[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ernst_683.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Toshihiko Miki (JP), Dave Mallow (EN)

The Grandfather to Rin and Yukio on their mother's side. He's first seen during the Blue Night in episode one and absent until the final arc. Having lost his daughter, Rin and Yukio's mother to a witch hunt, he has good reasons for his prejudice against all things demon, as well as some ill will towards members of the [[ChurchMilitant True Cross Order]].[[spoiler: Though his telling of the story isn't entirely true.]]

* BigBad: He's arguably this for the Anime along with Satan, as most of the bad things that happen in the anime's continuity, directly or not, can be blamed on him.
* CanonForeigner: Added exclusively to the anime for the sake of the GeckoEnding.
* ChurchMilitant: The True Cross Order was always this, but after he's appointed as [[spoiler:the new Pope]] he [[UpToEleven brings it up to eleven]] by giving high school students enchanted sub-machine guns.
* EvilLaugh: When his gate is open and the Messiah bomb is about to drop, he lets out a mighty one of these.
* FantasticRacism: Towards demons. Not even his daughter is safe if she shows sympathy towards them.
* KnightTemplar: Willing to kill [[spoiler:his own grandson]] through an ''extremely'' painful [[ReligionIsMagic magical/religious]] ritual in order to "win the war against Gehena."
* LaserGuidedKarma: Why he has to wear a mask. [[spoiler: He condemned his daughter and her blue-flame lover possessed him to free her. The result was a nasty burn mark.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:He loses his calm demeanor once his Messiah bomb failed to destroy Hell, and becomes terrified when he is being dragged into it, he frantically begs Yukio to save him. Except Yukio found out that Ernst ordered the witch hunt to kill Yuri and leaves him for dead.]]

The Anime Exclusive version of Yuri Egin is detailed below. The manga version has yet to be revealed.

A lower-second class exorcist who gave birth to Rin and Yukio. She was known as the "Witch of the Forest" and was ordered to be [[BurnTheWitch burned at the stake]]. This lead to the Blue Night.

* AllLovingHeroine: She believes that humans and demons can co-exist. In her view, the only thing preventing this from happening is a refusal to understand each other.
* BeautyMark: She had a mole under her eyes. Her son Yukio got them from her.
* BurnTheWitch: She was tied to a stake and ordered to be burned. [[spoiler: Her demonic lover prevented that from happening.]]
* ButNotTooForeign: Her father is definitely not Japanese, but her name suggests that her mother was.
* CanonForeigner: She was first established in the anime's continuity. The manga version has nothing except but her name and rank so far revealed.
* DeathByChildbirth: She died giving birth to her sons.
* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: Yes, yes she did. [[spoiler: In the anime, this is why the Blue Night happened - Satan refused to let her be murdered over this trope, and searched for a host within the nearby clergy. All of them disintegrated immediately, except for her own father.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Including demons, which caused her to be known as the "Witch of the forest" and why she could bond with SATAN of all people.
* TheLostLenore: To Satan. In the anime, [[spoiler:he wishes to create a world where humans and demons can coexist because that's what Yuri wished for]].
* MissingMom: Her sons never met her.
* MoralityPet: To Satan. She helped him understand the meaning of life and he cared about her enough to [[spoiler:cause the Blue Night in an attempt to save her from her execution]].
* PosthumousCharacter: We only learn about her through flashbacks.
* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:She was able to host Satan, so they bonded, one thing led to another... and then we got Rin and Yukio.]]
* SympathyForTheDevil: In a more literal sense, which is why she wound up having his kids.
* WideEyedIdealist: Enthusiastic in her belief that demons and humans could co-exist despite the eternal war going on, and heedless of criticism. [[spoiler: Even Satan loved the ideology - unfortunately, he got it a bit twisted around by the time he could act on it]].

[[folder:Tamamo Kamiki]]

The previous head of the Inari Shrine and Izumo's mother.

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Wasn't initially, but being told by your husband that he won't hang out with you because he thinks children are pains turned her into this.]]
* BandageBabe: [[spoiler:Currently spending her time covered in bandages, strapped to a wheelchair.]]

* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:Dies calling her daughters her treasures one last time.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:She's been experimented on and reduced to a withered husk of a woman as a result of being possessed and captured by the Illuminati]]
* GagBoobs: Very, very stacked [[spoiler: which is hilarious since Izumo isn't.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She forcefully takes the Nine Tails that's possessing Izumo so that when she dies it will go with her, saving Izumo and screwing up the Illuminati's plans.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: Turns out the reason Izumo can go to True Cross is because of money she left behind for her.]]
* MamaBear: [[spoiler:Once she's freed of the Nine Tails influence because it possessed her daughter, she stood up for what must have been the first time in years and proceeded to not only avoid its attacks but remove it.]]
* {{Miko}}: Older than the usual version, but was a ''very'' powerful one. [[spoiler:She was in possession by the Nine Tails for five years and never gave in enough for it to overtake her whereas her daughter couldn't last more than a few minutes. On top of that she forcefully exorcised it out of Izumo and into her while it was trying to kill her without much effort and in a body that hadn't been mobile for ages.]]
* OffingTheOffspring: Attempted to do this [[spoiler: after being possessed.]]
* ThePowerOfHate: [[spoiler: The Ninetails that possessed her seems to run off of this, getting into her as she starts to get angry and resentful of others, starting to hate aspects of her life.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Obviously, considering her big impact and role in regards to [[spoiler: Izumo's past and the Illuminati]].
* WomanChild: Was incredibly immature, introduced crying over people not liking her and asking her daughter for help there. [[spoiler: her immature nature not only hints at how much power the Inami family had over her but led to her getting possessed as she didn't have the mental fortitude to handle her lover's rejection.]]

[[folder:Tsukumo Kamiki//[[spoiler: Tsukiko Takara]]]]

An adorable little girl with ties to Izumo's past as she is her sister and the reason behind all of her actions before and during Inari.

* CheerfulChild: She's almost never not seeing smiling and when she's not it's rather heartbreaking.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] [[spoiler: Izumo adores her and she's very polite and sweet to her sister and others even as Tsukiko.]]
* NoInfantileAmnesia: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] to an heartbreaking extent as [[spoiler: Tsukiko can't even recognize Izumo despite how much she looks like her.]]
* {{Protectorate}}: To [[spoiler:Izumo. This is exploited as it makes it easy for the Illuminati to manipulate Izumo.]]
* SpoiledSweet: [[spoiler: What she has become as Tsukiko Takara, as her brief appearance shows her being very polite to her foster parents and even Izumo when she suddenly shows up in their garden.]]
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: [[spoiler: Asks this of Izumo as Tamamo starts avoiding her daughters and home.]]

[[folder: Yuri Egin (Manga)]]

[[AntiAntiChrist Rin and Yukio]]'s mother. Not much is known about her, aside from the previous fact and the fact that she was a Lower First Class exorcist. Even in-universe her true status appears to be unknown.

* ButNotTooForeign: Her name suggests she's of mixed-heritage.
* MissingMom: Whatever happened to her, she's definitely absent from her sons' lives.
* TheLostLenore: In ch78, how Shura refers to her suggests [[spoiler: she might be this for ''Shiro''!]]

* [[Characters/BlueExorcistDemons Demons]]: [[labelnote:Click to expand.]]Satan, Amaimon, Kuro (Blacky), Hachiro,

!Illuminati

[[folder:Lucifer]]

Eldest son of Satan and leader of the Illuminati. He is the demon king presiding over light.

* AffablyEvil: Introduces himself very politely despite breaking the seals of True Cross Order branches around the world.
* AnimeHair: Underneath the helmet, has a point in his hair similar to Amaimon's, though not as well-defined.
* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: He's second in the demonic hierarchy of Gehenna, right below ''Satan'' himself. Even in his sickly state, Mephisto states that he, the 3rd strongest demon in Gehenna, is no match for Lucifer.
* BigEntrance:
** Makes projections of lights and [[spoiler:destroys the barrier around the academy]] when he appeared.
** Even later when [[spoiler: introducing himself personally to Yukio]] he makes a big entrance despite the circumstances!
* {{Bishonen}}: Fitting his [[PrettyBoy normal description]], though despite his pale (blond or [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white]]) hair he still [[StrongFamilyResemblance looks a lot like his siblings]] complete with a {{Ahoge}} like bit of hair shaped like a wing that matches the pattern established by Mephisto and Amaimon and a fluffy tail like Rin's.
* CoolHelmet: Mephisto compliments him on it.
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: Though only seen in the shadows in the beginning, it is heavily assumed that, during his preparation for his BigEntrance, he's shown to have been connected to a heart monitor and IV drip. [[spoiler: When we do see all of him it's clear his condition is ''much'' worse than what was implied before.]]
* TheDragon: Hints from some of his dialogue suggest he's this to Satan.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Expresses utter disgust towards [[spoiler:Gedouin and his cruelty before vaporizing him for his disobedient actions]].
* IllBoy: He's ''still'' in bad shape and spends a lot of his speech pausing to [[IncurableCoughOfDeath cough]]. Now the fans have to wonder what can make a ''demon'' that ill... [[spoiler: Judging by what he tells his scientists about making a "perfect body for his father" he might just be suffering a weaker version of [[SuperPowerMeltdown Satan's tendency of destroying his hosts]], like what Amaimon displayed before by releasing his Demon Heart.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Vaporizes Gedouin for disobeying him one too many times. The little man definitely had it coming]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Even more so than the previous one (Amaimon), as Lucifer's first appearance even in ''shadow'' is when things start to get very serious. Come his first full on appearance, and CerebusSyndrome really starts kicking in for the series.
* KnightTemplar: Genuinely believes that mixing the worlds of Gehenna and Assiah will solve the world's ills. Mephisto disagrees, believing that the desire to overcome one's bad situation makes humanity unique.
* LightEmUp: When he makes his entrance and subsequently destroys the barriers of True Cross Order branches around the world.
* LightIsNotGood: Leader of the big baddies and the King of Light, check.
* MeaningfulName: Lucifer means "Light-Bearer", as mentioned above under Rin.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Shows this [[spoiler: when he personally talks to Yukio.]]
* SuperPowerMeltdown: [[spoiler:He pushed his human host just a bit too much with his big entrance and it caused him to cough up some blood. Even showing up in Assiah to ''talk'' for a short period of time causes his human body to brake down like his father does, despite still being hooked up to everything meant to keep him stable.]]
* TearsOfBlood: [[spoiler: Shortly after showing his human face for a brief time to speak with his subordinates he started suffering from these (along with a PsychicNosebleed) to show how ''fragile'' his body really is.]]

