< Suikoden V

Suikoden V/The Maxmillion Knights


Isabel

  • Action Girl
  • Badass: Note - her Combination Attack with Mathias...a REALLY, really heavy downward strike...is the strongest single target physical attack in the game.
  • Breast Plate
  • Cool Sword : Sort of, it's more of a big retractable ....lance?
  • The Cape (trope): She's incredibly just and will do whatever possible to do what is right.
    • For Great Justice: Her maxim - she is intent on being worthy of calling herself "The heir to the Maximillian Knights aspirations." It's deeper than it sounds, however.
  • Continuity Nod: She and Mathias are Suikoden 5's take on the classic Maximillian and Sancho pairing from Suikoden 1.
  • Death Glare: As seen in her "conceit" unite attack with Zerase and Cathari, where they stare down the enemy and walk right into them for 1.3x damage.
  • Fiery Redhead
  • Heroic Spirit: as with the below trope, par for the course for anyone associated with the Maximillian Knights
  • Hot-Blooded: Her driving force in life is to vanquish evil and she's very passionate about it.
  • Hot Chick with a Sword: Or whatever you'd call her weapon.
  • Knight in Shining Armor: She believes in the ideals of chivalry.
  • Leotard of Power: Funnily enough, this is actually addressed, with her claiming that it aids her movement.
  • Principles Zealot: Her absolute obsession with stamping out all evil is pretty much Played for Laughs.

Mathias

  • Badass
  • The Cape (trope): Like Isabel, he is incredibly just and will do whatever possible to do what is right.
    • For Great Justice: Like the woman he serves, another requirement for being a Maximillian Knight.
  • Catch Phrase: He is notable for repeating one line (with minor changes) throughout the game, constantly talking about "finding evil, and then enacting swift and final retribution and depositing their loathsome corpses into (a body of water)."
  • Chaste Hero: See below trope.
  • Devoted to You: He is utterly devoted to Isabel.
  • Mr. Fanservice
  • I Call It Vera: As expected, he calls his pike "Isabel" in honor of his mistress. Additionally, as he comes from the Warrior's Village, the significance of naming it "Isabel" may very well not just be a mark of loyalty to his mistress, but a convention that is reserved almost always for women they love. Isabel herself also gives hints at this, if only just barely.
  • Knight in Shining Armor: He wears a full suit of armor and has the classic look of a medieval chivalrous knight.
  • Number Two: He is Isabel's loyal adjutant (or some would say, slave).
  • Platonic Life Partners: Despite his devotion to Isabel, he is not romantically interested in her. His devotion has to do with Isabel as a person, not a woman, and would serve her just as he does currently if she were a man.
  • Principles Zealot: Like Isabel, his absolute obsession with stamping out all evil is pretty much Played for Laughs.
  • The Stoic
  • Undying Loyalty: He serves Lady Isabel faithfully and devotedly, claiming he would exact swift and final retribution anyone who dare raise a sword or even insult Lady Isabel...(and deposit their loathsome corpses into the nearest body of water, naturally).

The Lindwurm Mercenary Brigade

Wilhelm

Mueller

Richard

  • Abusive Parents: Abused from a young age, he was saved when Mueller killed his tyrannical father.
  • Badass
    • Hidden Badass
    • Beware the Nice Ones: He's so laid-back and easygoing, no one would know he's a seriously amazing fighter.
  • Hero Worshipper: Mueller can do no wrong in his eyes.
  • Bishounen
  • Gladiator Games: He took part in the Sacred Games after Mueller joked he should try, but lost after being drugged by a piece of candy a small child in the audience gave him.
  • I Owe You My Life: He is utterly indebted to Mueller and follows him wherever he goes.
  • Lightning Bruiser: He's a beast in any battle and has the highest evasion and the second highest technique score. His swallow rune is very powerful and all of his stats are decent.
  • Master Swordsman: Amongst the best, if not the best in the game.
  • Nice Guy: Every line of dialogue is either encouragement to the Prince, or praise of Mueller.
  • Private Military Contractors: He's a swordsman of the Lindwurm Mercenary Brigade.
  • Punch Clock Hero: As with Mueller above, naturally.
  • The Red Baron: He goes by the name of "Blademaster", and he's worthy of it.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: Towards Mueller, as opposed to his abusive father, of course.

Babbage's Crew

Babbage

  • Anachronism Stew: His contribution to the Prince's army is inventing an elevator.
  • Clock Punk: His speciality is clockwork mechanica.
  • The Engineer
  • Mad Scientist
    • Absent-Minded Professor: He is inept at house-keeping and totally reliant on Sorensen, who he ostensibly forgets to thank for this hard work.
  • Magnum Opus: The Revolving Bridge connecting the Barows territory in Rainwall is his masterpiece it's in-universe, for those of you who'd care to know.
  • Scary Shiny Glasses: His appearance is a little disturbing, especially his creepy pin-wheel glasses.
  • Shout-Out: He is named after Charles Babbage, a 19th century British mathematician, philosopher, mechanical engineer, and proto-computer scientist who originated the idea of a programmable computer.
  • Smart People Wear Glasses
