The classic [[Idiot Hero]]. He's a country boy from the boondocks town of Linea, heading off to seek fame and adventure as a soldier of Seinegald. He stows away on a ship bound for the capital, which is promptly attacked by monsters, so he grabs the first weapon he can find... Which turns out to be a Swordian, an ancient and extremely powerful sentient sword, named Dymlos, who promptly accepts Stahn as his master. And so the [[Hot-Blooded]] hick goes on to discover a huge history of cover-ups and corruption in his quest to save the world...

===Leon Magnus===

[[File:leon.jpg|frame]]


Captain of the Seinegald Knights and the youngest master swordsman the country has ever seen, Leon was originally sent to arrest Rutee, Mary, and Stahn, and ends up accompanying (read: babysitting) them to investigate problems at Straylize Temple. He's a grouchy teen with a big attitude. In the original PSX version, he stays grouchy and hates the party. In the remake, however, he starts to loosen up, and thinks of the party as close friends (though he'd never admit to it). {{spoiler|He is Hugo's son and Rutee's younger brother- Hugo was able to send Rutee to safety before succumbing to insanity, but it was too late for Leon. He keeps his son on a leash with Marian, Leon's [[Meido|personal maid]], whom he thinks of as a surrogate mother. Unfortunately, Leon doesn't get to see the end of the story...}} He also has a Swordian, Chaltier, who has been his best friend since he was little.

Tales of Destiny

Stahn Aileron

The classic Idiot Hero. He's a country boy from the boondocks town of Linea, heading off to seek fame and adventure as a soldier of Seinegald. He stows away on a ship bound for the capital, which is promptly attacked by monsters, so he grabs the first weapon he can find... Which turns out to be a Swordian, an ancient and extremely powerful sentient sword, named Dymlos, who promptly accepts Stahn as his master. And so the Hot-Blooded hick goes on to discover a huge history of cover-ups and corruption in his quest to save the world...

In the sequel, he marries Rutee, and they have a son, Kyle. After he was killed by Barbatos, Loni and Rutee made up a story of Stahn "being on a journey" because they were worried about the severely traumatized Kyle.

Rutee Katrea

A mouthy thief from Cresta, Rutee travels with her amnesiac partner Mary, stealing and doing odd jobs for cash. She joins Stahn (or rather, Stahn joins her) when he saves her from an old trap in a dungeon. She also has a Swordian, Atwight, that was given to her when she was very young. Later, it turns out that she only went on her thieving journey to help monetarily support the orphanage she was raised in, and keep it open. She's also Hugo's daughter, and Leon's older sister. She's the team healer, but is also a good physical attacker.

Between Tales of Destiny and Tales of Destiny 2, she marries Stahn, has a son with him, and takes over running the Dunamis Orphanage.

Leon Magnus

Captain of the Seinegald Knights and the youngest master swordsman the country has ever seen, Leon was originally sent to arrest Rutee, Mary, and Stahn, and ends up accompanying (read: babysitting) them to investigate problems at Straylize Temple. He's a grouchy teen with a big attitude. In the original PSX version, he stays grouchy and hates the party. In the remake, however, he starts to loosen up, and thinks of the party as close friends (though he'd never admit to it). He is Hugo's son and Rutee's younger brother- Hugo was able to send Rutee to safety before succumbing to insanity, but it was too late for Leon. He keeps his son on a leash with Marian, Leon's personal maid, whom he thinks of as a surrogate mother. Unfortunately, Leon doesn't get to see the end of the story... He also has a Swordian, Chaltier, who has been his best friend since he was little.

He makes an appearance in Tales of Destiny 2, but that's another (spoilerific) story.

Philia Felice

A priestess doing research at Straylize Temple, Philia is a soft-spoken, mild-mannered Meganekko who joins the party after they rescue her. She is very faithful and loyal, and always wants to believe the best about people. Even after witnessing her superior stealing a priceless sacred artifact, she still wholeheartedly believes that he is not evil. She decides to stay with the party upon learning that he was just a pawn in a much bigger scheme, threatening the entire world... When the party finds the Swordian Clemente, it picks her as her master, and she becomes the party's spellcasting powerhouse.

