Kyonyuu Fantasy/Characters

Lute Hende
The primary protagonist of the story. Graduated dead last from the Knight Academy.


 * Accidental Pornomancer
 * Achievements in Ignorance: Much of the things he accomplishes are thanks to the help of others or things even he is not aware of. And sometimes such factors help him without his knowledge,
 * Almighty Janitor He graduated at the lowest rank in his class at the Royal Knight's Academy. (His scores were supposedly so low they set records.) However,.
 * Because You Were Nice to Me Almost all the girls he loves, love him back for reasons relating to this:
 * Be Yourself He invokes this with just about everyone he meets, especially with women.
 * Berserk Button Shockingly, he has one! Most of the time, he's a kind-hearted, patient, and tolerant man, but....
 * Beware of the Nice Ones Lute is usually a very calm and laid-back individual. However, even his patience has limits, such as . Another time, was during.
 * Blinding Bangs His red hair is always covering his eyes.
 * Born Lucky It's assumed this was why Lute manages to be so successful yet otherwise seem so unimpressive to most characters. Admittedly, one of his biggest accomplishments: . Was pretty much pure luck, which even HE admits and tried to convince everyone of, because.
 * Brilliant But Lazy Graduated bottom of his class at the Knight Academy, but.
 * Brutal Honesty Lute sometimes comes off as very vulgar with people, though most tend to get the fact that he's making jokes, sometimes the jokes are lost... Like when he
 * Cameo Prop He and several of the other characters appear on posters and merchandise in the anime adaptation of "Mankitsu Happening". Especially notable are a few posters of the scene from the KF anime when Lute first grabs onto Shamsiel's breast for the very first time.
 * Camp Cook During . However, despite scoring dead last in all classes at the Knight's Academy,, so he takes on this role for them. In fact, . Either way, Lute's skills in this help start to demonstrate that maybe he isn't as useless as she first assumed.
 * Chekhov's Gun Simply put: ..
 * Chivalrous Pervert He's very honest and straightforward with those he's around, especially the women, and yes he has an obvious thing for breasts, but he still treats them as people.
 * Conveniently an Orphan: Averted. Both of his parents are dead, but he is an adult by the time the story begins.
 * Covert Pervert Inverted. He's pretty honest about everything. However, he at least has SOME tact about it.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass Lute has more going for him than meets the eye. Besides being descended of godlike, demonic royalty; he's also a cunning wit of a sharp mind. Easily able to see and understand meanings where most other people who waste their time turning their noses up at whatever displeases to them fail to see. Not to mention because of his half-demon lineage he can survive normally fatal or detrimental intercourse with high tier demonessess, spell-casters and other cambion's like himself.
 * Dark and Troubled Past
 * Disappeared Dad.
 * Dude, Where's My Reward? When the Prefect of Boan and Madoise order him to exorcise the succubus that had been terrorizing the region, he asks them for a reward since they wouldn't give an order if there was no chance of success. They say they'll talk about it after (they expected him to die, so they promised him anything).
 * Eating the Eye Candy He does it with pretty much every female character he meets at least once.
 * Fearless Fool Lute is sometimes called this by those he meets. For his part, he DOES experience fear, but there are situations when others seem to think someone like him should be afraid, but he doesn't. He equates this more to him not fully realizing the severity of such situations given his laid-back nature rather than him being brave or actually fearless.
 * Fiery Redhead He's a mostly laid-back individual, and he doesn't have much of a temper. However, when it comes to something he's actually passionate about, he's second to none.
 * Genius Ditz Lute Hende both figuratively and sometimes literally trails into genius territories only to fall back into stupidity. More often then not he's usually pretty quick to piece together patterns and evidence of individual persona. Be it ascertaining of personal involvement in something obvious, secretive and/or larcenous only to second guess himself later and put it out of his mind.
 * Graceful Loser They call him a loser, and such, but he never really gives a crap about it, and generally makes the most of things.
 * It is revealed that he is.
 * H-Game POV Character Lute is an extremely positive example of a Type III A. His endings tend to end with him in Type I territory, though a few have shades of Type II A.
 * Handsome Lech He comes off as one in the anime adaptation due to most of his backstory and characterization not making it in.
 * Healing Hands Not exactly for healing of wounds, but his hands are able to . His hands also.
 * Heroic RROD Happens  to Lute in the entire story. First was during . The  time was when Lute was with ..
 * Heroic BSOD You'd think so, considering some of the things he goes through would probably result in this, but Lute never seems to lose hope. He mostly attributes it with his laid-back carefree nature, rather than him being brave or fearless. The closest times he gets to this are: In Isis' route, . In Luceria and the Harem route, there are a few moments..
 * Hidden Depths What so many people fail to realize (himself included half the time) is that there are so many good qualities to Lute that no one really ever notices. His calm, cool and collected demeanor enables for better rational though than those of narrow mindedness born of their own station in life. Being open, honest and of a pure mindset, he has no ego to exploit and while also being a bit of a sexual deviant. He's not the type to be bribed or bullied into corruption or selfish action like so many others around him. Lute is also astonishingly perceptive of his surroundings, almost easily able to read people like an open book from simple exchanges of words or observation of actions.
 * Humble Hero Through his entire story, he remains completely humble the entire time. Never once does he flaunt his rank or accomplishments in the faces of others . He even discusses this at times with others,.
 * In both the anime and visual novel,.
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness Like you wouldn't believe, even Isis comments that Lute's kindness and compassion for others is the only inhuman thing about him. See Hidden Depths above for greater details.
 * Informed Ability His, as was his . Another interesting ability Lute has is.
 * Jerk Ass Many initially thought he was this. Why? Simply because he graduated last in his class..
 * In Shamsiel's route, he.
 * Even HE didn't know... . In the anime version,.
 * Leaning on the Fourth Wall Seeing as most of the story is told from Lute's perspective or with him narrating, it comes with the territory. One of the better moments of this is during the epilogue of ."
 * Lover Tug of War . Throughout all this, it never fully stops them from being jealous of the others and possessive of Lute.
 * Living Aphrodisiac His status grants him magical hands,.
 * Magnetic Hero While initially seen as the lowest form of gutter trash in the kingdom even by others who aren't much better off. As the story goes on and people get to know him better he really shows why he's the hero of the story. Shamsiel's becoming a loyal acolyte, Roxanne's giving him her undying love, the guardsmen of Boan revering him like a warrior saint, the normally bitchy Isis mellowing out after an assignment or two with him. Again when and after he'd bested the unbeatable Gladys in chess of all things, bonus points for making her fall for him afterwards. Having the three old bastards who hassled him earlier for being the lowest rank graduate acknowledge him as and after doing what they could not. Even the King himself took a shine to Lute upon their first meeting. Lute might not think of himself highly but the steady fanbase he's garnered for himself speaks otherwise.
 * Making Love in All the Wrong Places.
 * On Lute's hands, . For this reason,.
 * Me's a Crowd.
 * Missing Mom Neither of Lute's parents make physical appearances in either the anime or visual novel, but his mother's voice is heard through flashbacks. And, technically speaking, she IS seen (though obscured) in at least 1 piece official art in the series' art book as seen here..
 * Mr. Exposition Considering the Visual Novel is told from Lute's POV, this comes naturally. Interestingly, it helps show just how much more Lute actually knows about the world and things around him than most other characters initially think.
 * Nice Guy He's a calm and laid-back person, he doesn't see the point in getting mad or upset about small stuff so he's generally very nice to everyone. Some even comment it seeming "inhuman" with how "humane" he treats others. A perfect example of how polite he is:
 * Potty Emergency Compliments of secretly having the Chef make him a  which he served on the morning of Lute's . It was intended to.
 * The Pornomancer Him being the protagonist of a visual novel known as "Funbag Fantasy", it should be no surprise. Except that
 * Too Good for This Sinful Earth dangerously near played straight, Lute is hands down one of the only few good, honest and chivalrous individuals not bogged down by their own personal baggage and/or boisterously rotten personalities. Even upon the moment of his execution he found time to have a friendly chat with his killers before his demise. Most everyone else in story would be either too bigoted or cowardly to'ev bothered. Many of which are either arrogant, sleazy, conceited, pompous, ignorant or depraved in their own right.
 * Rags to Royalty His story is sort of this, but at the same time isn't. Hear me out....
 * Reassigned to Antarctica: How everybody treats him being assigned to Boan, which has a fame of being an horrible place.
 * Real Men Cook.
 * Road Runner vs. Coyote Oh... so, so, so, so, so, so VERY DAMN MUCH. One wouldn't believe how many Ungrateful Bastard's Lute has to dodge on a regular basis throughout the story on account of the prideful, outdatedly egocentricated Wretched Hive of incompetence, scheming, backbiting and manipulation he grew up into. Prime Minister Rubin practically played everyone who lived in Edelland like the tools or some other such instrument they all really are for years on end, yet when he and others focused their time and talents on testing or derailing the unknown Wild Card nobody regarded with significance that he; Lute in general, truly is. He really began to outshine and outlast all these jerks with their highbrow opinions and petty scams.
 * Impossible Task Lute and others are sent on one of these at lest thrice a week. Irregardless of the route this regularly bites Rubin and similar conniving individuals in the ass in several ways. For example,.
 * Failure Is the Only Option The Prime Ministers's saboteur in Burstinhalter; who'd regularly set up the three generals and Gladys on a self destructive collision coarse to undermine both sides on Rubin's orders. Suggested a number of lackluster schemes that would either A. Get rid of an incompetent leader whom his (supposed) commanding officers disliked anyway, B. Incriminate said officers for attempted assassination on a superior in favor of enemy forces, C. Eliminate the opposing sides leader whence she's in custody in order to cover his tracks and undercut the rebel movement, D. Splicing the Commander's food with laxatives in order to hamper his chances of winning a duel of fates chess game.
 * Unwanted Rescue When Isis, during the Girupon Woods arc; regularly attempted to attack him after um... Events which regularly saved her life. An enclave of demons would normally swoop in and save his bacon, usually at her expense though, where he would end up making it out alive only to throw himself in harms way just to saver her again..
 * Tampering with Food and Drink Happens alot, first in Roxanne's story line with the Prefect and his bootlicker spiking his drink with aphrodisiacs, luckily the good bad duke of duplicity keeled over in the act before he could act on anything. Back in Bustenhalter Gwom Buin who'd been playing both rebels and the kings men against each other under Prime Minister Rubin Von Bernstein's orders, had spiked his food with laxatives before the big chess match against the enemy leader. This all backfired spectacularly on the dirt bag ending in his exposure as a traitor and eventual suicide. Bernstein himself had prepared poisoned wine to give the thorn in his side and was real persistent in sharing when Lute kept refusing it, again said individual skirted disaster thanks to Felzen's arrival.
 * Humiliation Conga well for all parties involved (besides lute that is), where to begin?
 * Shamsiel; (technically) was surprised and somewhat appalled that Lute managed to survive intercourse with her..
 * Motaire; Wow! Does he ever suffer this, and not only is it long, grueling and repetitive; it is oh-so richly earned.
 * Madoise and Prefect Irboyne; their scheme to get the distraught townspeople off both their backs by feeding Lute to the problem then blaming him for it ends with Lute himself gaining a staunch ally against the both of them, their schemes and future threats to his well being. It was only icing on the cake that in their initial plan to disgrace him and the Prefect's wife so he could legally divorce her. That the jerk suffered a heart attack Twice on account of his being an utterly irredeemable dirtball who creeped on his wife with Loli's, hoards anything of value all to himself and treated his townspeople and the town it self like garbage. All in all he was a traitor, liar, thief and a cheater as well as an all around awful husband and human being in general; frankly it's no wonder Roxanne was glad to see him go.
 * Bobon; Oh more than once in fact, his getting revealed as a traitorous accomplice behind the latter two's planned rebellion in Boan because his father would never let him ascend the throne ended in his banishment to Lingobard, . Afterwards he would seek out ultimate power by stealing the Hallowed Hand abilities of the demon race only to be dumbfounded twice, with Isis he makes his way into the Demon Woods only to be hideously molested to death by over protective foliage thus ending his ascension for demonic kingship. Again when he does obtain Divine Demonic Majesty planning to abuse all that power in order to make life for the world and everyone at large as miserable as possible, he makes the mistake of pissing off Lute which triggers his memory as the true Demon King; wherein Lute summarily flash fry's the portly prince where he stood. His final mortification comes when after he's crowned prince and spectates Lutes Execution. When they are freed by Lute's friends, lovers and affiliated associates; Emeralia reveals both his and the Prime Minister's treachery to the public; when they both attempt to flee the two are cornered by Gladys and Felzen backed by the palace guard. Bobon is quickly thrown to the wolves by Rubin as the latter makes his escape, where after the dumb cow gets his from the commander of the Guard he fired and relegated.
 * The Prime Minister; of all the people on this list, this guy had his migraine bombardment coming the hardest.
 * The Assassins; in general these guys just cannot catch a break. The first one rented out to that dumbass cow's employ whom he had sign the document which condemns both for their crimes was easily dumbfounded by The Succubus's magic. Later iterations have them being assigned by the three generals to deal with Lute under the bad advice of Duan Goin, which later gets them all clobbered by the former while he's asleep. Professional hitmen dealt with by a sleep fighter then killed by a Succubus, Talk about embarrassing.
 * Isis; although technically she kind of deserve's it. Her constant belittling, threatening to kill him and all around belligerence in the Girupon Woods is in and of itself one long humiliation congola. Her betrothed's constant cheating and general mistreatment of her had made Isis's sour personality all the more bitter than it already was. So much so it got to the point her own men desert her out of anger in height of fear of the forest, her swinging and clanging her sword around drawing unwanted attention to herself when she was advised NOT to Do So ends up getting her envenomed by a demon world insect. Finally to top it all off she ends up ensnared by a old magical world construct coming down with a bad fever caused by its sap, which would've claimed her life afterwords, and that was before her getting kidnapped by demons loyal to the Hallowed Hand descendants when she attacked him after Lute's saving her life.
 * Roaring Rampage of Rescue Hilariously done in Isis' route by Lute,.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something Regardless of his rises in rank, he usually takes it upon himself to get things done, but he is also smart enough to recognize when other people would be better suited to completing certain tasks instead of him, so he will request they do so..
 * Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny Sure, he's the main protagonist of a fantasy nukige game, but hear me out: . Then, another time this comes up is with . There was also the matter of . Lastly, there's the matter of Luceria. . Hilariously, in.
 * Sword and Sorcerer Lute uses a sword, although he's not very skilled with it.... Unless you mean the sword in his- Nevermind. Shamsiel is a succubus and is VERY skilled with her magical powers. Inversely,.
 * Their First Time In both the anime and visual novel (regardless of the route), his first time is with Shamsiel in Boan when he "exorcises" her.
 * Trademark Favorite Food In both the anime and visual novel his favorite food is... Bread.
 * Underestimating Badassery What a lot of people tend to do whenever they first meet with this guy. Only few individuals with any sense to notice his underlying gifts were Shamsiel, King Hagel and probably Luceria. Prime Minister Rubin was the biggest dope of all who fell prey to this trope, Repeatedly. Sending him on all these impossible missions hoping he'd fumble and croak only to thrive and gain new insight into his own capabilities every time, even gaining some staunch allies while furthering his own influence within the kingdoms politics. The generals Zant, Schlamm and Felzin are just as guilty in this as they'd taken some bad advice from Guam Loin in hiring assassins who Lute dispatches with the utmost ease; . Emeralia also counts since she was initially put up to seduce lute with her sex magic, only for her to succumb to his underlying machismo instead (with some help from Shamsiel of coarse).
 * Undying Loyalty Lute is very loyal to his comrades, his kingdom, his family, and his loved ones.
 * Unfit for Greatness He himself, thinks he is this. One reason is because, he doesn't really care about being a big-shot or having power or status above others. All he cares about is mostly simple things and is content to making the most of just about any situation he's in. . Why?.
 * Visual Innuendo Lute's sword's hilt. It's almost a running gag. Watch the anime and pay close attention to how it almost always looks as though it's pointing to/from a specific area of his body then remember what one actually does with a sword. Seriously. Look at his image, it's even happening there!
 * When It All Began Lute reveals to that he developed his large breast fetish upon meeting her during his time at the Royal Knight's Academy, in fact it led him to.
 * X Marks the Spot.
 * Your Approval Fills Me with Shame Motaire hates hearing anything that comes out of his mouth, even when Lute is legitimately trying to help or apologize to him or give him some friendly advice, he always thinks Lute is talking down to him like a jerk..
 * Zero Effort Boss He wins some considerably difficult battles, challenges, and other situations he gets into with almost no effort on his part. He admits this and thus never even attempts to make it seem like he actually did anything. Such as:.