[[folder: Saburota Toudou]]

A former exorcist, now demon. His reasons for turning traitor remain unknown but are likely related to his [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy of]], and [[AlwaysSecondBest attempts to catch up with]], his father and siblings.

* AffablyEvil: He is always very polite, even when he [[spoiler:betrays both the exorcists and Mamushi]]. In fact, he arguably became even more polite ''after'' he revealed himself to be evil.
* BatmanGambit: Pulls one off by [[spoiler:obtaining both demon eyes through a bit of [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]] and [[TricksterArchetype trickery]], then using them to deliberately awaken the [[SealedEvilinaCan Impure King]]. He knew that this would cause Tatsuma to show up and try to defeat the Impure King using his familiar Kurara. This weakened Tatsuma, allowing Toudou to kill him (who was saved by a revived Karura) and allow him to eat Karura to gain his power. It had all gone according to plan]].
* BreakingSpeech: Gives one [[spoiler:and more on a regular basis]] to Yukio.
** First one: after revealing himself as an exorcist fallen to a demon, he mentioned he was always in the shadow of his father and brothers, and he never could voice his doubts about his path. It rattles Yukio, but Yukio decides that he is not Saburota, but himself.
** Second one: In their next confrontation, Saburota says that [[spoiler: Yukio's father and brother are what have defined his paths in life and that he had no real choice in his path, leading him to despise his brother for having no idea what agony he went through. Yukio admits that he does love and hate his brother, but above all else he hates himself the most]].
** THIRD one: Following his discovery of [[spoiler: Yukio's [[OccultBlueEyes blue eyes]] (after almost killing the kid) and after Yukio thought Saburota was destroyed, [[FromASingleCell Saburota regenerates]] and comments that self-loathing is the first step to becoming a demon and that Yukio's true nature is that of a demon. [[RageBreakingPoint Yukio has had enough of Toudou by this point]]]].
* CannibalismSuperPower: [[spoiler:He noms demons to control their powers]].
* CompleteImmortality: The logical conclusion of [[spoiler: combining FromASingleCell, FountainOfYouth, and [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld how demons tend to have extremely long lifespans]]]].
* TheCorrupter: He convinced a loyal member of the Kyoto Branch Office to give him the dangerous Right Eye of the Impure King. He is actively attempting to manipulate Yukio for unknown but definitely unsavory ends.
* DrivenByEnvy: Claims that his major reason for becoming Illuminati is because of this towards his elder brothers and father.
* EvilFeelsGood: He implies this much while talking to Yukio. [[spoiler:Said to Yukio almost verbatim as "it's nice to be a demon"]].
* ManChild: His reasons for being with the Illuminati boils down to him throwing a tantrum over how he was never accepted by his family and never could match their expectations. His age regression after [[spoiler: eating Karura]] just makes it more obvious and worse.
* ManipulativeBastard: He got Yukio to talk with him during their fights despite [[IdiotBall Yukio knowing, and earlier explained to Rin and Shiemi]] how dangerous talking with a demon can be.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He was first seen as an Upper Second Class exorcist with a timid personality who provided some [[MrExposition exposition]] about an incident involving one of the demon eyes. He seemed like an incompetent, but reasonably brave and decent, guy. And then it turns out it was all an act. He had in fact already turned traitor and only exposed himelf as TheMole in the chapter in which he was introduced. He has since shown considerable [[NotSoHarmlessVillain competence]] and [[BatmanGambit cunning]]. He is now [[ManipulativeBastard one to watch out for]].
* StalkerWithoutACrush: In his own words, [[spoiler:[[VillainTakesAnInterest he is "very interested" in Yukio]]]].
* StartOfDarkness: He described his. He wanted to be like his father and brother, but was discontent with living a life he felt was shaped by others. Ultimately he became a demon and is working for his own goals.
* YouthfulFreckles: A frightening inversion, as he [[spoiler: [[FountainOfYouth turned younger following devouring Karura]] but he's still a 55 years old]].

[[folder: Illuminati Spies]]

Little is known about them as a whole but so far only one of them has had their identity revealed.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The spy that Lightning and Angel interrogates breaks when [[spoiler: Lightning threatens to harm his wife and child.]]
* TheMole: Their main purpose for the order is to infiltrate and keep tabs on the Order of the True Cross, so far there are two in the Vatican itself and one in the Japanese branch. [[spoiler: For tropes specific to the Japan Branch mole see Renzou Shima in the Cram School Student's section.]]

[[folder: Dr. Gedouin]]

A doctor of the Illuminati.

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Uses the Savior Mask to turn himself into a huge monster to try to kill the heroes]].
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler: Everything he did was to gain praise from Lucifer. Fittingly, not only does Lucifer vaporize him for his disobedience, he expresses disgust at Gedouin's cruelty just before doing so]].
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears glasses and is a complete {{Jerkass}}.
* {{Gonk}}: He has a very squat design which suits him ''[[TropesAreTools perfectly]]'' since it makes him look like a [[FatBastard very fat]] [[PsychopathicManChild child]] instead of a normal adult, he is even shorter than [[spoiler: Izumo's mother]] when he is standing next to them as they is sitting in their wheelchair.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Uses an argument along the lines of humans being worse than demons to justify his atrocities when Rin [[YouMonster calls him out]]. He ''himself'' is worse than a demon, but fewer others are.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Cares about absolutely nothing aside from pleasing Lucifer and his own personal advancement.
* {{Jerkass}}: He has no problems telling [[spoiler: Izumo]] ''exactly'' what he will do to [[spoiler: her and her sister]] after showing them [[KickTheDog what was left of their mother]] after he experimented on her for ''years''.
* LackOfEmpathy: He in fact relishes over others' suffering.
* MadScientist: Let's just say whoever he experiments on [[BodyHorror does not come out in one piece]].
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Manages to survive getting incinerated by the heroes thanks to the elixir experiments he conducted on himself. Lucifer [[DeathByIrony fixes that]] in the next chapter]].
* PerpetualSmiler: He is always smiling, especially when he's causing people pain.

* {{Miko}}: Older than the usual version, but was a ''very'' powerful one. [[spoiler:She was in possession by the Nine Tails for five years and never gave in enough for it to overtake her whereas her daughter couldn't last more than a few minutes. On top of that she forcefully exorcised it out of Izumo and into her while it was trying to kill her without much effort and in a body that hadn't been mobile for ages.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: Obviously, considering her big impact and role in regards to [[spoiler: Izumo's past and the Illuminati]].

* MissingMom: Whatever happened to her, she's definitely absent from her sons' lives.
* TheLostLenore: In ch78, how Shura refers to her suggests [[spoiler: she might be this for ''Shiro''!]]

[[folder: Ernst Frederik Egin]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ernst_683.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Toshihiko Miki (JP), Dave Mallow (EN)

The Grandfather to Rin and Yukio on their mother's side. He's first seen during the Blue Night in episode one and absent until the final arc. Having lost his daughter, Rin and Yukio's mother to a witch hunt, he has good reasons for his prejudice against all things demon, as well as some ill will towards members of the [[ChurchMilitant True Cross Order]].[[spoiler: Though his telling of the story isn't entirely true.]]
----

* BigBad: He's arguably this for the Anime along with Satan, as most of the bad things that happen in the anime's continuity, directly or not, can be blamed on him.
* CanonForeigner: Added exclusively to the anime for the sake of the GeckoEnding.
* ChurchMilitant: The True Cross Order was always this, but after he's appointed as [[spoiler:the new Pope]] he [[UpToEleven brings it up to eleven]] by giving high school students enchanted sub-machine guns.
* EvilLaugh: When his gate is open and the Messiah bomb is about to drop, he lets out a mighty one of these.
* FantasticRacism: Towards demons. Not even his daughter is safe if she shows sympathy towards them.
* KnightTemplar: Willing to kill [[spoiler:his own grandson]] through an ''extremely'' painful [[ReligionIsMagic magical/religious]] ritual in order to "win the war against Gehena."
* LaserGuidedKarma: Why he has to wear a mask. [[spoiler: He condemned his daughter and her blue-flame lover possessed him to free her. The result was a nasty burn mark.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:He loses his calm demeanor once his Messiah bomb failed to destroy Hell, and becomes terrified when he is being dragged into it, he frantically begs Yukio to save him. Except Yukio found out that Ernst ordered the witch hunt to kill Yuri and leaves him for dead.]]

->Voiced by: Music/MegumiHayashibara (JP), Creator/CheramiLeigh (EN)

The Anime Exclusive version of Yuri Egin is detailed below. The manga version has yet to be revealed.

