The son of the legendary General Gunther, Welkin just wanted to live a quiet life as a teacher. This plan gets sidetracked when The Imperials invade his hometown of Bruhl. Welkin quickly adapts and joins the Squad 7 militia as its leader. Using his scientific knowledge, he quickly becomes a strategist rivaling his father and organizes Squad 7 into the Imperials' greatest threat. In combat, Welkin generally doesn't fight directly, and instead gives orders to the squad from his father's tank, the ''Edelweiss''.
 
* [[The Ace]]: Played with/subverted. While Welkin is a tactical genius and incredible battlefield leader, he's not the best at actual soldiering. When on missions outside the Edelweiss, he's average at best when compared to other Scouts.
* [[Ancestral Weapon]]: The ''Edelweiss''.
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: His knowledge of animals and nature in general has often been useful for creating impressive strategies.
* [[Badass Bookworm]]

* [[Catch Phrase]]: ''Squad 7, move out!''
Line 24:
* [[The Hero]]
* [[In the Blood]]: He doesn't want to be, but he's adaptable.
* [[Nature Hero]]: Odd variation. He's a nature otaku, and every military strategy he uses is related to or inspired by nature in some way. Also, he's shown to be happiest when he be in a completely natural environment, just studying the wildlife.
* [[Nice Guy]]: Many so-called heroes would have much to learn from Welkin.
* [[The Power of Love]]: One of Welkin's hidden Potentials is even called this: all his stats are raised when Alicia is in battle with him. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|D'AWWE!!! :'D]]
* [[The Strategist]]: The most powerful weapon in the entire Gallian army is Lieutenant Gunther's ''brain''.
* [[Tank Goodness]]

Born and [[Incredibly Lame Pun|bread]] as a baker, Alicia was reluctant to go to war, but joined the militia to protect her hometown of Bruhl. After being rescued by Welkin, she joins Squad 7 as his second-in-command and love interest. {{spoiler|She eventually learns that she is a descendant of the Valkyrur, and her inheritance of their powers make her one of Gallia's biggest assets.

** In his backstory, he also routed an unit of Imperials with only a handful of soldiers despite being outgunned and outnumbered.

* [[One-Hit Kill]]: His strongest potential gives him a chance to inflict one on tanks.
 
Line 397 ⟶ 396:

* [[Not Good Withwith People]]
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]

Line 535 ⟶ 534:

* [[Fantastic Racism]]

Squad 7's dedicated medical specialist. The Medic will valiantly run to the battlefield to evacuate any of your members who has been taken down.
* [[Canon Foreigner]] / [[Expy]]: Looks very much like Fina from ''[[Skies of Arcadia (Video Game)|Skies of Arcadia]]'', which was produced by the same team. Given that Vyse and Aika show up in the game as well, this is obviously intentional.
* {{spoiler|[[Twin Switch|Triplet Switch]]: The "Medic" is actually a trio of identical triplet sisters named [[Theme Naming|Fina, Hina and Mina]].}}
 
'''The Drill Sergeant/ {{spoiler|Clavaro Rodriguez}}'''
 
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Well duh.]]
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|With A Heart of Gold]]: He may be harsh to the troops during training, but he's genuinely proud of them once a class become Elites, and once all classes reach lv 20.

* {{spoiler|[[I Did What I Had to Do]]: Considered shooting Alicia necessary to save Gallia, though later comes to regret that decision.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]: Sacrifices himself while killing Maximillian in penance for wounding Alicia.}}
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Oddly, despite the fact Faldio hits on Alicia several times in the anime, he also seems to be working his ass off to convince Welkin to hook up with her, though, as a flashback reveals, he was there when Welkin could have married one of the most sought after women and college and let her get away, so it's fair to say most of his attraction, while possibly genuine, is also probably an attempt to get a rise out of Welkin (thus revealing Welkin has a sex drive) and get him to realize there's an attractive young lady and he would make a cute couple with her. In fact, he more or less practically screams that in Welkin's face in Episode 11.

** He's also pretty abusive to {{spoiler|Selvaria after you defeat her.}}
* [[Stay in Thethe Kitchen]]: His ideas about the proper place of women would get him repeatedly shot by any random feminist. He's even this way to ''Varrot'', who is far more competent than him even on her worst day while sleep deprived and drunk.
* [[Ted Baxter]]: He firmly believe the regular army kicks ass and he's a great commander when the only reason he's in command at all is thanks to having friends in high places.
* [[We Have Reserves]]: What he sees the militia as.

* [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]]: Just look the rest of her tropes!

* [[Heel Realization]]: After being defeated by Squad 7.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Don't let his affable ladies man attitude fool you. He's very sharp, and in the anime he pretty much figures out {{spoiler|someone was trying to kill Maximillian in Episode 9}} on his own.
