Squad E are the main protagonists of Valkyria Chronicles 4.

Main members
Claude Wallace: Squad Commander of Squad E, Claude graduated as valedictorian from the Royal Military Academy. In his youth, Claude got a reputation for being a scaredy cat, and his inability to act led Riley to lose her parents. After that disaster, Claude spent hours simply gazing off into the sky watching the clouds go by, merely existing. Eventually he began to notice subtle changes in the weather. Claude is close friends with Raz, Riley Miller and Norid Saarinen.

Raz: Raz is a hot headed Darcsen who has the tendency to charge in recklassly. He refers to himself as 'Invincible'. In his youth, he used to pick on Claude, and held a grudge against him believing Claude's scaredy cat nature would get him and the squad killed in battle under his command. Through a training session that lands them in the Ranger corps, Raz begins to respect Claude. Raz's close allies are Claude Wallace, Kai Schulen and fellow Darcsen, Zaiga.

Kai Schulen: Kai Schulen is the sniper sergeant of Squad E. She is highly skilled, cautious and blunt, capable of beating Raz in a fist fight, but also making sure to cover his recklass charges when in battle, even if she's not happy about it. Kai's favourite food is bread, making her very excited about Alicia Melchiott's goal to open a bakery. Her real name is Lina, having adopted her brother's name and role within Squad E to prevent the higher ups from discovering he'd abandoned the army and bringing shame to his name. Kai's closest allies are Raz, Riley Miller and Azusa Tsukikage.

Riley Miller: The daughter of Albert Miller, a researcher of Ragnite compression techniques, Riley grew up in Hafen with Claude, Raz, Kai and Lina. Her parents and younger sister tragically died in a fire at the Miller Company factory, and she blames Claude for holding her back, preventing her from saving her sister. After this incident, After the incident she went to study abroad, carrying on her father's research with her work leading to single person grenade launchers. She becomes a science officer and through pure chance ends up being assigned to Squad E where she reconciles with her friends she hadn't seen in ten years. Riley's close allies are Kai Schulen and Claude Wallace(once he proves he's no longer cowardly).

Miles Arbeck:

Dan Bentley:

Scouts
Nico Emery: A firm believer in God's will, Nico believes everyone can find salvation and believes in the good in everyone. She enlisted to help those suffering from the pain of war, and her influence is so strong many of her squad mates have set about living more virtuous lives as a result of spending time with her. After hearing about Godwin's less privilaged background, the discrimination he faced as a Darcsen and worrying for his soul after catching him looting corpses, she sets about trying to help him. Nico deeply respects Rosetta Valeriano who previously worked in the Europan church. Aside from Godwin and Rosetta, Nico is close allies with Lily Ashley. Nico is a starting member of Squad E.

Alicia Melchiott (DLC): A former town watch man of the Gallian town of Bruhl, Alicia Melchiott joined Squad 7 with Welkin Gunther and Isara Gunther. Alicia, with the rest of Squad 7 was assigned to team up for a training exercise with Squad E. Being the positive person she is, she seemed to get on with Riley Miller and Kai Schulen, the latter of whom was enamored with her bakery skills. Upon beating the DLC campaign with any rank, Alicia is unlocked as a (non canon) member of Squad E. Her close allies are Welkin Gunther and Isara Gunther.

Shocktroopers
Stanley Barclay: Loves telling bad jokes, Stanley has set about trying to improve the mood of everyone in Squad E. He enlisted largely because he thought the idea of a guy like him in the army would be funny. Despite this, Stanley has a heart of gold and upon hearing of the troubles of Ferrier Blancheur, sets about with his good friend Jean Matrix, to try and find out why she wears the iron mask. Nothing seems to get Stanley down, even Raz criticizing his bad jokes. Alongside Ferrier and Jean, Stanley is also good friends with Hanna Carroll. Stanley is a starting member of Squad E.

Ferrier Blancheur: A young woman who wears an iron mask like a knight on her head. It is revealed that she does not wear the mask for her own benefit, but because she is an illegitimate child of a nobleman. Her father, the nobleman in question forces her to wear the mask to hide her appearance as she looks very much like her mother. Whilst her face is never actually seen, Stanley comments on her beauty referring to her as an angel. Upon completing her Squad Story she becomes good friends with Stanley Barclay and Jean Matrix.

