* AffablyEvil: Evil? Certainly. But he is rather charming, and he can be civil when the occasion calls for it.
* ChaoticNeutral: He skirts the line between this and ChaoticEvil. He possesses all the cunning and trickery of his father, but with a ruthless, sometimes murderous ambition (and little of the altruism Redgrave displayed).
* CoolMask: He often covers his face with a [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/f32105d3a7139e47624898d9e8170a08/tumblr_ou3yv4CP5r1v06my0o1_1280.jpg demon mask]] etched with Dekn symbols (which appears to be made from bone).

!!The Society of the Purple Rose

[[folder:In General]]
A cult founded by Marchosias Aversen, both to stroke his own ego and to provide a laboratory for his social experiments. They have their own [[https://societyofthepurplerose.tumblr.com/ blog]] (run by IV Sparrow and Penthepoet).

* CultOfPersonality: Is one for Marchosias in the most literal sense, made up of those whose obsessive infatuation with him has slipped into religious devotion.
* FloralThemeNaming: When interacting with others on the group's blog, members use names taken from various types of roses (Hybrid-Tea, Hildesheim, etc).
* MindRape: All of the members suffer from this. The final round (which fully erases their former identity) is often the last step of their initiation.
* NotUsedToFreedom: What happens if they [[CultDefector get out.]]
* PropertyOfLove: Literally: the core doctrine of the Society is that all members thereof belong to Marchosias, whom they refer to as "God-Emperor Elucidis."
* ReligionOfEvil: They were created solely so that Marchosias can enjoy being worshiped by those he's [[MindRape mind raped]]. Members are expected to please their "God Emperor" in [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil all ways]]; those who fail to do so are sometimes [[HumanSacrifice sacrificed]] (i.e. murdered). Oh, and they hold an annual gala to recruit new members [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and raise money, when they're already absurdly wealthy]].
* SecretCircleOfSecrets: Very much resembles one of these (despite its existence being fairly common knowledge in the Elevrium), with its robed disciples and oddly sexual [[HumanSacrifice sacrificial rituals]].
* StepfordSmiler: A side effect of GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul during "initiation."

!!!Current Members

[[folder: High Priest Hildesheim Rose]]
!![[spoiler: Malistrade "Hildesheim Rose" Imsarrah]]

[[spoiler:Marchosias' Consort within the Dekn Court]], and the High Priest of the Purple Rose. He also acts as a moderator on the group's official blog.
----
* DevotedToYou: Has a somewhat different relationship with Marchosias than the others, [[spoiler:having been a Consort long before he became a High Priest]], so his proclamations of loyalty tend to be a bit less abstract and more personal than the others'.
* TheLeader: Is this in Marchosias' absence. That is, until [[spoiler:the withdrawal kicks in]]...
* LikeASonToMe: Sees himself as a father figure to Timothée.
* [[{{Seers}} Seer]]: His main psychic ability is future sight.
* YouNeverDidThatForMe: The source of most of his jealousy towards Shanna Averil is because he feels that she was elevated to a position above his, and receives privileges that he doesn't on account of this.

[[folder:High Companion Hybrid-Tea]]
!![[spoiler:Penperin "Hybrid-Tea" Ilsenthe]]

The High Companion of Marchosias within the Society of the Purple Rose. She also acts as a moderator on the group's official blog.
----
* ClingyJealousGirl: Her entire personality, after Marchosias gets ahold of her. ''Especially'' after Shanna is introduced to the group. It becomes so severe that she needs to be taken for "re-education".
* GenkiGirl: ''Extremely.'' Her overuse of exclamation points and kaomoji on the Purple Rose blog make her seem so cheerful as to be off-putting to anyone who stumbles upon her posts.
* HappinessInMindControl: Appears to be this trope on any occasion when [[https://societyofthepurplerose.tumblr.com/post/187097280156/by-deebolus-ilsenthe-is-that-really-you people from her former life attempt to contact her.]]
* LoveMartyr: Her role as "High Companion" is essentially this.
* NightmareFetishist: Every description of her relationship with her "God-Emperor" comes across as this. Her treatment at his hands is horrific at best, and she speaks of it with the kind of rapturous joy that would make most hardcore kinksters blush.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Can turn an innocent (insofar as any Purple Rose discussion is "innocent") discussion on the Society's rite of induction into a rant about the time she was almost sacrificed-- and enjoyed every second of it! ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ -- and everyone is fine with this.

