The leader of Torna. Wears a mask.
----
* BigBad: Appears to be this at first, as the leader of Torna, but [[spoiler:subverted. Malos is the true BigBad with him as TheDragon]].
* BroughtDownToBadass: Temporarily during his first boss fight where his power is {{Nerf}}ed, but he is still an incredibly powerful fighter Rex and the party can't even defeat. [[spoiler:At the end of chapter 7, his core gets damaged in his all-out fight with Rex and the fully awakened Aegis. For the rest of the game, he can barely stand, yet keeps on trucking, even offing one of the main story's more challenging boss fights.]]
* CoolMask: Wears one that covers a lot of his face. [[spoiler:It conceals the Core Crystal on his forehead]].
* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler:Indol destroying the Kingdom of Torna, which led to Jin's Driver dying in the attack. This drove Jin into consuming his Driver's heart, turning him into a Flesh Eater Blade, so he wouldn't revert back to a Core Crystal and lose all his memories and forget her.]]
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:One motivation he has for going to the Architect to kill him is to die, he just thinks the rest of humanity should go with him.]]
* DisappearsIntoLight: How he meets his end.
* TheDragon: To Malos, although officially, Malos is his second-in-command.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He still generally cared and loved his [[spoiler:old Driver Lora even after he joined Malos]], downright keeping her body safe in the ship. Albeit he claims keeping her body around is to remind him of his past foolishness for believing in the wisdom of the Architect, he is well aware Lora would not want him siding with Malos.
* ExactWords: In her dying moments, Lora laments that the thought of Jin forgetting her is too much to bear. To prevent this, Jin devoured her heart and continued to live on with his memories, despite losing his own will to live. Malos points out that those last words were a curse to him.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:In the Aegis War 500 years ago, he had fought on Mythra's side against Malos. He was considered to be kindest of them and was a pacifist who refused to fight unless necessary. Losing his Driver and forcing to live on by her wishes robbed Jin of a purpose until Malos gave him a new one.]]
* FlashStep: He uses this to kill Rex at the beginning of the story. He claims to be able to move at the speed of light.
* GuestStarPartyMember: For the first dungeon in the game. [[spoiler:He will also fight alongside Rex temporarily in the Land of Morytha until he has regrouped with everyone else.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Sacrifices himself to kill Amalthus]]
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Killed Rex who was later revived by Pyra and later killed Fan la Norne.]]
* AnIcePerson: [[spoiler:It's his element as a Blade, as seen whenever he fights with or against the party. In his true form, he frequently displays his control over elementals by conjuring ice. He freezes Amalthus to absolute zero [[RedemptionEqualsDeath at the cost of his life]].]]
* InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler:He was implied to be married with his previous Driver before becoming Lora's Blade in the Japanese version.]]
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Uses a katana in battle, but it doesn't look like a Blade... [[spoiler:This is because Jin himself is a Blade]].
* TheLeader: Even though Malos is higher than him in the power hierarchy, Jin is the leader of Torna as he is the tying the other members together. He rescued Mikhail when he was a war orphan and gave the unwanted Flesh Eaters, Akhos, Patroka, and Nia a home and a purpose. They all in turn all demonstrate [[UndyingLoyalty undying loyalty]] to him, with Nia remaining conflicted until the end.
* MartialPacifist: Was formerly one [[spoiler:back during the Aegis war, where he refused to participate in military exercises and took no enjoyment in fighting. When his driver Lora died he dropped his unwillingness to fight, determined now to exterminate humanity]].
* MercyKill:
** Viewed killing Rex at the beginning of the story as this.
** Does it again to [[spoiler:Fan la Norne]], seeking to [[IDieFree free her]] of her master.
* MythologyGag: Shares some traits with [[VideoGame/XenoSaga Jin Uzuki]] such as having the [[NamesTheSame same name]], uses the same type of [[KatanasAreJustBetter weapon]] and having the [[AnIcePerson same element]].
* NoSell:
** Mythra's Foresight allows Rex to see a bit into the future and predict all incoming attacks. Against a light-speed opponent such as Jin, it is useless as he still cannot physically defend against his attacks.
** His control over elementary ether particles makes all ether-based attacks useless, even the light beams from Siren.
* NotSoDifferent: Despite having been on different sides in the Aegis War, [[spoiler:he and Malos share a commonality in lacking a purpose due to Amalthus: Jin in losing Lora and Malos being corrupted by his hatred]].
* OneManArmy: Single-handedly takes down an Ardanian imperial warship. It is stated that even an army five thousand strong would be no match for him.
* OneWingedAngel: His true form bares his chest and gives him a set of wing-like appendages on his lower back. His physical abilities become significantly boosted, taking down the entire party in the blink of an eye and completely overwhelming Rex and Mythra.
* PurposefullyOverpowered: When he's a GuestStarPartyMember he's completely broken, most notably with his ability to pull off the entire Break/Topple/Launch/Smash combo by himself with ease.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Malos' red.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: In the beginning of the game, Pyra knows him and Malos from over five hundred years ago, but it wasn't really established how. [[spoiler:It is because Jin is a Flesh Eater Blade, allowing him to live on with his memories]].
* RestoredMyFaithInHumanity: Near the end of the game, Rex's optimism and drive to change the world for the better ultimately persuades Jin to [[RedemptionEqualsDeath sacrifice himself]] to save the party [[spoiler:from a rampaging Amalthus. Though as Rex and Pyra later point out to Malos, he never truly lost faith in humanity. He simply wanted to be by Malos's side]].
* SuperpowerLottery: One of the biggest winners in the game. [[spoiler:With his ability of particle manipulation he can move at the speed of light, NoSell any energy attack including the beams from Siren, and can freeze anything to absolute zero. He is so powerful that when he goes all out he easily overwhelms the party including Mythra. It isn't till Rex awakens the Third Blade that he fights an equal. Mitigated in that while he got the benefits that came with being a Flesh Eater (namely unique and extreme powers), said powers came with the cost of a slowly deteriorating body that after 500 years can't handle prolonged battle.]].
