->Voiced by: Creator/JunichiSuwabe (JP); Creator/MichaelMcConnohie

An admiral of the Island Nations who represents his country in negotiations with Falena.

* {{Ambadassador}}: He is the official representative of the Island Nations, an area thoroughly realized in ''Suikoden 4''.
* BoisterousBruiser: Cool, likes to play tricks, and devoted to justice.
* TheCaptain: He is is the Captain of the flagship of the Obel Maritime Fleet.
* ContinuityNod: The Island Nations story arc references ''Suikoden 4'' a good deal. His ship is the "Lino En Kuldes", named after the King of Obel appearing in that game.
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler: He is Ferid's father, but like his son, kept their familial relationship a secret so as not to arouse fears that the Island Nations Federation held an undue influence over the Falena Queendom.]]
* FlawExploitation: He takes advantage of his daughter Bernadette's steely adherence to procedure, cajoling her into going along with his schemes by presenting a much wilder option so she will compromise and go for a subtler approach, but still go ahead with it. He wins either way.
* GondorCallsForAid: Usually, he remains HeroicNeutral on international matters, but after the Prince helps to stop a group of pirates from burning down the Nirva Lighthouse in his territory, he joins the Prince's cause.
* IShallTauntYou: He is ''constantly'' bantering with his daughter Bernadette, and arguably goes a little far sometimes but he is well meaning, and his teasing is likely done as a [[SecretTestOfCharacter secret test of her character]].
* MilitaryMaverick: He is often at odds with the Obel Maritime Council, and does things without their approval, much to Bernadette's disapproval.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler: His son Ferid, daughter Bernadette, grand-daughter Lymsleia and he all share similar features, hair and eye colouring.]]
* ThoseTwoGuys: He and daughter Bernadette exhibit this. He's constantly bantering with her, whereas she is steely and serious.

!!Bernadette Egan

Skald's daughter, who is sent to assist the Prince as an unofficial show of support.

* TheLancer: She serves as her father Skald's adjutant.
* MagicKnight: She is equally skilled in both magic and combat.
* KnifeNut: She wields throwing knives in combat.
* SecretOtherFamily: [[spoiler: She has no idea that Ferid is her brother and that the Prince is therefore, her nephew.]]
* TheStoic: To compare with her MilitaryMaverick of a father.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler: Her father, brother Ferid, niece Lymsleia and she all share similar features, hair and eye colouring.]]

* DismantledMacGuffin: He was sent on a special mission to find and gather the few remaining Rune Cannon shells for the Island Nations.

A soldier of the Island Nations who seeks to find and destroy Rune Cannons along with her partner, Yahr.

* TheAtoner: She joins Yahr's missions to make up for the misdeeds of her ancestor.
* ContinuityNod: Her whole story arc is a reference to the dangers of rune cannons, which is fully explored in ''Suikoden Tactics''.

* TheHardHat: She wears a peculiar (and not especially flattering) bullet-shaped helmet incorporating a cape.
* NumberTwo: She is Yahr's adjutant.

!!Chisato
[[quoteright:222:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sv_chisato.png]]
->Voiced by: Creator/FumikoOrikasa (JP)

A shy ventriloquist with the ability to mimic any voice.

* FriendToAllChildren: She makes puppet shows for children, but she deeply loves them too.
* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: In-universe example. She's normally shy and quiet, but whenever she gets "into character" (for her puppet shows or anything else), she can be quite excitable and energetic.
* GirlNextDoor: Has the vibe, except for being an unattached woman.
* PuppetShows: Her shtick.
** HandPuppet: Her speciality. She loves to entertain children.
* MugglePower: In a world where magic can be sold like a product, her amazing mimicry is completely mundane in origin.
* TheRedBaron: She's known as "the woman of 1000 voices", which is itself a ShoutOut to Mel Blanc, the legendary cartoon voice actor with a seemingly endless repertoire.
* ShrinkingViolet: Despite her performing talents, she's painfully shy.
* VoiceChangeling: She is integral to the Island Nation RescueArc, when pirates hold a child [[HostageSituation hostage]] in exchange for the release of their captain. Bernadette disguises her as the captain using a hood, and with her amazing talent for mimicry, she fools the pirates and the boy is rescued.

[[folder:The New Armes Kingdom]]

!!Shula Valya
[[quoteright:170:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sv_shula_valya.png]]
->Voiced by: Koichi Toochika (JP); Creator/YuriLowenthal (EN)

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Especially if you're Cius, who refers to him as an "androgynous freak".
* EnigmaticMinion: Starts off as one.
* OfficerAndAGentleman: He is extremely polite, even in his capacity as Armes Marine corp commander, and refuses to deploy his troops against the Prince.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: One of the first thing he does is doesn't ride out to pointless wars. He's also concerned that if his soldiers buy too many gifts, it would cause inflation in Estrise, so he limits them.
* SimSimSalabim: His look (and that of most Armes characters) seems to owe its origns to the Indian subcontinent. Also, his family clan is called "Madras", which is a city in the south of India.
* TechnicalPacifist: Despite his comrades from Armes joining the Godwins in the fight against the Prince, it is revealed that he actually wanted the Prince's Army to triumph in order to foster peaceful relations with Armes.

* [[BodyguardBabes Bodyguard Babe]]: She is Shula's secretary and protector.
* TheFashionista: She impresses even Josephine with her sense of style.
* HelloNurse: Her beauty garners a lot of attention throughout the Prince's Army, especially from Kyle who expressed an interest in her.
* PurityPersonified
* RingsOfDeath: She wields a Chakram in exactly the same manner as Sialeeds.
* SimSimSalabim
** MeaningfulName: In reference to the above, her weapon upgrades as: Agneya, Asani, Sudarsana. The names refer to Hindu deities of war.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Combat-wise; to Sialeeds. She not only uses the same weapon and has similar stats, she even replaces Sialeeds in [[CombinationAttack Unite Attacks]]. [[spoiler: Also, Sialeeds' lover is also attracted to her.]]
* WideEyedIdealist

!!Nifsara
->Voiced by: Kotomi Yamakawa (JP); Creator/DorothyEliasFahn (EN)

One of Shula's bodyguards, known for her love of {{Bishounen}}.

* [[BodyguardBabes Bodyguard Babe]]: She is Shula's other protector.

* LovableSexManiac: She is well known to chase after pretty young boys, which is the reason she joined the incredibly {{Bishounen}} Shula's brigade in the first place, and is in hog heaven at the castle HQ.

* [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]]: To Sharmista's blue.
* SimSimSalabim
** MeaningfulName: In reference to the above, her weapon upgrades as: Shataghanta, Shakti, Pinaka. Each of these refers to aspects of Hindu mythology.

* TheTease

!!Maha Sparna
->Voiced by: Kazuko Okada (JP)

An Armes General who allies with the Godwin faction.

* TheBaroness: Has all of the criteria, although not any form of sexpot.
* DirtyCoward: Following defeat by the Prince's army after her misjudged alliance with the Godwins, she destroyed the Sable-Armes border gate in order to ensure that she would not be pursued. Her cowardly actions trapped the Southern Mountain Corp and made their retreat impossible, [[spoiler: leading directly to Jidan's death and her own disgrace and eventual execution back home.]]
* EvilMatriarch: Of the Armes Darja Clan.
* EvilPlan: She rides into battle when Godwin makes a deal with Armes. If Armes will help subjugate the Prince's forces, then Armes will gain all former Barows territory after the war ends. [[spoiler: She attacks the Castle HQ, but finds the castle empty. The Prince then counter-attacks with the aid of the Dragon Cavalry and by activating the sluice gate on Ceras Lake to flood the castle. Most of the Armes troops are useless, abandoning their weapons to escape the flooding castle.]]
* HumiliationConga: Her troops lose their weapons, she's chased back to Armes, leaves her subordinate to die, and gets [[spoiler: killed for her trouble.]]
* IceQueen: And certainly an unsympathetic one.
* SimSimSalabim: Her look (and that of most Armes characters) seems to owe its origins to the Indian subcontinent.

!!Jidan Guisu
->Voiced by: Masaru Ikeda (JP)

Maha Sparna's right hand.

* AnAxeToGrind: He wields a huge axe.
* TheBerserker: [[spoiler: Having been abandoned by Maha, and thoroughly trounced by the Prince, he makes one last ditch attempt at victory, but is slain in combat]].
* DastardlyWhiplash: His look, although ''fat bastardly''-whiplash is probably more apt.
* FatBastard: He's bloody enormous.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Following Maha's cowardice, detailed above.]]
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler: If you choose to stay in the castle, he's the one who delivers the killing blow to Roy.]]
* NumberTwo: To Maha Sparna.
* SimSimSalabim: His look (and that of most Armes characters) seems to owe its origins to the Indian subcontinent.
* VillainousGlutton: His first move in each conquered city is to loot food.

!!Nakula

An Armes soldier who seeks to avenge his father, who was killed by a Nether Gate assassin.

* BigGuy: He towers over most.
* BladeOnAStick: He wields the God Spear.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a X shaped scar on his forehead.
* GottaCatchEmAll: There's only a relatively short time window to recruit him and his out-of-the-way placement doesn't help. [[spoiler: You have to recruit him to properly recruit Sagiri.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: He is persuaded to join the Prince as he too is out to destroy Nether Gate (see below).
* HeroicBuild: The skimpy clothes helped.
* KilledOffForReal: If the unit he is in during a War Battle is defeated, there is a chance he will die.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Nakula has an estranged twin brother. They had a falling out over Nakula's bloody quest for vengeance.
* ThePromise: A dark take. [[spoiler: At the end of the game, he promises he will return to Falena to kill Sagiri after dealing with the Nether Gate forces left in Nagarea. She accepts.]]
* {{Revenge}}
** YouKilledMyFather: After his father was murdered by [[spoiler: Sagiri whilst she was still a child assassin of Nether Gate]], he swore vengeance and vowed to bring down the entire organization.
** RevengeBeforeReason
* SociopathicHero: While on the Prince's side, he's still a bloodthirsty asshole. Justified by both his backstory and the fact that its pretty clear his vengeance is all he has left.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: He follows Sagiri around, and is often found waiting outside whatever room she is in. This becomes particularly poignant at moments such as before massive battles, where most of the characters are spending time with their friends and loved ones. Nakula has nothing left but his hatred, and Sagiri is a living symbol of that hate.
* UndeathlyPallor: His skin is an odd, sickly colour, which lends him a slightly unsettling look.
* VillainousValour: While fighting for Armes he holds off the entire Falenan army, seemingly to buy his lord a chance to escape. Lord Solis rewards Nakula's bravery by sparing his life and having him treated for his wounds.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Of a sort. He was wounded in the initial battle with Armes, however his reason for fighting so recklessly was not out of loyalty to Jidan Guisu, but in order to become [[ConvenientComa injured/captured]] so he'd have to stay in Falena and could therefore pursue his father's killer.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Elves, Dwarves, Monsters and Beavers]]

!!Isato
->Voiced by: Isao Yamagishi (JP); Eddie Frierson (EN)

Haswar's elven bodyguard.

* ThePaladin: He is the head cleric of the Lunas enclave.
* PointyEars

Considering his backstory, it's not really a surprise.
* GoodIsNotNice: She's a giant bitch, but she'll always help the Prince.
* IceQueen: Without a hint of defrosting.
* OurElvesAreBetter: Very much her way of thinking.
* PointyEars: Of course.
* SourSupporter: To an ''unbelievable'' degree. She only joins the Prince's Loyalist Army along with Isato and Haswar in order to ensure the former's safety amongst what she considered to be barbarians.

!!Gunde
->Voiced by: Eisuke Yoda (JP), Creator/KimStrauss (EN)

Logg's former partner-in-crime.

* BeneathTheEarth: His home at the Dwarf Camp.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: His friendship with Logg.

* MadeOfIron: His hit points are predictably high.

!!Dongo

An apprentice blacksmith.

* TheApprentice
* BeneathTheEarth: His home at the Dwarf Camp.
* ButtMonkey: His boss, Wabon, treats him very badly and actually fires him for pursuing his interest in upgrading weapons.

A master blacksmith and the apparent leader of the Dwarf Camp.

* BadBoss: He treats Dongo very harshly, even firing him for his interest in forging weapons.

* GrumpyOldMan
* LittlePeople
** OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: See Gunde's entry, above.

* BeneathTheEarth: Her home at the Dwarf Camp.
* CoolBigSis: How she is viewed by her fellow dwarves.
* FantasticRacism: Initially she had little respect for humans, typically referring to everyone as just 'human'.
* GottaCatchEmAll
** GuideDangIt: In an iteration of the ''Suikoden'' series that features some ''major'' TrialAndErrorGameplay recruitment across the board, hers is perhaps the most specific, requiring a preternatural level of farsightedness. She must be accompanied to a ''specific'' [[spoiler: 1F window at the Lunas enclave]] before she'll join and given the amount of buildings with windows in the game, this seems ''incredibly'' abstruse.
* LittlePeople
** OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Averted in her case. She's a relatively rare example of a ''female'' member of a group often depicted as a OneGenderRace.
* VideoGameInterfaceElements: Her speciality. She can change the colour (and design) of the in-game menu windows.