[[folder:Herald Damask]]
!!Shanna "Damask" Perivelis Averil
->'''Appears In:''' ''The Siren's Saga''

The former Herald of the Society of the Purple Rose. A Dekn singer-songwriter, she is the only known Dekn (aside from Marchosias himself) to possess the power of Persuasive Speech. For tropes related to her, see her folder [[Characters/ArknLegacyErsis here]].

[[folder:Counselor Montezuma]]
!!Ciaran "Montezuma" Savatier

A counselor and moderator on the Society's blog.
----
* PsychoPsychologist: As Counselor, his duty is allegedly to provide "emotional support" to Purple Rose members in need of it. What he actually does is reinforce their conditioning and obedience to Marchosias by any means necessary.
* StalkingIsLove: His relationship with Hybrid-Tea is a lot like this.

[[folder:Messenger Royal Sunset]]
!!Lysandra "Royal Sunset" Myrrine

The Messenger of the Purple Rose. She was formerly a moderator on the Society's blog, until leaving the blog after being outed as disloyal by Hybrid-Tea. She was replaced by Falstaff.
----
* [[ConMan Con Woman]]: When we first meet her, she's pretending to be able to contact the dead in order to scam grieving Dekn out of their money. She's also beginning to build up a cult of her own, isolating her frequent customers from their family and friends to make them more dependent on her services.
* DeceptiveDisciple: Is this to Marchosias, as her infatuation with him is heavily tempered by her desire to have the power and influence that he has.
* EvilCounterpart: To Moirah Averil. She's every bit as adventurous, reckless, and ambitious... and a morally bankrupt sociopath with cult leader aspirations.
* MadnessMantra: After her "reprogramming" in Altamir'zin, [[EmptyShell "I am nothing and he is all..."]]
* PhonyPsychic: DoubleSubverted. Before she joins the Society, she makes her living scamming the grieving, by pretending to channel their lost loved ones. However, the reason she is able to do this so convincingly is because she's a talented telepath and mind reader.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Messenger Falstaff]]
!!Arika "Falstaff" Caelan

Lysandra's replacement as Messenger of the Purple Rose, and the head of their child indoctrination experiment.
----
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She is introduced as a sweet, somewhat socially awkward individual who only wants to be noticed and accepted, but she's soon revealed to have a passive-aggressive, jealous, and downright cruel side.
* EvilTeacher: Her role as the head of Purple Rose's child indoctrination experiment has shades of this, including putting a very young child in strict isolation for the crime of daring to say hello to her mother in the one-shot ''Scenes from the Diary of Ollistra Andelyn.''
* IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: Is this to Marchosias, constantly striving to no avail to get and keep his attention. In the Purple Rose blog post "[[https://societyofthepurplerose.tumblr.com/post/187978974146/he-noticed-me He noticed me!]]," it's revealed that he's intentionally ignoring her because he enjoys seeing how far she'll go for him.
* WouldHurtAChild: Somewhat [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. She always seems to be very gentle and kind to the children in her care, but at the same time, has no qualms about dealing out harsh punishments that cause permanent psychological damage.

* CultDefector: Leaves the Society of the Purple Rose and becomes part of a [[LaResistance support network]] of other defectors.
* HopelessSuitor: Appears to be this to Shanna when both of them are inside Purple Rose, as the object of his affection is too deeply brainwashed to return his feelings at this point in time. He has a bit of an easier time getting her attention when Marchosias isn't monopolizing it.
* OnlySaneMan: Can give off the impression of being this sometimes. He's certainly the one with the most hold on his pre-Purple Rose identity, and therefore the most capable of maintaining stability. When he leaves the Society, he has an easier time resuming his former life (as opposed to Shanna, who struggles.)

[[folder:General]]

[[/folder]]


!!Galliptis Dekn
A desert region which is home to many a Dekn settlement.

!!!Laen
The hold city of Galliptis. Originally founded as an U.M.E.E.C. base, it grew to include many amenities, and has become a popular tourist destination for Dekn and humans alike.

