• Buddy (Rand) (ランド): A youth who lives in Weaver's Peak.

Captain Rusty/Blade

• Apnea (Shiela) (シェーラ): Queen of Somnia, mother of the Hero. She is has been cursed by Murdaw to endure eternal sleep in the Lower World, and has been transformed into the young king of Somnia in the Upper World. Due to spending such a long time in the Upper World, she has forgotten her original identity. She does recognize the Hero as her son, even before he has recovered his body. After Murdaw is defeated, her upper world appearance is that of her much younger self.
• Somnus/Reidock (レイドック): King of Somnia, father of the Hero. He is of late middle age in the Lower World, but retains his youth in the Upper World. He left to battle Murdaw at the monster's keep, but was defeated; Murdaw imprisoned him in sleep in the Lower World, and disguised him as Murdaw in the Upper World. Both of his curses are broken by the Ra's Mirror after Murdaw is defeated in combat. After the defeat of Murdaw, his Upper World form is a younger version of himself (the same as the form of Apnea at the beginning of the game), and adopts a somewhat unscrupulous lifestyle.
• Rusty/Blade (Tom/Soldi)(トム), (ソルディ): Captain of Somnia's Army in both worlds. He is the first to vouch that the Hero is the returned prince of Somnia, but is sentenced to 'fall on his sword' when the Hero cannot answer questions proving his claims, and is replaced by Franco. In the Upper World he has mysteriously vanished during the assault on Murdaw's castle; he later appears in the Gallows Moor, where he instigates a revolt among the imprisoned.
• Franco (フランコ): A soldier of Somnia in the Lower World. He later becomes the leader of the soldiers after the death of captain Rusty. He has served in the army since the Hero was young, and does not trust chancellor Keating.
• Keating/Geban (ゲバン): The chancellor of kingdom of Somnia in the Lower World. Since the King and Queen are asleep, he runs the city on his own, and is disliked by the citizens for his outrageous tax hikes. He has the hero thrown out of the castle for "impersonating" the Prince, and orders the death of Captain Rusty by way of sending him to the front lines. He himself was exiled from the kingdom after the king and Queen were awoken. In the Upper world he is a wealthy merchant and is imprisoned by the (Lower World) King after he is freed of Murdaw's curse. He does not remember his life in the Lower World.
• Madame Luca Luminista (Granmaaz) (グランマーズ): An old woman who lives south of Port Haven. As an oneiromancer, she is one of the few inhabitants of the Lower World who can see people from the Upper World. She was the one to help Milly recover her memories, and offers advice and guidance for the party throughout the game. In official illustrations, she is presented as looking like Baba from Dragon Ball.
• Mr. and Mrs. Calvet (カルベ夫妻): An old married couple in Sorceria. They made the Magic Carpet, and were Ashlynn's foster parents. Their neighbors think they are eccentric.
• Rubiss (ルビス): A goddess living in a palace on the seabed near Murdaw's castle. It was she who possessed Tania during the annual festival at Weaver's Peak, and initiated the Hero's journey. Her relationship (if any) with the Rubiss from the second and third games is unknown.
• King Zenith (ゼニス): The King who rules Castle Zenithia. He holds the key to accessing the Dread Realm.
• Isaac/Masarl (マサール) and Benjamin/Klimton (クリムト): Sibling sages with the power to create Teleportals. Mortamor has transported them to his Dread Realm because he seeks to control their power. While Benjamin is locked away in Mortamor's prison, Isaac is being tortured by the monsters Cabot and Belleau.

Other characters

• Evgenya (Geena) (ジーナ) and Ilya (イリア): A pair of thieves who desire the treasure in Amor's Northern Cave. Ilya has an ornament which increases her speed.

As the story progresses, they die and are reborn as children in the Upper World.
• Howard (Horus) (ホルス): Prince of the kingdom of Howcastle, the son of King Howie (ホルテン). He is a spoiled, cowardly child who cannot inherit the throne until he has proven his bravery through an ancestral rite of passage. King Howie asks the party to accompany him through the cavern of testing, and he gradually changes during the course of this quest. He is well-liked by the other children because they often work mischief together.
• Ludwig (Foan) (フォーン): The young king of Castle Swanstone. He is in love with the Cursed Princess, who was sealed in a mirror by Spiegel. Not wanting to make a show of the trapped princess as his ancestors did, he has hidden the mirror in an underground warehouse. He does not know the name of the princess, because she cannot reveal it while trapped.
• Miralda (Erica) (イリカ): The Cursed Princess, who was trapped inside the mirror 1000 years ago because she denied a wedding proposal from the wizard Spiegel. With the help of the party, she is finally released from the mirror. While sealed in the mirror, she was unable to reveal the existence of Spiegel to Foan, until the heroes arrive with the Ra's Mirror, which allows them to understand her gestures. Her original lover was slain by Spiegel, but he reincarnated in the form of Prince Foan. She is the first to mention the existence of Mortamor to the party.

• Rod (ロブ): A fisherman who lives in Pescado. He sustained life-threatening injury while trying to fish in a storm, and was healed by Unda. He regularly buys fish from the store to feed Unda, and is worried what the other villagers might do if they find her. Upon being discovered by the party, he asks the party to return Unda to the mermaid's home so that she may be reunited with her siblings and live without fear of being found by humans. Afterwards, his injuries healed, he visits the area by boat to meet with Unda again.

• Welda (Sarii) (サリイ): Daughter of Cobble. It is said that she is even more talented than her father.

In order to mask his whereabouts, he has cursed the King of Somnia to take on his personality and appearance, serving as a distraction in he Upper World.
• Jamirus (ジャミラス): One of the four Dread Fiends, with the form of a gryphon. It has sealed the Medford's Manor's castle, for Mortamor was fearful of the treasures he possessed. He seeks to lure humans to a supposed "Isle O' Smiles" in the Upper World, which it will rule on behalf of Mortamor. His lair is in the Upper World since the Murdaw of that world is an illusion. He rallies the monsters of that world to serve Mortamor.
• Gracos (グラコス): One of the four Dread Fiends. A fish-like demon, he dwells in the Seabed Shrine, and has sealed the magic city of Sorceria. Since he has few visitors Undersea, he is found sleeping when the party reaches it. He seems overly talkative, telling the party all about his orders before realizing his mistake. He might be named after the minor Greek sea deity Glaukos.
• Dhuran (デュラン): One of the four Dread Fiends. He has a human-like appearance, and boasts of his great strength among Mortamor's servants. He has taken residence in Cloudsgate Citadel, sealed it from the Upper World, and surrounded it with a malevolent force to block access to heroes with the Legendary Equipment. He respects superior strength, and will tell the party of the existence of Mortamor after being defeated. He heals the party before attacking them, since they have just fought several boss fights in a row (including Terry).
• Blackmar (Akbar) (アクバー): The Dread Fiend who is Mortamor's right hand, and rules the Gallows Moor. He plans to marry Sister Anna and implant a demon's soul in her.

• Cabot and Belleau (ズイカク and ショウカク): A pair of Mortamor's lackeys. They try to secure the loyalty of Isaac and force him to watch the (false) scene of the execution of his younger brother Benjamin. Their Japanese names reference the aircraft carriers "Zuikaku" (瑞鶴) and "Shoukaku" (翔鶴) of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
• Spiegel (ミラルゴ): An evil wizard who lives in a tower in the desert. He seems to have been human in the past. He fell in love with princess Miralda, and imprisoned her in a mirror when she refused to return his advances. It is not stated if he has any connection to Mortamor.
