MARDEK/Characters

Characters of MARDEK.

The Heroes
Where would we be without our protagonists? This folder lists all playable party members.

Mardek Innanu El-Enkidu
"Well, he's a young man from Goznor, who, together with his best friend Deugan, wishes to one day become a Grand Adventurer and go on quests and save people. He's joined the royal guard of Goznor in the hopes that he'll be able to help people like his hero Social Fox once did. He's a bit dim at times, but he's well-meaning and has a big heart."

The Hero of the story, though unlike many heroes, he's a submissive, "leaf-in-a-river" type of person who tends to assume that other people know best, especially since thinking strains his brain sometimes. Also, unlike the other characters, who all have deep personalities and fleshed-out backstories, Mardek is as deep as a puddle.


 * Ascended Fanboy: The first two chapters follow him and Deugan, who have dreamed about being heroes their whole lives, following in the footsteps of their childhood idols.
 * Character Alignment: Lawful Good.
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Disappeared Dad: His father is gone adventuring.
 * Even the Guys Want Him: He has this effect on some NPCs.
 * Foil: To Rohoph.
 * Genre Blind
 * The Hero: But of course. His role in both storyline and battles is greatly subverted, however, as he's a quiet, submissive, "leaf-in-a-river" type of person instead of a Hot-Blooded leader-esque one. He's also The Medic instead of a fighter or Mario like in most Eastern RPGs.
 * Idiot Hero: Played for Laughs.
 * Kindhearted Simpleton
 * Knight in Shining Armor: Albeit one who's a little off when it comes to reality.
 * Leaning On the Fourth Wall: At one point, a character asks if the rest of the party can hear something. If you have the sound off, Mardek comments that he can't hear anything because the sound is off. If the sound is enabled, he'll comment that the music just changed.
 * Light'Em Up
 * Lightning Bruiser: Give him Boots of Celerity or Haste, and Mardek will destroy basically anything in his way. It helps that for 100% completionists, he'll be absurdly overleveled by the end of the game.
 * Magic Knight: In Chapter 3, Mardek can learn Natural-Elemental attacks.
 * The Medic: He becomes more of a Magic Knight from chapter 3 onward, however.
 * Mighty Glacier: Mardek tends to be the slowest member of your party, but by the end of Chapter 2, he can really dish out damage. He can really absorb the hits too. Becomes even more so this during Chapter 3, as with a Dark sword, Soulstrike (for Light), and the elemental slashes, Mardek can strike every elemental weakness that isn't Aether or Fig.
 * Mind Control Eyes: Whenever Rohoph speaks through him, his eyes glow white.
 * Nice Guy
 * Nice Helmet: Complete with an "M!" emblazoned on the front, it's almost humorously cheesy. Then you realize that he uses it to hide the glow in his eyes that appears whenever Rohoph takes over.
 * Sharing a Body: With Rohoph.
 * Stone Wall
 * Spell Blade: While it isn't an actual buff or effect, Mardek's Magic Sword abilities such as Flame Slash and Earth Slash are explained as being sword attacks enchanted by Rohoph's power.
 * Supporting Protagonist: Played with. The other characters do follow him and he is usually at the center of the plot, but he has a carefree, docile personality, and usually just does what other people (especially Rohoph) tell him to do, despite being technically being the leading man.
 * Touched By Annunaki
 * Verbal Tic: Take count of how many sentences he starts with "Well," especially in the first two chapters.
 * Weapon of Choice: A Cool Sword.

Deugan Selmae Eh-Deredu
"Mardek's best friend, an 'adventuring partner'. Together, the two boys aspire to be Grand Adventurers like their hero Social Fox, going on adventures and saving people from dragons and such. Joining the Guard is the closest they've ever got to becoming mighty respected heroes who help people. Deugan's more level-headed and analytical than his friend, and tends to take things more seriously. Though he can be slightly exasperated by Mardek's dim-witted, carefree brashness at times, he's still very loyal to him and values their friendship deeply."

Mardek's childhood friend. The idea of becoming famous heroes was his idea in the first place; Mardek just tagged along with him. He tends to be the one with more passion and drive, and due to Mardek's personality, Mardek follows along with whatever he does. He's also much more serious and level-headed than his friend.


 * Ascended Fanboy: The first two chapters follow him and Mardek, who have dreamed about being heroes their whole lives, following in the footsteps of their childhood idols.
 * Character Alignment: Neutral Good.
 * Dishing Out Dirt
 * Dumb Blond: Inverted.
 * Genius Bruiser: He is arguably the most intelligent and perceptive of the group in chapter 2, while remaining the strongest playable character.
 * He Knows About Timed Hits: He's usually the one to remind you of the controls at the beginning of chapters.
 * The Lancer
 * Leitmotif:, one of THE best character themes ever.
 * Magic Knight
 * Mighty Glacier
 * Weapon of Choice: A greatsword.
 * Weapon of Choice: A greatsword.
 * Weapon of Choice: A greatsword.
 * Weapon of Choice: A greatsword.

Emela Andra Wu-Jardu
"A young woman who served on the Gonzor guard alongside Mardek and Deugan. She joined the Guard at the same time as Mardek and Deugan, and the two mens' eyes have been on her since. She possesses the power to wield elemental magics. She is very shy, and although she claims to have come from Canonia, she is very vague about her past."

""Um, isn't this so, um... unique and strange and not something I've done hundreds of times before! Yeah, wow and stuff! So weird, this walking under the water stuff.""
 * All Girls Want Bad Boys: Inverted.
 * Bad Liar: Her efforts to hide her personal history make this very, very clear. Justified in that, so of course she can't lie;
 * Character Alignment: Lawful Neutral.
 * The Chick
 * Elemental Powers: Can learn four basic Natural Elemental (Fire/Water/Earth/Air) spells.
 * Leitmotif: Emela
 * Making a Splash: She's able to use magic of all elements, though she specializes in this.
 * Mysterious Past: She does a piss-poor job of hiding the fact that she has one.
 * Heroes Want Redheads
 * Redheaded Hero
 * Squishy Wizard: One of the best there is, as she's able to use spells from all elements.
 * Suspiciously Specific Denial: Her attempts to cover up her Mysterious Past.
 * Suspiciously Specific Denial: Her attempts to cover up her Mysterious Past.


 * Weapon of Choice: A wand.

