Chapter 10 reveals he is actually WellIntentionedExtremist who wants to not only reunify Kazdel and bring it back to it's [[GloryDays former glory]], but [[DudeWheresMyRespect give the Sarkaz the respect he feels denied to them]] by every other country on the planet. However, he intends to unleash an enormous blitzkrieg across the entirety of Victoria as his opening move, as well as creating a {{Superweapon}} known as the Shard Tower that will let him control Catastrophes from anywhere in the world as a sort of FantasticNuke, [[AMillionIsAStatistic killing millions in the process]] to ensure that no one can threaten the Sarkaz with destruction ever again]].
* BigBad: Revealed to be the main antagonist of Act II, ''Shadow of A Dying Sun'' in Chapter 10—[[TakeOverTheWorld seeking to finally realize his vision of a reunified, stronger Kazdel]] by any means necessary.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Chapter 10 reveals [[spoiler:that Theresis genuinely loves his sister Theresa and regrets her prior death; to the point of becoming uncharactersitically furious with anyone who seeks to potentially humiliate her name with the threat of death, [[EvenEvilHasStandards and was initially opposed to reviving her]] until the Confessarius convinced him otherwise]].
* EvilChancellor: He essentially staged a coup to seize control of Kazdel from its rightful ruling family.
* FalseFlagOperation: He decides to send Sarkaz mercenaries to assist Reunion, as he seeks to use Reunion to sow enough chaos on Terra so that he can seize more political power for himself.
** [[spoiler:Seems to love doing these as his go-to strategy in weakening enemy nations, as Chapter 10 revealed, with him operating [[ArcVillain Dublinn]], unbeknownst to members like [[BigBadWannabe Mandragora]], to create chaos in Victoria to eventually annex into Kazdel while it's crippled]].
* GreaterScopeVillain: While Rhodes Island is busy fighting Reunion, it's revealed that Theresis had a hand in Theresa's death and the disbanding of Babel, and he's currently residing in Victoria to manipulate its politics and seize its throne. He's even taking advantage of Reunion by arming them and reinforcing them with Sarkaz mercenaries to distract his enemies. Not to mention, [[spoiler:he's in possession of Theresa's body and is apparently trying to resurrect her.]]
* IJustWantToBeFree: Says this is his ultimate motivation for not only himself but Sarkaz and Kazdel to [[spoiler:the [[BackFromTheDead revived Theresa]]]], as he wants them to no longer be a divided people exploited by other nations. He believes this so much that he even wants to [[ScrewDestiny defy the prophecy]] of the Lord of Fiends and find a way to control even it instead of the other way around as he wants the Sarkaz to decide their own choices.
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:Chapter 10 reveals that he is the true power behind Dublinn.]]
* MonsterBrotherCutieSister: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]; while he certainly has no onscreen acts of violence yet, he's certainly way less nice than Theresa is and notably lacks her capability to soothe entire hordes of enemies in battle despite them being siblings and him being the current ruling monarch of Kazdel. He has shown to desire this power, which might be related as to why he wants to [[spoiler:revive Theresa]].
* TakeOverTheWorld: His goal is to reunify the splintered Kazdel and, by force, show the world the respect the Sarkaz deserve.
* TheUsurper: He started an entire civil war, just so he can boot his sister Theresa off the throne and claim it for himself.
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:Considers [[PlayerCharacter the Doctor]] to be this after nearly losing the Kazdel Civil War against Babel to them. Even after having secured enormous power, both politically and personally—and is on the verge of completing his [[TakeOverTheWorld ambitious plan of a new world order under a reunified Kazdel]]—considers the reveal that the Doctor is still alive after three years the ''only'' threat to his throne at this point and moves his time table up for all of his plans before they can try to stop him]].

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avg_npc_055.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:''Click to them unmasked.'']]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blzmd40.png[[/labelnote]]]]
One of Theresis' lieutenants who acts as an intermediary between Theresis and Hoederer.