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Wasn't the case [[spoiler:over 500 years ago when he was a MartialPacifist. Even at the present time, he didn't fully give up on humanity, at least not until Rex helped him find an answer in the World Tree]].
* WorldsStrongestMan: It's astonishing to see a seemingly normal man display remarkable abilities, such as his [[FlashStep incredible speed]], without a Blade by his side. [[spoiler:It is because Jin is a Blade, and one of the strongest in existence, made even stronger as a successful Flesh Eater. He was called "The Strongest Man in Torna", meaning he was even stronger than Addam, the hero of Torna]].

-->Voiced by: Creator/YuuichiNakamura (Japanese), David Menkin (English)
Torna's second-in-command. Partnered with the blade Sever.
----
* AboveGoodAndEvil: [[spoiler:As an Aegis both him and Pyra are initially beyond both, being clean slates before being awakened. His current state is the product of Amalthus's influence]].
* AlmightyJanitor: He is initially billed as Jin's second-in-command and appears to be nothing more than a brutish subordinate. [[spoiler:Later it is revealed that he is actually the other Aegis and it is his will that Jin follows.]]
* {{BFS}}: After regaining his full power, he he replaces his Blade with [[spoiler:a black Monado, complete with Monado Arts and the glowing symbol]].
* BigBad: Shares this position with [[spoiler:his Driver, Amalthus, although he is by far the greater threat of the two]].
* BloodKnight: Has shades of this. When [[spoiler:Mythra breaks her seal]] he only grins and tells her "Welcome back!" while Akhos is panicking next to him.
* BookEnds: [[spoiler:He's the last boss of both the first and last chapters]].
* BroughtDownToBadass: 500 years ago he was a one-man army thanks to his destructive energy powers and the artifices he wielded as an Aegis. For most of the game he is still quite powerful but can only use a small portion of his Aegis powers, thanks to Mythra having severely damaged his Core Crystal at the end of the Aegis War. The fact that he was not only still alive but could still move and fight with his crystal in such a state is regarded as remarkable by other members of Torna, and possible only because he is an Aegis (indeed it doesn't seem to cause him pain or impair him in any way beyond not being able to use much of his true Aegis abilities). Once he regains his full power however, he becomes strong enough to singlehandedly subdue Artifice Ophion and is unfazed by Pyra/Mythra's ascended form (he opts to be a CombatPragmatist after seeing her and Rex beat Jin, using Ophion to avoid fighting Pneuma directly, and ending the confrontation by blowing up the battlefield and sending her falling into the Cloud Sea).
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:The Cain to Pyra's Abel, as both are Aegises created by the Architect (which, to drive the point home, both refer to as Father)]].
* CallBack: He is able to use [[spoiler:Monado Arts after restoring his full power, implying that he and the other Aegis Swords are actually Monados and that the missing third Aegis is Alvis]]. He also calls himself "the Endbringer" which was the Telethia's title in Xenoblade Chronicles X.
* DarkIsEvil: His primary element and the element of his attacks. Makes sense [[spoiler:being that he is the EvilCounterpart to the light using Mythra]].
* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler:He speaks one last time to Pneuma, free of all malice, postmortem while she herself prepares to die.]]
-->[[spoiler:''So tell me... How was it, being alive?'']]
* DeathSeeker: Malos's self-loathing quickly becomes evident during the final chapter of the story, hating the world itself due to influence from Amalthus and seeing the pain and misery running rampant in the world much in part caused by himself. To this end, Malos declares himself a monster and implores Rex to fight him with everything he has. Only in death is he able to make peace with himself, saying that his life wasn't that bad after all.
* DualBoss: With Akhos in their second encounter. Later with Jin in Malos fourth fight.
* TheDragon: He initially appears to be Jin's second-in-command. [[spoiler:Subverted as he is in charge of Jin and is the FinalBoss. He shares the BigBad.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite showing little empathy to the death of his comrades, it is clear that Malos cared about them, fondly recalling Akhos in regards to his own theatrics and giving Jin a warm final embrace before ascending to Elysium by himself. Prior to the final battle, he angrily cites Jin's entire life as evidence for the inherent evil of the world and bitterly calls himself a irredeemable monster for being a direct cause of those tragedies.
* EvilCounterpart: To [[spoiler:Pyra/Mythra as another Aegis. Whereas her Driver manages to help her grow beyond her suicidal desire, Malos continued to be affected for the worse by Amalthus egomania and hatred for life.]]
* EvilIsHammy: He's easily the second most hammy character after Zeke.
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"Heh, kids say the darndest things." in response to Rex wondering if Rex bonded with Malos's Core Crystal like he did with Pyra if they could have been friends]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Him preferring to let Jin take charge and make the actual decisions make perfect sense [[spoiler:once it is revealed that he is an AI. While he has a will of his own, he needs a "user" for the inputs. When he said that he exists for Jin's sake, he wasn't exaggerating; all of his actions are driven by the wills of Amalthus and Jin.]]
* GuestStarPartyMember: During the first dungeon in the story.
* HiddenDepths: He's introduced as being little more than Jin's brutish second-in-command. As early as the end of Chapter 1, it becomes clear that there's much, MUCH more to him than meets the eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He is disdainful towards everyone except Jin and the rest of Torna.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:He claims that him needing to MindRape Pyra to restore his core crystal was NothingPersonal but deliberately going out of his way to erase her memories of Rex despite her protests was unnecessarily cruel]].
* TheManInFrontOfTheMan: [[spoiler:Although Jin is initially presented as the leader of Torna, Malos is eventually revealed to be the one in charge, though he's content to let Jin make decisions or take point.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:His true name, "Logos", meaning among other things "Word of God" or "Reason" in Greek, relating to his desire of destroying the world since he believes that is what the Architect wants as well as corruption by his Driver. It also makes him the Mind of the Aegis trio, with Pneuma (Pyra/Mythra) being the Soul and the missing Ontos being the Body.]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Both of his names. "Metsu" means destruction in Japanese while "Malos" means bad in Latin.