!!Bergen
->Voiced by: Creator/KeijiFujiwara (JP)

A dwarf who is being taught magic by Levi.

* MeaningfulName: Her name translates to "white lotus" from Japanese.
* MonsterAllies
* SeaMonster
** StockNessMonster: She's a giant, white serpent and has lived in the depths of Ceras Lake for over 100 years.
* SnakesAreSexy
* ThrowingDownTheGauntlet: She was understandably furious about her Ceras Lake home being drained, and attacks the Prince on the HQ jetty.
** DefeatMeansFriendship: Once defeated, it is revealed she does not want to leave her home and so joins the Prince's cause, if you have Genoh or Levi recruited.
*** This doesn't stop her from occasionally disrupting Subala's fishing minigame, and no, you can't catch the giant snake with your fishing rod.

!!Genoh
-> Voiced by: Creator/SeizoKato (JP)

An elderly, sentient, giant tortoise.

* AbsentMindedProfessor: His advanced age means he has trouble recalling anything in particular.
* BondCreatures: Once recruited.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: He ''insists'' on his potential companions having respect for the elderly and this shows up in his recruitment process, where the Prince must be accompanied by an "old" character (Levi, Alhazred etc) who is leveled up to at least 95% of the Prince's current level.
* [[MistakenForGods Mistaken For A God]]: He is deeply respected by all beavers, who refer to him as "Boss".
* MonsterAllies: He's a giant tortoise.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: As seen when he requests a decade or so in order to converse with older members of the Prince's army.
* ShroudedInMyth: He is regarded as something of a myth, with only Fuwalafuwalu's father claiming to have met him in living memory.
* SquashedFlat: His "Oops!" unite attack with Viki sees her teleport him (accidently) upside down a few feet above the enemy. He crashes down, crushing them shell-first.
* SuperToughness: Has very high base HP, Def, and Mdef, and his skills enhance them.
* TranslatorBuddy: He acts as this for Byakuren, impressing on her the heroic nature of the Prince's cause, which helps to convince her to join.
* TurtlePower: He has more HP, strength, luck, and magic defense than most characters.

!!Fuwalafuwalu
[[quoteright:327:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sv_fuwalafuwalu.png]]

* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: In Suikoden's medieval setting, he's incongruously dressed in a 1950's style biker jacket, sunglasses and carries an ''electric'' guitar.
* BattleThemeMusic: Including him in the active party changes the battle theme to a [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome guitar-driven, speed-metal remix]].
* [[BigBrotherWorship Big Sister Worship]]: For whatever reason, the ''only'' person he will actually not act out to is his seemingly mild-mannered older sister Meroon. She's the only person that can convince him to join the Prince as well.
* CivilizedAnimal

Lord Barows had a dam built, but it failed and construction was abandoned. However, the debris washed to Lordlake and damaged their water. The people were angry, and Lord Rovere was trying to calm them down. In a panic, Euram orders the Barows garrison to attack. Although Norden did not agree with this, he could not go against his commander's wishes. But the mob was too fierce, and in the end, the Barows garrison was routed. In retailiation, Lord Barows ordered that some of the garrison disguise themselves and incite the rioters to attack the East Palace. Norden did not go with those rioters, but with the Dawn Rune found in Salum's basement, it is clear what his intentions were.]]

* ActionGirl
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Belcoot, much to her annoyance.

* KatanasAreJustBetter: She wields a katana named Ishima.
* TheRival
** TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: She has an intense (fairly one-sided) rivalry with Belcoot, as he is the only swordsman to ever best her in combat.
* {{Samurai}}: Her look, albeit a female variation.
* ToBeAMaster: Improving her fighting skills is her life's goal.
* TriangRelations: Marina is highly suspicious of her seemingly professional interest in Belcoot, thinking it may well be more than that. She may well have a point.

A thief who fancies himself Oboro's archenemy.

* CunningLikeAFox
* EvilAlbino: He has white hair/eyebrows, and eyes of a pink-ish colour.
* InvisibilityCloak: He is aided mostly by his Raven Rune, which makes him completely invisible in low-light conditions.

* MementoMacGuffin: His signature thefts are the family trees of the Falenan nobles, including Solis Raulbel of Sable.
* MeaningfulName: His weapons upgrade as Rook, Carrion Crow, Nevermore.
** ShoutOut: "Nevermore" is undoubtedly a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's famous poem (Quoth the raven, "Nevermore").
* {{Ninja}}: His look.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname
* TheRival: As expected, GreatDetective Oboro is hot on his heels, refering to him (derisively) as "Crow".
* VillainBall: He's is finally caught after Egbert's ancient and valuable Aethelbald family tree is used as bait and he becomes trapped in the HQ store-room.
** DefeatMeansFriendship: He then joins the Loyalist forces, suitably impressed the Prince managed to catch him.

A scholar who is trying to find [[TomeofEldritchLore the Book of Condemnation]] before it can create a disaster.

* EncyclopediaExposita: His speciality. He manages Suikoden 5's version of this, the Old Books volume 1-13.
* FetchQuest
** TomeOfEldritchLore: He requests the Prince's help in questing for the Book of Condemnation, an incredibly dangerous book he wants to keep secure. It even ''attacks'' him and the Prince when it is finally found.
* GottaCatchEmAll
** GuideDangIt: His recruitment process is a veritable SideQuest in itself, and again, like with many other Suikoden 5 characters, it requires a great deal of foresight (and luck) to complete the long chain of triggered events without a guidebook.
* TheIllegible: His writing script is so ornate that it is impossible to decipher.
* ShoutOut: His name (and storyline) is one big shoutout to Abdul Alhazred, a fictional character in H. P. Lovecraft's [[DidYouJustIndexCthulhu Cthulhu mythos]]. In the books, Alhazred was the author of the Necronomicon, an evil book whose possessors fell victim to an unpleasant end, including Alhazred himself.
* SecretlyWealthy: He comes across as a book peddler, but he's actually incredibly rich.
* SmartGuy
* StoutStrength: He's not bad in combat, despite his rotund build.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: He wields a [[DoorStopper large book]] in combat, again all named for Lovecraft references.

!!Haleth

A corrupt port administrator.

* BettingMiniGame: His speciality. He runs a betting stall for Yoran's Dragon Horse racing game.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: A former administrator at Hershville, he is known for looking the other way regarding smuggling, as long as he can take a cut.
* {{TheGambler}}
* TheNondescript: Arguably. In a series that (on the whole) has excellent character design, he's pretty bland and unmemorable, which actually makes sense given that he ''has'' to be as bland as possible to be able to do his smuggling business well.
* WildCard: He actually made several bets with other administrators, placing his money on a victory for the Prince's forces, and so joins to keep an eye on proceedings.

!!Leknaat the Seer
->Voiced by: Creator/SayakaOhara (JP); Creator/MariDevon (EN)

A seer who has great knowledge of the True Runes. She has appeared in every game in the main series.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's so laid-back and easygoing, no one would know he's a seriously ''amazing'' fighter.
* GladiatorGames: He took part in the Sacred Games after Mueller joked he should try, but lost after being drugged by a piece of candy a small child in the audience gave him.
* HeroWorshipper: Mueller can do no wrong in his eyes.
** SingleTargetSexuality: His complete and utter idolization of Mueller verges on more than just admiration.
* IOweYouMyLife: He is utterly indebted to Mueller and follows him wherever he goes.
* LightningBruiser: He's swift, fairly strong, and wields his sword effortlessly, as seen in the battles.
* MasterSwordsman: Amongst the best, if not ''the'' best in the game.

* CloudCuckoolander: Among other things, she thinks Jeane became beautiful by "blasting the ugly" with her magic.
* CutenessProximity: Gushes over the beautiful and "kewl" mechanical horse in the Revolving Bridge. [[spoiler: Until it tries to attack her.]]

* ActionGirl: A mixture of her parents; decent at both melee with a harpoon and decent in magic, especially Fire and Water.
* BadassFamily: Daughter in one.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown eyes and hair.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: They'd probably get ruined, considering Lun spends a lot of time in the water.

* HarpoonGun: She hurls fishing harpoons in combat.
* LittleMissSnarker: Her father's daughter, through and through.

* BadassFamily: Father in one.
* BumblingDad: He tries not to be, but he's a little too eager and a little too dim and things just don't go well.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Eventually, you learn [[spoiler: he used to smuggle fugitives. Also remember that this is the guy who destroyed a dam by [[RammingAlwaysWorks crashing several explosive boats at its supports]]...''personally''. Looks like there's a reason Kisara marries him after all]].
* FishingMinigame: His speciality. A fisherman by trade, he naturally competes in it.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: His WeaponOfChoice is an anchor.
* LovableRogue: BigFun and friendly, but he's also a human smuggler, albeit a benign one.
* MightyGlacier: Slow as a rock, but that anchor hits hard.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Inverted. Logg and Lun look almost completely disimilar. Gunde doesn't even believe Logg has a daughter until Lun opens her mouth. That convinces him.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With his daughter Lun.
* UglyGuyHotWife: In-universe: his wife is considered so smoking hot that people knew of her outside Raftfleet, and she seemingly didn't show any interest in Logg until she abruptly announced they were marrying, provoking other men of Raftfleet into all but ''attacking'' him out of jealousy.
* ZanyScheme: He comes up with these pretty quickly.

* NumberTwo: She's is the Vice-admiral of Raftfleet and serves as Admiral Raja's aide and second-in-command.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: She keeps this very much a secret and indeed, the announcement of her engagement to Logg lead to him receiving ''death threats''. [[spoiler: The fact that he rammed a flaming, explosive boat ''personally'' against a dam without breaking a sweat might have something to do with it.]]

Lun's best friend / rival and a talented fisherwoman.

* ACupAngst: Has gone from being Lun's friend to her rival based in part on this.

* IntrepidMerchant: In his youth he was a legendary trader, and once recruited, sets up a trading post at the HQ.
* ChainOfDeals: For him to join, it is necessary to buy out the salt in other trading posts so the price sky-rockets. He will then ask how the Prince will rectify this. Sell at least 6 salts immediately to reduce the price. He then joins immediately, [[SoProudOfYou impressed with the young Prince's business acumen.]]
* GuideDangIt: Like a few other characters in ''5'', his recruitment process is particularly [[TrialAndErrorGameplay specific]]. Stockpiling salt before undertaking his recruitment will help immensely.
* MysteriousPast: Hinted to have shady dealings in the past. That could be why his son and daughter-in-law were killed.
* PromotionToParent: He has taken care of Shinro, his grandson, since the death of his son and daughter-in-law.

* WeSellEverything: Once recruited, his item store carries any item that has been found available in any other item store already visited by the Prince, though of course there is NoHeroDiscount.
* WellDoneSonGuy: He wants to be just as good a merchant as Sairoh. Although a less malignant example: Sairoh is infinitely helpful.

!!Retso

A skilled chef who has devoted his life to looking after his daughter, Shun Min.

See Characters/SuikodenRecurringCharacters.

!!Shun Min

* DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler: As mentioned in her father Retso's entry above, after the events of ''Suikoden 5'', but before the events of ''Suikoden 2'', she steals the 'Moon Bird' recipe and gives it to chef Hai Yo. However, Jinkai's thugs catch and kill her just as she secrets the recipe away.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Despite raising fish for her father to cook, she feels bad about their fate and is often moved to tears if diners can't finish their meals, feeling that her fish had died for nothing.
* {{Kawaiiko}}

->Voiced by: Takashi Akiyama (JP)

A swordsman competing in the Sacred Games in the hopes of outlawing slavery in Falena.

* {{Bishounen}}: He certainly hooked Marina effortlessly.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Sialeeds wonders how he could have spent time in Kanakan as such a lightweight.
* ChickMagnet: Especially where Marina is concerned.
* ContinuityNod: His Falcon Rune is, to long-time fans, an indicator of his skill, especially as the rune only ever shows up on one genuinely accomplished swordsman/swordswoman in each game.
* GladiatorGames: He was born and raised to be a gladiator in Suikoden's very own [[TheThunderdome Thunderdome]], Stormfist.
** DefectorFromDecadence: However, he soon became jaded with the brutal way his fellow fighters were treated and ran away to Kanakan.
* ForGreatJustice: His aim is to win the Sacred Games, and thus marry Princess Lymsleia, to ensure the safety of his fellow gladiators in the future.