A lower-second class exorcist who gave birth to Rin and Yukio. She was known as the "Witch of the Forest" and was ordered to be [[BurnTheWitch burned at the stake]]. This lead to the Blue Night.
----
* AllLovingHeroine: She believes that humans and demons can co-exist. In her view, the only thing preventing this from happening is a refusal to understand each other.
* BeautyMark: She had a mole under her eyes. Her son Yukio got them from her.
* BurnTheWitch: She was tied to a stake and ordered to be burned. [[spoiler: Her demonic lover prevented that from happening.]]
* ButNotTooForeign: Her father is definitely not Japanese, but her name suggests that her mother was.
* CanonForeigner: She was first established in the anime's continuity. The manga version has nothing except but her name and rank so far revealed.
* DeathByChildbirth: She died giving birth to her sons.
* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: Yes, yes she did. [[spoiler: In the anime, this is why the Blue Night happened - Satan refused to let her be murdered over this trope, and searched for a host within the nearby clergy. All of them disintegrated immediately, except for her own father.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Including demons, which caused her to be known as the "Witch of the forest" and why she could bond with SATAN of all people.
* TheLostLenore: To Satan. In the anime, [[spoiler:he wishes to create a world where humans and demons can coexist because that's what Yuri wished for]].
* MissingMom: Her sons never met her.
* MoralityPet: To Satan. She helped him understand the meaning of life and he cared about her enough to [[spoiler:cause the Blue Night in an attempt to save her from her execution]].
* PosthumousCharacter: We only learn about her through flashbacks.
* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:She was able to host Satan, so they bonded, one thing led to another... and then we got Rin and Yukio.]]
* SympathyForTheDevil: In a more literal sense, which is why she wound up having his kids.
* WideEyedIdealist: Enthusiastic in her belief that demons and humans could co-exist despite the eternal war going on, and heedless of criticism. [[spoiler: Even Satan loved the ideology - unfortunately, he got it a bit twisted around by the time he could act on it]].

[[folder: Usamaro]]

A child-like demon Rin found who seems to have amnesia.
----

* AnimalMotifs: A rabbit, which is why he is named ''Usa''maro because "Usa" means "Rabbit".
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Even demonic children apparently. [[spoiler: Except this is a ''bad'' thing since he is too innocent to understand how much damage his attempts to "help" those around him actually causes.]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A really friendly blond once he gets used to you.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: He reverses time and destroys himself to save the city.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Considering his memory loss he seems to be the victim of it.[[spoiler:.. Except since he is the very same demon from the fairytale this is actually his trademark technique.]]
* PureIsNotGood: Just because he is sweet and innocent child who just wants to help people doesn't mean he isn't a threat to others. [[spoiler: Just ask the last town he "helped".]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[TechnicolorEyes Mostly red at least]], like a rabbit's... But he is demon, which should be warning enough.
* RetGone: [[spoiler: erases himself, and only Rin and Liu remember him.]]
* TimeLord: Kinda, since officially he is considered to be "kin of Saemel, King of Time" he can be considered one of these. [[spoiler: His ability to "eat" memories is apparently based on erasing the event from a person's personal history, or changing past events so the person doesn't remember them happening so his connection to "Time" isn't that strange.]]

!Demons

[[folder:Satan, The Demon King]]

The ruler of Gehenna, and father of Rin and Yukio, along with Samael, Amaimon and Lucifer.

* ArchnemesisDad: While he may be Rin and Yukio's father he is the BigBad of the series.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The ruler of Gehenna, first of the eight demon kings, and is so powerful his mere presence destroys most of his human hosts.
* AxCrazy: First appearance in the manga and anime ''reeks'' of this. In the anime, [[spoiler: after possessing Yukio and playing pyromaniac he seriously keeps up that appearance. Yet with [[MoralityPet Yuri]], he was quite sane and even inquisitive.]]
* BigBad: The king of Gehenna, leader of the demons, and the primary cause of Rin's conflict.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: [[spoiler:Oh, Satan. When Yuri said she dreamed of a world where demons and humans could live together, she didn't mean that you should [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt turn Assiah into a wasteland in the process]]. Also, "nurturing a life" implies that you are not allowed to [[DemonicPossession possess said life at a later date]]. PoorCommunicationKills indeed]].
* BodyHorror: Anyone he possesses without sufficient compatibility will burn and mutate.
* DemonicPossession: He tries but always fails. The number of people who can perfectly house his full power is limited to less than five people. Everyone else spontaneously bursts into flames.
%%* ExactWords: ''[[DealWithTheDevil He's freaking Satan.]]''
* {{Hellfire}}: His trademark [[TechnicolorFire blue]] flames. He's the ruler of the place where this stuff comes from.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Due his inability to stay in Aisha for more than a few seconds, he's more of a background character despite his authority and power.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: In the anime's climax. [[spoiler: His plan is to create a world where humans and demons can coexist because that's what Yuri, his human lover, wished for. He does this by possessing their son, merging Assiah and Gehana in apocalyptic fashion, and beating their other son when he objects.]]
* OccultBlueEyes: His blue eyes are one of the few identifying features he is known to have.
* PlayingWithFire: His signature blue flames.
* {{Jerkass}}: He treated Rin terribly during their first meeting and all the while possessing [[BadassPreacher Fujimoto]].
* SuperpowerMeltdown: [[PowerDegeneration Destroying hosts]] is a common problem with powerful demons, which is why they use various {{PowerLimiter}}s to stay in Assiah. As the strongest demon of all his mere ''presence'' causes this these leading to a lot of gore and BodyHorror for his unfortunate victims.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Is the only being who can naturally, and efficiently, create a Gehenna Gate. However, there is rarely a person who can last long enough for him to create one.

[[folder:Amaimon]]
[[quoteright:257:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Amaimon_8685.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/TetsuyaKakihara (JP), Creator/DarrelGuilbeau (EN)

Mephisto's younger brother and another son of Satan, known as the "Earth King". He seems rather detached and childish and doesn't care much about Rin, preferring to go tour Japan.

* AnimeHair: He has a horn/spike hairstyle similar to [[ShamanKing Tao Ren's]].
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's only 7th or 8th highest ranking of ''all'' demons in terms of strength, making him one of the ''weakest'' of the demon kings, but he is ''still'' a demon king.
* BerserkButton: A good way to get him serious or into a fight is to laugh at him. So don't laugh at him. ''Ever.''
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He may be odd but he can break a man's arm by poking it and kill any exorcist who tries to stop him.
* BigBrotherBully: In a matter of speaking, towards Rin. They're half-brothers after all, and he beat the kid senseless.
* BigEater: He is often seen eating junk food and candy whenever he appears in but is one of the skinniest members of the cast.
* BigOlEyebrows: Absurdly shaped and large.
* PutOnABus: Disappears after his big fight with Rin in ch13. [[spoiler: He reappears later briefly in both ch39 and ch44, before finally returning at the end of ch82.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He will start talking about surfing while standing on a speeding roller coaster in the middle of a fight or use his fingers as pretend binoculars while spying on his little brother.
* CreepyBlueEyes: Possibly to help show he is one of Satan's children; see occult blue eyes and adaption dye job above.
* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler:In chapter 39, he knocks Rin out in a single hit going into his true form, making it clear that Rin is not stronger than him]]. In the anime, [[spoiler:the positions are reversed, as Rin is capable of [[OneHitKill incinerating him in a single blow]]]].
* DemonicPossession: Technically, for a demon to stay in Assiah aside from being born, they have to do this. An Omake stated he's possessing some poor guy.
* DishingOutDirt: As the [[RedBaron King of Earth]].
* DissonantSerenity: The whole time he's fighting Rin and the others, he seems...calm. Amused. He also lets out a cheerful "yaaaay" when Rin unsheathes Kurikara.
* DullSurprise: Despite having almost 1000 years experience with human emotions he hasn't quite got the hang of [[FrozenFace facial expressions]] yet.
* {{Familiar}}: His is a large hobgoblin called [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Behemoth]].
* FangsAreEvil: His seem more obvious than most because of how often they're shown, since he is often seen eating.
* FunSize: In the anime he can turn into a hamster.
* HellishPupils: Like most demons his pupils are slitted.
* IShallTauntYou: Or in this case "I will pretend to play a Japanese version of tag to get you to fight me" or "I will target your LoveInterest and pretend to marry her (or chew her lips off) to make you take fighting me more seriously".
* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: While his human host appears to be a teenager, the 10th volume of the manga mentions Amaimon has been using him for almost a thousand years.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: By [[spoiler: Berserk!Rin]] in the anime and [[spoiler: Mephisto]] in the manga. Since he is [[{{Immortality}} a demon]] neither case actually kills him, only succeeding in [[spoiler: destroying his host body]] and [[spoiler: turning him into a [[HumanPincushion Demon Pincushion]] respectively.]]
* ItAmusedMe: Like his brother, he's primarily interested in simply doing something that doesn't bore him.
* KnightOfCerebus: As soon as he shows up, things start to get dangerous for Rin. More so on his second appearance, where he seriously threatens and even harms the main cast and forces Rin to use his [[HellFire Blue Flames]] to save them all...resulting in the execution order over his head.
* LightningBruiser: One finger from him could break a bone and he was so fast that [[spoiler:Rin]] could hardly keep up with him.
* MeaningfulName: He shares a name with a Biblical Prince of Hell, which is only to be expected.
* MorphicResonance: His hamster form is mostly green with a lighter colored hair-horn that mimics his human form.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "'Don't screw around' ''is my line''."
* PsychopathicManchild: He treats fighting like its a game to him, wants to kill anyone that he finds annoying, and doesn't care many people up hurt or killed because of his actions long as he doesn't upset his big brother.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He is at ''least'' a thousand years old.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: His true demon form revealed with his "Demon Heart" has very lizard-like qualities like his tail design, scaled arms, and green coloration.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: [[http://www.mangareader.net/406-54591-16/ao-no-exorcist/chapter-13.html Byoooooo~n]].
* SealedEvilInACan: Mephisto essentially has a tight leash on Amaimon at all times and basically gets called out to "train" Rin or some other errand.
* SuperPowerMeltdown: Why he, and most demons, hide their Demon Heart. [[spoiler: Even throwing one [[KamehameHadoken super punch]] was enough to [[PowerStrainBlackout knock himself out]] because of the [[PsychicNosebleed strain]] it put on his host.]]
* SuperStrength: [[FingerPokeOfDoom A poke]] from him ''breaks bone''. He also launches Rin through a ''roller coaster'' by just flicking him.
* SweetTooth: He is often seen eating candy, possibly due to how his [[PunnyName name]] sounds like "Amai Mono" which means "sweet things" in japanese.
* TaremeEyes: An inversion where a [[GenderInvertedTrope male villain]] has 'em.
* TranquilFury: Since his face isn't that expressive he winds up looking really calm even if he's in the middle of punching someone's FACE off.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Similar to how Mephisto has purple hair and Rin has blue hair it is most likely to help show he is a demon.

