The god's role in the series is to also likely represent the fight of good and evil, through which two characters of opposing sides and conflicting themes clash with each other in deadly combat. Fittingly enough, the members of the Organization are evil foils and counterparts of the protagonists, themed in accordance to their prey's own themes.

* '''Duke and Balga''': Both are of blood descended from those most notable and influential in the history of Europe, with Duke hailing from France, and Balga hailing from Norway.
** Despite fictional clans and and families, European history states that the remnants and descendants of Norse invaders fought over sovereignty since the eve of the Viking Age on the soil of Normandy and Western France, being granted territory, while culturally assimilated into the hold of Christian monarchy and knighthood to subdue them under soft power and negotiation. Amongst Balga's backstory, he is likely a descendant of Norman dukedom who are still committed to their Norse invader roots, despite his use of knight-like swordsmanship and martial arts, and his family is likely highly committed to the destruction of the Rambert family due to many of the battles and political intrigue on the soil of Francia, against them on the battlefield from attempts to hold reign in said realm for centuries.
** Through this, both hold themes of honor and reflection; where Duke's family has maintained the peace and stability of his beloved home of France, defending its shores and watching its people with an ever vigilant and caring eye, his heritage and their outlook motivates him to fight with honorable chivalry and courtly gentlemanly behavior, where Balga desires the goals of his own family, unable to swallow centuries of defeat with humility and honor, instead tenaciously desiring to do anything in their power to defeat and outright obliterate their opposition any means necessary, showcased in his fighting manners, using dishonorable attacks like kicks, has attacks indicating a sort of crazed and bloodlust like mentality, ie Nightmare Splash, Killing Sword, Genocide Crusher, and whose said family is hinted to have also been in league with the Organization centuries ago since.

* Abel: Toshinden's themes of rooting villainous characters with godly and saintly names has its ties to its title meaning of "Warrior God's Teachings", in that through what trials they present, the cast comes to learn and understand in the conflicts they are forced to overcome. Being the first victim of murder by Cain, Abel in some traditions was martyred as the patron saint of victims and the first martyr, in some cases crying for vengeance and the destruction of all of Cain's descendants. In a twist of roles, where Kayin is the one whose actions of killing is attempted to be repented for actively, Abel in this case is presented as a vengeful, actively malicious individual, who wishes for the world to be reborn and purified, from a world he sees as tainted and corrupted. Whatever his motivations, instead of finding solace with what isn't wrong with the world or has promise, he instead turns to preying on the world's faults for his own gains, sacrificing youths and children for their blood to be used in magic, and actively desiring "Judgment Day" by seeking out the evocation and revival of a god for their evil purposes of rebirthing the world through magic and bloodshed. This also has its ties to a parable of Jesus and Abel within the Christian Bible, in that the blood of Christ is considered more promising as Jesus's deed of dying on the cross as sacrifice for all of men for mercy was out of his own compassion, rather than of the Old Testament's themes of brutality and vengeance brought about from Abel's death.

In another theming, Leon's attitudes on how "The Strong Eat the Weak" and "Kill or Be Killed", particularly in US society, is something of a growing concern; while Social Darwinism was once popular in the past pre World War II, actively or obliviously far right minded pockets of the US population into the current day still carry extreme sentiments of individualism, from "If you are poor, that is your own fault", "Might Makes Right", "We're right, everyone else is wrong", to even justifying injustices, prejudices, and social inequalities as "that's the way the world is". While the societal aspects of the Iron Cage may allow order, it is still a jungle within where cruel sacrifices and the neglected becoming vindictively dangerous still is everyday occurrence.

==Agon Theos and the Human Sacrifice Conspiracy==
*Leon: The concept of a "bully" and a general idea for a villainous figure. Runs with a gang of bigger, badder thugs, belligerent and always having it in for his victim, enjoys tormenting and the idea of mercilessly imposing himself onto his targets. These are traits synonymous with bullies practically anywhere in the world, and his street gang like appearance, engagement in unsavory antisocial activities, and constant cocky smirk with constant blue streak of rude lewd and crude language doesn't help him not look anymore menacing. While human sacrifice in general definition wouldn't hold up, it's figurative in this case, harming and actively antagonizing another human being for own's own pleasure, and while the milder
*Ten Count: The general idea for a hitman, and themes of social intrigues turning bloody, especially in modern day society. The law may ban human sacrifice, but evil has no boundaries. Politicians and figures of power threatened by individuals who can possibly unravel everything they've built up with both their legit and unsavory practices? Those who are taint with corruption and play the mask well if they find themselves in a bind? They can go to the darker side of things and ensure that "something bad" will happen to said obstacle or threat that can possibly be their undoing.

*Balga: Viking heritage and the darker side of Nordic practices, being that of slavery and human sacrifice. While criminals were often used to appease Odin, the general practice of slavery was commonplace in Viking society, whether it be those proved weaker in their own society, or stolen rights as an individual made null by force through war and pillaging. Should the criminal stock run out, it had been documented that slaves were the next choice of preference for religious offerings, and while this was often avoided, in times of desperation and hardships of exceptional occasion, children were sacrificed for a better turnout.
*Atahua: The human sacrifice practiced by the Incas, and a theme most similar to that of Peter Pan, being that of the dilemma of the Indians VS the Lost Boys.