* MasterSwordsman: A candidate for "most skilled in the game," along with Georg and Richard.
* MrFanservice: Amongst the hottest guys in the series.
* NiceGuy: He refuses to mention Godwin cheated, mostly because Marina, or her employers, could be hurt by the Godwins.
* ObliviousToLove: He's very dense when it comes to love and cannot suspect Marina's true feelings for him.
* RescueArc: Stormfist thugs, unhappy with a "foreigner" like Belcoot potentially marrying the Princess, kidnapped him, requiring the Prince and his party to race to the rescue. Their plan foiled, these same thugs then kidnapped Marina, a local girl friendly with Belcoot to lure him into a trap. He rushed to the rescue with the Prince's help and saved Marina.
* SlippingAMickey: With Marina safe, he prepared himself for the final against Childerich (The Godwin's champion) but he was drugged by [[spoiler: Marina herself (explained in her entry, below)]] and was unable to fight, allowing the Godwin faction victory in the contest. He forgives her, and later on (after the coup) points out that this was probably for the best, as the Godwin's would have used some other method, most likely lethal, to get him out of the picture.

!!Marina

An employee of the Stormfist inn who is in love with Belcoot.

* DoggedNiceGirl: She's clearly in love with Belcoot, although he is fairly oblivious.
* {{Meido}}: She works as a maid at the Stormfist Inn.

* TraumaInn: Her speciality once recruited. She runs the HQ inn.
* UnwittingPawn: Because of her infatuation with Belcoot, she was seen as a target to eliminate him by the Godwins.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: She was visited by Dolph, who gave her the drug ''Dark Arcanum''. She was desperate for Belcoot ''not'' to marry the Princess and so used the drug to [[SlippingAMickey knock Belcoot out harmlessly]], so that he could lose the final and wouldn't be wed.]]
** MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:She was devastated when she finds out that Belcoot was injured because of what she did, to the point of letting out a BigNo.]]
** EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: However, this later turns out to be a good thing, as Belcoot notes that the Godwins would have used some other method to get rid of him, and he is lucky to be alive.]]

* HeroicBuild: His abs could probably double as sandpaper.

* {{Loincloth}}
* MiscarriageOfJustice: He was disqualified from the Games when, supposedly, Armes informants were talking to him about killing the Queen.

* OneManArmy: Originally from Armes, he fought off a battalion of 100 Falenan troops whilst poaching across the border.
* RatedMForManly: WalkingShirtlessScene and a ProudWarriorRaceGuy, living as a nomad in the woods. Oh yeah.
* SuperSenses: He's able to navigate the North Lunas Woods with no problem, something that only elves are supposed to be able to do. Urda is highly frustrated by this.
* TimeToUnlockMoreTruePotential: His speciality. He runs the combat training centre at HQ.
* UnderwearOfPower: A non-fetished example.
* VocalDissonance: He barely speaks, but his high-pitched, perky "Good!" victory quote, does not fit his gruff exterior.

!!Shoon
->Voiced by: Takeo Irie (JP); Creator/SteveStaley (EN)

A gladiator-slave who wants the Prince's help.

* BadassAdorable: Unusual for a man, but with his smiling mug, friendly demeanor, and take charge behavior, he certainly qualifies.

* CommutingOnABus: He's one of the first Stars of Destiny encountered and is a prominent character early on, but he's actually the ''last'' Star to be recruited towards the very end of the game.

* KidHero: He's just 14 years old.

* ActionGirl: She's one of the few who'll take on the Prince one-on-one.
* BareFistedMonk: She specializes in unarmed combat.
* BareYourMidriff: Makes a bit more sense since she's a marital artist.
* BigEater: As is required for someone of her musculature. Mentioned by both Oboro and Retso (the TeamChef, no less).

* BoisterousBruiser: Hits hard, but is always bright and bubbly.

* LargeHam: It's hilariously easy to tell when she's going to use a 'Special' attack during her one-on-one battle against the Prince.
** CallingYourAttacks: Her specials all have ridiculous names!
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Her combination attack with Shoon, which is only available when they're both in berserk status, basically consists of the two of them going to town on one enemy.
* OhCrap: A pretty funny one comes after the fight in Lelcar when she realizes she just attacked the Prince of Falena (Not stupidity on her part, she had only seen him once before and the prince was in disguise at the time).
--> '''Nikea''': Uh oh...! That means... I conked the Prince in the head! They'll throw me in the Feitas (river) for sure!
* StrawFeminist: She didn't realize women were forbidden to compete in the Sacred Games, and launches into a confused rant, since she says, in Falena, women have the power.
** IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: Despite the spirited protestations, she didn't even know that the prize, aside from fame and glory, was that the winner would ''marry'' the Princess.
** SheIsTheKing: Sialeeds almost wishes Nikea ''was'' a man, because, if she was married to Lym, she figures there would always be something interesting going on. Georg thinks she's be incompetent. But still better than Euram.

* BettingMiniGame: His specialty. Once recruited, he can be challenged to a game of draughts (checkers) for potch.
* BlingOfWar: His military uniform and hat reference the British Army's Rifles Regiment circa early 1800's.
* BlueBlood: The ancient Aethelbald family can trace their line of descent even earlier than the Falenan Royal Family. His valuable family tree document acts as a PlotCoupon when recruiting Raven.
* CatchPhrase: There ''was'' an example here, but one of those FILTHY GODWIN DEVILS stole it! FILTHY, FILTHY DEVILS!
* CavalryOfficer: His position in battle, once recruited.
* CloudCuckoolander: He's ''definitely'' eccentric, if not borderline [[TheMentallyDisturbed insane]] and lives a [[BeneathTheEarth troglodyte existence]] in the sewers beneath Stormfist.
* ClusterFBomb: As seen when he launches into a venom-spewed diatribe on the Godwin family.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Everything is done by the FILTHY DEVIL GODWINS! Everything.
* DogFoodDiet: You can guess how he survived down in the sewers by how licks his lips whenever he looks at Oboro's pet Mr. Mouse.

* ImpoverishedPatrician: He is a member of the once proud Aethelbald family, which collapsed over one hundred years ago due to the machinations of the Godwin family.

* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: His personality when he's calm.

A beautiful (but haughty) fashionista living in Haud. [[spoiler: Really Shuya Valya's younger sister, who left Armes to get out of her brother's shadow.]]

* ActionFashionista: She's obsessed with fashion, and is a powerful early magic-user for the active party.
* TheBeautifulElite
* BlueBlood: The young daughter of [[spoiler: the Valya clan]].
* TheCastShowoff: InUniverse. Her personal [[UselessUsefulSpell Red Rose Rune attack]] sees the screen darken and a spotlight land on her whilst she pirouettes into battle for a combo attack. The trade-off is that the other party members are unimpressed with her show-boating and enter a "grumpy" status.
* TheFashionista: So she thinks. In fact, she will only join the Prince if he is accompanied by others she considers fellow "fashion divas", namely Sialeeds or Sharmista. Once recruited, she makes multiple attempts to convince the Prince to develop what she sees as a "proper" fashion sense, to no avail.
* TheFightingNarcissist: She's the first lady narcissist available for the active party.
* FlowerMotifs: Specifically roses, as with most other narcissist encountered in the series.

** PimpedOutDress: She wears a voluminous pink and red gown that [[OfCorsetsSexy cinches her waist]].

** RegalRinglets: Her hair (or perhaps powdered wig) is piled up in a huge coiffure of ringlets.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Whereas her fellow narcissist Esmeralda was obsessed with her own beauty, Josephine is wrapped up in her own sense of style.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The narcissist's theme "Scarleticia Castle" plays whenever the Prince interacts with her.
* ParasolOfPain: She wields a spike-tipped parasol named Melusine like a [[RoyalRapier fencing foil]] in combat.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her whole outfit is different shades of pink.
* ProudBeauty: Her beauty is only matched by her haughtiness.
* RoyalBrat: She is ''particularly'' caustic if the Prince attempts to recruit her without Sialeeds present, and is appalled at his apparent lack of fashion sense. She does mellow a little once recruited.
* TheRunaway: [[spoiler: It turns out that she has run away from Armes as she felt unappreciated and in her brother Shula's shadow.]]
* ShoutOut: She's possibly named after Napoleon Bonaparte's wife, the first Empress of France. She also seems to have aspects of MarieAntoinette.

* FetchQuest: Like all other appraisers in the series, he must be brought a certain mystery item in order for him join.

* GrailInTheGarbage: The painting in question is often found out in the wilderness after it's dropped by random monsters.
* {{Hustler}}: He views himself as something of a conman, especially amongst the wealthy, gullible citizens of Haud, as he has no real interest in appraising. Given the quality of 'art' by the 'artists' of Haud, it's not hard to see why.
* IHaveAFamily: He keeps up the facade to support his family.

!!Cornelio
->Voiced by: Creator/KeijiFujiwara (JP); Michael Sorich (EN)

A composer who has tamed Do Re Mi elves to act as an orchestra.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: He bears a rather creepy resemblance to the Do Re Mi elves he covets.
* BattleThemeMusic: Having him in your party changes the battle music to a more orchestral piece.
* CartoonConductor: The elves certainly qualify Cornelio.
* MonsterRoommate: He had assembled a bizarre orchestra of (normally dangerous) Do Re Mi elves in his Haud Village home, which were defeated and dispersed by the Prince when he entered his house.
** FetchQuest: Furious at this, he demands that the Prince return his elves one by one, thereby PuttingTheBandBackTogether.
* MusicAndSoundEffects: His speciality - talking to him lets the player hear the various tunes used throughout the game.
** BattleThemeMusic: Having him in the active party remix's the battle music to a more classical variation.
* NotGoodWithPeople: Type 2!
* SummonMagic: He wields the unique Do Re Mi Rune, which allows him to summon Do Re Mi elves to attack or put enemies to sleep.
* SourSupporter: He has a habit of refering to nearly all other members of the Prince's army as "mediocrities". He's not a bad person, however, just really, really, ''really'' proud of his musical talent to the point of narcissism.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Has this dynamic with Josephine.

* GondorCallsForAid: Usually, he remains HeroicNeutral on international matters, but after the Prince helps to stop a group of pirates from burning down the Nirva Lighthouse in his territory, he joins the Prince's cause.
* IShallTauntYou: He is ''constantly'' bantering with his daughter Bernadette, and arguably goes a little far sometimes but he is well meaning, and his teasing is likely done as a [[SecretTestOfCharacter secret test of her character]].

* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler: His son Ferid, daughter Bernadette, grand-daughter Lymsleia and he all share similar features, hair and eye colouring.]]

* FriendToAllChildren: She makes puppet shows for children, but she deeply loves them too.

* GirlNextDoor: Has the vibe, except for being an unattached woman.
* PuppetShows: Her shtick.
** HandPuppet: Her speciality. She loves to entertain children.
* MugglePower: In a world where magic can be sold like a product, her amazing mimicry is completely mundane in origin.

* ShrinkingViolet: Despite her performing talents, she's painfully shy.
* VoiceChangeling: She is integral to the Island Nation RescueArc, when pirates hold a child [[HostageSituation hostage]] in exchange for the release of their captain.

* OfficerAndAGentleman: He is extremely polite, even in his capacity as Armes Marine corp commander, and refuses to deploy his troops against the Prince.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: One of the first thing he does is doesn't ride out to pointless wars. He's also concerned that if his soldiers buy too many gifts, it would cause inflation in Estrise, so he limits them.
* SimSimSalabim: His look (and that of most Armes characters) seems to owe its origns to the Indian subcontinent. Also, his family clan is called "Madras", which is a city in the south of India.

* HumiliationConga: Her troops lose their weapons, she's chased back to Armes, leaves her subordinate to die, and gets [[spoiler: killed for her trouble.]]
* IceQueen: And certainly an unsympathetic one.
* SimSimSalabim: Her look (and that of most Armes characters) seems to owe its origins to the Indian subcontinent.

!!Jidan Guisu
->Voiced by: Masaru Ikeda (JP)

Maha Sparna's right hand.

* AnAxeToGrind: He wields a huge axe.
* TheBerserker: [[spoiler: Having been abandoned by Maha, and thoroughly trounced by the Prince, he makes one last ditch attempt at victory, but is slain in combat]].
* DastardlyWhiplash: His look, although ''fat bastardly''-whiplash is probably more apt.
* FatBastard: He's bloody enormous.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Following Maha's cowardice, detailed above.]]
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler: If you choose to stay in the castle, he's the one who delivers the killing blow to Roy.]]
* NumberTwo: To Maha Sparna.
* SimSimSalabim: His look (and that of most Armes characters) seems to owe its origins to the Indian subcontinent.
* VillainousGlutton: His first move in each conquered city is to loot food.

!!Nakula

An Armes soldier who seeks to avenge his father, who was killed by a Nether Gate assassin.