The powerful and brutal head of the Persophelus [[TheMafia Sanguinal'estiere]] crime family. The son of Jacques Redgrave, he controls the black market for Rethryc crystals (and established [[BloodSport Blood Flags]] just for the purpose of laundering them).
----
* TheChessmaster: Naturally. It's a trait he acquired from his father.
* TheDon: He's the head of the Persophelum crime family.
* TheMafia: Runs the most powerful family in the Sanguinal'estiere (or "Sanguineaux'estiere", as it is known in the Dekn dialect), which is comparable to the Sicilian Mafia.
* MoralSociopathy: Seemingly operates according to this. He started with the goal of protecting his people from being exploited by the Arkn, and currently aims to provide the Dekn with Rethryc crystals (which they wouldn't otherwise have access to). However, he gives little thought to the many individuals he's had to extort, exploit, torture, or murder along the way -- including other Dekn.
* ThePatriarch: He acts as such to the Persophelums. His (unofficial) title, "Elbaset", even means "father".
* SharpDressedMan: [[TheWikiRule The wiki]] mentions that he's a sharp dresser, and very particular about his appearance. When the family was first founded, he would sometimes dress in his flashiest clothes and stand outside of a business he was extorting, just to remind them of who was "in charge".

Belial is the former Dekn General and Dekn Master of Sight and War, and the current leader of the Scarred Marauders.
----
* AFatherToHisMen: Stated to be this pre-exile, and implied to even occasionally be like this towards the Scarred Marauders post-exile.
* TheBrigadier: Was this before his exile. Franz Faust says he was a kind and reasonable man, and compassionate towards his soldiers. This is demonstrated in the "Master of War" one-shot: when a certain Dekn General goes to Belial and asks to leave the army so he can raise his new-born child, Belial states that the man would be provided with a pension and he won't hold it against him. Later Subverted after Belial's exile.
* ColdSniper: It's been stated multiple times that Belial is able to shoot a man's head open from several miles away.
* TheExile: Marchosias framed him for high treason, causing him to be exiled to Destrus.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite Belial's exile, (and his often abusive nature towards some of his Marauders,) the "Master of War" one-shot reveals that Belial deeply loves his son Maigrir and hopes that Maigrir [[EvilParentsWantGoodKids turns out better than he did.]]
* FromCamouflageToCriminal: Belial ended up using his experience as Master of War to make a very, ''very'' dangerous group of bandits and murderers known as the Scarred Marauders.

Shanna Averil's aunt. She first who appears as a minor character, offering advice and encouragement to several other characters anonymously on Tumblr. Eventually, her true intentions -- to find and rescue Shanna from her captors -- are revealed. She is officially employed in a diplomatic role at U.M.E.E.C., but she uses this role as a cover for her actual work of gathering and selling information.
----
* ActionGirl: Although she hires assistants for some jobs, she's not above doing her own work, especially when the work in question entails taking down someone she feels deserves it.
* KnowledgeBroker: She uses her position in U.M.E.E.C. as a cover for this.
* MamaBear: Is this to Shanna (and anyone else she comes to consider family).
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Has one of these moments after her actions cause [[NaiveEverygirl Laurien Adaire]] to be indoctrinated into Purple Rose.
* PerkyGoth: Her corporate-Goth style is often at odds with her cheerful and enthusiastic personality.
* PragmaticHero: DownplayedTrope. She shows a great amount of concern for her assistants and workers, but she was ''also'' willing to [[spoiler: put Laurien Adaire at risk of falling in with the Purple Rose cult]] in order to have a chance at finding more information on her niece's location.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Her connections in U.M.E.E.C., SEEKER, and the black market are often leveraged to provide her with access to locations and information she'd never be able to access otherwise.
* WeHelpTheHelpless: Though she sells information to anyone willing to pay, she will occasionally help those in need free of charge.

A member of the Arkn Ethric Guild. While attempting to infiltrate the Society of the Purple Rose to check up on Shannah Averil, she ended up being brainwashed by Marchosias Aversen and was initiated into Purple Rose. She shares [[TwinTelepathy a rare psychic bond]] with her twin brother, Laen.

* AffectionateNickname: Laen calls her "Lauri".
* BreakTheCutie: Undergoes this during her initiation into the Society of the Purple Rose.
* NaiveEverygirl: Upon joining Tumblr, she almost immediately begins conversing with (and befriends) an anonymous Dekn cult member simply because they seem "civil" and claim to be working towards "religious and social reform in the Elevrium". A short time later, she rather stupidly agrees to infiltrate said cult for the sake of rescuing someone she doesn't know.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Laen's Blue. She's far more outgoing (and outspoken) than her brother.