She appears occasionally in Tales of Destiny 2 as her temple's high priestess and gives the party advice here and there.

Philia: Leon Magnus, he was as cold as ice, and kept himself away from the others, but the truth is, he was kind, and had a heart that was warmer than everyone else's.

    • It should be noted that she mentions that out of all her memories of fighting alongside Stahn and co., her most painful memory is fighting against Leon.
    • In response to this, Leon, as Judas, tries to help her by saying that Leon never regretted his decision, and he doesn't want her to be saddened by it. It's also worth noting that this is the only time he ever speaks to one of his former comrades in the entire game.
    • And if it wasn't enough, it's hinted that Philia can see through Judas's Paper-Thin Disguise, something even Rutee, his own sister, couldn't do.
  • Shock and Awe: While Philia wields spells of a variety of elements, Clemente's actual element is Lightning.
    • Holy Hand Grenade: Tales Of Destiny 2 and later the first game's remake establish Lightning and Light as the same element.
  • The Smart Girl
  • Taken for Granite: Stahn mistakes Philia for piece of statuary the first time he sees her.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: Between Rutee and Philia, Philia is the girly-girl.

Woodrow/Garr Kelvin

The prince of Phandalia, who travels around to practice his archery and become familiar with the people he will one day rule. He's often accompanied by his archery teacher's granddaughter, Chelsea, who has a crush on him. He and Chelsea help Stahn get to town after the ship he stowed away on crashes, and then joins Stahn again later when the quest for the stolen Artifact of Doom takes the group to his kingdom. He is chosen as the master of the Swordian Ignetos, and decides to help out Stahn again when the world is threatened.

Woodrow/Garr appears in Tales of Destiny 2 as the king of Phandalia and assists the party at various points.

Mary Argent

An amnesiac woman traveling with Rutee. She carries around a sword that she knows is deeply connected to her past, she just can't remember how. In Phandalia, the party gets imprisoned by a man named Dahlis, who awakens Mary's memories, and she remembers that Dahlis is her husband. Her weapon of choice is an axe, though in the original she could wield swords as well.

Johnny/Karyl Sheeden

A traveling bard who ran away from his wealthy family. He's lazy, and often over-the-top.

Chelsea Torn

A young archer, the granddaughter of the greatest archer in Phandalia, and Woodrow's number-one fangirl.

Mighty Kongman/Bruiser Khang

The reigning champion of the Neuestadt Arena, he often acts like a jerk and a showoff. However, he's a good person deep down, and has a crush on Philia. He suffers the same fate as Leon- in the original game, he was an irritating and unsympathetic bonus character, but in the remake he was rewritten into a very entertaining (mandatory) addition to the party.

Lilith Aileron

Stahn's little sister. She isn't playable in the original game (except by hacking), and is an optional character in the remake. She's an assertive girl who will kick your ass with cooking utensils.

  • Action Girl
  • Ascended Extra: She wasn't intended to be playable in the original (though she could be hacked in), and was made playable in the remake.
  • Dummied Out: Only obtainable through a glitch in the original Japanese game and cheat codes in the U.S. release.
  • Eleventh-Hour Ranger: Can only be recruited in the arena in the remake, and even then not after a considerable amount of time has passed.
  • Hammerspace
  • Improbable Weapon User: She fights with frying pans, ladles, and giant fish pulled from Hammerspace.
  • Kamehamehadoken: THUNDER SWORD!!!!
  • Shout-Out: The way you recruit her in the remake (beating her in the Neuestadt Arena) is the same as how Kongman was recruited in the original- it's even parodied. You think you're about to fight Kongman... Until Lilith comes in and beats him up.

Hugo Gilchrist

Leon's father ,and also Rutee's, and the president of the Oberon Corporation. Once, he was a kind man, but after the discovery of Swordian Berselius, he was driven mad. He used the last of his sanity to drive Rutee away from home and his madness, but in process killed her mother. He then took Leon and trained him rigorously and strictly, forming him as his own puppet, using the maid Marian, whom Leon treated as a surrogate mother, as his hostage to cow Leon to his biddings. He brought back the Dycroft to the surface and planned to use it against the Earth, but Stahn and co. defeats him, bringing him back to his senses before he dies.

