* VilerNewVillain: He's clearly meant to be the Commission's version of Mephisto, and manages to make the former look like a ''Saint’’ compared to him. Both are the most mentally unstable members of their respective organizations with MookMaker powers that have horrific effects o their allies, but Mpehisto at least had a sympathetic background and is pitiable for just how horrifying and painful his ultimate fate is. By contrast, the Sanguinarch is a horrific monster who just wants violence and destruction to date his HorrorHunger and has no real loyalty to his leader's plans, which further contrasts how sincerely Mephisto believed in Talulah's vision. Tellingly, while Mephisto's fate is, as previously mentioned, treated somberly, the [[spoiler:Sanguinarch's defeat is viewed as something he completely deserved]].

* HateSink: Among the Military Commission, he is one of the only two major figures (the other being the Confessarius) with next to no remotely sympathetic or even admirable qualities, being a completely AxCrazy psychopath who sees all other beings as inferior ''and'' a BadBoss who doesn't even think twice about using his own people as fodder. Fittingly, [[spoiler:his eventual fate upon his defeat is among the cruelest in the story, being trapped in an eternal loop outside of time without even the possibility of dying, and it was well deserved.]]

* PuzzleBoss: Although he's initially fairly weak, the Sanguine Throne he protects will constantly spawn minions and endlessly resurrect him each time he dies, making him unbeatable until you blow it up with one of the payload bombs that serve as Chapter 13's central mechanic. In the second phase, he instead has much higher HP and ''90% physical/Arts damage reduction'' unless he's recently been hit by a bomb, making him nearly invincible unless you bomb him in a heavily defended spot and unload all your damage into him during the short vulnerability window. And even then, you have to pay attention to when you use the bombs and what order you send them in, as he'll ''destroy'' the bomb dispenser that hit him each time he's struck, giving you a limited number of attempts.
