* EarlyBirdCameo: If you fight Loewe with Kevin in your party in SC, after the battle concludes he will ask about a Gralsritter he once knew named Rufina Argent and questions Kevin if she is still well; Kevin is shocked for a moment before solemnly explaining that she had passed away, to which Loewe offers his condolences. Rufina is just a name at that point, but ''The 3rd'' fully introduces her (and provides a few more details under the circumstances under which she and Loewe crossed paths).

* TheAtoner: Cross apparently said some hurtful things to Renne before he died. Regretting this, he took control of Renne's body during ''Kuro II'''s Intermission in an attempt to protect her from anything that would hurt her.

* ImpersonationExclusiveCharacter: During ''Kuro II'', [[Characters/TrailsSeriesCalvardMiscellaneous Garden-Master]] is able to turn Swin to his side with the supposed reveal of being Ace, but that's eventually revealed to be a lie, as he's really "Auguste Ardent." The real Ace only briefly shows up after Auguste's defeat, with his spirit sending his regards to his former partner and younger sister.

* TheFaceless: We never actually get to see what his face looks like even during flashbacks that show him.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: In ''Azure'', details of the revolution are given that imply that the revolution was not as black and white as it might seem. According to Grace, the revolutionaries committed enough atrocities to fill an entire library. They were responsible for several assassinations, and supposedly were responsible for something similar to Dieter's FalseFlagOperation with the Red Constellation. However, because history is WrittenByTheWinners, Calvardians view these actions as justified. This is further complicated by the events of ''Kuro II'', where the BigBad turns out to be a former ally of hers that turned out to be way too extreme in his beliefs.

Cassius wife and Estelle's mother, she died during the Hundred Days War.

%%* BaritoneOfStrength: Creator/JunichiYanagita gives him a suitably low voice for a veteran OldSoldier in his brief speaking scenes.

* BattleCouple: Was this with Lianne during the War of the Lions until the latter's death and departure.

* FamousAncestor: To the current Imperial Family of Erebonia who are his direct descendants.

* GenerationXerox: Not him specifically, but his descendant Olivert ends up taking after Dreichels in a number of ways. Both are best friends with a Vander, have half-commoner blood running through their veins and thus considered unfit to inherit the throne, ended up travelling throughout the empire and beyond as result, yet still have strong sense of duty to their nation regardless.

* HeroicBastard: Was the born out of wedlock to a commoner mother, just like his descendant Olivert.

* MassiveNumberedSiblings: His father, Emperor Valius, was known to ReallyGetsAround with a large RoyalHarem. Only 5 of his brothers were named(Manfred who died shortly after their father, and the other 4 he fought in the war, Orthros, Gunnar, Albert and Lucius) though it's hinted he had many more.

* SignificantDoublesCasting: Flashbacks of him speaking has him with the same voice actors as Osborne who turns out to be his reincarnation.
