6!The Zexen Knights
7[[folder:In General]]
8* CombinationAttack: They have two Knight attacks:
9** "Knight A" is performed by Borus and Percival;
10** "Knight B" is performed by Chris and more two knights mounted on horses.
11* GratuitousGerman: Chris, Borus, Percival and Leo's weapons have German names.
12* KnightInShiningArmor: How they are seen in Zexen. Chris isn't as optimistic as most but she tries.
13* PowerUpMount: They mount horses during certain events. Gameplay-wise it don't affect the battles but it allows Chris to cross plains and forests faster.
14** Downplayed with Salome, who mount a horse during cut-scenes but is always on foot during battles.

19 [[caption-width-right:157:Tenbi Star]]
20
21* BattleBallgown: Her suit of armor.
22* BigFancyHouse: Lightfellow is a well to do family after all.
23* BroughtDownToNormal: Sarah, disguised as Yumi, uses a WoundedGazelleGambit to lure her away from Brass Castle and steal her True Rune. Chris recovers it in the final dungeon.
24* TheCaptain: Of the Zexen Knights, with the power and respect to back it up.
25* DefrostingIceQueen: Staring off she's as rigid and cold as her armor, but mellows a bit by the end game.
26* DudeMagnet: Several of her unit subordinates are obviously crushing on her, and her beauty is commented on by men several times.
27* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Cecile, Ayame and Yun are all quite fond of her, too.
28* HeroesPreferSwords: Chris is one of the three protagonists and wields a sword.
29* IronLady: When in command of the Zexen Knights she is confident and assertive, and her all male unit are quick to fall in line and follow orders. Before the Zexen Council however, she is more SilkHidingSteel in that she has to bow and obey and subvert them subtly, like pretending not to notice Budehuc Castle going into bussiness for itself.
30* JeanneDArchetype: Chris inherits her position from her dead superior and feels uncomfortable in it but carries it out for the good of Zexen's people.
31* LadyOfWar: Watch how easily she handles Hugo in chapter 1 and say she isn't.
32* TheLeader: Leads the Zexen Knights.
33* LettingHerHairDown: While under cover in the Grasslands, she removes her armor and takes the braids out of her hair, looking markedly more casual up until she puts the armor back on for the rest of the game afterward.
34* LegacyCharacter: Canonically, she will inherit the [[KillItWithWater True]] [[MakingASplash Water]] [[AnIcePerson Rune]] from her father Jimba. But if the player makes her the [[PlayingWithFire True Fire Rune]] successor, Hugo will inherit the TWR. But Chris can never inherit the [[ShockAndAwe True Lightning Rune]].
35* LightningBruiser: Subverted. Chris is strong and has great offensive skills, like "Accuracy", "Damage", "Heavy Damage" and "Parry" (the latter two can be upgraded to Rank A), and she is very durable and can equip heavy armor and learn "Repel" and "Armor Protect", but her speed is average.
36* LonelyRichKid: No siblings and no friends, only co-workers.
37* MagicKnight: Of ThePaladin variety if she inherits the [[HealingHands True]] [[MakingASplash Water]] [[AnIcePerson Rune]]. She's a bad mage otherwise. Unless you grind, there's a good chance she'll never even get a 4th-level spell slot.
38* MilitaryBrat: Her dad was a knight before her.
39* MurderByMistake: Chris' killing of Lulu was for the most part, purely by reflex in response to a threat.
40* TheOjou: Lightfellow is a high up family, but her unit treats her like royalty.
41* PaperThinDisguise: She decides to go undercover in Grasslands territory to learn about her missing father, and all she does is remove her armor and change her hair style. Given the medieval setting and the fact that very few Grasslanders have actually ever seen her face, knowing her mostly by reputation, it's a little more plausible than average.
42* ParentalAbandonment: Her dad disappeared and her mom isn't around (implied to have died early in Chris's childhood). [[spoiler: By the end of the game, she finds her father only to lose him again shortly thereafter.]])
43* RedBaron: The Silver Maiden, The White Hero of Zexen.
44* TheSmurfettePrinciple: In the Zexen knights there are no females but her.
45* StatuesqueStunner; Chris is 172cm tall.
46* StrongFamilyResemblance: Presumably to her late mother, given that her father is both [[spoiler: tan enough to pass easily as Karayan]] and [[spoiler: looks so different to her that TheReveal late-game is surprising the first time.]]
47* SuperGullible: Sometimes, she took things so seriously she didn't realize she was being played like a fool, like believing Estella's bizarre tales (when young Viki can read in instant what a sham it is in the first glance).
48-->'''Chris''': I'm such an idiot...
49* WhiteStallion: She is the leader of the Zexen Knights and the only one who rides a white horse.
50* TechnicolorEyes: Her eyes are purple.
51* TomboyishName: "Chris" is more commonly (though not exclusively) a boy's name.
52* YouAreInCommandNow: Happens to her very early in the game as ''two'' knights above her in the chain of command are KilledOffscreen, leaving her as the leader of the Knights of Zeken.

