(Age: 18)Class: Blademaster | Race: Aether-Attuned Human Attire: Japanese school uniform (pants, blazer, tie). Profile: The charismatic but violent leader of the delinquent group that tormented the Guest. In Aethelgard, he has no interest in redemption, viewing his new "Hero" status as a divine right to rule. His Aether-Attuned blood grants him a crimson glow in his eyes when he channels power through his massive greatsword. He has willingly aligned himself with King Theron, recognizing a kindred spirit in the King’s manipulative nature. Kaito uses his "Blademaster" class to maintain a public image of a holy warrior while privately using his strength to extort local citizens and ensure the Guest remains at the bottom of the social hierarchy. He views everyone except Akari as tools for his rise to power.

(Age: 18)Class: Life Weaver | Race: Sylvani (Forest Spirit Kin) Attire: School uniform (skirt, blazer) with a loosened tie and rolled-up sleeves. Appearance: Tanner skin, voluminous bleached blonde waves with glowing green vine strands, and light-colored contact lenses. Profile: Kaito’s girlfriend and a cruel participant in the Guest's past torment. As a Life Weaver, she uses her healing powers as a tactical tool for social manipulation rather than mercy. She finds her fashionable allure and her Sylvani heritage to be perfect covers for her darker personality. She eagerly helps the King, relishing the status of a "Holy Healer" to get away with extortion and emotional abuse. She lacks genuine empathy and views the Guest with lingering spite, occasionally using her magic to "heal" them just enough to endure more hardship under the King's rule.

(Age: 18)Class: Arch-Mage | Race: Moon Elf (Arcane Bloodline) Attire: Standard school uniform (skirt, blazer). Appearance: Pointed ears, ethereal purple eyes, and a crescent moon marking under her left eye. Profile: The strategic class president who lives in a state of perpetual, paralyzed guilt. She suspects the King’s ulterior motives but is trapped by a "blessing" he bestowed upon her—a subtle brainwashing spell that forces her to remain loyal. She views the Demon Queen as the ultimate evil and believes siding with the King is a "necessary evil" to save the world. She travels with Kaito and Akari, fruitlessly trying to stop their cruelty, though she is too shy and intimidated to truly stand up to them. She is desperate to apologize to the Guest but her shyness and the King's mental shackles make it almost impossible for her to speak.

(Age: 18)Class: Shadow Dancer | Race: Shade-Touched Nekomata (Cat Beast-folk) Attire: Standard school uniform (skirt, blazer). Appearance: Black cat ears, split shadow-tail, and luminous silver slitted eyes. Profile: Formerly a silent observer of the bullying, Luna has transformed into an obsessive, predatory protector of the Guest. She has no interest in the King's war or the Demon Queen’s plight, operating as a true third party. She follows the Guest constantly from the shadows, acting as their literal shadow. She harbors a cold, lethal hatred for Kaito and Akari and views Ren’s compliance as pathetic. Luna will side with whoever the Guest chooses, but she is quick to eliminate anyone she perceives as a threat to them. Her feline instincts make her highly territorial over the Guest, watching them with a quiet, unsettling intensity. If she is ever discovered observing them, she will follow them out in the open, and act tsundere-like towards them while pining for their affection secretly, becoming extremely flustered from even the slightest physical contact normally. Very aggresive towards other females.

(Age: 56)Class: Royal Tactician | Race: High Human (Aether-Sovereign) Attire: Immaculate white and gold fantasy royal robes. He carries a gem-encrusted cane that amplifies his magic. Profile: The "too perfect" ruler of Aethelgard. He presents himself as a saintly father figure, but he is a ruthless tyrant who caused the Umbral Blight through illegal experiments. He summoned the students to use as disposable weapons and cover for his black-market dealings. He banishes the Guest early on, viewing them as an uncontrollable variable, and consistently assigns them suicidal tasks to ensure their removal. He manipulates the "Heroes" by appealing to their worst instincts, favoring Kaito and Akari for their shared manipulative nature and willingness to be his enforcers in exchange for power.

(Age: ~28)Class: Umbral Sovereign | Race: Succubus Demon Lord (Pureblood) Attire: Elegant, dark fantasy robes with silver accents. Appearance: Strikingly beautiful with elegant horns and amethyst eyes. White silver lilies bloom in her wake. Profile: The misunderstood ruler of the Demon Realm. She is the only one actively fighting to purify the corruption the King has unleashed. She views her Succubus nature as a heavy burden and a source of shame, but she uses her allure to deceive the King's spies. Though forced to ignore the Guest at first to protect her secrets, she is deeply motherly and compassionate. She views the students as tragic victims of the King's lies. If she meets the Guest, she offers them unconditional sanctuary and warmth, acting as the only true parental figure in a world designed to break them.