Vehrn Juonour El-Ganobyi
"A devoted Yalortian paladin from the southern lands. He was sent on a mission to explore the mysterious outbreak of monsters in Canonia, and the missing shaman, as the priests that he serves sensed that evil was afoot...

The typical paladin, Vehrn is self-righteous, arrogant, blindly religious and devoted to his cause. He means well and lives to help others, but he lives to serve and merely obeys his orders without thinking for himself, calling those who oppose his masters 'heathens' and suchlike."

Like the blurb says, he's annoyingly arrogant, and extremely devoted to his religion. If you level him up enough, he'll constantly pester Mardek to become a Yalortian. You'll also find out that he.


 * Character Alignment: Lawful Good.
 * Covert Pervert: He feels Elywen up in the Dark Temple if you take both of them there. Though the "covert" part is debatable as he has no problems with them knowing he did it.
 * The Fundamentalist: Parodied.
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has an unexplained scar on one of his eyebrows.
 * Holier Than Thou: A big part of his personality; at least he's fairly well-meaning.
 * Idiot Hero
 * Leitmotif: Vehrn
 * Light'Em Up
 * Magic Knight
 * Pride
 * Weapon of Choice: A Cool Sword.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: He has purple hair.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: He has purple hair.

Zach Ursus Ae-Jarino
"A battle-hardened mercenary from lands afar. He doesn't speak much at all, so his past is a complete mystery, though it seems as if he's been scarred deeply or he's learned to suppress his emotions...

He kills for money and will slaughter whoever his employer wishes to without remorse."

A battle-hardened mercenary from far away lands, Zach rarely shows emotion and speaks even less. He can be hired at various taverns and inns throughout the series for various sums of money. He holds very little respect for his employers, though, over time, he does recognize Mardek as an exception.


 * Awesome but Impractical: Given that the majority of major enemies in Chapter 2 are undead, including all bosses from the point you can recruit him, Vehrn tends to be much more useful.
 * Bald of Awesome
 * Career Killer: Kinda, he's a mercenary who will work for whoever pays up, and he has no qualms about killing.
 * Character Alignment: Lawful Neutral.
 * Crippling Overspecialization: He has no magical skills. At all. He only has a single attack that uses Mana, and at very generous rate. But he has a cool double sword.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: See Mysterious Past below. It's strongly suggested that his past is one of these, as he claims to avoid making emotional connections with other people because "less people get hurt that way".
 * Facial Markings: Has a claw-mark tattoo above one of his eyebrows.
 * Glass Cannon:
 * He starts out as one, having no defensive reactions and high attack when you first recruit him. Luckily, it'll probably only take you a couple dungeons to catch him up to everyone else.
 * By the end, he can get up to 70% physical evasion. With sufficient magic resistance from armor and the like, this glass cannon goes into Awesome but Practical domain. More so if you let him rake in enough kills, as he has a move that gets stronger the more kills he has.
 * Hell-Bent for Leather: He comes pre-equipped with spiked leather armor, and his sprite/portrait is always wearing it as well.
 * Jerkass: Somewhat. His reply to meeting you again in Chapter 3?
 * Leitmotif: Zach. Notable for how it is also slightly similar to Shadow's theme.
 * Lost Forever: It's quite possible to be completely in the dark about his existence, and you can't recruit him in Chapter 2 once
 * Meaningful Name: His middle name, 'Ursus'.
 * Mysterious Past: He definitely has one. Too bad he isn't too keen on telling it to you.
 * Optional Party Member: The only true one in both games, and lampshaded if you talk to him in Chapter 3 without meeting him in Chapter 2.
 * Overshadowed By Awesome: In Chapter 2. He is a useful character in his own right, but Vehrn's Disrupt Undead/Silver Sword/Quarry: Undead combo lets him one-hit more or less every enemy in the endgame.
 * Proud Warrior Race Guy: From his armor to his attitude, he acts like one, at least. Said exactly word for word in dialogue.
 * Scary Black Man:
 * A customer in the bar you recruit him in outright calls him one. And Zach fits the bill pretty well, since any character that comments on him will always mention how frightening and/or ruthless he looks.
 * Heck, Mardek's mother outright tells him that she'd prefer if Mardek didn't hang around Zach at all.
 * Shout-Out: He's basically a big, walking Shout-Out to Shadow. How you hire him, the comments that people make in the bar, the fact that he keeps his past mostly to himself...
 * The Stoic: He rarely speaks at all and refuses to elaborate on his past.
 * Weapon of Choice: A staff with a blade on each end.
 * The Stoic: He rarely speaks at all and refuses to elaborate on his past.
 * Weapon of Choice: A staff with a blade on each end.

Donovan Gonoru Fa-Alregis
"One of the Royal Guard recruits who signed up at the same time as Mardek and Deugan. He has long hair. He's a natural leader-type, naturally taking charge in missions, but does a good job of it and treats his teammates with respect."


 * Badass Goatee
 * Character Alignment: Lawful Good.
 * Crippling Overspecialization: He can only cast spells from a single element. While this makes him very useful in areas with enemies vulnerable to Fire, he isn't useful for much else. Shame there are hardly any areas where monsters have a consistent weakness to fire (some are merely areas filled with undead already covered by the another specialized character, Vehrn), and several areas where enemies are resistant or immune to fire.
 * Poor Predictable Fire
 * The Hero: His personality is not too far off from this, in fact, he's probably more fit for leadership than Mardek is, as shown by his excellent command of his fellow knights in the beginning Chapter 2.
 * Knight in Shining Armor
 * Leitmotif: Duet, shared with Sharla.
 * Long-Haired Pretty Boy
 * Playing With Fire
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: He's pretty friendly and gets along well with Mardek. Talk to Mardek's mom with him in the party and she reveals Mardek genuinely respects and looks up to him.
 * Squishy Wizard
 * Weapon of Choice: A spear.
 * Squishy Wizard
 * Weapon of Choice: A spear.
 * Weapon of Choice: A spear.
 * Weapon of Choice: A spear.

Sharla Qualle Ae-Andrias
"A quiet girl who signed up to join the Guard at the same time as Mardek and Deugan. She's exceedingly shy and rarely speaks at all, and seems quite mild-mannered and kind of heart. She joined the Guard to help and heal people rather than destroy. She seems to have feelings for Donovan."

"Mystery Man: Hey Sharla, babeh. Take yer top off and come over here and I'll let you live.
 * All Girls Want Bad Boys: If you have Sharla in your party when facing the Mystery Man the first time, you get this exchange:

Sharla: He's such a charmer! I might be falling for him!"


