* WhyWontYouDie: This is what Rean screams when he finds him alive in ''Cold Steel II''.

* WorldsStrongestMan: [[spoiler:He's so powerful, he makes ''[[PhysicalGod Arianrhod]]'' look like a chump by comparison. And this is with him ''deliberately trying to lose''. Imagine if he decided to go all out instead.]]

* HijackedByGanon: [[spoiler:He manages to hijack the Phantasmal Blaze Plan at the end of ''Cold Steel II'', which by that point, was being carefully orchestrated by the nigh-unstoppable Ouroboros. The fact that he manages to give even Ouroboros something to fear is enough to make even its strongest members not underestimate him as just another UnwittingPawn in their schemes]].

* [[Characters/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteelThorsSecondBranchSchool Thors Second Branch School]]

* AdultFear: [[spoiler:Learns that a group of officers are about to plan a pointless war against Liberl who in response, send a jroup of Jaegers to attack his home, resulting in the death of his wife and his son mortally wounded, and the only way to save his son was to make a DealWithTheDevil.]]

* DiedHappilyEverAfter: [[spoiler:Ends up talking with Rean one last time in the boundary between life and death then walks away with a smile on his face, accompanied by both Rutger and Arianrhod who also have smiles on their faces.]]

** By ''Cold Steel IV'', he sees [[spoiler:Musse as this, [[JustForPun while musing]] that she was a better opponent to deal with than Olivert]] according to one of the screenshots of the game.

* VillainHasAPoint: Despite being perfectly willing to ally himself with Ouroboros, he does have a very strong case against Erebonia's ruling nobles, who are trying to hold on to all the power while the common people are in much the same circumstances as they've been in for centuries when every ''other'' nation on the continent is seeing a massive movement toward more significant wealth and quality-of-life equality, which does not escape the notice of the common people of the Empire. Most of his reforms are aimed at improving conditions for the bulk of Erebonia's population. He's just not too concerned if a few citizens get harmed along the way, or about the people whose countries get taken over. [[spoiler:Enough that in the epilogue of ''Cold Steel IV'', Jurai ''doesn't'' want to leave from the Erebonian empire after being with them for ten long years and wants to remain as a Special Economic Zone. This is despite the fact that Crossbell ended up being free from Erebonian rule (though it was less of liberation and more of "giving it up willingly".]]

The leading figure in the movement to reform the Erebonian Empire's feudal power structure. Once a general in the Imperial army, it was thanks to his actions in hunting down those responsible for the Hamel Incident and brokering a ceasefire agreement between Erebonia and Liberl that resulted in the Hundred Days War coming to a close. As a reward for his actions, Emperor Eugent III granted him his now current title as High Chancellor of Erebonia. Becoming the first commoner in history to ever achieve the title.

* BadassArmy: As revealed in ''The Third'', he has control over seventy percent of the Imperial Army though according to him, that's not a lot when he factors in what the Noble Alliance has. [[spoiler:By ''Cold Steel IV'', he has the biggest army in the entire Western Zemuria region and manages to nearly ''curb stomp'' Liberl, Calvard, and Remiferia with even more volunteers from the bracer guild, the papal guard, ''and Zeit'' joining in for the defense. The only reason why Erebonia "lost" was only because Osborne dies and the curse of Erebonia is gone which wakes people up from their blood lust, the emperor revealing himself to be alive to the public and making a statement where he claims that Calvard wasn't the perpetrator for his attempted assassination, and Karl who gets promoted to Chancellor, orders the army to retreat.]]

* FourStarBadass: Was a Brigadier General in the Imperial Army prior to becoming Chancellor. And the last gmes show that he most definitely iis Badass.

* MasterSwordsman: He's a master of the Hundred Swords Style used by the military, which incorporates attributes from the Vander and Arseid styles among others.

---->'''Osborne''': [[spoiler:Heed my call, [[HumongousMecha Ishmelga.]]]]

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For one, he still loves and is proud of Rean despite the two opposing each other.

* MasterSwordsman: He's a master of the Hundred Swords Style used by the military.

* [[Characters/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteelReanSchwarzer Rean Schwarzer]]

* JerkassFacade: [[spoiler:His entire image of being a ruthless expansionist warmonger is all a facade in order to ensure that Ishmelga doesn't catch on to its lack of complete control over Osborne.]]

* VillainHasAPoint: Despite being perfectly willing to ally himself with Ouroboros, he does have a very strong case against Erebonia's ruling nobles, who are trying to hold on to all the power while the common people are in much the same circumstances as they've been in for centuries when every ''other'' nation on the continent is seeing a massive movement toward more significant wealth and quality-of-life equality, which does not escape the notice of the common people of the Empire.

* ActionDad: When he finally steps into the spotlight, it turns out that yes, he can kick ass just like almost the rest of the fathers in this series.

* AFatherToHisMen: Zigzagged as while he treats all of his subordinates fairly, [[spoiler:he also has no problems killing off Altina to get the sword that can kill the Nameless One. He however does show concern when Millium was the one who died instead. It should also be noted that his actual son despises him.]]

* {{Foil}}: Serves as one to Cassius Bright. Both men are quite similar to one another in a number of things such as their backgrounds wherein as both being decorated military officers who were well respected by their peers until they retired (Though Cassius does come back) and being highly competent individuals. However, the similarities end there as both men couldn't be any more different than each other if they tried, such as their relationships with their children who are both protagonists of their respective series. Estelle gets along with her father whereas Rean could care less about Osborne thanks to his actions.

* MayDecemberRomance: [[spoiler:His wife Kasia was 10 years his junior and he was actually shy about confessing his feelings to her till Vandyck decided to help get them together.]]

* BringIt: [[spoiler:During his boss fight, he taunts the three teams to bring it on when they start swapping from one team to another, claiming that whatever they're doing to him is nothing.