* ObviouslyEvil: He's in all black armor, has a name derived from the word evil, and one of his first actions is attacking Rex for little reason.
* OmnicidalManiac: He wants [[spoiler:to use the Aion to destroy the world. It is later revealed that this is due to being influenced by the hatred of his Driver, Amalthus, and what he felt at the state of the world.]]
* PoisonousFriend: Is very much implied to [[spoiler:have stoked Jin's nihilism after Lorna died and gave him the idea to go to Elysium to exterminate humanity]].
* PurpleIsPowerful: It shows in his darkness and destructive attacks, although intermingled with [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack black]] most of the time. [[spoiler:It is also the color of his Core Crystal]].
* RecurringBoss: He is the most fought boss in the game [[spoiler:as well as the FinalBoss]].
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Jin's blue.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Not only is Malos a Blade, he's also an Aegis like Pyra created by the Architect]].
* ReverseGrip: Wields his Blade in this fashion. [[spoiler:Averted when he regains his Aegis sword]]
* SatanicArchetype: Self describes himself like one. [[spoiler:Feeling his purpose is to destroy everything the Architect created. Though in reality this thought process is due to corruption by Amalthus]].
* ShutUpKirk: In the Final Chapter [[spoiler:when Rex tries to bring up that the only reason Malos is so destructive is because of Amalthus he responds with "I don't give a rat's ass what you think, brat!" and begins going on how he in the end is an irredeemable monster]].
* SirSwearsALot: He is responsible for the most swearing in the game, and also the main villain. He's quite fond of PrecisionFStrike in particular.
* SphereOfDestruction: [[spoiler:This is his real power once he repairs his Core Crystal, being able to create dark spheres that completely destroy anything that comes in contact with them]].
* StatusBuff: Can give these to his fellow Torna members in addition to debuffs to the player's party.
* StrawNihilist: Just before the final battle, he outright admits to Rex that he sees the whole world as a wretched place and that he himself is a hideous abomination beyond saving, hence his wanting to destroy the world.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Takes up the villain role, in this case. He's certainly among the tallest of the main cast, wears black armor, and makes a lot of disdainful remarks and swears towards the heroes and sometimes on Torna.
* TragicMonster: [[spoiler:He was doomed to become a weapon of mass destruction from the start due to being influenced by Almathus's seething hatred. He even calls himself a hideous monster beyond redemption. This question of free will is a major part of his desire to confront the Architect.]]
* TrueCompanions: He is surprisingly considerate to the rest of Torna, besides defectors such as Nia. In particular, he shares a genuine mutual respect with Jin, with Malos even giving him a final brotherly embrace before ascending to Elysium. Prior to the final battle, he cites Jin's life as the reason for his actions instead of his Driver Amalthus, who is the actual source of his malevolence.
* VillainousBreakdown: Becomes increasingly more unhinged [[spoiler:in the final battle, where he drops any sense of calm he has and angrily shouts that he will burn the world unless if Rex stops him]].

Torna's brains. Partnered with the Blade Obrona.
----

* DualBoss: With Malos in their second encounter. Later joining his sister Patroka and Mikhail in his third fight.
* DualWielding: Uses two katanas together.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** He cares about Obrona, enough that he drops his usual arrogant act when she's killed by [[spoiler:Mythra]].
** He's also very close with his "sister" Patroka.
** He idolizes Jin and follows him [[spoiler:for saving him in the past]].
* EvilGenius: He is Torna's brains.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears glasses and has no problem trying to kill the heroes on multiple occasions, or [[spoiler:helping Jin and Malos in their plan to destroy Alrest.]]
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Uses two of them. Later switching to a bow after Obrona reverts to a core crystal.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Considers Patroka his sister. [[spoiler:Later revealed to be due to their Drivers being siblings, and those same siblings' cells being integrated into their bodies.]]
* MeaningfulName: His Japanese name refers to Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a famous nobleman and military commander of late Heian Era Japan. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], Minamoto no Yoshitsune is often depicted as a heroic figure, while this Yoshitsune is a villain.
* NotSoStoic:
** Despite his usual calm temperament, watching Obrona revert to a Core Crystal by Pyra [[spoiler:(as Mythra)]] causes him to freak out over her death. He regains his composure by the next time Rex and the party encounter him.
** He loses it again [[spoiler:when Amalthus kills Patroka and steals her Core Crystal. He [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge tries to fight back]], but ends up with the same fate]].
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:When Mythra awakens and begins raining Siren's lasers down on him and Malos he has this reaction.]]
-->'' "I... I don't think we can win this!"''
* PrimaDonnaDirector: He acts like a narcissistic playwright, throwing acting terms everywhere and throwing a fit whenever something "goes off-script".
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:He is a Flesh Eater Blade.]]
* ShockAndAwe: [[spoiler:His element as a Blade.]]
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: His weapon after losing Obrona.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Jin who he obeys without question. [[spoiler:Even his support of Torna's goal to destroy everything is because Jin wants it more than anything. Even as he dies as a result of Amalthus, his last thoughts are of when he first met Jin.]]

* DishingOutDirt: [[spoiler:Her element as a Blade.]]
* DualBoss: With Mikhail during their first encounter. Her second encounter includes him and Akhos.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Amalthus kills her from behind with one of his tentacles.]]
* MaskOfSanity: She initially appears stoic and taking her orders first and foremost compared to the jovial Mikhail. Once her Blade's Core Crystal gets destroyed, she quickly reveals herself to be NotSoStoic and attempts to [[KillThemAll destroy them all]] until Fan La Norne and Mikhail intervened. Her aggressive nature later makes it clear her professional initial appearance was just a front.