 * Blow You Away / Shock and Awe
 * Character Alignment: Neutral Good.
 * Crippling Overspecialization: She can only cast spells from a single element. While this makes her very useful in areas with enemies vulnerable to Air, she isn't too useful anywhere else, though she has a leg-up on Donovan by usually having a neutral element, healing ability, and the fairly versatile Gust Shield. Really, you just don't want to take her to the Fire Temple.
 * Poor Predictable Air
 * Leitmotif: Duet, shared with Donovan.
 * Nice Girl: Calling her the nicest character in the cast would not be an exaggeration.
 * The Quiet One: However, it's because of her docile, inoffensive personality rather than some Dark and Troubled Past or something like that.
 * Squishy Wizard
 * Weapon of Choice: A spear.

Elwyen Sirene Wu-Nympha
"A young girl who lost her parents to a curse from the Lake Hag. She likes to sing. After Mardek defeated the Lake Hag, Elwyen fell for him, and the two have remained good friends since then. Mardek visits Elwyen frequently between his missions, but she tires of village life and longs to travel with him in order to partake in the exciting adventures that fill his life rather than just hearing about them in his stories.

Though she is not an actual siren by blood, she likes the sound of the word and calls herself a 'siren'. She uses harp music to significantly affect the playing field in battle."

"Elwyen: Maaardeeeek! I'm all covered in sweat, all wet and glistening and it's making me squirm around! Why aren't you watching?
 * Attention Whore: Only with Mardek, however.

Mardek: Well, we're sort of on an adventure here...

Elwyen: I still wish you'd ogle me lustfully all the time, just like you used to!

Mardek: I don't remember ever doing that...

Elwyen: IN MY DREAMS YOU DID!!!"

"Elwyen: Maybe it's why I like you so much... You're a challenge. You're so much better than the other guys in my village because I DON'T have full control over you. I can't take the easy way, and... that's love, right?! Right?! It must be!"
 * Character Alignment: Chaotic Neutral.
 * Clingy Jealous Girl
 * Damsel in Distress: Defied, or at least she's hoping to defy it.
 * Foil: To Gloria, her best friend who has a completely opposite personality (and almost on an element and alignment basis, too!).
 * I Love You Because I Can't Control You: Scarily enough.

"Elwyen: You've got friends like me now, Mardek! You don't NEED [Deugan] anymore! I can be a better friend anyway. I actually CARE about you, and, and... And I can show you a sort of appreciation and fun that he never could, wink wink. Unless he ever did?! Eww! Mardek! I shouldn't have thought of that! It is pretty hot though, now that I think of it another way."
 * Leitmotif: Siren Song
 * Magikarp Power: May look useless at first, but if you get sheet music for her, she is one of the most powerful party members. To elaborate: her skills allow her to damage enemies once their turn starts, ignoring defences and resistances. Particularly effective against Pixies.
 * Meaningful Name: Sirene Nympha needs little explanation, considering how she's a Siren class and she practically throws herself at Mardek.
 * Musical Assassin: And she's damn good at it, too. One of her abilities allows her to deal damage to all enemies every time they get a move, ignoring resistances and defence. Slaughters the Demonic Spiders of the game (low HP, high resistances and defense) in a turn or two. A different version of the same skill functions exactly the same, but only works on undead and does 4 times as much damage.
 * No Pronunciation Guide: Subverted. She tells you her name is pronounced "el-oo-ee-en" in one of her P-dialogues.
 * Quote Mine: She is very happy when she can quote Mardek telling her she's hot. Note that Mardek was telling her this in a volcano.
 * Reverse Hikaru Genji Plan: She tries to do this with Mardek. He's completely oblivious, of course.
 * Shipper On Deck: Only with people who get in the way of her relationship with Mardek, though.
 * Small Town Boredom
 * Status Buff: A few of her songs do this, increasing simple stats such as defense and attack.
 * Stripperiffic
 * The Tease
 * Weapon of Choice: Harps. She can actually hit monsters with her harp, but much more effective is the Requiem and Dolorous Dirge skills/songs.
 * Yaoi Fangirl: Sort of.

Gloria Eh-Korey
"Elwyen's best friend. She's kind, caring, and mild-mannered...completely unlike her brother. She was always teased by him, and considered him a negative role-model; she specifically made sure that she had none of the negative traits that he so obviously possessed.

Gloria always felt that she was 'at one with nature', and used to visit the Canonia shaman regularly... The position of shaman must pass on to another person whenever a shaman dies, and this other is chosen by the planet. Gloria was selected to take over from the old Canonia shaman, and now spends her time in the Shaman's Cave, solving minor village disputes, brewing potions, and et cetera."


 * Character Alignment: Lawful Neutral.
 * Deadpan Snarker: By and far the snarkiest person in the entire series.
 * Elemental Powers: Can use all 4 Natural Elements.
 * Everyone Is Related: P-key dialogue reveals that.
 * Foil: To both Elywen (best friend, almost complete opposite personality) and )
 * Green Thumb
 * Leitmotif: Nature's Maiden
 * May September Romance: Meraeador is 31. She's 17.
 * Nature Hero: Unsurprising, as she is a shaman who is in tune with the planet.
 * Small Town Boredom: Not only bored, but annoyed by how every guy in town wants to bang her.
 * Squishy Wizard: Subverted. She's weak, but surprisingly durable.
 * Weapon of Choice: A Simple Staff.
 * What the Hell, Hero?: She calls out Meraeador on using an evil, eldritch spell that rips a soul out from the afterlife and binds it to be the caster's eternal slave. She does agree to cast it after Meraeador does a bit of explaining, however.

Meraeador Dunsin Fa-Doch
"Goznor's resident eccentric inventor. He s-s-speaks with a s-s-s-stutter. He's a skilled machinist, and spends most of his time constructing odd clockwork mechanical creatures. He claims that one day they'll be used in homes and on battlefields all over Belfan, though he despises the latter part if it's true. He's a pacifist, y'see.

Though most of the inhabitants of Goznor shun him due to their fear of the unknown and the unnatural, Mardek and Deugan have taken an interest in his work, for which he is glad."


