Cid
The creator and owner of the world's only airship lives in Poft. He gives rides for overblown charges. Much later in the game, after an attack by Palamecia's Whirlwind, he gives the airplane to the heroes with his last breath.

Dark Knight
A general of Palamecia's army, he starts his road to the top by overseeing the building of the Empire's airship in Bafsk after Borghen is defeated; after that, he claims the throne once Emperor Palamecia has been killed once. However, who would ever guess that the true identity of the Dark Knight is (gasp!) Leon! (See also Leon, Jobs:Dark Knight)

(Aliases: Elina (NES), Elena (PSX)) A widow living in Castle Deist. Her husband was killed when the Empire raided the Deist. She also has a son, Kain.

Gareth
See Ricard Highwind.

Gordon [GUEST]
The cowardly prince of Kas'ion helps out from time to time, especially when his new girlfriend Queen Hilda (who used to date his brother Scott) is in danger. However, he's not much of a fighter. Scott was killed by the Palamecia Empire and he vows to get revenge however he can - although his lack of bravery unfortunately stops him from doing it in conventional ways. (See also Jobs:Knight)

Guy [HERO]
(Aliases: Guy (NES NA), Gus (PSX)) The large buddy of Firion, Maria, and Leon. A bit slower on the uptake (and speaks like a caveman), but that's about it. He can apparently also talk to beavers. (See also Jobs:Monk)

Hilda
The princess of Fynn - soon to be queen of Fynn when her ailing father dies - has relocated to Altair due to the pressures of the Palamecia Empire. Even her boyfriend Scott, prince of Kas'ion, can't do much to stem the tide - till the four heroes come! Scott dies early in the game and the role of boyfriend is (get this) taken over by his brother Gordon.

Leila [GUEST]
(Aliases: Leila (NES NA), Layla (NA), Reila (JP)) A pirate queen who lures the heroes on her ship with a promise to take them to Deist; however, she sics her buddies on them halfway through. They forgive her and she joins them; her speed and tact is useful in battle. She also lends them her ship, which is even more useful. She's very shrewd and can see through many illusions, both normal and magical. (See also Jobs:Leila)

Leon [GUEST]
(Aliases: Leon (NA), Lionheart (JP), Leonheart (JP)) Maria's lanky brother is the fourth and basically strongest of the four warriors. At the very beginning of the game, he's lost to the world, only to resurface as Palamecia's Dark Knight! After the spell on him is broken, he proves to be a valiant member of the team, but can never forgive himself for what he did while under Palamecia's control. (See also Dark Knight, Jobs:Dark Knight))

Light Emperor
(DoS only) The light side of Emperor Palamecia. After the Emperor was killed by Firion and his allies, he split into a Light Half and a Dark Half. The Dark Half fell into Hell, where he gained his power and became ruler of Pandaemonium, while the Light Half ascended to Arubboth, Palace of the Heavens, and became its ruler. He brought Minwu, Ricard, Josef, and Scott to the Heavens to ask for forgiveness from them for his Dark Half's actions.

Minwu [GUEST]
(Aliases: Ming-wu (JP NES), Mindu (PSX), Minh (JP)) A powerful sorcerer who works for Princess/Queen Hilda. He also tags along with the heroes for a bit to get some Mithril out of the Semitt Falls.

Nelly
(Aliases: Molly (PSX)) Josef's daughter is captured with Pavel and sent to work in the mithril mine in Semitt Falls. She's overjoyed to be rescued by them, but later is devastated by the news of her father's death in the Snow Cave.

Palamecia, Emperor [VILLAIN]
(Aliases: Palamecia (NA), Paramecia (NA), Paramekia (JP), Dark Emperor) Ah yes, the evil of evils, head of the super-evil empire. At first it seems like he wants to rule the world, but no! Of course he'll eventually want to destroy it. He signed a pact with Satan to allow him to come back after he's killed. In the JP-only novelization of the game, the Emperor is given the name Mateus.

(Aliases: Ricard Highwind (NA), Richard Highwind (JP NES), Gareth (PSX)) The last surviving Dragoon has been swallowed by Leviathan, the guardian of the Ultima spell.

The elder brother of Scott and prince of Kas'ion. He was to declare his undying love for Princess Hilda of Fynn, but an attack by the Palamecia Empire fatally wounded him.

His skills in white and black magic resemble a Red Mage.
