In addition to the main character, Tanya, there are many other fascinating characters in Saga of Tanya the Evil.
In this article, I would like to introduce some of these fascinating characters.
Member of the 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion
Viktoriya Ivanovna Serebryakov
Voice Actor: Saori Hayami
203rd Aerial Mage Battalion Adjutant and First Squadron Member
Rank: Second Lieutenant
Nickname: Visha
Source: Saga of Tanya Episode 8
Fighting on the front lines alongside protagonist Tanya, this slightly clumsy girl exudes a unique charm. While she has mixed feelings of fear and respect for Tanya, she trusts her superior in battle and performs her role as Tanya's adjutant with distinction.

By the way, it's surprising how completely different Visha's appearance is in the anime and manga versions. The manga version is overwhelmingly beautiful, even more so than the main character. She's the kind of beauty that would turn heads if you saw her on the street.
In contrast, the anime version has a cute, puppy-like charm that makes you want to root for her.

Each version is packed with Visha's best qualities, so be sure to check them out.
Mautes Johann Weiss
Voice Actor: Daiki Hamano
Deputy Commander of the Imperial Army's 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion and Captain of the 2nd Squadron
Rank: Lieutenant
He survived Tanya's training at the training grounds, was overwhelmed by her, and became her loyal soldier. He has a serious personality. He lacks flexibility in combat and gives the impression of being a textbook man, but he steadily grows as Tanya's right-hand man. They say that those who work hard and honestly are the ones who grow the most, so I look forward to seeing his future growth.
Wilibald König
Voice Actor: Jun Kasama
Commander of the 3rd Squadron, Imperial Army's 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion
Rank: Lieutenant
He is one of the characters who became fearful of Tanya during training at the training grounds and became her loyal subordinate. Although he only appears in a few scenes, his single eyelids give him an intelligent and cool impression.
Rainer Neumann
Voice actor = Daichi Hayashi
Commander of the 3rd Company of the 203rd Aviation Magic Battalion of the Imperial Army
class: Lieutenant

He was intimidated by Tanya during training at the training grounds and became her loyal subordinate. He has a charming, chubby figure with blonde hair and curly bangs.

— グランツ少尉(遅め反抗期) (@uAtoCdJI4yV8xrY) November 9, 2017
Voice Actor: Yusuke Kobayashi
I admire how, despite his fear of war, he continues to take things step by step. Episode 8 of the anime features a striking scene in which he struggles with his own ethics, which prevent him from killing innocent civilians, and the military discipline that requires absolute obedience to orders from superiors.
Since he is often seen working alongside Lieutenant Weiss, he seems to be her right-hand man.

Voice Actor: Houchu Otsuka
Imperial Army Vice Chief of Staff
Rank: Brigadier General
A character who has high hopes for Tanya. In the anime world, it's common knowledge that characters with half-closed eyes are shrewd. Of course, he's a shrewd character. There are moments in his conversations with Tanya that make her flinch, revealing his profound wisdom. In fact, it was Sethua who listened to Tanya, recognized her great abilities, and bestowed upon her the Sorcerer Battalion. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled to find out what lies beneath that quiet gaze.

Voice Actor: Tetsuo Genda
Imperial Army Vice Chief of Staff for Operations
Rank: Brigadier General
He's a military man with a passion not found in Brigadier General Zettois, and he's a bold character who truly makes you think that important people have that kind of indescribable aura. It seems he and Brigadier General Zettois, introduced earlier, are classmates in the same empire. As Brigadier Generals of the same year, we can get a glimpse of their fierce rivalry in the past.
Erich von Lergen

Voice Actor: Shinichiro Miki
Imperial Army Operations Staff Officer
Rank: Lieutenant Colonel
He's an elite soldier with striking glasses. He's extremely wary of Tanya, but that's not surprising, as he's currently a central figure in the Imperial Army and knew her from her days at military academy. During that time, Tanya attempted to kill a junior colleague who disobeyed orders and engaged in other outrageous behavior, which led him to believe that it would be dangerous for her to rise in power within the military.
Adelheid von Schugel
Voice Actor: Nobuo Tobita
Chief of the Imperial Army's Technology Development Department

Tanya calls him "Doctor," and even Tanya is frightened by his madness. While he was unsure whether he was a genius or a madman, he received a revelation from Existence X, and seems to have become a true genius. I hope he continues to manipulate Tanya with his genius and madness.
#Unique Characters Beyond the Empire
Anson Sue
Voice Actor: Kenyu Horiuchi
Allied Forces 5th Aerial Mage Battalion
Rank: Colonel
He was a man trusted by his subordinates and had excellent leadership skills, but after encountering Tanya on her first battle and having his unit annihilated, he became a demon of revenge.
His revelation of Existence X and his approach to Tanya were deeply moving.
He was a valuable soldier who taught me the cruelty of war.
Mary Sue
Voice Actor: Haruka Tomatsu
Anson Sue's daughter, she holds a deep grudge against Tanya, convinced that she killed her father after she saw Tanya use the gun she gave her father. It will be interesting to see if she becomes Tanya's greatest rival.
Existence X
Voice Actor: Unknown
After Tanya accused him of calling himself a god, he has been trying various things to regain Tanya's faith. His frantic efforts can be considered a cute point, depending on how you look at it. One interesting aspect of this series is that the voice actors' identities haven't been made public, which may be a sign of direction.
Summary
Some of the names are almost magical and difficult to remember, but once you memorize them and understand the characters' backgrounds, the series becomes even more interesting. I encourage you to try and memorize them.