[[folder: Kuro (Blacky)]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Kuro16_9347.jpg]]
-> Voiced by Creator/AyahiTakagaki (JP), Creator/StephanieSheh (EN)

A cat sith who used to be the guardian deity of some local silk farmers. Was forgotten by people as the times changed, going berserk, but Fujimoto was able to tame him and make him his familiar. Later became Rin's familiar after he calmed Kuro from the rage of hearing about Fujimoto's death.

* BadassAdorable: Adorable as a normal sized cat and badass in his giant size.
* CoolPet: A Size shifting demonic two tailed Cait sith, thus acting as a combination of the Nekomata from Japanese mythology and the Cait Sith from Celtic folklore.
* {{Familiar}}: While not a summon like most familiars he acts as Rin's after Fujimoto's death is explained to him.
* FunSize: He can be small enough to act as a HeadPet.
* HeadPet: In his small form he rides on Rin's head or [[ParrotPetPosition his shoulder.]]
* MegaNeko: He can get to be bigger then some CARS. Rin (and friends) can ride him.
* MultipleTailedBeast: He has two tails of the split version.
* NoPronunciationGuide: The official pronunciation (in the dub at least) is Cat-See, the actual pronunciation is supposed to be Kett-Shee.
* PantheraAwesome: He is a rather impressive example when big and could hold off a bunch of exorcists without much trouble.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: Between huge demon and normal cat sizes.
* {{Telepathy}}: Rin can read his thoughts.

[[folder: Hachiro]]

Known as Hachitaro of the Sanko, this man is a super-high level demon known as a Hydra and the one who initially gave Shura her AncestralWeapon due to a pact made with her ancestor. He's intent on Shura having a child to continue honoring their deal.

'''Unmarked Spoilers''' Below

* AlasPoorVillain: Shura and Rin at the least feel this way.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: '''The''' defining demon with this in this series so far.
* ExtraEyes: Has a ridiculous amount of eyes on his face, which enhances his creepy and inhuman appearance.
* HealingFactor: His healing factor is so strong that he's essentially immortal, and his blood can heal wounds quickly. This makes him a target for the Illuminati.
* MasterSwordsman: Noted to have spent his very long life practicing the sword to kill time. He's the one who taught Shura and her ancestors.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Has white hair because he is a demon.
* PeoplePuppets: Can control people who he lays his eyes on, though he mentions not liking to do it because it dulls the mind.
* ReincarnationRomance: Invoked sans the memories of the past. He falls deeply in love with Tatsuko and wants to be with her always. So, as part of the blood curse, all of Tatsuko's line will be women and they will all look like she did. This way he can be with her forever, at least in his mind.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: He comes off this way because he's intent on making Shura honor her ancestors deal, one way or another.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: He's bored with eternal life being sealed away, so when he fell in love with Tatsuko it was refreshing.

!Illuminati

[[folder: Lucifer]]

Eldest son of Satan and leader of the Illuminati. He is the demon king presiding over light.

* AffablyEvil: Introduces himself very politely despite breaking the seals of True Cross Order branches around the world.
* AnimeHair: Underneath the helmet, has a point in his hair similar to Amaimon's, though not as well-defined.
* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: He's second in the demonic hierarchy of Gehenna, right below ''Satan'' himself. Even in his sickly state, Mephisto states that he, the 3rd strongest demon in Gehenna, is no match for Lucifer.
* BigEntrance:
** Makes projections of lights and [[spoiler:destroys the barrier around the academy]] when he appeared.
** Even later when [[spoiler: introducing himself personally to Yukio]] he makes a big entrance despite the circumstances!
* {{Bishonen}}: Fitting his [[PrettyBoy normal description]], though despite his pale (blond or [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white]]) hair he still [[StrongFamilyResemblance looks a lot like his siblings]] complete with a {{Ahoge}} like bit of hair shaped like a wing that matches the pattern established by Mephisto and Amaimon and a fluffy tail like Rin's.
* CoolHelmet: Mephisto compliments him on it.
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: Though only seen in the shadows in the beginning, it is heavily assumed that, during his preparation for his BigEntrance, he's shown to have been connected to a heart monitor and IV drip. [[spoiler: When we do see all of him it's clear his condition is ''much'' worse than what was implied before.]]
* TheDragon: Hints from some of his dialogue suggest he's this to Satan.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Expresses utter disgust towards [[spoiler:Gedouin and his cruelty before vaporizing him for his disobedient actions]].
* IllBoy: He's ''still'' in bad shape and spends a lot of his speech pausing to [[IncurableCoughOfDeath cough]]. Now the fans have to wonder what can make a ''demon'' that ill... [[spoiler: Judging by what he tells his scientists about making a "perfect body for his father" he might just be suffering a weaker version of [[SuperPowerMeltdown Satan's tendency of destroying his hosts]], like what Amaimon displayed before by releasing his Demon Heart.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Vaporizes Gedouin for disobeying him one too many times. The little man definitely had it coming]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Even more so than the previous one (Amaimon), as Lucifer's first appearance even in ''shadow'' is when things start to get very serious. Come his first full on appearance, and CerebusSyndrome really starts kicking in for the series.
* KnightTemplar: Genuinely believes that mixing the worlds of Gehenna and Assiah will solve the world's ills. Mephisto disagrees, believing that the desire to overcome one's bad situation makes humanity unique.
* LightEmUp: When he makes his entrance and subsequently destroys the barriers of True Cross Order branches around the world.
* LightIsNotGood: Leader of the big baddies and the King of Light, check.
* MeaningfulName: Lucifer means "Light-Bearer", as mentioned above under Rin.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Shows this [[spoiler: when he personally talks to Yukio.]]
* SuperPowerMeltdown: [[spoiler:He pushed his human host just a bit too much with his big entrance and it caused him to cough up some blood. Even showing up in Assiah to ''talk'' for a short period of time causes his human body to brake down like his father does, despite still being hooked up to everything meant to keep him stable.]]
* TearsOfBlood: [[spoiler: Shortly after showing his human face for a brief time to speak with his subordinates he started suffering from these (along with a PsychicNosebleed) to show how ''fragile'' his body really is.]]

[[folder: Saburota Toudou]]

A former exorcist, now demon. His reasons for turning traitor remain unknown but are likely related to his [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy of]], and [[AlwaysSecondBest attempts to catch up with]], his father and siblings.

* AffablyEvil: He is always very polite, even when he [[spoiler:betrays both the exorcists and Mamushi]]. In fact, he arguably became even more polite ''after'' he revealed himself to be evil.
* BatmanGambit: Pulls one off by [[spoiler:obtaining both demon eyes through a bit of [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]] and [[TricksterArchetype trickery]], then using them to deliberately awaken the [[SealedEvilinaCan Impure King]]. He knew that this would cause Tatsuma to show up and try to defeat the Impure King using his familiar Kurara. This weakened Tatsuma, allowing Toudou to kill him (who was saved by a revived Karura) and allow him to eat Karura to gain his power. It had all gone according to plan]].
* BreakingSpeech: Gives one [[spoiler:and more on a regular basis]] to Yukio.
** First one: after revealing himself as an exorcist fallen to a demon, he mentioned he was always in the shadow of his father and brothers, and he never could voice his doubts about his path. It rattles Yukio, but Yukio decides that he is not Saburota, but himself.
** Second one: In their next confrontation, Saburota says that [[spoiler: Yukio's father and brother are what have defined his paths in life and that he had no real choice in his path, leading him to despise his brother for having no idea what agony he went through. Yukio admits that he does love and hate his brother, but above all else he hates himself the most]].
** THIRD one: Following his discovery of [[spoiler: Yukio's [[OccultBlueEyes blue eyes]] (after almost killing the kid) and after Yukio thought Saburota was destroyed, [[FromASingleCell Saburota regenerates]] and comments that self-loathing is the first step to becoming a demon and that Yukio's true nature is that of a demon. [[RageBreakingPoint Yukio has had enough of Toudou by this point]]]].
* CannibalismSuperPower: [[spoiler:He noms demons to control their powers]].
* CompleteImmortality: The logical conclusion of [[spoiler: combining FromASingleCell, FountainOfYouth, and [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld how demons tend to have extremely long lifespans]]]].
* TheCorrupter: He convinced a loyal member of the Kyoto Branch Office to give him the dangerous Right Eye of the Impure King. He is actively attempting to manipulate Yukio for unknown but definitely unsavory ends.
* DrivenByEnvy: Claims that his major reason for becoming Illuminati is because of this towards his elder brothers and father.
* EvilFeelsGood: He implies this much while talking to Yukio. [[spoiler:Said to Yukio almost verbatim as "it's nice to be a demon"]].
* ManChild: His reasons for being with the Illuminati boils down to him throwing a tantrum over how he was never accepted by his family and never could match their expectations. His age regression after [[spoiler: eating Karura]] just makes it more obvious and worse.
* ManipulativeBastard: He got Yukio to talk with him during their fights despite [[IdiotBall Yukio knowing, and earlier explained to Rin and Shiemi]] how dangerous talking with a demon can be.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He was first seen as an Upper Second Class exorcist with a timid personality who provided some [[MrExposition exposition]] about an incident involving one of the demon eyes. He seemed like an incompetent, but reasonably brave and decent, guy. And then it turns out it was all an act. He had in fact already turned traitor and only exposed himelf as TheMole in the chapter in which he was introduced. He has since shown considerable [[NotSoHarmlessVillain competence]] and [[BatmanGambit cunning]]. He is now [[ManipulativeBastard one to watch out for]].
* StalkerWithoutACrush: In his own words, [[spoiler:[[VillainTakesAnInterest he is "very interested" in Yukio]]]].
* StartOfDarkness: He described his. He wanted to be like his father and brother, but was discontent with living a life he felt was shaped by others. Ultimately he became a demon and is working for his own goals.
* YouthfulFreckles: A frightening inversion, as he [[spoiler: [[FountainOfYouth turned younger following devouring Karura]] but he's still a 55 years old]].

