7	!!Jude Maverick
8	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyokoShiraishi (Japanese); Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (English)
9	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wa4_jude.png]]
10	[[caption-width-right:250:Gadgeteer]]
11	A naive and somewhat immature boy who is a natural Gene Driver: one who can control an ARM. He has [[{{Determinator}} a reckless determination to overcome all obstacles and do what is right]]. As a fighter, he's the JackOfAllStats and the only one required to [[BlessedWithSuck reload his weapons]].
12	----
13	* ChildrenAreInnocent: Several characters note that his optimistic worldview is a good thing in the CrapsackWorld that is Filgaia. His willingness to do what feels right clashes with the antagonists' WellIntentionedExtremist philosophy, and he manages to convince several of them to change their cynical disposition.
14	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: His first instinct when he sees Yulie in a cell? He tries to bust her out, despite being unarmed in a ship full of soldiers. He often goes out of his way to help people even when the party has little time to spare, such as helping the village of Halim shortly before the final battle.
15	* HeroicBSOD: After [[spoiler: he sees his mother killed]], he goes silent - even if you had his voice settings at such a point that he'd ordinarily burst out with some catchphrase or sound effect every three steps. It's... unnerving.
16	* JackOfAllStats: He has the most balanced status of the four party members, but lacks his allies' special abilities.
17	* KidHero: Jude is only 13 years old, and yet he is TheHero of the story.
18	* MeaningfulAppearance: His jacket is blatantly oversized, which signifies that he still has much growing up to do, and not only in physical, but also in mental sence. The only question is if he has to [[ChildrenAreInnocent sacrifice his ideals]] in order to fit into the CrapsackWorld he lives in.
19	* MorphWeapon: His ARM, aptly-named Shapeshifter, can morph into a variety of weapons. Normally it manifests as a pistol, and turns into a sword when it runs out of bullets, but certain skills has it take other forms. Phantom Line turns it into a large laser gun, Short Circuit makes it into an SMG, and Silver Launcher is a grenade launcher.
20	* SpeedBlitz: His Assault Buster attack has him use Accelerator to slash the enemy multuple times with the sword form of his ARM. It becomes stronger based on difference in RFX (the stat that governs turn order) between Jude and the enemy.
21	* SuperSpeed: {{Nanomachines}} in his body enable him to use Accelerator. It's shown to give him enough speed to [[WalkOnWater run on water]], or to [[RacingTheTrain catch up to a speeding train]].

24	[[folder:Yulie Ahtreide]]
25	!!Yulie Ahtreide
26	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyakoKawasumi (Japanese); Creator/KateHiggins (English)
27	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wa4_yulie.png]]
28	[[caption-width-right:250:Paladienne]]
29	A shy girl who is extremely wary of adults. She is also a Gene Driver, but her abilities were given to her through extensive and inhumane treatments and experimentation. She cannot activate [=ARMs=] like Jude can, but can control already active [=ARMs=], which allows her to use the [[SummonMagic Guardian Programs]]. Aside from that, she's primarily a healer/support character.
30	----
31	* ApologisesALot
32	* BreakTheCutie: Yulie received inhumane treatment and experimentation made by scientists that attempted to create a Gene Driver.
33	* FeminineWomenCanCook: She usually cooks for the party, and everyone notes how tasty her cooking is. When [[ActionGirl Raquel]] is shown cooking, she herself notes that her cooking is bad when compared to Yulie's.
34	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her weapon is a circle that looks like a {{Chakram}}, but it's actually this. For her normal attack it turns into three circles that move apart and push the enemy with the flat side, somehow damaging them. Her DefendCommand has her levitate these three circles before her like a barrier. ''VideoGame/WildArmsMillionMemories'' just dropped all pretense and had Yulie attack with magic blasts, directed by waving the circle around.
35	* MysticalWaif: She has a completely unique power to control already active [=ARMs=], something that even a born Gene Driver like Jude can't achieve. It also somehow allows her to summon Guardians - you know, Guardian Spirits of the planet.
36	* SummonMagic: Her Force Ability, Material, is to summon a Guardian. Normally she summons "Code: 0" Guardian, which heals the party, but if she stands on a Ley Point, it will change into Code: M, S, F, or G, depending on its element.
37	* TurnUndead: Her "Sanctify" spell line deals heavy damage to undead enemies, but is useless against everything else. Hi-Sanctify even has a chance to outright destroy the undead enemy no matter how many HP it has.
38	* WhiteMagicianGirl: She is very nice and gentle, and doesn't learn any attacks other than [[TurnUndead ones that purify undead]] and SummonMagic. She's also your main healer and buffer.