* MeaningfulName: "Benkai", her Japanese name, refers to UsefulNotes/MusashiboBenkei. While a GenderBlenderName due to Benkei being male, her Blade wields multiple weapons at once, which is what Benkei was known for.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:She is a Flesh Eater Blade.]]
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She is the only female member of Torna following Nia's defection early in the game.
* UndyingLoyalty: Not to the same extent as Akhos, but she's loyal to Jin as well. Though she will question and defy Jins orders unlike him.

-->Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeNamikawa (Japanese), Todd Kramer (English)
A Driver partnered with fellow Driver Patroka, the two overseeing the deal of artificial Blades sold between Bana and Torna.
----
* CasanovaWannabe: Tries flirting with Mythra and Mòrag in Chapter 6 and apparently does it frequently with Patroka. Naturally they all aggressively turn him down.
* CastingAShadow: [[spoiler:His element as a Blade]].
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Appears in a few of the flashbacks with Mythra and Addam as a child, as shown when he reveals himself to Amalthus as another Blade Eater.]]
* CombatHandFan: Wields them [[spoiler:as a Blade Eater]].
* DistractedByTheSexy: Finds Mythra beautiful when she uses her power to destroy his and Patroka's Blade Cores. And again with Mòrag when they clash at the end of Chapter 6 and he declares her to be quite a looker.
* DrawAggro: Effectively serves as the party tank in fights with multiple Torna members, even having an ability to force the player's party to constantly draw aggro to him.
* DualBoss: With Patroka during their first encounter. Then again in his second boss fight including her and Akhos.
* DualWield: Both his fist and fan weapons.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Kind of. During the flashback right after his boss battle, he is the little boy alongside the group during the training regimen. This is far before any of the Torna members have their backstories revealed.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He [[spoiler:makes no effort to cause collateral damage on Indol out of sympathy for the refugees (fitting, as he is one himself), and]] is utterly disgusted by [[spoiler:Amalthus starting his war for the World Tree without evacuating them first, though not disgusted enough to hold back in the fight]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: People paying even a little attention during his and Patroka's second appearance will be able to spot that [[spoiler:unlike Akhos and Patroka, his Core Crystal is a visibly untainted blue.]] This makes the later reveal that [[spoiler:he's not a Flesh Eater at all a lot more preditable; all Flesh Eaters have shades of red in their Core Crystals, but the only other Blade Eater seen before the reveal, Zeke, keeps Pandoria's crystal colour with no alteration.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Commits one so that Rex and the others can stop Jin.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He knows when to retreat, taking Patroka away while she seeks to rampage.
* PowerFist: His initial weapon when with his Blade.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:He is not a Flesh Eater like his fellow Tornans; he is the inverse, a Blade Eater, which makes him immune to Fan la Norne's power used by Amalthus. Being a Blade Eater has also allowed him to live for more than five hundred years while still looking quite young.]]
* TagAlongKid: It appears he used to be this to Addam's original group during the Aegis War 500 years ago after he was discovered by Jin.
* TokenGoodTeammate: To a certain extent. [[spoiler:He's the only member of Torna after Nia defects who isn't fully on-board with the plan to destroy ''everything'', and ends up making a HeroicSacrifice to take down the Titan Indol.]]
* TokenHuman: [[spoiler:He's the only member of Torna to have been born a human. Malos is an Aegis and pure Blade, while the other members, Nia included, are all Flesh Eaters who started as normal Blades. Mikhail is a Blade Eater like Zeke and Amalthus, both of whom are considered human.]]

-->Voiced by: Yuri Yamaoka (Japanese), Naomi [=McDonald=] (English)
Akhos's Blade, seems to have the ability to stagnate either flow, as well as the ability to locate other Blades' energy signals from several kilometers away.
----
* IntendedAudienceReaction: There's no way she wasn't made as irritating as she is on purpose. It makes it hard to sympathize with Akhos when [[spoiler:she's abruptly returned to her crystal and dies due to the damage to the crystal. Of course, that's the point - it distracts from asking why Akhos is so aghast a "mere" Blade was slain.]]
* PsychopathicWomanchild: Speaks in a high-pitched childish voice while sharing Akhos's sadistic tendencies, even repeating some last words he says.
* ShockAndAwe: Her Blade element is Electric.
* StoryBreakerPower: She can sense global Ether patterns, which amounts to giving Torna accurate tracking of ''every Driver and Blade in existence'', and can choke Blades of their Ether up close, crippling their effectiveness. [[spoiler:Is it any wonder she's out of the picture same chapter she debuts?]]
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Gets killed rather suddenly along with Malos' Blade Sever at the end of Chapter 3 by Mythra's powers piercing her Core Crystal]].

Malos's Blade, a wind-based Blade with an unorthodox shapeshifting weapon.
----
* BlowYouAway: His element is Wind.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Serves as Malos's Blade during Chapter 1.
* MorphWeapon: Sever's weapon takes several forms, inclusing a shield/knuckleduster hybrid, a straight-bladed longsword, and a reverse-grip blade that seems to be a mix of both.
* SatelliteCharacter: Mostly serves as a background character and lends Malos his weapon; aside from a few overworld lines (and a brief stint as an interactable NPC) he barely says anything.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:While he's in more cutscenes than Oborona is, he has only a tiny handful of lines before he's obliterated by Siren at the end of chapter 3]].

The leader of Torna. Wears a mask.
----
* BigBad: Appears to be this at first, as the leader of Torna, but [[spoiler:subverted. Malos is the true BigBad with him as TheDragon]].
* BroughtDownToBadass: Temporarily during his first boss fight where his power is {{Nerf}}ed, but he is still an incredibly powerful fighter Rex and the party can't even defeat. [[spoiler:At the end of chapter 7, his core gets damaged in his all-out fight with Rex and the fully awakened Aegis. For the rest of the game, he can barely stand, yet keeps on trucking, even offing one of the main story's more challenging boss fights.]]
