Rage of Bahamut — Characters & Cast
Character Analysis
Favaro Leone
Not specified in research
Motivation
Self-preservation and bounty payouts → Protecting Amira and fulfilling an unspoken oath → Preserving cosmic harmony and nurturing the next generation.
Character Arc
Favaro begins Genesis as a deceitful, self-absorbed bounty hunter who values only coin and tavern drinks. Through his journey with Amira, his veneer of cynicism cracks, culminating in a willingness to sacrifice his foot, his happiness, and his heart to save the realm. By Virgin Soul, set a decade later, Favaro reappears as a seasoned, peg-legged master-swordsman and philosophical mentor to Nina Drango, maintaining his trademark roguish grin while carrying the sorrow of his past.
Kaisar Lidfard
Go Inoue
Motivation
Avenging paternal dishonor → Upholding justice against demonic machinations → Mediating peaceful coexistence among humans, demons, and gods.
Character Arc
Introduced as a ruined noble obsessed with hunting Favaro to avenge his family’s downfall, Kaisar's comedic tunnel-vision yields to genuine chivalric heroism. Over time, he makes peace with Favaro, willingly sacrificing his left arm during the final battle of Genesis. In Virgin Soul, elevated to Knight Commander of the Orleans Knights, he endures a crushing dilemma: serving a tyrannical human king whose anti-god agenda he questions, while attempting to shield enslaved demons from slaughter, embodying the tragic weight of maintaining nobility in a corrupt system.
Amira
Risa Shimizu
Motivation
Finding her mother in Helheim → Protecting Favaro → Self-sacrifice to avert total global extinction.
Character Arc
In Genesis, Amira appears as a mysterious one-winged figure who stole the God Key from the heavens. Despite possessing catastrophic power, she mentally behaves like a sheltered five-year-old yearning to reach Helheim to reunite with her mother. Her devastating realization that her memories are an engineered lie by the demon Belial/Martinet marks the peak of her tragedy. Ultimately, she chooses to accept her grim fate to seal Bahamut, immortalized by a final romantic kiss shared with Favaro before dissolving.

Earning money for her village and experiencing city romance → Protecting the demon rebel Mugaro and Azazel → Reclaiming Charioce’s humanity and stopping Bahamut.
Character Arc
Introduced in Virgin Soul, Nina is a teenage migrant worker from a clan of dragon-folk who transforms uncontrollably into the legendary Red Dragon upon getting heart-struck by attractive men. Her lighthearted romance with the disguised King Charioce forces her to confront the grim realities of state terror, racial oppression, and the burden of duty. Her journey matures her from a naive village girl into a decisive champion who bridges the mortal and draconic worlds.
King Charioce XVII (Chris)
Kaito Ishikawa
Motivation
Complete independence for humanity via military dominance → Slaying Bahamut at any moral cost → Repenting and sharing a silent, post-war life with Nina.
Character Arc
Charioce spends Virgin Soul acting as an uncompromising tyrant who enslaves demonkind, plunders the gods' holy sanctuary, and rules through terror to construct the superweapon Dromos. Undercover as the commoner 'Chris,' he experiences genuine connection with Nina. Revealed to be motivated by a resolve to destroy Bahamut permanently and free humanity from eternal divine peril, he pays for his victory with his eyesight, concluding the war stripped of his regal aura to live alongside Nina.
