Valkyria Chronicles III/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The Primary Protagonists

Kurt Irving (Number 7)

= Voiced by Yuuichi Nakamura in Japanese =

A 20-year-old ex-officer banished to the Nameless for charges of treason. He now uses his time among the Nameless to gain back his name and redeem himself. His preferred classes are Shocktrooper (his starting class) and Sniper. Despite this, his special ability Direct Command allows up to two allies to move with him for free (beyond the cost of activating the ability) so he is possibly best off as a Scout to maximize how far he can drag low movement allies.

  • The Ace: Was a top Lanseal cadet who graduated shortly before the Imperial invasion of EC 1935.
  • Colonel Badass
  • Depending on the Artist: His pistol changes wildly across depictions. He's shown with a 1911 (promotional art), CZ75 (character portrait), and something else entirely (animated cutscene).
  • Do Not Go Gentle: While framed for treason, stripped of his name, and constantly thrown on suicide missions, Kurt remains rather collected and free of the despair most of the other Nameless exhibit at the start, choosing to instead remain professional and collected.
  • Limit Break: Kurt is able to get two nearby allies to follow him and attack together while only using up his own pool of AP.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Has a talent for mixing herbs and spices in order to make eating rations more tolerable - sometimes at the entire Squad's expense, though he's generally pretty good at it.
  • Redemption Quest
  • Sweet Tooth: Whenever he's angry, he'd cool his head off with candies.
  • Theme Naming: The number "7", a staple within the series, this time used as his number within the Nameless.
  • Worthy Opponent: Dahau. Ever since their first encounter, Kurt considers defeating Calamity Raven not only a duty to protect his friends, but also to test Dahau's mettle in combat.
  • You Are Number Seven

Imca (Ace Number 1)

= Voiced by Masumi Asano in Japansese. =

A 17-year-old Darcsen from an Imperial village very near the Gallian border, armed with a rocket BFS out for revenge against a Valkyria who destroyed her village. Her preferred classes are Lancer (her starting class) and Fencer.

Riela Marceris (Number 13)

= Voiced by Aya Endo in Japanese. =

A 21-year-old Valkyria viewed as The Jinx for being only survivor of many doomed army squads. Her preferred classes are Scout (starting class) and Engineer.

Squad 422 (The Nameless)

Gallia's penal military unit, consisting of criminals, deserters and military offenders whose names are stricken off the record and given numbers in their place. Expected to die for Gallia, they are sent to do Gallia's dirtiest jobs, up to and including taking on Calamity Raven, an Imperial detachment mostly made of Darcsens.

Gloria Darrell (Number 3)

An old lady accused of weapons smuggling and was a "madam" at a whorehouse.

Gusrug (Number 6)

= Voiced by Takuya Kirimoto in Japanese =

Squad 422's Darcsen Tank Commander.

Alphonse O'Clair (Number 11)

Also known as the "Gallian Hawk", Alphonse prides himself on being an expert spy. He got sent to the Nameless for his illegal methods of information-gathering.

Valerie Aynsley (Number 12)

A historian seeking the truth behind the Darcsen Calamity. Wound up as "Number 12" for repeated counts of trespassing into historical ruins and breaking into the royal archives.

Amy Apple (Number 15)

An ordinary girl tricked into joining the Nameless in a desperate attempt to get enough money to fund her father's artistic career.

Ada Ansorge (Number 16)

A police officer driven to put Cedric on death row, who, for refusing to cooperate with an officer who decided to send Cedric to the Nameless instead, is sent over to become, ironically, Cedric's squadmate as "Number 16".

Ilmari Gasotto (Number 17)

A young man branded as "Number 17" for failing to show up at a compulsory Militia draft, having felt too lazy at that time.

Elliot Oates (Number 18)

A man in a fancy suit and gloves branded as "Number 18" for alleged marriage fraud.

Frederica Lipps (Number 19)

A beautiful spy who went to the Nameless to escape from people chasing after her.

  • Custom Uniform: Her outfit is pretty much a long-sleeved one-piece with side slits showing her thighs, complete with fishnet stockings.
  • Femme Fatale
  • Honey Trap: Her main technique as a spy.

Felix Crowley (Number 21)

A Shocktrooper (initially) with a strong "big brother" instinct towards his squadmates.

Leila Peron (Number 23)

= Voiced by Umeka Shouji in Japanese =

Older sister of VC1's Homer and a domineering woman who calls herself "Queen." She has an overarching desire to toughen up every man in Gallia... and ended up at Squad 422 for "educating" an officer.