* CoolMask: Wears one that covers a lot of his face. [[spoiler:It conceals the Core Crystal on his forehead]].
* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler:Indol destroying the Kingdom of Torna, which led to Jin's Driver dying in the attack. This drove Jin into consuming his Driver's heart, turning him into a Flesh Eater Blade, so he wouldn't revert back to a Core Crystal and lose all his memories and forget her.]]
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:One motivation he has for going to the Architect to kill him is to die, he just thinks the rest of humanity should go with him.]]
* DisappearsIntoLight: How he meets his end.
* TheDragon: To Malos, although officially, Malos is his second-in-command.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He still generally cared and loved his [[spoiler:old Driver Lora even after he joined Malos]], downright keeping her body safe in the ship. Albeit he claims keeping her body around is to remind him of his past foolishness for believing in the wisdom of the Architect, he is well aware Lora would not want him siding with Malos.
* ExactWords: In her dying moments, Lora laments that the thought of Jin forgetting her is too much to bear. To prevent this, Jin devoured her heart and continued to live on with his memories, despite losing his own will to live. Malos points out that those last words were a curse to him.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:In the Aegis War 500 years ago, he had fought on Mythra's side against Malos. He was considered to be kindest of them and was a pacifist who refused to fight unless necessary. Losing his Driver and forcing to live on by her wishes robbed Jin of a purpose until Malos gave him a new one.]]
* FlashStep: He uses this to kill Rex at the beginning of the story. He claims to be able to move at the speed of light.
* GuestStarPartyMember: For the first dungeon in the game. [[spoiler:He will also fight alongside Rex temporarily in the Land of Morytha until he has regrouped with everyone else.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Sacrifices himself to kill Amalthus]]
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Killed Rex who was later revived by Pyra and later killed Fan la Norne.]]
* AnIcePerson: [[spoiler:It's his element as a Blade, as seen whenever he fights with or against the party. In his true form, he frequently displays his control over elementals by conjuring ice. He freezes Amalthus to absolute zero [[RedemptionEqualsDeath at the cost of his life]].]]
* InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler:He was implied to be married with his previous Driver before becoming Lora's Blade in the Japanese version.]]
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Uses a katana in battle, but it doesn't look like a Blade... [[spoiler:This is because Jin himself is a Blade]].
* TheLeader: Even though Malos is higher than him in the power hierarchy, Jin is the leader of Torna as he is the tying the other members together. He rescued Mikhail when he was a war orphan and gave the unwanted Flesh Eaters, Akhos, Patroka, and Nia a home and a purpose. They all in turn all demonstrate [[UndyingLoyalty undying loyalty]] to him, with Nia remaining conflicted until the end.
* MartialPacifist: Was formerly one [[spoiler:back during the Aegis war, where he refused to participate in military exercises and took no enjoyment in fighting. When his driver Lora died he dropped his unwillingness to fight, determined now to exterminate humanity]].
* MercyKill:
** Viewed killing Rex at the beginning of the story as this.
** Does it again to [[spoiler:Fan la Norne]], seeking to [[IDieFree free her]] of her master.
* MythologyGag: Shares some traits with [[VideoGame/XenoSaga Jin Uzuki]] such as having the [[NamesTheSame same name]], uses the same type of [[KatanasAreJustBetter weapon]] and having the [[AnIcePerson same element]].
* NoSell:
** Mythra's Foresight allows Rex to see a bit into the future and predict all incoming attacks. Against a light-speed opponent such as Jin, it is useless as he still cannot physically defend against his attacks.
** His control over elementary ether particles makes all ether-based attacks useless, even the light beams from Siren.
* NotSoDifferent: Despite having been on different sides in the Aegis War, [[spoiler:he and Malos share a commonality in lacking a purpose due to Amalthus: Jin in losing Lora and Malos being corrupted by his hatred]].
* OneManArmy: Single-handedly takes down an Ardanian imperial warship. It is stated that even an army five thousand strong would be no match for him.
* OneWingedAngel: His true form bares his chest and gives him a set of wing-like appendages on his lower back. His physical abilities become significantly boosted, taking down the entire party in the blink of an eye and completely overwhelming Rex and Mythra.
* PurposefullyOverpowered: When he's a GuestStarPartyMember he's completely broken, most notably with his ability to pull off the entire Break/Topple/Launch/Smash combo by himself with ease.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Malos' red.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: In the beginning of the game, Pyra knows him and Malos from over five hundred years ago, but it wasn't really established how. [[spoiler:It is because Jin is a Flesh Eater Blade, allowing him to live on with his memories]].
* RestoredMyFaithInHumanity: Near the end of the game, Rex's optimism and drive to change the world for the better ultimately persuades Jin to [[RedemptionEqualsDeath sacrifice himself]] to save the party [[spoiler:from a rampaging Amalthus. Though as Rex and Pyra later point out to Malos, he never truly lost faith in humanity. He simply wanted to be by Malos's side]].
* SuperpowerLottery: One of the biggest winners in the game. [[spoiler:With his ability of particle manipulation he can move at the speed of light, NoSell any energy attack including the beams from Siren, and can freeze anything to absolute zero. He is so powerful that when he goes all out he easily overwhelms the party including Mythra. It isn't till Rex awakens the Third Blade that he fights an equal. Mitigated in that while he got the benefits that came with being a Flesh Eater (namely unique and extreme powers), said powers came with the cost of a slowly deteriorating body that after 500 years can't handle prolonged battle.]].
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Wasn't the case [[spoiler:over 500 years ago when he was a MartialPacifist. Even at the present time, he didn't fully give up on humanity, at least not until Rex helped him find an answer in the World Tree]].
* WorldsStrongestMan: It's astonishing to see a seemingly normal man display remarkable abilities, such as his [[FlashStep incredible speed]], without a Blade by his side. [[spoiler:It is because Jin is a Blade, and one of the strongest in existence, made even stronger as a successful Flesh Eater. He was called "The Strongest Man in Torna", meaning he was even stronger than Addam, the hero of Torna]].

