Record of Agarest War/Characters

Here's a list of the main characters of Agarest Senki or known to the US as Record of Agarest War and Agarest Generations of War in EU. Please put the tropes of characters that appear in other generations in their own categories.

Be warned that there WILL be spoilers in this page.

Leonhardt Raglen


The protagonist of Generation 1 who started the process of becoming a Spirit Vessel. He has a good reason to do this, but he unfortunately gave his descendants a lot of trouble thanks to his actions.


 * Ancestral Weapon: His sword, Treasure Sword Of Oath.
 * Awesome McCoolname: I mean really, who would name their kid Leonhardt Raglen?
 * Badass: To put this in perspective, in the beginning, he renounced his humanity and station to save Ellis (in a sense, doing a g-rated equivalent to flipping the bird to one of the most powerful kingdoms in the nation). After this, he proceeds to beat the crap out of his former squad, including his former second in command and his superior.
 * Badass Family: The head of it!
 * Well before ZERO in that we are introduced with Sieghait his ancestor
 * Badass Longcoat: He wears one himself.
 * Badass Normal: Before his contract with Dyshana. Stood up against his superior and his men and was still able to win.
 * The Chosen One: Him and his entire descendants get chosen to be the seal to
 * Comically Missing the Point: Winfield talks about hot springs, and Leo's reaction is to boil eggs. Not as bad as his son Ladius though.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: He starts out in the game as a fairly decent fighter. He gets worf'd by the Dark Knight after two battles.
 * Deal with the Devil: In a sense he did with Dyshana, but it was more for a noble cause. Unfortunately, his descendants don't seem like the idea.
 * : He's in the artwork and promotional videos, and his name and image are present in the opening.
 * Disc One Nuke: Every single Agarest player out there would tell you to keep Leo because of his Willpower skills. His Energy + Unleash All + Parry = easy SP gain.
 * Dreaming of Things to Come: He dreamed that he would be killed by a black knight. Three minutes later, he just did.
 * The Dulcinea Effect: Somewhat. He'd fight to the death for ANYONE, Ellis was just the tipping point.
 * Fashion Dissonance: Uhh, he's a military officer (a general at that!) of a kingdom army but why does he wear a biker outfit?
 * because it looks cool?
 * Flash Step: In the 2nd game, he gets this special treatment in his moving animation. Must be the result of his popularity.
 * The Hero: In the first generation.
 * Heroes Prefer Swords: His starting weapon.
 * Hero with Bad Publicity: He's hated by the other nobles.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Leonhardt will bite you to death, deliver bad luck to you, and is the demon king.
 * Implausible Fencing Powers: In the second game. Three quick strikes to your opponent counts as one hit!? Must be all that popularity...
 * Lolicon: At least according to Luana...
 * Master Swordsman
 * Meaningful Name: Leonheardt has the heart of a lion
 * Normally I Would Be Dead Now: And if Dyshana didn't show up, we'd get no game!
 * Popularity Power: Out of every single Idea Factory/Compile Heart game, he's at the top of the line as to who people want at Agarest Senki 2.
 * And he does it again for Compile Heart's new game, Attouteki Yuugi Mugen Souls.
 * Prequel Hook: What the significance of that Treasure Sword of Oath will be touched on Agarest ZERO.
 * Posthumous Character: After the 2nd generation.
 * Red Baron: Golden Leo
 * Road Cone: Before Zero was even released, Leo ruled out everyone but Friedelinde or Routier for Sieghart, and Mimel for Leonis... Unless Leonhardt is Not Quite Human.
 * There's one thousand years between Agarest and ZERO. Pretty sure the line would have been diluted by then.
 * Rousing Speech: Over a boulder blocking their way. No kidding.
 * Single-Stroke Battle: His first EX Skill one-slashing a group of enemies.
 * Super Mode: Unleash All. Obscenely high stat boosts that trigger whenever Leonhardt is at or below 25% health. In all honesty, there is no single enemy or boss that can really stand up to him when he's in that state. While his descendants and his ancestors get it as well, Leonhardt's notable in that he's the only one who gets it as his first Willpower.
 * Sword of Plot Advancement: His golden sword is pretty much used by his descendants.
 * Fridge Logic: Why you could not equip that sword even though the protagonists of each generation are seen holding it is beyond this troper. I mean, the sword itself has some pretty good stats, but you don't get to use it in gameplay until  At least Radiata Stories had some kind of justification for it, but not this game.
 * Sword Pointing: Does this all the time in cutscenes.
 * Supporting Leader
 * Too Good for This Sinful Earth: At first.
 * True Companions: Weaponized with Absolute End.
 * White Prince: At least in Luana's eyes, he is one. In actuality though he's more of a...
 * Wise Prince
 * You Can't Fight Fate:

Dyshana
The woman who gave Leonhardt and his descendants their destiny. Not much is known about her when you first encounter her.


 * Deal with the Devil: She gave it to Leonhardt when she first met him who was nearly dying of wounds.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: It's Domon Kasshu's daughter!
 * Ice Queen
 * Defrosting Ice Queen: It takes quite a long time for this...
 * Ms. Fanservice: The first one! (Unless you're into Ellis)
 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Male Gaze: Your first CG is with her with a full body shot showing off her breasts and abs.
 * Stripperific
 * Underboobs
 * Mysterious Waif: Really, nothing is known about her other than telling the Raglen family about their destiny.
 * Power Gives You Wings: Gets 6 of them in
 * : Everyone agrees she is the cutest thing ever
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Is that aquamarine or what?
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Is that aquamarine or what?

Ellis


The first female character encountered in the game. She was cornered by a group of soldiers and was saved by Leonhardt. Falls in love with him and promises to take care of his descendants


 * Cannot Hold Her Liquor: Gets drunk quite easily.
 * Cannot Spit It Out: She falls in love with Leonhardt, but she could not spit it out (being twelve years old at that time). She takes care of his descendants herself to represent her love for him.

 * Zettai Ryouiki
 * Zettai Ryouiki

Borgnine
A larva accidentally summoned by Ellis. Leonhardt sees him and thinks he's an enemy who is going to eat Ellis; obviously he fights him. The fight gets Cut Short after Ellis clears up the misunderstanding. He at first does not have any emotion whatsoever, but begins to develop emotions the farther the story goes.


 * The Big Guy: Only Arbol is bigger than him.
 * Brought Down to Normal: Whenever he's summoned to another world, his strength gets cut down so much.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: I mean seriously, anyone would have suspected this guy to be evil when you first meet him. Until Ellis clears things up for Leo and the players.
 * Guardian Entity
 * I'm a Humanitarian: Eats Winfield per orders from Ellis. Even he doesn't wanna do it either.
 * Our Gods Are Different: Larvae are considered as lesser gods in this game.
 * God Was My Co-Pilot: In unleashing combos at least.
 * Talking to Himself: With adult!Alberti. Talk about a lot of range right there.
 * Talking to Himself: With adult!Alberti. Talk about a lot of range right there.

