| 58 | A Knight of the Gralsritter and Ries' older sister. |
| 59 | ---- |
| 60 | * TheAce: Ein viewed her as one, and when the First Dominion says you're good... |
| 61 | * BadassNormal: Described as being as good as a Dominion even though she doesn't have any of the powers associated with them, by the First Dominion herself. If Kevin is brought to fight [[TheDreaded Loewe]] in ''SC,'' Loewe will even mention she ''could fight him to a standstill. On her own.'' In ''The 3rd,'' the flashback cutscene introducing the concept of Stigmas with Ein even has her point out ''Loewe'' was the one who retreated from that fight. It should also be stressed that the way Loewe tells the tale, he only remembers the bowgun - Rufina could very well have been fighting with only ''half'' her weapons against an opponent who could move at ridiculous speeds and close the distance on most ranged opponents, and still came out as the winner by default. |
| 62 | * BowAndSwordInAccord: Fought with a Templar Sword in one hand and a Bowgun in the other. This inspired Ries and Kevin's respective choice of arms. |
| 63 | * CoolBigSis: Was this to both Ries (her actual younger sister) and [[ChildhoodFriends Kevin]]. |
| 64 | * 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). |
| 65 | * NamedWeapons: Her two weapons are distinguished from most others by having names and titles, Magic Bow "Aion" and Spirit Sword "Silbern". Ries and Kevin can find copies of Rufina's old weapons in the Third Plane of Phantasma. |
| 66 | * NunTooHoly: As with her little sister, very lightly toyed with. She flirts a bit and has an unconventional approach to making Kevin eat. |
| 67 | * WorthyOpponent: ''Loewe'' certainly thinks of her as one. He expresses sadness when it's revealed she's dead by the time of ''SC.'' |

| 91 | Lloyd's older brother, he was an investigator for the Crossbell Police's First Division who died in the line of duty three years ago. |
| 92 | ---- |
| 93 | * TheAce: When he was partnered with Arios and Sergei, they formed a competent team able to get in the way of the mafia and participate in a international operation. Also, you know you're good you can handle Arios in ''single combat'' to a standstill, while finding out almost the entire plot of both Crossbell games before they happened, by himself. Note that it took ''six'' members of the SSS to beat Arios at full power. |
| 94 | ** JackOfAllTrades: However, it is noted by Garcia that while he is indeed a competent detective, he falls short of practically every single category to his specialised colleagues like Sergei (pinpointing enemy weaknesses and making the necessary preparations), Dudley (rational judgement and management) and Arios (quick-wittedness and awesome fighting skill). The one thing that he has over them is being a {{Determinator}} which allowed him to crack cases and criminals alike wide open. |
| 95 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To Lloyd. At the beginning of the Crossbell arc, everything he does is inevitably going to be compared to his awesome brother. This is later downplayed when a talk with Garcia in ''Azure'' reveal that he wasn't exactly the larger than life figure Lloyd thought he was and completely averted by the end of the Crossbell arc when Lloyd's pedigree arguably surpass Guy's. |
| 96 | * BigBrotherWorship: Inverted. Guy thinks that his brother is more talented that he will ever be. |
| 97 | * BattleInTheRain: He died in one, while facing Arios about the Azure-Zero Plan. |
| 98 | %%* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Cecile. |
| 99 | * CommonalityConnection: Ian looked over him and Lloyd because just like them, he lost his family in a foreign-related incident. |
| 100 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's a total goofball off duty, as shown by a drama CD where he spends a day comically worrying that Cecile will get mad at him for eating her jelly. He's also a strong enough fighter to stalemate Arios, a Divine Blade. |
| 101 | * {{Determinator}}: Garcia list this as his greatest strength and state that he never gave up, not against the general corruption of Crossbell nor against TheMafia. Arios even surmised that this trait was what put the duo on equal footing when they fought. |
| 102 | * DrivingQuestion: The cause of his death is one for Lloyd. |
