23	%%* BrokenAce

36	* LightningBruiser: The best of the 3 Flame Champion candidates in overall stats, and the one best suited mechanically to using the True Fire Rune with his B+ in Fire Magic, compared to Hugo's B and Chris's C. Bonus points for wielding the True Lightning Rune by default, as well.

101	* AutomaticCrossbow: His weapon.
102	* TheBigGuy: In terms of combat capability, rather than actual size.
103	%%* BunnyEarsLawyer
104	%%* CloudCuckooLander
105	* DeadpanSnarker: Believe it or not. He tells at least two jokes without skipping a beat, and both are surprisingly funny.
106	* FriendlySniper: At first glance seems more the [[ColdSniper cold]] variety, but proves himself to be surprisingly friendly, with a deadpan sense of humor.
107	* ImprobableAimingSkills: Justified stats-wise, thanks to his S-rank in accuracy.

109	%%* TheQuietOne

138
139	* ActionFashionista: Is a fighter and is interested in fashion.
140	* ArtificialLimbs: Implied. Elaine seems to have a mechanical left arm, but it may be only a metal gauntlet. The game made no mentions about it.
141	* ElementalPowers: Has a [[PlayingWithFire Fire Rune]] and a [[MakingASplash Water one]].
142	* GirlyBruiser: Elaine is vain and very competitive with the others females (particularly Queen and Jeane), but is also a competent fighter.
143	* HeadTurningBeauty: As far as Ace is concerned. Elaine's suggestion box entry also states that she receives many love letters, but isn't interested.
144	* LadyInRed: Elaine wears a red shirt with an ImpossiblyLowNeckline and is TheTease.
145	* MsFanservice: Due to her clothes ImpossiblyLowNeckline.

171	* BerserkButton: Insulting Duke triggers him.
172	* EyePatchOfPower: Has an eye patch.
173	* HandicappedBadass: Is missing an eye and a tail. The latter was cut off due to his own SadisticChoice.

186	[[caption-width-right:136:Tensoku Star]]
187
188	* AmazonChaser: He explains his relentless flirting with Chis as her LadyOfWar nature reminding him of his equally tough wife.
189	* HeroOfAnotherStory: Nash is the protagonist of the ''Suikogaiden'' duology. It showed that he participated behind the scenes in various events of ''VideoGame/SuikodenII''.
190	* ImpliedLoveInterest: His wife who he constantly mentions is implied to be the [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld thousand year old]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] Sierra Mikain. And given that he looks like he hasn't aged a day in the 15 years between the games, many fans have speculated that she turned him into a vampire.
191	* MakingASplash: In Suikoden III, Nash has a Water Rune attached.
192	* NothingUpMySleeve: And he has some sort of knife-launcher for them hidden up his sleeve.

202	* DiscountCard: Has the Discount Ability, which lowers the price of various goods and services.
203	* GagNose: Jefferson even names him "big nose prize!"

210	[[caption-width-right:100:Tenrou Star]]
211
212	* CombinationAttack: Franz can perform the "Adonis (Pretty Boy) attack" with Fred and Futch.
213	* TheNeidermeyer: His status as TheQuisling earned him the ire of his subordinates along with most of the residents of Le Beque.
214	* TheQuisling: A rare sympathetic example; third class citizens are litle more than slaves. He sees promotion to second class (which would allow them to be more akin to a self-governing but subordinate kingdom under Harmonia) as the most realistic way to help his fellows.
215	* ShockAndAwe: Has a Lightning Rune attached.
216	%%* TallDarkAndHandsome

245	For Yuber, see Characters/SuikodenRecurringCharacters.
246	[[folder:In General]]
247	* DishingOutDirt: They steal the True Earth Rune from Sasarai and use its power to extract Chris and Geddoe's True Runes.
248	* HopelessBossFight: You are supposed to lose every fight against them during the first three chapters. That said, only the duel between Hugo and Yuber is unwinnable; the others can be won by either level grinding, having a good strategy, or just by luck.
249	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Sarah and Yuber cannot get along. Justified as Sarah is a AntiVillain with [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards]] and is loyal to Luc, while Yuber is a PsychoForHire BloodKnight.
250	* VillainEpisode: After beating the game with every Star Of Destiny recruited, an extra Chapter, starring them is unlocked.