Vira-Lorr


An onerthes who could see the future, but cannot anymore due to the visions being dark. All she sees is Leonhardt, his fate, and his descendants. She has a third eye which she does not bother hiding even though her kind is being hunted.


 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Well if it isn't Sailor Mars herself.
 * Magic Knight: When you first get her, she can equip both wands and swords.
 * The Tease
 * Waif Prophet: Well formerly.

Zerva


A syrium who fights against the Gridamas due to the fact that his kind has been persecuted. He's also the older brother of Fyuria. Initially, he hates Leonhardt due to the fact that his kind is being persecuted, but later develops a strong sense of friendship with him. He later promises Leonhardt that he would take care of his descendants.


 * Dark Is Not Evil
 * Hell-Bent for Leather
 * Older Than They Look: He's at least 160 years old when Leonhardt meets him.
 * Proud Warrior Race Guy: At first. He mellows out by the second generation.
 * Sinister Scythe: His default weapon.

Winfield


A normal human who stole the Bracelet of the Covenant and is cursed to live a long life and that it slowly turns him into one of the Dark Knights. Whoever holds the bracelet is tasked to give it to the evil god and therefore cannot die until his purpose is finished. Of course, Winfield wouldn't want any of that so he joins the party.


 * Badass
 * Badass Abnormal: Abnormal by human standards at least, thanks to that bracelet.
 * Badass Longcoat
 * Badass Long Hair
 * Big Brother Mentor: To Thoma in the third generation, much to Ellis' dismay.
 * Butt Monkey: You'd feel sorry for this guy.
 * Chewing the Scenery: With Thoma, especially at the hot springs.
 * Chivalrous Pervert: Oh so much.
 * Cursed with Awesome: His curse is that he gets to be one of the Dark Knights if he doesn't find a way to get rid of that Bracelet. That and the fact that he has to bring it to an evil god. The catch however? He can't die because of it which helps out the party.
 * Hand Cannon: You can let him equip one and he wields it one handed!
 * Hey, It's That Voice! / Actor Allusion: Hey Lazarus, wanna peek at the hot springs? Oh and for lulz, he's also Zelos from Blazing Souls Accelate.
 * Hidden Depths
 * Hot Springs Episode: Every single hot springs episode ends with him getting beaten up by Borgnine.
 * Revenge: Why he went to steal the bracelet was because his girlfriend died during the invasion of the Gridamas empire.
 * Sidetracked By The Missed Point: Happens when Leonhardt thinks about boiling eggs in a hot spring. He quickly catches himself doing this and gets back to the matter at hand.
 * Spanner in the Works: Let's just say that Summeril would have been able to complete his evil plan if the bracelet just didn't choose Winfield.
 * "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Guess where Thoma learned it from?

Fyuria


One of the three love interests of the first generation. She is a syurium herself and is the younger sister of Zerva. She initially hates Leonhardt mainly due to the fact that she hates humans, but as time goes on, she accepts Leonhardt and even loves him by the end of the first generation.

 * Stripperific
 * Too Many Belts: This is pretty much her clothes.
 * Tsundere: Type A
 * Used to Be a Sweet Kid
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Luana


One of the three love interests of the first generation. She meets the party while she was surrounded by monsters. Trying to act like a Damsel in Distress, she thinks she could manipulate the party. She grants them an audience to the king of Rigulus.


 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Luana is also Rihoko Sakurai, and Milfeulle Sakuraba.
 * Improbable Weapon User: The official name of her weapon is a breaker. How she uses it is another story.
 * Stepford Smiler: She does have a genuine smile, but her hatred for Gridamas is stronger than hate itself.
 * Swiss Army Weapon: Her weapon can be fused into one and she throws it by spinning it behind her then launch it at the enemy.
 * Wrong Genre Savvy: Goes to play as a Damsel in Distress waiting for her white prince with a white steed after being cornered by monsters. Too bad for her, this game is all about war drama.

Ladius Raglen/Ladifour Von Busser


Son of Leonhardt and the protagonist of the second generation. He is also the adopted son of Howell Von Busser due to the fact that Von Busser doesn't have any children. Serious, calm, and diligent, he's always committed like his father to do what is right. After putting down a rebellion, he gets accused as the guy who started the rebellion, so he took his loyal men and ran all the way to another country just to escape. This nearly also cost his friendship with his childhood friend Valeria.

Depending on who you marry, his armor would either be red, blue, or silver.


 * Awesome McCoolname: Has two of them.
 * Because Destiny Says So: Sadly, this makes him the most hated protagonist of all generations.
 * Caught in the Rain: More like he and the rest of the party fall down into a cave. You get to choose among the three love interests as to who accompanies him.
 * Chaste Hero: The most chaste one out of the five!
 * Expy: Red!Ladius looks a little like a certain spikey haired protagonist we all know of.
 * Generation Xerox: His storyline is pretty much what would happen if Leo instead was a serious guy and is oblivious to the feelings of women.
 * Heroes Prefer Swords: No matter who you choose to be the mother and have a different weapon for him, in cut scenes, he's always carrying Leo's sword.
 * Homeless Hero: He gets driven out from his home after the start of his arc.
 * Knight in Shining Armor: He's the only one who wears an armor in his family.
 * Love You and Everybody: Does not know the meaning of romance at all.
 * Valeria caught on this one very badly, when she asks him whether he has someone he likes or not, he says the person is right in front of him, think you locked Valeria's ending? No, he then says that in front of him and everyone else.
 * Married to the Job
 * Mistaken for Gay: Take a look at most of his tropes. Now consider the fact that he apparently spends more time with Zerva and Vashtor than any of the women in the group. Is it any wonder Sherufanir starts to wonder for a little while?
 * Not Distracted by the Sexy: Count how many times he's been in a situation and he goes "uh ok."
 * Oblivious to Love: This guy does not know the meaning of love.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Personality wise, he is the blue oni to Valeria's red oni.

Vashtor
A man Ladius found in a beach one day. Since he has an amnesia, he decides to say with Ladius until his memories come back. During that time, he teaches Ladius on swordsmanship and is well-known in Graccea as the best swordsman in that country. He is pretty much considered to be the greatest threat to the Von Busser household.

