That would make sense, I guess. But she still must have some loyalty to him or she'd be a constant threat to assassinate him in his sleep. What was her unique class btw?

'I'm probably ranking them too high because they were on my team for a while so I connected with them' Tier

Lady Agrias Oaks- Kind and loyal, the first thing we see of her is her reluctance to kill opposing soldiers. She has absolutely terrible political instincts- trusting Gafgarion, bringing Ovelia to Draclau and suggesting we ask the High Priest for help. Unlike Goltana though, her poor instincts are due to assuming everybody else is as honourable and loyal to the crown as her. Points to her for not having a moment's hesitation in trusting Ramza when she finds out his identity. She becomes silent after that but was a regular member of the team and I like to think she broadened her perspective afterwards, given that she has no problems later on attacking the church. She doesn't ever back down from a fight.

Mustadio Bunansa- A good guy, introduces the stones to the plot and most importantly a great party member. He and his father honestly fit the 'Cid' archetype more than the actual Cid. Gets to be friends with Ramza very fast, and successfully manages to trick Rudvich and by extension the Church. Some lighter comic moments in the sidequests too, it's just a shame characters turn silent once they join you.

Olan Durai- Smart guy. Thinks for himself and isn't just sitting around waiting for Ramza to solve the world's problems. Kind-hearted too. He reacts to events the way a reasonable person would, and the bond with his father is one of the few nice relationships that doesn't get broken in some way or other. Tries to go out on his own to help things out, but it doesn't always work out. Forgiving and willing to change his mind, it's no surprise he survives (until he gets burned at the stake apparently >_>)

10. Algus Sadalfas- Love how they use Algus. He's a show and tell for what this game will be like, starting off as a nice and grateful friend of Ramza's, and we are sympathetic to him as he's a lower-tier noble looking to restore his family's honour. Looking over the script now there's little hints of his disdain for commoners planted very early on, and of course that sprouts into absolute disgust and then murderous hatred. Ramza, Delita and Algus turn from three friends on an adventure to bitter entrenched enemies with views on the world that can't possibly be reconciled with one another over the course of a handful of missions. He's a dark reminder of what Ramza could've been if he didn't have Delita, and it's still easy to feel some kind of sympathy for him as he follows the orders of those he has been taught to see as superior. His death is as important as Teta's for the narrative, he's the first ally we lose and sets the tone for the game. A great character, imo.

9. Izlude Tingel- OK he might be a little high for how minor he is but I just like this dude. A fundamentally decent guy serving the wrong side, his reasons honestly make pretty good sense. Turns out he was right after all that the stones aren't evil, but his father unfortunately was. He shows care for Wiegraf when he has to leave him, and offers Ramza an alliance. The only blood he wants to spill is that of corrupt nobles, I think he could've been very successful if he was just in a different position. He would've served Delita well. His death is pretty brutal too, watching his father turn into a monster and kill him. Poor guy.

8. Dycedarg Beoulve- You could argue he's the main antagonist. A pretty amoral figure, he is nonetheless very smart and does manage to increase the Beoulve's reputation. Willing to betray anyone though offers Ramza forgiveness at one point, I get the sense he had a hard childhood himself and resents Ramza's for being so loving. He does so well for himself it's easy to forget he has no connection to the stones or greater plot at all, he gets as far as he does through his own intelligence and ambition. He doesn't even seem to dislike his brothers, he just can't comprehend why they don't see the world the way he does. He really does manipulate events awfully well, in a world without magic he may well have won.

7. Count Cidolfas 'T.G. 'Thundergod' Cid' Orlandu- A grizzled war veteran who actually wants to help people, he is more subtle than he first lets on and it turns out he and his son have been investigating things themselves for a while. He's pretty cautious but doesn't even consider betraying his Prince, and unfortunately is imprisoned and nearly killed because of his lack of self-preservation instinct. One of the few old guard who is still around, clearly respected as a warrior by all until politics takes over. It is only when he joins us that we see what a ******* monster he is on the field, he certainly lives up to his very grand title. Love his relationship with his adopted son, he clearly raised a good one. Again a shame he disappears from the narrative once joining us.
