Leon has a partner of sorts, a girl called Julia who was rescued from Dark Men in her native village. They became romantically entangled and she chose to go with him on his adventures.

She is also learning how to use magic to counter the forces of Evil, though she has a lot more to learn.
Bart is thief, scoundrel and a thoroughly dodge character. He was originally trying to join the army in order to escape from trouble and debts, while hoping to enrich himself along the way.
Since encountered the forces of evil that seek to destroy the Empire from within, Bart has reformed his ways - a little. He fears being judged after his death, especially once he saw a Witch's soul taken by the Devil.

The Professor was a powerful, though elderly, member of the Devil Cult. He is very experienced in Black Magic and Demonology, but has "retired" and is mostly used by the cult as a consultant. He was forced by the Witch Elektra to come out of retirement and help her when she began to track the party.
Heidelmann was able to summon a Kandarian demon to possess Julia, Leon's new partner, but Adolphus was able to banish the demon. The Witch was killed, but the elderly Professor was not a physical threat and they captured him.
Adolphus offered the Professor two choices, face trial and execution as a Devil Worshipper, or agree to renounce the cult and help them fight them. The elderly but cowardly man agreed to help them and has provided an address in Aachen where a senior member of the cult, the Magister Templi, is located.
Julia was originally a resident of the small town of Weissbruck, but her family were killed by Orcs and Dark men who had taken over the town. The group were able to rescue her and drive off the evil men, but Julia decided to go with them as he had no family left in the town.
She quickly became romantically with Leon and has become a quiet, behind the scenes helper of the group. She does a lot of domestic work, such as cooking and cleaning, while they do the dangerous stuff.
At one point she was captured by the Witch Elektra and Professor Heidelmann had her possessed by a Kandarian Demon. Adolphus was able to banish the demon, but since that experience, Julia has started to come out of her shell and become more assertive.