"Vashtor: Fool, your existence itself is a already a sin. Then I will show you, the fate that is carved on you, the price would be your life though...Suffer the eternal suffering, in the rift of the worlds! Crux Judgement!"
 * Badass: As proven by his Badass Creed
 * Badass: As proven by his Badass Creed

 * Badass Cape
 * Blood Knight: Averted, his design cries for this but he is actually very calm.
 * Dangerously Genre Savvy
 * Foil: For his ZERO version.

 * Redheaded Hero

Arbol
A ryulent who accompanies Ladius and his descendants, just so that he could see the outside world and that he can find his resting place.


 * Gameplay and Story Segregation: In any cut scene, he has been described as a huge guy. Gameplay wise however, he's just as large as your own units.
 * Glass Cannon: For a walking tree, he sure can't take a lot of hits.
 * Nature Hero: He's a giant walking tree.
 * Speech Impediment: Well, more like he says just some random stuff to the point that most of the time, you don't understand what he's trying to say.

Sharona
The chief of a syrium village, she wants to escape it all and go outside for an adventure of a lifetime. Just don't ask her age.


 * The Alcoholic: It's not clear how often she drinks, but she is said to be on par with Vira-Lorr at it, and at one point supposedly emptied the entire ale supply of her village.
 * Everything's Better with Spinning: She can fling that weapon with a chain in hand.
 * Jumped At the Call: And left the position of Da Chief to someone else.
 * Though, she doesn't really have any part in the story at all. She's just in for the adventure.
 * Meganekko
 * Vain Sorceress: She often compares her age to human age instead of the standard syrium age.

Valeria


One of the three love interests of the second generation. A childhood friend of Ladius, their friendship gets tested when Ladius decides to break free from prison and fulfill his destiny. At first, she feels betrayed but soon enough she gets to accompany him later on and become one of the three chosen women.


 * Blade on a Stick
 * Clingy Jealous Girl: Oh so much.
 * Heroes Want Redheads
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Spica, is that you!?
 * Lady of War: Is a general of Grugund.
 * Stripperific

Yayoi


One of the three love interests in the second generation. She is a priestess of Yamato in Alzai Fen who was supposed to be sacrificed to a "god", but was rescued by Ladius and the gang after finding out that it's only a larva who got Drunk on the Dark Side. She then accompanies Ladius in his quest to save Graccea/


 * Japanese Honorifics: Calls every single party member as Party Member-sama.
 * Miko
 * Sacrificial Lamb: At least, that was the idea...
 * Yamato Nadeshiko: She can cook really well. What ingredients she uses however is an entirely different thing.
 * Yum Yum: The poster girl at Aksys' website for Agarest!

Sherufanir


One of the three love interests of the second generation. She is one-half neocollom and one-half human with the blood of a priest related to god (or so it goes). She accompanies Ladius on his adventure to save Graccea, but she does not want to fight at all.


 * Bound and Gagged: By the heroes no less! Justified due to her nature as a half and half. Which side of the family triggers the cause is unknown.
 * Impossibly Low Neckline
 * Little Black Dress
 * Lunacy: Every full moon, she becomes uncontrollably energetic. She's not sure if it's due to her divine blood, or her Neocolom blood.
 * Petting Zoo People
 * Three Faces of Eve: She would be the Seductress of the three.

Thoma Raglen
The main protagonist of the third generation. He loves women and he hates cold places, both of which is the setting of his arc. He initially accompanies the gang just to find someone who could give out clues on getting rid of Winfield's bracelet, as well as being the seal on the continent of Fendias. It is when the continent is being overrun by the dark forces, and the fact that discrimination among elves is rampant is when he takes an active role in his story.

He can either have a white suit with white hair, a blue suit with blond hair, or a black suit with black hair depending on who you marry.


 * Anything That Moves: Will hit on any woman, his mom if given half the chance, his Blood Brothers granddaughter, and a Hermaphrodite goddess!
 * Technically he draws the line at his mom. His real mother anyway. In Zero he does mention to her though that if she weren't his mother, he'd make a pass at her too.
 * Bring It On: Whenever he draws his sword in cutscenes, he always does the "bring it on" hand gesture.
 * Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest: Subverted HARD. Lavinia gets as much of it as Ellis.
 * Chewing the Scenery: With Winfield whenever these two are gonna pull off their antics. Taken Up to Eleven when they're going to a peek at the hot spring like their life is on the line.
 * Chivalrous Pervert: Being raised up by Winfield did this to him, much to Ellis' dismay.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Less of a moron, more of a badass.
 * Expy: To Western people, they all think that Thoma (you let Ladius marry Yayoi in this case) looks like Yuri Lowell. Of course, anyone who has done their research would tell you otherwise.
 * Heroes Prefer Swords: See Ladius' entry.
 * Lovable Sex Maniac: He does get three girls falling in love with him.
 * My Name Is Not Durwood: Always corrects Noah whenever she calls him Trauma.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: Well, he's a Raglen.

Plum
A nelth girl who the party meets at Paillene. She is the only one who could design the Achilles' Heel of Winfield's bracelet and as such goes off with the party on an adventure to help build it.


 * Jumped At the Call
 * Older Than They Look: Much much older. Even Thoma couldn't handle her due to the fact that she always talks to him like she was an older sister or a mother.
 * Rose-Haired Girl
 * Tenchi Solution: Suggests it toward the end of the fifth generation. Doesn't happen.

Ganz
A greer the party meets at Twulan. He claims that he's the only one who could build the very thing that could destroy Winfield's bracelet but only if he has the materials for it. He joins the party to look for said materials.


 * Blade on a Stick
 * Boisterous Bruiser
 * Death From Above: All of his EX Combination Skills with the other party members end with him drilling the enemy from above.
 * Jumped At the Call: Since he claims he's the only one who could build the MacGuffin to destroy the bracelet, he joins the party to search for the materials.
 * Mighty Glacier: Yeah, we can say Borgnine and Vashtor fit this mold too, but Ganz's starting AP (as important to turn order as Agility, as well as the limit to which one can take actions) looks to be particularly bad—his starting gear does not seem to rectify this one bit.

Alberti
A young man who fell in love with The Chief's Daughter (said chief is also considered to be That One Boss fyi). Unfortunately, when he saw that the Chief was having a deal with the Dark Knight, he got exiled for it. He plans to bring her back when Thoma shows up.

He is also the only normal human and thus, he ages quite noticeably.


 * Ascended Fanboy: Idolized Thoma and becomes the caretaker of Duran and Rex.
 * Badass Normal: He's a normal human being and yet he can keep up with the party.
 * Cool Old Guy: In the fourth generation.
 * Badass Grandpa: In the fifth generation.
 * Dual-Wielding: He uses daggers.
 * Growing Up Sucks: Averted. Growing up for him made him even more awesome.