* BigGuy: He towers over most.
* BladeOnAStick: He wields the God Spear.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a X shaped scar on his forehead.
* GottaCatchEmAll: There's only a relatively short time window to recruit him and his out-of-the-way placement doesn't help. [[spoiler: You have to recruit him to properly recruit Sagiri.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: He is persuaded to join the Prince as he too is out to destroy Nether Gate (see below).
* HeroicBuild: The skimpy clothes helped.
* KilledOffForReal: If the unit he is in during a War Battle is defeated, there is a chance he will die.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Nakula has an estranged twin brother. They had a falling out over Nakula's bloody quest for vengeance.
* ThePromise: A dark take. [[spoiler: At the end of the game, he promises he will return to Falena to kill Sagiri after dealing with the Nether Gate forces left in Nagarea. She accepts.]]
* {{Revenge}}
** YouKilledMyFather: After his father was murdered by [[spoiler: Sagiri whilst she was still a child assassin of Nether Gate]], he swore vengeance and vowed to bring down the entire organization.
** RevengeBeforeReason
* SociopathicHero: While on the Prince's side, he's still a bloodthirsty asshole. Justified by both his backstory and the fact that its pretty clear his vengeance is all he has left.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: He follows Sagiri around, and is often found waiting outside whatever room she is in. This becomes particularly poignant at moments such as before massive battles, where most of the characters are spending time with their friends and loved ones. Nakula has nothing left but his hatred, and Sagiri is a living symbol of that hate.
* UndeathlyPallor: His skin is an odd, sickly colour, which lends him a slightly unsettling look.
* VillainousValour: While fighting for Armes he holds off the entire Falenan army, seemingly to buy his lord a chance to escape. Lord Solis rewards Nakula's bravery by sparing his life and having him treated for his wounds.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Of a sort. He was wounded in the initial battle with Armes, however his reason for fighting so recklessly was not out of loyalty to Jidan Guisu, but in order to become [[ConvenientComa injured/captured]] so he'd have to stay in Falena and could therefore pursue his father's killer.

[[folder:Elves, Dwarves, Monsters and Beavers]]

!!Isato
->Voiced by: Isao Yamagishi (JP); Eddie Frierson (EN)

Haswar's elven bodyguard.

* BaldOfAwesome: There's not a hair on his head.
* BigDamnHeroes: After the [[spoiler: Godwin coup]], he bravely helps the Prince's party escape by bringing them through an elven path that crossed the North Lunas Woods.
* BlackSheep: How he is viewed by fellow elf, Urda, who thinks he should return to Alseid away from the "barbarous humans".
* TheChampion: To Lady Haswar. He is ''incredibly'' protective of her wellbeing.
* HiddenElfVillage: He hails from the secret village of Alseid, accessible only to elves.
* ForestRanger: When he catches Logg and Lun panning for gold in the sacred Lunas river, he advocates strict punishment to be taken against the Raftfleet father and daughter so as to set an example to others.
* InHarmonyWithNature
* NatureHero: He originally became a cleric in order to preserve the North Woods of Lunas from gold mining which would have had dire consequences for the ecosystem as well as the elven village of Alseid, from which he hails.
* NumberTwo: He is Lady Haswar's second in command.
* ThePaladin: He is the head cleric of the Lunas enclave.
* PointyEars
* PlatonicLifePartners: In a bath scene with Mathias and Dinn, he notes that his loyalty to Haswar had nothing to do with gender or romance.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Lady Haswar. He will only join the Prince's cause when she does.

!!Urda
->Voiced by: Creator/SayakaOhara (JP)

[[folder:The Queen's Knights]]
!!Lyon[[spoiler:/Mismar]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s5_lyon.png]]
->Voiced by: Creator/EriSendai (JP); Creator/CarrieSavage (EN)

A Queen's Knight-in-training and the Prince's bodyguard. She has a fairly dark past, although all most people know about it is that Ferid took her in when she was young.

* ActionGirl: You can't be a bodyguard if you can't fight.
* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler:Although she can be saved, see below.]]
* BadassAdorable: She has her moments, such as when the Prince visits her in the infirmary on the night before the final battle. Lyon [[PluckyGirl does her best to assure him she's fine and ready fight by his side again.]] Seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQimNYMTD7A here, at 4:07-4:47]]
** {{Determinator}}: She protects the Prince with her life and takes her duties very seriously.
* [[BodyGuardBabes Body Guard Babe]]: She's the Prince's personal bodyguard.
* BodyguardCrush: Heavily implied to have one on the Prince.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Used to be a member of Nether Gate until it was 'disbanded', and was taken in by Ferid, who helped her grow out of her {{Tykebomb}} status.]]
* {{Expy}}: Though not in appearance, her role in the plot is identical to Gremio from the first game. [[spoiler: Including the HeroicSacrifice.]]
* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: A switchblade katana. It's a real weapon too, known as a nagamaki.
* KilledOffForReal: She was supposed to be: Silva mentions that only the Dawn Rune's magic kept her alive. [[spoiler:If you don't gather all 108 Stars of Destiny, she dies at the end of the game.]]
* KatanasAreJustBetter: She wields a large, switchblade-like ''nagamaki''.
* NotBloodSiblings: Just before the Prince and his entourage depart for Stormfist, Ferid tells Lyon that she's practically his third child and feels it entitles him to a bit of fatherly concern every now and then, Miakis also notes this on the morning the party sets out for Lunas, when she tells Lym that the Prince and Lyon are like brother and sister[[note]]Lysmleia wanted to know why it was okay for Lyon to enter her brother's bedroom unannounced, but not her.[[/note]]
* PluckyGirl: Lyon is an eternal source of cheerful optimism and support for the Prince.
* SpottingTheThread: [[spoiler: The only person who Roy can't fool with his "Prince" Disguise.]]
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Saves the Prince from Dolph's ambush during the New Queen's Campaign, nearly dying in the process and winding up on the sidelines for some time afterwards.]]
* ThisCannotBe[=/=]TryingNotToCry: This aptly sums up her reaction upon seeing the Prince and her friend, Miakis, preparing to duel each other... possibly to the death.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the Prince, even if it kills her; especially [[spoiler: [[KilledOffForReal if you fail to gather all 108 Stars of Destiny, before the final battle.]]]]

!!Georg Prime
->Voiced by: Hisanori Koyatsu (JP); Creator/JamiesonPrice (EN)

The newest member of the Queen's Knights and an old friend of Ferid's. Georg is one of the best swordsmen in the world. [[VideoGame/SuikodenII Years later, he would join in the fight against Highland.]]

See Characters/SuikodenRecurringCharacters.

!!Miakis
->Voiced by: Creator/FumikoOrikasa (JP); Creator/KateHiggins (EN)

Lym's [[TheGadfly eccentric]] bodyguard and best friend.

* ActionGirl: She's a Queen's Knight and Lymsleia's personal bodyguard [[BewareTheNiceOnes for a reason.]]
* ApologeticAttacker[=/=]JustFollowingOrders: [[spoiler:If you lose the duel against Miaskis, she reluctantly walks behind the Prince [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1F2SpuRuqw and slits his throat]]; resulting in a NonStandardGameOver.]]
-->'''Miakis: (softly)''' "I'm sorry...."
* BadassAdorable: A rare instance where the trope applies to an adult, see OlderThanTheyLook.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite being the most cheerful out of the Queen's Knights, she got that job (as well as being the personal bodyguard to the heiress to the Queendom) for a ''very'' good reason. Best seen when she cheerfully threatens (with one of her knives) to toss Euram into a river after he gets a little too close when trying to court the ten year old Lymsleia. She would have been chosen as a Dragon Knight too if she wasn't female.
* [[BodyGuardBabes Bodyguard Babe]]: She is Princess Lymsleia's personal bodyguard.
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Has a heartwrenching breakdown when forced to face the prince in a duel.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: It's hard to believe someone so seemingly carefree somehow ended up becoming a Queen's Knight, or that she might've been a member of the Dragon Calvalry, were it not for their strict policies of not allowing women in their ranks.
* CoolBigSis: She isn't just Lymsleia's bodyguard, but her confidant and closest friend, apart from her brother. The epilogue during the end credits even says they remained as close as loving sisters.
* DuelBoss[=/=]FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler:As a result of Gizel's manipulation.]]
* FamedInStory: While they're in Stormfist for the Sacred Games, Lyon tells the Prince that Miakis and Kyle are both proficient in magic, but are famous throughout Falena as Queen's Knights, rather than magic users.
* TheGadfly: She loves to mess with her friends' heads. For example, she tricks Lym into thinking that the ceremonial battle the Prince competed in for the Sacred Games was part of the official tournament and thus the Prince seeks his sister's hand in marriage.
* GenkiGirl: She's probably the only woman you'll meet that can threaten to slit someone's throat and dispose of their body in the river and do it with a smile and perfectly chipper tone, ''without'' being AxeCrazy, or a StepfordSmiler.... and '''[[BewareTheNiceOnes MEAN IT!!]]'''
* ImpliedLoveInterest: Implied twice, toward the Prince:
** When they're about to begin the purification ritual at Lunas, Lym tells the Prince not to peek. If the player answers they don't intend to, Miakis will tempt the Prince by reminding him that ''she'll'' be taking part in the ritual as well.
** The bath scene between the Prince, Lyon, Miakis, and Roy, further suggests Miakis has a crush on him. When Roy shows up in the women's bath pretending to be the Prince, not only is Miakis ''not'' upset to see him, she invites him to join them... until Lyon points out that it's Roy in disguise. That changes everything. After Miakis chases him off[[note]]by not-too-subtly implying she intended to castrate him[[/note]], Lyon notes:
-->'''Lyon: (chuckling to herself)''' "She's never gonna live this down, heh, heh! Her face was so red!"
* ItsPersonal[=/=]ThisIsUnforgivable: Seen at the climax of "The Queen's Campaign". Dolph attempts to attack the Prince, but [[TakingTheBullet Lyon shields him with her own body]] and is mortally wounded, causing Miakis to draw her blades and attack Dolph without hesitation or restraint.
* KnifeNut: She wields two Ghurka-type, curved daggers.
* MagicKnight: Lyon remarks that, among the knights, Miakis is well known for her magic. But she's still a knight, too.
* LittleMissBadass: She's OlderThanSheLooks, but the trope still applies compared to the other Queen's Knights.
* LittleMissSnarker: Sialeeds can personally attest to that, since ''even she'' isn't exempt from Miakis' zingers:
-->'''Lymsleia: (at Sialeeds)''' "Well, isn't it your own fault for not getting out of bed? I think you're just getting old."
-->'''Sialeeds: (at Lym)''' "I'm sorry, Lym, your Aunty isn't hearing too good. What was that again?"
-->'''Lymsleia: (runs and hides behind the Prince)''' "Eep!"
-->'''Prince: (if player chooses)''' "You started it, Lym."
-->'''Lymsleia: (upset)''' "Who's side are you on?"
-->'''Miakis: (innocently)''' "He's right y'know... [[StealthInsult just 'cuz it's true doesn't mean you should say it!]]"
-->'''Sialeeds: ([[DeadpanSnarker deadpan]])''' [[SarcasmMode "Why thank you, Miakis, why don't you teach us all so more about tact?"]]
* OlderThanSheLooks: [[AllThereInTheManual Believe it, or not, she's 22]], but looks, sounds, and acts closer to Lyon's age.
* OneOfTheBoys: Growing up, she was a tomboy and was always around Roog and Rahal.
* PluckyGirl: For most of the game, she's pretty upbeat and supportive. Which makes the part where Gizel [[BreakTheCutie breaks her]] so [[TearJerker difficult to watch.]]
* [[HeWillNotCrySoICryForHim She Will Not Cry, So I Cry For Her]]: Miakis invokes this when Lymsleia refuses to cry [[spoiler: over her parents' deaths]] to deny the Godwins the satisfaction of breaking her. So Miakis holds her and cries in her stead.
* SilkHidingSteel: Ever cheerful and outgoing, she always does her job with polite words and a nice, big smile, even when she's got a dagger to your throat.
* SoleSurvivor: Variation [[spoiler: She's the only full-fledged Knight who retains her title after the War's end. (Galleon retires, Kyle leaves for unspecified reasons, Georg [[PersonaNonGrata is forced to leave the country]], Alenia and Zahhak fell when the Prince's forces took back the Palace.]]
* {{Tomboy}}: She hung around with boys growing up, like Roog and Rahal.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:It's heavily implied that [[spoiler: Gizel engineered her presence at Doraat and ''allowed'' her defection so that she would spread the truth of what she'd seen during the coup. Including how she witnessed Georg stabbing the Queen]].

!!Kyle
->Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeKishio (JP); Creator/YuriLowenthal (EN)

A member of the Queen's Knights known for being something of a pervert.