However, he gives little thought to the many individuals he's had to extort, exploit, torture, or murder along the way -- including other Dekn.
* ThePatriarch: He acts as such to the Persophelums. His (unofficial) title, "Elbaset", even means "father".
* SharpDressedMan: [[TheWikiRule The wiki]] mentions that he's a sharp dresser, and very particular about his appearance. When the family was first founded, he would sometimes dress in his flashiest clothes and stand outside of a business he was extorting, just to remind them of who was "in charge".

Belial is the former Dekn General and Dekn Master of Sight and War, and the current leader of the Scarred Marauders.
----
* AFatherToHisMen: Stated to be this pre-exile, and implied to even occasionally be like this towards the Scarred Marauders post-exile.
* TheBrigadier: Was this before his exile. Franz Faust says he was a kind and reasonable man, and compassionate towards his soldiers. This is demonstrated in the "Master of War" one-shot: when a certain Dekn General goes to Belial and asks to leave the army so he can raise his new-born child, Belial states that the man would be provided with a pension and he won't hold it against him. Later Subverted after Belial's exile.
* ColdSniper: It's been stated multiple times that Belial is able to shoot a man's head open from several miles away.
* TheExile: Marchosias framed him for high treason, causing him to be exiled to Destrus.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite Belial's exile, (and his often abusive nature towards some of his Marauders,) the "Master of War" one-shot reveals that Belial deeply loves his son Maigrir and hopes that Maigrir [[EvilParentsWantGoodKids turns out better than he did.]]
* FromCamouflageToCriminal: Belial ended up using his experience as Master of War to make a very, ''very'' dangerous group of bandits and murderers known as the Scarred Marauders.
* FrontlineGeneral: Heavily implied to be this.
* HairTriggerTemper: He is known for having a ''very'' short, and hot, temper.
* ParentalAbandonment: Belial left behind a son when he was exiled.

Shanna Averil's aunt. She first who appears as a minor character, offering advice and encouragement to several other characters anonymously on Tumblr. Eventually, her true intentions -- to find and rescue Shanna from her captors -- are revealed. She is officially employed in a diplomatic role at U.M.E.E.C., but she uses this role as a cover for her actual work of gathering and selling information.
----
* ActionGirl: Although she hires assistants for some jobs, she's not above doing her own work, especially when the work in question entails taking down someone she feels deserves it.
* KnowledgeBroker: She uses her position in U.M.E.E.C. as a cover for this.
* MamaBear: Is this to Shanna (and anyone else she comes to consider family).
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Has one of these moments after her actions cause [[NaiveEverygirl Laurien Adaire]] to be indoctrinated into Purple Rose.
* PerkyGoth: Her corporate-Goth style is often at odds with her cheerful and enthusiastic personality.
* PragmaticHero: DownplayedTrope. She shows a great amount of concern for her assistants and workers, but she was ''also'' willing to [[spoiler: put Laurien Adaire at risk of falling in with the Purple Rose cult]] in order to have a chance at finding more information on her niece's location.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Her connections in U.M.E.E.C., SEEKER, and the black market are often leveraged to provide her with access to locations and information she'd never be able to access otherwise.

[[folder:The Imperial Court]]

!!Emperor Jacques Redgrave, né Persophelus Redgrave

The former head of the Persophelum Renegade from Universe A who crossed over into Universe X, becoming the first Dekn Emperor.

* TheAgeless: Dekn from Universe A were immortal, so this is unsurprising.

!!!The Dekn Court

[[folder: Court of Masters]]
A [[StandardRoyalCourt group]] of Dekn Masters who act as the utmost authorities on various specific matters within the Empire. For tropes related to them, see [[Characters/ArknLegacyDeknMasters here.]]

!!The Society of the Purple Rose

[[folder:In General]]
A cult founded by Marchosias Aversen, both to stroke his own ego and to provide a laboratory for his social experiments. They have their own [[https://societyofthepurplerose.tumblr.com/ blog]] (run by IV Sparrow and Penthepoet).