 * adult!Alberti is E. Honda.
 * Older and Wiser: By fourth generation.
 * Red Baron: Death Dealer
 * Star-Crossed Lovers: With Nastassja.
 * Star-Crossed Lovers: With Nastassja.

Lavinia


One of the three love interests of the third generation. She is one half high elf and one half dark elf which unfortunately, dark elves are considered to be evil and so she was ostracized by other high elves. She first meets the party at Tweda Forest and was "rescued" by Winfield and Thoma. She takes them to Lus Soleil where she was reunited with her younger sister Faina. After saving her home, she accompanies Thoma on his mission to look for materials to break Winfield's bracelet and to save the continent.


 * The Chief's Daughter: She's also the daughter that got banished from the elf village.
 * Dark-Skinned Redhead: Complete with Eyes of Gold.
 * Fantastic Racism: Hated for having a dark elf skin even though she's half and half.
 * Heroes Want Redheads
 * Hot Chick with a Sword
 * My Sister Is Off-Limits: Tries this with Thoma. It doesn't work seeing how Faina is also a Love Interest.
 * Sibling Yin-Yang: With Faina.
 * Stripperific
 * Tsundere

Faina


One of the three love interests of the third generation and Lavinia's younger sister. From a very long time, she's a sickly girl who always collapses for some weird reason. She gets reunited with her sister after a long time and joins the party specifically to be with Lavinia, but also longs for the outside world.


 * Big Eater: She sure can eat a lot despite the fact that she's sick.
 * Fantastic Racism: Subverted. Even though she's a half high elf-dark elf like her older sister, she doesn't look like one herself so she doesn't get as much discrimination as Lavinia. She was even considered to be the next chief of the village.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Has the same voice as Anesha.
 * Ill Girl
 * Sibling Yin-Yang: With Lavinia, although they really care for each other.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Grade B. Bonus points due to the fact that aside from her face and elbows, it's the only skin showing (incredibly odd for Agarest).

Noah


One of the three love interests in the third generation. She first meets up with the party at Aulis Lake while the party is looking for one of the ingredients for the MacGuffin to destroy Winfield's bracelet.

 * Shoryuken
 * Waif Fu
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Duran Raglen
Son of Thoma and the fourth generation protagonist. Whatever his father Thoma was, Duran is the complete opposite. Whereas Thoma was a jolly fellow, Duran is more of a withdrawn guy who hates being the next Spirit Vessel.

The only noticeable change that you can see in Duran as to who you let Thoma marry, is that he can have either blue, red, or blond hair.


 * Bare Your Midriff

 * Action Girl
 * Bunny Girl
 * Cute Bruiser
 * Genki Girl
 * Heroic Wannabe: Tries to keep the city of Tenedos safe. Unfortunately, she causes more trouble than saving it.
 * Love Interest: You'd think with Duran due to their chemistry of both of them arguing all the time. She's not an option for Duran.

Fer
The best treasure hunter in the world (or so he claims). He meets the party at Crystal Lake while he was looking for treasure. He joins the party because he think he could find more treasure if he joins with the party.


 * Big Damn Heroes:

 * Hyperspace Arsenal: What the hell's inside that bag of his!?
 * Older Than They Look: Looks like a kid but is actually in his twenties when he meets the party.
 * Tagalong Kid: When you're surrounded by people who are at least 100 years old, you really still think he's a kid?

Reverie
A yulishee who the party meets at Crystal Lake when they were looking for a Rainbow Shard. She decides to help them, aware of the fact that she gets exiled if she helps them out. She goes with it nonetheless due to the fact that she wants to travel around the world anyway.


 * Blade on a Stick
 * Jumped At the Call
 * Making a Splash

Hilda/Hildegarde

 * A Day in the Limelight: See Crowning Moment of Heartwarming
 * Determinator: Fought off against winds AND a Garvel just to get a Marfile fruit to heal Duran.

Ryuryu
One of the three love interests of the fourth generation, she is hailed as the most powerful fortune-teller of Enhambre. She at first tells a fortune that Duran will be with Hilda, Silvi, and herself and that Duran will have to marry him. Unfortunately, she also got picked to be the sacrifice for the local demon until Duran and the party save her. She then joins due to the stipulations she placed with Dyshana.

 * The Messiah: Even worse than Leonhardt.
 * Took a Third Option: In the True Ending, Dyshana points out three things that he can do when they reach the final pillar: Get sealed so that the darkness gets pushed back, fight off the forces of darkness for a very long time, or
 * Unwanted Harem: He out harems his ancestors!
 * To the point that this one is weaponized as a Combination Attack with Rex, Beatrice, Qua, Murmina, Reverie, and Plum with all of their EX2 attack.
 * Winged Humanoid: If you let Duran marry Silvi.
 * Wings Do Nothing: He only gets to use his wings as a Float skill in battles. In cutscenes, and in dungeons? You don't get to use them at all.
 * Justified. Agarest Zero shows that half-harpuia can't fly as well as full-blooded harpuia, if they're even capable of flight at all.
 * Yin-Yang Bomb: His final EX.

Beatrice
A woman who has sailed from the different parts of the continent thanks to her eye patch.


 * Bathtub Bonding: With the rest of the women in the group.
 * Dual-Wielding
 * Eyepatch of Power: She's not blind however.
 * Hero Worshipper: Of Thoma and the rest of the Raglen family.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: This troper is now waiting for Beatrice to shout Operation Start!
 * Hot Chick with a Sword
 * Luminescent Blush: Cannot talk to Rex because of the fact that
 * When she finally meets with Thoma in the extended version, she blushes like crazy.
 * Red Baron: Death Carrier
 * Romantic Two-Girl Friendship / Heterosexual Life Partners With Murmina.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo

Murmina
The sole survivor of the harpuia race in Aegisthus. She is out for revenge on the one who killed her family led by  Depending on your actions, you could save her, or she dies from exhaustion and from injuries.


 * Bokukko: But averts every personality of it.
 * Detached Sleeves
 * Emotionless Girl
 * Grey Rain of Depression
 * Gun Fu
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Let's see, Shouko and Makoto.
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Rex can talk her out of it.
 * Romantic Two-Girl Friendship / Heterosexual Life Partners With Beatrice. Let's see here; For no real reason Murmina would be dead if you didn't recruit Beatrice. They're both aware of Rex's power but are also certain that he is not why they're able to trust each other enough to tell each other anything, and she's willing to consistently trust Beatrice with the task of helping keep her wings clean which is effectively showing that she trusts Beatrice with her life. Were it not for Rex, it wouldn't be difficult to see them as an Official Couple.
 * When She Smiles: Hnnnnngh.
 * Winged Humanoid
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair
 * Zettai Ryouiki: About Grade B.