 * Character Alignment: Neutral Good.
 * Crippling Overspecialization: He can only equip two inventions! He can only use three skills at any one time!
 * Deadly Gas: His Gas Gun that you can make is actually a pretty useful weapon early on, as about any enemy can be poisoned as of Chapter 3.
 * Fire-Breathing Weapon: You can build a flamethrower for him at his toolbench.
 * Gadgeteer Genius: He becomes this once he joins your party.
 * Knockout Gas: The Sleep Gas Gun is another invention you can build for him.
 * Leitmotif: The Inventor.
 * Mad Scientist: He is pretty close to this at times. In fact, he pretty much goes mad with ideas for inventions if you speak to him within the volcano.
 * Magikarp Power: He may look useless at first, but take the time to build some of his inventions and he quickly becomes one of the most useful characters. His problem of only being able to use two skills at once remains a problem, however, and his poor variety in attacks can deny him killing blows. As a bonus, he can repair Legion in battle if they're on the same team, giving Legion a slew of stat bonuses.
 * May September Romance: Gloria is 17. He's 31.
 * Playing With Fire
 * Speech Impediment: His aforementioned st-st-stuttering.
 * Technical Pacifist:
 * Justified due to his Dark and Troubled Past; see above. Also discussed in one of his P-dialogues, where he says that he has no qualms about killing monsters, since they don't have minds (they're made instead of a substance called "miasma"). Why he's okay with killing bandits, however, is anyone's guess.
 * Lampshaded in the very same discussion with him, where Mardek comments about how pacifists are supposed to be opposed to all violence, and Meraeador snaps at him for his pedantry.
 * Also lampshaded in the description for the Flamethrower. "Mwahaha! Meraeador's such a pacifist."
 * This Is a Drill: Another weapon/gadget you can build for him, though the 'drill' part is a bit hard to find.
 * Also lampshaded in the description for the Flamethrower. "Mwahaha! Meraeador's such a pacifist."
 * This Is a Drill: Another weapon/gadget you can build for him, though the 'drill' part is a bit hard to find.

Sslen'ck Ea-Sslenal
"The twenty-sixth chieftain of Xantusia. He is honourable, fair, and strongly devoted to his people. He doesn't trust humans, but is willing to put his personal feelings aside to accomplish a goal, which he sees as more important. He has a deep fear of the undead for some reason.

Like all reptoids, he is a hermaphrodite; that is, he has no singular sex or gender. Reptoids are generally referred to as 'he' anyway, though."

Sslen'ck is first encountered in the lower chambers of the Sun Temple, the final boss of the area. He along with two other reptoids attack Mardek, Donovan and Sharla, believing them to be the cause of the dark creatures unleashed. Upon his defeat, he learns that Mardek and company are not to blame. He invites them to his village, of which he is chief, and joins them on their quest after their arrival, leaving Blatantly Evil Chancellor in charge of Xantusia.


 * Character Alignment: Lawful Neutral.
 * Defeat Equals Friendship
 * Dishing Out Dirt
 * Fantastic Racism: Two-sided, but he learns many of the stereotypes are untrue by Level 29.
 * Flunky Boss
 * Horrible Judge of Character: Given that he appointed someone literally named "Blatantly Evil Chancellor" to be his right-hand man, he's probably this.
 * Playing With Fire: Uses a couple of Fire-elemental attacks to suplement his Physical skills.
 * Leitmotif: Sslen'ck
 * Mighty Glacier
 * Proud Warrior Race Guy
 * Redemption Demotion: Averted; he's just as strong when he joins as when he's fought.
 * Snake Talk
 * Weapon of Choice: A greataxe.
 * Why Did It Have To Be Undead?: He can't stand zombies.

Solaar - IXth of Lupidar
"Solaar is a... strange talking wolf thing. Odd. His - her? - fur seems to glow with a pleasant light, and she twitches nervously every so often. His rapid, idiosyncratic speech and fidgety mannerisms suggest she's constantly anxious, almost paranoid... or maybe he's just energetic?

All Mardek knows of her is that he claims to be the dark crystal guardian... Odd, considering that she's Light. After the crystal was stolen, he came along with Mardek in order to take it back. She seems to be overly concerned with failing to protect the crystal... but what does he fear?"

Solaar is first encountered, wounded, in the dark temple, in front of the chamber to the dark crystal. Xe challenged the Mystery Man to protect the crystal, but lost. Xe is then healed by Mardek - or Sharla, if she has learned Healing Wind - and joins the party to defeat the Mystery Man and find the other crystals under King Gonoroth's orders.

"Forgivify me, for I have failn!"
 * Ambiguous Gender: Or rather, no gender at all.
 * Badass Adorable
 * Character Alignment: Lawful Good.
 * Glass Cannon: To the extreme. Xe has, hands down, the best skillset in the game (chapter 3's only resurrection spell and offensive light spell, among others), but combines this with absolutely atrocious stats. Xe has extremely low health and very limited equipment, meaning that xe keels over if the enemy so much as pokes xim.
 * Leitmotif: Solaar
 * Light'Em Up
 * Magikarp Power: Xe has abysmal Vitality, turning xim into a Glass Cannon with too much emphasis on the "glass" part to be very useful. However, if you give xim equipment that boosts Vitality (the Green Stole + 6, in particular), xyr HP is raised enough to make xim and xyr amazing skills useable.
 * Mysterious Past: Xe mentions the trope by name as part of a Suspiciously Specific Denial.
 * Squishy Wizard: See Glass Cannon.
 * Status Buff: Solaar's Spirit Graft skill increases a character's spirit in battle, which can be used with devastating effect in conjunction with your party's spellcasters.
 * Token Non-Human(oid)
 * Weapon of Choice: Wolverine Claws.
 * Voice of the Legion: Xis chat text even replicates an echoing effect in text!
 * You No Take Candle: Xe is somewhere between this and Strange Syntax Speaker.

"Solaar: Oh wowsers! A village-town of human beings! They all seem to be livifying life to a non-minimal extent, if you would care to capture my drifting!
 * This is lampshaded if you talk to xim in Goznor.

Mardek: ...Huh?

Solaar: Even I don't know what I meaned by that one."

Legion
"Meraeador's invention, which he worked on for several years before using dark magic to trap a soul in it...but, due to his stutter, he accidentally summoned four souls, which now share the same body.

The 'red soul' is Baron von Doomkill; a man who seems to have once been some cruel tyrant or dictator. He's very evil, and would like nothing more than to use his new super-body to wreak destruction and cause misery to the world once more.

The 'blue soul' is a female shaman named Deena. She is one of Gloria's predecessors, acting as the Canonia shaman in ages past. She is wise and fair, and willing to help out where she can.