41	[[folder:Arnaud G. Vasquez]]
42	!!Arnaud G. Vasquez
43	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HirokiTakahashi (Japanese); Creator/YuriLowenthal (English)
44	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wa4_arnaud.png]]
45	[[caption-width-right:250:Formula User]]
46	A handsome young Drifter who is physically weak, so honed his mind into a weapon. He [[CowardlyLion claims to be a selfish coward at heart]], but he remains with Yulie and Jude throughout their journey. He is primarily an [[BlackMage offensive magic user]].
47	----
48	* AttackReflector: He learns a skill called Magic Blocker, which sometimes [[NoSell blocks]] magic attacks, and later complements it with Reflect, which sends back blocked magic.
49	* BlackMage: Skilled in offensive magic and ailment/debuff spells.
50	* CowardlyLion: He constantly complains about how dangerous the whole adventure is, and how strong the foes they meet, but he still sticks with Jude and Yulie, despite them being the only ones the Brionac is after.
51	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Arnaud uses feather-shaped throwing knifes for his normal attacks.
52	* NonElemental: His spells of the "Blast" line normally doesn't have any elemental affinity, but gain one if he's standing on a Ley Point.
53	* TheSmartGuy: He comes up with the team's plans to get into or out of somewhere, and periodically boasts how he "good in everything from the neck up". Heis class is also listed as "Formula User", and his magic is implied to come from mental training.
54	* SquishyWizard: Being the party's BlackMage, his physical attack power and vitality aren't the highest.
55	* {{Teleportation}}: His Force Ability, "Jump", allows him to instantly travel to any HEX on the battlefield. He also refers to it in a story cutscene, so it's not just a gameplay mechanic.

58	[[folder:Raquel Applegate]]
59	!!Raquel Applegate
60	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HitomiNabatame (Japanese); Creator/WendeeLee (English)
61	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wa4_raquel.png]]
62	[[caption-width-right:250:Master Fencer]]
63	A swordswoman seemingly without peer. She is by far the most mature member of the party. She [[WalkingTheEarth travels the world]] to find and paint the remaining beauty in the world. She also happens to be the most [[GameBreaker broken]] character in your party, with an attack strength high enough to finish most non-boss enemies in one hit. She later gains abilities that give her superior mobility on the battlefield and the ability to act twice in a row.
64	----
65	* ActionGirl: She's implied to be travelling alone for years, and as such she's more than capable to defend herself. She also gets just as much combat cutscenes as Jude. Her EstablishingCharacterMoment is to calmly ask some soldiers, who were causing a ruckus, to behave properly, and then to take them at swordpoint when they take offence.
66	* BadassNormal: As far as we know, she has no special abilities or enhancements, she's just ''that good'' with the sword. To give an idea how good she is, she can successfully parry attacks from a DualWielding guy who can ''[[TimeStandsStill stop time]]''.
67	* TheBigGal: The strongest party member, Raquel can finish most enemies in one hit.
68	* {{BFS}}: Her sword reaches up to her chest when planted into the ground, and is almost as wide as she is.
69	* CoolBigSis: Generally plays this role to the party, being the oldest and most mature team member. It's her pep talk that breaks Jude out of his HeroicBSOD.
70	* DiedHappilyEverAfter: [[spoiler:Having finally found true happiness and beauty through her marriage to Arnaud, and having given birth to their daughter, Raquel passes on peacefully with no regrets.]]
71	* ExtraTurn: Her Intrude ability, which trades FP for an extra turn. Given how much damage she does in a single turn, Intrude basically means that most boss fights abruptly end as soon as Raquel gets a turn.
72	* LadyOfWar: A swordswoman with a cool and mature demeanor on a quest for beauty.
73	* MightyGlacier: An extreme example. Raquel is so slow that each of the other party members will generally get two actions for every one action Raquel gets, but her attack power is so high that she often does more than half a boss's HP in one hit.
74	* MorphWeapon: A minor example. Her sword has an extendable handle, which turns it into a spear.
75	* SoapOperaDisease: [[spoiler: Due to being injured during the destruction of Verklerung, she has an unknown but fatal illness. It's greatly implied to be radiation poisoning.]]
76	* WalkingTheEarth: Looking for things of beauty.

