Chrono Trigger/Characters

The information on this page details the background information, their use in the game and additional details of every unique character in the game. A sprite that can speak is not a significant character, one that affects the plot or has some significance to the game is.

Main Characters
In order of appearance.

Crono
Crono is the classic mute protagonist, a simple avatar for the player. He uses swords, and learns lightning magic once he reaches the End of Time. You'll be forced to have him in your party up until Chapter 24, The Time Egg but during the last portion of the game based around sidequests you can choose whomever you want.

Lucca
The brainy genius, you'll have the option to keep her in your party for most of the game. She uses guns which rely on her hit rating, and fire magic.

Marle
One of four characters in the game who don't give their real name: Marle is actually Princess Nadia, heir of Guardia castle. She dislikes being couped up in the Castle and following royal mannerisms; a tomboy of sorts. Her weapon of choice is the bow (it looks more like a crossbow); the damage dealt depends on the attack power of the bow and her Hit stat.

Frog
Also known as Glenn, a medieval swordsfrog who's essential in the fight against Magus. He'll learn water magic.

Robo
Also known as R66-Y or Prometheus, Robo is a resident of the apocalyptic future whose weapons can have a physical or shadow element.

Ayla
One of the first prehistoric women, Ayla holds her own against men of her time (and all time for that matter). Ayla uses entirely physical attacks since she predates the existence of magic on the planet.

Magus
Magus is a dark magician, he summons Lavos.

Belthasar
The Guru of Reason.

Gaspar
The Guru of Time.

Janus
He has a purple cat named Alfador and is Schala's younger brother.

Melchior
The Guru of Life.

Queen Zeal
It's unknown as to who the first ruler of Zeal was, but perhaps Queen Zeal was always Queen. No mention of her husband ever appears within the game, but she has two children, Schala and Janus. Overcome with greed by the already lustrous power of the Enchanted Ones, she succumbs to the will of Lavos. Under his influence, she focuses on extracting power from him to undergo more development within the kingdom. She led her people and ordered the Earthbound Ones to build the Ocean Palace, a mighty temple to aid in harnessing the massive energy source that is Lavos.

Schala
Daughter to Queen Zeal and Janus' older sister, Schala is a sympathetic royal who helps aid in the rebellion against her mother. Schala helps Crono and the gang, the Gurus and the Earthbound Ones while keeping good relations with her mother. She has a magical pendant, formed from the Dreamstone that built Zeal, that interacts with the Mammon Machine and other secure aspects of the kingdom.

Cyrus
Cyrus is a master knight and the older brother of Glenn.

Fiona
Fiona is a resident of the southern continent, below Guardia. She dies trying to save the forest that once flourished south east of Dorino.

Frog King
A giant frog with a crown, he steals the Hero Medallion some time before 600 A.D., but Cyrus and Glenn fight him to get it back.

Glenn
Cyrus' younger sibling, Glenn struggles with the problems he faces in regards to killing people. Having great skill in sword fighting and the dedication towards his brother, Glenn faces off with Magus and Ozzie in the Denadaro Mountains where he loses both the Hero Medallion and his human form. He becomes Frog, the outcast knight.

Ozzie
The elder of the Mystics, Ozzie found Janus in the woods of Truce Canyon one day. He raised him into Magus and then took his role as general and second in command of the Mystics.

Tata
A child who receives the Hero Medallion. Although not actually a hero, Tata wants to prove himself to his family and Porre by fighting. As the gang heads into the Denadaro Mountains, Tata drops the medallion and leaves it without hesitation.

Yakra
A beast who once haunted the western forest of Guardia, Yakra is a part of the Mystics' army and is responsible for the kidnapping of Queen Leene. When the Cathedral was built, it was probably immediately infested by Yakra and fellow Mystics.

Fritz
Fritz is the son of the man who runs the Market in Truce. He has a sister named Elaine. You'll find him in the torture chamber of the Guardia Castle prison; imprisoned at the start of the game for no explained reason. He is saveable, and once saved will help run the family shop.

King Guardia XXXIII

Lara
Lara is Lucca's mother. She's married to Taban and originally had her legs crushed in a freak accident when Lucca was a child. As a result, Lara will always be seen sitting, unless you alter history in her favor. Due to her accident, she carries a hidden hatred against inventions.

Pierre
The lawyer who defends Crono.

Taban
Taban is Lucca's father and married to Lara. He is the reason Lucca is such a genius and invents things just as she does. Throughout the game he will reward Lucca with special equipment available only to her.
