Evan is one of the six heroes, a magician and main protagonist in Heroes of Maple. Originally a farm boy, he would be thrusted into adventure and responsibility as the successor of Freud, the great magician of Maple, dragon master and hero. 

This is because his predecessor Freud formed a special bond with Afrien, king of a proud, prosperous race of Dragons known as the Onyx. But Freud would be cursed by the Black Mage after sealing him away, which Afrien chose to share. The curse would destroy all the eggs of the Onyx dragon race bar one, and Afrien would fall into a deep inescapable slumber of ice. Freud’s last act of preserving the Onyx line would be to hide an egg, the last hope for the Onyx race, for a successor of the dragon masters to find it. Evan would find a sacred dragon egg that bore the mark of the Onyx. The egg would eventually hatch into Mir, successor of Afrien, and with that Evan formed a special bond with Mir through the Spirit Pact. Mir told him that they needed to fulfil their responsibilities as heroes, and successors of the bond of dragon master and Onyx Dragon dynasty. 

In Heroes of Maple, Evan would go on a quest as a dragon master with Mir, successor of the Onyx dynasty, to discover the world, stop Damien from using the Tree of Life’s power to destroy anything he wants and search for Afrien to get answers on what Freud left behind.

Cult of Personality: Evan is a fairly typical anime protagonist. Naïve and innocent, but has a good heart, wants to help people and do the right thing. Evan is exceedingly kind and sweet, being the nicest and most easily approachable member of the Heroes. He is often doubtful about himself, trying his best to live up to Freud's legacy. Evan can easily get emotional, especially in stressful situations but he is also determined and strong willed and is able to compose himself.

Aran is one of the Maple Alliance heroes, and a warrior.   

Aran was part of six original heroes that sealed the Black Mage away, but all the heroes including her were cursed and put in a slumber of frozen ice. Battered, bruised and exhausted, Aran lost her memories. But thanks to her new friend Lilin, Aran slowly began to regain her memories. In Heroes of Maple, Aran had befriended and trained with Shade, when she received news of Lilin being kidnapped by the Demon Army. She and Shade met up with Evan, and later Phantom, Luminous and Mercedes to form the new heroes on a quest to stop Damien.

Cult of Personality: Aran truly has the heart of a hero, initially gathering the original heroes to stop the Black Mage from conquering MapleWorld. She had also rescued a lost child from a burning forest in helping evacuate the people of Leafre from the Black Mage’s wrath. Aran is strong, courageous and supportive, a real tough woman. She gives Evan advice on how to lead and have confidence in himself, almost like a big sister to him. That’s not to say she doesn’t have a playful, teasing light-hearted side either, particularly with Shade. Due to her strong sense of justice, she can get emotional and enraged after seeing what evil deeds her enemies have done.

Shade is one of the Maple Alliance heroes, and a Pirate legend. 

Though no one remembers, he played arguably the most important role in saving Maple World last time round. In the most selfless act, he sacrificed his existence to prepare for the seal to seal away the Black Mage. However, nobody remembers Shade’s existence or what he did due to the nature of the seal. Reborn in Vulpes, he was helped by Moonbeam, a young girl of the Pointy-Ear Foxes. After becoming companions with and offered the spirit powers of Moonbeam, Shade returns to Victoria Island to find his friends. But he finds Evan who tells him Freud is dead. Shade vents his feelings of anger (because Freud did not mention him in his tales after the final battle) by "writing a letter to Freud", putting it in a bottle and dumping it in Gold Beach. 

From there, throughout encounters with his friends, he isn’t recognised by any of them, until he discovers in the Lion King's Castle that he was wiped off from existence. Wanting to start afresh, Shade returns to Vulpes, only to find out that no one, not even Moonbeam, remembers him. He realizes that every time he crosses the dimensions he will always be forgotten by the people inside the dimension that he left. Shade finally decides to join with Aran and the Hero Alliance again, it is implied that he joined the heroes thanks to Freud giving him hope he’d promised to stay with him a long time ago. Hearing that Aran’s friend Lilian had been kidnapped by the Demon army, he goes with Aran to Slumbering Dragon Island to help rescue her.    

