The protagonist Wilhelm

A new knight of the Royal Guard. He is a prodigy in combat and can use a wide variety of weapons with expertise. In order to assist his father, a weapons craftsman, he experiments with the prototypes.

Secret: He has the nickname ``Corpse Killer'' who slashes corpses. That's why I don't want Tofaf to hate me.

Topherf

A true alchemical genius. Has great longevity due to the alchemical creation of her body and the transfer of her soul. She loves fashion and changes her appearance and gender according to her mood that day. As a person who deals with souls, she judges others by the character and personality of their souls. She is cheerful, friendly, and popular.

Secret: He is afraid of being hated, so he hides his "natural appearance". He is indebted to Wilhelm.

Schatten

A human with Phoenix ancestry, he has been reborn as a Phoenix. He has a preference for blonds, regardless of gender. He is descended from the Black Phoenix of Foresight and has the ability to see the future through dreams and visions. His relationship with Licht is more familial than romantic.

The Phoenix Kingdom

The Phoenix Clan once defeated the Serpent Clan in war, then founded a kingdom. Humans and the Phoenix Clan were both present during the foundation, and so descent from the Phoenix Clan is considered a sign of true citizenship. The most famous line of descent is that of the Ebony Phoenix, which is the foundation of the Weiss royal family. As the Phoenix Clan is said to prefer free movement and does not value ties to land, it is said that clan that founded the Phoenix Kingdom left soon after the foundation.

It has been officially announced that there are no members of the Phoenix Clan currently in the kingdom.

Corpse Killer

A rumored figure based on an old urban legend in the Phoenix Kingdom. It is said to have originated in the West Branch of the Royal Guard, which is equipped with a large morgue. There, weapons can be tested on corpses with the permission of the government.

The story began with the appearance of a mercenary called the ""Corpse Killer"".

Prohibition against necromancy
