* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:"The Whirlpool That Is Passion" reveals that Khotza-tutztah, Shining's father and the lead Confessarius, desires to become the eternal King of the Sarkaz as he has been trying for thousands of years, and his gambit with Theresis is little more than just another avenue for him to finally fulfill his ambition of [[ControlFreak ruling everything as it should have always been]].]]

* BecomingTheMask: Their ability to impersonate others is perfected to the point they assimilate the thoughts and memories of the individual they become, becoming indistinguishable from the real thing. In fact, it's implied in Chapter 11 that ''this'' is the primary reason why they complained [[KillAndReplace about impersonating the recently dead]] is because it becomes more difficult to maintain their own self when in proximity to someone that has died, as with the Sarkaz's seeming affinity with death, the boundaries become so blurred assimilating that knowledge that they can risk completely losing themselves in character [[spoiler:as implied with their impersonation of Molly, whom they just killed, causing it to feel maternal feelings towards the school's children which comes in conflict with the group's interests to [[LeaveNoWitnesses dispose of loose ends]]]].

* TheBadGuyWins: Despite him [[spoiler:being subjected to a FateWorseThanDeath by being trapped in a pocket dimension, the Sanguinarch still succeeds in activating his blood ritual, which provides the Shard with enough power to carry out the next step in Theresis' plans]].

* 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.

* DotingParent: She loves her son Logos very dearly and isn't shy about showing her affection to him even as an adult.
* OlderThanSheLooks: As a Banshee, she has an extended lifespan. In her appearances in ''Babel'' and Chapter 13, between which Logos has grown from a child to an adult, she still looks the same and as youthful as ever.

A member of the Confessarius and Shining's sister.

A commander of the Military Commission who borrowed her codename from a legendary hero of Sarkaz history, and an old compatriot of Hoederer and Ines. [[spoiler:She has been placed in charge of protecting the "Lifebone" being used by the Sarkaz]].

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:One of the two Damazti born from their {{Reincarnation}} end up voluntarily siding with Rhodes Island of their own volition compared to their twin who ends up staying with the Military Commission and aiding them like their predecessor. His counterpart, however, is [[TookALevelInJerkass even worse than before]], sadistically tormenting Delphine with her mother's death for no practical reason.]]

[[folder:The Revenant ('''UNMARKED SPOILERS''')]]
An amalgamation of angry Sarkaz souls used to power Theresis' airship

[[folder:Lady Ermengarde]]
A Lich who acts as the Lich Court's representative to the Military Commission.

* HotWitch: She wears a stereotypical witch hat combined with a low cut dress that exposes her shoulders and upper chest.
* TrueNeutral: Kal'tsit mentions InUniverse that the Liches can be counted on not to take sides in the conflict. Indeed, Ermengarde tells Theresa that even though she gifted special Arts war machines to the Military Commission, the Lich Court has not committed to joining Theresis.
* RealityWarper: Theresa mentions that Liches like Ermengarde specialize in opening extradimensional spaces in order to hide their phylacteries.

!![[spoiler:Khotza-tutztah]]

->'''Real Name:''' Duq'arael

* GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler:The Sanguinarch is so absurdly powerful that Amiya is forced to break another ring, [[HeroicRRoD despite the risk that happened the last time she did it against Talulah]], just to match him on even footing in "The Whirlwind That Is Passion".

** In "The Whirlwind That Is Passion", [[spoiler: it at first seems like he finally met his match against an empowered Amiya [[PowerLimiter who shattered another one of her Rings]] and is seemingly killed on the spot after an intense battle, but in reality, he is able to continously reconstruct his body and abilities by reabsorbing his own blood,. so [[spoiler:the best that can be done is to [[CuttingTheKnot simply remove him from the conflict]] by [[DisneyVillainDeath throwing him off his airship into the sea below]], which leaves the ambiguity of whether or not ''that'' would kill him, but it certainly keeps him out of the remainder of the conflict in Londinium regardless.]]

