Line 279:
=== Marscal Godwin ===
* [[Bald of Evil]]: Only a mustache on his head.
* [[A Nazi by Any Other Name]]: Strong central government, kill the 'sub-humans' (in this case no-humans) and strong military, yep.▼
* [[Big Bad]]: He's the ruthless head of the House of Godwin.
* [[Bling of War]]: His outfit is particularly fancy.
* [[Blue Blood]]: One of two long-running noble factions.
* [[Evil Plan]]: Bump off the royal family (except for the young heir) and take over the country so they can take over other countries. The point being strengthen Falena.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Xenophobic and disrespectful of the 'lesser demi-human races'.
* [[The Mourning After]]: His wife was assassinated by Nether Gate.
▲* [[A Nazi by Any Other Name]]: Strong central government, kill the 'sub-humans' (in this case no-humans) and strong military, yep.
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]: Before dying, he draws out the power of the Sun Rune, so that the Prince can prove himself capable of withtstanding its temptations}}.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|With the help of his scheming son Gizel, he orchestrates a coup in Sol-Falena to take control of the throne, believing that the only way to have successful country is to have unrivaled military strength, rigid order, and centralized government.}}
=== Gizel Godwin ===
* [[Affably Evil]]: He's never less than unfailingly polite.
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Had one to Sialeeds when he was a kid.▼
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Has some with Sialeeds, though it comes off more as mutual bemused [[Foe Yay]].
* [[Bishounen]]
* [[Blue Blood]]: The only child of Marscal and Rosalind, nobles with an ancient lineage.
* [[The Charmer]]: As a political player in a [[Deadly Decadent Court]], any good player would need to be, but Gizel is exceptionally talented.
* [[Duel Boss]]
* [[Enigmatic Minion]]: He doesn't share his father's extremist views, but still supports him for his own reasons, {{spoiler|helping him to organise a coup in Sol-Falena on the night of his engagement banquet to Princess Lymsleia.}}
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: {{spoiler|It's implied in the manga that part of his motivation for plotting against the queendom is because the princesses' vow to never marry destroyed his engagement to Sialeeds.}}
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: What he's become, according to Sialeeds, his ex-fiancé.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: There are many who think Gizel is a handsome man. Even Sialeeds.
▲* [[Perfectly Arranged Marriage]]: Had one to Sialeeds when he was a kid. It's implied he viewed it as this.
* {{spoiler|[[Suicide by Cop]]: It's implied that he kept Lym in the palace so the Prince would fight to the death}}.
* [[Villainous Valor]]: Only at the end of the Game. {{spoiler|When the Loyalist army storms the palace, he waits with Lymsleia in the throne room. At first it seems like he's holding her hostage, but Lym calls his bluff. He then revels that he simply wanted to talk with the Prince. After a conversation about the well meaning intentions that lead to the war in the first place, then challenges the Prince to a one-on-one duel. The Prince is by that point a seasoned warrior; Gizel knew that, and was quite aware that he would (most likely) not survive.}}
* [[Xanatos Roulette]]: His favorite type of plan. [[Lampshaded]] by Marscal and Sialeeds, who point out that his Stormfist plan only succeeded through blind luck - {{spoiler|the plan being to conive and cheat his way to victory in the Sacred Games, and thereby winning Princess Lymsleia's hand in marriage and ultimately securing power for the Godwin Faction.}}
Line 311 ⟶ 310:
=== Dolph ===
* [[Creepy Monotone]]: It's not known whether it's because of his training, the drugs he takes, or both, but Dolph never raises his voice or tone.
* [[The Dragon]]: Enforces Gizel's will efficiently.
* [[Duel Boss]]: The last duel of the game.
* [[Emotionless Girl|Emotionless
* [[Forgotten Childhood Friend]]: To Lyon
* {{spoiler|[[Go Out with a Smile]]: Although it's doubtful, it means the same thing as a normal smile}}.
* [[Implacable Man]]: Every time he is defeated, he gets right back up.
* [[Monochromatic Eyes]]: He almost lacks an iris.
*
=== Childerich ===
* [[Axe Crazy]]: Brutal and enjoys slaughter.
* [[Blood Knight]]: When hurt or dueling, he laughs most of the time.
* [[Confusion Fu]]: He fights in an odd, unpredictable manner, using fluid movements to fox his opponent in a very similar manner to Voldo of [[Soul Series|Soul Calibur]] fame.
