- Algus Sadalfas Show Images
- A snotty cadet who's rescued by Ramza and Delita, on his way to Igros to inform Dycedarg of the kidnapping of Marquis Elmdor. His family used to be aristocratic, but a story which leaked out regarding Algus's grandfather during the Fifty Year War (he betrayed his friends to save himself, but was stabbed in the back by a Hokuten Cadet before he went free) caused the Sadalfas family to lose their class. Perhaps because of his tenuous cling to his status, he hates all commoners intensely, to the point where he believes them to be only animals. He has a vendetta against the anti-aristocratic Death Corps and eventually kills Teta through his disregard of lower classes. Delita avenges her soon after.
- Alma Beoulve Show Images
- Ramza's sister is closest to him out of her brothers; they share the same mother as well as Balbanes as their father. Alma attends the Aristocratic School in Igros with Teta.

- A magician sent by the Glabados Church; firstly, to help Delita with his goals, and secondly, to spy on him. If Delita's ambitions turned against the Church (as they ultimately did) she was to kill him. However, she found herself falling for him, and could not raise the blade to strike.

During the Fifty Year War, he headed a band of assassins called Ryomoku; Malak and Rafa were the strongest members of the group.

- Cloud Strife [HERO] Show Images
- The very dedicated hero of FF7 (although to what, he's not always entirely sure). He sports a wacked hairdo and a purple SOLDIER outfit. He likes using big swords. He starts out being kind of a loner, but for some reason all the ladies find him sexy and he comes out of his shell a bit. He's bent on a) destroying Sephiroth and b) finding out just who the hell he is. He makes a surprise appearance as a playable character in Tactics, after finishing a complicated optional sequence of events. (See also Character:FF7)
- Daravon, Bordam Show Images
- The elder teacher at the Gariland Military Academy. His short lectures are praised for their clarity, but his long ones are feared for their, well, length. He achieved the status of "Leading Knight" but has only been in one battle and can't really fight by himself. (Some of his lectures have proved so boring that one of the Mediator's abilities, which puts a monster to sleep, is "Mimic Daravon".)
- Delita Hyral [HERO/VILLAIN] Show Images
- (Aliases: Delita Hyral (NA), Delita Heiral (JP)) Born to a poor farmer on a fief on the Balbanes' land, Delita became friends with Ramza. Balbanes appointed Delita to be Ramza's assistant and used his pull to get him into the Gariland Military Academy. Delita is very close to his sister Teta, and her death by Algus's hand sends him into a smoldering rage. Delita's low rank continually irks him, especially from the jibes Algus gives him; after Teta's death, something snaps in him and he vows never to be manipulated again. He's extremely crafty and clever, and ends up using everyone and everything for his own will. He assassinates Goltana and blames it on Orlandu; his ingratiation to anyone currently in power eventually gains him the title of Holy Knight, then leadership of the Nanten Knights, then the throne. He harbors true feelings for Ovelia, however. Although he does not agree with the Glabados Church, his goals nevertheless coincide with theirs for a time.
- Denamunda Atkascha, King Show Images
- The king of Ivalice declared war on Ordalia because of the complaints of the province of Zelamonia, which began the Fifty Year War. He fell ill while Ivalice's army marched on Ordalia's capital, Bura, and died. His son, Denamunda II, took over. He also died towards the end of the war, leaving his son Omdolia, who was unfit to rule, in charge of the throne. Omdolia's weakness forced Ivalice to surrender to Ordalia. Denamunda's daughter was Ovelia.

- Balbanes' eldest son gave up the position of leader of the Hokuten Knights by Balbanes' request, giving it to his younger brother Zalbag. After Balbanes' death, Dycedarg becomes leader of Igros Castle. A harsh man, his greed eventually seals his pact with Rofel representing the demonic Lucavi army of Zodiac Braves and associates with Adramelk. As it later turns out, Dycedarg was the one who poisoned his own father.
- Elidibs Show Images
- In the Fifty Year War, he was one of Ivalice's greatest sorcerers and fought against the Romandan army.

- Omdolia Atkascha, King Show Images
- The ruler of Ivalice is a weak-willed man and completely unfit to rule. All the real decisions are carried out by his wife, Ruvelia. He's the son of King Denamunda II.

- Ramza Beoulve [HERO] Show Images
- The youngest son of Balbanes, he comes from a different mother than Zalbag and Dycedarg. He's very close with his sister Alma. He's the hero of the game, who travels from place to place righting as many wrongs as he can. After the apparent death of his close friend Delita at Fort Zeakden, he changes his last name to Ruglia and joins Gafgarion's mercenary troupe, in the hopes of starting a new life. By and large, he's ignored by historians and by the Murond Glabados Church, who try to hush up the shameful behavior they exhibited in trying to resurrect St. Ajora. His final destiny, along with Alma's, is murky at best.

When Omdolia dies, she decides that her own son, Orinas, should eventually rule; she supports her brother Larg's claim to the throne in the hopes that when Larg passes on, Orinas will take over.

- St. Ajora Glabados Show Images
- A Jesus-like character who lived 1200 years before the game takes place. He lived in Bervenia Free City, in Lesalia; raised in Milodos. The then-church, Fara, began to feel some antipathy towards him (which was returned) when he began to prophesize about a new kingdom taking hold. He was executed by the Holy Empire of Yudora at the Golgorand Execution Site, but soon afterwards, the Fara Church capital was submerged in the sea by a seemingly natural phenomenon and disappeared. Many people took this to be a miracle and the Glabados Church was formed. (The true Ajora was a spy who seeded rebellion; the Yudora Empire executed him partly for those crimes.)

When that finally happens, he turns into the Lucavi, Altima.
