Name: Flik Age: 27 From: Warrior's Village, Toran Republic Position: Archer Captain Notes: Original member of the Toran Liberation Army "Flik's from Warrior's Village. Their custom is that a young man has to go on a journey to complete his 'Manhood Ritual'. Flik is in the middle of that journey, but he doesn't plan to returning to the village." "While he was on his journey to manhood, he met Odessa and she changed his life forever. Odessa became first leader of the Toran Liberation Army with him as her first lieutenant." "Flik and Odessa were lovers, but she was assassinated early on in the war. I can tell from the look on his face that he still sometimes thinks about her." Name: Viktor Age: 32 From: North Window Position: Infantry Captain Note: Seeking revenge on Neclord. "His hometown was destroyed by that Neclord guy. That's why he's always traveling. It seems he was on an errand in South Window when Neclord came, and so he was the only survivor." "When Viktor got back to his village, everyone had been turned into bloodthirsty zombies. They were all eating each other. Blech!" "I don't know exactly who that Daisy was. Maybe his little sister, maybe his lover... There's no one left to tell me and Viktor ain't talking either..." Name: Viki Age: 16 From: Anywhere Position: Magic Unit Note: Watch out for her teleport! "It looks like this chick isn't even from this continent. I think she only wound up here cause of one of her crazy teleport mistakes." "Could it be teleport shock? She said that just before she came here, she was celebrating the birth of the Toran Republic. But that was 3 years ago." "She was talking in her sleep, I guess. What the hell could "Waffu" mean anyway?..." Name: Sheena Age: 19 From: Kouan, Toran Republic Position: Royal Guard Note: Son of President Lepant "It looks like his womanizing has caused a lot of embarrassment for President Lepant too, but he'll never be able to change his ways as long as he lives." "It sounds like President Lepant was quite a playboy in his youth as well. That's why it's hard for him to be too tough on Sheena." "Sheena has a soft spot for his mother, Eileen. I'll bet she really babied him when he was a kid." Name: Clive Age: 27 From: Howling Voice Guild Position: Archer Note: In pursuit of a "woman". "Looks like Clive is a member of something called the 'Howling Voice Guild' from Harmonia. They're a secret group that centers around the use of those 'Gun' things." "A 'gun' is a tool made of steel, but that's not all. I hear that these guns have special 'souls' too....." "People say that gun of his, Storm, has a soul of its own... What the hell does that mean? Maybe it's got a True Rune embedded in it?" Name: Hix Age: 20 From: Warrior's Village, Toran Republic Position: Infantry Soldier Note: Trying to become a warrior "He left Warrior's Village to complete his journey of manhood, but it looks like he's not really too interested in becoming a warrior." "Tengaar sure pushes him around a lot. But for all that they're still a well-balanced couple." "Hix's sword is named Tengaar. It's an old custom in Warrior's Village to name your sword after the most important thing in your life." Name: Tengaar Age: 18 From: Warrior's Village, Toran Village Position: Infantry Soldier Note: Traveling with Hix "She's the daughter of the village chief of Warrior's Village. She and Hix have known each other since they were kids and now they're a couple. Also, it looks like she's had a run-in with Neclord in the past." "Well, she's a cute girl, but she worries too much. She thinks she's doing everything for Hix's sake." "After Hix's journey is over, she wants to go back to Warrior's Village and get married right away." Name: Futch Age: 14 From: Goya, Domain of the Dragon Caves. Position: Infantry Soldier Note: Former Dragon Knight "He was once a full-fledged Dragon Knight, but it seems that he was dismissed from the order after he lost his mount, Black..." "He's been depressed ever since his war-dragon, Black, died while protecting his life." "It looks like he was on his way to the 'Great Shrine' in Crystal Valley to find out how to get a new dragon." Name: Humphrey Age: 35 From: Toran Republic Position: Infantry Captain Note: Former Commander of Scarlet Moon Empire Elite Guard. "Thanks to the heavy armor that Humphrey wears in combat, he can take 1 more unit of damage than normal units. It would be a good idea to put him in a unit that takes damage easily." "He was captain of the Scarlet Moon Empire's Elite Guard, but he was forced out after trying to save a village from being massacred... He doesn't