80	!!!Leaders
81	[[folder:Lamba Zellweger]]
82	!!Lambda Zellweger

84	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wa4_lambda.png]]
85	[[caption-width-right:250:Blue Destiny]]
86	The leader of Brionac, Lambda has the ability to see the future. His weapons are the sword and whip.
87	----
88	* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:He's pretty pitiable in his final moments, mainly due to his HeelRealization.]]
89	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He is not noted to have any superpowers beyond his CombatClairvoyance, but it doesn't stop him from smashing several boulders with his bare hands at one point, and then swinging a steel beam around.
90	* CombatClairvoyance: Lambda has the Blue Destiny ability, which lets him calculate the future based on whatever he sees, and allows him to completely avoid most attacks. It can be overloaded if the information he receives is too complex, such as [[spoiler:[[CombinationAttack Force Combination Arts]]]].
91	* EvenEvilHasStandards:
92	** [[spoiler:Lambda kills the Cabal in disgust shortly after learning their true objectives.]]
93	** [[spoiler:In the backstory, he also personally executed Fiore and Asia's creator after learning that he was a rapist.]]
94	* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Lambda is initially a fairly moral person, but after he loses the greater portion of his comrades and the organization he served falls apart, his recourse is practically to [[spoiler: wipe anyone not capable of surviving a horde of powerful mutants off the planet]]. Needless to say, he fucking lost it.
95	* KnightTemplar
96	* LargeHam: During his rants about Filgaia's future.
97	* ManlyTears: He sheds tears whenever his ability shows him how much needs to be sacrificed in the name of giving Filgaia a future. Hence his ability being nicknamed "Future Veiled in Tears".
98	* MeaningfulName: Lambda is the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet; the Brionac Forces is composed by eleven members (including Lambda himself).
99	* RedBaron:
100	** He, like the other members of Brionac, is nicknamed after his ability, "Blue Destiny".
101	** His inclination to ManlyTears led to him being called "Future Veiled in Tears".
102	* RedemptionEqualsDeath
103	* SocialDarwinist: [[spoiler: His final plan is to use the Divine Weapon to unleash powerful monsters upon the world, ensuring that the survivors, who will have proven themselves to be the fittest, will usher in a better future.]]
104	* WellIntentionedExtremist: He genuinely thinks that [[spoiler:using the Divine Weapon to recreate the world]] is the only way to preserve Filgaia.

110	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wa4_farmel.png]]
111	[[caption-width-right:250:Citadel of the Gods]]
112	The Shield of Brionac. She supports and loves Lambda unconditionally, although her outward demeanor is lighthearted. Her weapon is a [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe shield]].
113	----
114	* ArtificialLimbs: She appears to have prostheses in place of her right arm and leg, but this is never elaborated upon. She, however, lacks the "Machine" attribute that Balgaine has.
115	* MsFanservice: Combine her NavelDeepNeckline with her [[TheTease flirtatious relationship]] with Lambda.
116	* NavelDeepNeckline: Her neckline plunges to her stomach.
117	* RecurringElement: She is the game's Asgard, with her defensive fighting style mirroring the original Asgard's BarrierWarrior abilties.
118	* RedBaron: She calls herself Asgard, the Citadel of the Gods, before her boss battle.
119	* StoneWall: Her combat style is entirely defensive. She uses multiple stances that make her immune to different types of attacks and give her different counters. This includes a stance that is immune to all damage and deals [[OneHitKill 9999 damage]] with its counterattack. She, however, never attacks on her own, giving the player plenty of time to figure out her weakness.

