== Prince Bobon von Diamante ==

[[File:PrinceBobon.jpg|thumb|Pompous Spoiled Baboon!]]

Firstborn son of King Hagel I. Graduated from the Royal Knight's Academy along with Lute, Motaire, and Isis.

 

* [[Animal Motifs]]: Pigs, cows, and baboons (his crown resembles the red butt, so it might be a subtle way for the creators portraying him as a butt-head).

* [[Asshole Victim]]: In Iris' route, {{spoiler|he is killed by the Guardian Tree, which isn't even sentient to know of his villainous nature}}. In the Harem route {{spoiler|when he tries to play on the sympathies of General Felzen, the latter remembers all the times he was a pain to deal with. From early childhood to undeserved successorship as King of Edelland; promptly telling him to go to hell before unceremoniously cutting him down}}.

* [[Authority in Name Only]]: He thinks he should be the next king simply because he is son of the present King. He's too stupid to actually know how to rule a country. All he cares about is ordering people around however he wants.

* [[Bad Boss]]: He is very abusive towards his subordinates, which only work for him out of loyalty to his father or to gain some interest from

* [[Body Horror]]: He's a fat, pompous, idiot to begin with, but some of the things that happen to him are pretty gruesome: {{spoiler|In Isis' route, he gets caught and raped to death by the Guardian Tree. [[Discretion Shot|We don't see anything before, during, or after.]]}} In {{spoiler|Shamsiel's Route, he is transformed into a nude pig-like devil after stealing god-like power from the Demon Temple. He then makes the mistake of harming Shamsiel, which causes Lute to unleash his true power on him and in a single move, Bobon is obliterated into dust}}. Lastly, {{spoiler|in the Harem Route, he and the Prime Minister's crimes are exposed, and after a brief chase, Felzen then proceeds to carve Bobon like a pig. [[Discretion Shot]] thankfully comes into play and we don't see him split in half}}.

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: This fatass can't be reasoned with to try and change his self-centered and greedy ways. Thankfully though, he's stupid enough to be easily manipulated if you play to his ego.

* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: He may have been born a prince, but Bobon was NEVER going to sit on the throne so long as his father had anything to say about it. He is cowardly, unskilled, stupid, and spoiled rotten, so on his own he's as much of a threat as a dirty diaper. {{spoiler|However, in Shamsiel's route he manages (by some miracle) to travel through the demon forest and reach the temple unscathed (hints point to the Prime Minister telling him the way to do it), and in the temple he seizes god-like powers to become a devil that was capable of conquering the entire world. Lute managed to stop him, but still... In the Harem route, after his father is murdered, he is crowned the new king, and starts making life for all around him pretty much living hell with his cruel and uncaring abuse of power. Again though, he's stopped and Lute becomes the new, true king}}.

* [[Go Through Me]]: When he tries to harm or condemn someone, others generally step in to stop him. {{spoiler|In Shamsiel's route, he tried to kill her AND Lute, but Shamsiel tried to fight him alone at first, but when she was defeated, Lute stepped up and protected her. In the Harem Route, Emeralia gets caught attempting to free Lute from his cell, but Lute steps before him and convinces Bobon to execute the 2 of them together the next day in front of an audience. This actually allows Lutes' allies to initiate their plan to rescue him from his false execution. At which point, Shamsiel, then Gladys, then Isis and Felzen, then Emeralia, and Motaire (in the Prime Minister's case) all manage to protect Lute from Bobon and the Prime Minister}}.

* [[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.

* [[Horny Devil]]: {{spoiler|His devil form in Shamsiel's route is covered with eyes and horns, and his goal for using the power is to take all women in the world as his sex slaves. Fortunately, see [[Teeny Weenie]] for what you DON'T see in his demonic form}}.

** In {{spoiler|Shamsiel's}} route, {{spoiler|he actually reaches the farthest demon temple in the forest and uses it to seize god-like demonic power, which he reveals was his true reason to go into the forest to begin with. Why? He was going to become a tyrannical devil that would conquer the entire world with "Hallowed Demon" powers (as well as make all women his sex slaves). He uses said powers to almost kill Shamsiel, and this leads to Lute fully awakening his own natural-born Hallowed Demon powers which he then uses to obliterate Bobon in one shot}}.

** In the {{spoiler|Harem}} route, {{spoiler|he becomes the king, and immediately abuses his powers on those around him: Humiliating and then relegating Motaire, firing and relegating General Felzen, making unreasonable demands of the Prime Minister, and trying to arrange to force Gladys to have sex with him. Where does this get him? The Prime Minister began planning to kill Bobon too and put Motaire on the throne in his place. Felzen helps with a plot to smuggle Gladys into the capital to save Lute, and eventually, they corner Bobon and Felzen promptly sends him to hell}}.