| 103 | * DualWielding: Like his little brother, he used a pair of tonfas. |
| 104 | * EtTuBrute: Averted. He didn't blame about Arios's involvement in the Azure-Zero Project and his tentative to murder him. |
| 105 | * FatalFamilyPhoto: A variation. He was bragging to Arios about planning on inviting him and his daughter to his wedding to Cecile the next month after a ''stalemate in a duel to the death with him''. Cue getting shot in the heart from behind by Ian. |
| 106 | * GeniusBruiser: Was known as a skilled detective, and was strong enough to keep pace with Arios, who is a [[MasterSwordsman Divine Blade,]] both as an ally and an enemy. |
| 107 | * GoKartingWithBowser: It's noted that when off duty, he recommended liquors with ''the very criminals he supposed to arrest'' if he ever met up with them. Just ask Garcia. |
| 108 | * HaveYouToldAnyoneElse: Guy does this to himself when confronting Arios, telling him that he shared his suspicion with nobody and didn't bring Dudley for back up out of worry that he'd make the whole incident a big scene. Which Arios even points out is just assurance that if he kills Guy he'd get away with everything. But Guy is banking on the belief that Arios doesn't want to kill him and says this in the hope that they can put the issue aside for the moment and work things out later without anyone else getting involved, since the conspiracies plan is still years away from fruition. Guy appears to be right, as Arios seems willing to just wait things out till at least after Guy's wedding, but Ian also overhears this and decides to just kill Guy to eliminate the only witness. |
| 109 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: Died because of this, he figures the involvment of the Crois family and [[ThePlan the Azure-Zero Project]] before it even begins in public. |
| 110 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Arios. |
| 111 | * HundredPercentHeroismRating: How everyone in the CSPD sees him. Even the criminals respect him to a degree as Garcia is shown to have disobeyed an order from Marconi by refusing to falsely credit Revache for his death to Joachim. |
| 112 | * InTheBack: He was shot in the back by Ian. |
| 113 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: When Lloyd meet him in the World of Zero, he express this sentiment twofold. Once toward Cecile as he is shown hoping for her to move on and the other for Lloyd, as Guy don't even entertain the notion of coming back to life at the expense of Lloyd' struggles and growth since he joined the SSS. |
| 114 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Gazing at Your Back." |
| 115 | * ObliviousToLove: As Lloyd tells it, it took Guy forever to realize what Cecile felt for him. |
| 116 | * PracticallyDifferentGenerations: He was 25 years old when he died, while Lloyd at the time was, at most, 15. |
| 117 | * PromotionToParent: As his and Lloyd's parents died when he was 13, it fell to him to raise his brother, though he received assistance by Miles and Leyte, Cecile's parents. |
| 118 | * SharedFamilyQuirks: Seems like being ObliviousToLove is a recurring trend in the Bannings family. |
| 119 | * SoProudOfYou: When Lloyd is able to meet him in the World of Zero, Guy is touched by the growth of his brother. |
| 120 | * StockShonenHero: He has most of the traits of one: {{Determinator}}, ObliviousToLove, CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass, WideEyedIdealist... much of ''Zero'' and ''Azure'' is spent examining the ramifications of someone like this being killed before they have the chance to become the hero of the story. |

| 212 | * MetaphoricallyTrue: Is stated to be the one who killed Colonel Valestein. He didn't actually kill him, but he did hesitate to attack a young member of the rival Jaeger Corps Nidhoggr, who then proceeded to kill Colonel Valestein, making him partially responsible for his death. |
| 213 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Spares an enemy Jaeger as he was a child. Said Jaeger ends up killing his comrade and superior Colonel Valestein, and him taking the fall for his death which ends up fracturing the Northern Jaegers by putting [[BigBadWannabe Glark]] in charge, and turning Rogan into the WarHawk he is in the present. |