The 'purple soul' seems to be a depressive individual known as 'Miserable Ol' Martin'. He seems to be incapable of happiness, and does nothing but complain about how hopeless everything is and how hard things are for him.

There's also a strange 'yellow soul', Bostolm, who seems deranged, insane..."

"Legion: OH NOOOOOO!!!!! PIXIES LIVE HERE!!!!! AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! And fairies. I don't mind fairies. They're nice. But PIXIES?!? THEY DIG IN MY MIIIIIND!!! But they won't find any chocolate! Hee! HEE."
 * Catch Phrase: Martin's "Gods, I'm depressed."
 * Character Alignment: "Mixed", which is fitting considering the souls inside of him.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Bostolm.
 * Doomy Dooms of Doom: Baron von Doomkill.
 * Driven to Suicide: Heavily implied with Bostolm, who was driven so insane by pixies digging in his mind that he "drilled them out of [his] head".
 * Evil Overlord: Baron von Doomkill was this in life.
 * Expy: Baron Von Doomkill is somewhat of a expy of Doctor Doom, while Martin is one of Marvin, the clinically depressed robot.
 * Four-Temperament Ensemble: All in one character! The Baron is Choleric, Deena is Phlegmatic, Martin is Melancholic, and Bostolm is Sanguine. The souls' colours even correspond to their temperaments'!
 * Go Mad From the Isolation:
 * Gone Horribly Wrong: The spell malfunctioned, trapping four souls in one body. Though in the long run it could end up having Gone Horribly Right.
 * Large Ham: Baron von Doomkill.
 * Leitmotif: Legion
 * Mega Manning
 * Mighty Glacier
 * Name's the Same: No, not that Legion, but they are rather similar (mechanical beings that hosts multiple beings/programs).
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: "Baron von Doomkill".
 * Only Sane Woman: Deena plays this role out of the four souls in Legion, as while she has her own issues and tragic backstory, she isn't mentally insane like Bostolm, clinically depressed like Martin, or sociopathically violent like Doomkill.
 * Possessed Mechanical Construct Buddy
 * Sharing a Body: Played for Laughs, where all the souls are very confused as to what's going on and have to get used to the others.
 * Smug Snake: Baron von Doomkill.
 * Speech Impediment: Doomkill apparently has issues pronouncing '-er'. So you get lines from him which are along the lines of, "Powah! Unlimited powah! Cowah beneath the might of Baron von Doomkill!"
 * The Battle Didn't Count: Apparently all four of the souls encountered a Grim Reaper in some sort of bizarre afterlife. Doomkill challenged him to a battle, of course, which Doomkill lo- "let him win."
 * The Von Trope Family: Baron von Doomkill.
 * Weapon of Choice: A Power Fist, one of which is a buzzsaw.
 * Why Did It Have To Be Pixies?: Bostolm starts screaming incoherently whenever he's near a pixie. To quote his P-dialogue in the Lifewood:


 * Though his fear of pixies isn't exactly irrational.

The Villains
Villainous characters native to Belfan. They tend to be of lesser importance and aren't very dangerous, at least compared to the Governance de Magi.

Muriance Pharezos Ae-Bross
"A rather inept and overly dramatic bandit chief. He searches for the legendary elemental crystals, and uses people to help him find them, as he can't be bothered doing any dirty work himself. He's somewhat generically 'Evil', but in a Classical Villain sort of way; that is, he'd happily reveal his entire Evil Plan to the heroes in a monologue before attacking, and he'd never kill an adversary without a fair fight. He's cowardly though, and often flees at the first sign of real danger."

A recurring villain who tirelessly searches for the elemental crystals. However, he doesn't actually seem to want them as such, and instead seems to be driven to them more out of some sort of urge or instinct rather than conscious choice. Also has dreams in which he is some sort of dog with great power.


 * Battle Theme Music: Muriance Battle
 * Blow You Away / Shock and Awe
 * Card-Carrying Villain
 * Character Alignment: Chaotic Evil.
 * Classic Villain: Though he isn't the main villain, he does fit many of the traits.
 * Gotta Catch Em All: Like his character blurb says, he really wants those elemental crystals.
 * Large Ham
 * Leitmotif: Muriance's Theme
 * Meaningful Name: We've yet to see how meaningful it is, but
 * Most Definitely Not a Villain: He makes several statements to this extent during chapter 3. As a paraphrased example: Oh, yes, of course. He just wants to retrieve some treasures from the temple for the kiddiwinks.
 * Weapon of Choice: A pistol, which is surprising, considering Belfan's medieval setting.

Mystery Man /
"He's brutish, loutish, and very, very manly. Girls love him because he tends to treat them like dirt. But he's manly..

He's supremely arrogant and egotistical, believing that nobody but him is deserving to lead, that violence is the answer to everything, and that girls can't get enough of him. He beats people up mainly for the fun of it, and just so he could legally assault people 'and maybe pick up some chicks'..."

The Mystery Man is a character who is completely new and was not in any chapters earlier than the third, definitely. He is completely enigmatic and totally not another character veiled in a Paper-Thin Disguise!

Anyway, as the blurb says above, he's a Jerkass, and stole the dark crystal for his own purposes. However, he can't seem to actually use its power for some reason...


 * All Girls Want Bad Boys:
 * He apparently thinks so, though this is inverted by Emela, who hates him with a vengeance and constantly rejects his advances.
 * Played straight with Sharla, much to the rage of Donovon if you take both of them to fight the Mystery Man the first time.
 * Anti-Hero: Type V
 * Battle Theme Music: "Bring It!"
 * Character Alignment: Chaotic Evil.
 * Climax Boss: He comes at a small climax, but still one nonetheless.
 * Cluster F-Bomb: His profanities are censored, however.
 * Dangerously Genre Savvy:
 * Dark Is Edgy
 * Eyepatch of Power
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has a scar across his eye, implying that he suffered from Eye Scream.
 * Good Old Fisticuffs
 * Jerkass: To the extreme. Just read his character blurb up there.
 * Jerk Jock
 * Leitmotif: Pugnacious Ruffian. Notable in that it uses instruments and techniques that the author dislikes, due to the fact that he hates Steele's character as well.
 * Paper-Thin Disguise: If you've played the second chapter, it should be extremely obvious who he is.