like to talk about it." "When he was in the Toran Liberation Army, he used to fight alongside Flik." Name: Georg Prime Age: 41 From: Unknown Position: Infantry Captain Note: Formerly 1 of the 6 Generals of the Scarlet Moon Empire. "He's got a hell of a history. In the Scarlet Moon Empire, he was 1 of the 6 Generals. In the Grasslands, he was an Ebony Moon Knight, and in Falena he was a Royal Knight. He just threw it all away." "You'd never know by looking at him, but that old man loves sweets. I watched him put away 3 pieces of cheesecake in about 5 minutes..." "He can't go back to Falena because he's wanted for the crime of murdering the Queen. What the hell could have happened back there..." Name: Pesmerga Age: Unknown From: Unknown Position: Infantry Captain Note: None "I still don't know what this guy really is, but apparently no one in the castle has ever seen him either eating or sleeping." "He moves pretty damned quiet for a guy with all that armor, I tell ya. It's a little spooky." "I'm still not sure what kind of a creature he is. Some people say he's just a shadow from another existence." Name: Lorelai Age: 28 From: Queendom of Falena Position: Archer Note: None "Basically, she's searching for the secrets of the Sindar, but 3 years ago she took part in the Toran Liberation War. I heard she's only interested in strong men." "The Sindar are a mysterious tribe that came from the north and left ruins in every land they visited. They finally went south and just disappeared." "She's got lots of rivals that are trying to solve the riddle of the Sindar before her. Lemme tell ya though, she's crushed more than a few competitors in her lifetime....." Name: Shin Age: 27 From: The Southlands Position: Archer Captain Note: Teresa's Bodyguard "Sorry, I couldn't find out much. I thought he was sleeping, but all of a sudden he woke up and put his sword up to my throat. Scared the livin' crap outta me..." "I know he's from the south, but I can't find out any more details. You know how that guy is...." Name: Rikimaru Age: 25 From: Seika, Toran Republic Position: Infantry Captain Note: None "This guy is a big eater from way back. One time in Gregminster, he ate for 2 days straight, couldn't pay his bill and had to run off during the night." "His favorite activity is eating till he just about bursts and then sleeping for a whole day.... What a life!" "He says he's out for revenge, but I really don't know..." Name: Tomo Age: 14 From: Ryube, Muse Principality Position: Infantry Soldier Note: Tsai's daughter "Poor Tomo, she's working so hard to get her parents back together, but with that stubborn father of hers...." "Her dad taught her how to wield a spear, but she got her good looks from her mom." Name: Nanami Age: 16 From: Kyaro, Highland Kingdom Position: Royal Guard Note: None "Wow. I feel sorry for you alright. You had to eat her cooking when you were growing up? Blech!....." "It sounds like she really wants to back to Kyaro. She's got lots of memories from there...." "Does she really have to train all night long? All the soldiers complain about the noise she makes." Name: Eilie Age: 17 From: Grasslands Position: Royal Guard Note: None "She's been traveling ever since she left the Grasslands. As far as her knife-throwing goes, she's the real deal all right." "She's got a big inferiority complex towards her big sister. Who can blame her? After all, Rina is so much sexier." "She's got a thing for you, all right. She's always worried about you when you head off into combat..." "Wow, you really got it goin' on, don't ya?..." Name: Rina Age: 18 From: Grasslands Position: Royal Guard Note: None "Rina and Eilie are sisters, but they're as different as dogs and cats. Rina is poised and sophisticated, a real adult. You'd never know they were only a year apart." "She says she's from the Grasslands, but the truth is, who can tell? She's been traveling ever since she was old enough to walk." "She can handle her liquor, lemme tell ya. She even beat Viktor in a drinking contest." Name: Bolgan Age: 16 From: Zexen Position: Royal Guard Note: None "Unlike Rina and Eilie, Bolgan is from Zexen. He used to be in the circus, but he ran away. That's when he met Eilie and Rina." "He learned that fire-breathing trick in the circus. But what kind of circus uses magical runes anyway?" "He's been studying in the library lately. It looks like he's hoping to go to the Greenhill Academy." Name: Tuta Age: 11 From: Muse City Position: Rear Guard Note: None "Tuta is the son of one of Dr. Haun's friends. At his age, he's still probably crying out for his momma when it