Brigitte "Rosie" Stark (DLC): 'Rosie' as she's known by the locals who frequented the bar she sang at pre-war, is the Shocktrooper leader of Squad 7. Rosie has a strong racist streak against Darcsens whom she blames for the death of her parents when she was young, them being caught up in the Darcsen Hunts performed by the Imperial Empire. As a result she takes an instant dislike to Raz, who is a Darcsen himself, but also can't stand the way he talks down about her and her fellow militia members and believes he's an idiot who will get everyone killed due to his recklass charges. Rosie is unlocked as a member of Squad E(non canonically) after the player beats the DLC with any ranking. Her close ally is Largo Potter.

Lancers
Jean Matrix: Jean is incredibly strong, and joined the army seeing it as a great way to get even stronger. Currently holds the record at arm wrestling victories within Squad E, having not lost in over 100 games, and is strong enough to break iron locks with her bare hands. She's happily married to a man she met when she was sent to a field hospital after recieving an injury, but rarely talks about her husband unless somebody asks, keeping a photo of him with her at all times. Ironically her husband is the one man she could never beat in an arm wrestling contest, largely because she gets flustered whilst holding his hand. She is good friends with Stanley Barclay, Ferrier Blancheur and Viola Bryce. She is a starting member of Squad E.

Largo Potter (DLC): Largo is Squad 7's lancer leader. He joins Squad 7 as they are assigned to a training session with Squad E. Much like Rosie, he takes an instant dislike to Raz, although his disdain seems to stem from Raz's general lack of experience, recklessness and ill manners. He eventually warms up to Squad E as they prove that whilst young they have the skills required to keep Gallia safe, and joins Welkin, Alicia and Rosie in coming to their aid in the end. Largo is unlocked as a member of Squad E(albeit non canonically) upon beating the DLC with any ranking. His close ally is Brigitte "Rosie" Stark.

Grenadiers
Isara Gunther (DLC): Sister of Welkin Gunther, and the driver of the Edelweiss, Isara forms quick bonds with both Riley Miller who shares her love of invention and Miles Arbeck, who shares a deep appreciation of tanks with her. It is implied Riley helps Isara finalise her smoke screen shells that proved vital in the first game, whilst Isara shares the idea with Riley, giving her access to the same shells. Unlike in Valkyria Chronicles, Isara is a playable character in Valkyria Chronicles 4, where if the player gets an A rank in both Squad 7 DLC missions, a third section dedicated to Riley teaching Isara how to be a Grenadier will unlock. Beating this will allow Isara to become playable as part of Squad E.

Tanks
Welkin Gunther (DLC): Leader of the Gallian Militia's Squad 7, Welkin Gunther and his squad meets up with Claude Wallace and the rest of Squad E for a joint training session. He hits it off with Claude instantly, both commanders having a respect for nature and the pair go on to protect Gallia from Imperial troops. After completing the DLC, Welkin is unlocked, joining Squad E(non canonically) as a tank unit with the Edelweiss. Welkin is good friends with Alicia Melchiott and Isara Gunther.

Other
Karen Stuart: Squad E's medic, Karen is a young but talented medic. Like Fina Sellers, she isn't directly controllable, but will appear whenever a downed soldier is discovered by a squad mate, with her appearance indicating that the soldier is safely evacuated and no longer at risk of perma-death. Karen can sew well (handy for being a medical surgeon on the battlefield) and even repairs Fleuret Valois' ammo pouch, replacing it with a cute teddy bear theme which lead to Mabel Drake suffering a 'cuteness overload'. Occasionally she is joined by Ragnarok when evacuating soldiers.

Ragnarok: Ragnarok, otherwise known as 'Rags' is the company's dog, and also Squad E's mascot, Rags occasionally aids Karen Stuart in rescuing downed soldiers. If he appears during Karen's cutscene, the soldier who called for medical support will get a morale boost.