Cult of Personality: Shade is one of the quieter heroes, having little to say but when he does it is always important. Shade carries a great deal of sadness and pain around with him, as a result of being wiped from existence and being forgotten by everyone after dimension hopping. Because of this, he is shown to be wise, loyal and patient. However he has learnt to suppress those emotions, and develops a strong and stoic demeanor. However, upon meeting Freud as a past-tense spiritual messenger, Shade does begin to well up with emotion as the Freud projection explains why the spell that would seal the Black mage required a sacrifice and erased everyone’s memory of him. And upon reminding Freud of his name, Freud says it’s good to see him again.

Mercedes is one of the Maple Alliance heroes, queen of the Elves in the Elluel village and a bow wielder.

After sealing the Black Mage away along with the heroes, she was frozen by the Black Mage's curse when she tried to protect her village. Sealing the village of the elves, Elluel, Mercedes and her people fell into a deep sleep for hundreds of years. Mercedes awakens to find her previous power gone, and begins training to regain her strength. In Heroes of Maple, she meets up with her subjects, finding ways to release the elf children from the frozen curse. Even though she still had regrets about the decision she made a century ago, she decided to join in the upcoming battle.

Cult of Personality: Being a queen, Mercedes has a commanding, assertive demeanour. If anything stands in her way, she would be willing to put an arrow in your face if they didn’t cooperate. Mercedes is also responsible and caring, particularly when breaking up Phantom and Luminous who get into fights often in the saga. She has her share of flustered moments, like at the party in act 3 where she was forced to interact with esteemed members. She isn’t easily impressed and needs her respect to be earned, particularly from Evan on their first meeting as he bears the burden of being the successor of the great Freud. But when her respect is earned, Mercedes will be a compassionate and supportive friend. Mercedes is also courageous and heroic that rivals Aran and Evan, possibly superseding theirs. She never hides from danger and won’t hesitate to defend her people from getting kidnapped. She is also a fish out of water somewhat, she had the hardest time dealing with the changes to Maple World, exacerbated by Elluel's seclusion compared to the rest of the world while she was sealed away by the Black Mage’s curse.

Phantom is one of the Maple Alliance heroes, and a world-renowned thief. 

His impoverished childhood left him with resentment against the wealthy noblemen who wasted their money on their frivolous needs instead of helping those in misfortune.

Years later, Phantom became infamous among the wealthy merchants and noblemen. He was honoured throughout Maple World by the masses for stealing only from the rich and cruel.

He would meet one of his admirers, former empress Aria of Ereve. Phantom visited her on multiple occasions, and upon Aria showing Phantom that some wealthy marquesses do use their money for something good, and Phantom fulfilling Aria’s need to talk about her empress problems, they both fell in love with each other. 

Aria informed Phantom of a conference with envoys of the Black Mage, hoping to bring a peaceful resolution to the Mage’s war of conquest. But the conference was a trap, and Aria was killed by Lotus and Orchid, two commanders of the Black Mage. Devastated by Aria's death, Phantom sought vengeance against the Black Mage and those who killed her. During the battle of the Heroes against the Black Mage, Phantom mercilessly beat Lotus, before being cursed by the Black Mage after sealing him, and fell into a deep slumber of ice.

Since awakening, he played an important part behind the scenes in conducting investigations into activities that may have a connection to the Black Mage and his Commanders. Upon being stopped by Aria’s spirit from killing Cygnus under Orchid’s control, Cygnus asks him to join the Maple alliance, reinforcing what Aria told him to stop his quest for vengeance and that he wasn’t alone in the fight against the Black Mage. Phantom agrees to join the alliance. And so he became a hero to protect the world his loved one, Aria, loved so much before she died.