* AnIcePerson: Anyone with a water rune can use ice spells. But he uses it to great effect to [[spoiler:save the Prince, Lyon, and Sialeeeds from Dolph and Childerich.]]
* BerserkButton: Hurting women sets him off. He will, in fact, gain the Berserk buff should any female party members fall.
* BigDamnHeroes: Helps bail out the prince, Lyon and Sialeeds during [[spoiler: the coup, along with Zegai]].
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Like Miakis above, there's a ''very'' good reason why he's one of the Queen's Knights (despite his laid back attitude).
* TheCasanova: Suikoden 5's very own Don Juan.
* ChivalrousPervert: He'll flirt with any female, but he's not rude about it.
* ContinuityNod: In the same vein that the Prince's disguise clothes are a nod to [=McDohl's=] outfit in VideoGame/SuikodenI, Kyle's disguise seems to be a nod to Viktor's.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: His happy-go-lucky attitude hides his brilliance in combat, and in fact, in battle he holds his sword with a loose, wavering grip to make opponents underestimate him.
* MrFanservice: InUniverse, he's broken a string of hearts.
* HandsomeLech: Women seem to be on his mind ''all'' of the time when the Prince interacts with him. He's even quite unhappy that the Prince had met [[MsFanservice Jeane]] without him.
* HeroesPreferSwords: He wields a katana named Tianjin Wind.
* MagicKnight: He is equally skilled in both magic and combat.
* MakingASplash: He specializes in Water Rune magic, which makes him a CombatMedic as well.
* SecretRelationship: [[spoiler:Is implied to be in one with Sialeeds.]]
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Alenia. [[spoiler: {{Subverted}} later when it's revealed he's '''not''' the one she's attracted to.]]

!!Galleon
->Voiced by: Creator/SeizoKato (JP); Tom Wyner (EN)

An elderly member of the Queen's Knights. Galleon's loyalty to the Falenan royal family is absolute, even though Arshtat destroyed his hometown of Lordlake.

* AmicablyDivorced: [[spoiler: From Silva.]]
* BadassGrandpa: One of the oldest Queen's knights.
* BladeOnAStick: He wields the huge Thundering Halberd.
* CoolOldGuy: Stoic and stern, but noble and true.
* GrumpyBear: After watching [[spoiler: his home get scorched by the Sun Rune, divorcing Silva, and eventually watching Georg necessarily murder Arshtat]], he's a bit sour.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Arshtat turned his hometown of Lordlake into a barren wasteland, but he still follows her because she is his queen. [[spoiler:After Lym's coronation, this causes him to do a brief FaceHeelTurn as this technically makes The Prince's army traitors to the throne. Then Silva convinces him how foolish this is.]]
* StoneWall: He rarely ever gets multiple hits, has only one free rune slot (in addition to an unremovable Knight Rune), and not so great with magic, but he is without question THE hardest character in the game to kill, thanks to high HP, defense, and magic defense, excellent equipment options, and the ability to reach max rank in the Armor of the Gods epic skill.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the Falenan throne.

!!Alenia
->Voiced by: Touka Ooura (JP); Creator/DorothyEliasFahn (EN)

A member of the Queen's Knights who is outspoken about her loyalty to Lord Godwin. She defects to the Godwin faction early in the story.

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:Before the boss battle against them in Sun Palace, she and Zahhak become this when they take the Raging Nostrum drug.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Paper-thin clothing. Her loyalty to Arshtat was purely contingent on supporting the Godwins.
* CoDragons: With Zahhak to Gizel, at least gameplay-wise.
* {{Determinator}}: Her father used to be a knight prior to his death. She considers him weak however, and uses that to fuel her ambitions.
* DualBoss: With Zahhak.
* EvilRedhead: Almost pink hair, and fiercely emotional.
* FaceHeelTurn: She turns against the Royal Family to side with the Godwin faction.
* FieryRedhead: Even uses a Fire Rune [[spoiler: after her attempt to control the Twilight Rune didn't pan out]].
* HotBlooded: Very much her FatalFlaw.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Is very quick to dismiss the Prince's army as "rebels and traitors" and brings up the Prince's "treachery" every time you meet her. Except that [[spoiler:she turned on Arshtat, her Queen and Ferid, her Lord Commander, to side with the very faction who usurped the Prince's family from power, thus making Alenia more appropriate of being called a traitor]].
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Sympathetic might be too kind but anytime one of Godwin's faction has to fail spectacularly, it has to be her.
* {{Jerkass}}: While betraying the royal family is a jerky thing to do, she couples this by being a giant bitch about it.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In the very beginning, she actually seems somewhat reasonable. She tells the Prince he should be wary of Lord Barows [[spoiler: which is completely correct]], and that the Prince should listen to the Godwins first before judging them dangerous. [[spoiler: After the betrayal, though, she loses her mind.]]
* MilitaryBrat: Her father was a Queen's Knight.
* MoralMyopia: Always eager to call the Prince a traitor, for daring opposing the actual usurper she defected to, the Godwins. Her partner Zahhak eventually gets tired of it and calls her on it.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler: She lies to Gizel by telling him that Sialeeds is dead to convince Marscal to use the Sun Rune, which kills Sialeeds.]]
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: As you can see above, after so constant failures [[spoiler: she manages to provoke Sialeeds's death.]]
* PsychopathicWomanchild: Her grasp on her emotions is so poor she can come across as this. Some of her moments during the Sacred Games, while somewhat treated as {{Adorkable}}, are pretty distubring in retrospect.
* RedOniBlueOni Red Oni: To Zahhak's Blue.
* RecurringBoss: She's fought three times.
* StopHavingFunGuys:[[invoked]] She ''strongly'' disapproves of Kyle's flighty, flirty attitude.
* StrawmanEmotional: Even worse than Zahhak plays the StrawVulcan, as he at least happens to keep a facade of dignity and competence while Alenia just keeps making a fool of herself.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: She tries to [[spoiler: use the Twilight Rune.]] It doesn't go well for her.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Zahhak.
* TriangRelations: [[spoiler: The A in a Type 4. She loves Gizel, but while he is aware of her feelings, he merely manipulates them while pursuing Sialeeds.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: After she successfully [[MurderTheHypotenuse engineers her rival's death]], Gizel reveals that he ''knows'' she lied.]]
* YouShallNotPass: At the end of the game. [[spoiler: It costs her life.]]

!!Zahhak
->Voiced by: Ryo Wakabayashi (JP); Creator/PaulStPeter (EN)

A stoic member of the Queen's Knights. He defects to the Godwin faction early in the story.

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: That's what Raging Nostrum does.]]
* [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]]: To Alenia's Red.
* CoDragons: With Alenia to Gizel, at least gameplay wise.
* DualBoss: With Alenia
* FaceHeelTurn: He turns against the Royal Family to side with the Godwin faction.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Downplayed when compared to Alenia, but in the beginning of the game, he informs the Prince that the idealistic path isn't necessarily the best one. This changes when he [[spoiler:torches his own allies just to buy time to escape.]]
* OldSoldier: He and Galleon were the only members of the Queen's Knights still fit for duty after the Armes War.
* RecurringBoss: He's fought twice in battle, and can be fought a few times in war battles.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: [[DiscussedTrope Discusses]] this with the Prince. He remarks that Ferid's way of running things is too idealistic.
* TheSociopath: He is completely unfeeling, and described more as a megalomaniac than anything else.
* TheStoic: Calm no matter the circumstance, even when torching a city.
* StrawVulcan: Unlike the fanatical Alenia, he defected to the Godwins for purely pragmatic reasons.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Alenia.
* UhOhEyes: He sports unsettling, ice-blue eyes.
* YouShallNotPass: In Sol-Falena, [[spoiler: when going to rescue Lym.]]

[[folder:The Godwin Faction]]

!!Marscal Godwin
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sv_marscal.png]]
->Voiced by: Creator/{{Mugihito}} (JP); Creator/MichaelMcConnohie (EN)

The Lord of the House of Godwin. Lord Godwin seeks to turn Falena into a military state to stand up against Armes.

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Strong central government, kill the 'sub-humans' (in this case demi-humans, like the Dwarves and the Beavers) and strong military, yep.
* BaldOfEvil: Only a mustache on his head.
* BigBad: He's the ruthless head of the House of Godwin.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With his son Gizel.
* BlingOfWar: His outfit is particularly fancy.
* BlueBlood: One of two long-running noble factions.
* EvilPlan: Bump off the royal family (except for the young heir) and take over the country so they can take over other countries. The point being to strengthen Falena.
* FantasticRacism: Xenophobic and disrespectful of the 'lesser demi-human races', who aren't even allowed to enter his city, Stormfist. [[spoiler:This eventually leads to attempted genocide.]]
* TheMourningAfter: The succession war caused the deaths of Rosalind (Marscal's wife) and Mardras (his closest family friend). This prompted him to change his personality.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Before [[spoiler: dying, he draws out the power of the Sun Rune, so that the Prince can prove himself capable of withtstanding it's temptations.]]
* TheStoic: Nearly nothing seems to be able to faze him.
* VillainousFriendship: He and Dilber Novum are friends. [[spoiler:Learning about his death]] is one of the only times of the game [[NotSoStoic he becomes briefly emotional]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: A very dark example. [[spoiler: With the help of his scheming son Gizel, he orchestrates a coup in Sol-Falena to take control of the throne, believing that the only way to have successful country is to have unrivaled military strength, rigid order, and centralized government. One of the ways he intends to accomplish this is by committing genocide against the Beavers and the Dwarves because they are not Falenans and do not wish to help the country.]]

!!Gizel Godwin
->Voiced by: Daisuke Kita (JP); Creator/DougErholtz (EN)

The son and heir of Lord Godwin and Sialeeds' former fiance. Gizel loves to hatch [[GambitRoulette ridiculously complicated plans]] which make him a deadly enemy to the Prince.

* AffablyEvil: He's never less than unfailingly polite.
* ArrangedMarriage: Had one to Sialeeds when he was a kid.
** PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: It's implied he viewed it as this.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Has some with Sialeeds, though it comes off more as mutual bemused FoeYay.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Arguably with his father Marscal.
* {{Bishounen}}
* BlueBlood: The only child of Marscal and Rosalind, nobles with an ancient lineage.
* TheCharmer: As a political player in a DeadlyDecadentCourt, any good player would need to be, but Gizel is exceptionally talented.
* DisappointedInYou: Gizel invokes this with [[EvilRedhead Alenia]], when he reveals that he knows she lied in her report about [[spoiler: Sialeeds' death]] so he'd use the Sun Rune[[note]]since Gizel thought that the Dawn Rune had been lost to them; leaving the Sun Rune as their final option[[/note]]. [[spoiler: Thus, killing Sialeeds, himself.]] Instead of being angry with Alenia, he turns his back on her and solemnly expresses his disappointment, before walking out; leaving her weeping in shame.
* DuelBoss: Fought in the [[spoiler: throne room of Sol-Falena.]]
* EnigmaticMinion: He doesn't share his father's extremist views, but still supports him for his own reasons, [[spoiler: helping him to organise a coup in Sol-Falena on the night of his engagement banquet to Princess Lymsleia.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:In one of the Bad Endings to the game, the Prince decides to take the throne for himself with Barows. Barows then arranges the Prince's death and aligns himself with the enemy country Armes. Gizel reacts with genuine shock over the turn of events, and curses the Prince for his foolishness before readying the Royal Army for Armes's invasion.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Trieze Kushrenada.]] Gizel is a near carbon copy, from his attire, his hairstyle, and his manner of speech. They sole difference being, whereas Trieze was a [[MagnificentBastard meticulous planner]], Gizel prefers to set events in motion [[GambitRoulette and leave the outcome to chance.]]
* GambitRoulette: His favorite type of plan. {{Lampshaded}} by Marscal and Sialeeds, who point out that his Stormfist plan only succeeded through blind luck. [[spoiler: The plan being to connive and cheat his way to victory in the Sacred Games, and thereby winning Princess Lymsleia's hand in marriage and ultimately securing power for the Godwin Faction.]] Reportedly, he likes to use these schemes because they can't be traced back to him. This type of planning has repercussions for him in the long run. [[spoiler: The above spoiler is of particular note, as his machinations tipped off the Royal Family, which caused them to set precautions in place that ultimately enabled the Prince to escape during the coup.]]
* TheHeavy: He's the main villain for most of the game.
* KickTheDog: He repeatedly does this Lymsleia and Miakis, during his occupation of the Sun Palace, by confining them to Lym's room and informing them of his progress to find and kill her brother, the Prince, after declaring him a rebel.
** BreakTheCutie: Gizel's attempts to invoke this with Lymsleia doesn't work, but he definitely succeeds where Miakis is concerned. Immediately following Lym's coronation, Gizel strips Miakis of her guardianship of Lym and denies her the right to see her anymore, causing Miakis to grow increasingly despondent. Which culminates in [[spoiler: ordering her to aid Alenia in Doraat's defense, where she's ultimately [[FightingYourFriend forced to fight the Prince in a duel]], to buy time for Alenia to escape. [[TearJerker Miakis' heart breaks]] as she's compelled to fulfil her duty, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxuufS4-5kc believing she had nothing left.]]]]
* MrFanservice: There are many who think Gizel is a handsome man. Even Sialeeds.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:It's implied in the manga that part of his motivation for plotting against the queendom is because the princesses' vow to never marry destroyed his engagement to Sialeeds.]]
** [[spoiler: There's also the fact that despite all of Gizel's bitterness and plotting - plotting that ''included killing Sialeeds'' - it's heavily implied that he ''never'' stopped loving her. When the report comes to him that she died it's one of the few times in the game he shows real emotion. And he chastises Alenia afterwards for reporting her death prematurely. Even his final words to the Prince are about her.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: What he's become, according to Sialeeds, his ex-fiancé.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He gleefully supports GladiatorGames.
* SenselessSacrifice: How he views [[spoiler: Zahhak and Alenia's deaths. He specifically told them to let the Prince come into the throne room.]]
* SuicideByCop: It's implied that [[spoiler: he kept Lym in the palace so the Prince would fight to the death.]]
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: [[spoiler: By marrying Lymsleia, he assumes command of the Queen's Knights and by extension the entire Royal Army.]]
* VillainousValor: Only at the end of the Game. [[spoiler: When the Loyalist army storms the palace, he waits with Lymsleia in the throne room. At first it seems like he's holding her hostage, but Lym calls his bluff. He then revels that he simply wanted to talk with the Prince. After a conversation about the well meaning intentions that lead to the war in the first place, then challenges the Prince to a one-on-one duel. The Prince is by that point a seasoned warrior; Gizel knew that, and was quite aware that he would (most likely) not survive.]]