| 214 | * SilentScapegoat: According to Glark, he willingly took the fall for Colonel Valestein's death and stepped down from the Northern Jaegers, both out of possible shame and believing himself responsible since Colonel Valestein only died due to his hesitance to attack a young enemy Jaeger, and to prevent further division amongst the Northern Jaegers. |
| 215 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His hesitance in attacking an enemy child jaeger which resulted in Colonel Valestein's death, and then deciding to take the fall as a traitor, only helped to further fragment the Northern Jaegers as it put [[BigBadWannabe Glark]] in charge, and emboldened Rogan, who had been infuriated by the whole affair, into the WarHawk he is in the present who became deadset on overthrowing Glark and eventually North Ambria's civilian government. The end result is a military dictatorship that ends up costing North Ambria its sovereignty. |

| 267 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JojiNakata (Japanese), Michael Sorich (English) |

| 269 | |
| 270 | ->''"Arise, O youth, and become the foundation of the world."'' |
| 271 | |
| 272 | Known as Dreichels the Lionheart to many, he was the 73rd emperor of the Erebonian Empire who was responsible for ending the civil war known as the "War of the Lions" that took place over 250 years prior to the events of ''Cold Steel''. In the later years of his life, he founded Thors Military Academy with the intent to shape future generations of Erebonians into capable members of society as dictated by his famous mandate: "Arise, O youth, and become the foundation of the world." |
| 273 | |
| 274 | In ''Cold Steel II'' it's revealed that Dreichels was once the Awakener of Valimar. Discovering him in the building that would be known as the Old Schoolhouse, the two forged a contract with each other and through Valimar's power was Dreichels able to end the civil war. Afterwards, he ended his contract with Valimar and returned him to his place of rest once more. |
| 275 | ---- |
| 276 | * AnimalMotif: Lions, as stated in his status as [[TheMagnificent The Lionheart]]. Lions are symbols of royalty, strength and bravery which suits how he rose to the throne at the end of the War of the Lions. He also founded Thors Military academy which has a horned Lion as their emblem, with the students, and those who attempt to follow his examples tend to be called 'Young Lions'. His reincarnation Osborne inherited this. |
| 277 | * BattleCouple: He was romantically involved with Lianne during the War of the Lions until the latter's death and departure and two fought together during that time. |
| 278 | * {{BFS}}: His statue in Dreichels Plaza has him wielding one, which is heavily implied to have been his main weapon of choice in life. His reincarnation, Osborne, also favors one in battle. |
| 279 | * BlueBlood: Comes with the territory of being an Arnor. However, much like his future descendant Olivert, he's also half-commoner due to being born to a common born mother. |
| 280 | * CainAndAbel: The Abel towards several of his brother's Cain, but most notably [[TheUsurper Orthros]] who was the ancestor of the Cayenne family and Dreichels' final opponent for the throne. |
| 281 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Roland Vander. Their friendship would set the basis for the close relationship between the Arnor and Vander families for centuries to come. |
| 282 | * DareToBeBadass: Basically his mandate for Thors Military Academy: "Arise, O youth, and become the foundation of the world." |
| 283 | * TheFaceless: We never actually get to see what his face looks like even during flashbacks that show him. However, with what we know about reincarnation in Zemuria, odds are that he looked exactly like Osborne. |
| 284 | * FamousAncestor: He is the ancestor of the Imperial Family of Erebonia who are his direct descendants. |
| 285 | * TheGadfly: Apparently a bit as according to Roselia, she assumes that if he were still alive Dreichels would have likely teased her about her current child form. |
| 286 | * GenerationXerox: |
| 287 | ** 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. |
| 288 | ** It's also revealed that Rean, Dreichels' successor as Valimar's Awakener, is one as well. Not only do they end up walking similar paths during their respective civil wars, but when taking time to describe him to Rean, the way Valimar describes Dreichels makes it seem as though he's talking about Rean as well. Perhaps unsurprising considering that Rean's biological father is in fact a reincarnated Dreichels. |
