The cast of Hironobu Sakaguchi's latest masterpiece by Mistwalker: The Last Story.

To keep things consistent with the main page, this article uses the new English names throughout. The original Japanese names are included in the title of each character's article.


The Mercenaries

The main playable cast in the game. Led by Dagran, they are a gang of mercenaries who banded together for their own personal reasons and have since forged a strong bond through their shared hardships. To identify themselves as a group, they all wear the same necklace.

Zael/Elza

Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano(JP), Jack Ryder(EN)

The young protagonist of the story. He dreams of becoming a knight so that he can fight for ideals instead of survival. He receives a mysterious power called Gathering that he uses to protect those closest to him.

  • Accidental Pervert - You can choose to have Zael examine the bathroom in Syrenne and Mirania's room during one of the earlier chapters. He can either walk in and peek on the girls (then get beat up for it), or he can choose not to go in and listen to a particularly fan-servicey conversation between Syrenne and "Lisa" (Calista).
  • Anime Hair
  • Bishounen
  • Bow and Sword in Accord - In the single player mode, Zael is the only character that can normally equip a crossbow, along with his melee weapon.
  • BFS - Most of the weapons in game are huge. Zael (as well as the rest of the melee characters) can use all of the weapons in game, including the daggers meant for spell casters.
  • Chick Magnet - Zael starts to attract the attention of a lot of women later in the game. One side-quest involves him gathering a fan club for himself.
  • Conveniently an Orphan - This drives most of Zael's motivations throughout the game.
  • Counter Attack - Zael gains the ability to Counter once he clears the Tower of Trials. It's very useful on guard happy enemies.
  • Covert Pervert - Zael isn't exactly a Chaste Hero, he has his own little moments.
  • Every Guy Is Cuter WIth Hair Decs - Zael wears a few feathers in his hair.
  • The Hero
  • Heroic BSOD - He tends to have a few freak-outs when something reminds him of his childhood trauma.
  • Kick A Wall - Zael likes to kick open walls in caves. It usually works.
  • Living MacGuffin - It turns out that Zael's Gathering ability allows him to control Lazalis Island itself, making it mobile.
  • Nice Guy - Zael's pretty much a pushover and will (if you choose) to do all sorts of petty tasks for the people of Lazalis Island.
  • Orphan's Plot Trinket - Zael carries his parents' Lens, which serves as a reminder to him of them.
  • Razor Wind - Zael gains the Gale ability, which makes a whirlwind around the area he chooses to attack. It lets him spread magical effects in any magic circles that his teammates cast into the battlefield.
  • Red Right Hand - Gathering manifests as a blue right hand.
  • Shockwave Stomp - Zael's Vertical Slash ability lets him run up a wall and then slam down his sword, creating a shockwave that acts much like his Gales ability.
  • The Nose Knows - Averted, as Zael's sense of smell is apparently total utter crap (according to the rest of the party), and he can't smell anything. Which is a plus for him as he has a tendency to end up in sewers, volcanoes and other smelly locations.

Dagran/Quark

Voiced by: Unsho Ishizuka(JP), Nico Lennon(EN)

Zael's childhood friend and older brother figure. He is the leader of the Mercenaries, handling all their negotiations with prospective employers, and has the full trust of his comrades. He has promised that one day he will make them all knights.

  • Anti Villain
  • Big Bad Friend: He turns out to be the ultimate villain of the game.
  • Big Brother Mentor - To Zael. He teaches Zael the Swordplay techniques.
  • Broken Pedestal - He turns out to be the Big Bad, having manipulated the events of the game so he could get close enough to Asthar to take revenge for the deaths of his parents and get away scott-free.
  • Can't Hold His Liquor - Dagran gets pretty belligerent when he's drunk, it's rather hilarious.
  • Demonic Possession - Becomes fully possessed by the red Outsider fragment after he goes One-Winged Angel.
  • The Lancer - The pragmatist to Zael's idealism. He later loses this position to Lowell after he begins to drift away from the group in the last act.
  • Leitmotif - "Bonds", which is less a leitmotif for him personally and more for the bond shared between him and Zael. A Dark Reprise, "The One Who Rules All", serves as the final boss theme.
  • Pet the Dog - A NPC in Artisan's Alley tells Zael about a mysterious anonymous benefactor who has been paying his daughter's tuition fees. During the Epilogue, the NPC discovers that it was Dagran.
  • Red Right Hand - He gets one when he stabs Zangurak's Red Right Hand and absorbs the power of the Foreigner and the Arganan Bloodline.
  • Take Up My Sword - A variation: after Dagran is defeated by the Mercenaries, he passes on his sword (representing their oath to become knights and protect people) to Zael.
  • Team Dad
  • Useless Useful Sword - The sword that Dagran wears on his belt was bought when he and Zael were young. Turns out that it was pretty useless as a weapon, so Dagran simply wears it as a reminder of his and Zael's dream.
    • After the Epilogue, Zael (and Dagran in New Game+) can use that sword. It starts out horrifically weak, but when upgraded properly, it becomes an Infinity+1 Sword.
  • You Killed My Father - To Asthar.

Syrenne/Seiren

Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi(JP), Kelly Wenham(EN)

The heart and soul of the Mercenaries. She has a foul mouth and a fiery personality, but genuinely cares for her friends. A confident leader who loves to fight on the front lines.

Yurick/Yuris

Voiced by: Hiro Shimono(JP), Colin Ryan(EN)

The youngest member of the Mercenaries, Yurick is an absurdly-powerful fire mage. He is cold and unsociable, and views mercenary work as nothing more than a means of survival.

Lowell/Jackal

Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara(JP), Derek Ridell(EN)

An ice mage who is also proficient with swords. Lowell is cheerful, easy-going and hits on anything with a XX chromosome. Despite this carefree attitude, he's one of the most reliable members of the Mercenaries and steps up to plate when the situation calls for it.

Mirania/Manamia

Voiced by: Mamiko Noto(JP), Montserrat Lombard(EN)

A sorceress who specializes in healing magic. Mirania has a mysterious, intellectual air about her, though at times it's like she's on another planet. She acts motherly towards the other Mercenaries, and somehow maintains a trim figure despite being a terrifying glutton.

Jirall Rambaldt/Jill Ranbart

The bartender of the Mercenaries' favourite bar, "Ariela's Tavern". She is the daughter of the tavern's owner, and loves Lazalis Island.

  • Face Heel Turn: Before the game. Dagran is still quite bitter about it.

Though its power was successfully used to end a world war, it began to drain the life from the earth itself and was forcefully split into two to slow the process.
