Dramatis Personae

Bayonetta

“Cereza” to those who know her well enough.

The Umbra Witch and angel slayer extraordinaire. The daughter of an Umbra Witch and a Lumen Sage, she’s imbued with the Left Eye of Darkness, which is said to be associated with a godly presence.

Bayonetta practices “bullet arts,” a beautifully deadly dance-like fighting style performed with a combination of melee attacks and the guns on her hands and feet.

Jeanne

Bayonetta’s former-rival-turned-best friend, and fellow Umbra Witch. Her abduction, and the curiosities surrounding it, are what kick off Bayonetta’s adventure across the three planes of existence.

Rodin

The infernal weaponsmith returns, still running the bar known as The Gates of Hell, where Bayonetta can have new weapons made, pick up all sorts of items and accessories, and learn new moves. However, recent events have prompted Rodin to step into the fray himself—and when he does, things get explosive!

Loki

This mysterious boy joins Bayonetta in her quest while pursuing one of his own. To say that the two’s personalities and even ideologies are at odds is an understatement, but perhaps, just perhaps along the way, they might learn to find some common ground.

Along with being quite agile, Loki can toss cards to attack and can project magic fields to defend himself in battle.

Enzo

Though his being the butt of the series’ more elaborate jokes may suggest otherwise, Enzo is actually a resourceful informant and consequently a valuable member of Bayonetta’s entourage. In both the original game and this one, it is Enzo who finds out where Bayonetta will have to journey to find whatever answers she seeks.

Luka

A scoop-searching journalist armed with naught but a grappling hook and a rather curious luck factor, Luka Redgrave (son of Antonio) chases after Bayonetta wherever he can, because let’s face it: Where Bayonetta goes, supernatural spectacle follows! As the aforementioned luck would have it, Luka’s research clues him in to a massive legend, and it is that legend that sets this game in motion.

Masked Lumen

In the midst of the battles in Paradiso, a Lumen Sage appears, which is certainly odd given that Bayonetta killed the last Lumen Sage on Earth with her own two hands (and lipstick!). Who lies behind the mask, and what are his motives? Bayonetta will have to battle him multiple times to find out.