Melchior

 * Karma Houdini: Kills a lot of syrium, follows his evil king, lets the Dark Knight kill Leo, and he gets away with pretty much just being there.
 * The Rival: To Leonhardt in almost every single way.

Largen

 * Cool Old Guy

Musaka

 * Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When he was defeated by Leo, he pretty much retired.
 * Said decision to retire may or may not have been affected by the demotion and suspension that followed the events of his defeat.
 * Warmup Boss

Teonor

 * Doting Grandfather: To Ellis

Braham

 * Smug Snake
 * Wake Up Call Boss: With Largen. While the first two bossfights in the game may have been a minor step above randoms, he and Largen will put the hurt on your party with their sizeable AP, high offense, and link attack use; quickly establishing the rule to be followed that boss battles in this game aren't about if party members get killed, as much as how many die, and how often they do.

Kasibal

 * Interface Spoiler: He doesn't have en experience meter or extended area.
 * Guest Star Party Member: He's a party member for the first battle only.

King Hertzfeldt

 * All Just a Dream: Melchior invokes this trope, but the king says otherwise.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking
 * Brainwashed and Crazy

Malitz

 * One-Scene Wonder

Midas

 * Authority Equals Asskicking: And don't you forget it.
 * Bald of Awesome and Bald of Evil

Nastassja

 * Star-Crossed Lovers: With Alberti.

Keith

 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
 * Unlucky Childhood Friend:
 * Winged Humanoid
 * You Gotta Have Green Hair
 * You Gotta Have Green Hair

Sarburgh

 * Authority Equals Asskicking
 * Large Ham
 * Large and In Charge
 * Talking to Himself: With Zerva. Have fun hearing Zerva as a stoic and as a large ham.
 * What Happened to the Mouse?: Umm, what exactly happened to him after you defeated Summerill in the end anyways? Granted, it's not even important due to the fact that

Summerill
The Big Bad of the game itself and the Final Boss of the fifth generation. He's the reason why the darkness is spreading throughout the continent.


 * Smug Snake: For all the hype that we finally get to kick the ass of the guy who started this, he just becomes smug about it when he loses.
 * The Starscream: He reveals to the party on what he would do after reclaiming his Bracelet from Winfield: to become the god of Agarest by kicking out Chaos and the rest of the gods.
 * Your Princess Is in Another Castle:
 * Your Princess Is in Another Castle:

The Dark Knight
This is the guy who curb stomped Leo while he makes Ellis flee the scene.


 * Authority Equals Asskicking: He's the highest ranked among the Gurgs themselves.
 * Badass
 * Badass Cape
 * Black Knight: Well duh!
 * Rule of Three: It took three times for Leo to finally beat him.
 * The Voiceless:

Gurg
These are the other Dark Knights that are roaming around the other continents to spread the darkness. Originally, there were twelve of them, but six got killed off before the game starts.


 * Dark Is Evil: You must really be Genre Blind if you cannot see this.
 * Made of Temptation: Their modus operandi to the other countries so that they would give in to the darkness.
 * Wolfpack Boss: So, you're used to fighting two at the same time. Let's see if you can handle fighting four at the same time (thankfully, this only happens once in the game.)
 * Made of Temptation: Their modus operandi to the other countries so that they would give in to the darkness.
 * Wolfpack Boss: So, you're used to fighting two at the same time. Let's see if you can handle fighting four at the same time (thankfully, this only happens once in the game.)

The Six Gods Of Darkness
These gods  While they were alluded in the prologue itself, they're more of a Giant Space Flea From Nowhere.

Mercury
One of the six gods of darkness, though he regrets it deeply. He at first was at the side of light, until Mobius tempted him to the dark side. He wants to go back to the light, but he can't because of his loyalty to the dark.


 * Anti-Villain
 * Blindfolded Vision
 * Conflicting Loyalty
 * Face Heel Turn
 * My God, What Have I Done?

Mobius
The god of space and time, he is also responsible for the war of the gods thousands of years ago. He did this to kick out both Lenion and Chaos so he could become the ruler. If anything, every single conflict of the gods can be traced back to him. He is sealed in Graccea.


 * Eyes Always Shut
 * Let's You and Him Fight: He makes both Lenion and Chaos to fight it out so he can kick them out of their places and become the god of Agarest.
 * The Starscream
 * Talking to Himself: He shares the same seiyuu with adult!Alberti. Too bad they never meet due to the fact that Mobius is located at the generation 2 tower.

Deeth
One of the six gods/goddesses that were sealed, she represents Fortune. She can appear to other people either as a man, or as a woman and just so happens to encounter. Sealed at Fendias.


 * Anti-Villain
 * Anything That Moves: Oddly enough, she would also tap Thoma if given half the chance.
 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Hermaphrodite
 * It Amused Me: If the reason for something she's done isn't progress, it's this.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: With Chaos and  She even says to  that s/he'll eat her and play with her.
 * Sinister Scythe
 * Underboobs
 * War for Fun and Profit: Her reasoning being that if there's no war, there will be no progress.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Nemesis
The goddess of revenge. Ironically enough, she is the most composed out of all the gods and the only reason why she even sided with the dark was just to balance things out. She is sealed in Enhambre


 * Anti-Villain
 * I Call It Vera: Subverted. Her weapon doesn't really have a name, but as time went on, her name got attached to the staff as well.
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Averted when you realize she's actually an incredibly nice person, then brutally invoked when she slaughters your team with a single long-range wide-area attack.
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Subverted as hard as possible.
 * The Smurfette Principle: If you don't count Deeth as a female.

Mayastia
The god of war battle. He seeks to have more battles just so that progress can be made. He is sealed in Aegisthus.


 * Awesome McCoolname: Mayastia? Really?
 * Badass Cape
 * Blade on a Stick
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Hot-Blooded
 * War for Fun and Profit: Well, he is the god of war.

Chaos
The lord of the dark night, and the god of destruction and rebirth. He initially fought against Lenion due to the fact that Lenion married the girl of his dreams and that Mobius was pushing for it. He gets to be special in that he's sealed in the Boundary Plane.

In Agarest Senki 2, Weiss kills him as a Cutscene Boss in the opening.


