Player Characters in IV
Landius
His appearance in Mobile
Landius is the primary protagonist of Langrisser IV. He is the only protagonist in the series who is not a Descendant of Light; however, he is still able to harness the full power of the Langrisser sword.
He was born in Recrio village, a riverside hamlet on the frontier of the Regenburg Federation. Recrio was a village inhabited by more than just regular humans, and Landius and his sister Emily were washed away from the village when Aizel flooded it.
In Langrisser V, he is allied with the Kingdom of Caconsis.
- Official Couple: With Listell, as they are Matthew's ancestors.
- Secret Legacy: It's revealed that his ancestors are not native to the land, and are in fact Crimzonians, people that came from Crimzo, the Red Moon.
Ricky
The true son of the Gohtal village chief, who calls Landius his older brother and Rachel his older sister. He is somewhat a narcissist and a ladies' man, and is a little too trusting. He ends up falling for Shelfaniel and, because of that, becomes involved in the fate of Caconsis kingdom.
Mc Claine
McClaine is a wandering mercenary who joins the entourage early in the story of Langrisser IV. One day, while walking through a forest with his sister, they were both knocked out and abducted by Omega. The result of a year of experiments while trapped in Gizlof's laboratory replaced the left side of McClaine's body with machinery, turning him into a cyborg. The people in his village were terrified of him and drove him out. From then on he grew out his hair to cover his robotic left eye.
In Langrisser V, he is allied with the Kingdom of Caconsis. He is still searching for his sister Mariandel.
Angelina
A princess of the kingdom of Caconsis. She is the younger sister of Shelfaniel, and the daughter of King Caconsis and Queen Caconsis.
In Langrisser V, she is still alongside her sister in the Kingdom of Caconsis.
Shelfaniel
A princess of the kingdom of Caconsis. She is the elder sister of Angelina and the daughter of King Caconsis and Queen Caconsis.
In Langrisser V, she is now ruling the Kingdom of Caconsis.
- Hidden Buxom: Her standard attire makes her look flatchested, while some of her alternate outfits in Mobile show that she is stacked, especially with her Valentines Dress.
- Princess Classic: Born with a natural grace that her parents encouraged, making her a better successor to the throne than her sister.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Girly Girl to her sister.
Rachel
Ricky's elder sister. While not of direct blood relation, she always calls Landius her elder brother. When Gizlof attacked Gotahl village, her father, the village chief, boarded her up in the church to protect her. However, she was still kidnapped by Gizlof. She's very innocent and a little childish.
Serena
A general in the Caconshis army. She has feelings for Wiler; though never expressed, you can hear it in her words. She is a very graceful woman. Due to her involvement in the army, she comes to fight alongside with Landius.
Serena appears later in Langrisser V as a general in the Caconshis army, the programmed enemy of Werner and Lambda.
Ranford
His appearance in Mobile
An aristocrat in the military who graduated the Federation academy at the top of his class. He doesn't boast this excellent background. Younger brother of Clifford.
Ranford is also one of the main protagonists of Langrisser V.
Jessica
The avatar of a goddess, that has made appearances throughout the series. See
the main index for more information.
In Langrisser V, she is not tied to any of the main factions.
Listell
Her appearance in Mobile
A mid-ranking commander in the Velzerian forces. Although she does have her own merits, she fails so many missions that Böser treats her as a problem child. After she is defeated by Landius she decides to follow him, since going back to Böser would mean her certain death. She becomes a valuable asset for the team, teaching them about the culture and tactics of the demon tribe.
Knarl
A low-ranking commander in the Velzerian forces who follows Listell. He has the ability to transform into many different kinds of monsters. He joins Landius after being defeated, since going back to Böser would mean his certain death.
Ivar
A 40-year-old self-proclaimed strategist. In actuality, he is a weak and crooked thief. After swindling King Caconsis, he goes independent and is picked up by Böser. Although Böser grants him fantastic power, he is unable to grant Ivar a brain.
Kingdom of Caconsis
Wiler
Admiral of the Caconsis army. He is a brilliant tactician, however he's far too weak to actually participate in battle. After his schooling he began his career with the Caconsis Kingdom as an admiral.
In Langrisser V, he is the programmed enemy of Werner and Mariandel.
Bruno
An able man that struggles to serve the incompetent King Caconsis. In reality, he is a spy sent by Gizlof to facilitate the take over of Caconsis. While he hates King Caconsis, he had nothing against Angelina and Shelfaniel.
King Caconsis
The father of Angelina and Shelfaniel. He never fails to mention or make it clear that he is the king. He's quick to act and slow to think, and that proves to be a bad combination. He sees everyone around him, even his own wife and daughters, as a means to get what he wants with no thought of the consequences. He is easily assuaged by hollow flattery and simple words, which is why Wiler and the others find it far easier to work around him, instead of with him.
Queen Caconsis
The queen of the Caconsis, mother of Angelina and Shelfaniel. She has a gentle personality that is not into politics, but has a keen eye for strategy. She tries to persuade her husband to act, but it's useless.
Regenburg Federation
Gizlof
An extremely ambitious man. For many years he has been making his plans, and that makes him only more effective at carrying them out. He manipulates and uses people to no end.

The son of Gizlof. He is sent all over the place to carry out Gizlof's bidding. After the Death of Aldan, he is to marry Princess Rozenciel which will lead to him becoming the future king, a part of Gizlof's schemes.
Emily
Landius' brother, who was separated from her when Aizel flooded Recrio village. Her parents give both her and Landius a pendant so they might find each other if they survived the flood. With the village ruined and her father dead, Emily is sent to an orphanage, and eventually released to attend a military academy.
In Langrisser V, she is promoted to general by Queen Rozenciel after Ranford is promoted to Marshal. Later in the story, she assists in exposing Russel's plot against Ranford and secures his release from jail.
Cleoness
The Federation king who is reduced to a sickly puppet by Gizlof.

Prince of Regenburg and first in line for the throne, and Princess Rozenciel's younger brother. He doesn't know people very well, and is deprived of his ascension by Gizlof and Kreuger.

In Langrisser V, after the deaths of Fredrick, Kreuger and Gizlof, Rozenciel assumes sole leadership of the Federation and promotes Ranford to marshal and Emily to general. She also appoints Russel (who has been replaced by a demon) as the new prime minister to replace Gizlof.
Valk
A valiant general of Regenburg who climbed the ranks through competence, not status. A friend of Ranford.
Though he dies during the events of IV, Valk is resurrected by Grove in V as a zombie; however, Ranford take his feelings aside and defeats him, making his his good friend finally rest in peace.

The son of the Regenburg Prime Minister and a candidate for marrying princess Rozenciel.