Shamsiel Sahar
A succubus demon-girl that falls in love with Lute Hende after he survives a night in bed with her. She had been attacking townsmen in Boan at the start of the story. She amuses herself by taunting (practically) everything, and although she doesn’t let it show right away, she has a deep concern for Lute, and constantly worries about him}}. "Voiced by: Miyu Inoue aka Kanematsu Yuka (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage Her outfit leaves little to the imagination, but justified with her being a succubus, it makes perfect sense.
 * And Your Reward Is Clothes
 * Badass in Distress Most of the time, Shamsiel is easiest the most powerful person in any room she enters ..
 * Break The Cutie.
 * Berserk Button She doesn't like it when people constantly belittle or act mean toward Lute, and even offers to devour them, and . She also doesn't like it whenever.
 * Big Damn Heroes.

 * Brutal Honesty Shamsiel is never one to mince words. She says what she wants, when she wants, to (and about) whoever she wants..
 * Blatant Lies.
 * But Not Too Bi: She's a succubus, so she prefers to attack men.
 * Bully Hunter: She's not very fond of people who disrespect or continuously mock Lute. He tells her not to bother attacking them since he doesn't care if they treat him like that,
 * Cameo: She and many of the characters appear on posters and merchandise in the anime adaptation of "Mankitsu Happening" including her being on the cover of a manga book being read by a character in one of the trailers. Shamsiel also happens to be the one to appear the most in said cameos overall with several posters including a few featuring a screenshot from the KF anime of Lute grabbing her breast for the first time. It's kind of funny when you realize said images are supposedly decorating the walls of a regular manga shop, NOT an adult shop or anything like that.
 * Chekhov's Gun Simply put: ..
 * Covert Pervert Subtlety and sexuality are never mixed with her in pretty much any way. She says what she wants, when she wants it, and often times goes straight for it. However, the only actual "covert" part of this trope applies to how she tends to use her magic to conceal her presence from others and spy on them, even during their more  But then...
 * Clingy Jealous Girl Surprisingly enough... or not! However, at the same time,  With that being said, there is at least  genuine instance of her showing jealousy towards . The reason for this was because Shamsiel could  However, she actually
 * Cute Monster Girl Cute? Definitely. Monster? She's a high-class demon, so she can be at times just ask her victims aside from Lute... Oh wait!.
 * Cute Little Fangs She sports them well, and they're a nice reminder that she's not human. She's a succubus, and make no mistake: If you do anything to insult her or otherwise piss her off... She. will. EAT YOU UP!
 * Death by Sex Happens to most of her "victims". Lute is the only man to survive an actual night with her
 * Did You Just Have Sex? She calls Lute out on this a few times, usually to tease him about it, but.
 * Defeat Means Friendship After she and Lute's first night together where he survives sex with her, this happens. Although in the anime it stays at this level, in the Visual Novel,
 * Early Bird Cameo In the anime adaptation, she's the first character to appear. Seconds before it shows her devouring a man in Boan.
 * Even Evil Has Standards While not so much evil, she's still a member of a demonic race, but there are lines even she wouldn't cross.
 * In the all routes,.
 * Erotic Eating In just about every sense, but given her status as a succubus, it's no surprise.
 * Eyes of Gold She has gorgeous golden eyes that also glow in the dark, making them Glowing Eyes of Doom too.
 * Fate Worse Than Death Being a succubus, those whom she engages in intercourse with die when she "drains" them. An in-story example is what happened to.
 * Feminine Women Can Cook Surprised?.
 * Fiery Redhead Though she may not have the temper of most examples of this, anyone who knows even a little about her, knows she has a burning passionate side. She's very outgoing, she'll always speak her mind, and she could care less who knows it.
 * Gag Boobs
 * Game Breaker Her powers easily make her seem like this, but then again it certainly has justifications given how long she's been alive (implied 1000 years or so), in fact, being a succubus means she is 2nd only to the incubus in the demon hierarchy so of course her powers would match. The list of abilities she displays are....
 * Gondor Calls For Aid In the Harem Route, when Lute is . For her part, Shamsiel was !
 * Good Adultery, Bad Adultery.
 * Good All Along After their first night,.
 * Hidden Depths At first you're busy looking at her gorgeous body, then you either... well... DIE! Thanks to her sucking you dry. OR you get to know her and find out she has a Hidden Heart of Gold on top of being very intelligent, wise, and powerful too.
 * Horny Devil Make no mistake, she's a succubus. So her interests, hobbies, thoughts, and desires have one thing in common. Of course, she DOES have actual horns, wings, and a tail.
 * Hot Witch Being a succubus, she has an array of magical powers such as flight, being able to change weapons into carrots, able to kill human men by draining their life force, warping long distances quickly, able to lift large amounts of weight, can phase through walls and the floor, and can even become invisible to anyone she wants and control who is able to see her at will.
 * Happiness in Slavery: After their first night together, she joyfully declares herself to be Lute's sex slave in the anime adaptation, although she calls herself a concubine in the visual novel. It changes later depending on the route.
 * Heroic Comedic Sociopath After she falls in love with Lute, she generally listens to what he says, but that doesn't mean she fully changes who she is. For instance:.
 * Interspecies Romance Her being a succubus, which is a class of demon, and Lute being human...
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy In the routes where you don't choose her, she basically ends up doing this.
 * Joined Your Party: She's the first woman Lute meets that . Lute was pretty surprised when he first met her.
 * Killed Off for Real.
 * Ki Attacks: Her magic takes all manner of forms, but when she and Lute are.
 * At first, when she sees Lute in Boan, she.
 * Living Aphrodisiac: She's a succubus, so it's very hard to resist her, and very easy to be ensnared by her.
 * Lingerie Scene I know what you're thinking, and it's true almost all scenes with her could count, but this is about one specific scene for her: It happens in the, when Lute first arrives to . However, it becomes this when Lute gives Shamsiel a gift he'd requested directly from the King while he had been in the capital:
 * Lovable Sex Maniac She's a su-ccu-bu-s, so of course she's this.
 * Love Hungry: Succubi feed on the life force and seed of men. It usually leaves them shriveled up, dried out, and dead.
 * Made of Iron Not in the way of being actually durable...unless you count in the bedroom, but her demonic powers allow her to phase through solid objects including bullets, but apart from magic or magic objects, she is near-invulnerable to everything.
 * Matchmaker Crush In a few of the routes, she helps Lute out with his other love interests even though she loves him too.
 * Moment Killer Almost immediately after every. single. touching moment Lute has with any other girl besides her, the second he's alone she will almost always appear from nowhere to playfully tease him about what just happened. That said, she tends to use this to lead into having her own moments with him as well. In fact, she also inverts this trope sometimes for the benefit of Lute's other love interests when she uses her magic to prevent outsiders from disturbing Lute and whoever he's currently being intimate with.
 * Ms. Exposition She's been around for a long time, she has a lot of experience and skills thanks to that, and is also very wise, and Dangerously Genre Savvy yet her playful nature tends to make others forget this about her. Well, that and the fact that apart from Lute and other demons, any other humans that see her tend to be her "meals" who don't exactly get the chance to talk after encountering her.
 * Ms. Fanservice: She's pretty much the poster-girl/mascot of the series, and for good reason! Sure, all the women can count as this to various degrees, but Shamsiel stands or rather SOARS high above the rest as this, and it's justified since she's a SUCCUBUS!
 * My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That: She can read Lute like a book, and openly teases him about it, but at the same time, he knows she has feelings for him too, which she teases him about too.
 * Not So Abandoned Building: Just because you can't see, hear, or sense her, doesn't necessarily mean she isn't around. Her powers make her able to reveal herself to anyone she wants, anywhere, anytime, and she takes full advantage of that fact. She can even control how many people in a crowd can see her or not,.
 * No Angels: According to her, the idea that demons can't enter Churches and holy places is a load of crap. However,.
 * During the climax of the . A feat, she teasingly points out to him by saying "Zero points!"
 * Nice All Along Initially, she seemingly wanted to kill Lute during their first meeting in Boan, but after their night together she chooses to stay by his side..
 * Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant Most of the time we see her, we're either too busy laughing along with (or at) her jokes and playful antics or we're distracted by her hotness. But, there are a few moments in both the anime and visual novel where she reminds us just what she as a succubus (2nd highest class of demon) is capable of doing to the average person. Especially men.
 * Obviously Evil Zigzagged. . That said, Lute . Actually, Spanner in the Works also comes into play here, because.
 * Our Demons Are Different She's a succubus, which according to her is near the top of the demon hierarchy. However, aside from her near-insatiable sexual hunger, she acts more humanely toward Lute than probably anyone else.
 * Oh Crap Most if not everyone she comes in contact with has this sort of reaction when they first see her. It's not like there isn't good reason for it, but still.
 * Opera Gloves They're pretty close to being Detached Sleeves, except that they extend to her hands and are similar to Fingerless Gloves.
 * Pep Talker Whenever Lute seems to be feeling down or unworthy of praise, Shamsiel will almost always appear to say or do something to cheer him on and up.
 * Perky Female Minion At times, she comes across as this to Lute.
 * Pool Scene
 * The Pornomancer Zigzagged. SHE is a succubus, and thus she has little to no interest in women as far as wanting to "feed" on them. Having said that, she DOES at the very least acknowledge when other women are attractive in some way or another, especially as far as comparing boobs goes. There's also the fact that since she's a succubus, she makes it pretty clear that she can pursue and ensnare any man she wants with literally lethal results of success. Having said that, after her first night with Lute (which is supposedly the first and only time a man had survived being with her), she decides to stay with him from then on rather than feed on other men, because as she puts it: his "tastes" the best.
 * Quirky but Competent Her personality, attitude, and disposition makes her seem mostly carefree and fun-loving, but when the time comes, she is more than capable of handling nearly any situation with ease. Thanks in part due to both her powers and the amount of experience she has had since she has lived a lot longer than most if not all other characters we meet directly in the story.
 * Royal Blood As a succubus, her species is apparently the 2nd highest ranking class of demon. To the point where she even makes the claim that it puts her ABOVE the other women Lute knows, such as ..
 * In her route, after.
 * Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Lute is definitely smart, though unskilled in most areas. Meanwhile, Shamsiel is an energetic succubus with an insatiable appetite for fun...
 * Sex Face Turn: Her status before actually meeting Lute is hard to gauge. She's a succubus who at least by the start of the story, had killed several men in the Boan region alone by feeding off of them. She claims that she wasn't trying to kill them and they just died from only a little exposure to her, but that was likely a lie. She then uses her powers to ensnare Lute and proceeds to take his virginity. During which time, he surprises her with his being able to survive being with her which would be lethal to normal men. He takes it even further by making her feel good instead, and thus wins her over. The next morning, she happily declares herself to being his sex slave and she will stay with him forever. The rest is history...
 * She's Got Legs She sure does! Her being a succubus and all, it's no surprise. She wears a pair of high-heeled, dark purple, zip-up boots with the zipper seemingly always partially opened. She also wears light purple, thigh-high stockings with garter straps connecting them to the rest of her outfit..
 * Single Target Sexuality After that first night with Lute, she claims that she will only ever do anything sexual with him ever. That's not to say she wouldn't use her powers on those who wronged or attempted to harm Lute, such as.
 * Sleep Cute In the anime,.
 * Stalker with a Crush: Done playfully for the most part, but zigzagged since in some routes it is hinted that.
 * Stripperiffic: Her outfits are this... Justified, given she's a succubus. Lute even mistakes her for a "cute prostitute" the first time he sees her, much to her delight at being called "cute".
 * Supporting Harem: Depending on which route you pick, determines her role in this to Lute.
 * Serenade Your Lover In the route, she . . Special note.
 * Talented Princess, Regular Guy Played with in that, she isn't explicitly a "princess", she is a very powerful succubus which according to her is near the top of their world's demon hierarchy. Lute on the other hand graduated at the very bottom of the class at the Knight Academy, and while it may have some prestige to it, he wasn't especially skilled in most areas anyway,.
 * Troll: She absolutely loves messing around with people. During the story, she has many moments where she teases Lute, but most of the time she does it playfully..
 * Their First Time.
 * Unfit for Greatness: Inverted, every time Lute says something about how he doesn't feel worthy of the recognition, prestige, or rise in rank for something he was part of, he points out how most of it was either a fluke or it was thanks to others, especially Shamsiel, and yet each time he DOES say that, Shamsiel always tells him to accept it and keep working to move forward and continue on. One could say that it was thanks to her that he ever got anywhere at all in anything. (Again, he knows this, so he is both humble and grateful towards her for it.)
 * Interestingly enough, Shamsiel actually has a more direct version of this trope applied to herself during a few of the routes, ESPECIALLY the . For you see, thanks to the Demon Execution Order, it was forbidden by law for humans and demons to marry . Shamsiel however, would never be able to do like that, because succubus can't pass themselves off as humans due to their demonic features: horns, tail, wings, and fangs. So....
 * Villain Protagonist: She's a demon, so people view her and her kind as vile monsters, but in reality she is very nice once you get to know her. Otherwise... Have fun while it lasts.
 * What the Hell Hero: After her first night with Lute, she may be on Lute's side, but don't expect that to mean she fully abandons her succubus ways..
 * X Marks the Hero:.
 * Yandere: SO close. Shamsiel's powers, personality, and mannerisms put her SO close to being a yandere, and yet she isn't. Why? Because as clingy as she is, she's better than that. She truly loves Lute, and that love grows deeply as the story progresses, but no matter what choice you make, she doesn't go the Yandere way, and instead goes with I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy..
 * You Taste Delicious: She says this about Lute..