[[folder: Illuminati Spies]]

Little is known about them as a whole but so far only one of them has had their identity revealed.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The spy that Lightning and Angel interrogates breaks when [[spoiler: Lightning threatens to harm his wife and child.]]
* TheMole: Their main purpose for the order is to infiltrate and keep tabs on the Order of the True Cross, so far there are two in the Vatican itself and one in the Japanese branch. [[spoiler: For tropes specific to the Japan Branch mole see Renzou Shima in the Cram School Student's section.]]

[[folder: Dr. Gedouin]]

A doctor of the Illuminati.

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Uses the Savior Mask to turn himself into a huge monster to try to kill the heroes]].
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler: Everything he did was to gain praise from Lucifer. Fittingly, not only does Lucifer vaporize him for his disobedience, he expresses disgust at Gedouin's cruelty just before doing so]].
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears glasses and is a complete {{Jerkass}}.
* {{Gonk}}: He has a very squat design which suits him ''[[TropesAreTools perfectly]]'' since it makes him look like a [[FatBastard very fat]] [[PsychopathicManChild child]] instead of a normal adult, he is even shorter than [[spoiler: Izumo's mother]] when he is standing next to them as they is sitting in their wheelchair.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Uses an argument along the lines of humans being worse than demons to justify his atrocities when Rin [[YouMonster calls him out]]. He ''himself'' is worse than a demon, but fewer others are.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Cares about absolutely nothing aside from pleasing Lucifer and his own personal advancement.
* {{Jerkass}}: He has no problems telling [[spoiler: Izumo]] ''exactly'' what he will do to [[spoiler: her and her sister]] after showing them [[KickTheDog what was left of their mother]] after he experimented on her for ''years''.
* LackOfEmpathy: He in fact relishes over others' suffering.
* MadScientist: Let's just say whoever he experiments on [[BodyHorror does not come out in one piece]].
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Manages to survive getting incinerated by the heroes thanks to the elixir experiments he conducted on himself. Lucifer [[DeathByIrony fixes that]] in the next chapter]].
* PerpetualSmiler: He is always smiling, especially when he's causing people pain.

!Others

[[folder: Tamamo Kamiki]]

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:Possessed by the spirit of the Nine-Tailed Fox and subjected to years of experimentation that has left her an emaciated and bandaged mess.]]

* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:She's been experimented on and reduced to a withered husk of a woman as a result of being possessed and captured by the Illuminati]]
* GagBoobs: Very, very stacked [[spoiler: which is hilarious since Izumo isn't.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She forcefully takes the Nine Tails that's possessing Izumo so that when she dies it will go with her, saving Izumo and screwing up the Illuminati's plans.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: Turns out the reason Izumo can go to True Cross is because of money she left behind for her.]]
* MamaBear: [[spoiler:Once she's freed of the Nine Tails influence because it possessed her daughter, she stood up for what must have been the first time in years and proceeded to not only avoid its attacks but remove it.]]
* {{Miko}}: Older than the usual version, but was a ''very'' powerful one. [[spoiler:She was in possession by the Nine Tails for five years and never gave in enough for it to overtake her whereas her daughter couldn't last more than a few minutes. On top of that she forcefully exorcised it out of Izumo and into her while it was trying to kill her without much effort and in a body that hadn't been mobile for ages.]]
* OffingTheOffspring: Attempted to do this [[spoiler: after being possessed.]]
* ThePowerOfHate: [[spoiler: The Ninetails that possessed her seems to run off of this, getting into her as she starts to get angry and resentful of others, starting to hate aspects of her life.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Obviously, considering her big impact and role in regards to [[spoiler: Izumo's past and the Illuminati]].
* WomanChild: Was incredibly immature, introduced crying over people not liking her and asking her daughter for help there. [[spoiler: her immature nature not only hints at how much power the Inami family had over her but led to her getting possessed as she didn't have the mental fortitude to handle her lover's rejection.]]

[[folder: Tsukumo Kamiki//[[spoiler: Tsukiko Takara]]]]

An adorable little girl with ties to Izumo's past as she is her sister and the reason behind all of her actions before and during Inari.

* CheerfulChild: She's almost never not seeing smiling and when she's not it's rather heartbreaking.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] [[spoiler: Izumo adores her and she's very polite and sweet to her sister and others even as Tsukiko.]]
* NoInfantileAmnesia: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] to an heartbreaking extent as [[spoiler: Tsukiko can't even recognize Izumo despite how much she looks like her.]]
* {{Protectorate}}: To [[spoiler:Izumo. This is exploited as it makes it easy for the Illuminati to manipulate Izumo.]]
* SpoiledSweet: [[spoiler: What she has become as Tsukiko Takara, as her brief appearance shows her being very polite to her foster parents and even Izumo when she suddenly shows up in their garden.]]
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: [[spoiler: Asks this of Izumo as Tamamo starts avoiding her daughters and home.]]

[[folder: Yuri Egin (Manga)]]

[[AntiAntiChrist Rin and Yukio]]'s mother. Not much is known about her, aside from the previous fact and the fact that she was a Lower First Class exorcist. Even in-universe her true status appears to be unknown.

* ButNotTooForeign: Her name suggests she's of mixed-heritage.
* MissingMom: Whatever happened to her, she's definitely absent from her sons' lives.
* TheLostLenore: In ch78, how Shura refers to her suggests [[spoiler: she might be this for ''Shiro''!]]

[[folder: Ernst Frederik Egin]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ernst_683.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Toshihiko Miki (JP), Dave Mallow (EN)

The Grandfather to Rin and Yukio on their mother's side. He's first seen during the Blue Night in episode one and absent until the final arc. Having lost his daughter, Rin and Yukio's mother to a witch hunt, he has good reasons for his prejudice against all things demon, as well as some ill will towards members of the [[ChurchMilitant True Cross Order]].[[spoiler: Though his telling of the story isn't entirely true.]]
----

* BigBad: He's arguably this for the Anime along with Satan, as most of the bad things that happen in the anime's continuity, directly or not, can be blamed on him.
* CanonForeigner: Added exclusively to the anime for the sake of the GeckoEnding.
* ChurchMilitant: The True Cross Order was always this, but after he's appointed as [[spoiler:the new Pope]] he [[UpToEleven brings it up to eleven]] by giving high school students enchanted sub-machine guns.
* EvilLaugh: When his gate is open and the Messiah bomb is about to drop, he lets out a mighty one of these.
* FantasticRacism: Towards demons. Not even his daughter is safe if she shows sympathy towards them.
* KnightTemplar: Willing to kill [[spoiler:his own grandson]] through an ''extremely'' painful [[ReligionIsMagic magical/religious]] ritual in order to "win the war against Gehena."
* LaserGuidedKarma: Why he has to wear a mask. [[spoiler: He condemned his daughter and her blue-flame lover possessed him to free her. The result was a nasty burn mark.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:He loses his calm demeanor once his Messiah bomb failed to destroy Hell, and becomes terrified when he is being dragged into it, he frantically begs Yukio to save him. Except Yukio found out that Ernst ordered the witch hunt to kill Yuri and leaves him for dead.]]

[[folder: Yuri Egin (Anime)]]
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Yuri_Egin_8291.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Music/MegumiHayashibara (JP), Creator/CheramiLeigh (EN)

The Anime Exclusive version of Yuri Egin is detailed below. The manga version has yet to be revealed.

A lower-second class exorcist who gave birth to Rin and Yukio. She was known as the "Witch of the Forest" and was ordered to be [[BurnTheWitch burned at the stake]]. This lead to the Blue Night.
----
* AllLovingHeroine: She believes that humans and demons can co-exist. In her view, the only thing preventing this from happening is a refusal to understand each other.
* BeautyMark: She had a mole under her eyes. Her son Yukio got them from her.
* BurnTheWitch: She was tied to a stake and ordered to be burned. [[spoiler: Her demonic lover prevented that from happening.]]
* ButNotTooForeign: Her father is definitely not Japanese, but her name suggests that her mother was.
* CanonForeigner: She was first established in the anime's continuity. The manga version has nothing except but her name and rank so far revealed.
* DeathByChildbirth: She died giving birth to her sons.
* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: Yes, yes she did. [[spoiler: In the anime, this is why the Blue Night happened - Satan refused to let her be murdered over this trope, and searched for a host within the nearby clergy. All of them disintegrated immediately, except for her own father.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Including demons, which caused her to be known as the "Witch of the forest" and why she could bond with SATAN of all people.
* TheLostLenore: To Satan. In the anime, [[spoiler:he wishes to create a world where humans and demons can coexist because that's what Yuri wished for]].
* MissingMom: Her sons never met her.
* MoralityPet: To Satan. She helped him understand the meaning of life and he cared about her enough to [[spoiler:cause the Blue Night in an attempt to save her from her execution]].
* PosthumousCharacter: We only learn about her through flashbacks.
* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:She was able to host Satan, so they bonded, one thing led to another... and then we got Rin and Yukio.]]
* SympathyForTheDevil: In a more literal sense, which is why she wound up having his kids.
* WideEyedIdealist: Enthusiastic in her belief that demons and humans could co-exist despite the eternal war going on, and heedless of criticism. [[spoiler: Even Satan loved the ideology - unfortunately, he got it a bit twisted around by the time he could act on it]].