!!Dolph
->Voiced by: Kiyotaka Furushima (JP); Chris Hanel (EN)

An emotionless Nether Gate assassin and Lyon's ForgottenChildhoodFriend.

* CreepyMonotone: It's not known whether it's because of his training, the drugs he takes, or both, but Dolph never raises his voice or tone.
* DuelBoss: The last duel of the game.
* TheDragon: Enforces Gizel's will efficiently.
* [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless Guy]]: Many Nether Gate assassins are this way, but Dolph is the poster child.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Has a placid smile, neat features, and is utterly terrifying.
* ForgottenChildhoodFriend: To Lyon.
* GoOutWithASmile: Although it's doubtful it means the same thing as a normal smile.
* ImplacableMan: Every time he is defeated, he gets right back up. [[spoiler: Comes from all the drugs he took. In fact, he may not even be technically alive anymore since he can no longer feel pain or even ''bleed''. The Prince has to vaporize him with the Dawn Rune to finally put him down for good.]]
* MonochromaticEyes: He almost lacks an iris.
* NotSoDifferent: When the beavers talk about Marscal's genocide, Dolph is quick to point out that the beavers believe themselves to be above humans and dismiss them. This is true, although the beavers never resorted to genocide.
* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:Creepy variation, as he turns out to be a BloodKnight whose apparent lack of emotion is merely due to all the drugs he uses to enhance his performance.]]

!!Childerich
->Voiced by: Creator/JunichiSuwabe (JP); Creator/LexLang (EN)

The gladiator used by Gizel Godwin during the Sacred Games. Chiderich is later revealed to be a particularly psychotic member of Nether Gate.

* AxeCrazy: Brutal and enjoys slaughter.

* ConfusionFu: He fights in an odd, unpredictable manner, using fluid movements to fox his opponent in a very similar manner to Voldo of [[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur]] fame.
* CombatSadomasochist: He gaves himself a pain when he ingests an excessive amount of Raging Nostrum.
* DuelBoss: [[spoiler: Can be fought by Roy at the Headquarters, but is definitely fought in Stormfist.]]

* FacialMarkings: After he [[spoiler: is made a Queen's Knight.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil
* HiddenWeapons: He fights using two hidden wrist blades.
* HumiliationConga: [[spoiler: After taking your castle, he was caught in [[TheChessMaster Lucretia's]] XanatosGambit and lost almost all his troops, then faces your army in one of the easiest campaigns in the game since ''your'' army is at its full strength and greatly outnumber his. Next time you see him, you kill him in a duel.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: Invokes this multiple times [[spoiler: first by slaughtering innocent civilians in a town they'd liberated from the Prince because they let the Prince get away and thus were "traitors", and when Bahram ''finally'' stands up to him over his brutality he accuses Bahram of betraying the crown, thus putting Bahram on the spot of proving himself]].
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: By the time you reach the final faceoff with him, he's pissed off enough people to earn himself a few willing to declare "LeaveHimToMe!" Take them along to that conflict, and they'll actually ''argue'' over this. [[spoiler: If you let them fight and they ''lose'' against him, they're KilledOffForReal.]]
* SlasherSmile: He sports a [[PsychoticSmirk contemptuous smirk]].
* StupidEvil: He kills Godwin supporters just because their town was conquered by the prince's army. The survivors of his rampage quickly re-evaluate their loyalty to the Godwins.

* [[AlasPoorVillain Alas Poor Antivillain]]: During the Second Battle of Doraat, [[spoiler:he launches a suicide attack on the Dahak to prove that his respect for his mentor and enemy Raja is not holding him back. After Luger gets his ass kicked, Raja has a rather sad chat with him, during which he apologizes for failing her as a student, before he passes away]].
* AntiVillain: Doing his duty, and no more.
* BladeOnAStick: Fights with a spear.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite his loyalty to the Crown, he's displeased with Childerich's promotion to Queen's Knight and is horrified with the senseless killing Childerich does to their ''own supporters''.

* MyCountryRightOrWrong: He loyally serves the Godwin Faction, as he thinks they will bring prosperity to Falena. He's ready to fight against anyone who oppose them, even his old mentor Raja. But it doesn't bring him any pleasure.

[[folder:House of Barows]]

!!Salum Barows
->Voiced by: Eisuke Yoda (JP); Michael Sorich (EN)

The Lord of the House of Barows. Lord Barows supports peace with other countries, albeit mostly to fill his pockets with money earned from trade.

* BigBadWannabe: Unlike most, the real extent of his menace is truly revealed only after his defeat.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: By the [[spoiler: Twilight Rune and a revenge driven Sialeeds.]]
* BlueBlood: The Barows are one of two high ranking noble families.
* CorruptPolitician: A medieval variation.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He does deeply care for Luserina and Euram. Of course, he cares mostly about how to use their skills to his advantage, but some scenes may imply that he truly loves them (for instance, he seems geniunely heartbroken when [[spoiler:his daughter abandons him because she's disgusted by his actions]] and, later in the game, [[spoiler:when Sialeeds tells him she wants to talk about Luserina, he's eager to hear news about her]]).
* FatBastard: He's almost ''spherical''.
* HumiliationConga: After [[spoiler: the truth about the Lordlake Rebellion and the whereabouts of the Dawn Rune are revealed. Even ''his own daughter'' walks out on him]].
* LargeHam: He gleefully [[ChewingTheScenery chews the scenery]] whenever he's on-screen.
* MeaningfulName: Possibly unintentional, but it's interesting that the person who tries to use the Prince's name and position to gain power for himself [[spoiler:and also stole the Dawn Rune]], has a name homophonic with the word "borrows".
* NotSoDifferent: Whereas the Godwins push forward more offensive policies, he supports more peaceful actions. Despite these, few actually ''trust'' his welcoming smile, as in many ways he's NotSoDifferent than his rival faction [[spoiler: given that he'll kill anyone who defies him]].
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: It turns out that [[spoiler:he was the one behind the Lordlake Rebellion, which was a scheme to help him steal the Dawn Rune. This forced Arshtat to take up the Sun Rune, setting up much of the game's conflict.]]
* ObviouslyEvil: Aside from his [[FatBastard considerable girth and its usual connotations in fiction]], just about everything he says and does adds to his sleaziness. He's corrupt as hell and everyone knows it.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Receives one from Sialeeds when [[spoiler: she murders him, mocking his ways and informing him that without him, the house of Barows will collapse]].
* SmugSnake: Only a few people can't see through his facade, and Salum never really ends up succeeding.

!!Euram Barows
[[quoteright:188:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sv_euram.png]]
->Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeNamikawa (JP); Ezra Weisz (EN)

Lord Barows' foppish son and heir. Euram is obsessed with Princess Lymsleia.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:If he does his optional HeelFaceTurn.]]
* BecomingTheMask: It's revealed [[spoiler:after his HeelFaceTurn that Euram's foppish behavior started off as an act to cheer his emotionally unstable mother up after the death of his brother. But a combination of Salum's pressure, his mother's instability, and Euram's own weak will made the ruse become part of his actual personality]].
* BlueBlood: As the heir [[spoiler:and head, once Sialeeds murders Salum]] of the Barows family.
* BreakTheHaughty: Failing over and over again and [[spoiler:seeing Sialeeds murder his father]] erodes most of the UpperClassTwit aspects of his personality. [[spoiler:As a reflection of this, he wears a serious and solemn expression in his default portrait should you recruit him.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler:If the player decides to recruit him and see him through his optional HeelFaceTurn.]]
* DirtyCoward: Although ''he'' thinks he's terribly brave, of course.
* TheDulcineaEffect: As seen when he encounters Princess Lymsleia.
* {{Expy}}: Like Snowe Vingerhut of ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden IV}}'', Euram is an UpperClassTwit [[spoiler:who panicked when placed in a position he wasn't fit for, triggering a tragedy]].
* FreudianExcuse: See BecomingTheMask above.
* GreenEyedMonster: If recruited, he confesses to the Prince that he was deeply envious of Gizel Godwin, who was better than him at ''[[TheAce everything]]''. A major part of why he sought to marry Lymsleia and become Commander of the Queen's Knights was so that he could finally beat Gizel at something.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: It's stated in the Dawn Times that Euram's behavior changed when Hiram was murdered and Luserina began taking up the various duties of Rainwall, leaving him alone with his scheming father and [[{{Hikikomori}} hidden]] mother.
* HopelessSuitor: For the Princess.
** StalkingIsLove: Although her obvious rebuttal lands on deaf ears.
* LargeHam: Like his father, expect [[ChewingTheScenery a lot of scenery]] to be on his menu whenever he appears.
* LaughablyEvil: He may be a traitor and a coward, but he's so ''fun'' and ''enjoyable'' to watch.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Lacking in the sympathy, since he's against you, but he's so laughably bad.
* MilesGloriosus: Not even remotely a good fighter.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While he acts most of the time like a buffoon, [[spoiler:his scheme in Sable poses a big threat to the Prince's war, as it prevents him from gaining an important ally]].
* OptionalPartyMember: He shares [[spoiler:a Star of Destiny with Eresh. Recruiting one prevents you from recruiting the other.]]
* RedemptionDemotion: [[spoiler:Despite being fought in a boss battle, he cannot be used outside of war battles.]]
* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: Given that he was supposed to head the Barows faction.
* TomeOfEldritchLore: [[spoiler: He is the owner of the Book of Condemnation, which features in an abstruse SideQuest that must be completed to recruit Alhazred.]]
* UpperClassTwit: Emphasis on the twit.
* UnexpectedSuccessor: [[spoiler:His brother Hiram was being groomed as his father's successor, until he got assassinated.]]

!!Luserina Barrows

The daughter of Lord Barows. Unlike the rest of her family, Luserina is actually a decent person.

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: She is used to swap party members in and out of the Prince's team. She's also ''nothing'' like the rest of her family.
* ArrangedMarriage: Salum continuously tries to get her into one with the Prince, much to her chagrin.
* TheAtoner: Feels she has to be one for her family's actions, even though she's not asked to.
* BlueBlood: The Noble House of Barrows.
* CannotSpitItOut: It's implied in a few scenes that she has a crush on the Prince.
* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler: When The Prince an his allies walk out on Lord Barrows, Luserina leaves with them; but not before telling her Father that she hopes that she ''never'' sees him again.]] Ouch.
* HairDecorations: She sports an alice band.
* ProperLady / SilkHidingSteel: She's sweet and graceful and apparently stays home while her dad and brother politic in the capital. However, if you talk around Rainwall, you'll find out that ''she'' is the one running the place (Salum admits this too, if you ask him about her). She also takes part in the coming battles as 'morale', in other words, encouraging them to victory.
* PurityPersonified: Looks the part and mostly acts the part, but she abandoned her family rather easily. (Although, given what they did, she may have some justification).
* ShipTease: Heavily implied to have feelings for the Prince.
* SiblingYinYang: Whereas she is demure, polite and kind, her brother Euram is foppish, spoilt and cowardly. [[spoiler: At least until his optional HeelFaceTurn.]]
* SpoiledSweet: Compared to her SmugSnake dad and UpperClassTwit brother, its amazing she turns out so helpful and kind.
* UglyGuysHotDaughter: Some characters can't believe they're related, and this is only ''one'' of the reasons.
* WhiteSheep: The complete opposite of her father.

!!Lady Barows

* TheGhost: She's holed up in her room when the Hero and his party arrive, and (rather creepily) never makes an appearance.

* TheUnreveal: The Prince never gets to meet her.