Tropes associated with Hugo:

Miktran/Kronos

The leader of the Heavens/Ae'therians during the War of Heaven and Earth/Ae'ther Wars and would stop at nothing at fulfilling his goal to enslave the Earth/Er'ther Lands. He is defeated by the Swordian Masters in the past, especially by Karel Berselius. However, in his last breath, he possessed Karel's Swordian (Berselius) and was put in slumber for thousands of years, until it's discovered by Hugo Gilchrist. Right after that, he drove Hugo mad and manipulated him to further his goal, including the resurrection of Dycroft. However, Stahn eventually puts an end to his ambition.

Tales of Destiny 2

Kyle Dunamis

The son of Stahn and Rutee, who dreams of being a hero like his father. One day, he goes off on a quest with his friend Loni, that took an unexpected turn when a girl named Reala was born from a giant lens right in front of him. Since her first words were that she needed a hero, Kyle immediately volunteers, only to get shot down and arrested. After breaking out he catches up to and follows her around on a giant quest involving time travel, evil religions, and an Axe Crazy Psycho for Hire. It's going to be a long road to learning what it means to become a hero...

Reala

The mysterious girl that appears out of the giant lens in the Laguna Ruins. She can cause miracles using the lens pendant she wears, and is known as a "Holy Woman," same as Elraine. Reala is searching for a hero and this drives the plot for much game, but eventually she decides that her hero is Kyle. It turns out that Reala is an incarnation of the Goddess Fortuna, created in the future time period in order to lead humanity to "perfect happiness". Thus, to destroy Fortuna is to destroy her as well. But in the end, her bond with Kyle is so strong that she rematerialized with her memories intact at the end so that she could be with Kyle.

Loni Dunamis

An orphan who lives at the Dunamis Orphanage, and Kyle's best friend. He idolized Stahn and Rutee, and joined the Atamoni Group hoping that one day he could be someone the kids at the orphanage look up to. He and Kyle eventually set out together on a huge adventure to become heroes, and they get much more than they bargained for. Loni feels guilty for Stahn's death, as Stahn only died because Barbatos used him as a hostage, and made a vow to protect Kyle as a way to make amends with himself.

Judas

A masked swordsman with no past who broke Kyle and Loni out of jail, and then decided to join them. He's nihilistic, sarcastic, and the token serious guy of the group, which lands him with the title of "token old guy," even though he looks and sounds like a teenager. He's actually Leon Magnus, traitor to the heroes, brought Back from the Dead by Elraine. She brought him back to help her, but he refused, deciding to make his own destiny. However, this really only works with the original PSX version of Leon, who could feasibly be brought back as The Atoner. Remake Leon died a hero, not a traitor, so him becoming Judas is much less likely.) Though in spoiler tags, his identity is never meant to be a secret from the player.

Judas/ Lion:Instant miracles are not brought to mix with life now. Time passes... Unite here and rise to the future! Righteous Holy Sword! I cut off the past... Scatter! Majin Rengokusatsu!

    • It also has its own subtitles, yeah the move was too awesome so they decided to give it TWO Badass Creed to match its awesomeness!

Blood rejects blood, Heart breaks heart, Miracles aren't coming, Dreams and so forth... Therefore they don't exist there. You resist?!

Nanaly Fletch

A hot archer from the hot continent of Calvalese, running an orphanage in Hope Town 10 years in the future. She has a lot of resentment for the Corrupt Church because they refused to help her sick little brother unless he entered a life of servitude under them in return, and decides to join Kyle's group in the hope that if Elraine is destroyed, maybe the thousands of people who blindly follow her will have a better life. Nanaly functions as the team babysitter. Oh, and you really don't want to make her mad.

Harold Berselius

The creator of the Swordians, whom the party meets when they go several hundred years into the past. To everyone's surprise, not only is the genius scientist Harold Berselius a girl, she's also a bit crazy. She joins the party, and often threatens to use everyone else as test subjects for her experiments.