!Movie Exclusive

[[folder: Usamaro]]
->Voiced by: Creator/RieKugimiya (JP), Creator/CassandraLee (EN)

A child-like demon Rin found who seems to have amnesia.
----

* AnimalMotifs: A rabbit, which is why he is named ''Usa''maro because "Usa" means "Rabbit".
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Even demonic children apparently. [[spoiler: Except this is a ''bad'' thing since he is too innocent to understand how much damage his attempts to "help" those around him actually causes.]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A really friendly blond once he gets used to you.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: He reverses time and destroys himself to save the city.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Considering his memory loss he seems to be the victim of it.[[spoiler:.. Except since he is the very same demon from the fairytale this is actually his trademark technique.]]
* PureIsNotGood: Just because he is sweet and innocent child who just wants to help people doesn't mean he isn't a threat to others. [[spoiler: Just ask the last town he "helped".]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[TechnicolorEyes Mostly red at least]], like a rabbit's... But he is demon, which should be warning enough.
* RetGone: [[spoiler: erases himself, and only Rin and Liu remember him.]]
* TimeLord: Kinda, since officially he is considered to be "kin of Saemel, King of Time" he can be considered one of these. [[spoiler: His ability to "eat" memories is apparently based on erasing the event from a person's personal history, or changing past events so the person doesn't remember them happening so his connection to "Time" isn't that strange.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Cheng-Long Liu]]
->Voiced by: Creator/HidenobuKiuchi (JP), Creator/ToddHaberkorn (EN)

A Senior Exorcist First Class from the Taiwan Branch.
----

%%* AntiHero: Type 3 or 4.
* TheCynic: Until Rin [[spoiler: astounds him and lets him see what it's like to open up a demon's heart.]]
%%* FingerlessGloves
* HeroicAlbino: Sits on the boundary, since he is an exorcist, just doing his job.
* HeroicLineage: He's descended from the exorcist that sealed away Usamaro the first time.
* KnightTemplar: He's not quite this, but he does make jokes about being one.
* NiceHat: A Chinese bamboo hat, he gets rid of it early on.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Seems to have this, which might be why his ancestor was able to seal the memory based demon from the fairytale.
%%* ShortHairWithATail:
%%* SimpleStaff
%%* WellIntentionedExtremist
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Subverted. He ''acts'' like a ruthless killer of demons, but he's really not that bad.

[[/folder]]

!Kyoto/Myōō Dharani

[[folder:Tatsuma Suguro]]

The Most High Priest and Ryuji's father.

* AFatherToHisMen: Is definitely this to the members of the Myōō Dharani as shown when [[spoiler: he shows up BigDamnHeroes style to save Mamushi.]]
* BrokenPedestal: To Ryuji and [[spoiler: Mamushi]] due to how he distances himself from exorcist work and the temple group.
* CoolOldGuy: No matter how badly he's treated or how his temple is insulted he just smiles and stays calm to try and keep Ryuji from being discouraged.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: That odd, slightly perverted and almost wimpy guy over there? He is the head priest of the Myōō Dharani and if you give him a reason, he will show you that he ''definitely'' earned it.
* PlayingWithFire: Through his familiar Karura, he wields fire.
* RebuiltPedestal: The events of the Kyoto arc reveal what he really intends and desires, allowing Ryuji to regain his faith in his father.
* SecretKeeper: He holds all the secrets of the Myōō Dharani [[spoiler: and it is such that is the source of his contract with Karura.]]

[[folder:Juuzou Shima]]

An Upper Second Class Exorcist and the 2nd son of the Shima family.

* BelligerentSexualTension: With Mamushi. Emphasis on the Belligerent part as [[spoiler: even after they are engaged, Mamushi scratches up his face.]]
* BigBrotherMentor: To his younger brothers he is a good teacher. He also acts like this towards Ryuji and Konekomaru, even in childhood, but not so much to [[TheUnfavourite Renzo]]. Though that's partially because while Juuzo looks up to his deceased older brother Takezo, Renzo doesn't, resulting in a gape between them.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible level headed [[RedOniBlueOni blue oni]] to Kinzou's more foolish red oni.
* FriendToAllChildren: His profile notes him to be one, and in flashbacks, he's shown to be protective and caring towards a younger Renzou, Ryuji, and Konekomaru.
* NiceGuy: He's genuinely a good guy and quite polite too.
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: To [[spoiler: Mamushi, after the Kyoto arc they get together and are now engaged.]]

[[folder:Kinzou Shima]]

The fourth son of the Shima family, Renzō's older brother and a Middle Second-Class exorcist.

* AttackHello: He usually greets Shima with a tackle or a punch.
* BigBrotherBully: Greets his brother with a punch! Despite that, he's really a minor example and shows more [[BigBrotherInstinct care]] than other cases of this trope.
* BuxomIsBetter: His reasoning for not accepting Juuzo wanting to marry Mamushi is because she has small breasts.
* DumbBlond: Is an idiot and has blond hair.
* DyeHard: [[invoked]] He dyed his hair and it's most likely because the "Kin"(金) in his name means "gold".
%%%%
%%%%%Please don't move this trope to a second bullet. It's a violation of example indentation.
%%%
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The hot blooded foolish [[RedOniBlueOni red oni]] to Juuzou's more responsible blue oni.
* HiddenDepths: He's very good at playing the shamisen. Shame his chosen genre is a hard one to listen to...
* HotBlooded: Very energetic and even willing to attack the [[EldritchAbomination Impure King]] head on. WordOfGod also says he was a ''very'' energetic child.
* IdiotHero: Referred to as a "fucking idiot" and doesn't do anything but prove it's true.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: A light novel chapter focusing on a Christmas with the Kyoto Trio that takes place pre-joining up with True Cross, has him ''constantly'' forget about Renzo, calling Ryuji and Konekomaru his "precious little brothers" but makes no mention of Renzo. Renzo [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this but Kinzo doesn't notice.
* ShipperOnDeck: In the bonus chapter "Kin-nii's Band Has Zero Popularity" Kinzo forces tickets on Renzo and encourages him to ask out Izumo once he realizes he likes her.
* TheQuietOne: Despite all of above, he tends to stick to the background and stay quiet more often than not. He only gets talkative really with those he knows.

[[folder: Mamushi Hojo]]

The eldest sibling of the three Hojo daughters and a Middle First-Class exorcist at the Kyoto Branch.

* AnimalMotifs: Snakes, like the rest of her family.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Juuzou. Even after they [[spoiler: get engaged]] they still bicker and Mamushi even scratches up his face.
* CoolBigSis: To her two younger sisters who clearly admire her.
* FluffyTamer: Of snake demons.
* MeaningfulName: Mamushi means "Pit Viper" fitting with the rest of her familiy's snake based ThemeNaming.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Her hair is very pale and she's rather pretty. Not to mention a very competent Tamer.
* {{Oneesama}}: As the eldest of the three Hojo sisters and adored by the younger two.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Her apperance, temper, and Naga familiars help give this impression. [[spoiler: Getting the Right Eye of the Impure King for Toudou didn't help her case at all]]. In reality, she's actually quite nice and a good girl, abet [[spoiler: one easily fooled and played by Toudou.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Hojo/Houjou
* SummonMagic: Is capable of summoning a snake demon to fight.
* {{Tsundere}}: A lighter example than most. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Except for her clawing up Juzo's face as revenge]] [[spoiler: for the roundabout proposal.]]
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: To [[spoiler: Juuzou, as he proposes (via asking her father for permission) after the Kyoto arc and they are now engaged.]]

[[folder: Takezou Shima]]

The eldest sibling of Juuzou, Kinzou and Renzou. Died during the Blue Night to save Renzo and Ryuji.

* HeroicSacrifice: Saved a baby Renzou and Ryuji during the Blue Night and died for it.
* PosthumousCharacter: His self-sacrifice shaped Kinzou's and Juuzou's dedication to exorcism. [[spoiler:Renzou, on the other hand, is deeply bothered by the lofty status given to someone who died. This influences his choice to become a DoubleAgent.]]

!Demons

[[folder: Satan, The Demon King]]

The ruler of Gehenna, and father of Rin and Yukio, along with Samael, Amaimon and Lucifer.

* ArchnemesisDad: While he may be Rin and Yukio's father he is the Big Bad of the series.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The ruler of Gehenna, first of the eight demon kings, and is so powerful his mere presence destroys most of his human hosts.
* AxCrazy: First appearance in the manga and anime ''reeks'' of this. In the anime, [[spoiler: after possessing Yukio and playing pyromaniac he seriously keeps up that appearance. Yet with [[MoralityPet Yuri]], he was quite sane and even inquisitive.]]
* BigBad: The king of Gehenna, leader of the demons, and the primary cause of Rin's conflict.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: [[spoiler:Oh, Satan. When Yuri said she dreamed of a world where demons and humans could live together, she didn't mean that you should [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt turn Assiah into a wasteland in the process]]. Also, "nurturing a life" implies that you are not allowed to [[DemonicPossession possess said life at a later date]]. PoorCommunicationKills indeed]].
* BodyHorror: Anyone he possesses without sufficient compatibility will burn and mutate.
* DemonicPossession: He tries but always fails. The number of people who can perfectly house his full power is limited to less than five people. Everyone else spontaneously bursts into flames.
%%* ExactWords: ''[[DealWithTheDevil He's freaking Satan.]]''
* {{Hellfire}}: His trademark [[TechnicolorFire blue]] flames. He's the ruler of the place where this stuff comes from.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Due his inability to stay in Aisha for more than a few seconds, he's more of a background character despite his authority and power.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: In the anime's climax. [[spoiler: His plan is to create a world where humans and demons can coexist because that's what Yuri, his human lover, wished for. He does this by possessing their son, merging Assiah and Gehana in apocalyptic fashion, and beating their other son when he objects.]]
* OccultBlueEyes: His blue eyes are one of the few identifying features he is known to have.
* PlayingWithFire: His signature blue flames.
* {{Jerkass}}: He treated Rin terribly during their first meeting and all the while possessing [[BadassPreacher Fujimoto]].
* SuperpowerMeltdown: [[PowerDegeneration Destroying hosts]] is a common problem with powerful demons, which is why they use various {{PowerLimiter}}s to stay in Assiah. As the strongest demon of all his mere ''presence'' causes this these leading to a lot of gore and BodyHorror for his unfortunate victims.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Is the only being who can naturally, and efficiently, create a Gehenna Gate. However, there is rarely a person who can last long enough for him to create one.

