* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:Toal knows [[IveComeTooFar there's no coming back]] from all the demonic power he received and absorbed, so his endgame plan hinges on destroying the Black Pearl by having all of the Demonic Essence go into his own body, knowing full well that it'll kill him, [[TakingYouWithMe which will also destroy the Demonic Essence]]. This is a plan Reah ''heavily objects to''.]]


Added DiffLines:

* IveComeTooFar: [[spoiler:Toal constantly tries to convince himself that there's no turning back from becoming one of the Darklings and having a piece of Demonic Essence on his own body, even though his former friends insist that he's still the same Toal that fought by their side. This mentality crumbles once Reah gets to him and convinces him that there is a way to stop the madness around him.]]

* CryIntoChest: [[spoiler:At the end of Toal's route, once she discovers what happened to the Goddesses as she arrives only after everything is been dealt with.]]



* CruelMercy: [[spoiler:On the receiving end: his father Cain eventually throws on Toal's face that the only reason he even survived the demon onslaught in the first place is because Dalles had strict orders to keep him alive so he could be experimented on.]]



* HeroicRRoD: [[spoiler:The brunt of injuries Toal sustains over the course of the last fights causes him to break down once he's dealt with his father. [[BatmanGambit Reah counted on this happening as this also means Toal won't be able to stop her and Feena from sealing the Black Pearl]].]]



* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:Past halfway through the game, Toal's emotional shell starts to crack, starting from when he meets Reah again at the Silent Sands. By the time Toal is about to fight Dalles, he's taken his share of emotional abuse, both from himself and from the events around him, and he's pretty much screaming at his opponent.]]



The leader of the Six Priests who govern the mythical kingdom of Ys along with the Twin Goddesses. When the Goddesses go missing, he sends down the search party to the surface to look for them. [[spoiler:He is secretly responsible for every calamity that befell in Ys. In order to gain the power of the black pearl for himself, he allowed the Clan of Darkness and demons to invade Ys, causing the continent of Ys to float. At the end of Toal's route, he shows up and finishes Dalles off, revealing his true colors in the process. He then proceeds to fuse with the black pearl and become the demon king Darm. Nonetheless, he is defeated by his son Toal and gets sealed by the Twin Goddesses. The seal gets broken again 700 years later, but this time, he is defeated for good by Adol]].

A mysterious white-haired man who has joined the Darklings in pursuit of the Twin Goddesses and the Black Pearl.

A mysterious white-haired man who has joined the Darklings in pursuit of the Twin Goddesses and the Black Pearl. [[spoiler:His true identity is that of Toal Fact, a former Holy Knight of Ys and Hugo's brother. After being captured by the Darklings, Dalles offered him a DealWithTheDevil and he accepted, with the promise that Ys would be let go if he managed to capture the Goddesses for him. And even then, there's far more to Toal's mission than meets the eye...]]

The Claw is stated to be a "berserker", with a combat system more advanced than Yunica's, and meant for expert players used to avoiding damage. While his damage potential is very high thanks to his combos, his defense suffers as a result, making him a FragileSpeedster. His weapon of preference is, obviously, [[WolverineClaws a pair of claws]].



* BadLiar: [[spoiler:His attempts at becoming a FakeDefector don't fool the Darklings, since he keeps sparing enemies and showing concern for the goddesses. After a few encounters, the search party also figures out that he hasn't really changed from his old self]].
* BadPowersGoodPeople: [[spoiler:He relies on demonic power to fight, but he still is mostly a good person who is forced to do bad things in order to infiltrate the bad guys]].

* FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler:He fights Galleon and Shion as bosses, both of whom were his friends in flashbacks]].
* FragileSpeedster: Combined with GlassCannon due to the high single-target DPS of his normal attack. [[spoiler: He is this until late in his route when he becomes a LightningBruiser. While he technically has the same defense growth as the other two while being much faster, his lack of long-range attacks and his less offensively powerful wind magic means he has a harder time surviving mobs of enemies compared to Hugo and Yunica.

* GreaterScopeParagon: [[spoiler:He becomes the leader of the Six Priests of Ys in his father's place at the end of ''Origin'', writes the Book of Fact, and leaves his Cleria Sword with the southeast Roda Tree on Esteria in preparation for the Black Pearl's return]].

* HeroicWillpower: [[spoiler:Unlike Hugo, he is able to keep the demonic essence in check through sheer willpower]].

* LightningBruiser: [[spoiler:He becomes this once he levels up enough. He can start taking many hits once he levels up enough, and he keeps the speed he needed to dodge enemy attacks from when he could not take many hits. His Inferno fire magic has invincibility frames while allowing him to perform aerial movement with more precision than Godspeed, increasing his survivability once he gets that magic]].

A rather biased depiction of the greatsword.


* JackOfAllStats: He is this in ''Ys SEVEN'' when wielding a slashing weapon. In general, in the later games with multiple characters, Adol typically has well-rounded stats with a balanced moveset.
* JokeCharacter: Adol turns into this when wielding a striking weapon like a greatsword in ''SEVEN'' as his attacks become really slow, and the strength boost his striking weapon gives him is not enough to really make him an effective striking-attribute character because most the other party members who use striking weapons are much stronger and tougher than him. The only reason to have Adol wield these weapons is to learn skills that they can teach Adol.

Basically stated more or less to be the reason by Kondo himself.


* CelibateHero: A subdued take on this, as it's not at all that Adol actively opposes or rejects anyone's advances, he just has other things going on and follows the call of adventure first and foremost. Some supplementary works could even make this a SubvertedTrope, implying returned feelings for the likes of Feena.

WordOfGod actually seems to confirm this and suggests Feena played a major role in his lack of romance after her.

* IncompletelyTrained: He received some rudimentary swordsplay learning from his amateur-adventurer father, but beyond that, developed his skill with a blade over his years of adventure, eventually becoming a renown MasterSwordsman, so much so that ''other'' master swordsmen can tell his ability at a glance.

Added DiffLines:

* TaughtByExperience: He didn't start off as the infamous MasterSwordsman he became; his father spent his childhood and adolescence teaching him the fundamentals before he went off into the world, but he received no particularly special training. Once he began his life of adventure, Adol simply honed his skills by pitting himself against increasingly trickier and more dangerous foes to become as good as he is. Tellingly, he has nothing resembling real-world swordsplay as opposed to many of his party members, but what he does have is undeniably balanced and versatile.