125	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wa4_kresnik.png]]
126	[[caption-width-right:250:Pale Rider]]
127	Yulie's brother and, as a result of the same experimentation done on Yulie, also a Gene Driver. He cares deeply for his sister but is jealous of Jude for having the natural ability to use [=ARMs=].
128	----
129	* AloofBigBrother: Yulie's.
130	* AntiVillain
131	* CoolBike: Javelin, Kresnik's motorcycle.
132	* GreenEyedMonster: Kresnik envies Jude for being a natural born [=ARMs=] wielder much younger than him. Kresnik had to undergo severe mutations and can still only wield prototype [=ARMs=] with the aid of drugs.
133	* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:Twice during the game: at ''Garra de Leon'', he [[HeelFaceTurn go against Lambda's orders and help saving Yulie]] and, at the last dungeon, he joins Jude, after he got separated from his friends.]]
134	* HeelFaceTurn
135	* InferredSurvival: [[spoiler:The epilogue strongly implies that he is alive after all. Firstly, Yulie is shown to have his music box, despite previously saying that she won't take his gift from anyone else. And secondly, there is a panning shot that briefly shows a silouhette that ''strongly'' resembles him. And this shot pans out from his sister's appearance.]]
136	* RedBaron: He is known as the Pale Rider. [[spoiler:It's also his class on the status screen, when he briefly joins you as a GuestStarPartyMember.]]
137	* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler:Late in the game, he falls into a pit and instead of letting Jude help him, he gives him his ARM and falls down, presumably to his death ([[InferredSurvival or maybe not]]). Apparently, [=LiNKER=] took a toll on his body, and he didn't want to fail everyone, and instead chose to entrust his power to Jude. Indeed, Jude inherits his ARM-based Original commands, including incredibly useful Apoptosis, which is effective against enemies in the final dungeon, including final boss.]]

144	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wa4_jeremy.png]]
145	[[caption-width-right:250:Inertial Canceller]]
146	By far the most violent and insane member of Brionac, Jeremy wields a rapid fire missile launcher barehanded thanks to his special ability, "Inertia Cancel."
147	----
148	* AxCrazy: Jeremy is extremely violent and perfectly willing to ignore mission objectives in favor of murdering anyone who slights him. [[spoiler:And he gets worse after becoming a Wild ARM.]]
149	* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: His transformation into a Wild ARM isn't as grotesque as Augst's, but half of his body ends up being converted into some kind of bio-mechanical substance while his arm is grossly fused to his gatling gun.]]
150	* ExtraTurn: His Inertia Cancel ability manifests itself in battle as this, where he gets an extra attack every turn. He starts using it in his second battle, and every battle afterwards increases the amount of extra turns by one each, ending at three extra turns.
151	* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:He is merged with his ARM in the final battle against him.]]
152	* MythologyGag: His RedBaron title, Inertial Canceller, is a reference to the "Inertia Cancel" feature from ''VideoGame/WildArms3'', that allowed the player to re-pick the action for the current turn for the price of 25 Force Points.
153	* RecurringBoss: One of the very few examples of this in the game. In a game where most of the villains die after their first battle, Jeremy is fought a grand total of four times.
154	* RedBaron: Inertial Canceller.
155	* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler:When he merges with an ARM, he becomes even ''more'' insane and violent, and indiscriminately blows up everything in town just to make Jude fight him once again.]]

162	[[caption-width-right:250:Crimson Noble]]
163	A man who claims to be one of the half-mythical [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Crimson Nobles]]. He brings his lover, Belial, into the inner circle of Brionac, and frequently feeds on her. He has the special ability to manipulate time and space.
164	----
165	* BloodMagic: [[spoiler:Unknown to himself, the ability to manipulate space come from drinking Belial's blood.]]
166	* FauxAffablyEvil: He tries to act charming, but he's an unpleasant prick who, compared to most of Brionac, is pretty low on morality scale.
167	* InterspeciesRomance: With Belial. [[spoiler:Belial being his non-human partner.]]
168	* LifeDrain: The spell "Suction".
169	* OhCrap: [[spoiler:When an airship on the carrier's engines fire up and jets right at his direction, Scythe tries to warp out but finds out he can't do anything except look at all the airplanes tumbling towards him.]]
170	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: His vampirism gives him the power to control space and time. [[spoiler:Although he is not himself a Crimson Noble, anyway, and only gets his power through his lover, who is a demon.]]
171	* ReadingsAreOffTheScale:
172	--> '''Arnaud:''' "The amount of magic welling up in him is insane!"\
173	'''Jude''': "You can tell?"\
174	'''Arnaud''': "Magic's my specialty...I can't help but sense it. He's beyond inhuman...Maybe he is a Crimson Noble!"
175	* RedBaron: Crimson Noble.
176	* SpaceMaster: Has the power to create space distortions.
177	* WouldHurtAChild: Most of the members of Brionac, sans Jeremy, are more content with capturing Yulia and giving the heroes a chance to stand down and escape. Scythe, however, jumps straight to trying to kill them.

