Main characters
Arslan392 fan favoritesExternal profileAge: 11, 14 (post time-skip) Birthday: May 23 Arslan is the prince of Pars, but is frequently misinterpreted by those around him as being a weakling, because of his effete appearance, naivete, compassion, and optimism. While these are true to a point, Arslan is also philosophical, intelligent, and charismatic, able to rally even the most apathetic of people to his cause. He is dedicated to his friends, especially Daryun, at one time threatening to kill an ally who had got Daryun into a particularly nasty situation. (Source: Wikipedia)
Daryun372 fan favoritesExternal profileFormerly a high-ranking military officer, Daryun is demoted from his position in the opening of the anime. His new mission is to protect and serve Arslan. Daryun and Arslan become close friends. In the style of samurai, Daryun is loyal to a fault, and at point tells Arslan that whatever his true origins may be, Daryun regards him as his prince. His fighting skills are so legendary that, at one point, Prince Rajendra praises him as the greatest warrior in both Pars and Shindra. (Source: Wikipedia)
Gieve215 fan favoritesExternal profileGieve is the only player who does not make a strong allegiance to any side in the various battles that take place. While he self-identifies as a musician, it would be more apt to say that Gieve is a rogue-of-all-trades. He is the most versatile fighter in the series, capable of using a sword, a bow, or a lance, and also claims that he can play any instrument in the world. In the OVA, Gieve is also known for breaking the fourth wall: when he is alone, he will address the audience and narrate his thoughts on what is going on in the story (though it could be said that he is merely talking because he loves the sound of his own voice).

Falangies69 fan favoritesExternal profileAloof, defiant, strong, and cool; Falangies is both a dedicated cleric to the goddess Misra, and the most-skilled female fighter on the planet. She maintains her mystique throughout the course of the story, so that little is known of her personally. According to her own account, she was the most beautiful, intelligent and capable member of her order; when a prediction was made that a servant of Misra must protect Prince Arslan, the other clerics selected her to go, out of jealousy.

Silver Mask57 fan favoritesExternal profileIn the beginning, all that is known about Silver Mask is his obsessive desire to torture and kill both Andragoras and Arslan. He is serving as the leader of the Lusitanian forces but is in fact a Parsian himself and soon commands a regiment of collaborators. He is so named because of the ornate silver helm he wears; it has large silver bull-horns attached to it, and completely obscures his face. (Source: Wikipedia)
Elam22 fan favoritesExternal profileA youth who feels indebted to Narsus for bringing his parents out of slavery. Elam intends to serve him with no intention of ever leaving his side. Cunning in his own way and good with a bow and arrow among other things, he occasionally acts as spy to gather useful information through various disguises. He faces something of a struggle with Alfreed for the affection of Narsus whom he shows to have more than just loyalty toward. (Source: Wikipedia)
