  • The Hero
    • Magnetic Hero: By necessity, with 107 potential recruits on offer.
  • A Taste of Power: Inverted: He wears the outfit of the Razril Knights at the beginning of the game, including their single-sword style. When he ditches the uniform for plot reasons and takes up his second sword, his attack power effectively doubles.
  • Blessed with Suck: The Rune of Punishment. Not only does it have the normal baggage of one of the True Runes, it actively drains the life of its bearer whenever they use it. Unless it successfully transitions to the Forgiveness phase.
  • The Chosen One
  • Conveniently an Orphan
  • Dual-Wielding: His Weapon of Choice is a pair of swords.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: Good thing you're big on the whole 'hard work' ethic, Lazlo. Your life depends on it.

  • Heroic Mime: Interestingly, though, the player can select one of two voice sets for him, or go completely without one.
  • Moses in the Bulrushes: He was washed up on Razril's shore as an orphaned toddler. The Vingerhut family took him in as an adopted servant and playmate for their son, Snowe.
    • Happily Adopted: The pair enrolled in the Gaien Marine Knights Academy together, where his dedication to hard work caught the eye of Commander Glen.
  • Power Strain Blackout: He faints after each use of the Rune of Punishment, due to it draining its host's lifeforce with each use... until it finally kills them. This can be averted by successfully recruiting all 108 Stars of Destiny.
  • The Scapegoat: Gets framed for Glen's death.
  • Secret Legacy: He's actually the lost Prince of Obel, who was lost to sea at the same time the Queen of Obel sacrificed herself. Ironically, the King of Obel later considers naming Lazlo as his successor, despite not realizing his true identity.

Glen resents this arrangement, but can't bring himself to act against Vincent's wishes.
  • Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Uses the Rune of Punishment to wipe out most of the forces attacking Razril, trading his life for that power.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Despite not feeling Snowe was ready to graduate, let alone act as a leader, Glen complied with Vincent's wishes and kept putting Snowe in positions above what he was ready for. When Snowe screws up, he then slaps him around, contributing to Snowe's confusion and resentment of Lazlo...