259	[[caption-width-right:216:Chizen Star]]
260
261	* AntiVillain: Types II and III, with a dash of IV.
262	* ApologeticAttacker: She makes it crystal clear that she takes no pleasure in the sheer body count she racks up in Luc'a name.
263	* ChildMage [[ChildProdigy Prodigy]]: She was born with a Flowing Rune attached to her head, and she became fluent in Sindar at a young age. She was imprisoned as a little girl for being a witch as a result.
264	* CombatMedic: She has a Flowing Rune, meaning she can both heal her party and nuke yours with little effort.
265	* DarkActionGirl: Just as capable of kicking ass as [[spoiler:Luc]] or Yuber. Her magic power was ''the'' key to the Destroyers' plan.
266	%%* TheDragon: To Luc.
267	* EmotionlessGirl: Her expression rarely changes, even in combat. [[spoiler:Unless it involves her feelings for Luc, that is.]]
268	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Played with. She does what she can to keep casualties to a minimum, but if Luc gives her an order, she follows it without question.
269	* HealingHands: Sarah can heal her allies with the Flowing Rune, and given her own affinity with magic, it's not a bad idea to ShootTheMedicFirst whenever she's on the battlefield. Hopefully before [[LightningBruiser Yuber]] or [[GlassCannon Luc]] nukes the party.
270	* LadyOfBlackMagic: A reserved and emotionless Chizen Star who has powerful Runes.
271	* LoveMakesYouEvil: Kind of. She takes no pleasure in her actions and even demonstrates remorse on occasion, but her utter devotion to [[spoiler:Luc]] overrides her conscience every single time.
272	* LoveMartyr: Luc is by no means abusive towards her in any way, but she is pretty much incapable of saying no to him. She might not like it, but she will kill untold amounts of people, plunge the entire world into war, and be complicit in a plan that would kill '''billions''' including possibly '''God''' by destroying a True Rune, basically because Luc told her to. She willingly pushes herself to the point of exhaustion for him.
273	* MadwomanInTheAttic: Due to her unique powers, Sarah was imprisoned within the Circle Palace.
274	* MagicStaff: Wields one in battle.
275	* MakingASplash: Sarah possessed a Flowing Rune, (a powered-up version of the Water Rune) from birth.
276	* MasterOfIllusion: One of her major powers, and the key to Luc's EvilPlan. He basically used this in combination with his own SummonMagic to start a series of false flag attacks, throwing the Grasslands into war for the first phase of his plan.
277	* MayflyDecemberRomance: Luc is only 30, but he still has the True Wind Rune.
278	* MyMasterRightOrWrong: She willingly commits utter atrocities for no other reason than because Luc wanted it, despite holding no illusions that they aren't immoral. She's ''that'' loyal to (and in love with) him.
279	* PlayingWithFire: Sarah also has a Rage Rune, in addiction to her Flowing Rune.
280	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: She goes to Luc's side in the epilogue to be TogetherInDeath with him, both out of one last expression of love, and to take responsibility for her crimes.
281	* RescueRomance: Her relationship with Luc.
282	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female member of the Destroyers.
283	* SquishyWizard: A [[GlassCannon Chizen star]], no less.
284	* SubordinateExcuse: An odd case. She's not JustFollowingOrders; her loyalty to Luc is coupled with a love for him that is so strong that it overrides her conscience.
285	* SummonMagic: She can summon many creatures from the World of Emptiness (like squeletors and dragons) to serve as their army.
286	* TogetherInDeath: With Luc.
287	* UndyingLoyalty: To Luc. She will do ''anything'' for him. Unfortunately for the [[DoomedHometown Karaya Clan]], we do mean ''anything''.
288	* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: In Luc's storyline, she stands up to Yuber, basically saying [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu she'll put him down herself]] if he even thinks about turning on Luc. Thankfully, Luc was able to calm them both down.
289	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Branded a witch as a little girl for her freakishly powerful magic and sheer intellect, only to be rescued by Leknaat's disciple. As her power grew, so too did her love for Luc. In time, she became capable of summoning and controlling entire armies of illusions and demons, which she used to commit acts that can only be described as war crimes, all because it was what her savior, and the man she loved, desired. In the end, she joins him TogetherInDeath, saying she would have done it all again, because [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe Luc made her happy]].

301	%%* EvilRedhead
302	* ItRunsInTheFamily: He is a renowed strategist, like any other member of the Silverberg family.
303	* KarmaHoudini: Plays a key role in orchestrating the whole war, in which many thousands die, and gets ''everything'' he wants out of it while suffering no negative consequences whatsoever.
304	** Subverted in the manga adaptation, where instead his reputation is ruined and he has to go into hiding under an assumed name. In this adaptation, Caesar concludes that Albert's intention all along was to minimize the casualties of Luc's scheme, and Albert confirms this.
305	* LightIsNotGood: Wears a white BadassLongcoat and is one of the villains.
306	* ManipulativeBastard: He had no loyalty whatsoever to Luc. In fact, he just wanted to take part in the war to make a name for himself.
