Cecil, The Dark Knight The former head of Baron's Red Wings. After launching a successful raid upon Mysidia for the Water Crystal, Cecil begins to wonder about the wholesomeness of his trade - a Dark Knight under the King - and questions the ethics of the orders of the Baronian King he serves. Cecil is ousted from his post by the King of Baron himself, suspected of treason by his questioning nature. Although hurt by his demotion, Cecil still serves Baron, going on a mission to deliver a package to the Village Mist. A benevolent soul, besides his standing as a Dark Knight, Cecil always chooses to follow the right path, regardless of orders or incentive.  Weapon Support  Armor Support  Gauntlet Support Swords Shields Body Armor  Special Skills DarkWave Attacks all enemies for non-elemental damage at the cost of the character's HP. "I'm sure his Majesty has his reasons..." Kain, The Dragoon Baron's most prominient Dragoon, Kain is Cecil's best friend at the beginning of the tale. However, for some odd reason, Kain wavers back and forth between the side of good and evil, sometimes fighting against Cecil, sometimes aiding him against Golbez's cohorts. His love triangle with Rosa and Cecil, while sometimes putting Cecil and Kain at odds, nevertheless keeps the three closeknit. What side he'll turn to in the end will invariably alter your quest, as Kain's ability to hover midair then strike his foes fiercely makes him both a deadly adversary and a powerful ally.  Weapon Support  Armor Support  Gauntlet Support Lances & Spears Shields Body Armor  Special Skills Jump Leaps the character into the air for a brief period of time, then lands with weapon drawn for powerful non-elemental damage. "You're not the only one who's lost loved ones!" Rydia, The Caller Rydia, a young girl from the Village Mist, is one of the few young people able to cast both white and black magic. Rydia's also one of the few Callers left remaining in the world, a proud people that can summon huge monsters to aid them in battle. Her mother, a longstanding Caller of high position within the village, is said to protect the small town with a Mist Dragon, a Call Beast that shares a strong bond with her own lifeforce. Timid by nature, Rydia is scared about the situation involving the loss of her mother and shows great remorse.  Weapon Support  Armor Support  Gauntlet Support Staves & Rods Robes Rings  Special Skills Call Summons a call monster to attack enemies or support characters. Black Allows the use of black magic during battle. White Allows the use of white magic during battle. "I don't need anyone's help in my own affairs!" Tellah, The Sage In search of his runaway daughter and her "spoony bard" groom, Tellah searches throughout various kingdoms until he comes across you in a cave. He's a powerful mage, with the innate ability to cast high levels of both white and black magic, a rare trait indeed. However, his old age and short-term memory often causes him to forget his spells. Tellah's temper breaks easily, often causing him to throw himself at anyone who's harmed one he's sworn to protect. Don't underestimate him because of his age; Tellah will prove himself to be a crucial player, right to the end.  Weapon Support  Armor Support  Gauntlet Support Staves & Rods Robes Rings  Special Skills Recall Remembers forgotten spells from monsters that support them. White Allows the use of white magic during battle. Black Allows the use of black magic during battle. "You may be right. I'm just a coward. I don't care. I'm staying here with Anna." Edward, The Bard Prince of a far away land, Edward joins the party very early in the game to help conquer the Antlion, after his love Anna is shot down by Baronian archers amid a formidable airship attack on Damcyan Castle. Although he is of noble blood, Edward walks under the guise of a lowly Bard, with skills suited to that task. He may not seem too useful in the long run compared to more offensive characters, but Edward's comical Hide ability can at least protect him from complete harm, even spells. While somewhat weak at heart, Edward's will always wins out in the end.  Weapon Support  Armor Support  Gauntlet Support Harps Robes Rings  Special Skills Sing Sings a melody to an enemy, causing a random status-ailment effect.

If something should happen..." Rosa, The White Wizard Cecil's companion and often romantic interest, Rosa is a specialized White Mage...and quite masterful at it too. Rosa worries constantly about Cecil, whether waiting for him to return after combat or trying to understand his resentment towards the King. The object of both Cecil and Kain's affections at times, the young White Mage, as is inherent of her trade, often tries to comfort the two of their battle woes. When Cecil is cast out of Baron, Rosa follows him out of longing once she hears of his unexpected disappearance in the Village Mist.  Weapon Support  Armor Support  Gauntlet Support Bows Robes Arrows  Special Skills Pray Pray for recovery and healing of the entire party. Aim Focus arrows on a single target for better accuracy. White Allows use of white magic during battle. "Lure the enemies here, then... Smash 'em!" Yang, The Karate Master A prince of the kingdom of Fabul, Yang can be found fighting various undead monsters and Bombs atop Mt. Hobs, which leads to his realm, the kingdom of Fabul. With the majority of Fabul's main forces wiped out by Golbez's minions, Yang, being the only survivor of their frontlines of defense, will need your help to defend Fabul from the oncoming onslaught for the Crystal of Air. He won't need too much help, however; Yang is a hardcore fighting Monk, and his power-packed punches combined with his trademark elemental claws are usually enough to decimate his opponents.  Weapon Support  Armor Support  Gauntlet Support Claws Shields Body Armor  Special Skills Power Attack for non-elemental damage at twice the strength.