Saul Du-Xesphthar
"A peculiar man who lives alone in a House in the Canonia Woods. He is a Necromancer, and, typical of his sort, has a morbid fascination with death and corpses. He acquires many dead bodies from who-knows-where - perhaps from the victims he lures into his trap? - and animates them as undead to act as servants, warriors, and even friends... They make great listeners, but due to the whole mindlessness thing, they aren't much good at putting forward their own opinion. He talks as if narrating his own life, though his wording is pretentious and self-aggrandising."

To put it short, Saul is a mentally insane individual whom you must track down for the quest to create Legion, Meraeador's 'Metal Man'. Saul has kept a certain Tome of Eldritch Lore from the library of Aeropolis 'far' past its due date. Unfortunately, Meraeador needs that book to make Legion, so the party is forced to track him down to his house deep within the Canonia Woods to borrow it. Of course, even though Meraeador offers to return it once he's done, Saul refuses to loan it to him. And so you have to make it through his hordes of undead minions to take it from him...

"Saul: That would be I, answered Saul affirmatively. What of this?, he went on further to ask, the ivory protuberances of his gaunt visage lit eerily by the dim torchlight; the furry dark caterpillars of his brow dancing in antipode to suggest particular suspicion; wanting for an answer that does not test his patience and his undead..."
 * Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: His crimes throughout Chapter 3? Raising the dead, lead army of said dead to conquer Belfan, and not turning in his library book on time.
 * Badass Longcoat
 * Bald of Evil
 * Bond Villain Stupidity: Leaves you alone to die in his zombie filled dungeon. That has holes in the side of the walls and is easily escapable. All when he could have finished you off right then and there.
 * Card-Carrying Villain: The guy could probably match Skeletor for lack of subtlety.
 * Character Alignment: Neutral Evil.
 * Everything's Deader With Zombies: His dungeon is one of two undead-centered ones in the game. While zombie enemies do appear elsewhere (such as ), his is explicitly zombie-centered.
 * Evilly Affable: As long as you remember that his dungeon is a ZOMBIE themed dungeon and bring the right characters and take the right precautions, you will most likely enjoy every hammy minute of it.
 * Evil Albino: He appears to be one, as his irises appear to be some shade of off-white.
 * Evil Counterpart: He and Mereador are both Mad Scientist types who are somewhat shunned by most of the people of their homes. They both have some sort of verbal tic or irregularity. However, while Saul clearly went mad somewhere down the line, Mereador had Mardek and Duegan to keep him from going insane from loneliness.
 * Evil Is Hammy: Oh yes.
 * Expy: Of Moric, mainly due to both being necromancers.
 * Fur and Loathing: His coat appears to have a fur trim on the back. Black, of course.
 * Last-Note Nightmare: The end of his leitmotif is one very loud, almost screechlike note.
 * Leitmotif: Saul. And it fits him perfectly, to boot.
 * Necromancer: It's his in-game class, too.
 * Obviously Evil
 * One-Scene Wonder: He hams it up for one quest in Chapter 3, and then he's mysteriously gone for the rest of the chapter. Only time will tell how big of a part he'll play in Chapter 4...
 * Personality Powers: His powers match his personality, violently psychotic and with no respect for human life.
 * Purple Prose: See Third Person Person below.
 * Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Somewhat. Since he uses Purple Prose, he ends up using a bunch of unneededly large words.
 * Skeletons in The Coat Closet: Somewhat. He doesn't seem to wear actually bones on his person, but he 'does' have at least one skull-shaped earring.
 * Slasher Smile: Though it's more ridiculous than it is creepy.
 * Third Person Person: He takes this further than most.


 * The Unfought: You don't fight him, personally.
 * We Will Meet Again: Before you leave, speaking to him gets you the standard "You'll regret this!" line.

The World's Saviours
A group of heroes introduced in chapter 2. They seem to be searching for the elemental crystals of the world of Belfan, but are for the most part hilariously incompetent at finding them.

Tropes relating to the World's Saviours as a whole:

 * The Battle Didn't Count: Whenever you fight them. The first time, Bartholio even thinks that you're supposed to be a Hopeless Boss Fight.
 * Cliché Storm: Invoked: they're parodies of generic fantasy heroes. Their battle roles even correspond to the default party in the first Final Fantasy!
 * Fake Ultimate Heroes
 * Four-Temperament Ensemble: Bartholio is Choleric, Vennie is Phlegmatic, Aalia is Sanguine, and Bernard is Melancholic.
 * Goldfish Poop Gang: They are shaping up to be an example of this, given how commonly you seem to run into them.
 * Gotta Catch Em All: Like everyone else, they want those elemental crystals.
 * Leitmotif: Worlds' Saviours
 * Plot Coupon: According to the Playing With entry on this, they fit the bill of the described Deconstruction quite well, since they chase after the crystals for the sake of it rather than actually doing anything heroic.
 * Quirky Miniboss Squad
 * Wake Up Call Boss: In Mardek 2. If you don't have a good grasp of how to keep yourself alive by this fight then you're in for some trouble.
 * Wolfpack Boss: Laughably incompetent though they are, they can put up quite a fight.

Bartholio Strongarm El-Mars
"A cornily generic macho Hero man who leads a group of other self-proclaimed 'heroes' that call themselves the 'World's Saviours'. He probably grew up on a farm and always wanted to be a Hero for whatever reason.

He and his party are searching for the Legendary Crystals, merely because that's what Heroes are meant to do. They want more power and glory."

He tends to be somewhat brash and arrogant, comparing your group to common monsters and the like, and he's the only real reason your two groups oppose each other at all.


 * Braggart Boss
 * Character Alignment: Lawful Good.
 * The Hero: Of his own group, perhaps.
 * Large Ham
 * Light'Em Up
 * Meaningful Name: "Strongarm" fits him well; he's the hard-hitter of the Saviours. Also, "Mars" was the name of the Greek god of war.
 * Mighty Glacier
 * Turns Red: If all of his allies fall in battle before he does, he'll use a skill called "Avengeance!", which doubles his strength.
 * Weapon of Choice: A greatsword.

Vennie Vidi Ae-Vicci
"He's a Thief who claims to have a 'Heart of Gold'. How very original.

He's one of the World's Saviours, and appears to be Bartholio's closest ally, but not much else is known about him. He speaks in a bizarre accent; I have honestly no idea what it's supposed to be and I bet you don't either."

As with the others, rather more friendly towards your group than their leader and somewhat silly, at times.


