[[File:
{{quote|
Race: Shra-Sikohlon. Class: [[The Paladin|Whiteblade]]. Human-normalized age: 22 (real age: 110-113)
Line 13:
In-game description: ''"A polite, peaceful young shra, he tries to fit in with the people of Wadassia. A gate guard for the city's defense army. A well-balanced fighter with no outstanding strengths or weaknesses, he arrived in Wadassia one day 10 years ago."''
Raised as a Sikohlon, Dehl tries to act like a human. As such, he is extremely orderly and obedient to human rules, even if others look down on him for being a shra. He feels that this is his duty, as he has lived in Wadassia ever since he came to the mainland, and he says it has granted him great
Dehl is also very [[The Stoic|stoic]], peaceful, and compassionate as part of his upbringing among the Sikohlon, a clan of pacifists. There seems to be something slightly off about him compared to the rest of them, though, such as his willingness to wade into combat and the sadness in his eyes...
{{spoiler|...That's because he was horribly traumatized as a child. His father attempted to create a virus that spread through bloodshed, as a way of deterring violence -- this was the Blue Plague. However, he overdid it, and made the virus deadly instead of just a deterrent. Somehow, he found out that shra blood could resist the infection -- and so he killed everyone on Dehl's island to gather blood samples and isolate a cure. He failed though -- when Dehl was the only one left, Dehl's pseudo-magic powers manifested, leading to the [[Accidental Murder]] of his father. Dehl then took a Plague-infected Moke (the only survivor) with him to the mainland, leading to the spread of the Blue Plague in the first place. [[
* {{spoiler|[[Accidental Murder]]}}: {{spoiler|Of his father, in self-defense.}}
Line 23:
* [[Berserk Button]]: The si'shra come pretty close to this for him; the only time his normally calm and pacifistic resolve fractures {{spoiler|prior to chapter 6}} is when he's about to confront {{spoiler|the si'shra warden}}. He actually ''wants'' to charge straight into battle and dissuades any attempt at diplomacy.
** Possibly justified, since all the Sikohlon seem to have been taught from a young age to loathe the si'shra.
* {{spoiler|[[The Berserker]]}}: {{spoiler|Turns into one after his [[Freak
* [[Character Development]]: And ''how!'' By the end of chapter 5, he goes from being a soft-spoken [[Extreme Doormat]] content to do thankless deeds to a celebrity and symbol of hope for the entire world, as well as a capable leader of a large and varied guild.
** This is symbolically represented by his [[Eleventh

He doesn't actually do a whole lot of leading and is barely even able to claim the title of "main character" (as corresponded by the fact that he actually can be [[Can't Drop the Hero|dropped]] from the active party).
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: He and Qualstio have shades of this. Justified, since when Dehl came from the mainland, {{spoiler|he had just witnessed his entire family being killed, and had only an infirm Moke for companionship.

He was expelled from the guild for this failure, and lived in constant fear that they would take revenge, gradually leading to a complete mental breakdown. His wife couldn't take this, and had to leave him -- but this just made things worse, as Sirush thought that the assassins had taken her as a way of getting back at him.

[[File:
As a Councillord, Pazzato is unrivaled in mastery of his element. Of the Councillords, he is actually the least antagonistic toward Six Stars, even casually asking them for help with a task. {{spoiler|However, this is merely a clever ruse to distract them while he duels Metzino. For he has a [[Feuding Families|blood feud]] with the Metzino line, and eventually wins the duel due to his signature [[Mind Over Matter|telekinesis]] technique. Qualstio is enraged when he sees this, and, along with the guild, avenges Metzino's death soon after.}}

{{spoiler|Actually, they can -- because he isn't a god at all. He's ''Havan''. It turns out that, as a matter of fact, Havan was the first person Fell approached as a "chosen one", not Dehl. He and his guild performed her tests for ''years'' while being told that they were chosen and were the ones who would ascend. However, after Havan finds and becomes obsessed with his relic, Fell becomes disappointed in him, and casually brushes him aside in favor of Six Stars, despite everything he has done for her. He takes this well enough until Six Stars disappears and Donz destroys the world. Enraged at this betrayal, he and the Blue Guard ascend to the Watcher's perch. When they block his path, he slaughters them. For some reason, instead of continuing onwards to confront Dehl, the Blue Guard returns to the Surface, and takes over what remains of the world.}}

* [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler|[[Your Mileage May Vary]] as to whether or not he was justified in exacting his revenge on the Watchers, but his pre-battle cutscene shows just how twisted and despicable he's become (and also shows he wasn't entirely scrupulous to begin with).

=== Taru Clapian ===
[[File:
{{quote|
A young man "hired" by Rehm's crew in the prologue. He is naive, but quickly grows attached to his new comrades. Unlike others, he is very accepting and sympathetic towards the shra. It is his heroic efforts that {{spoiler|stop Pazzato from completely destroying the ship}}.

{{spoiler|In the present day, Taru still hasn't gotten over what he perceives as Rehm's "betrayal". Indeed, he has become a bitter, secluded, misanthropic [[Jerkass]] who openly despises Shra for being "cowards" and is similarly disdainful of pretty much anyone who crosses his path. As should be obvious from that last paragraph and his surname, he is Tehgonan's father.}}

[[File:
A strange young man inhabiting a cave in the Mudlands outside of Nal. He is very placid and [[Cloudcuckoolander|rather airheaded]]. Rulian has an incredibly magical talent -- [[Necromancer|reanimating the dead]]. Unfortunately, he does not realize that they are terrorizing the town

=== Fell ===
[[File:
{{quote|
Fell is a mysterious old woman who appears to have some sort of precognitive ability, and can see the full truth of everything that's going on. She assists Dehl and his guild by giving him "tests" that can drastically affect the entire world. Her motives and how much she really knows is uncertain, though she claims to take orders from an even higher being known as "The Voice Himself". The other Watchers refer to her as their "mother"
{{spoiler|Along with the other Watchers, she is killed by Havan after Six Stars attempts to track down Donz.}}

* [[Older Than They Look]]: They're all apparently immortal and have therefore been around for millennia, yet even Nath only looks like he's in his fifties or sixties.
