This is a list of characters from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, a Japanese manga series written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe.

Frieren's party

Frieren (フリーレン, Furīren)
Voiced by: Atsumi Tanezaki[1] (Japanese); Mallorie Rodak[2] (English)
An elven mage who was a member of the group that defeated the Demon King. Although she appears to be very young, she was born into a long-lived race of elves and has lived for over a thousand years. Because her sense of time is so dissimilar to that of humans, she has no qualms about working for months, if not years, at a time. After the death of Himmel, a member of her disbanded party, Frieren regretted not knowing him better during their ten-year adventure. As a result, she embarked on another journey to learn more about humanity. She has also traveled with a human wizard apprentice, Fern, since she took her on as an apprentice at Heiter's suggestion.
Over a thousand years ago, Frieren was rescued by the great wizard Flamme during a demon attack on her hometown. This harrowing experience instilled in Frieren a deep-seated abhorrence for demons, fueling her ambition to rid the world of their presence. After the Demon King's demise, Frieren dedicated herself to researching demon-slaying magic[lower-alpha 1] while continuing to kill them whenever she could until the demon race was no longer as threatening as it once was. As the wizard who has buried the most demons in recorded history, she has earned the moniker "Frieren the Slayer",[lower-alpha 2] and is feared by the demon race. Despite her accomplishments, Frieren has faced her share of defeats and struggles with certain shortcomings. As an elf, she is often perceived as being insensitive to human emotions. Her occasional clumsiness in social interactions leads others to mistakenly label her as aloof, but in reality, Frieren possesses a kind and caring nature.
Fern (フェルン, Ferun)
Voiced by: Kana Ichinose[3] (Japanese); Jill Harris[2] (English)
Frieren's only apprentice. She is a war orphan from a southern country who had lost her parents and was about to commit suicide by jumping off a ravine in despair when Heiter came to her rescue. She began training in magic as a child under Heiter's tutelage in order to become more self-sufficient. She met Frieren, who visited Heiter when she was nine years old. Fern requested that Frieren teach her magic so that she could become a full-fledged mage. After Heiter's death, she embarks on a journey as Frieren's apprentice at the age of 15. Later, she became a first-class mage after passing the examination while still in adolescence. As a privilege of being a first-class mage, Fern may ask Serie practically any magic. Likewise, the newly appointed first-class wizard merely asked for a spell to remove dirt from any garments, much to Serie's dismay. Despite treating Stark coldly at first, she eventually warms up to him as they grow close, although still scolding him when he causes trouble.
Stark (シュタルク, Shutaruku)
Voiced by: Chiaki Kobayashi,[3] Arisa Kiyoto (child)[4] (Japanese); Jordan Dash Cruz[5] (English)
A young warrior who was raised by Eisen and served as a replacement for him on Frieren's new adventure. Since Eisen declined the invitation due to his old age, Stark stepped up to become the frontline fighter in battles, a role that Frieren and Fern, being magicians, are not suited for. Despite his timidity, Stark proves to be a strong and capable warrior fiercely loyal to his companions.
Sein (ザイン, Zain)
Voiced by: Yuichi Nakamura,[6] Natsumi Kawaida (child)[4] (Japanese); Christopher Wehkamp[7] (English)
A village priest who joins Frieren's party on her journey after they meet. Despite being a talented priest, Sein has several vices, including a love for liquor, cigarettes, gambling, and older women. He travels with Frieren's group for a time but eventually leaves them temporarily to search for his best friend, who embarked on a solo adventure a long time ago.

The Hero party

A group of warriors that Frieren was part of. They journeyed together for 10 years until they finally accomplished their mission of slaying the Demon King and parted ways afterwards. Despite the party disbanded at the start of the story, they appear regularly in flashbacks throughout the series.

Himmel (ヒンメル, Hinmeru)
Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto[8] (Japanese); Clifford Chapin[2] (English)
A human member of the original hero party, who died. He was the hero of the group and a self-proclaimed handsome man. After seeing a meteor shower together, he and Frieren promised to meet again. He died shortly after the two reunited fifty years later.
Heiter (ハイター, Haitā)
Voiced by: Hiroki Tōchi[8] (Japanese); Jason Douglas[2] (English)
The other deceased human member of the hero party, the alcohol-loving priest of the group. He found, adopted, and raised Fern after the party dissolved.
Eisen (アイゼン, Aizen)
Voiced by: Yōji Ueda[8] (Japanese); Christopher Guerrero[2] (English)
Another living member of the original hero party besides Frieren. Eisen is a dwarf who, although not as long-lived as elves, still has a significantly longer lifespan than humans. However, Eisen was past his prime despite his extended life and growing old, even by dwarf standards. As a result, he declined Frieren's invitation to embark on a new adventure, choosing to spend his remaining days in peace and recommending Stark to accompany her instead.

Demons

A race of monsters that once terrorized the world, led by the Demon King, until he is slain by the Hero's party. Since then, remnant forces, albeit weaker, still wage war against the other races. Demons are individualistic creatures whose societal hierarchy is based only on power and while demons have been shown to feel emotions, they do not feel the same emotions as humans do, and as a result, are incompatible with human ideas of morality, eventually pretending to display human emotions in order to deceive them.

Aura (アウラ)
Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu[9] (Japanese); Corey Pettit[10] (English)
An old nemesis of Frieren and the Hero's Party that they managed to drive out many years ago. She possesses the Scales of Obedience, a weapon that allowed her to dominate her opponents and turn them into puppets, allowing her to decapitate them, hence the surname “The Guillotine”. When Aura attempts to use the Scales of Obedience on Frieren, she falls under her control instead, and decapitates herself by Frieren's orders.
Qual (クヴァール, Kuvāru)
Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto[11] (Japanese); Major Attaway[5] (English)
Known as the "Sage of Corruption", Qual was one of the servants of the Demon King who was sealed by the Hero's party as he was too strong to defeat. Several decades later, he is unsealed by Frieren, who finally destroys him with Fern's assistance. Qual is the creator of a powerful offensive magic known as "Zoltraak", which becomes the mages' standard attack spell after it was studied and deciphered by human researchers during the time he was sealed.

Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe[9] (Japanese); Blake McNamara[5] (English)

First-class mages can seek Serie's invaluable guidance and may request any spell they desire. Serie is a dedicated mentor at her core, fervently nurturing and steering the future generation of remarkable wizards.

Serie believes their potential is wasted as they fixate on defeating demons and advocating for a peaceful era.

Other characters

Flamme (フランメ, Furanme)
Voiced by: Atsuko Tanaka[11] (Japanese); Lydia Mackay[5] (English)

She was the mentor of Frieren and the apprentice of the great wizard, Serie.
In the past, an elf village was invaded on the orders of the Demon King, and Flamme protected the lone survivor, Frieren. In the blink of an eye, she could eliminate pursuers stronger than the Demon King's army's general. She taught Frieren an effective fighting method that included concealing her magical strength to catch opponents off guard and eliminate them with little effort, instructing her to spend the rest of her life doing so.

Notes

  1. ↑ Hito o Korosu Mahō (人を殺す魔法) in Japanese, literally translates as "Human Slaying Magic." However, the author intentionally made up the reading as "Zoltraak". It is a form of offensive magic developed by a powerful demon specifically for killing humans. Later, Zoltraak was studied by humanity and eventually incorporated into the foundational magic taught to all modern human mages, where it has been altered into a demon-slaying art.
  2. ↑ Sōsō no Furīren (葬送のフリーレン) in Japanese, as the series' title. It could also be translated as "Frieren the Undertaker".