gets dark out. Poor little kid..." "Tuta's 'Medicine Rune' automatically supplies medicine to members of the group when they need it. It's pretty useful." Name: Hannah Age: 29 From: Nameless Lands Position: Infantry Captain Note: None "Well, I don't know much about her. Just that she wandered all the way here from the Nameless Lands for no reason anyone knows about." "She's one wild child. She loves to eat meat, but why am I wasting my time investigating that?..." "She doesn't talk much, but I think she'd get along well with Oulan the bodyguard." Name: Millie Age: 14 From: Unknown Position: Special Forces Note: None "She's always going around with that pet of hers, 'Bonaparte'. She seems to think it's cute, but I just don't see it..." "She calls that buggy-eyed mutant 'cute'? I tried, but I just don't get it..." "Y...you won't believe this... I saw Millie actually go 'inside' Bonaparte and take a nap in there!" Name: Karen Age: 17 From: Kuskus Position: Special Forces Note: None "When she's dancing, she's a totally different person I tell ya. It's almost like she's got an identical twin that she trades places with..." "She learned her dancing in the Toran Republic. Her teacher was someone called Mina." Name: Shiro Age: 9 From: Forest near Ryube Note: None "Well it looks like he's been with Kinnison for a long time. But an investigation of a dog?" ".................................................."

Name: Zamza Age: 29 From: Unknown Position: Magic Unit Captain Note: None "What a pain! I went to go ask this guy some questions, and all he did was talk about himself. I couldn't even get a word in edgewise! 5 long hours..." "If you could just fix it so that his 'Fire Dragon Rune' didn't cause him damage every time..." Name: Gengen Age: 17 from: Kobold Village near Two River City Position: Infantry Captain Note: None "When his tail is standing up, it means he's happy." "When his tail is down it means he's sad." "When he's found something delicious to eat, his ears stand straight up." Name: Gobocha Age: 13 From: Two River City Position: Infantry Soldier Note: None "If he fights alongside Gengen, they can do a special attack called 'Kobold Attack'." "He looks up to Gengen so much that he followed him here. All he ever talks about is 'Captain Gengen'!" "Sometimes his 'Kobold Attack' does something really amazing....." Name: Kinnison Age: 18 From: Forest near Ryube Position: Archer Captain Note: None "After living as hunters all alone in the forest, him and Shiro are having a hard time adjusting to life in the castle."

That guy must cheat! He's takin' all my bloody money." "Damn, Damn, Damn! I don't get it...... How does he do it..." "I, I can't stand it anymore.. I'm all out of gold... This investigation is costing me a fortune!" Name: Miklotov Age: Rockaxe Position: Cavalry Captain Note: Former Captain of the Blue Knights of Matilda. "This guy's got 'Cavalry Ability', so during a battle sequence, any unit you put him in will become a cavalry unit." "He's the type of guy that says whatever is on his mind. That's why he doesn't fare too will in the lady's department." "He wakes up early every morning and trains for 2 hours before breakfast. That's why his 'Blue Knights' were such great fighters. Poor guys." Name: Camus Age: 27 From: Grasslands Position: Cavalry Captain Note: Former member of Red Knights of Matilda "I heard that if he fights together with Miklotav, they can do a 'Knight Attack'." "He's originally from the Grasslands, but he moved to Matilda when he was young and took the test to become a knight. He and Miklotov became knights on the same day." "He's got rough manners, but he's a knight all the way. That guy is as tough as nails." Name: Hauser Age: 43 From: Muse City Position: General Note: Former Commander of Muse City Army "General Hauser was the best military commander in the City-State of Jowston. He's good, believe me." "Anabelle was the civic leader of Muse, while Hauser handled its military affairs. They were each excellent at their jobs and that's why Muse thrived." "Never seen anyone more devoted to his job. Tough sonofabitch never even cracks a smile." Name: Freed Y. Age: 25 From: Radat, South Window Principality Position: Infantry Captain Note: None "He's got a home in Radat... Lives there with his wife... It's a regular love nest, it is." "Bah............ I can't stand this...." "He really worshipped that old guy, Granmeyer.

It looks like Neclord has been their arch-nemesis since way back." "His family's been studying how to kill vampires for 300 years, but it looks like any of that'll work on Neclord."