[[quoteright:220:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vyzziua.png]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/YuuichiNakamura (Japanese), David Menkin (English)
Torna's second-in-command. Partnered with the blade Sever.
----
* AboveGoodAndEvil: [[spoiler:As an Aegis both him and Pyra are initially beyond both, being clean slates before being awakened. His current state is the product of Amalthus's influence]].
* AlmightyJanitor: He is initially billed as Jin's second-in-command and appears to be nothing more than a brutish subordinate. [[spoiler:Later it is revealed that he is actually the other Aegis and it is his will that Jin follows.]]
* {{BFS}}: After regaining his full power, he he replaces his Blade with [[spoiler:a black Monado, complete with Monado Arts and the glowing symbol]].
* BigBad: Shares this position with [[spoiler:his Driver, Amalthus, although he is by far the greater threat of the two]].
* BloodKnight: Has shades of this. When [[spoiler:Mythra breaks her seal]] he only grins and tells her "Welcome back!" while Akhos is panicking next to him.
* BookEnds: [[spoiler:He's the last boss of both the first and last chapters]].
* BroughtDownToBadass: 500 years ago he was a one-man army thanks to his destructive energy powers and the artifices he wielded as an Aegis. For most of the game he is still quite powerful but can only use a small portion of his Aegis powers, thanks to Mythra having severely damaged his Core Crystal at the end of the Aegis War. The fact that he was not only still alive but could still move and fight with his crystal in such a state is regarded as remarkable by other members of Torna, and possible only because he is an Aegis (indeed it doesn't seem to cause him pain or impair him in any way beyond not being able to use much of his true Aegis abilities). Once he regains his full power however, he becomes strong enough to singlehandedly subdue Artifice Ophion and is unfazed by Pyra/Mythra's ascended form (he opts to be a CombatPragmatist after seeing her and Rex beat Jin, using Ophion to avoid fighting Pneuma directly, and ending the confrontation by blowing up the battlefield and sending her falling into the Cloud Sea).
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:The Cain to Pyra's Abel, as both are Aegises created by the Architect (which, to drive the point home, both refer to as Father)]].
* CallBack: He is able to use [[spoiler:Monado Arts after restoring his full power, implying that he and the other Aegis Swords are actually Monados and that the missing third Aegis is Alvis]]. He also calls himself "the Endbringer" which was the Telethia's title in Xenoblade Chronicles X.
* DarkIsEvil: His primary element and the element of his attacks. Makes sense [[spoiler:being that he is the EvilCounterpart to the light using Mythra]].
* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler:He speaks one last time to Pneuma, free of all malice, postmortem while she herself prepares to die.]]
-->[[spoiler:''So tell me... How was it, being alive?'']]
* DeathSeeker: Malos's self-loathing quickly becomes evident during the final chapter of the story, hating the world itself due to influence from Amalthus and seeing the pain and misery running rampant in the world much in part caused by himself. To this end, Malos declares himself a monster and implores Rex to fight him with everything he has. Only in death is he able to make peace with himself, saying that his life wasn't that bad after all.
* DualBoss: With Akhos in their second encounter. Later with Jin in Malos fourth fight.
* TheDragon: He initially appears to be Jin's second-in-command. [[spoiler:Subverted as he is in charge of Jin and is the FinalBoss. He shares the BigBad.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite showing little empathy to the death of his comrades, it is clear that Malos cared about them, fondly recalling Akhos in regards to his own theatrics and giving Jin a warm final embrace before ascending to Elysium by himself. Prior to the final battle, he angrily cites Jin's entire life as evidence for the inherent evil of the world and bitterly calls himself a irredeemable monster for being a direct cause of those tragedies.
* EvilCounterpart: To [[spoiler:Pyra/Mythra as another Aegis. Whereas her Driver manages to help her grow beyond her suicidal desire, Malos continued to be affected for the worse by Amalthus egomania and hatred for life.]]
* EvilIsHammy: He's easily the second most hammy character after Zeke.
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"Heh, kids say the darndest things." in response to Rex wondering if Rex bonded with Malos's Core Crystal like he did with Pyra if they could have been friends]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Him preferring to let Jin take charge and make the actual decisions make perfect sense [[spoiler:once it is revealed that he is an AI. While he has a will of his own, he needs a "user" for the inputs. When he said that he exists for Jin's sake, he wasn't exaggerating; all of his actions are driven by the wills of Amalthus and Jin.]]
* GuestStarPartyMember: During the first dungeon in the story.
* HiddenDepths: He's introduced as being little more than Jin's brutish second-in-command. As early as the end of Chapter 1, it becomes clear that there's much, MUCH more to him than meets the eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He is disdainful towards everyone except Jin and the rest of Torna.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:He claims that him needing to MindRape Pyra to restore his core crystal was NothingPersonal but deliberately going out of his way to erase her memories of Rex despite her protests was unnecessarily cruel]].
* TheManInFrontOfTheMan: [[spoiler:Although Jin is initially presented as the leader of Torna, Malos is eventually revealed to be the one in charge, though he's content to let Jin make decisions or take point.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:His true name, "Logos", meaning among other things "Word of God" or "Reason" in Greek, relating to his desire of destroying the world since he believes that is what the Architect wants as well as corruption by his Driver. It also makes him the Mind of the Aegis trio, with Pneuma (Pyra/Mythra) being the Soul and the missing Ontos being the Body.]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Both of his names. "Metsu" means destruction in Japanese while "Malos" means bad in Latin.
* ObviouslyEvil: He's in all black armor, has a name derived from the word evil, and one of his first actions is attacking Rex for little reason.
* OmnicidalManiac: He wants [[spoiler:to use the Aion to destroy the world. It is later revealed that this is due to being influenced by the hatred of his Driver, Amalthus, and what he felt at the state of the world.]]
