His physical strengths exceed that of any human. And he is also never afraid to inform his opponents of this very fact before any battle. Personality: While he may seem nothing but a ‘rough and tumble’ guy, he is actually a rather laid back guy and likes to ease most situations with at time inappropriate jokes, such as his famous ‘hunches’, including his constant comments about the “Hot Clicks”, he also acts as a bit of a ladies man. Despite this he loyally serves Quark for the better of the next generation. Recruitment Info: Cliff will join you early in the game, and will likely be one of your highest use characters because of it.

Her father is the well known Nevelle Zelpher, whom was also a great servant for the Kingdom of Aquios. Personality: She takes her job very seriously, and rarely cuts any corners in getting her job done. She comes across as a very ruthless and cold hearted character (well the anime says otherwise, but this is about the game ok?). Despite her hard working & aloof appearance, she still cares deeply for those that serve her. She just has difficulty in expressing it and believes that emotion cannot interfere with her work. Recruitment Info: She is also one of the four characters you don’t need to have in your final party, and may be one of three that will perform a rescue action later in the game. Even if she does not she will still be recruitable if you firstly deny Peppita the opportunity to join early on disk 2. Then later visit her at her castle and tell her “You don’t have time to chat”, of course you cannot have optionally recruited any others after denying Peppita for this to be available. Roger S. Huxley  Japanese Version Name: Roger S. Huxley Race: Menodix Height: 3'1" Weight: 66 lbs Age: 12 Weapon: Axe Starting Level: 6 Background: Roger is a typical young Menodix boy that is always keen to 'prove his strength'.

He thinks only of the glory and being the winner of his so called “True man contest. Personality: He is also very confident, energetic, and quiet abrupt with things he says, will often dismiss the aid of others to claim he done a task all by himself. Also despite his young age he is rather keen on the females. He certainly acts, or at least thinks he is much older then he is. Recruitment info: Firstly you can actually miss this guy if you don’t rescue him from his cage at Duggus Forest. He then will become one of the four characters you don’t need to have in your final party, and may be one of three that will perform a rescue action later in the game. Even if he does not he will still be recruitable if you firstly deny Peppita the opportunity to join early on disk 2. Then later see him in the mayors house at Surferio, just ask him to join if you still have a space left. Adray Lasbard  Japanese Version Name: Adlai Lasbard Race: Elicoorian Height: 6'1" Weight: 220 lbs Age: 58 Weapon: Sword & Runology Starting Level: 18 Background: Adray is a former member of the elite "Crimson Blade" one of the military arms to Aquaria of Elicoor II. He worked along side Nels father Nevelle Zelpher for a number of missions. He has also performed many great and dangerous tasks for Aquaria in the past. Despite his age of 58 he is still considered one of the most powerful servants of Aquaria. Personality: His knowledge and skills are rarely equalled in Elicoor. He loathes tasks requiring him to remain still such as office work; he is much as ease on the battle field. He is however not the easiest guy to get along with, and often gets sent on dangerous; even seemingly pointless missions just about as far away from Aquaria as possible. Recruitment Info: He can potentially join as early as just prior the Elicoor War, or late in the game; either way he will join you eventually. Although only in the Director's Cut version of course, he was not in the original Japan only version in any form.

She now serves Quark religiously, while also having a hidden agenda which comes to surface later on in the game. Recruitment Info: She will join regardless of your actions a little way into the game. Albel Nox  Japanese Version Name: Arbel Nox Race: Elicoorian Height: 6’1” Weight: 141 lbs Age: 24 Weapon: Katana & Gauntlet/Claw Starting Level: 24 Background: Albel is the leader of the Black Brigade, one of the three powerful arms at the Airyglyth disposal of Elicoor. At an early age he lost him arm due to a Dragon attack where his father saved him from death, hence the Gauntlet/Claw arm. Even with one useful arm he is still a highly competent swordsman. Personality: He calls himself "Albel the Wicked", overconfident, arrogant & ruthless. Although one of the greatest swordsman in the land its no surprise he is extremely confident in his own abilities. He is often quick to dismiss his enemies and at times underestimate them, regularly degrading them with comments like “Maggot” or “Worms”. Recruitment info: He is also one of the four characters you don’t need to have in your final party, and may be one of three that will perform a rescue action later in the game. Even if he does not he will still be recruitable if you firstly deny Peppita the opportunity to join early on disk 2. Then later see him nearby where you once battled with Crosell, defeat him while you still have a spot remaining and you will be the opportunity to have him rejoin you. Mirage Koas  Japanese Version Name: Mirage Coast Race: Klausian Height: 5'9" Weight: 117 lbs Age: 27 Weapon: Gauntlet Background: Mirage also serves under Quark and is a long time friend of Cliff, whom both learned to fight at the same dojo club long ago. While rather tame in appearance she is not one to be reckoned with, it’s also believed that she has defeated Cliff 982 to 11 with 43 ties while sparring together. Personality: She is a beautiful, well mannered, yet extremely powerful lady; such is the way of the Klausians. She is also an extremely dependable and loyal lady to those she serves, even when Cliff might be making a stupid decision she will support it all the way. Recruitment Info: While you witness her very early in the game you part ways with her soon after. She will join you much later in the game, not until later on disk 2 when you return to Elicoor II after various other tasks throughout the game. This will occur regardless of your actions and other recruitments, although only in the Directors cut version of course as she was not playable in the original Japan only version.