184	[[caption-width-right:250:System Chronos]]
185	A member of Brionac whose special ability is "System Chronos", which stops time for everyone but himself. He [[DualWielding wields a pair of swords]], named Gan and Diva, which can be combined to form a bow.
186	----
187	* BifurcatedWeapon
188	* GracefulLoser: Admits his defeat to the party.
189	* NoSell: Jude tried to use his Accelerator to keep up with Hugo's speed, but Hugo 'teleports' behind Jude and kicks him in the rear.
190	-->'''Hugo:''' "They call me "System Chronos"... [[ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy My ability is to compress the flow of time, allowing me, and me alone to move amidst high-density time which is practically standing still... Do you understand? No matter how much you accelerate, when I compress time, your speed approaches zero! The super-speed ability of your Accelerator is completely powerless before System Chronos.]]
191	* RedBaron: System Chronos.
192	* TimeStandsStill: Is capable of compressing time with his ability. In battle, this allows him to move to another panel on the battlefield and avoid attacks [[spoiler: unless he's cornered]].
193	[[/folder]]

196	!!Heath
197	The Brionac member who created Fiore and Asia. He was killed by Lamba before the events of the game.
198	----
199	* AllMenArePerverts: According to Enil, Heath used his ability to stalk on the female staff members. [[EvenEvilHasStandards This is also the reason Lambda killed him.]]
200	* DrivenToMadness: According to Enil, his special ability didn't do well for his sanity.
201	* {{Invisibility}}: His special ability allows him to became completely invisible, undetectable by any human sense or even machine.
202	* MadScientist: Created Fiore and Asia.

212	A physically weak woman who has the devastating special ability of "Dark Whisper," which can manifest illusions, particularly fears. She also has the ability to shapeshift.
213	----
214	* AntiVillain: Is almost entirely bereft of antagonistic traits and is rather pitiable herself.
215	* FlunkyBoss: Enil herself is a flimsy boss who is reliant on using her shadows to inflict damage and prevent enemies from attacking her.
216	* MirrorBoss: Her gimmick. She summons shadow clones of the party who fight for her. Additionally, attacking a clone without the matching character inflicts the damage dealt to that corresponding party member.
217	* RedBaron: Dark Whisper.

225	A powerful warrior seeking an honorable death on the battlefield. His weapon is a ''anti-tank'' chainsaw.
226	----
227	* BlasphemousBoast: He boasts that not even the gods stand the chance against him and "his partner" (his chainsaw, that is).
228	* BloodKnight: He expresses his excitement to fight against someone who wields an ARM. He also believes that true warriors give meaning to their lives by fighting.
229	* ChainsawGood: Again, a ''friggin' anti-tank chainsaw''. It's powerful enough to [[OneHitKill instantly kill]] anyone in his attack range. Played with, however, as he still needs to waste a whole turn to start it up before every attack.
230	* ContractualBossImmunity: His special ability, "Baron of Gore", nullifies any kind of ailment/debuff spell. As the game puts it, "the only way to prevail is with a head-on assault".
231	* CoolShades: He is a powerful fighter, who wears a pair of shades, even though his battle takes place in a dimly lit train car.
232	* {{Cyborg}}: It's implied that he is heavily augmented, as the [[EnemyScan "Analyze" command]] assigns him the "Machine" attribute, and he is weak against Jude's Short Circuit attack, that normally deals good damage only to robots, mechs and the like. He also [[spoiler:explodes after being defeated]].
233	* DeathSeeker: Openly expresses regret that he didn't die in combat during the war. [[spoiler:Naturally, as an antagonist, he gets his wish when he fights the heroes.]]
234	* DynamicEntry: Balgaine chops a train car in half with a chainsaw, then uses his {{Jetpack}} to go after the moving train, where the party is.
235	* MightyGlacier: Takes two turns to perform any attack, but if any gets caught in his range when he finally lets go, they are ''dead''.