----
* TheDragon: Quite obviously Theresis' second in command or at least a very high ranking lieutenant.
* IdenticalStranger: Physically and clothing wise looks identical to Shining. That's because the latter used to be a part of the Confessarius group. [[spoiler:It's also revealed he looks like a male Shining himself when unmasked in Chapter 10, implying a relationship between the two given his familiarity with Shining's family]].
* MadScientist: [[spoiler:It's revealed that not only was the resurrection of Theresa their idea and not Theresis's originally, but the Confessarius are seeking to harness [[ApocalypseMaiden the power of the Lord of Fiends]] for Theresis by ''any'' means necessary and is quite fascinated by wanting to [[VillainTakesAnInterest pick apart what makes Amiya special]]]].

[[folder:Manfred]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/51okdds.png]]
A Sarkaz general trained directly under Theresis, tasked with overseeing and commanding the occupation of Londinium alongside his peers. Serves as the boss of Episode 10.
----
* AttackDrone: Wields a special Arts unit gifted to him by Theresis himself, which resembles the drones used by Mech-Accord Casters. It lets him carry out Arts attacks at range, and can charge up the Londinium artillery cannon every time it hits something.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He cannot ''stand'' the Prince of Blood's utterly insane HorrorHunger and the brutality of it as he will [[KillEmAll literally depopulate entire areas just to feed himself]], calling it "utterly sickening".
* GatheringSteam: His attack speed gradually ramps up as he attacks the same target, up to ''triple'' of the original, basically guaranteeing that he'll eventually kill his target and possibly charge up an artillery shot or two in the meantime. Fortunately, this will reset if he changes targets or doesn't attack anything for 5 seconds.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Manfred's ability to rapidly charge the artillery cannon supporting him can let it devastate your units if you aren't careful. However, if he's caught in the blast of the cannon, it'll stun him and temporarily disable the evasion buff he spawns with. Considering that he has a whopping ''80%'' Physical and Arts evade while this passive is up, forcing him to get hit by his own artillery fire and then piling on the damage before the buff recharges is basically required to kill him in a timely manner.
* MagicKnight: Was trained in both Arts and swordplay by Theresis. In battle, this is reflected in him using his sword and Arts unit in tandem in his second phase, dealing a mix of physical and Arts damage with each attack.
* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Delivers a CurbStompBattle to Mandragora when the latter gets ahead of herself, just to prove that even one of the strongest members of Dublinn pale in comparison to the elites Kazdel has at its disposal.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Prince of Blood]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p1kyt9z_6.png]]
The leader of the tribe of Vampires serving in Theresis's court.
----
* BloodMagic: His specialty, and he doesn't even need to move a ''muscle'' to cast his Arts.
* BloodyMurder: [[UpToEleven To an absurdly ludicrous degree]] as his able to [[CruelAndUnusualDeath reduce people to puddles of blood]] by simply being in his presence [[spoiler:as shown by several ''whole'' Eartha teams being dissolved into a sea of blood instanteously by unfortunately running into him]].
* TheDreaded: Oh, immensely so. In fact, Closure explicitly warns everyone that if they see another Vampire that isn't herself and Warfarin; [[RunOrDie they are to just run]], especially if they ever ran into 'him' explicitly, as to fight the Prince of Blood would simply be suicide. [[spoiler:And seeing what he does to several Eartha teams and an entire army over two-hundred years ago, he ''very'' much lives up to the threat]].
* HorrorHunger: Has an extremely ravenous appetite and seeks to satiate it whenever he can; to the point that he has [[KillEmAll depopulated whole buildings]] of people just to feed himself, leaving [[NoBodyLeftBehind not even a scrap of them]] behind after he's done. Manfred is [[EvenEvilHasStandards so repulsed]] by his gluttonous behavior that he calls it "utterly sickening".