| 289 | * GoingNative: Prior to the civil war that would make him famous, he lived as a nomad together with the people of the Nord Highlands. It's because of this that he formed close bond with them and that they eventually became his first real allies in the War of the Lions. |
| 290 | * TheGoodKing: Is remembered fondly as a great Emperor who ended a bloody CivilWar and as the Father of the Renaissance. |
| 291 | * GreaterScopeParagon: To the modern day Erebonian Empire. Long dead that he is, his ideals are what sets the standard for the students at Thors Military Academy as exemplified by the members of Class VII, and also in his descendant Olivert, who continuously strive to make the empire a better place for all. |
| 292 | * HeroicBastard: Was the born out of wedlock to a commoner mother, just like his descendant Olivert, but is nonetheless a heroic figure. |
| 293 | * HeroicLineage: The modern day Imperial Family are directly descended from him. |
| 294 | * HeroicWillpower: He was able to keep Ishmelga at bay ''for decades till his death''. |
| 295 | * HonorBeforeReason: Doesn't tell his best friend witch that he's been stalked by the curse of Erebonia, or even revealing that there's such a thing as a curse looming in Erebonia because he felt that the curse is an issue that only man has to deal with it and not bother Roselia with those issues. Unfortunately, this ends up endangering Erebonia as a whole. |
| 296 | * TheMagnificent: "Dreichels the Lionheart." |
| 297 | * 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 its hinted he had many more. |
| 298 | * MeaningfulName: The first half of his name, 'Drei' means 'three' in German, and he was the Emperor Valius' third son. |
| 299 | * OurFounder: A statue of him can be found in Dreichels Plaza. |
| 300 | * ParentalSubstitute: Raised the children of his dead best friend Roland as if they were his own. Considering the Vander family's long LegacyOfService since then, its safe to say they appreciated it. |
| 301 | * PrecursorHero: To Rean as Valimar's Awakener. |
| 302 | * {{Reincarnation}}: It's eventually revealed that Dreichels had reincarnated as a new person by the time the main story takes place. That person? None other than ''Giliath Osborne''. |
| 303 | * RoyalBastard: Was born out of wedlock to a common born mother. |
| 304 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: After seeing the devastation wrought by the conflict first hand, he fought in the War of the Lions for the sole purpose of restoring order to the Empire. |
| 305 | * SignificantDoubleCasting: Flashbacks of him speaking has him with the same voice actors as Osborne who turns out to be his reincarnation. |
| 306 | * StarcrossedLovers: With Lianne Sandlot. Both fell in love and had sworn to live with each other after the war ended, but Lianne's death and subsequent departure after her resurrection prevented any hope of that ever happening. |
| 307 | * UnexpectedSuccessor: As the 3rd born son, one [[HeroicBastard born out of wedlock]] to a commoner mother at that, he wouldn't have gotten the throne under normal circumstances. Only gained to throne by winning the [[SuccessionCrisis War of the Lions.]] |
| 308 | * WarriorPrince: Fought directly in the War of the Lions as Valimar's Awakener. |

| 396 | The "mother" of Calvard's revolution who, alongside her comrades, artist Aramis Gainsbourg, former general Ulger Atkinson, and philosopher Auguste Ardant, helped overthrow the oppressive Royal Ramily, turning the kingdom into a republic in S.1100. |
| 397 | ---- |
| 398 | * 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 is a former ally of hers that turned out to be way too extreme in his beliefs. |
| 399 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Her name and role in Calvard's revolution is mentioned in a book that goes over famous female figures in ''Zero'', and details of the revolution are mentioned in ''Azure''. |
| 400 | * JeanneDArchetype: Given her role as a young woman of humble origins who become the face of a revolution, she's quite obviously meant to be the ''Trails'' equivalent of UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc, which is fitting given that Calvard is partially inspired by France. |