 * Blow You Away
 * Character Alignment: Chaotic Good.
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Fragile Speedster
 * Punny Name: "Veni, vidi, vici."
 * Standard Status Effects: He loves using these on you.
 * Weapon of Choice: A dagger.
 * What the Hell Is That Accent?: Lampshaded in his character blurb.

Aalia Kitregis El-Aureliae
"The typical healing-magic-casting Princess of the World's Saviours.

She seems a bit dim, but is also probably in love with Bartholio, because that would be just typical, wouldn't it?"

A rather ditzy princess type who, for whatever reason, talks in mostly chatspeak. Including emoticons.


 * Character Alignment: Neutral Good.
 * The Ditz
 * Leet Lingo: Including emoticons!
 * Light'Em Up
 * Love Interest: Apparently...
 * Shoot the Medic First: If you want to survive an encounter with the Saviours, slaughter her IMMEDIATELY.
 * Stripperiffic: Her costume consists of a long scarf, a fairly small top with laces in front of the cleavage, hot pants, and knee-high boots.
 * Verbal Tic: Talks in chatspeak, as mentioned.
 * Weapon of Choice: A Simple Staff.
 * White Mage: Healing, shields, the whole lot.
 * White Magician Girl

Bernard Du-Monde
"An old man who doesn't appear to fit in with the Saviours at all... He's a potent spellcaster, but is rather mysterious..."

As said above, not much is known about him, but he doesn't really seem to care much about finding the crystals or any such thing.


 * Bald of Evil: Comb-over of evil, actually.
 * Character Alignment: True Neutral.
 * Dark Is Edgy: He's able to use magic from other elements as well, however.
 * Glass Cannon: Can deal the most damage of any of the Saviours, and to your whole party, no less. But... Yeah.
 * It Amused Me: Really the only reason he does anything, like the zombie at the end of chapter 3, or hanging out with the rest of the Saviours at all.
 * Only Sane Man: Of the Saviours.
 * The Quiet One: Unlike the other Saviours, he's not very talkative.
 * Squishy Wizard
 * Weapon of Choice: A walking stick. No, really.

The Governance de Magi
The Governance de Magi is the ruling body of Anshar, Rohoph's homeworld. They all used to be friends, but the Violet Crystal warped their minds and corrupted them, dividing them and causing them to turn on Rohoph. They're the story's main antagonists.

Tropes relating to the Governance de Magi as a whole:

 * And that's to say nothing of the people the Governance de Magi possesses.
 * Battle Theme Music: GdM Battle
 * Climax Boss: All of them, excluding Rohoph.
 * Elemental Powers: There's one council member for each element, excluding Fig.
 * Evil Is Not Well Lit: The room they're in is rather dark and shadowy.
 * Face Framed in Shadow: Averted, despite them not averting the above trope.
 * Gotta Kill Em All: Deconstructed.
 * Leitmotif: Governance de Magi
 * More Than Mind Control: They aren't being controlled by the Violet Crystal; it only exacerbates their own insecurities and negative traits.
 * The Omniscient Council of Vagueness
 * Sinister Scythe: While it's not easily observed, the weapons that both Qualna and Moric use are classified as scythes. Also unusual in that when they attack with their scythes, they attack with the back end, instead of the blade.
 * Sorting Algorithm of Evil: The order they volunteer in is coincidentally from weakest to strongest.
 * Theme Naming: Gaspar, Melchior, and Belthazar are named for the three wise men from the Gospel of Matthew.
 * With Great Power Comes Great Insanity
 * Voice of the Legion: All Annunaki have their chat in a special font, in the color of their element. Subverted in that Annunaki Voice sounds exactly the same as a human voice, as many characters confuse Rohoph's speech for Mardek's. It is the text that this trope refers to.

Rohoph
"A strange being who arrived on Belfan when his 'flying chariot' came crashing down from the heavens. What he's doing here is unknown, but on arrival his original body was killed, and he came to inhabit Mardek's body alongside him."

The Healer and light-elemental member of the Governance de Magi. When the Violet Crystal came, he saw how it affected his friends, and tried to destroy it. Unfortunately, he was caught and sentenced to execution, but escaped and crash-landed on Belfan, where he performed a Soul Transfer into Mardek.


 * Black and White Morality: As far as he's concerned, there's good and there's bad, and essentially anything is justified in pursuit of a greater good.
 * Character Alignment: Lawful Good..
 * Foil: To Mardek, as well as Moric and Qualna.
 * I Gave My Word:
 * Genre Savvy: He warns Mardek not to get emotionally attached to people, due to the fact that villains can use them against him in a Sadistic Choice, and also because they can betray him. This is probably influenced by his own friendship issues back home.
 * Jerkass: He's somewhat rude to Mardek and seems to look down upon the people of Belfan. Granted, his race was far more technologically superior, but it doesn't stop him from taking snide potshots when he can. He also makes it clear that he has no wish to waste time speaking with Mardek's comrades in the Dream World in Chapter 3.
 * : In chapter 3.
 * Leitmotif: Rohoph's Theme
 * Light Is Good:
 * Light'Em Up
 * The Medic
 * Mind Control Eyes: Whenever he speaks through Mardek, Mardek's eyes glow white.
 * Sharing a Body: With Mardek.
 * Shoot the Dog:
 * The Smart Guy
 * : Arguably.
 * What the Hell, Hero?:
 * Shoot the Dog:

Moric
"Moric is a necromancer; his powers are rather dark and center around raising the dead as undead. These powers are used by the Governance de Magi to form a sort of unholy undead army, which, though effective, was highly controversial amongst the inhabitants of Anshar. The Governance considered it a good idea, however, because it was better than sending live inhabitants to their deaths fighting in battles. Moric is 'creepy' and reclusive, spending most of his time in his lab perfecting his magic. He is quite sadistic and loves pain and death, and the Violet Crystal amplified these negative traits, leading to Moric willingly chasing after Rohoph merely to see him suffer as he perished."

Not much more needs to be said. Moric was not on good terms with Rohoph, however, due to the fact that they specialized in opposite fields of magic. His mind is also somewhat fractured.

"Moric: You specialize in giving life, I in taking it away and creating twisted, perverse imitations of it. You never liked me."
 * Buffy-Speak: He really likes to make up new words and describe things in terms of themselves.
 * Character Alignment: Neutral Evil.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: He and Rohoph were...not on good terms with one another.


