- Healer Signs On Early: In both Langrisser II and Der Langrisser, she joins Elwin after the first Mission, providing much more support than Hein could. However, in Langrisser II, she leaves the party at around Scenario 9 (which would equivalent to Der Langrisser Scenario 4) and will not return until Scenario 23, a few scenarios before the final battle.

- Heroic Lineage: Her ancestry includes Luna, baroness of the ancient Larcuss kingdom, and Narm & Lance, founders of the Kalxath kingdom.
- Leeroy Jenkins: Her ostensible style in Langrisser Mobile. Her "Wild Princess" skill allows her to take an extra turn after finishing an enemy, and also powers her up if she separates herself from her comrades. She also starts with the "Lightning" ability that becomes instantly available to use again if it's used to finish off an enemy. Her defenses aren't anything special though, so depending on how her skills are used, she can easily cause more trouble for herself than for the enemy.

Cherie's former fencing instructor, who has since retired to a quiet life in a mountain hamlet, but takes up his sword again to protect villagers from the Empire.
- Cool Old Guy: The eldest of the Descendant of Light (aside from Jessica), yet his old age doesn't hold back his combat effectiveness.
- Expy: Of Albert from the first game, as a somewhat older figure with a lance-focused class tree who needs to be rescued from an Imperial ambush before joining forces. In some adaptations, they even reuse the map from Langrisser I for his introduction.
- Mandatory Unretirement: Due to the Empire.
- Mutually Exclusive Party Members: In addition to only joining the party on the Descendants of Light routes, towards the end of the game, he can leave the party in favor of Lana post-Heel–Face Turn; it's an automatic swap in some paths, while in others, the player gets to pick whether to keep Aaron or replace him.

Bernhardt
Voiced by: Shigezou Sasaoka (original), Motoi Koyanagi (remake)
The Kaiser of Rayguard, who began as a charismatic mercenary that attracted many skilled subordinates. He claims Alhazard under the urging of Bozel, who convinced him that the sword would aid in his dream of uniting El Sallia. However, the sword soon becomes a corrupting influence.

- Driven to Suicide: At the end of the Light Path, he opts to kill himself with Alhazard's power rather than submit to the party.
- Expy: Of Kaiser Digos from the first game, given his philosophy of ends justifying the means and invading lands for peace. It's even brought up in-game, such as on the Imperial route which leads to fighting in the remains of Dalsis' Twin Castle.
- Might Makes Right: Believes the only way to put an end to pointless war is to unite the continent under one authoritative rule.
Leon
Voiced by: Ryōtarō Okiayu (original), Shuuhei Iwase (remake)
The commander of the Blue Dragon Knights, and the youngest and most powerful of the four generals of the Rayguard Empire.
- The Ace: Known as the finest knight on the continent and proves it.
- Driven to Suicide: In the ending of the Light Path, Leon chooses to follow Bernhardt to certain doom after it is clear that their vision will not come to fruition.
- Expy: Of Lance from the first game, considering he's a recurring foe for the Descendants of Light, the leader of his own cavalry unit (including at least one loyal subordinate with his own name and picture), and is the most honorable member of an empire. However, unlike Lance, he would rather die with the Emperor than outlive him.
- Heroic Lineage: He's a descendant of Diehärte Klaus and Freya, making him a cousin of Elwin, which leads to them racing for the Langrisser they can both wield.
- My Master, Right or Wrong: His loyalty towards Bernhardt never falters.
- Scissors Cuts Rock: In the beginning of the game, Leon and Laird is forced to fight the local militia, while Baldo escorts Liane out of the village.

Imelda
Voiced by: Hiromi Tsuru (original), Chiaki Takahashi (remake)
The commander of the Ice Dragon Navy of the Rayguard Empire.

- Convenient Replacement Character: Her introduction on the Imperial route occurs much earlier than on the Light route; it's right after parting ways with Liana, the party's main healer, and Imelda starts with a Heal spell.
- Egopolis: Her ending states that she was awarded a coastal territory by Bernhardt, naming the nation after herself. She selfishly lived in luxury at the expense of everyone else, making the land not a good place to visit.
- Lady of Black Magic: Though she leads a navy, her class options focus on magic rather than marine combat.
- Vain Sorceress: Is more or less directly stated to be one, which becomes part of the reason why she makes for a bad ruler in her ending on the Imperial Path.
Vargas
Voiced by: Daisuke Gōri (original), Ryuunosuke Watanuki (remake)
A general of Rayguard. His father, also a serviceman, died in a pitched battle, and his death has given Vargas something of an honor complex. He is playable only in the Imperial path, as are the other four Generals of the Empire.Class: Fighter

Jessica's former apprentice, now the great magician leader of the spiritualist troops of the Rayguard Empire. He seeks ultimate power, and that desire gnaws at his very soul.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Despite his use of dark magic and antagonism towards the party in his early appearances, his intentions are actually quite good.
- Expy: Of Ser Galious, the previous game's right-hand sorcerer with a tall hat serving the Kaiser, with intimate knowledge on unsealing Alhazard. However, the remake of I shows there is at least one key difference: Ser Galious' true allegiance was with the demons.
- A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: He was Jessica's apprentice until he joined the Rayguard Empire.
- Secretly Dying: After his death towards the end of the Light Path, Jessica reveals that he was already dying from overuse of dark magic in his attempts to make sure Bozel would never rise to power again.

He rejoins in the Imperial, Chaos, and Independent Paths.Class: Gladiator
- Face–Heel Turn: He was a mercenary fighting the Empire and a helpful ally of Elwin in the early part of the game but once he learned that Sonya is fighting alongside the Empire, he joined them instead. If Elwin remains in the Light path, they will fight as enemies.