* [[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 [[Narcissist|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 [[Horrible Judge of Character|on reading the atmosphere]] either. Which is what led to the [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|problematic civil strife and conspiracy issues]] in his country to begin with, as well as {{spoiler|his untimely demise at the hand of a [[Devil In Plain Sight|less than untrustworthy royal advisor]].}}

* [[Treacherous Advisor]]: In the {{spoiler|Harem Route}}, when {{spoiler|he becomes king, it doesn't take long to see why he shouldn't have been made king to begin with. The Prime Minister actually struggles to keep his outrageous and harsh abuse of power in check. To the point that Bobon had barely been king for a day and the Prime Minister was already planning to have him killed off and replaced soon.}}

* [[Treachery Cover-Up]]: When he had tried to spark a rebellion against his father, the king, in Boan with the Prefect, he is exposed and caught by Lute. There's a trial in the capital, but much of the information of the event is kept secret from the public by the king's orders so as to prevent people from wanting to rebel or go against or think less of the monarchy. In the end, Bobon is banished to Lingobard to live with his mother, the King's ex-1st wife. Lute was told to keep the matter a secret by the king, and the general public was led to believe that Bobon was merely visiting his mother, not being punished for something.

* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: According to his cousin and fellow [[Upperclass Twit|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 [[Arbitrary Scepticism|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. {{spoiler|The minuet news gets out of his death after Lute is crowned Monarch of Edelland, the ruler of the neighboring kingdom of Lingobard declares open war on Lute's nation in retaliation.}}

** {{spoiler|Another stupid move he makes in the Harem Route is that when he and the Prime Minister caught Emeralia trying to free Lute, they don't execute them right then and there. Sure it works out for the good guys in the end, but think about it. All Lute did was play to Bobon's ego a tiny bit and the moron fell for it with ease}}.

** {{spoiler|One last thing he did in the Harem Route, was his mistreatment of Motaire who had initially been more than happy to see Lute imprisoned and out of the spotlight, but Bobon thought it'd be fun to mock Motaire, force him to bow at his feet to humiliate him, and even trying to force himself on Motaire's groupies. It doesn't necessarily come back on Bobon himself, but it was partially why Motaire had a [[Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal]] against both Bobon AND the Prime Minister who Motaire even helped stop and execute in the end}}.

* [[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? Even Luceria (his sister) recognizes that her half brother is a selfish, greedy idiot who isn't fit to lead the kingdom.

 

== Prefect Irboyne ==

[[File:BoanPrefect.jpg|thumb|A lolicon in a game about large breasts.]]

The Prefect of Boan. He was a graduate of the Knight's Academy, and he was ranked dead-last in his class just like Lute.

 

* [[Asshole Victim]]: He had sought his wife's hand with great determination, but upon marrying her and learning of how little she had to offer in wealth or politics, he tries to divorce her, but is unable to do so. He begins isolating her and avoiding her, and even cheats on her with younger women. He also shows little regard for his subjects or anyone other than himself. So nobody really cares when you hear about him [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|dying of a heart condition]] after trying to disgrace his wife.

* [[Big Bad]]: Of the Boan arc.

* [[Chessmaster]]: He tries to be. He was trying to use Roxanne to regain some political credibility and wealth, but her family had little to offer. He tried to divorce her, but she refused, so he tried to manipulate her into cheating on him with Lute so that he could discredit and divorce her while keeping all the power he could steal from her, which would then be put toward revolting against the kingdom and siding with Prince Bobon. It fails, spectacularly.

* [[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.

* [[Uriah Gambit]]: It's a strange one to be honest (especially the visual novel version): The idea was to have Lute exorcise the Succubus that had been causing trouble in the Boan region up till then. However, the Prefect knew full well that there was no chance that anyone who was sent to Boan would be sufficiently trained in anything, much less exorcism specifically, so him ordering Lute to try was basically a death sentence. At the same time, the Prefect was also considering using Lute for his plans to set up Roxanne for committing adultery and then he'd divorce her, but again he was expecting Lute to fail and die, so it came as quite a shock when it backfires and Lute not only survives but befriends the Succubus.

* [[Villain by Default]]: He is an aristocratic jerk.

* [[What Happened To The Mouse?]]: {{spoiler|Following his heart attack or stroke in the Visual Novel, we never see him again, but all signs point to him having died from it. In the anime, the last we see of him, he and his assistant are thrown in prison and he is laying motionless on the floor while the assistant kneels over him}}.

 

== Madoise ==

[[File:Madoise.jpg|thumb|Man or rodent? Probably both.]]

The assistant to the Prefect of Boan and steward to Castle Boan.

 

* [[Animal Motif]]: Rodents. Rats, chipmunks, mouse.

* [[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.

* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: {{spoiler|They ''tried'' to make Lute and Roxanne this, and even considered using Motaire, but it all amounted to nothing but them getting busted for conspiring against the crown, and Lute achieving all that ''they'' could have hoped for or wanted: promotions, rise in ranks, and kingly status}}.

* [[What Happened To The Mouse]]: {{spoiler|Following the trial for assisting the Prefect of Boan and Bobon's conspiracy to revolt, we never see nor hear from him again. He was executed (according to Lute, the punishment for treason is death, which may not have been done to Bobon initially due to the cover-up by the King. Madiose had no such protection). In the anime, he was imprisoned with the Prefect and never seen again}}.

