In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, characters are all part of one massive and enigmatic story where every action has the potential to shift the trajectory of events. With special skills, histories, and fight mechanics, characters assume great meaning for gamers venturing into an action-packed ride through this phenomenal world.

Gustave

Gustave is an engineer who has dedicated his life to the defensive and agricultural systems of Lumière. Living in a city plagued by the constant presence of the mysterious Artist, he has always sought ways to protect his people. Now, as an expeditioner, Gustave sets out on his final journey, determined to defeat the Artist and restore a future for the children of Lumière.

Gustave is a master of mechanics. His combat abilities rely on the use of a mechanical arm, which allows him to accumulate energy and deliver powerful electrical strikes. He can take hits, making him a strong defender for the team.

Mael

Mael, orphaned at the age of three, has never felt at home in Lumière. At 16, she is one of the youngest members of the expedition, and she has a deep sense of alienation from those around her. She values her adopted brother Gustave, but other members of the expedition fail to understand her ambitions.

For Mael, the expedition is a chance to break free from Lumière and determine her own destiny. Mael is a master swordfighter who moves swiftly on the battlefield. She can change stances, adapting her fighting tactics to various situations. Her speed and precision make her a deadly force in close combat.

Luna

Luna is the daughter of two renowned researchers, whose deaths left her with a burning desire to unravel the mystery of the Artist. She has dedicated her life to science and research, determined to finish her parents' work. Her sole purpose is to uncover the truth behind the Artist.

Luna is a mage who has the ability to create "spots" of magical energy, which can be absorbed to enhance her powers. She can manipulate the battlefield, providing tactical advantages to her team.

Sciel

Sciel was once a farmer who became a teacher and later a warrior. Her warm and sociable nature hides a dark and painful past that she has long come to terms with. Sciel is indifferent to death, having realized the cruelty of the world she lives in. She is deeply devoted to the expedition but does not worry about failure—whatever happens, they will do their best, and that will be enough.

Sciel can manipulate the energy of the Sun and Moon, using these forces for powerful attacks. Her abilities reach their peak during the "Twilight" phases when the energy of these two celestial bodies is at its height.

Monoco

Monoco is a Gestral, a member of a race of combatants for whom fighting and competition are forms of meditation. As one of the few Gestrals capable of speaking human language, Monoco has taken a scholarly approach to life, concealing his true bloodthirsty nature.

While Gestrals are unaffected by the Artist's influence, their passion for combat drives Monoco to join the expedition. Monoco can absorb the abilities of fallen enemies, adapting his combat strategy to the situation. This makes him a versatile fighter who can change his role based on the team's needs.

Verso

Verso is a foreigner of unknown origin who observes the expedition closely. His true intentions remain a mystery, but his combat abilities and strategic thinking make him a valuable ally. Verso possesses powerful resurrection abilities and deals significant damage in battle. His fighting style allows him to deliver devastating blows and be effective in combat against powerful enemies.

Each character in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 brings a rich backstory and distinct abilities, shaping the team’s dynamics. Their diverse combat styles and tactical strengths provide players with countless strategic options, ensuring that every encounter offers a fresh challenge and an opportunity for personal expression in navigating the mysteries of this enthralling world.