It doesn't take long for them to get royally fed up with Isis's bitchiness (trying to force a scared person to stay somewhere while threatening them tends to not make one popular). Isis, .

 * Then, during the Harem Route where Lute had been accused of treason by the Prime Minister and sentenced to death from a crime he didn't commit. When approached by Motaire; who was among the first to eagerly flat out invest in Lute's guilt in the deed. She gave him a slap in the face and a well-deserved verbal middle finger after all the abuse he put her through during their initial nuptials; what with him being a cheating bastard in spite of him supposed to being her fiance, a tool of a man motivated by vanity and an all around self absorbed nitwit who cannot see obvious truths over his own ego. All this on top of jailing the man she came to respect, admire, and love most? In all honesty it was kinda asked for.

She also entered the Royal Knight's Academy and graduated 2nd highest in her class overall and the top female graduate in the history of the academy. By that point, she was basically set for life... Or so you'd think, except that which made things difficult for her... The trope more or less comes to fruition thanks to Lute in 2 routes:

Princess of the Edelland Kingdom. She is Prince Bobon's step-sister. "Voiced by: Fujimora Yukina aka Konoha (JP)"

 * Attractiveness Isolation She's a princess, she's very pretty, but her contact with others is kept to a minimum.
 * ... Later on,.
 * Badass Princess She may not be as skilled in combat, but make no mistake, she is very deadly in her own ways. Not to mention, during the route after.

 * Be a Whore to Get Your Man In her route, from her lessons in . This leads to her . Done somewhat in the, because.

 * Leitmotif She's the only character who genuinely HAS one just for her. It's even named "Princess Theme".
 * Looping Lines Most of the voiced female characters (at least those who have visuals) have at least 1 H-scene..
 * Love At First Sight While the princess didn't know who Lute was and vice versa when they first met. She admitted to feeling a sudden something for him as he asked for directions since he was late to getting his graduation certificate. This is evident when requesting the new commander to be lenient with Gladys and after which as she asked Emeralia and Rubin Von Bernstein when he'd return.
 * Marshmallow Hell She is the gatekeeper to the biggest case of this..
 * More Deadly Than the Male Between her and her brother, she's actually the more dangerous of the 2. Except that she isn't evil or a spoiled man-child idiot like him, so unless you're her enemy, you've got nothing to worry about. Having said that,.
 * Nice Girl It's not even fair to try and compare her to her brother in terms of how nice they are. She's as kind, gentle, and sweet as can be. He's a spoiled rotten, pompous, fat, ugly, vulgar, and dimwitted jackass. All that being said, even SHE recognizes how unfit her brother is to be King or have any real authority in any way.
 * Opera Gloves They're pretty close to being Detached Sleeves, except that they extend to her hands and are similar to Fingerless Gloves.
 * Princess Classic Surprisingly enough, for a fantasy nukige h-game visual novel, you'll be shocked to know how much she both is and IS NOT this. Sure, she IS a princess: She was born one, dresses as one, is timid/shy, very kind to others, and many consider her the World's Most Beautiful Woman (look at her image and there's no need to guess why). But at the same time, she actually is NOT a Princess Classic simultaneously for a number of reasons:
 * Princesses Prefer Pink See her image.
 * The Quiet One At first, she's very timid and shy thanks to her sheltered upbringing..
 * Quirky Household Her family is royal but man is it quirky..
 * Royal Blood Her father is the King of Edelland. Her mother, was his . This means Luceria is.

King Hagel von Diamante I
The King of Edelland. He is the father of Prince Bobon and Princess Luceria. He lives in the royal palace in Shoenburg, the capital city of Edelland. During the time of the story, he has been trying to initiate political reform from a system of (allegedly greedy) nobles ruling territories to that of a Knighted Bureaucracy (a meritocracy) where skilled, educated, and loyal knights would control territories instead. "Voiced by: Atsuya Takizawa (JP)"