* CultOfPersonality: Is one for Marchosias in the most literal sense, made up of those whose obsessive infatuation with him has slipped into religious devotion.
* FloralThemeNaming: When interacting with others on the group's blog, members use names taken from various types of roses (Hybrid-Tea, Hildesheim, etc).
* MindRape: All of the members suffer from this. The final round (which fully erases their former identity) is often the last step of their initiation.
* NotUsedToFreedom: What happens if they [[CultDefector get out.]]
* PropertyOfLove: Literally: the core doctrine of the Society is that all members thereof belong to Marchosias, whom they refer to as "God-Emperor Elucidis."
* ReligionOfEvil: They were created solely so that Marchosias can enjoy being worshiped by those he's [[MindRape mind raped]]. Members are expected to please their "God Emperor" in [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil all ways]]; those who fail to do so are sometimes [[HumanSacrifice sacrificed]] (i.e. murdered). Oh, and they hold an annual gala to recruit new members [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and raise money, when they're already absurdly wealthy]].
* SecretCircleOfSecrets: Very much resembles one of these (despite its existence being fairly common knowledge in the Elevrium), with its robed disciples and oddly sexual [[HumanSacrifice sacrificial rituals]].
* StepfordSmiler: A side effect of GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul during "initiation."

!!!Current Members

[[folder: High Priest Hildesheim Rose]]
!![[spoiler: Malistrade "Hildesheim Rose" Imsarrah]]

[[spoiler:Marchosias' Consort within the Dekn Court]], and the High Priest of the Purple Rose. He also acts as a moderator on the group's official blog.

* DevotedToYou: Has a somewhat different relationship with Marchosias than the others, [[spoiler:having been a Consort long before he became a High Priest]], so his proclamations of loyalty tend to be a bit less abstract and more personal than the others'.
* TheLeader: Is this in Marchosias' absence. That is, until [[spoiler:the withdrawal kicks in]]...
* LikeASonToMe: Sees himself as a father figure to Timothée.
* [[{{Seers}} Seer]]: His main psychic ability is future sight.
* YouNeverDidThatForMe: The source of most of his jealousy towards Shanna Averil is because he feels that she was elevated to a position above his, and receives privileges that he doesn't on account of this.

[[folder:High Companion Hybrid-Tea]]
!![[spoiler:Penperin "Hybrid-Tea" Ilsenthe]]

The High Companion of Marchosias within the Society of the Purple Rose. She also acts as a moderator on the group's official blog.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Her entire personality, after Marchosias gets ahold of her. ''Especially'' after Shanna is introduced to the group. It becomes so severe that she needs to be taken for "re-education".
* GenkiGirl: ''Extremely.'' Her overuse of exclamation points and kaomoji on the Purple Rose blog make her seem so cheerful as to be off-putting to anyone who stumbles upon her posts.
* HappinessInMindControl: Appears to be this trope on any occasion when [[https://societyofthepurplerose.tumblr.com/post/187097280156/by-deebolus-ilsenthe-is-that-really-you people from her former life attempt to contact her.]]
* LoveMartyr: Her role as "High Companion" is essentially this.
* NightmareFetishist: Every description of her relationship with her "God-Emperor" comes across as this. Her treatment at his hands is horrific at best, and she speaks of it with the kind of rapturous joy that would make most hardcore kinksters blush.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Can turn an innocent (insofar as any Purple Rose discussion is "innocent") discussion on the Society's rite of induction into a rant about the time she was almost sacrificed-- and enjoyed every second of it! ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ -- and everyone is fine with this.

[[folder: Innocent Moss Rose]]
!!Laurien "Moss Rose" Adaire
->'''Appears In:''' ''Feathered Iridescent'' (blog), ''Muses and Magick'' (blog)

->''It's strange, having him gone from me. I still feel him at the edges sometimes, trying to force his way back in, but it's getting easier to keep him out. It's for his own good after all.''

A member of the Arkn Ethric Guild. While attempting to infiltrate the Society of the Purple Rose to check up on Shannah Averil, she ended up being brainwashed by Marchosias Aversen and was initiated into Purple Rose. She shares [[TwinTelepathy a rare psychic bond]] with her twin brother, Laen.

* AffectionateNickname: Laen calls her "Lauri".
* BreakTheCutie: Undergoes this during her initiation into the Society of the Purple Rose.
* NaiveEverygirl: Upon joining Tumblr, she almost immediately begins conversing with (and befriends) an anonymous Dekn cult member simply because they seem "civil" and claim to be working towards "religious and social reform in the Elevrium". A short time later, she rather stupidly agrees to infiltrate said cult for the sake of rescuing someone she doesn't know.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Laen's Blue. She's far more outgoing (and outspoken) than her brother.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Though she is a fully grown adult, she is very intentionally treated as a young child by both Marchosias and other members of the Society, even being given the title of "Innocent," which is usually only used to refer to children.
* TwinTelepathy: Has this with her brother, Laen. It was brought about when both siblings made contact with an antique of some kind (given to the twins by their father).