* PoisonousFriend: Is very much implied to [[spoiler:have stoked Jin's nihilism after Lorna died and gave him the idea to go to Elysium to exterminate humanity]].
* PurpleIsPowerful: It shows in his darkness and destructive attacks, although intermingled with [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack black]] most of the time. [[spoiler:It is also the color of his Core Crystal]].
* RecurringBoss: He is the most fought boss in the game [[spoiler:as well as the FinalBoss]].
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Jin's blue.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Not only is Malos a Blade, he's also an Aegis like Pyra created by the Architect]].
* ReverseGrip: Wields his Blade in this fashion. [[spoiler:Averted when he regains his Aegis sword]]
* SatanicArchetype: Self describes himself like one. [[spoiler:Feeling his purpose is to destroy everything the Architect created. Though in reality this thought process is due to corruption by Amalthus]].
* ShutUpKirk: In the Final Chapter [[spoiler:when Rex tries to bring up that the only reason Malos is so destructive is because of Amalthus he responds with "I don't give a rat's ass what you think, brat!" and begins going on how he in the end is an irredeemable monster]].
* SirSwearsALot: He is responsible for the most swearing in the game, and also the main villain. He's quite fond of PrecisionFStrike in particular.
* SphereOfDestruction: [[spoiler:This is his real power once he repairs his Core Crystal, being able to create dark spheres that completely destroy anything that comes in contact with them]].
* StatusBuff: Can give these to his fellow Torna members in addition to debuffs to the player's party.
* StrawNihilist: Just before the final battle, he outright admits to Rex that he sees the whole world as a wretched place and that he himself is a hideous abomination beyond saving, hence his wanting to destroy the world.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Takes up the villain role, in this case. He's certainly among the tallest of the main cast, wears black armor, and makes a lot of disdainful remarks and swears towards the heroes and sometimes on Torna.
* TragicMonster: [[spoiler:He was doomed to become a weapon of mass destruction from the start due to being influenced by Almathus's seething hatred. He even calls himself a hideous monster beyond redemption. This question of free will is a major part of his desire to confront the Architect.]]
* TrueCompanions: He is surprisingly considerate to the rest of Torna, besides defectors such as Nia. In particular, he shares a genuine mutual respect with Jin, with Malos even giving him a final brotherly embrace before ascending to Elysium. Prior to the final battle, he cites Jin's life as the reason for his actions instead of his Driver Amalthus, who is the actual source of his malevolence.
* VillainousBreakdown: Becomes increasingly more unhinged [[spoiler:in the final battle, where he drops any sense of calm he has and angrily shouts that he will burn the world unless if Rex stops him]].

[[folder:Akhos ''(Yoshisune)'']]
[[quoteright:220:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xc2_akhos.jpg]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/NobunagaShimazaki (Japanese), Hugo Harold-Harrison (English)
Torna's brains. Partnered with the Blade Obrona.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: Twice. First, when [[spoiler:Obrona is killed by her Core Crystal being pierced]]. Second when [[spoiler:his sister Patroka dies]].
* AttackReflector: Obrona allows him to reflect attacks by harnessing the ether in the air.
* DualBoss: With Malos in their second encounter. Later joining his sister Patroka and Mikhail in his third fight.
* DualWielding: Uses two katanas together.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** He cares about Obrona, enough that he drops his usual arrogant act when she's killed by [[spoiler:Mythra]].
** He's also very close with his "sister" Patroka.
** He idolizes Jin and follows him [[spoiler:for saving him in the past]].
* EvilGenius: He is Torna's brains.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears glasses and has no problem trying to kill the heroes on multiple occasions, or [[spoiler:helping Jin and Malos in their plan to destroy Alrest.]]
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Uses two of them. Later switching to a bow after Obrona reverts to a core crystal.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Considers Patroka his sister. [[spoiler:Later revealed to be due to their Drivers being siblings, and those same siblings' cells being integrated into their bodies.]]
* MeaningfulName: His Japanese name refers to Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a famous nobleman and military commander of late Heian Era Japan. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], Minamoto no Yoshitsune is often depicted as a heroic figure, while this Yoshitsune is a villain.
* NotSoStoic:
** Despite his usual calm temperament, watching Obrona revert to a Core Crystal by Pyra [[spoiler:(as Mythra)]] causes him to freak out over her death. He regains his composure by the next time Rex and the party encounter him.
** He loses it again [[spoiler:when Amalthus kills Patroka and steals her Core Crystal. He [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge tries to fight back]], but ends up with the same fate]].
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:When Mythra awakens and begins raining Siren's lasers down on him and Malos he has this reaction.]]
-->'' "I... I don't think we can win this!"''
* PrimaDonnaDirector: He acts like a narcissistic playwright, throwing acting terms everywhere and throwing a fit whenever something "goes off-script".
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:He is a Flesh Eater Blade.]]
* ShockAndAwe: [[spoiler:His element as a Blade.]]
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: His weapon after losing Obrona.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Jin who he obeys without question. [[spoiler:Even his support of Torna's goal to destroy everything is because Jin wants it more than anything. Even as he dies as a result of Amalthus, his last thoughts are of when he first met Jin.]]

[[folder:Patroka ''(Benkei)'']]
[[quoteright:220:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/do0ukgiuqaaswbn.jpg]]
-->Voiced by: Yuri Noguchi (Japanese), Laila Pyne (English)
A Driver partnered with fellow Driver Mikhail to oversee the manufacturing of artificial Blades by Bana.
----
* BladeOnAStick: Wields a pole arm [[spoiler:after losing Perdido.]]
* DarkActionGirl: Fights on the side of the antagonists and is very hotheaded and aggressive.
* DishingOutDirt: [[spoiler:Her element as a Blade.]]
* DualBoss: With Mikhail during their first encounter. Her second encounter includes him and Akhos.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Amalthus kills her from behind with one of his tentacles.]]
