DRYST

Age: 28
Starts as: LVL 21 Tyrant
Has battle quips with: Adilicia, Cador, Meltorefas, Paternus, Vaynard
Wounded Line: "Ha, ha, ha...  You are good!  I guess I'll have to come back another time."
Notes: The game claims "His actions cannot be explained with logic as he is a man who does as he pleases"  Dryst is a mad, dangerous, wine-guzzling, unpredictable scoundrel.  Thus he's a lot of fun to play.  Rattling around in his mind battling vainly against his violent and dishonorable tendencies is a strange sense of kindness and valor.  He's displayed it only to a select few, thus many never see this side of him.

 
ULSTER

Age: 32
Starts as: LVL 12 Bishop
Has battle quips with: Merriot
Wounded Line: "This isn't what I expected...."
Notes: Ulster is perhaps one of the most abused and unappreciated characters in any RPG or Turn-based strategy game I've ever played.  As a competent statesman, he' probably the only reason Iscalio hasn't gone completely bankrupt from Dryst's constant string of parties. 

 
CAMDEN

Age: 34
Starts as: LVL 14 Druid
Has battle quips with: Kiloph
Wounded Line: "How an I going to explain to my Lord..."
Notes: Despite his seeming cowardice on the battlefield, he's actually quite a valuable character.  He can become insufferable back at the palace, however, as he spends his time mocking Ulster, drinking heavily, and kissing Dryst's ass.

 
BAGDMAGUS

Age: 31
Starts as: LVL 16 Berserker
Has battle quips with: Cai, Shiraha
Wounded Line: "I haven't played enough...  I guess I should save some for later..."
Notes: A loud mouthed, dim-witted, knuckle-dragging heavy drinker.  But one hell of a powerful character.  A true barbarian, he considers anyone fair game for his verbal haranguing. 

 
IRIA

Age: 18
Starts as: LVL 20 Valkyrie
Has battle quips with: Escalados, Lyonesse, Halley
Wounded Line: "........."
Notes: Her past is shrouded in mystery - only she and Dryst know the truth.  She feels she owes her life to Dryst, thus she will without question live or die at his behest.  Due to extreme physical and mental trauma in her past, she no longer has what can be considered emotions.

 
GALLO

Age: 21
Starts as: LVL 9 Ranger
Has battle quips with: Nobody
Wounded Line: "Whoops!  I made a mistake!"
Notes: A former traveling performer who traveled to Iscalio after hearing of Dryst's reputation for always having a good time (or, at the very least, interesting!)  The Ranger and Grappler classes are the two I use least in the game.  Maybe it's just me, but I don't find them interesting or useful.

 
LUCIA

Age: 20
Starts as: LVL 8 Scout
Has battle quips with: Nobody
Wounded Line: "It's always like this for me."
Notes: If you pay attention to the Chara synopses in the game, you'll see an "Incident" mentioned.  Ever since this event, Lucia - who's known for her bright personality - has been depressed.  Send her on her special quest as soon as possible.  I happen to like Archers, and the benefits you get from her quest do make a difference.

 
VICTORIA

Age: 27
Starts as: LVL 11 Sorceress
Has battle quips with: Cierra
Wounded Line: "I'm so generous that I’m letting you win this battle."
Notes: Power hungry and vain, her legendary beauty is only outmatched by her quick temper.  She's drawn to men of power.  Despite all this, there's a human heart deep down inside.

 
TEATH

Age: 16
Starts as: LVL 2 Knight
Has battle quips with: Nobody
Wounded Line: "Damn it!  I was so close."
Notes: apparently a troubled youth who somehow became a knight (though in Iscalio I don't imagine it's that hard).  One day he met Hula and fell in (unrequited) love.  He strives to better himself as a person and knight to earn Hula's love.  Quest knights like Schutleis and Cortina are way better then a LVL 2 fighter, so I only use him to go on quests.  Perhaps using him would be worthwhile if there was an interesting or at least cute scene if you level him up past a certain point - but don't bother.

 
MIGUEL

Age: 26
Starts as: LVL 10 Cavalier
Has battle quips with: His family
Wounded Line: "Am I really this incompetent?"
Notes: As the eldest son of the Rand family, he's probably the one responsible for the loopy plan to maintain the Rand family name.

 
DAFFY

Age: 31
Starts as: LVL 12 Samurai
Has battle quips with: Lance
Wounded Line: "Am I defeated?  No, that's impossible!"
Notes: Daffy works for money only, even though there is no currency used in the game.  He's a quiet, uninteresting guy.  Send him questing, and you might just get the one where the quested knight gets turned into a duck.

 
HULA

Age: 15
Starts as: LVL 1 Cleric
Has battle quips with: Nobody
Wounded Line: "...Ouch.  I must go back...My lord is waiting."
Notes: Another character to who Dryst has shown kindness in his own strange way.  She feels indebted to him, thus acts as a manner of servant to him.  Perhaps it's her innocence and naivete that drew her to idolize him over a simple event in her childhood - or perhaps she can see something in him most others can't.  Nevertheless, she starts off at such a low level that I rarely wind up using her in battle.

Also, her name in the Japanese version is "Yura"
