When she was younger, both her and her mother were kidnapped by Solaris in a bid to blackmail her father, Nikolai, into designing the Wel-Gear hybrids for them. Seibzehn was the first model completed; Nikolai programmed it to fly to Shevat, carrying Maria within it to safety. In hand-to-hand combat, Maria is nearly useless, having to rely on her remote control to call Seibzehn to attack her enemies. Once inside her gear though, she is a force to reckon with, nearly as powerful as the famed Xenogears. |

Emeralda can morph her body into many deadly instruments that she uses in battle, making her a ferocious fighter.

Chu-Chu | ||

She is infatuated with Fei, a fact that creeps him out somewhat. Able to grow to gigantic proportions, Chu-Chu doesn't need a gear to fight, instead stomping, slapping and pounding away at enemy gears with whatever part of her body she wishes. Whilst she has no deathblows, her Forest Dance ether can actually heal Gears in battle. |
Secondary Characters | |
Grahf | |
Referring to himself as the "Seeker of Power," Grahf appears before Fei throughout the game, seeking his power. Though not initially apparent, Grahf's history closely interwinds with Fei's. However, Grahf doesn't often fight him directly, instead offering powers to other antagonists - power which often drives them mad. | |
Sigurd Harcourt | |
Mentor and close friend to Bart, Sigurd has dedicated his life to protecting the last in the line of the Fatima family. He and Bart each had lost an eye upon the Yggdrasil a few years prior to the game. He always tried to keep his past a secret to his wards, as it is quite complicated; though in the course of the game, his true identity must be revealed... | |
Marguerite Fatima | |
Marguerite Fatima is the current Mother of Nisan, and also directly related to Bart as his cousin. Being some of the last of their lineage, she and Bart share a very close bond, and though she can be childish at times, she is able to prove herself a very strong young lady. | |
Shakhan | |
Shakhan is the evil figurehead of the Aveh empire, coming into power after having Bart's father killed. He was given his powers by Solaris simply so they could keep the war between Aveh and Kislev going strong, all as a means of them continuing Project Noah. | |
Kahran Ramsus | |
Kahran is a very high-ranking and powerful officer of the Solaris army. He seems to have a singular obsession with combatting and defeating Fei, though his exact reasoning for this remains unknown for some time. Throughout the game, he is seen challening Fei, but ultimately being defeated. | |
Miang Hawwa | |
Miang is not one character, but many. She is an agent of Deus, created to shape the course of human history to make the events lead to Deus' resurrection. When one Miang dies, another one comes into existence; or rather, another adult woman is posessed by the spirit of Miang. The new Miang always retains the memories of the previous one, as well as taking on the characteristic purple hair and eyes. | |
Big Joe | |
Big Joe is a curious character that makes various appearances before the party at different points in the game. His unique mannerisms make him all the more strange, though his presence is appreciated late in the game when he sells some of the best available equipment. | |
Wiseman | |
A hooded, enigmatic figure who appears to the party throughout the game. Often giving advice to Fei, his history and ties to the game's protagonist remain a mystery for much of the story. | |
Hammer | |
Hammer is a rat/human hybrid demi-human initally met in the D Block. Early on, he befriends the party, assisting them through the prison, but he becomes a turncoat when Krelian tempts him with a grand reward. | |
Jessiah Black | |
Jesse Black, or Jessiah, is a rough ex-member of the Elements of Solaris. He's also the father of Billy Lee Black. As part of their on-going feud, Bishop Stone turned Billy against his own father, completely unaware of the truth of the matter. It takes him quite some time to prove himself to Billy and the rest of the party and to get the record straight. | |
Id | |
Random, destructive and uncontrollable, Id is Fei's secondary identity formed during his tragic experiences as a youth. Id's emergence seems to be caused by extreme distress, causing Fei's physical appearance to change, as well as the color of his Gear. | |
Khan Wong | |
Fei's father, Khan was an agent of Shevat. He conceived Fei with a surface dweller, but because he was away so much for his duties, he was unaware of the things his wife did to his son. Khan was the one who taught Fei all that he knows about martial arts. | |
Cain | |
Emperor of Solaris, Cain has sympathy for all of those who dwell on the planet. Through a series of dummy religions and organizations on the surface, Cain was able to control the people, though he somewhat diverted from his original programmed intent of working towards solely the revival of Deus. | |
Krelian | |
Krelian's intense knowledge of nanotechnology has given him a lot of power in the empire of Solaris. Though others maintain an image of power to the public, Krelian is the one who truly pulls the strings. With his power of technology and influence, Krelian seeks to resurrect Deus. |
