Are you looking for a list of all Dark Envoy companions and where to find and unlock them? Here’s everything you should know.
Other than the two main characters, there are six companions in the game. All of them are unlocked by progressing the main story, so you don’t have to worry about missing anyone.
But one of those six spots comes down to a permanent story choice, and I want to make sure you don’t stumble into it blind. So let’s learn everything about it, as well as at which points of the story you’ll unlock new companions and which ones.
All Dark Envoy Companions and Where to Find Them
Unlocking new companions is essential in Dark Envoy as it allows you to have a greater variety of characters, classes, and specializations. It’s a great way to try new playstyles without changing your main character’s specializations.
Without further delay, let’s go through all the characters in Dark Envoy and where to find and unlock them.
Kaela and Malakai
Kaela and Malakai are your main protagonists and you’ll always start the game with both of them. They are not limited in terms of class or appearance and you’re free to customize them in any way that you prefer.

Benedict
Benedict is a Warrior with the Guardian specialization. He is the first companion you’ll meet, unlocked near the end of the first city in the main story.
Benedict is a great tank who can taunt enemies and draw aggro so your other party members can deal damage undisturbed.
If you’re running a glass cannon setup, he’s a reliable anchor. I find him especially useful in the early and mid-game, when enemies can otherwise tear through your squishier characters.
Sestia, Leon, and Vasso
After reaching the Free City of Phoenicia, Sestia, Leo, and Vasso will join your party at the same time
Sestia is a Ranger with the Bounty Hunter specialization, which makes her a great ranged DPS that focuses on placing traps.
Leon is an Engineer with the Constructor specialization. He has high AoE damage and can summon machines to help him in combat.
Vasso is an Adept with the Combat Medic specialization. She stands out due to her consistently applying debuffs on enemies and having enough healing magic and buffs to keep allies strong and healthy.

Kim and Tet
Kim and Tet are the last two available companions in Dark Envoy, and you can only recruit one of them. They become available when you choose between the League and Empire path in the story, and that choice is permanent, so think carefully before you commit.
If you follow the League path, you’ll unlock Kim, an Adept with the Summoner specialization who deals solid damage and summons elementals to fight alongside her.
If you follow the Empire path, you’ll unlock Tet, a Ranger with the Sharpshooter specialization. He excels at high single-target damage from a long range but lacks mobility.
My personal take: if you already have strong ranged damage covered in your party of four, Kim’s summons add a layer of chaos that I find genuinely fun to play around. But if you want a reliable, predictable burst, Tet is the cleaner choice.
A Note on Party Composition
Since your active party is capped at four characters, you’ll always be leaving someone on the bench.
With Kaela and Malakai as permanent fixtures, that means you’re choosing two companions for every fight. The good news is that you can swap freely between missions, so don’t feel locked in after your first few choices.
A balanced party usually covers tanking (Benedict), healing or support (Vasso), and two damage dealers.
Wrapping up
To summarize, there are six companions in Dark Envoy (eight with the main characters) and you can unlock all of them by progressing the main story.
Keep in mind that you’ll have to choose between Kim and Tet, based on which story path you decide to follow (Empire vs League).
