Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories/Special characters

Special Classes, also called "Story Characters" or "Named Characters", are made up of unique, one-of-a-kind characters obtained through the storyline or through secret events. These classes cannot be renamed or deleted, and include both humanoid and monster-type characters. While all special classes only have one tier, most fall along the lines of a tier 4 or tier 5 generic class in terms of aptitude and base stats.

Special classes (except Adell and Rozalin) will be lost after beginning a new cycle, but can regained again in the current cycle. After lost characters are regained, they will have the same stats and equipment as when you last saw them.