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: It's abundantly clear that as feared as he is for his incredible power and bloodlust, virtually nobody in the setting genuinely respects him thanks to his incredibly unpleasant demeanor.
* AchillesHeel: [[spoiler:True damage will completely ruin his day in his second phase, completely bypassing the 90% damage reduction he puts up on himself.]]
* ActuallyADoombot: [[spoiler:His boss encounter in "The Whirlwind That Is Passion" is revealed to be this, as despite all of Amiya's efforts and [[GodzillaThreshold even breaking one of her rings to match him in power]], he shrugs off seemingly dying by showing that he can just generate blood clones of himself.]]

* GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler:The Sanguinarch is so absurdly powerful that Amiya is forced to break another ring, [[HeroicRRoD despite the risk that happened the last time she did it against Talulah]], just to match him on even footing in "The Whirlwind That Is Passion". Unfortunately, this turns out to be moot because the Sanguinarch simply generated [[ActuallyADoombot a blood clone]] for her to fight, costing her greatly as she nearly passes out in the clutches of Theresis's court if it wasn't for Ascalon, Logos, and the Doctor all showing up to save Amiya.]]

* KillTheGod: [[spoiler:The Sanguinarch once killed a enormous Feranmut known as the Vertebra of Life, a God that was a genuine TimeMaster and could freely TimeTravel to a degree that its very existence threatened Kazdel in the past. Due to his particular kind of immortal nature, he was able to withstand its ability long enough to slay it.]]

** In "The Whirlwind That Is Passion", [[spoiler: it at first seems like he finally met his match against an empowered Amiya [[PowerLimiter who shattered another one of her Rings]] and is seemingly killed on the spot after an intense battle, but in reality, he simply conjured [[ActuallyADoombot a blood clone of himself]] that took the brunt of Amiya's assault that's virtually identical to him in every way including power to wear her out so the Royal Court can attempt to capture her.]] In the end, [[spoiler:the best that can be done is to [[CuttingTheKnot simply remove him from the conflict]] by [[DisneyVillainDeath throwing him off his airship into the sea below]], which leaves the ambiguity of whether or not ''that'' would kill him, but it certainly keeps him out of the remainder of the conflict in Londinium regardless.]]

* PeoplePuppets: He can puppeteer people's bodies by forcibly controling their blood. He uses this to force a Victorian nobleman to [[PsychicAssistedSuicide throw himself into a burning building]], seemingly for no other reason than his own amusement.

* ShoutOut: His name, position and title brings to mind ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow'' as a fellow VampireMonarch going by the name of [[spoiler:Dracul]], extensively uses [[BloodyMurder blood magic]] as part of their arsenal, has a reputation as TheDreaded and holds disdain for a messianic figure (God and [[spoiler:Theresa]] respectively). This contrasts nicely with [[spoiler:the Witch King]]'s parallels to the Dracula of ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' main series as revealed in "Zwillingstürme Im Herbst".

* SocialDarwinist: Chapter 11 establishes the Sanguinarch has a quite strong belief in this. Namely, only those who are willing to kill, and be killed themselves should they lose their footing, are the only ones deserving existence. It's implied the Sanguinarch and his followers sided with Theresis [[spoiler:and not Theresa]] because the Regent acknowledges it's either kill or be killed and stops at nothing to see his enemies destroyed rather than show weakness.

** [[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.]]

* NoNonsenseNemesis: [[spoiler:The moment he sees the chance, he personally comes down from the Shard to ambush Amiya after her battle with Manfred and the Sanguinarch, and doesn't even give her a chance to react before instantly going for the throat. Not even Closure or the Doctor were able to detect him in time, and if Kal'tsit hadn't sacrificed herself and Ascalon held him off afterwards, Amiya would have died before even realizing it.]]

* ShoutOut: His name, position and title brings to mind ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow'' [[spoiler:as a fellow VampireMonarch going by the name of Dracul and [[BloodyMurder extensively uses blood magic as part of their arsenal]].]]