!!Chuck
->Voiced by: Saijo Tenetsu (JP); Doug Stone (EN)

* CannotSpitItOut: His infatuation for Luserina.
* DuelBoss: Fights a duel in Barows Manor [[spoiler: just before the Prince gets the Dawn Rune.]]
* DumbMuscle: He's not much of a thinker.
* TheGiant: He's ''huge''.
* GentleGiant: [[spoiler:The only time he fights is when he's been misled into believing that the prince is trying to steal Luserina's wedding present. Afterwards, he swears he never wants to get into a fight again.]]
* IOweYouMyLife: Luserina fed him when he was starving to death. As a result, he is incredibly loyal to her, [[spoiler: and leaves with her when she walks out on her father]].
* ManChild
* UndyingLoyalty: To Luserina.
* WolverineClaws: His weapon of choice, a vicious, spiked glove. Although after he fights the Prince, he swears off battle.

!!Boz Wilde
->Voiced by: Saijo Tenetsu (JP); Doug Stone (EN)

The Lord of Estrise. Boz is a boisterous man who becomes of the Prince's generals.

* AnAxeToGrind: Cutscenes of Boz in war show him with an axe.
* AnimeHair: He sports a huge mohican fin of hair.
* BadLiar: Sialeeds assures the Prince that Boz can be trusted because he sucks at lying.
* BoisterousBruiser: "Sometimes, justice is three feet of steel in your hands." That's his personality.
* ColonelBadass: Boz never shows a rank, but he is the traditional star of war leaders, and he's often spoken to in matters of war.
* HappilyMarried: NPC's will mention he has a wife named Donna and two boys. They get along great.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter:''Salum'' is one of his best friends.
* InformedAbility: He's apparently a good fighter. Since he's unable to be used outside of war battles, he never gets a chance to prove it.
* TheRival: To Dilber
* ThoseTwoGuys: He tries to get this dynamic started with the straitlaced Dinn, and he eventually semi-succeeds.

[[folder:Lucretia and her allies]]

->Voiced by: Akane Sakai (JP)

An enigmatic strategist who was imprisoned following the Lordlake Rebellion.

* BiTheWay: She had a husband in the past, was Marscal's mistress, and is heavily implied to have a sexual relationship with Cius. However, she has the same relationship with Lelei, and is also hinted to have one with Cathari.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: She has a nigh-incomprehensible sense of humor, which includes giving an over the top AwesomeMcCoolName that's a sentence on its own to your castle when you first get it.
* ButNowIMustGo: Disappears at the end of the game. A conversation with the [[spoiler:dying]] Sialeeds remarks that the Prince now no longer has any need of her. [[spoiler:Quite possibly the reason why she leaves Cius, but lets Lelei comes with her.]]
* TheChessmaster: One of the series's premier examples.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: She has the same look as the Karaya from ''Suikoden 3''. [[spoiler: Turns out this is because she ''is'' Karayan by blood, and went to Harmonia after her home was scorched by the True Fire Rune during the first Fire Bringer War.]]
* GiverOfLameNames: Nobody likes the overly long pseudo-poetic names she suggests for things like the army or the castle.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: It's revealed shortly after she's recruited that she used to be a Strategist for the Godwins, and betrayed them the moment she felt that serving them wasn't the right thing to do. In fact, the reason Arshtat sent her to the prison in the first place was to prevent the Godwins from executing her.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler:Implied to have been one for Harmonia. Whether the reason why she hasn't reported in to her superiors since being released is because she's [[BecomingTheMask Become The Mask]] or because she's been distracted by the war is unknown.]]
* OddNameOut: She's one of the few Suikoden strategists who are not of the Silverberg lineage, the other being Shu in 2. And even ''with'' that, it should be noted that Shu was nevertheless the ''student'' of a Silverberg. Lucretia has no (known) connection at all.
* RescueArc: The Prince must bust her out of prison before she can be recruited.
* ShootTheDog: [[spoiler:She convinced Arshtat to take up the Sun Rune to prevent it from being stolen.]]
* ShoutOut: Her feather fan and overall look seems to be a fond nod to legendary strategist, [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Zhuge Liang]]. Not to mention her tactics.
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker
* TheStrategist: The games makes it firmly clear that she's one of the absolute best in the whole series, and ''shows'' it in the actual battles she orchestrates, with planning bordering on precognition, just like the person she's based on.
* ThousandYardStare: Her portrait expression exhibits this when she is dishing out her strategic advice.

!!Lelei
->Voiced by: Saki Nakajima (JP); Creator/StephanieSheh (EN)

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:In her epilogue, she disappears with Lucretia and reemerges some time later as a genius strategist.]]

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: He'll break rules for this reason only.

* InTheHood: Although she doesn't put it over her head.
* KilledOffForReal: If the unit she is in during a War Battle is defeated, there is a chance she will die.

* BadassLongRobe: Cascades to the floor.
* FlechetteStorm: She hurls needle-like darts in combat.
* GameBreaker: Invoked. To quote a rather amusing comment from a walkthrough; "If you equip her with a Magic Absorb Rune on her right hand and a Flowing Rune on her left, the game will basically just give up and let you win."
* GoodIsNotNice: She's not evil, and gives some helpful advice. But she is a gigantic bitch.
* {{Jerkass}}: She get better around the last moments of the game, though only to the prince.
* MysteriousPast: She is acquainted with Jeane and Leknaat, which is intriguing and throws up even more questions about who or ''what'' she is.
** Not to mention her connection to the Night Rune, better known to fans of the previous games as the Star Dragon Sword. Her Star Rune is the unique "offspring" of the Night Rune.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She's mysterious, possibly non-human, and her skin doesn't lose its paleness when she's taking a bath.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Possibly, given her connection to the above mentioned characters.
* SourSupporter: She doesn't think much of anyone, although [[CharacterDevelopment she does come around]].
* TheSnarkKnight: From her introduction, and she doesn't let up.
* StarPower: Her [[DiscOneNuke Star Rune]], of course.
* StealthHiBye: She has a bad habit of showing up, insulting everyone who so much as breathes in her general direction, and disappearing just as quickly.
* TheStoic: She's very icy and aloof.
** NotSoStoic: When confronted by the idea of the Dawn or Twilight Runes being held by an unworthy host. [[spoiler:Or when her group is about to be attacked by someone who ''is'' worthy, like Sialeeds.]]

An enigmatic girl who has an unknown connection to the Ancient Armes Kingdom.

* ChildMage: In appearance, but this could be deceptive if she is (as is implied) of the same group as Jeane.
* DeathIsCheap: [[spoiler:If she's killed in a war battle, Jeane hints that she will eventually come back, although she never does during the game.]]
* KilledOffForReal: If the unit she is in is killed during a War Battle, there is a chance she will die.
* MagicWand: She wields the Ner-Gal staff.
* {{Miko}}: She wears the robes of the Nagarean clergy. Robes implying a rank that would be impossible to obtain at her apparent age.

* MysteriousPast: Like Zerase, she is also acquainted with Jeane, who refers to Eresh as her "comrade".
* MysteriousWaif: Canon-wise, she is potentially even more powerful than the legendary Jeane, as only she can penetrate the very lower levels of the ancient Armes ruins in the Big Hole.
* NoMouth: The lower half of her face is obscured by her veil.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Although unusual since it's on a woman.
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: She has a peculiar manner of speech and is a ThirdPersonPerson.

* MagicWand: He wields the The Viper Staff.
* TheProfessor: He's an expert on rune magic, but dislikes the term "wizard" and refers to himself as a "magic rune scholar".

* ActionGirl: A mixture of her parents; decent at both melee with a harpoon and decent in magic, especially Fire and Water.
* BadassFamily: Daughter in one.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: They'd probably get ruined, considering Lun spends a lot of time in the water.

* HarpoonGun: She hurls fishing harpoons in combat.

* BumblingDad: He tries not to be, but he's a little too eager and a little too dim and things just don't go well.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Eventually, you learn [[spoiler: he used to smuggle fugitives. Also remember that this is the guy who destroyed a dam by [[RammingAlwaysWorks crashing several explosive boats at its supports]]...''personally''. Looks like there's a reason Kisara marries him after all]].
* FishingMinigame: His speciality. A fisherman by trade, he naturally competes in it.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: His WeaponOfChoice is an anchor.
* LovableRogue: BigFun and friendly, but he's also a human smuggler, albeit a benign one.
* MightyGlacier: Slow as a rock, but that anchor hits hard.

* ThoseTwoGuys: With his daughter Lun.
* UglyGuyHotWife: In-universe: his wife is considered so smoking hot that people knew of her outside Raftfleet, and she seemingly didn't show any interest in Logg until she abruptly announced they were marrying, provoking other men of Raftfleet into all but ''attacking'' him out of jealousy.

* NumberTwo: She's is the Vice-admiral of Raftfleet and serves as Admiral Raja's aide and second-in-command.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: She keeps this very much a secret and indeed, the announcement of her engagement to Logg lead to him receiving ''death threats''. [[spoiler: The fact that he rammed a flaming, explosive boat ''personally'' against a dam without breaking a sweat might have something to do with it.]]

Lun's best friend / rival and a talented fisherwoman.

* IntrepidMerchant: In his youth he was a legendary trader, and once recruited, sets up a trading post at the HQ.
* ChainOfDeals: For him to join, it is necessary to buy out the salt in other trading posts so the price sky-rockets. He will then ask how the Prince will rectify this. Sell at least 6 salts immediately to reduce the price. He then joins immediately, [[SoProudOfYou impressed with the young Prince's business acumen.]]
* GuideDangIt: Like a few other characters in ''5'', his recruitment process is particularly [[TrialAndErrorGameplay specific]]. Stockpiling salt before undertaking his recruitment will help immensely.
* MysteriousPast: Hinted to have shady dealings in the past. That could be why his son and daughter-in-law were killed.
* PromotionToParent: He has taken care of Shinro, his grandson, since the death of his son and daughter-in-law.

* WeSellEverything: Once recruited, his item store carries any item that has been found available in any other item store already visited by the Prince, though of course there is NoHeroDiscount.
* WellDoneSonGuy: He wants to be just as good a merchant as Sairoh. Although a less malignant example: Sairoh is infinitely helpful.

Retso's beloved daughter and assistant.

* CheerfulChild: Sweet and lovely.

* DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler: As mentioned in her father Retso's entry above, after the events of ''Suikoden 5'', but before the events of ''Suikoden 2'', she steals the 'Moon Bird' recipe and gives it to chef Hai Yo. However, Jinkai's thugs catch and kill her just as she secrets the recipe away.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Despite raising fish for her father to cook, she feels bad about their fate and is often moved to tears if diners can't finish their meals, feeling that her fish had died for nothing.

* {{Bishounen}}: He certainly hooked Marina effortlessly.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Sialeeds wonders how he could have spent time in Kanakan as such a lightweight.

* GladiatorGames: He was born and raised to be a gladiator in Suikoden's very own [[TheThunderdome Thunderdome]], Stormfist.
** DefectorFromDecadence: However, he soon became jaded with the brutal way his fellow fighters were treated and ran away to Kanakan.

* MasterSwordsman: A candidate for "most skilled in the game," along with Georg and Richard.

* ObliviousToLove: He's very dense when it comes to love and cannot suspect Marina's true feelings for him.
* RescueArc: Stormfist thugs, unhappy with a "foreigner" like Belcoot potentially marrying the Princess, kidnapped him, requiring the Prince and his party to race to the rescue. Their plan foiled, these same thugs then kidnapped Marina, a local girl friendly with Belcoot to lure him into a trap. He rushed to the rescue with the Prince's help and saved Marina.
* SlippingAMickey: With Marina safe, he prepared himself for the final against Childerich (The Godwin's champion) but he was drugged by [[spoiler: Marina herself (explained in her entry, below)]] and was unable to fight, allowing the Godwin faction victory in the contest. He forgives her, and later on (after the coup) points out that this was probably for the best, as the Godwin's would have used some other method, most likely lethal, to get him out of the picture.

An employee of the Stormfist inn who is in love with Belcoot.

* ClingyJealousGirl: She certainly doesn't appreciate Hazuki's interest in sparring with Belcoot.
* DoggedNiceGirl: She's clearly in love with Belcoot, although he is fairly oblivious.
* {{Meido}}: She works as a maid at the Stormfist Inn.

* TraumaInn: Her speciality once recruited. She runs the HQ inn.
* UnwittingPawn: Because of her infatuation with Belcoot, she was seen as a target to eliminate him by the Godwins.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: She was visited by Dolph, who gave her the drug ''Dark Arcanum''. She was desperate for Belcoot ''not'' to marry the Princess and so used the drug to [[SlippingAMickey knock Belcoot out harmlessly]], so that he could lose the final and wouldn't be wed.]]
** MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:She was devastated when she finds out that Belcoot was injured because of what she did, to the point of letting out a BigNo.]]
** EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: However, this later turns out to be a good thing, as Belcoot notes that the Godwins would have used some other method to get rid of him, and he is lucky to be alive.]]

