----
* [[Badass]]
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: To {{spoiler|Klein}}.
* [[Big Fucking Sword]]: Starts with an Iron Blade and shows it in his artwork. While any character skilled enough with swords can use the "blade" weapons, Dieck is the only character (except maybe Perceval) able to use them ''effectively'' due to his high Constitution score.

----
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: With Klein, of course.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: To her brother Klein, whom she calls "the most beautiful in the army". So much that he actually calls her out on it in their B support, since she yelled at another healer for healing him and made her cry.
* [[Hidden Depths]] - [[Jerkass Woobie]]: {{spoiler|In her and Klein's A support, Clarine expresses fears that when she goes home, she'll just end up as "a doll who won't see the outer world".

* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Half Bern, half Sacaean. {{spoiler|His Bernese looks get him spared from the Bulgar Massacre, as the armies mistake him for a Bern citizen.}}
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Nabarl]]; particularly notable in that he's the first ever playable outright Myrmidon,<ref>While the class did technically exist in the Jugdral games as the Swordfighter class, it was a functional blend of Myrmidon and Mercenary, with both Hero and Swordmaster possible promoted classes</ref> the class effectively spawned by Nabarl's unusual-for-a-Mercenary build.
* [[Fragile Speedster]] --> [[Glass Cannon]]: As with all Myrmidons and Swordmasters, though his hard mode bonuses and low standards of his game mean he's actually pretty middle of the road in durability. 
* {{spoiler|[[Sole Survivor]] (From Bulgar.)}}

{{quote|'''Class:''' Paladin}}

The Captain of the Illian Mercenary Knights, who was hired by Hector and Juno's husband.
----
* {{spoiler|[[Awesome Moment of Crowning]]: His long ending says he became the first King of Ilia.)}}
* [[Crutch Character]]: Notable for being ''worse'' than Marcus, the game's Jagen and coming about when Marcus stops being useful as a combat unit. Paladin is a strong enough class, especially on its utility merits, he'll remain usable however.