 * Berserk Button Yes! HE has one, and it's pretty funny when it shows up. {{spoiler|It has to do with people making inappropriate and rude comments about those of higher positions than themselves. E.G. When he asked Lute to teach his daughter, Luceria swordplay and Motaire shouted out he would be better than that "loser" or "guy", the King finally shows us his angry side. Motaire even makes it worse by not simply shutting up and leaving while he could, and ends up being kicked out and barred from entering the king's chambers for a while. {{Spoiler|Another nod to this would be his denouncing those who act superior in general when their being foolish in reality, the aforementioned jerkass running his mouth about the Bustenhalter conflict was proof of this. As Motaire was acting like he could've done a better job than General Felzen, King Hagel did not like that at all.}}
 * Big Good Is this overall in the Visual Novel and anime. {{spoiler|To the point that just being in his presence makes one feel positive}}.
 * Catchphrase Of sorts. Nearly every conversation he has in the visual novel, starts with him saying something along the lines of "Wooooooah!"
 * {{spoiler|Death Flag}} {{spoiler|It doesn't take long to figure out that Lute would eventually ascend the throne by the end. Some might assume this would mean that the king may turn out Evil All Along, but he doesn't. Instead, you knew he was going to die the second he told Lute his plans to announce him as his successor and then to retire within a year or so, with Lute taking the throne from there. Granted, there were clues before that, but that was pretty much THE death flag that leaves no doubt. Interestingly, he almost died in Luceria's ending, since the Prime Minister ordered Emeralia to go kill him herself, and she seemingly WAS going to, except that Isis was with him, so she had to abort, and then the King with Isis, went to visit Lute, and caught him and Luceria alone in Lute's room together, and it was exactly how it seemed. The King actually accepted them together and declared that Lute would marry Luceria and be his successor that way}}.
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good {{spoiler|The Prime Minister doesn't care for the King or anything he does, so long as he is able to manipulate him, and control the kingdom from the shadows, he couldn't care less about any of the good the King or anyone else tries to do}}.
 * Evil Is Deathly Cold Inverted. {{spoiler|When Lute first meets with the King AND the Prime Minister in the same place, he compares how it feels to be in their presence. The Prime Minister he felt, gave him a cold and dark feeling, while the King seemed to light up the room with positive feelings}}.
 * {{spoiler|Found the Killer, Lost the Murderer}} {{spoiler|In the Harem Route, the Prime Minister murders him and has Emeralia plant the dagger in Lute's room to frame him. It works, and Lute is thrown in the dungeon and sentenced to death... Don't worry, the truth gets revealed by the end}}.
 * Genre Savvy {{spoiler|He knew about the spy in Vunderbalt, as well as the fact that the Prime Minister was up to something behind his back. Also, given his diatribe with Lute in regards to his conduct with Gladys... lets just say you figure out who Luceria gets her sharp intuition from.}}
 * The Good King All things considered, he's a good king, a reasonable man, and he was making considerable progress in improving things for his Kingdom's citizens. {{spoiler|Too bad he was constantly being (somewhat) unwittingly manipulated by the Prime Minister.}}
 * {{spoiler|Horrible Judge of Character}} {{spoiler|Zigzagged. See Idiot Ball with regards to the Prime Minister.}}
 * {{spoiler|Idiot Ball}} {{spoiler|He reveals that he knew the Prime Minister was scheming something behind his back all along, but never actually calls him out on it and the Prime Minister eventually murders him via a knife In the Back. Was his reason for not acting before then due to lack of actual proof of the Prime Minister's crimes? Was it because maybe the Prime Minister was possibly holding the secret of his wife and daughter's demonic origins over him? Or was it perhaps because of something to do with Emeralia? We never find out the answer}}.
 * {{spoiler|Interspecies Romance}} {{spoiler|Secretly, his second wife who is also Luceria's Mother was a Nymph, but that information was kept secret from practically everyone. He knew, but pretty much nobody else did (except Emerlia and the Prime Minister somehow). Not even Luceria was ever told about it, but that was likely for her protection}}.
 * Informed Ability {{spoiler|It's never mentioned, but somehow he was able to have sex with a (confirmed) Nymph, which is a class of demon that apparently has magical properties similar to that of a succubus. Meaning, that somehow King Hagel I a regular human survived having sex with her multiple times which even led to the birth of their half-human half-nymph daughter, Luceria. Unless he turns out to have been part-demon, but there's no evidence of that being the case}}.
 * Just a Few Feet Away His guards were {{spoiler|literally RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR! Yet they didn't hear anything when the King was murdered by the Prime Minister, until he had already made it seem like the King was dead when they got there...}}
 * {{spoiler|Kill and Replace}} {{spoiler|The Prime Minister had already taken steps to bring in Bobon shortly before he murdered the King, and quickly had him take the throne almost the next morning}}.
 * {{spoiler|Killed to Uphold the Masquerade}} The reason was because the {{spoiler|Prime Minister wanted someone in the position of king that he could secretly use as a pawn while HE supposedly controlled the kingdom. When the King said he was going to make Lute his successor, the Prime Minister did this}}.
 * {{spoiler|Killed Mid-Sentence}} When it happens, he's right in the middle of {{spoiler|trying to hug the Prime Minister to celebrate their supposed joy with the decision of Lute being the King's successor... And then the dagger is plunged into his back}}.
 * {{spoiler|Killed Off For Real}} Sad, but true. {{spoiler|The King's death in the Harem Route is permanent, because THAT is the true canon ending for the story. It allows Lute to eventually ascend the throne, but the King had been planning that for him anyway. If nothing else, it was the act that FINALLY led to the Prime Minister and Bobon's ultimate downfalls. Which were also permanent since those were part of the canon ending as well}}.
 * Like a Son to Me Hagle made no secret of it. But his admiration for Lute Hende extended well beyond simply being an exemplary knight and loyal vassal in his eyes, The King generally respected and adored him for more than his ability to work wonders through sheer happenstance. So much so that Hagel took it vary harshly when Motaire insulted Lute within earshot of him while bragging about his own accomplishments. More than anyone (save for Shamsiel), he had the most faith in his abilities as his paladin and a person. {{spoiler|So much so that after all he'd done for him and the kingdom that the King decided to make Lute his successor to the throne. Because he was such a dependable, trustworthy individual whom everyone could happily get behind; more so than even he himself. To him, Lute was everything his own son Baboon was not.}} The fact that his own daughter took to him even before and just as he made his final decision was just gravy.
 * Loaded Question Him asking Lute to {{spoiler|be his successor. Sure, it may seem like nothing to us as the audience, but the duties and responsibilities that come with being a king are quite a big deal to ask of someone. Whether in Luceria's OR the Harem Route, the magnitude of him asking that of Lute is huge}}.
 * {{spoiler|My Death Is Just the Beginning}} {{spoiler|His death}} marked the beginning of the final climax for the Visual Novel... No I'm not talking that kind, I mean story-wise.
 * Nice Guy Apart from Lute, the King is just about the nicest man in the Visual Novel and Anime.
 * Overprotective Dad {{spoiler|To Luceria, but the reason is because her mother was a nymph, which is of the demon race, and there is an extermination order/law that all demons be hunted and killed. Still, Luceria is born half-human half-nymph, but he never tells her this, and to ensure nobody discovers the truth, he keeps her exposure to others to a minimum}}.
 * Open-Minded Parent In Luceria's route, {{spoiler|he goes to visit Lute to talk to him about inheriting the throne from him, and finds out that Luceria had gone to Lute's room... on her own... alone... at night... without telling anyone else... How does he react? With laughter and joyful enthusiasm. Why? Well for one, he knows Lute is a trustworthy and good man, but another reason is because Luceria's mother was a nymph and she had done the exact same things as Luceria once she had fallen for the King}}.
 * Parental Substitute {{spoiler|In Luceria and the Harem routes, he becomes like a father to Lute}}.
 * {{spoiler|Puppet King}} Zigzagged. {{spoiler|He has the title, the authority, as well as power of his position, but at the same time, the Prime Minister claims to be the one actually ruling the kingdom by manipulating events from the shadows. How far either of them's grasps on things goes is up to speculation, because even if he uses manipulation, the Prime Minister still has to obey the King's will and word. (Even if only on the surface).}}
 * Quirky Household His family sure is. His firstborn son is a totally, spoiled rotten Psychopathic Manchild. Bobon's mother, his first wife, was royalty from Lingobard, but they divorced for unknown reasons. His daughter, Luceria is {{spoiler|half-human, half-nymph, but even she was never told that, also she has been called the Most Beautiful Woman in the World by some}}. Luceria's late mother, his 2nd wife, {{spoiler|was apparently a full-blood Nymph demon and it is said that they have bodies with qualities that make them similarly lethal like those of succubus, and yet the King didn't die from their supposedly very active sex life, which even led to them having their daughter Luceria together}}.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure His subjects utterly adore him (for the most part).
 * {{spoiler|Reluctant Ruler}} Mixed with {{spoiler|Reluctant Retiree}}. The loss of {{spoiler|his 2nd wife: Luceria's biological mother. Took a toll on him, then add on the problems with installing the knight's meritocracy system (including a rebellion headed by his former best general and knight)}}, plus the matter of {{spoiler|his daughter (being half-nymph and therefore in danger should that fact be revealed to the public), and you have a man who was seen as a great ruler that WANTS to step down, but can't}}. Why? There's the {{spoiler|Prime Minister secretly manipulating events all across the kingdom}}. Also, the lack of {{spoiler|any (worthy) heir to ascend the throne, because he already decided long ago that Bobon would NEVER be his (appointed) successor}}.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something {{spoiler|It's said that he was actively trying to make the transition from having Nobles in charge of territories, to a meritocracy with knights in place instead, although he was too quick to implement it at first. Of the 24 ruling positions in the kingdom, 12 were being held by graduates from the Knight's Academy while the other 12 were still being held by nobles. A good start, but he still wanted to eventually have all positions held by knight's academy graduates}}.
 * Sacrificial Lion {{spoiler|In the Harem Route, he was planning to make Lute his successor to the throne. He was going to announce it, and then spend the next year or so showing Lute the ins and outs of the job. After that, he was going to step down and retire, but would have stuck around to help advise Lute when he would take over... Then the Prime Minister heard about this... It pretty much serves to finally bring the Prime Minister into a more direct villainous role, and of course it ends with his downfall once all of Lute's lovers and comrades came to rescue him.}}
 * The Greatest Story Never Told Signs point to his backstory being quite interesting, but we're never told much about it. Such as: {{spoiler|How did he become king? By birth, appointment, or rising to power? What happened with his first wife, Bobon's mother? What happened with his second wife, Luceria's mother? What made HIM immune to her special condition? Why did he never withdraw the Demon Extermination Order?}}
 * Treachery Cover-Up He does it {{spoiler|twice}}. {{spoiler|The first time is his marrying of his 2nd wife who was actually a Nymph, a kind of demon, and due to an extermination order/law, could/should have (by law) been executed, but instead he keeps her identity as a nymph a secret from everyone including their own daughter Luceria who was born half-human half-nymph whom he also protected and kept in the dark regarding her half-demon heritage a secret as well}}. {{spoiler|The second time is at the end of the Boan arc when Lute had discovered, exposed, and stopped the conspiracy of Bobon and the Prefect of Boan seeking to start a revolt against the kingdom. He has Bobon deported, and tells Lute to keep quiet about this}}.
 * Unwitting Pawn Zig-zagged. According to {{spoiler|the Prime Minister, he was supposedly this to him, but at the same time, the King was still holding active authority and power over events in the kingdom, as well as his awareness of a traitor in Bustenhalter, AND he also knew that the Prime Minister was plotting against him and especially Lute to some degrees}}.
 * Villain Ball The King is the Big Good of the story, and yet he also has a few things going on that kind of make him seem villainous. See What the Hell Hero below.
 * What the Hell Hero So... It's established that the king is very smart and kind. {{spoiler|It's even revealed that he fell in love with and actually married a demon, specifically a Nymph, which he made his queen and had a daughter with}}. At the same time though, why did he keep that information {{spoiler|of his queen's (as well as daughter's) heritage a secret instead of changing or rescinding the Demon Execution Order? For that matter, why even make or have the order active in the first place? Supposedly the last sort of conflict between humans and demons occurred over 100 years earlier, and thanks to the order, demons had mostly been thought to have gone extinct by 50 years prior. Was it a case of Forgot I Could Change the Rules?}} Also, {{spoiler|he chose to not go public with the incident in Boan where his son, Bobon, tried to instigate a revolt. Sure he wanted to avoid losing credit and trust with his subjects, and to keep his enemies from using it against him, but why then didn't he have Bobon imprisoned instead of exiled to Lingobard}}?
 * Where Did We Go Wrong? With Prince Bobon. It's an absolute mystery trying to figure how someone as rotten as Prince Bobon is related to him or Princess Luceria who turned out fine.

General Felzen
General of Edelland's military. "Voiced by: Yukimitsu Koshi (JP)"


 * Achilles Heel Like a great many people of certain status, General Felzen's main character flaw is his pride. The stinging narcissistic ego of the elite initially blinded him to the underlying capability of the failing graduate whom everybody disavowed as a blemish on the academy record. Too late did he and his fellow generals realize how tactile & talented Lute really was when faced with Gladys' ploy to have them all dismissed.
 * Actually Pretty Funny Following Lute's, everyone is shocked by Lute's seemingly impossible feat. Including , whom Felzen and Lute encounter upon their return to . Lute makes a reference to a.
 * Animal Motifs It's a little hard to name something precise. Looking at his armor you see green scales, so you might say dragons, alligators, turtles, or... Probably any green reptile that can rip somebody's head off is fitting for him.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking General Felzen is the toughest general in the Edelland military
 * Badass Cape His comes complete with badass shoulder armor.
 * Bare Knuckle He's skilled in many fields including hand to hand combat, and could take pretty much anybody with or without a weapon.
 * Benevolent Boss His troops all respect him, and for good reason. That being said, if you upset him or insult him or his comrades, be prepared to face his wrath (and usually fists).
 * Big Brother Instinct He acts like this.
 * Big Damn Heroes His moment comes in.
 * Big Good.
 * Cool Old Guy.
 * Cluster F-Bomb Felzen isn't one to mix words. Even to the King, he's said to be very blatant with his opinions, but then, that's something the King actually respects him for.
 * Digging Yourself Deeper When Wone Qwanne, is accused of overstepping his authority when he.
 * Drill Sergeant Nasty He's a good commanding officer, and his troops would follow him anywhere. However, if you do something to upset him, he'll get in your face, and give you a good taste of his fist.
 * Easily Forgiven Lute puts a remarkable amount of faith and trust in him and the other generals. Something even THEY think he's a bit odd for doing..
 * Fiery Redhead Hot-blooded temper? Check. Outgoing attitude? Check. Red hair? Check.
 * Genre Savvy He knows from experience that the Prime Minister is not to be trusted,.
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars Good, obviously. He has one right across his face just below his eyes and over his nose. Helps with showing off how he's more of an aggressive, hands-on kind of military leader.
 * Gondor Calls For Aid In the Harem Route, when Lute is . At the same time though, Felzen,.
 * Heel Face Turn While not a villain, he and the other 2 generals are fairly hard on Lute in the beginning.
 * Hot-Blooded He is very passionate and forward with others. He doesn't hesitate to voice his opinion on things, and is very dangerous on a normal day, so suffice to say you don't want to piss him off.
 * Hidden Depths At a glance, you probably just see him as another Drill Sergeant Nasty type of Hot-Blooded Fiery Redhead. And you know what? You're right... Sort of..
 * If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Him Initially, he's one of the many who utterly HATES Lute,.
 * Jerkass Of the 3 generals, Felzen is the most outspoken amongst them, which gives him a bad reputation among the nobles. He was liked by the King and late Queen, but the Prime Minister hates him, and had him removed from the capital at the first chance he could. . That said,.
 * Jerkass Realization Takes a lot of time and endless infuriation on his part when Lute finds new and amazing ways of pissing Felzen and his fellow general off. But he soon comes to realize two things. A) Lute's not the hairbrained undesirable who flunked out of knight school he and countless other jerks labeled him as, (going so far as to deduce the fact that Prince Butthead actually did worse than him. Only getting out of dead last by someone rigging the grade system in his favor), and B) Motaire wasn't the elite paragon of the illustrious academy of future knights that he'd mistaken him for. That Skill without any real character may as well be the definition of disposable.
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold He's tough, he's loud, and he's very forward with everyone about his views this made it to where most of the noble class hate him, but his troops respect and trust him dearly..
 * Killed Mid-Sentence.
 * Like a Badass Out of Hell His men respect him, his enemies crap their pants and RUN FOR THE HILLS! Both are for good reasons: He's an excellent, though forthright and blunt, general. His combat and tactical prowess were only ever 2nd to the.
 * Like a Broken Record.
 * Living Lie Detector In regards to knowing the true character of Bobon and the Prime Minister. Plus after learning of the true persona Lute Hende truly has, Felzen knew full well that the very idea of the former killing the king was a boldfaced lie. Deducing that it was most likely some cockedup scheme perpetrated by the Prime Minister who'd been vying for Baboon to inherit the throne since the Knight Academy.
 * Meaningful Name His name means "Reliable" and "Enthusiasm". Guess what? He's a trustworthy and efficient general and a very forward person who would never back down from a fight.
 * Mighty Glacier He's one hell of tough knight, but he's still a bit up in years, so he's not as fast as Gladys or the other knights. That said, if he catches you, he can and WILL kick your ass!
 * The Neidermeyer Coming off as a boisterous, loudmouthed, insubordinate and foul tempered braggart who constantly listed the MC's numerous shortcomings while acting like he's without fault. He and the other two old bastards conspired against their former student turned commanding officer at the behaste of their Treacherous Advisor; Glaum Zoin. Thankfully he grew out of this near the middle to end of the story.
 * No-Holds-Barred Beatdown He delivers several to when he acts disrespectful toward Lute.
 * Old Soldier He is this, but is the youngest of the 3 generals..
 * Parental Substitute.
 * Quick Draw Decision.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something He's brash, outspoken, and courageous. He garners great respect from his troops, and is never one to stay behind when there's a battle.
 * Sand in My Eyes.
 * Took a Level In Badass.
 * Took a Level In Kindness At the start of the story, he's easily one of the biggest or rather loudest characters to openly bash Lute for his low graduating scores from the Royal Knight's Academy..
 * Unlikely Hero He and many others thought that Lute was just the lowest scum of the Royal Knights, so it came to a complete shock later on when he manages to pull off some extremely difficult feats..
 * Victory Gloating.
 * Work Hard, Play Hard Felzen is a very aggressive man. He's forthright, stubborn, and has a temper. If he is your friend and you piss him off, he won't mix words and call you out. If you piss him off further, he's likely to kick your ass or kill you. If you're his enemy and you piss him off, you best start running! However, when he is happy or celebrating, he doesn't hold back much there either}}.