* InvincibleVillain: Has been established as this the second he shows up, he immediately upturns much of the conflict in Chapter 10 to being a SurvivalHorror as almost every party has to flee just to survive; [[spoiler:it takes Logos, Ascalon, and W—some of the most elite and powerful operators in all of Rhodes Island and their allies—just to finally get him to leave them alone, and he isn't even ''injured'' at all after the fact]].
* MookMaker: Most of the Sarkaz enemies you fight throughout Episode 10 will respawn as "the Prince's Touch" and "the Prince's Gift" on death: the former being clumps of blood vessels that drag themselves forward, while the latter are full-blown [[HumanoidAbomination Humanoid Abominations]] draped in blood vessels. In the enemy description, they're specified to be [[CaptainObvious created by the Prince of Blood himself.]]
* OneManArmy: And how! The fact he [[spoiler:not only reduced several whole Eartha squads to blood in a instant without needing to move]], but nearly two hundred years ago, [[spoiler:the Prince single-handedly fended off an entire army invading Kazdel all on his own, leaving [[NoBodyLeftBehind absolutely nothing behind]] and making him a frightening legend for centuries to come]].
* VillainTakesAnInterest: He finds Siege's [[spoiler:royal]] blood and the fact that Clovisia, the leader of Eartha, is a Unicorn interesting enough to not ''immediately'' obliterate them while being in his presence.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:King of the Nachzehrers]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc3fuhs.png]]
The ancient leader of his enonymous faction of Sarkaz also within Theresis's court—[[OurGhoulsAreCreepier ghoulish creatures]] that can absorb the "memories and wrath" of the enemies they defeat by [[YouAreWhoYouEat consuming their flesh]].
----
* BadassBoast: He states plainly to Kal'tsit that he can easily kill her, Warfarin, and Shining—[[OneManArmy then stroll up and annihilate all of Rhodes Island by himself if he so wished]].
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Explicitly states his loyalty is ''not'' to Theresis himself, but Kazdel and the Sarkaz as a whole. [[spoiler:He even reveals directly to Kal'tsit that he is going behind Theresis's back to see if Amiya is a WorthySuccessor to Theresa and is capable of leading the Sarkaz to prosperity instead of him]].
* FriendlyEnemy: [[spoiler:Reveals himself to be an old friend of Kal'tsit over many eons, even referring to her as an 'ageless dame']].
* EvilSmellsBad: Explicitly has a very rotten, decaying odor to him wherever he travels. In fact, he can inflict SensoryOverload to certain other Sarkaz [[spoiler:such as Warfarin]] by just being in proximity of him.
* GodWasMyCoPilot: [[spoiler:Very much ''implied'' to be the case due to his TimeAbyss nature, and the fact he serves a similar mysterious role to that of [[TheManBehindTheMan Kashchey]] as he talks, that the King of the Nachzehrer is the "will" of Kazdel who is simply waiting to see how the winds turn for the Sarkaz and is only serving Theresis in the present to aid the restoration of his country's people [[DragonWithAnAgenda until Amiya came along]]]].
* ImAHumanitarian: His people's hat, as they explicitly consume their defeated opponents [[TheAssimilator to gain their memories]].
* LargeAndInCharge: The leader of his enonymous sect of Sarkaz and is positively enormous, standing ''many'' feet over everyone else in Theresis's court—especially in comparison to the Ördög King in their true form who doesn't ''[[BigGuyLittleGuy even come up to his supposed knees]]'' in a CG.
* MakeThemRot: His body is apparently so corrosive that he warns [[spoiler:the panicking Warfarin]] to not attempt to consume his flesh, lest they wither away from the rot and decay from the inside out.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: As the apparent [[spoiler:[[PatronGod "will" of Kazdel]]]], he profuses that his only goal ''is'' the preservation of his country and it's people, no matter what, and that any loyalties he may have presently are simply a means to achieving that end.
* TimeAbyss: Is impossibly old to the point that no one knows just ''how old'' he actually is, [[spoiler:especially since it's implied he's among TheOldGods like Kashchey, though representing the very spirit of Kazdel instead]].
