* LimitBreak: [[spoiler:As a boss in ''The 3rd'', his S-Craft is "Esmelas Hearts."]]

* LimitBreak: As a boss in ''The 3rd'', his S-Craft is "Phoenix Wave."

* ChildhoodFriend: To Phillip. It's even implied they may have been romantically involved at one point.

* ChildhoodFriend: To Hilda.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Immensely so. In SC, in particular, she helps the party multiple times, supports their efforts wherever possible, [[spoiler:and even pardons Joshua's crimes]].

* CharacterDevelopment: Goes from RoyalBrat to a responsible member of the royal family in SC.

* HeelRealization: Goes through one halfway through SC. He's much better behaved afterwards.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Though he's predictably less than polite about it, he's not entirely wrong when he says early in SC that [[spoiler:Kloe]] does not currently have quite the demeanor, presence, or will to govern required of a monarch.
* PetTheDog: Possibly. In FC, he's among those who donated to the reconstruction of Mercia Orphanage, though his reasons are unknown.
* PuppetKing: [[spoiler:What Richard intended for him to become in FC, a figurehead ruler who would appear in the public eye while Richard and the Intelligence Division ruled from the shadows. Thanks to Estelle and co, this plan falls through.]]

* StrawMisogynist: Near the end of FC, he goes on an insulting spiel about women. Unfortunately for [[TooDumbToLive him]], he says this in front of the current party, which is made up entirely of women..

* BattleButler: [[spoiler: Doesn't look the part, but it's true. You can see what he's capable of in The 3rd.]]

* DeusExitMachina: Ouroboros caused an international incident for the sole purpose of removing Cassius from Liberl because [[MemeticBadass just like everyone else in universe]] they believed that if he was present, he could have singlehandedly thwarted their plans. In SC he does this to himself, as part of an elaborate BatmanGambit to trick Weissmann (knowing he would fixate on him) and allow everyone else to take him out

** He's viewed as having this in-universe to the point that large chunks of the plot of the first two games revolve around the villains keeping him either too busy or ''in another country'' so he can't interfere with their plans, a fact which he exploits in SC.

* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler:In spite of being the antagonist of FC, his polite demeanor and love for his country is genuine. By the time of ''SC'' and ''3rd'', he drops the "evil" part altogether.]]

* PrivateInvestigator: [[spoiler:Star Door 12 shows that after the events in SC, he becomes one when he creates the R&A Research Agency with Kanone.]]

[[quoteright:300:[[labelnote:Kanone as a civilian, depicted in ''Trails at Dawn'']] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kanone_amalthea_s_craft_akatsuki.png [[/labelnote]]]]

* ColonelBadass: He's been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel by the time SC starts. The badass part comes into play during his battle [[spoiler:and when he helps to free the queen and princess from the Enforcer's clutches]].

* BadHabits: [[spoiler:Disguises herself as a nun in FC, and again during one of the Star Door memories in The 3rd.]]

* GuestStarPartyMember: She's originally playable for one boss fight in SC, though later releases also added a method of recruiting her [[EleventhHourRanger for the final dungeon]]. She becomes a full-time party member in The 3rd.

* TheRival: To Captain Amalthea, apparently. In an optional conversation in SC, Julia says that their old rivalry helped shape them both and become stronger, and laments how far Kanone has fallen.

** [[spoiler:The appearance of Reverse Babel is enough warrant him bringing the Arseille II to break through its defences so that it can carry the protagonists close enough to enter the place.]]

[[folder:Cassius Bright]]

* BadassTeacher: Along with training his children how to fight, he taught and mentored many others in his time in the army and as a bracer, such as Alan Richard, Maximilian Cid, Julia Schwarz, and Scheherazard.* BewareTheNiceOnes[=/=]BewareTheSillyOnes: He's one of the most famous Bracers/officers in the ''Trails'' universe and a jovial father who wouldn't be out of place in a family sitcom, which is why Estelle initially had a hard time believing his MemeticBadass status.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the OneManArmy, MemeticBadass, and RetiredBadass. Cassius almost single-handedly saved Liberl from Erebonia's invasion in the 100 Days War, and his achievements as a Bracer are so great he's treated like an in-universe GodModeSue and contender for the WorldsStrongestMan. The main plot of the first Sky game hinges on one question: ''what happens when someone like that retires?'' In short, his former protege, Alan Richard, who saw Cassius as the one thing holding the country together and a deterrent in human form, felt Liberl was utterly defensless against foreign powers when he left the army. So he became a WellIntentionedExtremist, starting a coup d'etat and making deals with a shady secret society to obtain a piece of the Liber Ark. When Cassius returns, he literally beats it into his former student that, for all his abilities and achievements, he's ''just one man'', and treating him like the one thing that held the army together is incredibly dangerous for the country's future. [[spoiler: Which proves true in ''Cold Steel IV'' where Liberl is overrun by Imperial Troops during Operation Jormungandr, which was overturned, not by him alone, but via Mille Mirage, which was a joint counter-operation made via the cooperation of numerous countries.]]