 * Anti-Villain
 * Bishounen
 * Cain and Abel: He's the evil Abel to Lenion's good Cain.
 * Though, how much evil Chaos is would be another story.
 * Opposite Sex Clone:
 * Red Baron: Lord of the Dark Night (please don't confuse that with the other lord of dark night), and god of destruction and rebirth.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni
 * Sinister Scythe
 * Star-Crossed Lovers: With Varna when Lenion marries her. One of the last few straws before the whole war of the gods started.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy

Sieghart

 * Character Customization: More so than any other character. Shortly after dying in the prologue, Sieg is revived and you then pick from three class types, Warrior Battle Mage, and Sorcerer, then you pick 5 of 24 cards to determine your stats and Weapon of Choice. While you'd think this would be easy to figure out, it's not. Finally you get to pick his skill slots, half you get right from the start, half when you promote him
 * Comically Missing the Point: Like Leonhardt, Sieghart's reaction to hearing about the hot springs is to boil eggs.
 * Dual-Wielding: Doesn't happen with all weapon types though
 * Embarrassing Nickname: Ziggy. Has no problem with Mimel calling him Zeeg though.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Sieghart is what happens if Minato settles with a wife.
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero
 * Pals With Vashtor
 * Running Gag: He dies just like how Leo dies in the prologue.
 * Senseless Sacrifice
 * Why Couldn't You Be Different?: In the Boundary Plane, he mentions that he would have preferred that Leonis had been a girl instead, right in front of Leonis.

Friedelinde

 * Blade on a Stick
 * Godzilla Threshold: Once she meets back up with the group, she's devastated that Sieghart has attracted a harem. There's no way she can compete. The solution? Ask Eugene how to get Sieghart to notice her.
 * He Is Not My Boyfriend: The first time this comes up, you can either agree or just ignore the accusation.
 * Lethal Chef: Averted. Her cooking is actually just So OK Its Average. She takes being told this about as well as if she'd been told she were a Lethal Chef though.
 * Running Gag: During her attempts to put advice given to her to use, she eventually breaks down and just charges at Sieghart, or does so in response to one of your choices. This usually results in him dodging on reflex and sending her screaming over a cliff.
 * Senseless Sacrifice
 * Talking To Herself: If you get Dyshana in Extra Mode. She even has the same hair color!
 * Tsundere: Type B. Oddly, it's Eugene that brings out her more aggressive behavior, not Sieghart.

Routier

 * Hair of Gold
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Mikuru can see the future now.
 * Seer
 * Senseless Sacrifice
 * Shrinking Violet
 * Took a Level in Jerkass: In the Boundary Plane. See Niel's Butt Monkey entry.
 * Vagueness Is Coming: Mixed with Futureshadowing in one event where she reads Sieg's fortune, only to be rattling off a few key events of the first game.

Sayane
"Friedelinde: AH! J-Just what do you think you're doing?! Sayane: Oh, only showing a little physical affection, to make up for all the time we've been apart. Friedelinde: Aaah! P-Please, not in my ear! Sayane: Oh my, have I found your weak point? *Blow* Friedelinde: N-Not the ear!"
 * Ambidextrous Sprite: Justified. She actually is ambidextrous, and due to the extreme lack of sense of direction she has no idea which hand she holds her knife in.
 * Bi the Way: While the Skinship Grope is pretty much a Running Gag in the Hot Springs Events, and typically just chalked up to the girls just playing around the event in the Boundry Plane gives us this;


 * Half-Human Hybrid: Half Human, Half Harpuia
 * Heroic BSOD
 * Knife Nut
 * No Sense of Direction: To the point where the concepts of left and right are genuinely confusing to her.
 * Senseless Sacrifice
 * Winged Humanoid: However, unlike Silvi from the first game, her wings are just for show due to being a halfbreed.

Mimel

 * Accidental Pervert / Innocent Fanservice Girl: Mimel asks to take a bath with Sieghart to play "Clean Everything" and "Tender, Soapy Embrace". He suspected she actually picked this up from Eugene, turns out it was Sayane who had been heard saying things like that.
 * Adult Child: The Power of Liberation is assumed to have damaged her mind, leaving her with the mentality of a small child.
 * Buffy-Speak: Is prone to these due to her attempts to make use of any word she learns. At worst this tends to border on being a Word Mangler.
 * Cool Big Sis
 * Dark Is Not Evil
 * Do Not Call Me Mimelia
 * Heroic Sacrifice: In the Normal Ending.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: It's Misao without the hyperactivity.
 * Literal Split Personality
 * Meaningful Name
 * Replacement Love Interest
 * Sinister Scythe
 * Third Person Person: She starts this way, but gets over it pretty quickly as she figures out how to properly communicate with people.
 * Together in Death: Normal Ending
 * Tareme Eyes
 * Underboob Window
 * Welcome Back, Traitor
 * Yum Yum: Takes a "Banana Bath" with Tetora.

Alice

 * Expy to Ellis. Starting with the name and going from there we've got a pink haired Elf with a monstrous bodyguard that fights with staffs. She even has the same Extended Area and game breaking EX Skill that Ellis had.
 * Amusingly, given that the series already has one, she's also likely to be mistaken for one for Hatsune Miku's append design. Thinner Twin Tails, a small chest, exposed feet, and the same person providing the voice. Agarest Zero was released almost a year before Miku's append.
 * The General's Daughter
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Saki Fujita, better known for being the voice of Hatsune Miku.
 * Ms. Exposition: Toward the start of the second generation she'll explain each character's role in raising Leonis, to Leonis.
 * Our Elves Are Different: High Elf
 * Team Mom: During the second generation.

Galios
"Galios: "Have you not noticed that our party lacks for young women? We must collect some who at least appear young--"
 * Blade on a Stick: This guy uses two at once!
 * Covert Pervert

Alice: "I beg your pardon, Galios... What did you just say?"

Galios: "Come now, master. Surely you are not losing your hearing already..."

Alice: "Galioooooos!""


 * Gentle Giant: When not in battle anyway.
 * Guardian Entity
 * Mighty Glacier: Rides the line between this and Stone Wall. You can push him one way or the other.
 * Oh Crap: His reaction to being seen by Linda in her Hot Spring outfit. In the outfit description but not the scene that unlocks it at least.
 * Our Gods Are Different: He's a Larva
 * Shrinking Violet: Surprisingly, he comes off as this pretty quick into the game thanks to another Shrinking Violet thanking him. Given that Larvae are supposed to be emotionless and he's not, coupled with his appearance it's not too surprising. He's not quite as bad as most examples though.

