A mysterious mercenary whom Adol encounters in the sixth game. He is famous for his skill with pole-arms and talismans. He seems to be knowledgeable about strange events that are happening in the Vortex of Canaan.
- Continuity Cameo: He makes a brief appearance in Monstrum Nox's ending montage.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Although he wears all black and is bit of a jerk, he is a man with good intentions, especially considering that he is also a member of the Clan of Darkness.
- Duel Boss: In Ys SEVEN, he's one of the few bosses to fight Adol one-on-one, despite the party system.
- Fairy Companion: The artificial faeries Xisa, Sera, and Jue follow him after the events of Ys VI, as per the final orders of their creator, Ernst.
- Family Honor: He tried to preserve what is left of his family honor by trying to stop his evil brother.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's initially hostile towards Adol due to the latter being a meddling do-gooder, but still respects him for being a Worthy Opponent. He's also trying to prevent his brother from taking control of Napishtim and potentially causing a global flood.
- Jerkass Has a Point: He's not entirely wrong when he points out that Adol will get hurt if he sticks his nose into every problem he comes across, especially when Scias takes advantage of Adol's interactions with the king of Altago.
- Mighty Glacier: Compared to other characters who wield slashing weapons in Ys SEVEN, he is stronger, slower, and tougher than the rest. However, he is still faster than the other characters with striking weapons.
- Private Military Contractors: He is a mercenary.
- Red Baron: The Black Mercenary
- The Rival: He quickly becomes one to Adol.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He tries to do this in Seven once he realizes that Adol is the one destined to fight Big Bad for the fate of Altago, not him, but ends up staying due to some persuasion from Clarius, his boss.

Ernst
Voiced by (PS2): Kenta Matsumoto (JP), Brian Dobson (EN)
Voiced by (Ys SEVEN Drama CD): Satoshi Tsuruoka
Voiced by (Online): Tomokazu Seki
A Romun general who leads the Romun troop to the land of Canaan. He seems to have some connection to Geis.
- Aloof Big Brother: He's initially shown to be cold and dismissive towards his younger brother Geis.
- Bad Boss: He always intended to betray Romn and has no issue with letting Galba-Roa sink his fleet.
- Big Bad: He's the true main villain of Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim.
- BFS: His weapon, the black key Almarion, is long black sword.
- Black Sheep: Like Gruda, he seeks dangerous ancient powers that most of his fellow clansmen rejected.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Unlike Dalles and Gruda, who are also Darkling leaders, Ernst is far less sociopathic, as shown by how he couldn't bring himself to kill Geis and is able to admit his mistakes rather than cling to Eldeenian artifacts to the bitter end.
- Deity of Human Origin: He becomes a Physical God when he gains the power of the ark.
- Disappears into Light: His final fate after letting Adol pass into the control room of Napishtim.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Ys: Memories of Celceta reveals that Ernst is originally from Danan, was Frieda's fiancée and left the village with Gruda when the latter rebelled, taking the Black Key with him.
- Fairy Companion: He has three faeries named Xisa, Sera, and Jue that cause most of the troubles in the land of Canaan. These faeries are bequeathed to his brother Geis when he dies.
- Leitmotif: The appropriately named "Ernst" plays during the battle against him.
- Man Behind the Man: He is responsible for leading the Romun troops into the Canaan and having the three fairies break the seal on Napishtim.
- Power Gives You Wings: He uses Almarion to gain black wings similar to those of the Eldeen.
- Villain Respect: You know how famous Adol has gotten when Ernst starts listing every of Adol's feats as they're about to fight each other.
- Weak, but Skilled: Compared to the other bosses beyond the Point of No Return on Hard and Nightmare, Ernst is not nearly as "strong," since Galba-Roa and Napishtim get STR increases that are separate from the difficulty's damage multiplier. However, his attack patterns are much harder to dodge, making him difficult despite having lower stats on paper.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Downplayed; he enacted his entire plan both because he wanted a power-trip and because he wanted to control Napishtim to ensure that it doesn't go berserk. Of course, his plans become a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy when he ends up overloading Almarion and loses control of the ark.
- Wolfpack Boss: Fights alongside his three homunculi faeries.