Cult of Personality: Phantom always has a cool, charming charisma about him. A Ladies magnet, able to woo his way into any woman’s heart and phone number, if they don’t come on too strong that is! He enjoys being in the spotlight, and has a childlike playfulness about it. He and Luminous have a competitive, playful rivalry akin to being brothers, competing to who gets the most kills in fights and trading light-hearted blows with each other. 

However there are times where he loses his cool, like when he and Luminous discussed the moral and ethical implications of a world without a transcendent of life, Phantom being against it due to his experiences with having seen power fall into the wrong hands before.

Luminous is one of the Maple Alliance heroes, and a master magician. 

After fighting through many tough battles against the Black Mage’s forces, it was Luminous who dealt the final blow to the Black Mage once and for all. However, in the Black Mage’s attempts to break free, Luminous is forced to physically clash with him, and he becomes tainted with the Black Mage's dark power, to which he struggles to keep a hold of.

After falling into a deep slumber of ice with the other Heroes by the Black Mage, Luminous wakes up and finds himself in Ellinia. A girl named Lania found him and brought him into her home, where they lived happily. However, as years pass, the Black Mage's dark power gains control and suddenly annihilates the entire area, fatally injuring Lania in the process. In choosing the light over the darkness in himself, he is able to restore the area and Lania’s health to what it was before but he leaves Lania over fears he cannot control the darkness inside him. 

In Heroes of Maple, he takes some convincing to join the Maple alliance as he was doubtful about Freud's decision of the heroes being together, as well as considering Evan a clumsy successor and not Freud’s equal, until Lania arrived and convinced Luminous to let them stay with them for a while. She eventually convinces him to go with Evan, asking about his relationship with Phantom and his comparison between Evan and Freud.  

Cult of Personality: Luminous is one of most powerful mages in Maple World, and is shown to be prideful and hard to impress, refusing to follow someone who was so clearly inexperienced and weak in comparison to Freud. Naturally, he also possesses high intelligence, which Luminous proves when he reveals that Damien's army had followed Evan to Luminous' home without Evan noticing. Despite coming off as stern and kind of a jerk, he does have a sense of honour and he teaches Evan to have confidence in himself despite his inexperience. He and Phantom have a playful, competitive rivalry like two siblings would have. Although he takes the more mature path, and can get worked up when his views and decisions are questioned by Phantom. It is possible his cold demeanour is a result of the duality of his light and the darkness of the Black Mage tainted inside him.

Mir is the last Onyx Dragon, a race of powerful dragons once led by Afrien. 

Mir’s egg was lost somewhere in Leafre following the defeat of the Black Mage, where it was brought back to Afrien, king of the Onyx Dragons, by a warrior where it would be with Freud upon request. Centuries later, a young farm boy by the name of Evan would stumble across the egg and bring the egg and the pig back with him. After Evan reaches a specific power level, the egg will hatch and Mir will be formally born, where he would spend the rest of his time with Evan. In Heroes of Maple, Evan and Mir head to the Slumbering Dragon Island, where Afrien is rumoured to be resting, to find answers on what has become of the Onyx Dragon dynasty.   

Cult of Personality: Despite being a young Dragon, Mir is shown to be determined and steadfast, finding his way back to Evan after falling into a steep incline in a cave. He will always remain by Evan’s side through thick and thin, as demonstrated in Act 3, where Mir stays with Evan on Abraxas and would fight alongside Evan when Damien's soldiers infiltrate the ship. Being a young dragon is shown to be playful, teasing he’ll eat Evan more than one time for not having hope, calling people names and making jokes frequently in the saga. He does display an immaturity at times however, when he jokingly calls Luminous “Lumi” in Ellinia, a nickname Lilian coined. He also can become emotional over traumatic events, such as Afrien’s death.