  • Determinator: She intends to "toughen up" every man, including Maximilian, in order to put a quick end to the war.
  • Dominatrix: Complete with a riding crop. This may explain Homer.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: She busts into the scene during Edy and Homer's milestone 100th article for the Valkyria Chronicles Blog.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Her domineering personality stems from her genuine desire to toughen up the weak-willed Homer. Unfortunately she went overboard, got banished to the Nameless for setting her sights on an officer... and produced a masochist.
  • Nice Hat
  • Whip It Good: And poor Alphonse O'Clair is the frequent target of her riding crop.
  • Zettai Ryouiki

Annika Olcott (Number 24)

An energetic girl who gets into a lot of fights, and ended up among the Nameless for beating a rogue senseless.

Cedric Drake (Number 25)

A notorious criminal drafted into Squad 422 for repeated counts of theft and murder, among other things.

Gisele Fleming (Number 26)

A pyromaniac sent to the Nameless for repeated counts of arson.

Giulio Rosso (Number 32)

A former chef banished to the Nameless for stealing rare food ingredients from a high-ranking officer.

Margit Ravelli (Number 33)

An Army officer and a Lanseal graduate whose subordinates' failure to comply to her orders in a mission wound her up as Number 33.

  • The Ace: Like Kurt, she was a Lanseal graduate with full honors.
  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: Just like fellow Lancer Juliana Everhart, one of her tactics during a mission when she was at the Army involved attacking the enemy head-on. Her subordinates failed to comply, and she paid the price.
  • Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs
  • Princess Curls
  • Redemption Quest: One of her squadmate missions revolves around reliving the same mission that disgraced her, but this time, having learned from her bitter experience, she opted to use an unmarked bypass to attack the Imperials from the flank and convince Kurt to put her in the reins.

Serge Liebert (Number 45)

A sickly young man who only volunteered to the Nameless so he could die gloriously in a battlefield.

  • Death Seeker: And he wants to go down in a blaze of wartime glory. If you complete his Fragment, he gets over his death-seeking tendency.
  • Ill Boy
  • Nice Hat

Clarissa Callaghan (Number 46)

A nurse sent to the Nameless for allowing a captured Imperial soldier wounded in combat to go free.

Deight (Number 56)

An armored tech (initially) and a Darcsen.

Zahar Alonso (Number 57)

A former general of Fhirald (the same nation Radi Jaeger of VC1 came from), but became a mercenary after it was taken by the Empire. Found a job with the Gallian Army, but his drinking habits got him into trouble.

Shin Hyuga (Number 58)

An immigrant from a distant realm in the east, with a Gallian mother and a far-eastern father. Using his native homeland's customs, he swore fealty to Princess Cordelia alone, and would not obey orders from the Militia, which is what brought him into the ranks of the Nameless.

Antonio Jose Rodriguez (Number 100)

A brother of Calvaro Rodriguez (of Valkyria Chronicles and Valkyria Chronicles II fame) and, like him, the drill instructor for Squad 422.


Other Gallians

Carisa Contzen (Number 63)

The girl in charge of R&D for this game, although she is not one of the Nameless.

Ramsey Crow

Kurt's superior officer and the man in charge of Squad 422.

  • Carpet of Virility: Apparently he never button his uniform.
  • Expy: Of the good, late, frikkin' Freddie Mercury of Queen fame.
  • Instant Dogend
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: He treats The Nameless as people, and is willing to risk everything to defend them in the Military Tribunal. And by everything, this means going against the top brass and even the Church of Yggdism. This man has balls.

Carl Isler

A member of the Gallian Army and the officer who sent Kurt to join Squad 422.


Calamity Raven

The Empire's "Trash", one could say, they are the primary antagonists from Chapter 3 onwards, and consist of mostly Darcsen troops. One could say they are the antithesis of Squad 442.

Dahau

= Voiced by Koichi Yamadera in Japanese =

A Darcsen and the leader of Calamity Raven, carries a giant Rifle around (as shown in the Demo).

Lydia Agute

= Voiced by Aya Hisakawa in Japanese =

Second-in-command of Calamity Raven, and perhaps the only non-Darcsen member of the squad. She's also their Tank Commander aboard the Batomys-class Echidna.

Zig

A young Darcsen Fencer who admires Dahau.