Eugene

 * Abusive Parent: Doesn't seem to think too highly of Niel, and mentions it. Often. He does actually care about him though, and may mention it if he's not around.
 * Almighty Janitor: Was temporarily promoted after Sieghart died, but was promptly demoted back to his old rank once Leonis was old enough to take command. He's ok with that.
 * Berserk Button: He begins losing his hair sometime between the two generations. You're best to avoid mentioning it.
 * Chivalrous Pervert
 * Crazy Prepared: Take a look at Niel's Big Damn Hero moment. Eugene had anticipated such an attack and if you brought Niel along he has him go into hiding for it.
 * Hot Dad: As of the second generation.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: Did this as part of his attempts to push Sieghart and Friedelinde forward in rank. Unfortunately for him, his real personality slowly faded away to this. His old self does come out on rare occasions still.
 * Shipper on Deck: Wants Friedelinde to end up with Sieghart and is willing to legitimately help her out when asked.
 * Sidetracked By The Missed Point: Like with Leonhardt & Winfield, Eugene finds himself sidetracked when Sieghart talks about boiling eggs in a hot spring. He quickly catches himself doing this and gets back to the matter at hand.
 * What the Hell, Hero?: Gets called out by the party about his emotional abuse toward Niel more than a couple times. Especially treating Leonis as more of a son than his own.

Tetora

 * Bandage Babe: She's this for a good portion of the second generation. She goes back to the look in the the post-game, simply because she feels it looks nice.
 * Big Eater: Apparently has something to do with being a mage. She eats enough that after Eugene had first offered to buy her dinner, every time food is discussed around Tetora it horrifies him.
 * Catgirl
 * Happily Adopted: By Apli and Thrisasaz
 * Lunacy: Like Sherufanir a full moon makes her excessively energetic. Incidentally this shows it was due to being a Neocolom.
 * Nature Hero
 * Sinister Scythe
 * Yum Yum: Takes a "Banana Bath" with Mimel.

Cal-Vina

 * Gameplay and Story Segregation: See Improbable Weapon User
 * Improbable Weapon User: Breakers. Why anyone let a man who'll "Peel his hand when asked to peel an apple" use one of these is a mystery.
 * Lethal Joke Character: In the first game Breaker using chracters were almost unusable due to a poor combination of stats and skill slots, as well as the weapons themselves not usually having skill slots that would compliment their own stats nor the setup of the character they were statistically good for. Cal-Vina does not have this problem, or at least not as much, to the point where he comes with the Double Needle combo skill and later on gains access to several passive abilities that ramp up any and potentially all of his stats and his ultimate EX Skill will actually destroy your enemies' SP, making it harder for them to use their own.
 * Magic Is a Monster Magnet
 * Weak but Skilled: Compared to other Onerthes his ability to see the future is almost non-existant. However when he does see something it's typically incredibly accurate and important.
 * Though it can be argued that Vira-Lorr would've seen the same vision a mile back.

Apli
"Apli: "I am Apli April, of the Rem Lorient. I am servent to none; a wandering lotus flower born in moonlight. I am pleased to make your acquaintance." Tetora: "Goodness me, it's been rather long since I've heard the whole thing.""
 * Aesop Amnesia: Averted. After escaping from the cursed mirror, Apli forgets everything that happened in there except for the Aesop; The Power of Friendship.
 * Early-Bird Cameo: Does't join until the second generation
 * Fantastic Racism: Hates Humans and Half-Breeds
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Since when was Yui level headed and calm?
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Our Fairies Are Different
 * Our Gods Are Different: Rem Lorient can eventually become Larvae, though it is incredibly rare. Apli hopes to make this transformation.
 * Shout-Out: A few numbers off but Forever 24?
 * One of her alternate outfits has her fit in more in a Console War than Agarest War.
 * Token Mini-Moe: Lampshaded. Eugene and Niel figure it would be best not to be checking her out, as it could land them in serious trouble.
 * Try to Fit That on A Business Card combined with a bit of Badass Boast

Leonis
""If you are about to eat a meal, you might say a prayer or somesuch, yes? But you would not say you were sorry. Well, I think this is much the same. Instead of apologizing to your meal, would it not be better to thank it? Better from the eater's point of view, of course, not necessarily the meal's. So from now on, instead of apologizing... I think it better for you to begin giving thanks instead. Um...That is what I was getting at, at least. Things may have gotten a little...confusing.""
 * Cruel Mercy: Hits  with this hard.
 * Dual-Wielding: Like Seighart he dualwields a good number of his potential weapon types.
 * Heroic Sacrifice: In the Normal Ending.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Hope Estheim with a lot more back bone and a lot more responsibility.
 * Identical Friend: Blonde!Leonis is mentioned as being able to pass as Niel's twin.
 * Like Brother and Sister with Mimel. Or not. Your call.
 * Likes Older Women: All of his potential love interests are older than he is.
 * Metaphorgotten


 * Red String of Fate: Mentioned in the Normal Ending.
 * Together in Death: Normal Ending
 * Wife Husbandry: Gender Flipped. As with Rex, almost all of his love interests had a hand in raising him.

Dana

 * The Blacksmith
 * Can Not Tell a Lie
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Good Old Fisticuffs
 * Like a God to Me: Hass Calinou
 * My Greatest Failure
 * Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Downplayed. While male Greer tend to fall in line with the usual images of a dwarf, Dana pretty much just has the Blacksmith thing going for her.
 * Skunk Stripe

Shernini

 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Defector From Decadence
 * Famous Ancestor: The founder of Syriumville, where you can find Sharona in Graccea.
 * Mad Scientist: Makes a Goliath Serum to increase the size of her female chickens so that there'd be bigger eggs to make 100 omelettes. The rest of the group calls her out on this, specifically that it just wouldn't work. On the eggs.

Niel
""I crush with mighty blows the chains of grim fate! I shatter with quick strikes vile conspiracies! The wandering gunman, Niel L. Lagrange, has arrived! You have been surrounded! There can be no escape for you! But I am no demon! Withdraw peacefully, and you may keep your lives! Retreat, or perish! The choice is yours!""
 * Badass Boast


 * Big Damn Hero: His Badass Boast was delivered after sending down a Rain of Bullets and then flying in from out of nowhere to stop a trio of Garvel from finishing off the rest of the group. Everyone is impressed that he pulled this off, even Eugene.
 * Butt Monkey: He's constantly teased for how short he is, his dad treats him like crap a little over half the time, he was traumatized by Hass Calinou as a child, and then the post-game takes it to extremes such as having Routier tell him that his scenes were honestly not that great to begin with, that he should probably just roll with the mistake he made on his line to get some fans, and maybe have just changed his character entirely to a Reckless Sidekick that always almost ends up dead, but always come back just in time to take a bullet for Leonis to renew his Heroic Resolve. That last bit leaves him seriously considering killing Routier.
 * Dude Looks Like a Lady: Not that it's obvious.
 * Identical Friend: Blonde!Leonis is mentioned as being able to pass as his twin.
 * The Napoleon
 * Put on a Bus: You can choose to do this to him. This is required for the true ending.
 * Schizo-Tech: Putting aside the use of guns for a moment, watch him move. The man has Rocket Boots!
 * The Bus Came Back
 * Turn Out Like His Father: Downplayed. He's of a smaller stature like his mother and father, has an obsession with beautiful women like Eugene, but unlike Eugene he felt that he had neither the mindset nor stature to fight with swords, so instead learned how to use guns.
 * The Unfavorite

