Valkyria Chronicles Characters List
Main Characters
-
Selvaria Bles
A proud, noble, yet distant woman of twenty-two years who serves Maximilian with absolute loyalty as a part of the Drei Stern. The blood of the legendary Valkyria flows in her veins, granting her superhuman powers in battle when she wields a special ragnite spear and shield.
At a young age she was held at an Imperial research facility, used as a test subject in their experiments until Maximilian rescued her. In the anime, it is revealed that Maximilian named Selvaria after a blue flower of the same name.
-
Alicia Melchiott
A young lady who is one day hoping to become a baker. She served as a team captain of the Bruhl Town Watch and was called for duty after the invasion, being posted to Squad 7 like Welkin. From her previous experience, she will serve as one of the scouts.
She is extremely reliable, full of righteousness and loves taking care of others. At first, she is perplexed by Welkin’s personality, but soon learns what is special about his gentle ways.
-
Brigitte "Rosie" Stark
Corporal, age 27. Squad 7 shocktrooper. Formerly a bartender and songstress, she still bears the nickname "Rosie," given to her by the bar-going regulars.
Despite her education (and with it her military training) ending at a middle-school level, experience with her town watch earned her the rank of Corporal.
Her hobbies include cards, which she picked up while working her bar job. She often played Faldio, winning ten games to his five.
-
Isara Gunther
She was adopted by her late father’s friend, General Gunther, making her the younger sister of Welkin. Due to her Darcsen decent, a group of people who are openly discriminated in Europa, dealing with prejudice is part of her life.
Taking to engineering in her father’s footsteps, she earned several credentials before enlisting in the Army. She plays a dual role as the squad’s tank pilot and mechanic.
-
Largo Potter
Sergeant, age 36. Squad 7 lancer. Since his initial conscription during EW1, he has survived countless missions, making him the most experienced of the 7's. Believing that frontline experience is everything, he has consistently rejected all offers of promotion and continued his career as a foot soldier.
Reprimanded for the unlicensed planting of vegetables on army property, though the fruits of his labor earned accolades from foodies across the base.
He enlisted at the same time as Eleanor Varrot, and the two were posted in the same squad. Their vastly divergent views soon had them engaging in epic quarrels. Largo's heartfelt promise to stand by Varrot and protect her for all time was enough to thaw her frozen heart, warped by two decades spent seeking vengeance.
-
Welkin Gunther
The son of a great war hero from the First Europan War (E.W.I). He was a university student who was immediately drafted after the Imperial invasion to serve his nation as lieutenant of Squad 7. As a commander, he rides the "Edelweiss," a highly mobile tank created by his late father.
He majored in Animal Sociology while attending university and loves observing animal and plant life and discovering different insects. From his unique interests, he often finds the most unconventional tactics (such as using trails left by animals) to stop the Imperial forces.
He is peaceful and carefree by nature. Other than his love for nature, he can be somewhat oblivious to his surroundings.
-
Maximilian Gaius Von Reginrave
An Imperial prince and the Commander-in-Chief who leads the Empire’s troops to Gallia. He is an ambitious and charismatic character who has a high level of trust from all of his subordinates. He is a gifted and sound commander with excellent strategic insight, worthy of his rank.

Berthold Gregor
Major General, age 51. Member of the Triumviri under Maximilian's direct command and a leader of the Empire's invasion of Gallia.

Current heiress to the Randgriz line of Archdukes who rule Gallia. She stands as a figurehead of the nation and scion of the legendary Valkyrur.

Since Maurits von Borg was appointed as her regent, she has concealed most of her feelings and thoughts to herself.
-

Zaka experienced much of the same discrimination that most Darcsens faced throughout the continent and has grown to be resilient to such racial attacks.
Since he worked in a factory from an early age, his knowledge of machinery is considerable. He also has combat experience as a tank operator, and is now appointed as the Tank Commander of Squad 7 riding on the tank known as "Shamrock".