Freud was the leader of the original six Heroes who sealed the Black Mage. He was eventually succeeded by Evan. Freud plays a major role in the second blockbuster Heroes of Maple, as he had foresaw the predicted threat and made preparations to ensure that his friends and successor will stop it. This included messages from the past on giving answers or guidance for the new Heroes to follow in helping them on their quest.

Freud was one of the greatest Magicians in Maple World and the only dragon master at the time. He formed an unbreakable bond with Afrien, King of the Onyx Dragons, a powerful dragon race, a bond which will remain even after death. After sealing the Black Mage with the help of Luminous and the forgotten hero shade, Freud along with Aran, Mercedes and Afrien would be sent to the outskirts of Leafre where Afrien would ask an adventurer to help him with some tasks, which involved bringing the egg to Freud for when he awakens, which he would eventually does. 

Some time after the Black Mage was sealed, his friends and Afrien caught the Black Mage curse. He was not affected by the curse as Afrien took his place. Before Afrien was left behind in a snowy island, which was later known as Slumbering Dragon Island, both of them spent their final moments together, with Freud imbuing his memories in Afrien and hoping that his future successor will find it. 

Cult of Personality: Freud was a widely respected and liked magician throughout Maple World for his exceptional forward thinking, magnetic personality and leadership qualities. He puts people’s minds at ease by making information easy to follow, but he can also inspire comfort and belief in people, particularly when delivering a message to Evan through Afrien he can trust Freud’s old friends when Evan feels alone.

Afrien was the partner of great magician Freud and king of the Onyx, a race of powerful dragons. 

During the previous battle with the Black Mage, the Onyx Dragon race was struck with a terrible curse by the Black Mage after his defeat. One that would destroy all the Dragon eggs and send all the living Dragons into a deep, long slumber, Afrien sealed away, effectively ending the Onyx dynasty… Almost. Beforehand, Afrien tells an adventurer to bring him the last Onyx Dragon Egg, where it will travel with Freud when he wakes up. 

In Heroes of Maple, he is found by Evan, successor of Freud, and Mir, his heir to the Onyx dynasty. Afrien explains to them why he had been waiting in Slumbering Dragon Island for so long, and to deliver a message from Freud to answer the questions Evan and Mir had on their new responsibilities as great magician and heir to the Onyx respectively.        

Cult of Personality: A proud, dignified ruler of the powerful Onyx Dragon race, down to the near extinction of his race, and to his own end. Even in the short time Mir had been alive and had spent with his master, Afrien expressed his pride for seeking him out and for taking responsibility as the sole heir to the Onyx Dragons. He shows to have had a great deal of patience, having waited for so long to deliver Freud’s message to the heroes. He also shows tremendous integrity when refusing Damien’s offer of new life and immortality, so he wouldn’t be enslaved. 

Age Range: Early-to-Mid 20s.

Demon is the older brother of Damien, part of the resistance and former commander of the Black Mage. 

He was born to a demon father and a human mother, and grew up in Tynerum after pledging allegiance to the Black Mage, in exchange for protection and immunity for Damien and his mother, setting up a home in southern Minar Forest. Tynerum was a brutally harsh place where war and chaos ruled. The strong Demons prevailed and the weak were scorned and beaten. Demon came out better than his brother Damien, although he was constantly mocked for being half-human like his younger brother. At one point, Demon's devil powers awakened in order to protect Damien from bullies, and Demon vowed to protect Damien no matter what. 

But Demon was betrayed when his mother, and assuming his brother Damien, were killed in the aftermath of an attack on Leafre ordered by the Black Mage. What he didn’t realize was that Damien had survived that night. Demon vowed vengeance and attacked the Black Mage, but was overwhelmed and sealed away for several centuries. Demon's attack did aid the Heroes in sealing away the Black Mage however, ending his reign of terror for the time being. When he awoke from the curse with all his power taken from him, he joins up with the Resistance, seeking revenge on the Black Mage and training to recover his former strength. 