244	A former colleague of Jude's parents, Augst now works as a scientist for Brionac. He lacks any combat prowess or special abilities, unlike most of the rest of Brionac.
245	----
246	* BadassNormal: Averted. Unlike the rest of Brionac, Augst has no special ability or skill in combat. In order for him to impede the heroes in any way, he has to [[spoiler: inject himself with experimental Wild ARM cells]]. Regardless, that he's willing to do that at all in the name of his objectives is impressive enough.
247	* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Becomes a bloated, tumorous mass of mutated flesh after becoming a Wild ARM. His biology becomes so warped that he actually absorbs energy, demonstrated when he absorbs a battleship-sized explosion, becoming a giant, unstable blob that leaks fire and is ready to explode at any moment in the process]]
248	* EvilGenius: To some degree. He's not evil, per se, but he's antagonistic, he has committed some heinous crimes, and serves as the lead strategist and scientist within a morally-dubious military faction.
249	* RedBaron: The Trifler.
250	* StoneWall: [[spoiler:His boss form is this. It halves all damage received and absorbs elemental magic, but is so impossibly slow that you could literally kill him 10 times over before he even gets his own turn.]]
251	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Wishes to develop [=ARMs=] for the sake of healing the war-torn planet, but is willing to commit wholly unethical experiments in the process.

275	* AxCrazy: She doesn't take [[spoiler:Scythe's death]] well.
276	* FlunkyBoss: Summons spacial distortions and uses them as shields.
277	* HoistByHerOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Belial is normally extremely powerful, but the creation of her own pocket dimension for the sake of trapping the heroes drains her power to such a level that the heroes are able to defeat her. Said dimension then collapses while she's still iside, killing her.]]
278	* InterspeciesRomance: With Scythe. [[spoiler:With her as the non-human part]].
279	* KissOfTheVampire: Belial clearly enjoys getting bitten by Scythe. [[spoiler:Except that he isn't a vampire.]]
280	* MagicalBarefooter: She wears some banadages instead of shoes, and is [[spoiler:a powerful SpaceMaster who [[PowerFloats floats]] instead of walking.]]
281	* MarkedChange: [[spoiler:When she reveals her true power, she gets yellow markings all over her body.]]

284	* PowerFloats: [[spoiler:When she exerts her true power while hunting the party, she floats several centimeters above ground.]]

303	TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness who command Brionac.
304	----
305	* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: During the war, they fought against the Global Union's dictatorship regime for the sake of a democratic society. [[spoiler:After the war was over, they grew to believe that commoners were unfit to rule, and thus became yet another set of dictators.]]
306	* ColorCodedCharacters: Each member wears a different colored armor. Clifford wears red, Arlington - green, Buckingham - yellow, Ashley - blue, and Lauderdale - purple.
307	* TheDividual: For purposes of the story, they are essentially one character. They are never seen apart, have the exact same goals and methods, never disagree with each other, and always talk about the same topic. The only one who gets some individual characterisation is their leader, Clifford, and only because [[spoiler:he survives a little bit longer when Lambda turns on them, and gets one final [[ShutUpKirk defiant speech]].]]
308	* EvilOldFolks: They are very old, needing their armors to survive, and are the most villainous faction in the game, who kickstart its plot. It's implied that they may be well over a hundred years old.
309	* FallenHero: [[spoiler:As some of the oldest vanguards of the Congressional Knights, they originally fought the Global Union for the sake of a democratic society where the average citizen could participate in the rule of government. As they grew older, however, they grew to believe that the average person was too unintelligent and incapable to participate, and thus became yet another set of dictators.]]
310	* FunWithAcronyms: "Cabal" is actully an acronym for councilmen '''C'''lifford, '''A'''rlington, '''B'''uckingham, '''A'''shley, and '''L'''auderdale.
311	* GodhoodSeeker: [[spoiler:Their ultimate goal is to use the Divine Weapon to become gods and rule over Filgaia, citing that they are the most capable people to do so.]]
312	* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: [[spoiler:The Cabal deliberately sends off each member of Brionac, one by one, to get killed so that Brionac's influence would wane and Lambda would fall in line with their desires. However, it was Lambda's own grief over the loss of all of his comrades that pressures him to confront and ultimately kill the members of the Cabal.]]
313	* ImmortalityInducer: Heavily downplayed with their Armors of Leadership. It doesn't actually make them immortal, but greatly extends their lifespan.
314	* TheUnfought: The party never confronts them, and in fact doesn't even know about their existence. [[spoiler:Mainly because Lambda kills the Cabal before the party arrives]].