General Zant
General of Edelland. . "Voiced by: Ranmaru (JP)"


 * Achilles Heel As with Felzen before him, Zant's lack of character perception tends to blind him from the greater qualities within people who're not of his elite ideal. As with a great many before him, Lute Hende was little more than an oversight he'd berate and ignore over someone whose more flash than actual substance like Motaire at first. Even despite the sound logic of the perceived failure's reasons for keeping him and his coworkers over the aide who isn't a fighter, it still takes some sound convincing from the younger of the three to pierce his egocentric judgements.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking Not as strong as Felzen, but he too Furthermore, when discussing the matter of who should be the next Commander of the Guards, Lute said that
 * Badass Cape His is white with gold trim.
 * Big Good: Not as prominently as Felzen, but he eventually becomes a supporter of Lute as well, even personally intervening when Motaire tries to attack him at a formal ball.
 * Digging Yourself Deeper When One Coin, is accused of overstepping his authority when he.
 * Genre Savvy He warns Lute about getting involved with women at the celebratory party in his honor. It is implied that he had been taken advantage of a woman before, so he spoke from experience.
 * Gold Digger.
 * Gondor Calls For Aid In the Harem Route, when Lute is . At the same time though, Zant, !
 * Heel Face Turn He isn't evil, but he and the other generals were very mean to Lute at the beginning of the story.
 * Ignored Epiphany When his fellow general points out how abstaining from dismissing them after the treacherous Guam Loin revealed their act of insubordination to their commanding officer was foolish. Zant is initially adamant in holding to that claim even when Both his junior and senior come to grips with the wisdom in his action, acknowledging that their whistle blower wasn't at all fighter and therefore unsuitable to defend the castle. He eventually grows out of his stuffed shirt opinion.
 * Jerkass He and the other 2 generals were pretty harsh on Lute at the start of the story..
 * Jerkass Has a Point.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold He cares very much for the well being of the kingdom, but treats Lute like utter crap.
 * The Neidermeyer Along with Felzen and Schlamm; Only a bit more biting and narcissistic in regards to the vaunted Knight Academy he/they teach at and towards it's (supposed) greatest failure. So much so that he ended up blurting out his guilt in they're hiring of assassins against Lute Hende.
 * Old Soldier Of the 3 generals, he is implied to be the middle one in terms of age..
 * Parental Substitute.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: He's not as physical as Felzen, but when Motaire tries to attack Lute a formal ball, he's immediately on it and has Motaire thrown out.
 * Tender Tears Both he and Schlamm cried at Lute's wedding/coronation as king to his newfound queen in Luceria.

General Schlamm
A general of Edellbard, and was a graduate from the very first class at the Royal Knight's Academy. . "Voiced by: Dobu Rokuro (JP)"


 * Achilles Heel Like his fellow generals Felzen and Zant, Schlamm's oversized oversight of personal ability clouds his judgement of people. Made especially worse given how particularly old school this guy is. Like most everyone in story, possibly more so given his stone age high standards, he boasts the most backbitten condescending worldview on personal worth. Especially in regards to the hero of the story. Despite this during the Gladys Arc. Schlamm, unlike Zant, has enough sense to admit when he and others were wrong about character depth as his junior points out before the fateful duel.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking Schlamm may be old, but he's still a tough commander..
 * Badass Cape Wears a white cape with a golden trim.
 * Big Good: Becomes one as part of a Big Damn Heroes moment towards the end of the Harem Route.
 * Genre Savvy In a world of demons, magic, political strife, and rebellions, one would need to be this to have lasted as long as he has.
 * Gondor Calls For Aid In the Harem Route, when Lute is . At the same time though, Schlamm, !
 * Grumpy Old Man He wasn't fond of Lute to begin with. He wasn't impressed with any of that year's graduates from the Knight's Academy either..
 * Heel Face Turn He isn't evil, but he's very rude to most people apart from his fellow generals.
 * Heel Realization Again, while not evil; see above. He's a big enough man to admit when his opinions of a first impression have been entirely wrong, siding with General Felzen when the latter realizes (Finally!) that Lute wasn't the failure the academy grading system,, had labeled him as. Lamenting how the three were too late to see the truth of their commanders real capability.
 * Jerkass He is very harsh on the youngsters these days. Not even Motaire and Isis' accomplishments at the Royal Knight's Academy were enough to impress him, so that means he thought VERY little of Lute who was the bottom scoring graduate of the class..
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold He is loyal to the kingdom, but he thinks very little of the younger generations, especially Lute..
 * The Neidermeyer While not as outspoken as his fellow Generals; Schlamm possesses the most condescending of tones in regards to those they deem less than dirt.
 * Not So Stoic At the end of the game when he and his fellow generals sat and ate with King Lute in his quarters, Schlamm would talk up a storm with the lot of them about current events in Boan as well as about old times from a year ago.
 * Old Windbag He is not very impressed with youngsters these days..
 * Old Soldier He is the oldest of the 3 generals, and was a graduate from the very first class at the Royal Knight's Academy. He doesn't think highly of the latest generation of knights,.
 * Parental Substitute.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something ..
 * Tender Tears He and Zant cried at the coronation and wedding of Lute as he married princess, then crowned queen Luceria.
 * The Bus Came Back Of the 3 generals, he is the one to be around the least..

Aristera
One of Motaire's groupies. "Voiced by: Haruna Ren aka Jinbo Tomoe (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage As seen in the image.
 * Be a Whore to Get Your Man She and Droit's approaches to getting with Motaire..
 * Brutal Honesty
 * Combat Stilettos She and Droit both wear them, yet they can both run very fast even while wearing them.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass She and Droit seem like just a pair of air-headed slutty groupies at first....
 * Day in The Limelight No, neither she nor Droit get a route..
 * Gold Digger She and Aristera seem to go after and cling to whoever is the most popular, powerful, and/or wealthy in their midst. With the exception being Bobon, who had attempted to force them into it.
 * Even Evil Has Standards She may be a gold digger, but even she refuses to let Bobon..., touch her.
 * Escape Artist She and Droit seem to be able to come and go in the castle as they please, but not because they're given permission though..
 * Fragile Speedster She and Droit aren't trained in combat at all, but they can outrun Isis, even while wearing high heels.
 * Heel Face Revolving Door Played with and Inverted. Like her fellow cabaret dancer, Aristera seems to like playing musical chairs over where her loyalties lay. First it was with Motaire who was both the top graduate of his class as well as heir to the Platine estate. Then it was to Lute who started out on the bottom rung of things only to eventually rise through the ranks at rapid pace and outclass the asshat she was slutting up too in the beginning, . Only to dump the later after him being wrongfully accused of killing the king and branded a death row traitor, she and her friend Droit sheepishly apologizing to their former meal ticket. Then going back to Lute again after the later is rescued from the conspiracy surrounding him and is eventually crowned King of Edelland.
 * Power Is Sexy She and Droit fawn over whoever is the biggest deal around them. At first, it's.
 * Stripperific Her outfit brings to mind belly dancers.
 * What Happened To The Mouse? She and Droit are missing from the anime adaptation, along with Motaire.
 * Your Cheating Heart She is one of the girls with.

Droit
One of Motaire's groupies. "Voiced by: Yuzuki Sachi aka Kondou Yuuki (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage As seen in the image.
 * Be a Whore to Get Your Man She and Aristera's approaches to getting with Motaire..
 * Brutal Honesty
 * Combat Stilettos She and Aristera both wear them, yet they can both run very fast even while wearing them.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass She and Aristera seem like just a pair of air-headed slutty groupies at first....

 * Escape Artist She and Aristera seem to be able to come and go in the castle as they please, but not because they're given permission though..
 * Fragile Speedster She and Droit aren't trained in combat at all, but they can outrun Isis, even while wearing high heels.
 * Heel Face Revolving Door Played with and Inverted. As with her bosom buddy Aristera, Droit tends to hopscotch with whomever has the greatest sociological pull at the time. Her main subject at first was Motaire; all around unlikable popular guy with major amounts of karmic kickability abound. That is, of coarse, until Lute came along. Same guy whom she and her slut friend didn't even bother to remember on their first meeting, that is until he began to outshine his senior with his many impressive deeds. And again like her compatriot, end up leaving the fallen hero when she and her both; like every other idiot in the kingdom, bought into that BS line where the local hero killed the king. Kissing up to Motaire after they come crawling back to him, only to return to our heroes good graces after his dramatic rescue and whirlwind coronation as the New King.
 * Power Is Sexy She and Aristera fawn over whoever is the biggest deal around them. At first, it's.
 * Stripperiffic Her outfit is similar to what you'd expect an exotic dancer to wear, although not as much as Aristera's.
 * What Happened To The Mouse? She and Aristera are missing from the anime adaptation, along with Motaire.
 * Your Cheating Heart.

Motaire De Platine
Top of graduate of the Royal Knight academy class that Lute was in. "Voiced by: Aiko Takeda (JP)"


 * Abusive Spouse Though they're engaged, he is straight up abusive towards Isis, and all she has ever done is her absolute damnedest to try and make things WORK between them. In Isis' route he mocks her for being scared to go on a mission where literally ALL previous parties to venture out on said mission were never heard from again. She starts to tear up from this, and he mocks her further. She even seems as though she wanted to spend her "last night together" with him before going out on the mission (which one could possibly interpret as her even being willing to have sex with him) but he turns her down and tells her it being their last night makes no difference to him. He tells her that if she dies on the mission then that was all she was worth, and then he declares his intention to break off their engagement regardless of her survival or not... Right before the icing on the misery cake: His groupies show up and he ditches Isis to go with them (which includes cheating on her).
 * By the end of her route, he doesn't tone it down either in that . Oh, and on top of all of THAT abuse, he even gets physically abusive towards her.
 * As far as he's concerned, . He's just following orders. He's just too blinded by his own pride and ego  to realize his actions  aren't as good as he thinks..
 * Asshole Victim See Jerkass below and then it's doubtful he'll get any sympathy from you when he you hear he....
 * Bare Your Midriff: A Rare Male Example. His armor stops at his chest, exposing his midriff.
 * Bastard Boyfriend Or rather, fiance. To Isis. He treats her horribly, despite all her efforts to try and get things to work.
 * Beauty Equals Goodness Inverted. See Jerkass.
 * Berserk Button Lute's existence annoys him. Lute being a part of his class in the Knight's Academy irritates him..
 * The Bully He's one toward Lute (both during and following their time at the Royal Knight's Academy together). He's also a jerk to his fiance, Isis. In all honesty he's not even all that beloved by other soldiers in the platoon either. Even the generals and King Hagel wonder what was so elite about him given his jerkass performances.
 * Casanova Wannabe He thinks his status, reputation, and family are his keys to pursuing just about any woman he wants..
 * Covert Pervert.
 * Compensating for Something Unlike Lute, Motaire loves pointing out his accomplishments and who he is to other people, his family is responsible for inventing the bra in their world, so he's extremely wealthy....
 * Complaining About People You Don't Like You could make a drinking game out of how many times he whines about Lute. You'd also make a mint from pennies and dimes accumulated hearing how many people can't stand his ass.
 * Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like See Don't You Dare Pity Me! below. Also, in regards to.
 * Dark Is Not Evil His attire makes him look like trouble, but the issue is actually zigzagged depending on the route. . Suffice to say, it took a while to get there.
 * Almost..
 * Don't You Dare Pity Me! He isn't fond of Lute on a normal day, but when bad things happen to him, BECAUSE of Lute (he blames Lute, but it's more because of his own ego).
 * Drowning My Sorrows Following, there is a banquet held that night to celebrate. While attending, Motaire is furious at the mere idea of.
 * Entitled Bastard His ego leads him to believe he is far superior than most, especially in the case of Lute..
 * Entitled to Have You.
 * Expy He is pretty much Gaston with him being an arrogant Jerk Jock with his air-headed groupies almost constantly around, as well as his major entitlement complex..
 * Favouritism Flip Flop, everyone thought he was the very best of the best. What with him graduating top of his class at the Royal Knight's Academy, and him being the heir to the richest family in the kingdom if not among the richest in the world at the time (since they invented the bra). However, in at least 3 routes, this changes to varied extents. . In . Then, lastly is the . From then on,.
 * Foil To Lute, which is pretty obvious from the start.
 * Good Adultery, Bad Adultery.
 * It's buried... deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, DEEP, beneath his . But he actually, it just takes a LOT for it to finally surface. A combination of.
 * Gullible Lemming Technically speaking, he IS trying to protect the kingdom... In his own overly-prideful, arrogant, dumbass ways. However, that doesn't stop him from following almost anything that comes from the Prime Minister as legitimate orders or truth. Such as, . Perhaps his crowning moment of gullibility comes when.
 * Handsome Lech Cheats on his fiance, Isis, pretty much to her face.
 * Historical In-Joke His family is said to have been responsible for inventing the bra in their universe. Suffice to say his family is among the richest in the world during the story.
 * Humiliation Conga Mostly his own fault thanks to his ego.
 * It's complicated. VERY complicated....
 * It's All About Me he sponges off his reputation from graduating top of his class at the Knight's Academy, as well as the fact that his family invented the bra.
 * Jerkass He has an enormous ego. He had graduated at the top of his class at the Knight Academy, which he loves to tell people. . This all on top of how lowly he sees and treats Lute, and.
 * Kick the Dog The way he treats Isis is appalling. He cheats on her (practically TO HER FACE). He ignores her, yells at her, mocks her, berates her, basically spits on every attempt she makes to try and make things work between them, and says things to her at one point that almost drive her to commit suicide (more than once). But perhaps one of the most twisted examples comes at the end of Isis' route when he.
 * Miles Gloriosus Played with and inverted. He's a world class Jerkass who won't come off about how his father invented the bra and his family is loaded. Or that he was the top graduate at the Knight Academy going on about over and over and over near every time he makes an entrance. But despite this he actually has the skills to back up his modesty, being the best chess player in the kingdom just under Gladys Vom Wakenheim. As well as a skilled swordsmen in his own right.
 * Mistreated Bride.
 * In the Harem route,.
 * Gondor Calls For Aid In the Harem Route, when Lute is . Throughout this, Motaire actually !
 * No-Holds-Barred Beatdown He ends up on the receiving end of one of these several times due to his pride and mistreatment of Lute.
 * Oblivious to Hints It takes quite a bit to get through his ego to help him see his erred ways. That's why it wasn't really the hints that got through, but all the ass-kickings he brought upon himself that did it instead.
 * Pet The Dog Now don't misunderstand, he treats Isis like utter garbage almost all the time, despite her best efforts to make a relationship work between them. . Unfortunately though,.
 * Really Gets Around During the beginning, yes.
 * Reason You Suck Speech He ends up on both ends of them. He constantly deals them out to Lute. You could make a drinking game of how many times he brings up Lute graduating last in their class, how he himself was the top of the class, and how he is SO much better than him in every way. Then, in the  he ends up on the receiving end of several:.
 * Royal Blood Not royal per say, but his family invented the bra, and given how big a deal that is, it's safe to say his family will never have to worry about money. It is also his status as a Royal Knight that gives his family prestige.
 * Sexual Extortion Who is using who, when it comes to Aristera and Droit being with him?.
 * Sexual Karma He cheats on Isis all the time, but it comes back on him wheeeeeen... Even more karmic, is.
 * Small Name, Big Ego His family invented the bra, and he was the top graduate from his class at the Knight's Academy. His ego however, is so inflated that it's almost like he thinks he invented the bra and opened the royal Knight's Academy himself.
 * Spoiled Brat His family invented the bra, and thus are likely among the richest people in the world at that time, so it isn't much of a surprise that he became this.
 * Teeny Weenie.
 * The Friend Nobody Likes: The treatment he gets compared to lute later in the game, and somewhat in the beginning too. He's such an insufferable blunderbuss with his boasting of perfection and family name that many soldiers, townsfolk and even some of the top brass cannot stand the guy.
 * Took A Level In Badass He starts out as the top graduate of the Royal Knight's Academy, but.
 * Took a Level In Kindness,.
 * Unfit for Greatness Thanks to his shortsightedness, huge over-inflated ego and utter disrespect/disregard toward others. Lots of people feel like he's not fit to be leader of an army, let alone a ruler..
 * Unlikely Hero He may have graduated first from his class of Royal Knights, but people began catching onto his issues especially with his attitude. By the end of the, it seemed more like he was just going to spend all his time feeling sorry for himself rather than actually contribute anything to the story's end,.
 * Unwitting Pawn To the Prime Minister.
 * Villain Ball !
 * What Happened To The Mouse? Motaire isn't present in the Anime adaptation..
 * Your Cheating Heart Zigzagged. MANY times..
 * In Isis' route,.
 * Alternately, in the Harem Route,.
 * Your Approval Fills Me with Shame For all the crap he says about Lute and for all the utter contempt he has for him,.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair Or in his case, very-light-almost-greyish-blue hair.
 * Alternately, in the Harem Route,.
 * Your Approval Fills Me with Shame For all the crap he says about Lute and for all the utter contempt he has for him,.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair Or in his case, very-light-almost-greyish-blue hair.