Barbatos Goetia

NO. ITEMS. EVER. BITCH.

One of the three Big Bads of Tales of Destiny 2 and arguably the most popular of the three, Barbatos is an Ax Crazy man who was erased from history for losing a fight with Dymlos (and many other acts of villainy). And he is BITTER about it. He partnered with Elraine because she promised to restore his place in history. He rampages around time, attacking people, killing Stahn, and hating gels and magic. He's easily the series' most popular villain, and has appeared as a Bonus Boss in both Tales of Vesperia and the PlayStation 2 remake of Tales of Destiny. He also gets a homage title in Tales of Hearts, which you get by completing an entire playthrough with, well, no items ever.

  • An Axe to Grind
  • Anti-Magic: He swiftly and brutally retaliates against the use of spells and items.
  • Ax Crazy: Surprisingly subverted. Despite looking like a standard Brute, Barbatos does show a surprising degree of cunning and intellect, much more so than any craziness. However, when he fights...
  • Better to Die Than Be Killed: Rather than accept that he was defeated by Kyle and his party, he throws himself into the Eye of God, claiming that he lost only to his own strength.
  • Bonus Boss: Outside of Tales of Destiny 2.
  • Dangerously Genre Savvy: When you fight him, he displays some incredible amounts of this - countering the use of spells, denying your mages, punishing you for taking actions, and whenever you use an item, he runs over to you, screams "NO. ITEMS. EVER!" and throws you into oblivion, undoing any effect the item may have had.
  • Dark-Skinned Blond
  • Dirty Coward: He betrayed Earth for the Aetherians in the past, and took a kid hostage to disarm Stahn before butchering him in the present.
  • The Dragon
  • Easy Mode Mockery: So, did you set your difficulty to 'Easiest' if you face him in Tales of Destiny remake? Congratulations. HE KILLS YOU AND YOUR PARTY IN ONE HIT.
  • Evil Laugh
  • Foe-Tossing Charge: You use your item, and he tramples through your allies, and then... NO.ITEMS.EVEEEERRRRRR!!!!!
  • Hero-Killer: He's called Killer of Heroes when he's a Bonus Boss in Tales of Vesperia
  • Kiai: BRRRRRUUUUUAAAAAAA!!!!!
  • Large Ham: Barbatos goes all the way to add a dramatic adjective in every spells he cast. "Shakunetsu no BURN STRIKE!!!", "Zetsubou no CEILING FALL!!!", etc
  • Meaningful Name: He was summoned to do Elraine's bidding, and his name references the Ars Goetia.
  • Names to Know in Anime: Norio Wakamoto
  • Scary Black Man: Considering his feats, you have every right to be scared of this guy.
    • Invoked even further in the TOD remake where he is considerably more dark-skinned than in the sequel. Depending on the Artist, perhaps?
  • The Starscream: Becomes this for the other antagonist Elraine during his last moments in the Drama CD.
  • This Is Sparta: NO.ITEMS.EVEEEERRRRRR!!!!!
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Even when you're a super scary villain and kinda black skinned.

Elraine

The second Big Bad of the game. She is a holy priestess known to create various miracles and accept Lens donations, rising to prominence later after the events of Tales of Destiny. Unfortunately, she an ulterior motive: to summon Fortuna as it was ordealed by her, and eventually replace her. For that, she'll need the previous heroes to be killed off. She hired Barbatos to do the job, and attempts to do the same on Leon Magnus, but failed and he ended up becoming Judas, but did not expect Stahn's son Kyle, and Fortuna's other creation Reala to bar her path so adamantly. She is eventually defeated.

Tropes associated with Elraine:

Fortuna

The final boss of the game. After Elraine's defeat final she appears and talks with Reala, who declares that gods like them are not needed to help humans anymore. This causes Fortuna to snap and declare that if the humans don't need her, she would eradicate them and their history and build a new world. On Fortuna's defeat, time was fixed and events of her interference (Elraine and Barbatos' appearances, Leon's revival as Judas) never happened, and thus history is restored.
