=== Characters in the remake, Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis: ===

Leon
"A soft-spoken amnesiac with an impeccable sense of honour."

As before, he is the main character, but is even more of a Supporting Protagonist than in the original. He is very quiet and stoic, and also had his memory wiped before being brought to the prison of Stynx. While there, he is befriended by Scott and Violet, and opts to travel with them throughout the game, generally going along with whatever they tell him to do. He also seems to be very concerned about Erin, and tries to help her on many occasions, even against reason. However, neither are explicitly in love with one another like they were in the original.

He is very moral, an oddity in the Crapsack World that is Ceres.

"An ancient entity who has seen the worst of human nature."

The Man Behind the Man who orchestrated the entire game's plot from behind the scenes. She is a variant, an entity made up entirely of psychokinesis. This gives her godlike power compared to humans, but relegates her to areas thick with psychokinesis, similarly to how humans need air (this is why she needs to execute her plans indirectly through Mind Control). Celia's ability to suppress psychokinetic energy is her Archilles Heel, for obvious reasons.

Her master plan is to cause a war between the Rebellion and Kugar's empire, which has the dual purpose of slowing down exploration, therefore keeping herself hidden, and cause the energy and willpower of humans to blossom due to the pressures of strife. She then plans to harvest this energy over many years in order to create a portable, compressed spaceship of psychokinetic energy that she can use to travel across the stars. What she plans to do after that is never explained.