56[[quoteright:146:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suikoden3_borus.jpg]]
57 [[caption-width-right:146:Chimou Star]]
58
59* BrainwashedAndCrazy: During the Karayan village assault, as Luc epilogue reveals.
60* {{Foil}}: To Percival. Borus is always serious, HotBlooded and duty-driven, while Percival is more friendly, laid back and a womanizer. They are also associated with opposing elements: Borus has a fire-based Sword of Rage Rune, and Percival a Water Rune.
61%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
62%%* TheLancer
63* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Regrets his actions in Karaya immensely.
64* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Possibly unintentional, but try to spell his last name, "Redrum", backwards.
65* PlayingWithFire: Has a Sword of Rage Rune attached.

70 [[caption-width-right:115:Chiki Star]]
71
72* AnimeHair: Has a spiky hair.
73* ChickMagnet: Attracts attention from a lot of nameless women in the game of all ages, and is also the only one to boldly flirt with Chris.
74%%* DeadpanSnarker
75%%* TheDutifulSon
76* EmbarrassingNickname: His mother calls him "Percy" in front of Chris, much to his chagrin. His surname is perhaps even more embarrassing as it literally means "young woman" or "Miss" in German.
77* {{Foil}}: To the serious and more aggressive Borus.
78%%* MrFanservice
79* MakingASplash: Joins with the Water Rune equiped.
80* NiceGuy: He is one of the nicest knights.

86 [[caption-width-right:159:Tenki Star]]
87
88%%* BadassBookworm
89* GuileHero: Just look at how he takes down the entire Zexen Council in the manga. With little more than some rumors and some falsified evidence that's good enough to get the traitorous members to accidentally incriminate themselves...and does so in a way that he can truthfully claim to have been following the Council's own orders to the letter.
90* MagicKnight: Is a knight and a specialist in spells.
91* MagicStaff: Wields the Holy Mace.
92* MakingASplash: Salome comes with a Water Rune attached.
93* PurpleIsPowerful: His blazer.
94%%* ScarfOfAssKicking

116[[quoteright:223:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suikoden3_leo.jpg]]
117 [[caption-width-right:223:Chisyu Star]]
118
119* TheBigGuy: The physically imposing member of the team.
120%%* BoisterousBruiser
121* CombinationAttack: In addiction to the knights attack listed above, Leo can perform the "Han" attack with either Mua or Wan Fu.
122* FailureKnight: Not being able to protect the previous Captain is his [[MyGreatestFailure greatest failure]].
123* HotBlooded: Not as much as Borus, but he is eager to join a fight.
124* MightyGlacier: One of the slowest party members, but makes up for it with his high attack power, defense, and HP growth.
125* RedBaron: The "Iron Knight".
126[[/folder]]

128[[folder:Louis Keeferson]]
129[[quoteright:122:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suikoden3_louis.jpg]]

146!!Galahad, Pelize, Lanchet and Myriam
147* AscendedExtra: Downplayed with Galahad. He was never seen during the game, being only mentioned during Chris Prologue, but the manga gives him a few scenes during Chris flashbacks.

149* NumberTwo: Vice-Captain Pelize, to Galahad.
150* ParentalSubstitute: In the manga, Galahad acts as a father-like figure to Chris.
151* PosthumousCharacter:
152** Captain Galahad and Vice-Captain Pelize were killed by the Grassland clans sometime before the events of the game.
153** Lanchet and Myriam died when the Lizard Clan broke the peace treaty, thinking that their leader had been assassinated by the knights, and ambushed them.
154* TheUnseen: They are never seen during the game, being only mentioned by other characters. Galahad subverts this in the manga, as he appears during flashbacks.