 

== Wan Coan ==

[[File:OneCoine.jpg|thumb|[[Running Gag|One Coine?]]]]

The Steward in Bustenhelter. He'd immigrated from an unnamed Oriental nation in the east.

 

* [[Butt Monkey]]: His name gets mispronounced by everyone, and nobody cares when he tries to correct them.

* {{spoiler|[[Disney Death]]}}: {{spoiler|In the anime, he winds up being hung, although it's only seen as a silhouette. In the visual novel, he commits suicide}}.

* {{spoiler|[[You Said You Would Let Them Go]]}}: {{spoiler|Lute had promised to not execute Gladys nor do anything to her subordinates. However, that night, [[Running Gag|Juan Kuran]] waited until everyone was asleep or passed out drunk and snuck to the dungeon with the intention of slitting Gladys' throat before she could expose his betrayal... Thankfully for her, Lute had already released her from her cell and she went to his bedroom to sleep with him}}.

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: When he is caught in the anime, {{spoiler|the Generals have him hung, and that's all we know of his fate, beside his having been working for the Prime Minister, it never goes deeper than that}}. In the Visual Novel however, it's a bit different, {{spoiler|because when he gets caught and exposed, he lets it slip that he was taking order from someone higher up (we already know it was the Prime Minister). Upon realizing his mistake, he yells that he had been acting of his own free will, and proceeds to commit suicide before anyone can stop him. When the Prime Minister receives word of [[Running Gag|John KHAAAAAN's]] revealed treachery to the crown and death, he is furious about the incompetence of his followers. One shudders to think of the fate that would have awaited him, if his fear of the Prime Minister led him to killing himself instead}}.

 

== Prime Minister Rubin Von Bernstein ==

[[File:PrimeMinisterBernstein.jpg|thumb|[[Foreshadowing|Long... Live... the King...]]]]

The Prime Minister of Edelland.

 

* [[Big Bad]]:{{spoiler|Is this overall in the Visual Novel and anime...[[Obviously Evil|As if you didn't know by now.]]}}

* [[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 {{spoiler|Isis, Shamsiel, and the Harem Routes.}}

* [[What an Idiot!]]: For someone who prepares for so much in advance, he makes some surprisingly stupid mistakes. {{spoiler|Such as his idea to put Bobon on the throne. ''Everyone'' else with a functioning brain could see how poorly qualified Bobon is to ruling the kingdom (or anything for that matter), but the Prime Minister had been planning to put him on the throne and did so anyway. Why then was he surprised when Bobon started getting out of hand and causing people in the capital to hate him right away (which led to many of them turning for Lute at the first chance)? There was also his use of anti-demon magic: He used it on his sword, his room, and the dungeon. Now, hold that thought and then remember that he secretly had a working revolver gun in his possession, which is the most advanced weapon in the story... Except that he fires off all the rounds at Shamsiel who uses her demonic powers to let the bullets just pass through her without any effect. Why didn't he use the anti-demon magic on the gun rather than the sword since he clearly isn't actually a fighter?}}

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|His reasons for murdering the king in the Harem route, and sending Emeralia to do so in Luceria's route was because the king was on the verge of making Lute his successor to the throne, which is something the Prime Minister didn't want since he could not control Lute. In Luceria's route, the King isn't murdered and Lute is declared the king's successor and marries Luceria, but in the harem route, Bobon is crowned the new king after Hagel's murder, and the Prime Minister practically tells Motaire that he isn't able to handle Bobon's foolishness, so he was likely going to murder him too, and then place Motaire on the throne in the near future}}. {{spoiler|Another example of him doing this is with Emeralia, because in Luceria's route, he sent her to go and murder the king, and she knew perfectly well that if she did so, he would just forsake her anyway. In the Harem route though, when she has a [[High Heel Face Turn]] and tries to free Lute, he captures her and condemns her to death along with Lute}}.

 

== Assassins ABCDE ==

[[File:AssassinABCDE.jpg|thumb|We are many, but look the same. Get ready to die!]]

The Assassins hired in Vunderbalt. (A, B, and C then later D and E)

* [[All According to Plan]]: They certainly try. But when they failed to kill him in the streets, they try again after dark, but he drives them off in his sleep. Then, D and E are hired a few nights later, and they were only supposed to beat him up as a test, but when he fought back in his sleep, they try to kill him, but fail once again. Shamsiel then finishes them off, and when all is said and done, they DID serve their purpose: They showed everyone that there is more to Lute than meets the eye.

* [[Body Horror]]: Nope. We don't actually see their faces or anything under the cloaks and helmets. However, in the anime, one of them gets stabbed in the throat by Gladys and coughs up a large amount of blood before dying. Then, in the Visual Novel, during the early part of the Vunderbalt Rebellion section, D and E are hired to try and beat up Lute during the night. They fail and end up being beaten by him in his sleep. Shamsiel then [[Death by Sex|devours]] them. Their bodies are found the next morning outside Lute's window a few stories down... Shriveled dry.