* {{Loincloth}}

Luckily, Lady Sialeeds pieces together the story and intervenes JustInTime to save him.
* OneManArmy: Originally from Armes, he fought off a battalion of 100 Falenan troops whilst poaching across the border.
* RatedMForManly: WalkingShirtlessScene and a ProudWarriorRaceGuy, living as a nomad in the woods. Oh yeah.
* SuperSenses: He's able to navigate the North Lunas Woods with no problem, something that only elves are supposed to be able to do. Urda is highly frustrated by this.
* TimeToUnlockMoreTruePotential: His speciality. He runs the combat training centre at HQ.
* UnderwearOfPower: A non-fetished example.
* VocalDissonance: He barely speaks, but his high-pitched, perky "Good!" victory quote, does not fit his gruff exterior.

!!Shoon
->Voiced by: Takeo Irie (JP); Creator/SteveStaley (EN)

A gladiator-slave who wants the Prince's help.

* KidHero: He's just 14 years old.

* BoisterousBruiser: Hits hard, but is always bright and bubbly.

* LargeHam: It's hilariously easy to tell when she's going to use a 'Special' attack during her one-on-one battle against the Prince.
** CallingYourAttacks: Her specials all have ridiculous names!
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Her combination attack with Shoon, which is only available when they're both in berserk status, basically consists of the two of them going to town on one enemy.
* OhCrap: A pretty funny one comes after the fight in Lelcar when she realizes she just attacked the Prince of Falena (Not stupidity on her part, she had only seen him once before and the prince was in disguise at the time).
--> '''Nikea''': Uh oh...! That means... I conked the Prince in the head! They'll throw me in the Feitas (river) for sure!
* StrawFeminist: She didn't realize women were forbidden to compete in the Sacred Games, and launches into a confused rant, since she says, in Falena, women have the power.
** IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: Despite the spirited protestations, she didn't even know that the prize, aside from fame and glory, was that the winner would ''marry'' the Princess.
** SheIsTheKing: Sialeeds almost wishes Nikea ''was'' a man, because, if she was married to Lym, she figures there would always be something interesting going on. Georg thinks she's be incompetent. But still better than Euram.

* BlingOfWar: His military uniform and hat reference the British Army's Rifles Regiment circa early 1800's.
* BlueBlood: The ancient Aethelbald family can trace their line of descent even earlier than the Falenan Royal Family. His valuable family tree document acts as a PlotCoupon when recruiting Raven.

* CavalryOfficer: His position in battle, once recruited.
* CloudCuckoolander: He's ''definitely'' eccentric, if not borderline [[TheMentallyDisturbed insane]] and lives a [[BeneathTheEarth troglodyte existence]] in the sewers beneath Stormfist.
* ClusterFBomb: As seen when he launches into a venom-spewed diatribe on the Godwin family.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Everything is done by the FILTHY DEVIL GODWINS! Everything.
* DogFoodDiet: You can guess how he survived down in the sewers by how licks his lips whenever he looks at Oboro's pet Mr. Mouse.

* ImpoverishedPatrician: He is a member of the once proud Aethelbald family, which collapsed over one hundred years ago due to the machinations of the Godwin family.

* ActionFashionista: She's obsessed with fashion, and is a powerful early magic-user for the active party.

* BlueBlood: The young daughter of [[spoiler: the Valya clan]].
* TheCastShowoff: InUniverse. Her personal [[UselessUsefulSpell Red Rose Rune attack]] sees the screen darken and a spotlight land on her whilst she pirouettes into battle for a combo attack. The trade-off is that the other party members are unimpressed with her show-boating and enter a "grumpy" status.
* TheFashionista: So she thinks. In fact, she will only join the Prince if he is accompanied by others she considers fellow "fashion divas", namely Sialeeds or Sharmista.

* TheFightingNarcissist: She's the first lady narcissist available for the active party.
* FlowerMotifs: Specifically roses, as with most other narcissist encountered in the series.

** CollaredByFashion: She wears a velvet choker incorporating a small rose motif.
** FluffyFashionFeathers: She wears a fascinator with two huge, white feathers projecting from it.
** PimpedOutDress: She wears a voluminous pink and red gown that [[OfCorsetsSexy cinches her waist]].

** RegalRinglets: Her hair (or perhaps powdered wig) is piled up in a huge coiffure of ringlets.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Whereas her fellow narcissist Esmeralda was obsessed with her own beauty, Josephine is wrapped up in her own sense of style.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The narcissist's theme "Scarleticia Castle" plays whenever the Prince interacts with her.
* ParasolOfPain: She wields a spike-tipped parasol named Melusine like a [[RoyalRapier fencing foil]] in combat.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her whole outfit is different shades of pink.
* ProudBeauty: Her beauty is only matched by her haughtiness.
* RoyalBrat: She is ''particularly'' caustic if the Prince attempts to recruit her without Sialeeds present, and is appalled at his apparent lack of fashion sense. She does mellow a little once recruited.
* TheRunaway: [[spoiler: It turns out that she has run away from Armes as she felt unappreciated and in her brother Shula's shadow.]]
* ShoutOut: She's possibly named after Napoleon Bonaparte's wife, the first Empress of France. She also seems to have aspects of MarieAntoinette.

!!Bastan

An art appraiser working in Haud. He is depressed because Lord Barows is forcing him to claim the things created by the people of Haud are art.

* TheEeyore: He's not the happiest guy around.
* FetchQuest: Like all other appraisers in the series, he must be brought a certain mystery item in order for him join.
** MementoMacGuffin: The item in question is a painting by the legendary artist, Ivanov, of ''Suikoden 1'' fame.
* GrailInTheGarbage: The painting in question is often found out in the wilderness after it's dropped by random monsters.
* {{Hustler}}: He views himself as something of a conman, especially amongst the wealthy, gullible citizens of Haud, as he has no real interest in appraising. Given the quality of 'art' by the 'artists' of Haud, it's not hard to see why.
* IHaveAFamily: He keeps up the facade to support his family.

!!Cornelio
->Voiced by: Creator/KeijiFujiwara (JP); Michael Sorich (EN)

A composer who has tamed Do Re Mi elves to act as an orchestra.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: He bears a rather creepy resemblance to the Do Re Mi elves he covets.
* BattleThemeMusic: Having him in your party changes the battle music to a more orchestral piece.
* CartoonConductor: The elves certainly qualify Cornelio.
* MonsterRoommate: He had assembled a bizarre orchestra of (normally dangerous) Do Re Mi elves in his Haud Village home, which were defeated and dispersed by the Prince when he entered his house.
** FetchQuest: Furious at this, he demands that the Prince return his elves one by one, thereby PuttingTheBandBackTogether.
* MusicAndSoundEffects: His speciality - talking to him lets the player hear the various tunes used throughout the game.
** BattleThemeMusic: Having him in the active party remix's the battle music to a more classical variation.
* NotGoodWithPeople: Type 2!
* SummonMagic: He wields the unique Do Re Mi Rune, which allows him to summon Do Re Mi elves to attack or put enemies to sleep.
* SourSupporter: He has a habit of refering to nearly all other members of the Prince's army as "mediocrities". He's not a bad person, however, just really, really, ''really'' proud of his musical talent to the point of narcissism.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Has this dynamic with Josephine.

* FlawExploitation: He takes advantage of his daughter Bernadette's steely adherence to procedure, cajoling her into going along with his schemes by presenting a much wilder option so she will compromise and go for a subtler approach, but still go ahead with it. He wins either way.
* GondorCallsForAid: Usually, he remains HeroicNeutral on international matters, but after the Prince helps to stop a group of pirates from burning down the Nirva Lighthouse in his territory, he joins the Prince's cause.
* IShallTauntYou: He is ''constantly'' bantering with his daughter Bernadette, and arguably goes a little far sometimes but he is well meaning, and his teasing is likely done as a [[SecretTestOfCharacter secret test of her character]].

* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler: His son Ferid, daughter Bernadette, grand-daughter Lymsleia and he all share similar features, hair and eye colouring.]]
* ThoseTwoGuys: He and daughter Bernadette exhibit this. He's constantly bantering with her, whereas she is steely and serious.

* FriendToAllChildren: She makes puppet shows for children, but she deeply loves them too.

* GirlNextDoor: Has the vibe, except for being an unattached woman.
* PuppetShows: Her shtick.
** HandPuppet: Her speciality. She loves to entertain children.
* MugglePower: In a world where magic can be sold like a product, her amazing mimicry is completely mundane in origin.
* TheRedBaron: She's known as "the woman of 1000 voices", which is itself a ShoutOut to Mel Blanc, the legendary cartoon voice actor with a seemingly endless repertoire.
* ShrinkingViolet: Despite her performing talents, she's painfully shy.
* VoiceChangeling: She is integral to the Island Nation RescueArc, when pirates hold a child [[HostageSituation hostage]] in exchange for the release of their captain.

* EnigmaticMinion: Starts off as one.
* OfficerAndAGentleman: He is extremely polite, even in his capacity as Armes Marine corp commander, and refuses to deploy his troops against the Prince.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: One of the first thing he does is doesn't ride out to pointless wars. He's also concerned that if his soldiers buy too many gifts, it would cause inflation in Estrise, so he limits them.

* [[BodyguardBabes Bodyguard Babe]]: She is Shula's other protector.

An Armes General who allies with the Godwin faction.

* TheBaroness: Has all of the criteria, although not any form of sexpot.
* DirtyCoward: Following defeat by the Prince's army after her misjudged alliance with the Godwins, she destroyed the Sable-Armes border gate in order to ensure that she would not be pursued. Her cowardly actions trapped the Southern Mountain Corp and made their retreat impossible, [[spoiler: leading directly to Jidan's death and her own disgrace and eventual execution back home.]]
* EvilMatriarch: Of the Armes Darja Clan.
* EvilPlan: She rides into battle when Godwin makes a deal with Armes. If Armes will help subjugate the Prince's forces, then Armes will gain all former Barows territory after the war ends. [[spoiler: She attacks the Castle HQ, but finds the castle empty. The Prince then counter-attacks with the aid of the Dragon Cavalry and by activating the sluice gate on Ceras Lake to flood the castle. Most of the Armes troops are useless, abandoning their weapons to escape the flooding castle.]]
* HumiliationConga: Her troops lose their weapons, she's chased back to Armes, leaves her subordinate to die, and gets [[spoiler: killed for her trouble.]]
* IceQueen: And certainly an unsympathetic one.
* SimSimSalabim: Her look (and that of most Armes characters) seems to owe its origins to the Indian subcontinent.

!!Jidan Guisu
->Voiced by: Masaru Ikeda (JP)

Maha Sparna's right hand.

* TheBerserker: [[spoiler: Having been abandoned by Maha, and thoroughly trounced by the Prince, he makes one last ditch attempt at victory, but is slain in combat]].

* FatBastard: He's bloody enormous.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Following Maha's cowardice, detailed above.]]
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler: If you choose to stay in the castle, he's the one who delivers the killing blow to Roy.]]
* NumberTwo: To Maha Sparna.
* SimSimSalabim: His look (and that of most Armes characters) seems to owe its origins to the Indian subcontinent.
* VillainousGlutton: His first move in each conquered city is to loot food.

!!Nakula

An Armes soldier who seeks to avenge his father, who was killed by a Nether Gate assassin.

* BigGuy: He towers over most.
* BladeOnAStick: He wields the God Spear.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a X shaped scar on his forehead.
* GottaCatchEmAll: There's only a relatively short time window to recruit him and his out-of-the-way placement doesn't help. [[spoiler: You have to recruit him to properly recruit Sagiri.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: He is persuaded to join the Prince as he too is out to destroy Nether Gate (see below).
* HeroicBuild: The skimpy clothes helped.
* KilledOffForReal: If the unit he is in during a War Battle is defeated, there is a chance he will die.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Nakula has an estranged twin brother. They had a falling out over Nakula's bloody quest for vengeance.

** YouKilledMyFather: After his father was murdered by [[spoiler: Sagiri whilst she was still a child assassin of Nether Gate]], he swore vengeance and vowed to bring down the entire organization.
** RevengeBeforeReason
* SociopathicHero: While on the Prince's side, he's still a bloodthirsty asshole. Justified by both his backstory and the fact that its pretty clear his vengeance is all he has left.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: He follows Sagiri around, and is often found waiting outside whatever room she is in. This becomes particularly poignant at moments such as before massive battles, where most of the characters are spending time with their friends and loved ones. Nakula has nothing left but his hatred, and Sagiri is a living symbol of that hate.
* UndeathlyPallor: His skin is an odd, sickly colour, which lends him a slightly unsettling look.
* VillainousValour: While fighting for Armes he holds off the entire Falenan army, seemingly to buy his lord a chance to escape. Lord Solis rewards Nakula's bravery by sparing his life and having him treated for his wounds.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Of a sort. He was wounded in the initial battle with Armes, however his reason for fighting so recklessly was not out of loyalty to Jidan Guisu, but in order to become [[ConvenientComa injured/captured]] so he'd have to stay in Falena and could therefore pursue his father's killer.
