Saul
The borderlands platoon leader who protects the Rhenus River fortress near the western border of the Empire. He has worked his way up from an ordinary civilian and accrued plenty of battle experiences. His platoon also places a lot of trust in him.
In order to protect the peace in the frontier, Saul does not skip a day in patrolling the border. He originally hails from Lusitania, located in the western regions of the Empire, but has battled in the eastern frontier when he was young.
Due to his extended stay in the frontier, Saul's crude use of language stands out, but his overwhelming might is feared even by the tribes.
Charis
A girl acknowledged as a temple priestess. She serves the head priest Hamil and the goddess Tarte. Charis may be a bit young, but knows exactly what needs to be done, whether it be running errands for Hamil or cleaning the temple in the village.
Ever since Tarte descended upon the world, Charis has served as her handmaiden. With a bright and lively personality, she looks up to Hamil and Tarte as older siblings.
Izebel
Acting governor of Hispania, and commander of the Imperial Army of the western border.
Izebel was one of the closest subordinates of the previous governor (Hamil's father), but as soon as she learned about plans of rebellion, she switched allegiance to the Empire, which led to his death. She was awarded with authority equal to the province's governor and now rules over Hispania.
Though she has a memorable, voluptuous smile and behaves like everyone's best friend, she is cunning and cold-blooded. Izebel becomes a fearsome enemy in battle.
Aemilia
An engineering bureaucrat who was around at the birth of the Divine Empire. Aemilia has directed construction and transportation in the old Empire, and is also well-acquainted with finances.
Aemilia firmly believes in three things: that she is a genius, that technology can solve any problem in the world, and that advancement in technology is the best means to lead humanity to happiness. She's a workaholic and favors efficiency, even dressing like a man in order to increase her mobility in the Empire.
As the old Empire shifted to theocracy, the engineering bureaucrats - many of whom share the same beliefs as her - have strayed away from the Divine Empire.
Laelius
An Imperial knight in Izebel's council of advisors. Laelius was born into a family of knights and vows absolute loyalty to the Empire. He still holds onto the antiquated mindset of chivalry and is unyielding in his belief, but that stubborn quality of his earns him the trust of the Imperial Army.
He looks up to Izebel and believes that the Imperial moral code and way of life lie with her. Laelius's wish for order and stability in the Empire is second to none, so he cannot forgive the rebellion in Hispania. He will mercilessly punish anyone who betrays the Empire.
Hamil
The sole survivor of Hispania's royal bloodline. A reserved and kind boy. His father, an Imperial noble and governor of the province, was killed seven years ago for the crime of plotting a rebellion. As the son of a traitor, Hamil has lived under the Empire's watch ever since.
In order to overthrow the Empire, Hamil lives under the guise of a weak and cowardly boy, but in truth, he is a composed tactician. He has inherited his father's will and is waiting for an opportunity to destroy the Empire and earn Hispania's independence. His secret, furtive desires summon Tarte.
Tarte
A girl from the spirit world. The goddess of prosperity and war who has been worshipped since ancient times. Though called a deity, she is in truth a daughter of the elf tribe, who walked the earth before mankind.
She may sometimes be arrogant for a goddess, but is compassionate and direct. Every day, she wishes to become a wise and benevolent goddess who teaches and guides mankind. She has been with Hamil's family for ages and, in accordance with his wishes, decides to help fight against the Empire.
Due to her lengthy stay in the spirit world, she has strong aspirations for the earth and is full of curiosity.
Kleito
The caretaker of the fortress-city of Tartessos. Despite her appearance, Kleito isn't human, but a daughter of the strongest and wisest of all ancient beings: the dragon tribe. The few who know her true identity address her as the dragon god.
Although she tends to keep quiet, she is intellectual and excels as a caretaker. And though she is well-versed in ancient folklore, she does not speak about the secrets of the dragons.
Monomachus
A martial-arts instructor of a vocational school. As Enneads's aid, Monomachus teaches the village children. When he was younger, he was known as the strongest warrior in Hispania, and even after he retired from the battlefield, he served as an advisor to the late governor.
Monomachus values earnest fortitude and valor, and often favors military action.
Daphnis
A former slave who works as Elissa's servant. Daphnis was bought by Elissa's family at an early age and freed, and now willfully waits upon Elissa. As her bodyguard, he dresses as a girl in order to follow Elissa wherever she goes.
Although indecisive and timid, Daphnis shadows Elissa-who often finds herself in dangerous situations due to her personality-and assists her in whatever way he can.