* MaskOfSanity: She initially appears stoic and taking her orders first and foremost compared to the jovial Mikhail. Once her Blade's Core Crystal gets destroyed, she quickly reveals herself to be NotSoStoic and attempts to [[KillThemAll destroy them all]] until Fan La Norne and Mikhail intervened. Her aggressive nature later makes it clear her professional initial appearance was just a front.
* MeaningfulName: "Benkai", her Japanese name, refers to UsefulNotes/MusashiboBenkei. While a GenderBlenderName due to Benkei being male, her Blade wields multiple weapons at once, which is what Benkei was known for.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:She is a Flesh Eater Blade.]]
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She is the only female member of Torna following Nia's defection early in the game.
* UndyingLoyalty: Not to the same extent as Akhos, but she's loyal to Jin as well. Though she will question and defy Jins orders unlike him.

[[quoteright:220:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nihby3k.png]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeNamikawa (Japanese), Todd Kramer (English)
A Driver partnered with fellow Driver Patroka, the two overseeing the deal of artificial Blades sold between Bana and Torna.
----
* CasanovaWannabe: Tries flirting with Mythra and Mòrag in Chapter 6 and apparently does it frequently with Patroka. Naturally they all aggressively turn him down.
* CastingAShadow: [[spoiler:His element as a Blade]].
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Appears in a few of the flashbacks with Mythra and Addam as a child, as shown when he reveals himself to Amalthus as another Blade Eater.]]
* CombatHandFan: Wields them [[spoiler:as a Blade Eater]].
* DistractedByTheSexy: Finds Mythra beautiful when she uses her power to destroy his and Patroka's Blade Cores. And again with Mòrag when they clash at the end of Chapter 6 and he declares her to be quite a looker.
* DrawAggro: Effectively serves as the party tank in fights with multiple Torna members, even having an ability to force the player's party to constantly draw aggro to him.
* DualBoss: With Patroka during their first encounter. Then again in his second boss fight including her and Akhos.
* DualWield: Both his fist and fan weapons.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Kind of. During the flashback right after his boss battle, he is the little boy alongside the group during the training regimen. This is far before any of the Torna members have their backstories revealed.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He [[spoiler:makes no effort to cause collateral damage on Indol out of sympathy for the refugees (fitting, as he is one himself), and]] is utterly disgusted by [[spoiler:Amalthus starting his war for the World Tree without evacuating them first, though not disgusted enough to hold back in the fight]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: People paying even a little attention during his and Patroka's second appearance will be able to spot that [[spoiler:unlike Akhos and Patroka, his Core Crystal is a visibly untainted blue.]] This makes the later reveal that [[spoiler:he's not a Flesh Eater at all a lot more preditable; all Flesh Eaters have shades of red in their Core Crystals, but the only other Blade Eater seen before the reveal, Zeke, keeps Pandoria's crystal colour with no alteration.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Commits one so that Rex and the others can stop Jin.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He knows when to retreat, taking Patroka away while she seeks to rampage.
* PowerFist: His initial weapon when with his Blade.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:He is not a Flesh Eater like his fellow Tornans; he is the inverse, a Blade Eater, which makes him immune to Fan la Norne's power used by Amalthus. Being a Blade Eater has also allowed him to live for more than five hundred years while still looking quite young.]]
* TagAlongKid: It appears he used to be this to Addam's original group during the Aegis War 500 years ago after he was discovered by Jin.
* TokenGoodTeammate: To a certain extent. [[spoiler:He's the only member of Torna after Nia defects who isn't fully on-board with the plan to destroy ''everything'', and ends up making a HeroicSacrifice to take down the Titan Indol.]]
* TokenHuman: [[spoiler:He's the only member of Torna to have been born a human. Malos is an Aegis and pure Blade, while the other members, Nia included, are all Flesh Eaters who started as normal Blades. Mikhail is a Blade Eater like Zeke and Amalthus, both of whom are considered human.]]
* WarRefugees: [[spoiler:Originally a human survivor of the destruction of Torna 500 years ago after Amalthus's armies destroyed the country.]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7lngm7t.jpg]]
-->Voiced by: Yuri Yamaoka (Japanese), Naomi [=McDonald=] (English)
Akhos's Blade, seems to have the ability to stagnate either flow, as well as the ability to locate other Blades' energy signals from several kilometers away.
----
* IntendedAudienceReaction: There's no way she wasn't made as irritating as she is on purpose. It makes it hard to sympathize with Akhos when [[spoiler:she's abruptly returned to her crystal and dies due to the damage to the crystal. Of course, that's the point - it distracts from asking why Akhos is so aghast a "mere" Blade was slain.]]
* PsychopathicWomanchild: Speaks in a high-pitched childish voice while sharing Akhos's sadistic tendencies, even repeating some last words he says.
* ShockAndAwe: Her Blade element is Electric.
* StoryBreakerPower: She can sense global Ether patterns, which amounts to giving Torna accurate tracking of ''every Driver and Blade in existence'', and can choke Blades of their Ether up close, crippling their effectiveness. [[spoiler:Is it any wonder she's out of the picture same chapter she debuts?]]
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Gets killed rather suddenly along with Malos' Blade Sever at the end of Chapter 3 by Mythra's powers piercing her Core Crystal]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sever]]
-->Voiced by: Anri Katsu (Japanese), Eric Meyers (English)
Malos's Blade, a wind-based Blade with an unorthodox shapeshifting weapon.
----
* BlowYouAway: His element is Wind.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Serves as Malos's Blade during Chapter 1.
* MorphWeapon: Sever's weapon takes several forms, inclusing a shield/knuckleduster hybrid, a straight-bladed longsword, and a reverse-grip blade that seems to be a mix of both.
* SatelliteCharacter: Mostly serves as a background character and lends Malos his weapon; aside from a few overworld lines (and a brief stint as an interactable NPC) he barely says anything.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:While he's in more cutscenes than Oborona is, he has only a tiny handful of lines before he's obliterated by Siren at the end of chapter 3]].