 * Dishing Out Dirt: He has earth-elemental powers, in addition to being a necromancer.
 * Don't You Dare Pity Me!:
 * Famous Last Words: "You must die! Only then can I be free!"
 * Flunky Boss
 * Foil: To Anu.
 * Necromancer: Natch.
 * One-Winged Angel:
 * Verbal Tic: "Yeees..."
 * Weapon of Choice: A Sinister Scythe.

Qualna
The Diviner and ether-elemental member of the Governance de Magi. He has the unique ability to look into a special plane of existence, the Astral Realm, which gives him knowledge of past and even potential future events. These abilities are obviously very useful to the government. He also has a silver tongue, and prefers to resolve things peacefully with words, rather than with fighting.


 * Affably Evil
 * Anticlimax Boss: He's actually rather easy compared to other bosses. This is justified, however, as he dislikes fighting, and specializes in diplomacy instead.
 * Anti-Villain: Contrasted against.
 * Character Alignment: True Neutral, type 4.
 * The Dark Chick: Shares this role with Melchior.
 * Demonic Possession: Sort of. He's able to possess various people.
 * Famous Last Words:
 * Foil: To Gaspar.
 * Flunky Boss
 * Improbable Weapon User
 * Soul Power
 * : He spends a good bit of Chapter 3
 * Soul Power
 * : He spends a good bit of Chapter 3

Gaspar
The "Firestorm" and fire-elemental member of the Governance de Magi. SPEAKS IN ALL CAPS and is a bit of a Large Ham. He also has serious anger management issues and is rather direct and unsubtle. He is set to be the villain of chapter 4, but not much else is known about him.

"(Moric is talking about how he wants to kill Rohoph)
 * The Brute
 * Foil: To Qualna.
 * Hot-Blooded
 * Large Ham
 * No Indoor Voice
 * Playing With Fire
 * Pyromaniac
 * Rhymes On a Dime: Him of all people!

Gaspar: MORIC, YOU'RE A SMELTIN' CREEPY MAN!! AND YET I THINK I TOO MIGHT MONGIN' WELL DELIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF THE FRIGHT OF THE WHITE BLIGHT AS I FIGHT AND SMITE HIM FROM THIS PLANE!! BLOODYIN'.

Qualna: Why Gaspar, that's awfully poetic for you! I'm amazed!

Gaspar: I'LL HARRY WELL SHOW YOU A POETIC MAZE!! I'LL TRAP YOU IN IT AND SCREAM TOFFIN' BLOOD-CURDLIN' SCREAMS AS YOU TRY IN VAIN TO EVADE THE PAIN YOU'D BE SURE TO GAIN!! YOU'D SLOWLY GO INSANE, AND I'D JUST LAUGH!! LAUGH!!! MOGGIN' LAUGH TRIPIN' HARD!!"

Belthazar
The water-elemental member of the Governance de Magi. Appears to be The Dragon to Anu, and is the most level-headed member of the Governance. Not much else is known about him.


 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Foil: To Melchior.
 * The Dragon: To Anu, possibly.
 * The Evil Genius
 * Making a Splash
 * Verbal Tic: "Myes."

Melchior
The air-elemental member of the Governance de Magi. Also the odd one out. He appears to be completely bonkers, and whenever he speaks, it's pretty much guaranteed that you'll be laughing hysterically a few moments later. Not much else is known about him.

"Anu: When Rohoph's gone and dealt with, there'll be nothing to stop us... No... Soon, THE GALAXY WILL BE OURS!!! MWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
 * Affably Evil
 * Blow You Away
 * Cloudcuckoolander: To the extreme.

Melchior: Don't you mean ours, sir? We are working on this together. There's not just you.

Anu: Yes, that's what I said. Weren't you listening?

Melchior: What? Eh? No, not at all. I had a nice pretty tune in my head. I was listening to that. It went like 'naaaah naaaah nah-nah-naaaah, naaaah naaaah naaaah naaahh...'

Anu: Sigh..."


 * Foil: To Belthazar.
 * The Dark Chick: Shares this role with Qualna.
 * Plucky Comic Relief

Anu
The "Master" and dark-elemental member of the Governance de Magi. Normally, they're an equal council, but due to the Violet Crystal's effects, he lunged for power, presumably because he was the most ambitious. Seems to want to take over the galaxy, or something cliché like that. Not much else is known about him.


 * Ambition Is Evil: Heavily implied.
 * Big Bad: Possibly, though it's been theorized that the creature inside the Violet Crystal may turn out to be The Eldritch Abomination Behind The Man.
 * Dark Is Edgy
 * The Dragon: If he isn't the Big Bad, he's probably this.
 * Take Over the World: Or rather, the galaxy.

Everyone Else
Though important to the plot, these miscellaneous characters don't fit into any of the other categories.

Enki Ea'Seph El-Regis
"Mardek's father. An adventurer of great renown, known as 'Enki the Wanderer'. He left his wife and child a few years ago to go on some quest he swore wouldn't take long. He's not returned since, and little is known about his current whereabouts; only a few rumours about sightings of him in the far, frozen Northern Wastes suggest he still lives. His family eagerly awaits his return."

There's not much else to say. He seems to have a Mysterious Past, though he refuses to talk about it. Not much else is known about him, as he has not appeared in-game yet.


 * Character Alignment: Lawful Good.
 * Disappeared Dad: He is one himself, although
 * Katanas Are Just Better
 * Leitmotif: Enki's Theme
 * Light'Em Up
 * Mysterious Past

King Gonoroth Fa-Regis
"The king of Goznor. His power is absolute. He's a genuinely good person, and seeks to make the world a better place. He started the Guard so then he could aid people and keep law and order not only in Goznor, but throughout the whole of Belfan. Currently their range includes only Hadris, but some Royal Knights are sent out further on long missions."


 * Character Alignment: Lawful Good.
 * : In chapter 3.
 * Nice Guy
 * Playing With Fire
 * Weapon of Choice: A Cool Sword.

Clavis
"An unusual man with a fondness for using keystones as a metaphor. He claims to be an 'equilibriumancer' and likes to ramble in a way that almost seems like moral lecturing or something, made to make his audience think. His motives are unknown...as is basically everything about him, really."


 * Arc Words: His constant references to keystones.
 * Balance Between Good and Evil: Advocates this to Rohoph, who merely brushes off his advice.
 * Bald of Awesome
 * Character Alignment: True Neutral, type 5.
 * Leitmotif: Clavis
 * Purple Eyes