[[folder: Amaimon]]
[[quoteright:257:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Amaimon_8685.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/TetsuyaKakihara (JP), Creator/DarrelGuilbeau (EN)

Mephisto's younger brother and another son of Satan, known as the "Earth King". He seems rather detached and childish and doesn't care much about Rin, preferring to go tour Japan.

* AnimeHair: He has a horn/spike hairstyle similar to [[ShamanKing Tao Ren's]].
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's only 7th or 8th highest ranking of ''all'' demons in terms of strength, making him one of the ''weakest'' of the demon kings, but he is ''still'' a demon king.
* BerserkButton: A good way to get him serious or into a fight is to laugh at him. So don't laugh at him. ''Ever.''
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He may be odd but he can break a man's arm by poking it and kill any exorcist who tries to stop him.
* BigBrotherBully: In a matter of speaking, towards Rin. They're half-brothers after all, and he beat the kid senseless.
* BigEater: He is often seen eating junk food and candy whenever he appears in but is one of the skinniest members of the cast.
* BigOlEyebrows: Absurdly shaped and large.
* PutOnABus: Disappears after his big fight with Rin in ch13. [[spoiler: He reappears later briefly in both ch39 and ch44, before finally returning at the end of ch82.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He will start talking about surfing while standing on a speeding roller coaster in the middle of a fight or use his fingers as pretend binoculars while spying on his little brother.
* CreepyBlueEyes: Possibly to help show he is one of Satan's children; see occult blue eyes and adaption dye job above.
* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler:In chapter 39, he knocks Rin out in a single hit going into his true form, making it clear that Rin is not stronger than him]]. In the anime, [[spoiler:the positions are reversed, as Rin is capable of [[OneHitKill incinerating him in a single blow]]]].
* DemonicPossession: Technically, for a demon to stay in Assiah aside from being born, they have to do this. An Omake stated he's possessing some poor guy.
* DishingOutDirt: As the [[RedBaron King of Earth]].
* DissonantSerenity: The whole time he's fighting Rin and the others, he seems...calm. Amused. He also lets out a cheerful "yaaaay" when Rin unsheathes Kurikara.
* DullSurprise: Despite having almost 1000 years experience with human emotions he hasn't quite got the hang of [[FrozenFace facial expressions]] yet.
* {{Familiar}}: His is a large hobgoblin called [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Behemoth]].
* FangsAreEvil: His seem more obvious than most because of how often they're shown, since he is often seen eating.
* FunSize: In the anime he can turn into a hamster.
* HellishPupils: Like most demons his pupils are slitted.
* IShallTauntYou: Or in this case "I will pretend to play a Japanese version of tag to get you to fight me" or "I will target your LoveInterest and pretend to marry her (or chew her lips off) to make you take fighting me more seriously".
* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: While his human host appears to be a teenager, the 10th volume of the manga mentions Amaimon has been using him for almost a thousand years.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: By [[spoiler: Berserk!Rin]] in the anime and [[spoiler: Mephisto]] in the manga. Since he is [[{{Immortality}} a demon]] neither case actually kills him, only succeeding in [[spoiler: destroying his host body]] and [[spoiler: turning him into a [[HumanPincushion Demon Pincushion]] respectively.]]
* ItAmusedMe: Like his brother, he's primarily interested in simply doing something that doesn't bore him.
* KnightOfCerebus: As soon as he shows up, things start to get dangerous for Rin. More so on his second appearance, where he seriously threatens and even harms the main cast and forces Rin to use his [[HellFire Blue Flames]] to save them all...resulting in the execution order over his head.
* LightningBruiser: One finger from him could break a bone and he was so fast that [[spoiler:Rin]] could hardly keep up with him.
* MeaningfulName: He shares a name with a Biblical Prince of Hell, which is only to be expected.
* MorphicResonance: His hamster form is mostly green with a lighter colored hair-horn that mimics his human form.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "'Don't screw around' ''is my line''."
* PsychopathicManchild: He treats fighting like its a game to him, wants to kill anyone that he finds annoying, and doesn't care many people up hurt or killed because of his actions long as he doesn't upset his big brother.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He is at ''least'' a thousand years old.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: His true demon form revealed with his "Demon Heart" has very lizard-like qualities like his tail design, scaled arms, and green coloration.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: [[http://www.mangareader.net/406-54591-16/ao-no-exorcist/chapter-13.html Byoooooo~n]].
* SealedEvilInACan: Mephisto essentially has a tight leash on Amaimon at all times and basically gets called out to "train" Rin or some other errand.
* SuperPowerMeltdown: Why he, and most demons, hide their Demon Heart. [[spoiler: Even throwing one [[KamehameHadoken super punch]] was enough to [[PowerStrainBlackout knock himself out]] because of the [[PsychicNosebleed strain]] it put on his host.]]
* SuperStrength: [[FingerPokeOfDoom A poke]] from him ''breaks bone''. He also launches Rin through a ''roller coaster'' by just flicking him.
* SweetTooth: He is often seen eating candy, possibly due to how his [[PunnyName name]] sounds like "Amai Mono" which means "sweet things" in japanese.
* TaremeEyes: An inversion where a [[GenderInvertedTrope male villain]] has 'em.
* TranquilFury: Since his face isn't that expressive he winds up looking really calm even if he's in the middle of punching someone's FACE off.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Similar to how Mephisto has purple hair and Rin has blue hair it is most likely to help show he is a demon.

[[folder: Kuro (Blacky)]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Kuro16_9347.jpg]]
-> Voiced by Creator/AyahiTakagaki (JP), Creator/StephanieSheh (EN)

A cat sith who used to be the guardian deity of some local silk farmers. Was forgotten by people as the times changed, going berserk, but Fujimoto was able to tame him and make him his familiar. Later became Rin's familiar after he calmed Kuro from the rage of hearing about Fujimoto's death.

* BadassAdorable: Adorable as a normal sized cat and badass in his giant size.
* CoolPet: A Size shifting demonic two tailed Cait sith, thus acting as a combination of the Nekomata from Japanese mythology and the Cait Sith from Celtic folklore.
* {{Familiar}}: While not a summon like most familiars he acts as Rin's after Fujimoto's death is explained to him.
* FunSize: He can be small enough to act as a HeadPet.
* HeadPet: In his small form he rides on Rin's head or [[ParrotPetPosition his shoulder.]]
* MegaNeko: He can get to be bigger then some CARS. Rin (and friends) can ride him.
* MultipleTailedBeast: He has two tails of the split version.
* NoPronunciationGuide: The official pronunciation (in the dub at least) is Cat-See, the actual pronunciation is supposed to be Kett-Shee.
* PantheraAwesome: He is a rather impressive example when big and could hold off a bunch of exorcists without much trouble.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: Between huge demon and normal cat sizes.
* {{Telepathy}}: Rin can read his thoughts.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: '''The''' defining demon with this in this series so far.
* ExtraEyes: Has a ridiculous amount of eyes on his face, which enhances his creepy and inhuman appearance.
* HealingFactor: His healing factor is so strong that he's essentially immortal, and his blood can heal wounds quickly. This makes him a target for the Illuminati.
* MasterSwordsman: Noted to have spent his very long life practicing the sword to kill time. He's the one who taught Shura and her ancestors.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Has white hair because he is a demon.
* PeoplePuppets: Can control people who he lays his eyes on, though he mentions not liking to do it because it dulls the mind.
* ReincarnationRomance: Invoked sans the memories of the past. He falls deeply in love with Tatsuko and wants to be with her always. So, as part of the blood curse, all of Tatsuko's line will be women and they will all look like she did. This way he can be with her forever, at least in his mind.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: He comes off this way because he's intent on making Shura honor her ancestors deal, one way or another.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: He's bored with eternal life being sealed away, so when he fell in love with Tatsuko it was refreshing.

!Illuminati

[[folder: Lucifer]]

Eldest son of Satan and leader of the Illuminati. He is the demon king presiding over light.

* AffablyEvil: Introduces himself very politely despite breaking the seals of True Cross Order branches around the world.
* AnimeHair: Underneath the helmet, has a point in his hair similar to Amaimon's, though not as well-defined.
* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: He's second in the demonic hierarchy of Gehenna, right below ''Satan'' himself. Even in his sickly state, Mephisto states that he, the 3rd strongest demon in Gehenna, is no match for Lucifer.
* BigEntrance:
** Makes projections of lights and [[spoiler:destroys the barrier around the academy]] when he appeared.
** Even later when [[spoiler: introducing himself personally to Yukio]] he makes a big entrance despite the circumstances!
* {{Bishonen}}: Fitting his [[PrettyBoy normal description]], though despite his pale (blond or [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white]]) hair he still [[StrongFamilyResemblance looks a lot like his siblings]] complete with a {{Ahoge}} like bit of hair shaped like a wing that matches the pattern established by Mephisto and Amaimon and a fluffy tail like Rin's.
* CoolHelmet: Mephisto compliments him on it.
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: Though only seen in the shadows in the beginning, it is heavily assumed that, during his preparation for his BigEntrance, he's shown to have been connected to a heart monitor and IV drip. [[spoiler: When we do see all of him it's clear his condition is ''much'' worse than what was implied before.]]
* TheDragon: Hints from some of his dialogue suggest he's this to Satan.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Expresses utter disgust towards [[spoiler:Gedouin and his cruelty before vaporizing him for his disobedient actions]].
* IllBoy: He's ''still'' in bad shape and spends a lot of his speech pausing to [[IncurableCoughOfDeath cough]]. Now the fans have to wonder what can make a ''demon'' that ill... [[spoiler: Judging by what he tells his scientists about making a "perfect body for his father" he might just be suffering a weaker version of [[SuperPowerMeltdown Satan's tendency of destroying his hosts]], like what Amaimon displayed before by releasing his Demon Heart.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Vaporizes Gedouin for disobeying him one too many times. The little man definitely had it coming]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Even more so than the previous one (Amaimon), as Lucifer's first appearance even in ''shadow'' is when things start to get very serious. Come his first full on appearance, and CerebusSyndrome really starts kicking in for the series.
* KnightTemplar: Genuinely believes that mixing the worlds of Gehenna and Assiah will solve the world's ills. Mephisto disagrees, believing that the desire to overcome one's bad situation makes humanity unique.
* LightEmUp: When he makes his entrance and subsequently destroys the barriers of True Cross Order branches around the world.
* LightIsNotGood: Leader of the big baddies and the King of Light, check.
* MeaningfulName: Lucifer means "Light-Bearer", as mentioned above under Rin.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Shows this [[spoiler: when he personally talks to Yukio.]]
* SuperPowerMeltdown: [[spoiler:He pushed his human host just a bit too much with his big entrance and it caused him to cough up some blood. Even showing up in Assiah to ''talk'' for a short period of time causes his human body to brake down like his father does, despite still being hooked up to everything meant to keep him stable.]]
* TearsOfBlood: [[spoiler: Shortly after showing his human face for a brief time to speak with his subordinates he started suffering from these (along with a PsychicNosebleed) to show how ''fragile'' his body really is.]]

