Frederick: A calm and collected knight serving the Holy Kingdom of Iris. Supports Krom as his deputy in the vigilante force. His class is Great Knight, a promoted unit who fights on a horse. He is a veteran who prefers guiding others and a great asset against powerful foes.

Sumia: A member of the vigilante force. She is a klutz and feels that she isn't up to the job because of it. Possesses the mysterious ability of understanding the feelings of animals. Her class is Pegasus Knight; her mobility on a pegasus is her selling point.

Cullum: An armored Knight who serves the vigilante force. He is a front-line fighter, due to his great defence. However, he's sorely lacking in presence and isn't noticed even among his fighting peers. Will he ever appear in the spotlight one day...?

Ronku: A Myrmidon from the Kingdom of Feria, located to the north of Iris. He is a man with a cool personality, and keeps his feelings to himself. He's skilled with swords, but apparently bad with women for some reason. How he joins Krom's group is still unknown.