317	[[folder:The Jane Does]]
318	!!The Jane Does
319	A trio of undead supersoldiers, who serve the Congressional Knights from the shadows.
320	----
321	* ArtificialZombie: The Jane Does were created at the White Orphanage by installing digitalized souls of negative emotions on the bodies of newly dead soldiers. It leaves them as the only boss with weakness to [[TurnUndead Sanctify]].
322	* {{BFS}}: Jane Doe SW has a remarkably large sword, and AX has an even bigger axe. They are likely modified heavily enough to effectively wield such weapons.
323	* {{BFG}}: Jane Doe GN has a large cannon as her weapon.
324	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Jane Doe" is a generic name used for unidentified females soldiers.
325	* ThemeNaming: Their designations - SW, GN and AX, are short for their weapons - Sword, Gun and Axe respectively.
326	* WeBarelyKnewYe: Unlike every other antagonist in the game, they are never mentioned by anyone else, and their role in the game is barely bigger than that of a {{Random Encounter\|s}}. They get grand total of seven dialogue boxes before Yulie offs them with [[TurnUndead Sanctify]] spell.

329	[[folder:Gawn Brawdia]]
330	!!Gawn Brawdia
331	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NorioWakamoto (Japanese); Kim Strauss (English)
332	A cheerful, almost buffoon-like, adult who helps the party numerous times along their way. He claims to search for a certain man in his travels.
333	----
334	* BadassNormal: [[spoiler:He's one of the only two members of Brionac without a special ability, but he is by far their strongest member, with more than two times the HP of the next toughest member and with his standard attacks being {{One Hit Kill}}s.]]
335	* CoatOverTheShoulder: He always wears his jacket in this manner, to signify his friendly attitude. [[spoiler:After he reveals himself as a member of Brionac, he starts wearing it normally, presumably so it doesn't impede his fighting capability.]]
336	* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:He claims to be able to take down anything with twelve shots of his guns. He's proven wrong twice - once by heroes, who survive them all, and then, barely five minutes later, by eleventh missile of Illsveil Prison's AA system. For further irony, Gawn is the secret trump card of Brionac, twelfth member of Lambda's Elite 11, and he dies to the eleventh missile of the system that was supposed to only have ten.]]
337	* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Gawn goes out in a physics-defying spectacle, saving the heroes from Illsveil's anti-air missile system. Specifically, he does this in mid-air, propelling himself with nothing but his two guns, while shooting down each missile up until he runs out of ammo and friggin' punches the last one.]]
338	* GunsAkimbo: [[spoiler: His signature weapons are two 6-shot pistols, hence his title of Twin Gunner. He's stated to be able to take down anything with the 12 shots between both of his pistols.]]
339	* TheGunslinger: [[spoiler:He wields two {{Hand Cannon}}s that can [[OneHitKO deal 9999 damage]] with each shot (aside from counters). He's so good, the party can't even touch him, and "wins" only because he promised to let them go if they survive 12 shots.]]
340	* InstantDogend: He appears to have one. When Jude points this out, he claims that it's a freeze-dried noodle.
341	* TheMole: [[spoiler:It's all but stated that he travels with the party to leak information about their whereabouts to Brionac.]]
342	* ObfuscatingStupidity: He comes off as a buffoon, but on many occasions challenges the party members, especially Jude, to reconsider their simplistic world views. [[spoiler:Once it's revealed he's part of Brionac, his buffoonish disguise completely disappears to reveal a much more cynical, battered man than one would have expected. He also claims to be unable to fight, despite possibly being the strongest member of Brionac.]]
343	* PunchClockVillain: [[spoiler:While he doesn't like Lambda's methods, he still follows him because he believes it's his responsibility. After the party proves themselves in combat, he pulls a HeelFaceTurn and carves them a path through defences of Illsveil Prison.]]
344	* RedBaron: [[spoiler:He has two - Double Dragoon, as seen on a console at Eulalia, and Twin Gunner.]]

352	----
353	* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:It's heavily implied that Hauser is a nanomachine-powered ghost by the time the party meets him, similar to Werner from [[VideoGame/WildArms3 the last game]].]]
354	* DisappearsIntoLight: [[spoiler:Hauser, who at that point may have been nothing more than a nanomachine cluster, after Jude convinces him to let go and rest.]]
355	* LukeIAmYourFather: Hints throughout the game are made that he is [[spoiler:Jude's father.]] Subverted in that [[spoiler:it is later hinted that this is ''not'' Jude's real father (he died), but rather a collection of nanomachines that mimicked him.]]
356	* MoralityPet: The little puppy he saves. [[spoiler:Its implied death makes him snap.]]
357	* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:After concluding that HumansAreBastards.]]
358	* RedBaron: [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Black Reaper]].