Devils
Remnants of the Hallowed Demon's living within the Girupon Woods of Edelland.


 * Eloquent in His Native Tongue The Devil tribe speak in a forign demon tongue that only others of their race can properly comprehend. Even half-demons like Lute.
 * Guardian Entity These guys serve as the last line of defense against would be usurpers and tyrannical types seeking to steal the hallowed power from the Demon King's Temple. But they cannot venture anywhere near there on their own to prevent it's theft.
 * Dark Is Good Though feared and reviled by a great many individuals of Edeland with their high religiofascist xenobia. The Devils within the enchanted forest are honestly a lot more likable and empathetic than most every human in story who Lute meets, of coarse that's assuming you have demon lineage within you or are of the devil's kin yourself.
 * Exactly What It Says on the Tin None among the demon's living within the woods have individual names.
 * Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" Be they coming to the player in singles or clans, he/she or they simply refers to them as Demons.
 * Fluffy the Terrible Judging by their appearance, you'd think they'd be less imposing than they are. But looks can be deceiving.
 * Good All Along While deeply despised by the majority of humans in the kingdom of Edeland, it turns out the Devil Tribe exists solely to protect and defend the throne of the Demon King from would be trespassers seeking to usurp absolute ultimate power from it's keep. It is they're sacred duty to hold out until their former king's successor comes to reclaim his birthright.
 * Hidden Depths When most people see these guys, they liken them to monsters due to their appearance and based on speculation born of rumor. In truth however they view a great many humans with the same sentiment, based on their self-hating ways..
 * Hidden Elf Village played with, since their kind were slated for extermination by greedy and callous humans within Edeland. The Demon tribe have sequestered themselves within a heavily enchanted forest which leads into the domain of the demon world.
 * Horny Devils it's in the name, they are devils after all.
 * Humans Are Cthulhu Interestingly enough, the devil's perceive humanity in the same breadth as humans perceive them to be monsters. So much so that they likened the worst example of their kind; Prince Bobon to a satanic archetype of some kind. Fearing for themselves and the world if a whoreson like him obtained the power acquitted by sitting upon the Demon King's Throne.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold While they have no qualms about killing and eating humans when the need arises. Said devils who inhabit the woods are actually kind, courteous and loyal to each other and to the scion of their fallen lord king. Plus, to be fair, humans hunted their kind down and nearly murdered them all out of bigotry and racist fear. Not to mention said jerkass species keeps sending soldiers into their territory without consent, basically on what levels out to a practical suicide mission on a regular basis. So not like the grunts and their moronic bosses didn't ask for it.
 * Rocket Jump Isis once mistook their vast leaps for flying, but given the way they soar through the air every time they vanish into the treetops, you never know.
 * Flight Subverted, as they are said to indeed possess the ability to flight by the story's protagonist.
 * The Unintelligible Everything they say is incomprehensible to the person listening. Even the dialogue that comes up in the word box on scree is just a bunch of PS controller button symbols. Lute Hende, due to his decadency of the Hallow Power, can miraculously understand as well as hold commerce with them.
 * Undying Loyalty The demon race of the Girupon Woods are all loyal servants to the Hallowed Demon clan lead by the late demon king, Lute Hende's father.
 * You Gotta Have Pink Hair or at least pink and purple with these guys.

Prince Bobon von Diamante
Firstborn son of King Hagel I. Graduated from the Royal Knight's Academy along with Lute, Motaire, and Isis. "Voiced by: Masato Sakurai (JP)"


 * How he views himself, regardless of the route he thinks he can and should do whatever he wants..
 * What he finds out he actually is....
 * Animal Motifs.
 * Asshole Victim Given how he treats and sees other people, along with his arrogant personality, and rude disposition, NOBODY sympathizes with him regardless of the bad things that befall him.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking He thinks that having a position grants him unlimited power to do whatever  he wants, and he thinks that because he was born a prince, that makes him entitled TO said power.
 * Asskicking Equals Authority He is as tough, brave, and as strong as a.
 * Authority in Name Only
 * Bad Boss NOBODY can stand working for this abusive idiot.
 * Batman Gambit Falls for at least 2 over the course of the story..
 * Body Horror He's a fat, pompous, idiot to begin with, but some of the things that happen to him are pretty gruesome: In . Lastly,.
 * Card-Carrying Villain This fatass can't be reasoned with to try and change his self-centered and greedy ways.
 * Casanova Wannabe He thinks his status, reputation, and family are his keys to not just pursuing, but actually taking anything he wants and (disturbingly) any woman he wants all for himself..
 * Catch Phrase His way of laughing makes him seem like a cow. "Moohoo~"
 * Complete Monster Figuratively AND literally, depending on the route.
 * Death by Sex.
 * Dirty Coward This fat pig thinks himself the greatest person ever born. He's cocky, greedy, and abusive to everything and everyone around him. He's a big talker when he has power, but falls apart easily when threatened..
 * Drunk with Power It takes no genius to see just what kind of man, what kind of leader Prince Blubber'd turn out to be the very minuet he ascended the seat of power. Even the guy whom everyone wrote off as riffraff was smart enough to know that the bastard wannabe king would abuse his authority for small and stupid reasons.
 * Entitled Bastard See Entitled to Have You and Jerkass below or Complete Monster above.
 * Entitled to Have You.
 * Evil Prince Or he tries to be, he's certainly depraved but no less inept in the deed.
 * Evil Is Petty He trolls people he doesn't like, supports nobody or anything aside from him wanting to be in charge, humiliates people on a whim, and has people banished or sentenced to death if he thinks they are "cooler" than he is.
 * Fat Bastard He's even carrying a big lollipop with dozens more in a saddle bag to put an exclamation point on his gluttony!
 * Fetish Retardant Prince Bobon is the most pathetically stupid, repulsive, delusional, and conceded idiot in the whole Visual Novel (and anime). His chances at being with a woman are so bad that . Having said that,.
 * Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling He's the fool (big time), to his sister Luceria's responsible.
 * From Nobody to Nightmare He may have been born a prince, but Bobon was NEVER going to sit on the throne He is cowardly, unskilled, stupid, and spoiled rotten, so on his own he's as much of a threat as a dirty diaper..
 * Go Through Me When he tries to harm or condemn someone, others generally step in to stop him..
 * Hate Sink Out of all the douchebaggy characters in the Kyonyuuverse, Baboon is the most universally reviled character anybody could have the ultimate displeasure of ever coming to meet. He's sleazy, lazy, arrogant, selfish, idiotic, abrasive, loathsome and conniving, everyone in series hated the Fat Bastard. Even the Prime Minister cannot stand this flabby moron for his excess and entitlement, and Lute whose friendly to everyone. Especially to the kinds of people whom generally don't deserve it, finds him unsettlingly repulsive; so much so that he actually dreaded the day when Prince Butthead would become king. This coming from a guy whose a Friend to All Living Things? That really states something about a person's character.
 * High Hopes, Zero Talent He wants to be king, but has nothing that would actually make him qualified to be one apart from being the Prince by birth, which he feels is the only qualification he needs. Furthermore, . To give a better sense of how bad it was,.
 * In-Series Nickname Most people mockingly call him "Baboon", "Cow", "Porky"..
 * Inadequate Inheritor 2 times he inherits something, that wasn't meant for him.
 * In Shamsiel's route,
 * In the Harem route,.
 * Impersonation Gambit.
 * It's All About Me His sense of entitlement is boundless. He doesn't care for anything or anyone aside from himself.
 * Jerkass To the point that even most of the other villains have to grind their teeth just to put up with him..
 * Karmic Death Happens 3 times in the story, and each is more karmic than the last...
 * In route, we never see it, but Lute and Isis.
 * In route,.
 * In the route,.
 * Lack of Empathy Never shows an ounce of humanity to anyone.
 * Large Ham In the worst ways. Humorously though, the other characters tend to call him names like baboon, cow, or pig.
 * Loser Son of Loser Dad played with and subverted. Prince Buttbrain's father was a magnanimous leader who practically radiated charisma and heart, while he on the other hand was a self-absorbed, unimportant Upperclass Twit whom the king, in his infinite wisdom. Saw as glaringly unsuitable for the throne or the reigns of any kind of real power. That said, his father wasn't perfect either, while Hagel the I was in no way stupid he wasn't very keen on reading the atmosphere either. Which is what led to the problematic civil strife and conspiracy issues in his country to begin with, as well as his untimely demise at the hand of a less than untrustworthy royal advisor.
 * Man Child One look at his picture and he'll never be anything other than this in your eyes.
 * Mean Boss.
 * Never My Fault Invoked, when he and the ruling power of Boan were exposed in their duplicity and betrayal. He immediately tries to assert his innocence despite evidence to the contrary.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain In Shamsiel's route, he . If you think about it, Bobon also inadvertently helped in other parts of the story as well....
 * No One Else Is That Dumb By all accounts, his grades were the absolute bottom at the Royal Knight's Academy, but they were secretly altered thanks to (hinted at) the Prime Minister. It shows. He knows nothing about diplomacy, military strategy, domestic affairs, or survival training whatsoever. All he wants is to be king. Nothing else matters to him, and that's exactly why he's deemed unfit for it by literally ANYONE that actually knows him.
 * No One Could Survive That.
 * Not Good with Rejection How does he respond to King Hagel's barring him as a successor? He plots rebellion with the Prefect of Boan under support of the Prime Minister.
 * Obviously Evil One look at his image and you knew. For anyone his age (at least 18+) to be walking around like that he must have a few screws loose, which is exactly right since he's a Psychopathic Manchild.
 * Out with a Bang.
 * In Shamsiel's route, he takes on the form of a . On the funny side.
 * Pride Before a Fall From the very first time he shows up in the story, and all the way to the very end, NOBODY likes this guy. In or out of story.
 * Prince Charmless To the point he even resembles the Trope Namer.
 * Psychopathic Manchild See his image. He's every bit as vain, pompous, and rotten to the core as he looks. If not moreso..
 * Quit Your Whining He's a huge Manchild, and acts like a spoiled baby, much to others' annoyance when he whines over not getting his way.
 * Quirky Household His father's a human king, his mother was a human woman from Lingobard, his half-sister Luceria is actually, and his stepmother.
 * Reason You Suck Speech He tries to delve these out. His claim being that since he's a prince he is superior to everyone and is therefore above laws and is entitled to saying or doing whatever he wants. In actuality,
 * Royal Bastard Of the whiny, bratty, dopey, undesirable variety. Born of two royalties yet found less than worthy to take up kingship, seeking to further incite riot and rebellion simply because daddy wouldn't name him successor only hammered the point home. Finally the vitiation's made when the shrieking bastard finally got his bottle put emphasis on his inevitably running the kingdom into the ground. Bobon's claims to royal prerogative, ineptitude while in leadership and all around doucheholiness, all it did was prove what an Inadequate Inheritor Prince Butthead well and truly was right up to the end of his pathetically short lived reign.
 * Royal Blood Loved, hated or not. Prince Buttelf's heritage was still that of the highest royal lineage of two kingdoms, as we find out in the Gaiden Game.
 * Royal Brat This. In. Spades. Sum bitch was born into royalty, therefore felt he was owed to anything and everything because of it. From the very air you breath to the very ground you walked on, every large breasted woman within his wouldbe kingdom and most likely to the very thoughts he would allow you to think. It was any wonder why he was passed over as King Hagel's; his father, successor to the throne of Edelland.
 * Spanner in the Works Ironically, he becomes this to the other villains' plans, partially due to his stupidity, and because he's so arrogant he frustrates any attempt to have him follow an Evil Plan, something that drives to annoyance.
 * Screw the Rules, I Make Them He is ALL for people obeying every order, command, decision, law that HE comes up with... No matter how unreasonable or stupid, but he has zero regard for actually following any rules himself. He feels that if one makes the rules, one is above them and therefore NOT bound by them.
 * Sexual Extortion In the worst of ways, this idiot blatantly wants to.
 * Scapegoat Creator tries to reassign blame on Lute and the late Prefect's attendant, Madoise. Making up the bupkis plea that he was framed..
 * Self-Deprecation: Prone to do that when Lute call him something, but tries to quickly correct himself when he realizes he had insulted himself.
 * Sexual Karma His is very bad. Suffice to say... he has it coming when.
 * Sissy Villain This lard-ball is a total coward, completely unskilled (at anything), and SO spoiled, that the only way this fool is even close to a threat is . Otherwise?.
 * Small Name, Big Ego Oh, Like you wouldn't believe. Just because he's the son of the King; being crowned prince by birth. Bobon thinks he's entitled to anything and everything in his fathers kingdom, including the throne and/or any woman he lays eyes upon. There was some small movement behind the scenes working to put him on as king, but given what a huge prick he is these supporters are largely unpopular in garnering follow through with their endeavours.
 * Spoiled Brat Loves to act snooty and self-important, given most anything he ever wanted growing up, granted excuses by people of power for allowances, gaining a selfish and ugly mindset as a result. In short, Bobon is a rotten, conceited, fugly, useless, dumbass who makes you wonder how a guy like Hagel could produce such a lemming as this. He even makes Motaire seem like a nice guy by a huge comparison.
 * Speak Ill of the Dead His own words for his Late Father; The Good King. Shows just how much of an ungrateful and undeserving Spoiled Brat he was when he finally got his crown.
 * Teeny Weenie In route, he seizes.
 * At first, some think his reason for . As it turns out though,
 * Too Dumb To Live By all accounts, it was actually Bobon, who should have graduated dead-last in their class from the Knight's Academy, but someone had altered his grades and set Lute as the bottom instead of him. Good news for everyone is that this makes him very predictable and easy to manipulate..
 * Token Motivational Nemesis, of all people is the one who feels he is this. The logic is that maybe by seeing how vile and repulsive someone like Bobon is, perhaps the rest of humanity would become inspired to be better than the sort of person he is.
 * Treacherous Advisor In the, when
 * Treachery Cover-Up When he had tried to
 * Troll This fat pig LOVES having power over others. He enjoys taunting and humiliating anyone and everyone he wants, and usually his reason for it is simply on a whim. ..
 * Tyrant Takes the Helm Prince lard-ass was a stuck up, self-entitled bunghole with delusions of authority long before he was properly crowned in ceremony. The second he got his hands on real power for a change, Baboon made it abundantly clear that everyone present and within the kingdom regardless would do as he said. If that's not an indicator to his motives then...
 * Unfit for Greatness Definitely. Nobody likes him, and pretty much anybody with a functioning brain can see how ill suited he is to being king or hold any sort of actual power..
 * Used to Be a Sweet Kid according to his cousin and fellow idiot noble; Argent De Bonn in the Gaiden series. Prince Baboon didn't turn rotten until his ambition for the throne got the better of him. Considering what an asshole he was in story, it's impossible to believe admittedly.
 * Unpopular Popular Character against all conceivable and inconceivable odds in story. There are some who're petitioning for him to become king despite how unworthy a candidate he is.
 * Villain With Good Publicity I know what you're thinking, and while we can all agree mostly with how it sounds, but the answer is sort of complicated... First off,.
 * What an Idiot! He spends majority of his screentime being a complete bastard to literally EVERYONE, and expects that people would just let him get away with whatever he wanted without ever finally being pushed too far. It all comes back to bite him spectacularly:
 * Where Did We Go Wrong? King Hagel is a good man and a caring father. It's said that his former queen was a noble and loving wife and mother. Princess Luceria turned out fine. What the hell happened with Bobon?
 * Worthy Opponent Inverted. Take the stupidest, weakest, and most cowardly character in this series and they'd likely either be Bobon himself OR they would be someone who could beat Bobon with only one hand. Literally, nobody likes him (as a person), and anyone who actually knows him, knows that he is not the least bit fit to rule anything or anyone, much less the entire kingdom.
 * The Wrongful Heir to the Throne: In theory he is gonna be king in the future, but his selfishness and dumbness clearly makes him inadequate for that.

