Characters

007

The cast of Echoes of Aincrad — your customizable avatar, your partner Iori, the info-broker Argo, party members Wyzeman and Saayu, the solo clearer Cal, and the player-killer Stella. Who's who, with voice actors, story line counts, and a link to each one's full AI battle-partner profile — weapon, sword-skill loadout, support skill, and 200-level stat curves.

The canon SAO leads — Kirito and Asuna — are referenced in the game's framing and the character creator, but the story follows your own customizable avatar and the party you build: your partner Iori, the info-broker Argo, the solo clearer Cal, and fellow party members Wyzeman and Saayu — plus the player-killer Stella, the floor's darkest subplot. Line counts below reflect each character's presence in the main story.

Your customizable player character. You build your avatar in the character creator, then set out with your party to beat Sword Art Online — the world that became a death game.

Iori

Partner1466 lines · 331 scenes
Jessica Peterson

An original character created for Echoes of Aincrad and your constant companion through the early floors. Iori meets you at the first junction of Floor 1 and guides you through the death game's opening — by far the most-present voice in the story.

There's more people ahead of us...

Wyzeman

Party Member268 lines · 56 scenes
Kylen Deporter

A polite, level-headed party member. After Stella's player-killer ambush scatters the group, he's the one who owns up to leaving you behind — and has no patience for the streamers who farm views off other players' deaths.

I believe she's one of those despicable streamers who farm views by doing awful things.

Argo

Info BrokerSeries canon217 lines · 44 scenes
Kimberly Ann Campbell

“Argo the Rat,” the legendary information broker of Aincrad and a fan favourite from the original series. True to form she surfaces with rumors and tip-offs — including word of a “mystery monster” on the floor — selling intel to anyone who'll pay.

I’ve heard a rumor about this area...about a "mystery monster."

Cal

Clearer99 lines · 17 scenes

A renowned solo player — known for clearing the High Elven Ruins alone — who joins the front-line group gathering for the Floor 1 boss raid.

Anyways, will we be leaving for the raid soon?

Saayu

Party Member69 lines · 12 scenes
Rebecca Wang

The group's cheerful, warm emotional center — the one who keeps morale up when the floors turn grim and is glad the party came together.

But hey, I'm glad we decided to party up.

Stella

Player Killer18 lines · 3 scenes

The story's antagonist: a player-killer who streams her murders for an audience, hunting others for loot and “content.” Her victims drive one of the floor's darkest beats — proof that in a death game the monsters aren't always the mobs.

Some cool items...and content. Right?
