Crimson Blade (クリムゾン・ブレイド, Kurimuzon Bureido?) is a title bestowed to individuals who are granted special authority by the Queen of Aquaria, a position currently held by Aquaria XXVII.
Crimson Blades are individuals most trusted by the Queen. They can issue orders without needing to go through normal means of authority. They act on the Queen's behalf and their commands can only be countermanded by the monarch herself.
As of the events of Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, the Crimson Blades are comprised of:
- Clair Lasbard, the current bonafide leader of the Crimson Blades, as commander of the Shield Legion (Aquaria's runological military corps.) Subgroups reporting into the Shield Legion's command structure are:
- The Demon Hunter Legion, which was previously charged with the defense of Arias.
- The Chain Legion, charged with the defense of Peterny.
- Nel Zelpher as commander of the Secret Legion (primarly responsible for information gathering). Subgroups reporting into the Secret Legion's command structure are:
- The Legion of the Void, which operates in Greeton.
- The Spectral Legion, which operates in Sanmite Republic.
Both Clair and Nel inherited their duties as Crimson Blades from their fathers, Adray Lasbard and Nevelle Zelpher.

Trivia[]
- Nel and Clair are especially famous for their role as Crimson Blades, not only their native Aquaria, but even in the neighboring Airyglyph. After recruiting Albel, if the player visits Arias en route to Crosell, Albel is found in the conference room where Clair and Nel are stationed, saying he came "to get a look at those famous Crimson Blade members."
- Relatedly, an Aquios NPC reveals that there is an official Crimson Blade fan club, to which he proudly belongs to. The NPC, who calls himself "Ducris, Captain of the Suicide Squad" says the fanclub has over one hundred members and expresses ardent admiration for Nel and Clair's beauty over the course of the game.
