Well, ignoring the fact that they hail from the fourth entry in their critically acclaimed RPG series, both of them are manipulative anti-villains of mixed heritage who, in contrary to the Empire-alligned protagonist, are competent swordsmen with a preference for their game's equivalent to offensive magics. They spent a good chunk of the game manipulating the heroes into doing their dirty work, and were completely unstopable in their schemes... but in a rather tragic and ironic twist, were nothing but pawns in the grand scheme of things, suffering from mental manipulation at the hands of Manfroy and Zemus thanks to their Loptousian and Lunarian heritage. As such, after their goals were realized and you meet them again after the timeskip, they are wrecked with guilt over their actions, though this let to opposing ends; Arvis willingly died at Seliph's hands, leaving the latter to fix what he broke. Golbez, on the other hand, joined the heroes, and sought to personally atone for his sins.