Eleazal

 * Hey, It's That Voice!: It's Borgnine. Makes you wonder if Eleazal became a larva to become Ellis' protector.
 * My God, What Have I Done?
 * Parental Neglect
 * Reasonable Authority Figure

Zelger

 * Like a God to Me: Hass Calinou
 * Our Dwarves Are All the Same

Thrisasaz

 * I Have Many Names: Not that you actually get to learn them, but apparently he has them as Apli enjoys people suffering when they try to figure them out due to being "tongue-twisters of sinister proportions.".
 * Plant Person

Vashtor

 * Foregone Conclusion
 * Our Gods Are Different: A Larva
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: So much so that even the greater Gods will trust him without question.

Giganda

 * Foregone Conclusion
 * Our Gods Are Different: A Larva
 * Tempting Fate: "Our path is righteous, and we shall not stray from it."

Ernesto

 * Foregone Conclusion
 * Interface Spoiler: The Character Data Guide makes explicit mention of which god summoned him; Arumana. Guess who else was summoned by Arumana.
 * Our Gods Are Different: A Larva

Arzest

 * Big Damn Hero: Saves the party from a powered up Ganoia.
 * Foregone Conclusion
 * Our Gods Are Different: A Larva

Hass Calinou

 * Redemption Equals Death
 * Ultimate Blacksmith
 * Walking Shirtless Scene

Decimal
""Brawk! Buk-bukawak! (Translation: All who see me as food, step forward! With this beak, I shall destroy you!)""
 * Badass Boast: Played for Laughs of all things as the fourth wall had to be broken for him to deliver it!


 * Badass Normal: He's just a chicken, but he took on Giganda and lived.
 * Cool Pet
 * Eat the Dog: Shernini offers to cook him on a few occasions. He is not amused.
 * Refuge in Audacity: The only reason he, and by extension, the party survived their encounter with Giganda was because he attacked long enough for Niel to blind him and run. Giganda was not amused that he actually fell for it.
 * Refuge in Audacity: The only reason he, and by extension, the party survived their encounter with Giganda was because he attacked long enough for Niel to blind him and run. Giganda was not amused that he actually fell for it.

Rebecca

 * The Ghost: You never see her, but she's mentioned repeatedly. Oddly, her name doesn't come up until the post-game though.
 * Happily Married: To Eugene
 * Hot Mom: A bit of a Take Our Word for It case here since you never actually see her.
 * Red Baron: Witch of the Sand and Steam-Wreathed Assassin
 * What Exactly Is Her Job: After hearing what she's been known as, Sieghart would really like to know.

Varacade

 * Flash Step: He doesn't really move all that fast in game, but his moving animation displays this.
 * Limp and Livid
 * Twin Telepathy: This is how Ganoia finds out he's been killed.
 * The Worf Effect: Kills Sieghart, only for him to be revived stronger than before. Cue Curb Stomp Battle

Ganoia

 * Avenging the Villain: The only reason he's hunting down Sieghart is for killing his brother Varacade.
 * Big Brother Bully: Has nothing but disdain for Varacade
 * Flash Step: He doesn't really move all that fast in game, but his moving animation displays this.
 * Flawed Prototype: His Gem of Might doesn't work quite right.
 * Generation One Final Boss
 * I Lied: Never actually says this, but the act does occur.
 * Limp and Livid
 * Puny Humans: The only reason he even cares that Varacade died was because it was to a human, which just isn't right.
 * This Cannot Be!: His last words before imploding.
 * Twin Telepathy: This is how he realizes Varacade died.
 * With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Thanks to being given a Gem of Might after his first loss.

Universal Dark Knight Tropes

 * Artifact of Doom: The Gems of Might
 * Blood Knight
 * Foregone Conclusion
 * Our Gods Are Different: A Gurg
 * Superpowered Mooks: Until these guys came along Garvel were pretty much the biggest threat the Forces of Darkness had to offer.

Dark Knight Vashtor

 * Curb Stomp Battle:
 * Cruel Mercy States that Leonis isn't worth the effort to actively finish off, and that the wounds will kill him in time and just leaves him there.
 * Dual Boss Comes at you with the assistance of an unidentified Gurg the second time you fight him.
 * Duel Boss: The first time.
 * Fallen Hero
 * I Cannot Self-Terminate
 * I Die Free: Desperately wants this to happen. It doesn't.
 * Resistance Is Futile
 * Start of Darkness

Dark Knight

 * And I Must Scream: While Werdefahrt is said to be able to kill Gurgs, and unlike with the other Gurgs where it's only stated in their profiles, he was explicitly stated as having been sealed away by it destined to become a completely mindless puppet once he is freed.
 * The Berserker: Fittingly of all of the Gurg, he's the one with the least self control when it comes to killing people
 * Evil All Along
 * Obviously Evil: Before The Reveal
 * Smug Snake

Dark Knight

 * Fallen Hero
 * Mercy Kill: He requests that Leonis does this to him. While it would look like Leonis complied, the profiles state that he was only sealed away, and will be completely mindless once freed.
 * Noble Demon: He refuses to slaughter Findeste's citizens and keeps them safe from the others by claiming the citizens are reserves to be forced into action as needed. He's also willing to let the heroes live if they'd just hand over the remaining artifacts and stay out of the way.
 * Out of Focus: After being turned into a Gurg he takes a bit of a backseat to the other two.

Summerill

 * And Your Daughter Too
 * Big Bad Friend:
 * Blond Guys Are Evil
 * Our Gods Are Different: A Larva
 * Resistance Is Futile
 * Treacherous Advisor
 * Was Once a Man: Not him, his creations. He reveals the source of the Garvel to be Elves and High Elves.

Mila

 * Cleavage Window: Two of them. One up top, one below
 * "Friend or Idol?" Decision: Offers Leonis her assistance in killing Mobius and Summerill in the Boundary Plane, but because they already had all the party members allowed she couldn't come. She says she could still come if he'd just get rid of Sieghart or his mother. He doesn't even think about getting rid of his mother, that's a no, but he had to think on it for a bit about Sieghart. Still no. This then opens up an event where you can catch her, and Decimal, as a monster unit.
 * I Did What I Had to Do
 * Kick the Dog: Right in her introduction no less
 * Literal Split Personality
 * Omnicidal Maniac
 * Replacement Love Interest