[[folder: '''The God Agon Theos''']]
A main antagonist figure in the series, while not seen, Agon Theos is the god of the Organization, whom its members seek to serve and appease, through magic and ritual sacrifice.
While not mentioned in any way of its own origins, its name is Greek in origin.
Agon Theos, is a name that can be translated as literally, “God of Agons/Conflict”.
Agon itself is an ancient Greek word that has several and very influential root meanings.
*One definition is that it refers to is of competition of many fields, from athletics and racing, to even literature and music, especially during festivals and religious based events, including the Olympics.
*In ancient Greek literature, the word means of the struggle with in a work, which the forces of good and evil come to clash over, and add moving action and drama to the overall story. In plays in ancient Greece, it also meant a debate of views and sides through which the protagonist and antagonist had, and which the crowd themselves came to judge upon.
*In The Western Canon by Harold Bloom, the term agon refers to the attempt by a writer to resolve an intellectual conflict between his ideas, and the ideas of an influential predecessor, in which "the larger swallows the smaller".
*In sociopolitical theory, the word agon can refer to the idea that conflict between two opposing forces can bring about beneficial growth and progress.
*In the pantheons of Ancient Greece, Agon is also a minor god, said to be the embodiment and divine manifestation of contests and competition. Inevitably, his icon is located in Olympia.
The god's role in the series is to also likely represent the fight of good and evil, through which two characters of opposing sides and conflicting themes clash with each other in deadly combat. Fittingly enough, the members of the Organization are evil foils and counterparts of the protagonists, themed in accordance to their prey's own themes.
The themes themselves are also worth doting upon, as most of them make sense through real life symbolical dualistic concepts and even through iconic popular culture, pitting idea versus idea against another and even coming to an aesop through the victor of the deadly battle. Even the antagonist himself, also deals with the phenomenon and noumenon of dualism and twin sided conflict that Agon Theos brings about through its influence.

*Sofia
**'''''Personality''''' – A Russian Ojou-like noblewoman, but also with humanity and self carrying heartfeltness. Greatly enjoys the company of humble and modest people, as hubris and overtly proud people are what she despises and dislikes entirely. While beautiful, has a deep philosophy and belief on beauty, that you must take care of it and is a great responsibility.
**'''''Background''''' – A private investigator with amnesia regarding the KGB and the Secret Society, Sofia has made her way to the Toshinden countless times to uncover her past, but without no avail or success. While she is enemies with Zola, she does not remember this.
**'''''Attack Themes''''' - Many bear a deep, nature related, and inner and outer beauty invoking theme about them, from Aurora Revolution, Thunder Ring, and some also bear a theme of love and romance, from Love Lover to Call Me Queen. Very modest invoking, yet also truthful and beautiful by themselves, while indicating a sort of refined taste.
**'''''Character Themes''''' – While scantily clad and wielding a whip, she is not signified to be whorish, and appears to resemble more of an Upper Class Callgirl to aid with her investigation activities; while admitted to be a sort of bondage character, she likely represents Bondage and Discipline in the acronym BDSM, as hinted by her dislike for self absorbed and overly proud people; this is further hinted to her attack Call Me Queen, to instill a sort of humility and modesty into her clients. She also appears to have great skill in rhythmic gymnastics and dancing, with her aptitude shown in her attacks, and is said to be highly skilled in piano, having been taught in Chopin's pieces.
*Zola
**'''''Personality''''' – While appearing to be graceful and beautiful on the outside, Zola is really spiteful and a real femme fatale in her double life as an assassin for the Organization. Was once in a relationship with Amoh, Kayin's foster father, but was ultimately in an unrequited relationship, leaving her bitter. Her love of cats appear to pour into her personality and behavior, even mimicking feline actions.
**'''''Background''''' - A famous opera singer by day, Zola becomes an infamous assassin in the darkness of the criminal underworld and the Organization, alluring her victims before she slays them. Having a past with Sofia, and realizing that she is also needed for the ritual, Zola takes on the task of hunting her.
**'''''Attack Themes''''' – Zola makes use of attacks with flaunting and showy themes, from Flash Prelude and Golden Ballerina, indicating a vain personality. Her Hidden, Super and Desperation Attacks, all have common themes of negative emotions related to romance, from Jealously Symphony and Hatred Waltz.
**'''''Character Themes''''' – Zola's themes all appear to be lifted from Catwoman of Batman, but what helps stand her out is her other traits about her, rather than being a copycat of her basis. Her rivalry towards Sofia also is similar, as Sofia herself is a private investigator like the Dark Knight. Like Sofia, she also appears to have a theme focus related to bondage, but that being Dominance and Sadism of the BSDM acronym, unleashing her bitterness and hatred- And even going too far with her spiteful indulgences.
