History Characters / ArknightsEnemies

* BloodKnight: He comments at the end of Chapter 12 how he hasn't faced a foe [[spoiler:in a long while to thrill him, so he's itching to fight the Nachzehrer King]]. The Duke of Caster claims that even when he was younger, he was always eager for a fight, while in Episode 14, she further claims that giving him the position of Duke was actually an attempt to ''curb'' his warmongering tendencies.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: She claims she acts the way she does in order to bring "peace and stability" to her subjects.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: He is a tyrannical ruler whe used the colours black and red - the colours of the House of Urtica - in his clothing, in the architecture of his spire and as a general symbol of his reign.

* ProfessorGuineaPig: Kal'tsit believes the reason he went insane is becausaay have been less to do with what he ''did'' and [[GoMadFromTheRevelation more so what he discovered from it]].]]

* ApocalypseCult: In rural Leithanien, there are pockets of secret cults who organize Originium experimentation in order to revive the Originium Arts of the Witch King, Leithania's ancient EvilOverlord. The Arts includes atrocities such as [[HumanResources using the Infected as living 'wands' to channel the Arts]]. This eventually culminates in them [[spoiler:committing mass suicide by throwing themselves into the Witch King's fire when the Genesis Horn manifests]].

* RightfulKingReturns: They believe that the Witch King is still the rightful ruler of Leithania, and that the Twin Empresses illegally usurped him from power, hence why they continue to work in the shadows to bring him back.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Many Leithaniens were fed up with his tyrannic rule, which was why they readily accepted the Twin Empresses when they overthrew him. Zigzagged in that he still retained enough loyalists that even in his absence, they continued to oppose the Twin Empresses in an effort to bring him back.

* ApocalypseCult: It's rumored that there remains an underground cult of Leithaniens still loyal to him, who continue dabbling in forbidden magic and looking for a way to return who they see as their rightful ruler to the throne. The "rumor" turns out to be true in the form of the Witch King's Remnants.

* BullyingADragon: [[spoiler:He's torn open a dimensional rift in the void to hold off the "chaos" and Collapse behind the veil of reality, and is completely confident in his ability to eliminate it at its source and kill its "creator", despite the apocalyptic Collapsals being implied to merely be small fry compared to whatever is beyond. The last section of "Zwillingstürme im Herbst" is closing the rift to his dimension before the Collapse can overrun Leithania.]]

* ProfessorGuineaPig: Kal'tsit believes the reason he went insane is because he directly experimented with Originium himself for so long, leading to his declining mental faculties over the course of his reign. [[spoiler:Although it may have been less to do with what he ''did'' and [[GoMadFromTheRevelation more so what he discovered from it]].]]

* SpeakOfTheDevil: Leithaniens are forbidden from speaking the Witch King's name or even his title for fear of setting off some sort of curse, so he is only referred to by the generic term "His Majesty".

* VillainousVirtues: In spite of his horrific atrocities, the Witch King's reign (particularly in his earlier days before his SanitySlippage) was characterized by him turning Leithania into a meritocracy instead of an aristocracy, where anyone could achieve greatness and recognition regardless of their noble status as long as they were talented and hardworking enough. Given the severely class-segregated state of Leithania in the present, this is one of the reasons why more than a few Leithaniens in the present still harbor reverence for him. However, people who actually knew the Witch King point out that he didn't introduce meritocracy out of any sense of goodwill, but because he [[AGodAmI saw everbody as equally inferior to himself]].

* DyingCurse: [[spoiler:After being stabbed by Biegler, she weakly curses him, Ebenholz, Leithania, and even the Witch King as she is slowly bleeding out on the floor of her house.]]

* MamaBear: [[spoiler:Part of the reason she redeploys her entire army from the Leithanien border to Londinium is all to save her daughter Delphine, who is trapped in Norport.]]

* AchillesHeel: He has tremendous RES, but his DEF stats are rather mediocre. In particular, he's really susceptible to projectiles fired from the Aspect of Creation, especially when the Aspect of Annihilation is attacked by units with high DPS (such as [[MoreDakka Exusiai]]), or when the ASPD buffs are triggered by switching the Tuning Node to the passionate variation, in which it can seriously wittle his health down in a matter of seconds.

* BloodKnight: He comments at the end of Chapter 12 how he hasn't faced a foe [[spoiler:in a long while to thrill him, so he's itching to fight the Nachzehrer King]]. The Duke of Caster notes that even when he was younger, he was always eager for a fight.

* NotSoDifferent: Episode 14 makes a point of comparing him to [[spoiler:the Nachzehrer King, being Victoria's own "God of War" compared to that of the Sarkaz. While the Nachzehrers literally devour the souls and hatred of the fallen to empower themselves, Wellington instead "devours" his opponents by salvaging the weapons and arms from their war machines and amalgamating them into his flagship.]]

* MysteriousBacker: The Duke of Caster is [[spoiler:Allerdale's secret backer, who has given her orders to steal the Sighs of Kings.]] In Chapter 13, Lettou speculates she's also this to [[spoiler: Clovisia.]]

* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:Treats the Nachzehrer King with regard when they confront one another in "Absolved Will Be The Seekers", referring to him by his title as the "God of War and Death" for the Sarkaz before making his stand before him, [[InvincibleVillain and while he has no chance of actually defeating him]], the Nachzehrer King returns the feeling when he puts up a good showing against him.]]

* ProfessorGuineaPig: Kal'tsit believes the reason he went insane is because he directly experimented with Originium himself for so long, leading to his declining mental faculties over the course of his reign.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Many Leithaniens were fed up with his tyrannic rule, which was why they readily accepted the Twin Empresses when they overthrew him.

* AllForNothing: Despite their numerous experiments with the Voice of Mundane, the Remnants [[spoile:were never able to revive the Witch King with it. Fremont points out their attempts were doomed from the start because the Voice of Mundane was never going to be powerful enough to do so]].