Prefect Irboyne
The Prefect of Boan. He was a graduate of the Knight's Academy, and he was ranked dead-last in his class. "Voiced by: Dobu Rokuro (JP)"


 * Asshole Victim.
 * Bad Boss He utterly HATES his job, since he is essentially the laughing-stock of the political community of his country. He therefore, hoards all the best of anything he can get ahold of in Boan for himself..
 * Big Bad Of the Boan arc.
 * Chessmaster He tries to be.
 * Divorce Requires Death When he found out Roxanne's family had almost no actual assets (politically or in terms of wealth), he tried to divorce her legally, but she refused. So, he took to isolating her as much as possible: forcing her to sleep on the opposite end of the castle from him, never consummating the marriage, and plotting against her with Madiose. The idea was to.
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him In both the anime and visual novel, he has a heart condition,.
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good He can't understand Roxanne's desire to be a devoted wife, even if he treats her like crap.
 * Fallen Hero Using the word "hero" quite loosely here..
 * Government Conspiracy.
 * If I Can't Have You Inverted..
 * Jerk with a Heart of Jerk He hates his job, he hates where he is, he hates his wife, he hates his citizens, he hates the people who sent him where he is, and he makes little effort to hide it..
 * Karmic Death
 * Knight in Sour Armor You'd never know he was a knight by looking at him. He had actually been a graduate of the Royal Knight's Academy that was assigned to be the Prefect of Boan. He's very unhappy with it.
 * Kavorka Man: Somehow in spite of his arse ugly disposition. The Prefect managed to land the pretty beyond words Roxanne for his wife, even managing to cheat on her with younger girls out in town without impunity given his looks.
 * Lolicon: Among the reasons he never consummated his marriage to Roxanne.
 * No Last Name Given We never know his last name. Or if Irboyne is even his last or first name. We also don't know if "De Desir" is his last name or Roxanne's maiden name. Nothing about it is clarified.
 * Obviously Evil His appearance and attitude certainly don't radiate kindness or generosity..
 * Perpetual Frowner While his assistant almost always smiles, he is almost always frowning.
 * Reassigned to Antarctica In Edelland politics, to be sent to Boan is widely seen as a punishment since it's such a backwater dirt-poor job. The Prefect feels like the laughingstock of the political community, and tries desperately to get back to the capital.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: He tries to revolt with Prince Bobon.
 * Sacrificial Lion He tries to make Lute this twice..
 * Spanner in the Works His first plan was to.
 * Teeny Weenie One look at his wife, and you'll think he's insane to treat her as poorly as he does.
 * Terrorist Without a Cause His whole reason for ? It wasn't because . It wasn't because he . It wasn't because he . It was simply that.
 * Unfit for Greatness He was a graduate from the Royal Knight Academy . However, instead of trying to make the most of it and working to improve the situation for those around him as well as himself, he took to.
 * Uriah Gambit It's a strange one to be honest (especially the visual novel version):.
 * Villain by Default: He is an aristocratic jerk.
 * What Happened To The Mouse?.
 * What an Idiot! Look at Roxanne. Then look at him. Back at his wife. Back at him...
 * Xanatos Backfire He had tried to pull 2 Xanatos Gambits on Lute and both get turned around on him. Then, when Lute

Madoise
The assistant to the Prefect of Boan and steward to Castle Boan. "Voiced by: Kojiro (JP)"


 * Asshole Victim.
 * Animal Motif Rodents.
 * Blatant Lies "Monster? What monster? There's no monster? The townspeople are just superstitious!" He says referring to the succubus that the citizens of Boan were begging him to deal with... As they surrounded him and Lute as they toured the town.
 * Cheshire Cat Grin His is quite creepy, and he's almost perpetually sporting it.
 * The Dragon To the Prefect of Boan.
 * Didn't See That Coming In all fairness, he never considered Lute himself being a cambion when he suggested the prospect of scapegoating the guy to the Prefect. Needless to say, they were both unpleasantly surprised that not only was their plan a failure. But were freaked out when he had Shamseil reveal herself to them.
 * Dragon with an Agenda.
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him For his crimes in the anime, he gets In the Visual Novel, he.
 * Evil Is Petty His reasons for helping the Prefect of Boan trying to ? He wants
 * Get a Hold of Yourself, Man! While the Prefect was.
 * Hate Sink Unlike Irboyne who had a semi-plausible reason for being a bitter, unfaithful, misogynistic dirtbag. Madoise was a slimy, conniving, boot licking and all around utterly, thoroughly disloyal and unlikable Jerkass. Naturally, no one barely cared to shed a tear for the guy when he's executed for treason, much less remember he even existed.
 * How Did You Get It? Neither he nor the Prefect had ever expected in a million years that Lute would exorcise, much less win over Shamsiel..
 * Idiot Ball For a man who comes up with a bunch of schemes and plans for himself and the Prefect of Boan, Madoise can be really REALLY gullible and stupid at times. For instance:
 * Impersonation Gambit He falls for them !.
 * Just Another Fool.
 * Man Behind the Man Some hints point to him being this to the Prefect of Boan, in that, he suggested that.
 * Professional Butt-Kisser If it isn't the Prefect's butt it's whoever else has as much or more power and wealth around him.
 * Perpetual Smiler He almost always has that creepy smile on his face, so it always seems like he is up to something,.
 * Quirky but Competent He's a sniveling, scheming, butt-kisser, but he's probably better at his job than the Prefect is at his..
 * Royally Screwed-Up.
 * Schemer.
 * Slime Ball Many if not all the Prefects iniquitous schemes come from this rat bastard, sure. But one of his worst, most irresponsible acts was throwing an inexperienced, unprepared and under-qualified knight at a succubus, knowing full well he was way outclassed to boot. Why? Just so he and Prefect jerkface could have a fall guy his subjects could string up instead of them, as to cover for both their incompetence and flagrant disregard for the masses under they're care.
 * The Stool Pigeon Madoise sings like a cockatrice the minuet he's revealed as co-conspirator against the crown.
 * Tampering with Food and Drink.
 * Many if not ALL the plots involving him and the Prefect turn out to have been
 * Unwitting Instigator of Doom.
 * Unwitting Pawn.
 * What Happened To The Mouse.