[[folder:Counselor Montezuma]]
!!Ciaran "Montezuma" Savatier

A counselor and moderator on the Society's blog.

* PsychoPsychologist: As Counselor, his duty is allegedly to provide "emotional support" to Purple Rose members in need of it. What he actually does is reinforce their conditioning and obedience to Marchosias by any means necessary.
* StalkingIsLove: His relationship with Hybrid-Tea is a lot like this.

[[folder:Messenger Royal Sunset]]
!!Lysandra "Royal Sunset" Myrrine

The Messenger of the Purple Rose. She was formerly a moderator on the Society's blog, until leaving the blog after being outed as disloyal by Hybrid-Tea. She was replaced by Falstaff.

* [[ConMan Con Woman]]: When we first meet her, she's pretending to be able to contact the dead in order to scam grieving Dekn out of their money. She's also beginning to build up a cult of her own, isolating her frequent customers from their family and friends to make them more dependent on her services.
* DeceptiveDisciple: Is this to Marchosias, as her infatuation with him is heavily tempered by her desire to have the power and influence that he has.
* EvilCounterpart: To Moirah Averil. She's every bit as adventurous, reckless, and ambitious... and a morally bankrupt sociopath with cult leader aspirations.
* MadnessMantra: After her "reprogramming" in Altamir'zin, [[EmptyShell "I am nothing and he is all..."]]
* PhonyPsychic: DoubleSubverted. Before she joins the Society, she makes her living scamming the grieving, by pretending to channel their lost loved ones. However, the reason she is able to do this so convincingly is because she's a talented telepath and mind reader.

[[folder:Messenger Falstaff]]
!!Arika "Falstaff" Caelan

Lysandra's replacement as Messenger of the Purple Rose, and the head of their child indoctrination experiment.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She is introduced as a sweet, somewhat socially awkward individual who only wants to be noticed and accepted, but she's soon revealed to have a passive-aggressive, jealous, and downright cruel side.
* EvilTeacher: Her role as the head of Purple Rose's child indoctrination experiment has shades of this, including putting a very young child in strict isolation for the crime of daring to say hello to her mother in the one-shot ''Scenes from the Diary of Ollistra Andelyn.''
* IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: Is this to Marchosias, constantly striving to no avail to get and keep his attention. In the Purple Rose blog post "[[https://societyofthepurplerose.tumblr.com/post/187978974146/he-noticed-me He noticed me!]]," it's revealed that he's intentionally ignoring her because he enjoys seeing how far she'll go for him.
* WouldHurtAChild: Somewhat [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. She always seems to be very gentle and kind to the children in her care, but at the same time, has no qualms about dealing out harsh punishments that cause permanent psychological damage.

[[folder:Timothée Solal]]
!!Timothée Solal
->'''Appears In:''' ''The Siren's Saga''

The former Counselor of the Purple Rose, who refused to adopt a title.

* CameraFiend: Loves photography, and is quite good at it. During his time as Counselor, he is often seen taking photos of other Purple Rose members.
* CultDefector: Leaves the Society of the Purple Rose and becomes part of a [[LaResistance support network]] of other defectors.
* HopelessSuitor: Appears to be this to Shanna when both of them are inside Purple Rose, as the object of his affection is too deeply brainwashed to return his feelings at this point in time. He has a bit of an easier time getting her attention when Marchosias isn't monopolizing it.
* OnlySaneMan: Can give off the impression of being this sometimes. He's certainly the one with the most hold on his pre-Purple Rose identity, and therefore the most capable of maintaining stability. When he leaves the Society, he has an easier time resuming his former life (as opposed to Shanna, who struggles.)

* TheDon: He's the head of the Persophelum crime family.
* TheMafia: Runs the most powerful family in the Sanguinal'estiere (or "Sanguineaux'estiere", as it is known in the Dekn dialect), which is comparable to the Sicilian Mafia.

He started with the goal of protecting his people from being exploited by the Arkn, and currently aims to provide the Dekn with Rethryc crystals (which they wouldn't otherwise have access to).

* ThePatriarch: He acts as such to the Persophelums. His (unofficial) title, "Elbaset", even means "father".
* SharpDressedMan: [[TheWikiRule The wiki]] mentions that he's a sharp dresser, and very particular about his appearance.
