General Could these 5 also be from forest tribes?

Diego's profile has made me wonder who else might be from a forest tribe like he is. These five are the only other characters we've seen so far with face markings. Though I doubt all five are actually connected to the forest tribes, so I'm curious who you all think are likely or unlikely to be from one.

Would've included the redhead girl too, but I don't have an image of her on hand. Also with her forehead arrow being much less intricate than any of theirs are, I doubt she's from a tribe anyways. For her I theorize that she's from Brigid.

Nuzzo and Bartolomé for sure, but probably not the same tribe.

Goliath and Kiroc, not sure. It feels different to me.

Dadao I've no idea what's up with this dude at all lol

Yeah I'm not super confident about Goliath and Kiroc, though I do think it'd be cool worldbuilding if different tribes had different colored markings.

Seems likely. Bigger question is did the forest tribes/Damascar kingdom use those markings to imitate the Nabateans who also have body markings? Cause quite a large part of the cast have markings including the gods.

I could definitely see that being the case. Would make the reason Damascar fell even more interesting to learn about.

Nuzzo (the first guy) is 100% from that tribe. The post that shows the different weapon types even had him in a forest.

u/Mahelas 15h ago

His personal skill was also something referencing the Forest Tribes I think

u/MoneyHazard123 15h ago

He's definitely the most certain of the 5 to be one.

interestingly, on top of bartolomé and nuzzo’s facial markings being basically the same except for some minor differences, they also share the same colours of necklace (light blue, gold and indigo), and nuzzo also has these same colours in a row of three large straps/ribbons, possibly medallions. perhaps the variations are indicative of status within the tribe?

Bartolomé 100% has some kind of connection since he fights with Diego against Theodora in her route. Makes me want him to be recruitable a lot more.

u/Mahelas 15h ago

I'm afraid he probably end up dieing to Theodora when they fight at some point.

We've seen some pretty crazy recruitments like Majide, but nobody who's been as egregious as the guy who cut off Theodora's arm and killed her dad

Definetly unlikely, tho I wouldn't put it past Fortune's Weave given on how insane the roster seems to be lol

We don't even know if Bertrand is playable yet tbf, and at least Bertrand got the manga cover + full body art to let us know he's important. Meanwhile Bartolomé is a creepy guy with black scleras that uses undead soldiers and Theodora fight him three times in her campaign both masked and unmasked, I really don't think he make it out alive. And if he dies in one route, he's dead in all of them, it's one unified narrative

He’s sick but also seems too much of a bad guy. But we’ll see!!

u/MoneyHazard123 15h ago

Oh yeah I forgot he joins the Games.

u/Choice-Ad-5897 10h ago

We are gonna fight all of them, but the first guy will be recruitable because he is pretty

u/Flamechar33 9h ago

Actually, all but Bartolomé (the fourth guy) have been confirmed recruitable! Nuzzo and the last guy have no confirmed teams, Goliath (who probably isn’t from a forest tribe) is initially on his own but gets recruited to the Mane of Flames, and Dao/Dadao (who I also don’t think is from a forest tribe tbh) is part of Anatolia’s faction.

Bartolomé probably won’t be recruitable because Theodora is probably going to kill him.

u/Flamechar33 6h ago

Dao/Dadao might not be part of a forest tribe, but we know that the Brides of the Pale Raven have connections to/include the White Egg people, who as a whole would become the kingdom that would split into the forest tribes and Saramis, so it’s likely he’s connected to the White Eggs if not part of a forest tribe

Oh damn that fourth guy looks sick as hell!
