[edit] Secondary characters
- Brau & Sylvan
- Animal companions to Claudia in the beginning of her story. Brau is a bear, and Sylvan, a wolf. For the beginning, they aren't dismissable, but after a certain mission, they leave forever.
- Captain Silver
- The great pirate who guards over the Opal fatestone found in Captain Silver's Cave. She guards the Opal in the form of a dragon. She can only be recruited if you have access to Pirate's Coast after you defeat her and take the Opal from the cave.
- Darque
- A man who had lost his memories. You can recruit him if you have completed the quest "The Assassins Guild", defeated the Saruin Priest during "Pirates Invasion" in the sewers or Saruin's Minion during "Ailing Emperor", and had talked to Death from your last playthrough. He is found in any town except South Estamir.
- Diana
- Sister to Albert and can be found in Oapu or Godongo on Walon Isle but cannot be recruited into the same party as Albert. In Albert's story she appears to get killed by a Dragon, but appears in the end if Neidhart is not in your party.
- Dowd
- Dowd is a thief who lives in South Estamir. He starts out with Jamil and cannot be recruited again if you let him go. Also, until you do certain requirements during Jamil's game, you won't be able to recruit him with other characters.
- Dragon Knight
- A swordwielding blue dragon who once nobly protected the Knights' Dominion. Can be recruited after you solve all of the problems happening in the Dominion, though you must have an empty space in your party when he appears and have Prince Neidhart in your party or you can never recruit him. Also, once he loses all LP, you cannot bring him back via Death.
- Farah
- Jamil's significant other. She lives in a run-down shack in South Estamir. She is one of the girls taken during: Wuhan's Secret, and can't be recruited if the main character is Jamil.
- Frielei
- The guardian of the treasure of Frosthold Fortress, frozen in ice for a hundred years.
- Galahad
- A paladin from Rosalia. He starts the game with Gray.
- Gian
- He is one of Melvir's knights, who works under Neville. If you do a mission entitled: Neville's Request, in which you must save him (again if you play as Claudia) he explains why he was sent to spy on the Duke of Loban, and hints about the Emperor having a child. At certain parts of the story, you are allowed to recruit him.
- Guella Ha
- A Geckling (an anthropomorphized gecko) from Wallon Isle. He seeks out the kinder side of humans. He can be recruited at the Northpoint Pub.
- Herman
- A loud and obnoxious member of Barbara's troupe. He starts off in Barbara's party but can be recruited with any character.
- The Minstrel
- He is the only recurring character out of the trilogy, although it may not be the exact same incarnation of the character. He is known for his singing and storytelling, and his flamboyant clothing. Another defining aspect of the character is his tendency to be found in pubs. Voiced by Richard Cansino.
- Myriam
- A fire mage of North Estamir. She starts the game with Gray.
- Neidhart
- He is the Prince of Rosalia and can be found in Crystal City in Rosalia. In the beginning of Albert's story, he proposes to Diana. He also is a main player in the beginning of Aisha's story. If you have met Neidhart throughout your playthrough, he will kill the Dragon Knight and you must then play as him. However, if you have him in your party, you will not have to kill the Dragon Knight.
- Patrick
- The treasurer of the Bafal Empire, placed on leave after being framed for embezzlement. He can be recruited at his house in Melvir.
- Raphael