In Heroes of Maple, Demon learns that a new commander had demon soldiers invade his old home of southern Minar Forest. Thus he set off, determined to expose the identity of the commander. 

Cult of Personality: Like his brother, Demon is shown to be a dramatic character, as their story plays out like a Greek tragedy. Demon is shown to be strong willed and responsible, as he and Damien dealt with discrimination and bullying for being part human when they were young. He is also quite caring as he is always looking out for his younger brother Damien, although he was often too busy to spend time with his family. Demon shows a great deal of guilt, as he feels responsible for all of Damien’s suffering in Tynerum, being unaware of what happened the night their mother died or how Damien was manipulated into becoming the Black Mage’s commander. This is exacerbated when Demon is unable to convince Damien not to go after the Black Mage’s forbidden power, as it would destroy him.

Arkarium, also known as the Guardian of Time, is one of the commanders of the Black Mage, and is said to be his right-hand man.

He was once a monk serving Rhinne, goddess of the time temple, but he betrays her after realizing the Black Mage’s; deciding following her would be pointless. After Arkarium helps seal Rhinne on the Black Mage’s orders, his master gives the credit to Demon; commander and brother of Damien. Arkarium unsurprisingly became envious and bitter towards Demon, having remained loyal to the Black Mage for most of his life and having sacrificed much in his life to serve him. 

Seeking retribution: he uses the hidden demonic powers inside Damien to take everything Demon has ever loved. To recruit Damien under his wing, Arkarium tells Damien he killed his own mother, and she can be revived if he does what he says. Damien agrees and becomes a commander overseen by Arkarium. 

In Heroes of Maple, Arkarium oversees Damien, who has been tasked with subduing the World Tree. He suspects Damien is planning to betray the Black Mage. Arkarium threatens Damien, telling him his mother is alive and has been keeping her frozen in time, and will kill her if he doesn’t follow the Black Mage’s orders. 

Believing he has control of the situation, Arkarium states to himself he will enjoy the look on Damien’s face when he uncovers his betrayal and finally gets the credit he feels he deserves from the Black Mage… Or so he thinks!

Personality: Arkarium is a cold, conceited wizard, showing no care or sympathy for anyone but himself. Seeing Demon take all the credit for sealing the goddess Rhinne, he feels hollow and unimportant. Arkarium is an intelligent and scheming wizard, planting a time freezing spell on Damien when he took him in, not to mention tricking him several times. He has shown great patience, putting up with Damien’s arrogance and disloyalty under his wing. Despite his bitterness, he takes enjoyment in revealing the truth to Damien about what happened the night his mother died.

The World Tree, also known as Alice or Alicia, is Maple World's Transcendent of Life and is the source of life itself. 

Long ago, the Black Mage tried to rob the World Tree of her powers, but she escaped and retreated to the Root Abyss to recuperate. However, Alicia was found by a commander of the Black Mage, Damien, who sent his generals to keep her trapped inside. After defeating Damien's generals, the World Tree requests to see the world, since she has been underground for so long and has not been able to see the surface. However, after realizing that something is keeping the World Tree at bay, the Alliance convinces Alicia to rest in Ereve, as they both know she will be safer there. Upon arriving, the World Tree disappears into Shinsoo's crown jewel. Later however, Damien infiltrates Ereve and slays Shinsoo, capturing Alicia in the process. In Heroes of Maple: she was predicted to be in danger, from the future vision seen by Freud: "When the battle of the end approaches, the wolf that is released from its shackles will devour the World Tree".

Cult of Personality: As Alicia’s body and soul are separate, and both have different personalities. Her body (who resides in the Root Abyss) is more polite, with an almost childlike innocence (though rather naïve). Despite this she appears to be well-informed, telling him power comes with a price with commanders Hilla selling out her country, Von Leon trading his soul and Arkarium knowing his limitations as a human. As her physical side is resting within the Root Abyss, she speaks with a quiet, almost whispery voice.