Wan Coan
The Steward in Bustenhelter. He'd immigrated from an unnamed Oriental nation in the east. . "Voiced by: Ichiro Kataoka (JP)"


 * Asshole Victim He may not be as actively evil as the other villains of the story, but he's also pretty hard to feel sorry for when things go wrong for him. In fact, most of the time people are too busy laughing at his running gag to take him seriously.
 * Butt Monkey His name gets mispronounced by everyone, and nobody cares when he tries to correct them.
 * Chance Encounter It's thanks to Lute meeting Gladys by coincidence, and then.
 * Dirty Coward He has no chance in actual combat with anyone..
 * Do with Him as You Will.
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him In the Visual Novel, . In the Anime Adaptaion.
 * Even Bigger Bad At first, people thought that was the traitor that the King had warned Lute about, but.
 * Feed the Mole Literally. Lute turns this on him, because
 * Graceful Loser Inverted. When his plans fail, he tries everything to cover them up..
 * Hilarious in Hindsight People constantly mispronounce his name. It isn't until he that someone finally gets it right. There's also how he.
 * Idiot Ball See Hilarious in Hindsight above.
 * Jerk Ass We never really learn much about him in terms of his own backstory and personality, but at the very least we know he was.
 * Kick the Dog In the anime adaptation, he gets busted for setting up a duel with Gladys without any authorization for doing so. He then tries to poison Lute in retaliation, but Shamsiel stops that, and he ends up getting hung the next morning. In the visual novel, he gets busted same as before, except this time he.
 * Let's You and Him Fight.
 * Mood Whiplash In the anime adaptation's 2nd episode, Lute had just, and Shamsiel appears, cracking up at the hilarity of the situation for Lute. Cut away to . Cut back to Lute, who is . It makes for a cute little touching moment... Only to be tossed out the window seconds later when it cuts to a shot of.
 * Mook Lieutenant.
 * Nice Hat He wears a pretty fancy eastern-looking hat. Sort of makes one wonder if he's Compensating for Something.
 * Oh Crap He has at least 3, but one was a 2-parter. First was . Then came the next incident when !
 * Quit Your Whining When people mispronounce his name, he always says something, and they always tell him to get over it.
 * Scapegoat Creator From a certain point of view, see Victim Blaming below. One could say Uam Yoen's suggesting the three generals using assassins in order to asses/remove their current superior. Was a means for him to divert blame from his poor strategy endangering the war effort when he spilled the beans about their scheme, . Thankfully that plan failed, as Lute wasn't the idiot everyone took him to be.
 * Running Gag People can't seem to get Whan Cwaine's name right... SEE!
 * Spell My Name with an "S" Whan Maun HATES how people can't seem to pronounce his name right.
 * Tampering with Food and Drink In both the anime and visual novel, he does this. In the anime, . In the visual novel,.
 * The Mole In both the anime and visual novel, he is taking orders from to sabotage the efforts of the King's forces to suppress the rebels of Inland led by  in Vunderbalt. However, it goes a bit deeper than that since he wasn't so much being ordered to bring the rebels victory, but instead that he was to.
 * The Unpronounceable It takes him for someone to pronounce his name right for once.
 * Uriah Gambit Under orders from
 * Victim Blaming He tried to cover up all his actions as a mole,.

Prime Minister Rubin Von Bernstein
The Prime Minister of Edelland. "Voiced by: Ken Munakata (JP)"


 * Big Bad Is this overall in the Visual Novel and anime...
 * Abomination Accusation Attack He invokes this on Lute. Technically speaking, it happens in every route. He sees Lute as scum that needs to die, but particular mention goes to what happens in
 * Asshole Victim.
 * Card-Carrying Villain He's evil. Practically everyone can tell just by standing in his presence.
 * Chessmaster He manipulates people from the shadows to control the kingdom. The furthest extent of his control is unclear, but he IS confirmed to have been tied to:.
 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder SO much so... There's also, Prince Bobon... No surprise..
 * Conviction by Contradiction
 * Devil in Plain Sight He looks about as harmless as Disney's Jafar. Pretty much everyone knows he has his own agenda, but he sets himself up so that few are able to do anything. . It's a little different in the anime adaptation though, because in that one he seemingly puts on a facade of pretending to be nice as he tended to speak in a cheerful and somewhat goofy manner.
 * Dirty Old Man.
 * Dirty Coward.
 * Establishing Character Moment: The moment he sees our hero, he summons guards to throw him out of the palace, showing how much of a jerk he is.
 * Even Evil Has Standards Keep in mind: this guy is a manipulative, cruel, and evil bastard as well as THE Big Bad of the story overall.
 * Evil Prime Minister By the time you've reached this guy's entry it's no secret.
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good He doesn't see the good in others. Apart from things they have that he deems useful to him, such as wealth, position, or influence. Anything or anyone else that he can't exert his control over is useless in his eyes.
 * Genre Savvy
 * Hidden Agenda Villain The Prime Minister is always scheming some half baked measures to undermine those he looks down upon and secure more power/influence for himself. The focus of these harebrained centers around his trying to undermine Lute Hende whom he see's as garbage and a threat to his conspiracies on top of conspiracies.
 * It's All About Me Puts himself and his own plans ahead of the well being of others. So much so that he's willing to leave the country in a constant state of turmoil just to profit off of the strife he's had a hand in setting in motion to begin with in order to further his selfish goals. Thankfully most of his plans relapse on the old bastard for the betterment of everyone else.
 * Parental Neglect/Abusive Dad Spent years trotting his only daughter Emeralia around like an object instead of a person, We know how well that worked in the end.
 * Underestimating Badassery Repeatedly saw Lute or others of his ilk as scum, rocks, filth and always finding some way to undermine those who're not on his side. Bites him pretty hard in the Harem Route.
 * Hoist By His Own Petard Big time...Many times... To dig a bit more into his downfall, it wasn't JUST  that he was mean to to where it would come back to bite him. There was also....
 * Idiot Ball For all his well thought out plots and conniving, the Prime Minister or his lackey's are either too boastful or too prone to giving away subtle hints to his involvement in high treason. Or the assistant Buan Qoen at Bustenhalter, who let slip he was taking orders from someone up on high to lead both sides to eventual degradation.  More over, wanting a complete monkey's arse like Prince Baboon to ascend the monarchy in the first place? That's living proof of the Prime Ministers more than questionable intelligence. Anyone with half a brain knew straight away that that big fat spoiled loser was no more suitable for the throne than a pet'd make for a personal advisor; stemming but not limited to Lute, Isis, Motaire, Felzin, Emeralia (probably), Bobon's sister Luceria and even Baboon's father; King Hagel I. Who specifically stated to the hero of the story that his deplorable son would never, EVER succeed him as king. Everybody was aware of this, just as they were well aware of the reasons why he was so undeserving of the title. Why or how didn't Bernstein?
 * Jerk With the Heart of A Jerk Even being in the same room is enough to make people feel uneasy around him, AND FOR GOOD REASON! (See just about any of the other trope entries about him.)
 * Like a Broken Record You wouldn't believe the number of times you'd hear this guy boast about his dominion over the kingdom or denounce anyone he assumes to have no real worth or talent he couldn't exploit. . Rubin always rues the day Lute ever came back into his midst after accomplishing one astounding feat after another, regularly calling him scum or a rock compared the diamonds his pawns are. He'd often rant to himself about being the secret power behind the kingdom, braying on how everything was in the palm of his hand and that no one would take it from him.
 * Loyal to the Position.
 * Malicious Slander Oh he's very, very guilty of this. Admonishing Gladys as a traitor to the crown while he purposefully had the rebellion conflict prolonged for his own profit, framing Lute for the death of King Hagel after doing the dirty deed of killing the king himself when all his other asinine schemes to derail the hero of Edelland failed, making up a BS fabrication covering up Prince Baboons plotting against the crown by starting a rebellion with his fellow school dropouts. All in a days work for this miserable git, guy contemplates high treason while coming up with a host of underhanded means of smearing anybody he hates five time before brunch at least.
 * No Kill Like Overkill.
 * Obviously Evil Definitely. His attire, his voice, his face, his attitude, his manners, how he carries himself, how he sees and addresses others, how others talk about him... The only way it could be more obvious were if he had the words tattooed across his face!
 * Happens at the end of the Harem route, compliments of.
 * Redemption Rejection When all his evil deeds FINALLY come back to bite him, . Let's be honest here. We all pretty much know he would have said anything to survive, but meant none of it.
 * Reliably Unreliable Weapon By all accounts, this guy had all the right weapons: An anti-demonic sword and a, but he had neither the training in swordsmanship nor the to make them any more than totally useless to him. His all-star jerkiness really shows in how he chose to deal with Lute, only for most of it to backfire horrendously.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something He feels that his actions are what keeps the kingdom alive.
 * Schizo-Tech: In possession of some that is in far advance of any other technology in the setting, a . Considering the highest level of technology in the setting is sixteenth century cannons, this is him having the equivalent of an AK-47 when all he should have is a smoothbore musket.
 * Small Name, Big Ego of a kind and ultimately inverted. He's the Prime Minister of the kingdom and all around scheming dirtbag working around the current head of state, loves to play up his personal import about how politics and standard goings on within the nation are run. Even though he's as much the heart of the problem as was the kings rushed revolution. Rubin himself was but a master manipulator backed only by his conniving and duplicity, constantly needing the help of others in order to have any real impact both in the political and real world stages. True he was surprisingly well equipped with a slew of magic relics and protective seals, beyond that however he was mostly kind of useless on his own.
 * Small Role, Big Impact by no means was the PM's role in the story small. He was the Evil Chancellor who secretly schemed around and profited off all the strife within Edelland from behind the scenes for his own gain, even working through the rebellion to depose King Hagel in order to put Prince Butterball on the throne when Knight School graduation fell through the racket. And yet when all was said and done. After turning everyone against him, backing the wrong horse for successor-ship, inflaming the ire of those whom he'd regularly denounce and despised? At the end of the day he was really just a vile, feeble, worthless, egocentric, scum suck who turned out to be a bigger loser than Bobon or really anyone else whom he deemed scum and riffraff. What goods a manipulator without any useful pawns to manipulate? Only good thing he did was pave the way for Lute to become king in the very least.
 * Sinister Minister Well, he IS the prime minister, and the big bad of the story.
 * Straw Hypocrite oh, well and truly beyond the norm with this Jerkass. Regularly denounces and insults everyone who's either worthless in his eyes or a threat to his power in spite of being scheming piece of crap whose pretty much useless on his own? Check. Always boasting of a greatness by working his tools and pawns around to further the kingdoms stagnation for his own personal benefit, while claiming that everything said conniving bastard had done was for the sake of which? Check. Tends to assign fault on people he deems enemies of the state, attempting to demonize them when just about every crappy thing happening in the nation as a whole can be traced back to him? Need we say more?
 * Tampering with Food and Drink.
 * The Man Behind the Curtain He was secretly manipulating events in the kingdom for a very long time.
 * The Man Behind The Man As said above, he's been manipulating events throughout the kingdom for years. Pretty much every other villain in the story was being influenced by him in some way:
 * Prince Bobon did the worst in pretty much all the classes at the Royal Knight's Academy, but Lute's scores were lower. Why? . When that fails:.
 * Prefect Irboyne was the least powerful, poorest, and least regarded prefect of all the territories in the kingdom, but the Prime Minister had been.
 * Madoise? He may or may not have been directly following orders from the Prime Minister, but he.
 * Wan Kwang was the Prime Minister's mole in.
 * Assassins ABCDE were sought out and hired by.
 * Uriah Gambit It's pretty much this guy's go-to strategy to getting rid of people aside from just them or having . He does it to Lute several times: In the beginning, Lute was sent to Boan pretty much as a form of banishment, and one may wonder if the reason Lute was sent there was specifically BECAUSE  Then, in Isis and Shamsiel's route he sends Lute  Finally, in Luceria's and the  He pulls yet another one after that:
 * Villain Ball Everyone knew full well how much of a complete and utterly undeserving jackass Prince Blubber well and truly was, both in hindsight and foresight. Yet this long whiskered idiot constantly fudged test scores in his favor and even went so far as to cover up his treason so he could place him on the throne as a Puppet King. Most people with a brain are well aware that buttheaded scum bag is, was and ever would be a bad fit for leadership, why didn't this guy?
 * What Happened To The Mouse? In Luceria's route,.
 * What an Idiot! For someone who prepares for so much in advance, he makes some surprisingly stupid mistakes.
 * You Have Outlived Your Usefulness ..

Assassins ABCDE
The Assassins hired in Vunderbalt. (A, B, and C then later D and E) "(D) Voiced by: Masato Sakurai (JP)"


 * Asshole Victim.
 * Nope. We don't actually see their faces or anything under the cloaks and helmets. However,.
 * Butt Monkey They fail to kill Lute 3 separate times, and it keeps getting funnier each time.
 * Bump Into Confrontation.
 * Conflicting Loyalties Who exactly DO they work for?
 * Cyclops: The headwear they all have makes them look like humanoid Doms.
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him.
 * Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" Their names are listed as literally: Assassin A, Assassin B, Assassin C, Assassin D, and Assassin E. Even when talking among themselves.
 * Forgotten First Meeting I bet you, like many, probably forgot that the actual first time Lute met one of these guys was
 * Go for the Eye In the anime adaptation, one of them tried to kill Gladys in her sleep, but she was actually awake and turned around and stabbed him in the throat upward. She told him he could either die quietly or tell her who sent him. His response?.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight.
 * Inexplicably Identical Individuals We never actually see their faces, but they all have the exact same outfits, body types, height, and weights. Even though some are never seen interacting with each other. Are they related? Are they a team? We never know. The only thing that lets us distinguish them are the letters on their shoulder pads.
 * Just As Planned They certainly try..
 * Karmic Death
 * In the anime, things go a bit different for the Assassins:
 * Leave Him to Me.
 * Murder Is the Best Solution D and E were only hired . What's their response?
 * No Big Deal Whenever they get defeated (by Lute), he plays it off as this, usually claiming that he had little to do with their defeats or saying that he didn't mean for it to happen..
 * Out with a Bang.
 * Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner.
 * Quit Your Whining.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning Sort of... IS that their eye(s)? Does this mean they're all cyclopes? We never see their faces so there's no telling.
 * Running Gag Their incompetence at assassination.
 * Sacrificial Lamb
 * Too Dumb To Live They fail their missions in the most spectacularly comedic and stupid ways.
 * The Faceless We never see their faces... or skin... or anything really. The anime shows a bit more of them, but at the same time, they are still unidentifiable. In fact, the anime adaptation doesn't show the letters on their shoulders so there is no telling which is which during their appearances.
 * The Killer Becomes the Killed
 * What an Idiot! They pretty much all have their moments..
 * What Happened To The Mouse?
 * You Taste Delicious.


 * Back to