* [[Duel Boss]]
Line 340 ⟶ 339:
* [[Anti-Villain]]
* [[The Rival]]: To Boz Wilde. The pair are known respectively as "Dilber of the West" and "Boz of the East".

* {{spoiler|[[You Shall Not Pass]]}}
=== Bahram Luger ===
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Doing his duty, and no more.
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: {{spoiler|After having his loyalty questioned by Childerich, he makes a suicide run against the Dahak.}}
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]]: He loyally serves the Godwin Faction, as he thinks they will bring prosperity to Falena. He's ready to fight against anyone who oppose them, even his old mentor Raja. But it doesn't bring him any pleasure.
* {{spoiler|[[Villainous Valor]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[You Shall Not Pass]]}}
Line 355 ⟶ 354:
=== Salum Barows ===
* [[Blue Blood]]: The Barows are one of two high ranking noble families.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: A medieval variation.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: He's almost ''spherical''.
*
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Not So Different]]: Whereas the Godwins push forward more offensive policies, he supports more peaceful actions. Despite these, few actually ''trust'' his welcoming smile, as in many ways he's [[Not So Different]] than his rival faction...
* {{spoiler|[[Not So Harmless]]}}
*
* [[Smug Snake]]: Salum fancies himself as a great manipulator, but only a few people can't see through his facade, and he never really ends up succeeding.
=== Euram Barows ===
*
* [[Blue Blood]]
*
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Although ''he'' thinks he's terribly brave, of course.
* [[The Dulcinea Effect]]: As seen when he encounters Princess Lymsleia.
* [[Expy]]: Like Snowe Vingerhut of ''[[Suikoden IV]]'', Euram is an [[Upper Class Twit]] {{spoiler|who panicked when placed in a position he wasn't fit for, triggering a tragedy}}.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: For the Princess
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Lacking in the sympathy, since he's against you, but he's so laughably bad.
** [[Stalking Is Love]]: ....Although her obvious rebuttal lands on deaf ears.▼
* [[Large Ham]]: Like his father.
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Demotion]]}}: {{spoiler|Despite being fought in a boss battle, he cannot be used outside of war battles.}}
* [[Rich Idiot With No Day Job]]: Given that he was supposed to head the Barows faction.
* [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]]: {{spoiler|He is the owner of the Book of Condemnation, which features in an abstruse [[Sidequest]] that must be completed to recruit Alhazred.}}
*
* [[Upper Class Twit]]: He's part of the aristocratic Barows family, and is a buffoonish fop in character.
▲* {{spoiler|[[Unexpected Successor]]: His brother Hiram was being groomed as his father's successor... until he got assassinated.}}
=== Luserina Barows ===
Line 394 ⟶ 393:
* [[Hair Decorations]]: She sports an alice band.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: She sports a veritable ''river'' of long, wavy honey blonde hair.
* [[Proper Lady]]
* [[Purity Personified]]: Looks the part and mostly acts the part, but she abandoned her family rather easily.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Whereas she is demure, polite and kind, her brother Euram is foppish, spoilt and cowardly.
Line 403 ⟶ 402:
* [[Bag of Sharing]]: His speciality - he looks after the HQ warehouse, where all items and equipment can be dropped off, stored and retrieved when necessary.
* {{spoiler|[[Duel Boss]]: Fights a duel in Barows Manor just before the Prince gets the Dawn Rune}}.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: He's not much of a thinker.
* [[The Giant]]: He's ''huge''.▼
* [[Gentle Giant]]: {{spoiler|The only time he fights is when he's been misled into believing that the prince is trying to steal Luserina's wedding present. Afterwards, he swears he never wants to get into a fight again.}}
▲* [[The Giant]]: He's ''huge''.
* [[I Owe You My Life]]: Luserina fed him when he was starving to death.
* [[Man Child]]
Line 414 ⟶ 413:
=== Boz Wilde ===
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Cutscenes of Boz in war show him with an axe.
* [[Anime Hair]]: He sports a huge mohican fin of hair.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: "Sometimes justice is three feet of steel in your hands." That's his personality.
* [[Colonel Badass]]: Boz never shows a rank, but he is the traditional star of war leaders, and he's often spoken to in matters of war.
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]:''Salum'' is one of his best friends.
* [[Informed Ability]]: He's apparently a good fighter. Since he's unable to be used outside of war battles, he never gets a chance to prove it.
