List of Last Exile characters
[10] Claus Valca (クラウス・ヴァルカ, Kurausu Varuka) is a fifteen-year-old pilot employed by the Norkia Vanship Union, a sky courier service for the nation of Anatoray.
Al is revealed to be member of the Guild House of Hamilton which has the ability to control Exile and unlocking it by knowing the answers to the questions that form the four Mysteria (see below).
After they entered the domain, Al and Claus got to the other side of the Grand Stream, she finished reciting the poem that would unlock Exile's true form.
The Mysteria, in their correct order of recitation, and their responses are:[12] The majority of the events in Last Exile occurred on the fictional lone aerial battleship and aircraft carrier Silvana (シルヴァーナ, Shiruvāna).
Anatoray Prime Minister Marius Bassianus likened Disith to a "wounded lion" after its lands fell into a deep freeze due to climate changes.
In the series, he is portrayed as emotionally distant from the other characters, including his first officer, who resembles his deceased fiancée Euris Bassianus (ユーリス・バシアヌス, Yūrisu Bashianusu).
Another graduate of the Anatoray Officer's Academy along with Vincent Alzey, she is one of the few people Alex Row trusts and is often seen left in command of the ship when the Captain is out in pursuit of his own agenda.
Her frosty aloofness is clearly a self-defensive façade; she suffers a mental breakdown of sorts after getting shot down over the desert, but recovers, and from that time she begins to show a greater depth of feeling, especially towards Claus, whom she develops a crush on.
Mullin Shetland (モラン・シェトランド, Moran Shetorando) is a nineteen-year-old[citation needed] rifleman on the battleship Claihm Solais, which is the flagship of the Anatoray fleet.
Around the end he leaves the Silvana to train again as a rifleman in a secret joint operation to take back the battleships' Claudia engines and free the world of the Guild.
She appeared for the first time as one of the members of a small Disith patrol that captured Tatiana Wisla and Claus Valca while they were trying to reach into one of Silvana emergency resorts.
When Alex orders the Silvana to attack Delphine's ship at Sophia's coronation ceremony, Campbell refuses to obey on grounds that it will risk endangering the Empress and other military commanders below.
Fifty-two-year-old Prime Minister Marius Bassianus (マリウス・バシアヌス, Mariusu Bashianusu) is a member of one of three Guild houses purged by Delphine Eraclea who was taken under the protection of the Anatoray royal family.
He is portrayed as an optimistic character who wishes for peace, once believing "[t]here is hope yet for the world's survival" after meeting Disith commander Nestor Messina.
He is provided with the opportunity to seek revenge for the "unnecessary" death of his son when Alex makes an appearance at the Horizon Cave black market auction.
After Sophia assumes the throne of Anatoray, she goes to parley with Nestor in hopes of forming an alliance and reveals to him the proposed peace treaty to Disith that was lost ten years earlier.
[23] Nestor is well respected by his Anatoray counterparts, especially by Duke David Mad-thane, because he "seems to understand the meaning of chivalry" and is unwilling to sacrifice his men in a meaningless battle.
[32] His name was derived from the actual historical figure Hamilcar Barca, Carthaginian general during the First Punic War and father of the famous tactician Hannibal.
When the Silvana arrives for repairs from its battle against Guild fighters, Walker provides a tip to Alex Row on the Exile artifact being sold in auction at Horizon Cave.
In addition, there is a scene depicted in the series' official artwork showing Claus, Lavie, and their friends living on the farm turning and smiling at an individual.
[35] In the Last Exile Aerial Log artbook, notes by the creators revealed that Dio survived after being rescued by a passing Guild ship and later joining Claus, Lavie, and their friends journey to Earth.
Maestro Delphine Eraclea (デルフィーネ・エラクレア, Derufīne Erakurea) is the series' main antagonist, Dio's twenty-four-year-old older sister, and head of the Guild.
Twenty-three-year-old Ephemera (エフェメラ, Efemera), twenty-six-year-old Allomyrina (アロミリナ, Aromirina), twenty-eight-year-old Phalaena (ファラエナ, Faraena), and twenty-seven-year-old Dorcus (ドルクス, Dorukusu) are her other agents and a part of the Scutum.
[Note 6] They target minor vessels and prosper on an isolated location, until one day they take off for a mission that will change their lives forever when they get involved in the war against the Ades Federation.
Millia and her older sister Liliana have taken on the task of ruling the kingdom despite their young ages due to the illness of their father, the King of Turan.
She was also the assistant pilot for Fam, once for taking her sister Liliana's cup; and again for successfully scuttling the Ades Federation battleship Anshar, which they later restored.
Farahnāz was well loved and a kind leader who treated her Guild bodyguards, Luscinia and Alauda, like her own sons whom she also shared her dreams of peace with them.
Her death led to a huge impact on everyone who knew her, especially Luscinia, who started to hate the Exiles and later becoming the Ades Federation Premier where he wants to fulfill Farahnāz's late dream of uniting the people of Earth by force by leading a war of conquest.
[40] Murata has also released several self-published art books, under the collective title of SPHERES, containing additional character and design sketches used in Last Exile promotional posters.
[41] Seven promotional busts were made by Alter, a Japanese figure company, in 2006 depicting Claus, Lavie, Alvis, Tatiana, Alex, Dio and Lucciola as chess pieces.