* ThresholdGuardians: Serves as this to the path entering Londinium from any opposing forces to Theresis. [[spoiler:[[DragonWithAnAgenda He lets Rhodes Island pass into the city without fight after a conversation]] in part to test them (more specifically Amiya) with the battle ahead]].
* VillainTakesAnInterest: [[spoiler:Has an eye on Amiya due to being Theresa's successor and the potential [[ApocalypseMaiden Lord of Fiends]], wanting to test her to see if she's worthy of her heritage and title]].
* VillainsNeverLie: Given the implication that he is [[spoiler:an [[TheOldGods old god]] much like Kashchey]], it's telling how much of a {{Foil}} he is compared to [[spoiler:the Deathless Black Snake]] by how forthright the King of the Nachzehrer is in his goals and motivations right away to Rhodes Island about [[spoiler:his plans for Amiya to see if she's a WorthySuccessor without having to beat it out of him]].
* WorthyOpponent: Considered Patriot to be this, calling him even a qualified opponent that could have matched him in battle [[spoiler:before his passing]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Ördög King]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d7h9h8k.png]]
The leader of the Ördög tribe of Sarkaz standing in Theresis's court; who can take on the appearance of any being, living or dead, and pose as them perfectly.
----
* AmbiguousGender: It's not stated what their gender is in their true appearance, and given their ability to become anyone, it probably doesn't even matter in the end.
* {{Humanshifting}}: The primary usage of their power, as they are constantly requested to impersonate others. [[spoiler:It's to the point that in ''Chapter 10'', they are known to be impersonating ''so many people'' at once that it's impossible to tell whether someone is the Ördög King or not]].
* KillAndReplace: Complains that they always have to impersonate the recently dead, either by their hands or someone elses, and wishes to turn into someone who's a bit more alive—not that this stops them from doing so regardless.
* MasterActor: Knack. Given how long they have performed episonage work for Theresis and how many faces they've worn, they can seamlessly pretend to be anyone on the fly in rapid succession, [[ParanoiaFuel making it impossible to know whom they are at any moment]].
* TheMole: [[spoiler:Currently hiding within Eartha to keep tabs on them as well as tracking Amiya's movements for Theresis]].
* NoNameGiven: At the moment, they are identified only as "Shapeshifter" in ''Chapter 10'', but are established to be the leader of their Sarkaz tribe due to having enough prestige to be among Theresis's inner circle.
* VillainTakesAnInterest: [[spoiler:Has an immense fixation on Amiya—barring their orders to already keep tabs on her—wishing to see her full potential by testing her while disguised as a member of Eartha]].
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Their hat, and are ''really'' good at it too.

* {{Humanshifting}}: The primary usage of their power, as they are constantly requested to impersonate others. [[spoiler:It's to the point that in ''Chapter 10'', they are known to be impersonating ''so many people'' at once that it's impossible to tell whether someone is the Ördög King or not]].
* KillAndReplace: Complains that they always have to impersonate the recently dead, either by their hands or someone elses, and wishes to turn into someone who's a bit more alive—not that this stops them from doing so regardless.
* MasterActor: Knack. Given how long they have performed episonage work for Theresis and how many faces they've worn, they can seamlessly pretend to be anyone on the fly in rapid succession, [[ParanoiaFuel making it impossible to know whom they are at any moment]].
* TheMole: [[spoiler:Currently hiding within Eartha to keep tabs on them as well as tracking Amiya's movements for Theresis]].
* NoNameGiven: At the moment, they are identified only as "Shapeshifter" in ''Chapter 10'', but are established to be the leader of their Sarkaz tribe due to having enough prestige to be among Theresis's inner circle.
* VillainTakesAnInterest: [[spoiler:Has an immense fixation on Amiya—barring their orders to already keep tabs on her—wishing to see her full potential by testing her while disguised as a member of Eartha]].
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Their hat, and are ''really'' good at it too.