[[folder: Saburota Toudou]]

A former exorcist, now demon. His reasons for turning traitor remain unknown but are likely related to his [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy of]], and [[AlwaysSecondBest attempts to catch up with]], his father and siblings.

* AffablyEvil: He is always very polite, even when he [[spoiler:betrays both the exorcists and Mamushi]]. In fact, he arguably became even more polite ''after'' he revealed himself to be evil.
* BatmanGambit: Pulls one off by [[spoiler:obtaining both demon eyes through a bit of [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]] and [[TricksterArchetype trickery]], then using them to deliberately awaken the [[SealedEvilinaCan Impure King]]. He knew that this would cause Tatsuma to show up and try to defeat the Impure King using his familiar Kurara. This weakened Tatsuma, allowing Toudou to kill him (who was saved by a revived Karura) and allow him to eat Karura to gain his power. It had all gone according to plan]].
* BreakingSpeech: Gives one [[spoiler:and more on a regular basis]] to Yukio.
** First one: after revealing himself as an exorcist fallen to a demon, he mentioned he was always in the shadow of his father and brothers, and he never could voice his doubts about his path. It rattles Yukio, but Yukio decides that he is not Saburota, but himself.
** Second one: In their next confrontation, Saburota says that [[spoiler: Yukio's father and brother are what have defined his paths in life and that he had no real choice in his path, leading him to despise his brother for having no idea what agony he went through. Yukio admits that he does love and hate his brother, but above all else he hates himself the most]].
** THIRD one: Following his discovery of [[spoiler: Yukio's [[OccultBlueEyes blue eyes]] (after almost killing the kid) and after Yukio thought Saburota was destroyed, [[FromASingleCell Saburota regenerates]] and comments that self-loathing is the first step to becoming a demon and that Yukio's true nature is that of a demon. [[RageBreakingPoint Yukio has had enough of Toudou by this point]]]].
* CannibalismSuperPower: [[spoiler:He noms demons to control their powers]].
* CompleteImmortality: The logical conclusion of [[spoiler: combining FromASingleCell, FountainOfYouth, and [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld how demons tend to have extremely long lifespans]]]].
* TheCorrupter: He convinced a loyal member of the Kyoto Branch Office to give him the dangerous Right Eye of the Impure King. He is actively attempting to manipulate Yukio for unknown but definitely unsavory ends.
* DrivenByEnvy: Claims that his major reason for becoming Illuminati is because of this towards his elder brothers and father.
* EvilFeelsGood: He implies this much while talking to Yukio. [[spoiler:Said to Yukio almost verbatim as "it's nice to be a demon"]].
* ManChild: His reasons for being with the Illuminati boils down to him throwing a tantrum over how he was never accepted by his family and never could match their expectations. His age regression after [[spoiler: eating Karura]] just makes it more obvious and worse.
* ManipulativeBastard: He got Yukio to talk with him during their fights despite [[IdiotBall Yukio knowing, and earlier explained to Rin and Shiemi]] how dangerous talking with a demon can be.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He was first seen as an Upper Second Class exorcist with a timid personality who provided some [[MrExposition exposition]] about an incident involving one of the demon eyes. He seemed like an incompetent, but reasonably brave and decent, guy. And then it turns out it was all an act. He had in fact already turned traitor and only exposed himelf as TheMole in the chapter in which he was introduced. He has since shown considerable [[NotSoHarmlessVillain competence]] and [[BatmanGambit cunning]]. He is now [[ManipulativeBastard one to watch out for]].
* StalkerWithoutACrush: In his own words, [[spoiler:[[VillainTakesAnInterest he is "very interested" in Yukio]]]].
* StartOfDarkness: He described his. He wanted to be like his father and brother, but was discontent with living a life he felt was shaped by others. Ultimately he became a demon and is working for his own goals.
* YouthfulFreckles: A frightening inversion, as he [[spoiler: [[FountainOfYouth turned younger following devouring Karura]] but he's still a 55 years old]].

[[folder: Illuminati Spies]]

Little is known about them as a whole but so far only one of them has had their identity revealed.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The spy that Lightning and Angel interrogates breaks when [[spoiler: Lightning threatens to harm his wife and child.]]
* TheMole: Their main purpose for the order is to infiltrate and keep tabs on the Order of the True Cross, so far there are two in the Vatican itself and one in the Japanese branch. [[spoiler: For tropes specific to the Japan Branch mole see Renzou Shima in the Cram School Student's section.]]

[[folder: Dr. Gedouin]]

A doctor of the Illuminati.

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Uses the Savior Mask to turn himself into a huge monster to try to kill the heroes]].
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler: Everything he did was to gain praise from Lucifer. Fittingly, not only does Lucifer vaporize him for his disobedience, he expresses disgust at Gedouin's cruelty just before doing so]].
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears glasses and is a complete {{Jerkass}}.
* {{Gonk}}: He has a very squat design which suits him ''[[TropesAreTools perfectly]]'' since it makes him look like a [[FatBastard very fat]] [[PsychopathicManChild child]] instead of a normal adult, he is even shorter than [[spoiler: Izumo's mother]] when he is standing next to them as they is sitting in their wheelchair.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Uses an argument along the lines of humans being worse than demons to justify his atrocities when Rin [[YouMonster calls him out]]. He ''himself'' is worse than a demon, but fewer others are.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Cares about absolutely nothing aside from pleasing Lucifer and his own personal advancement.
* {{Jerkass}}: He has no problems telling [[spoiler: Izumo]] ''exactly'' what he will do to [[spoiler: her and her sister]] after showing them [[KickTheDog what was left of their mother]] after he experimented on her for ''years''.
* LackOfEmpathy: He in fact relishes over others' suffering.
* MadScientist: Let's just say whoever he experiments on [[BodyHorror does not come out in one piece]].
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Manages to survive getting incinerated by the heroes thanks to the elixir experiments he conducted on himself. Lucifer [[DeathByIrony fixes that]] in the next chapter]].
* PerpetualSmiler: He is always smiling, especially when he's causing people pain.

!Others

[[folder: Tamamo Kamiki]]

The previous head of the Inari Shrine and Izumo's mother.

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Wasn't initially, but being told by your husband that he won't hang out with you because he thinks children are pains turned her into this.]]
* BandageBabe: [[spoiler:Currently spending her time covered in bandages, strapped to a wheelchair.]]
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:Possessed by the spirit of the Nine-Tailed Fox and subjected to years of experimentation that has left her an emaciated and bandaged mess.]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:The weakness in her heart caused her to be possessed by the Ninetail Fox she was supposed to be keeping sealed.]]

* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:She's been experimented on and reduced to a withered husk of a woman as a result of being possessed and captured by the Illuminati]]
* GagBoobs: Very, very stacked [[spoiler: which is hilarious since Izumo isn't.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She forcefully takes the Nine Tails that's possessing Izumo so that when she dies it will go with her, saving Izumo and screwing up the Illuminati's plans.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: Turns out the reason Izumo can go to True Cross is because of money she left behind for her.]]
* MamaBear: [[spoiler:Once she's freed of the Nine Tails influence because it possessed her daughter, she stood up for what must have been the first time in years and proceeded to not only avoid its attacks but remove it.]]
* {{Miko}}: Older than the usual version, but was a ''very'' powerful one. [[spoiler:She was in possession by the Nine Tails for five years and never gave in enough for it to overtake her whereas her daughter couldn't last more than a few minutes. On top of that she forcefully exorcised it out of Izumo and into her while it was trying to kill her without much effort and in a body that hadn't been mobile for ages.]]
* OffingTheOffspring: Attempted to do this [[spoiler: after being possessed.]]
* ThePowerOfHate: [[spoiler: The Ninetails that possessed her seems to run off of this, getting into her as she starts to get angry and resentful of others, starting to hate aspects of her life.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Obviously, considering her big impact and role in regards to [[spoiler: Izumo's past and the Illuminati]].
* WomanChild: Was incredibly immature, introduced crying over people not liking her and asking her daughter for help there. [[spoiler: her immature nature not only hints at how much power the Inami family had over her but led to her getting possessed as she didn't have the mental fortitude to handle her lover's rejection.]]

[[folder: Tsukumo Kamiki//[[spoiler: Tsukiko Takara]]]]

An adorable little girl with ties to Izumo's past as she is her sister and the reason behind all of her actions before and during Inari.

* CheerfulChild: She's almost never not seeing smiling and when she's not it's rather heartbreaking.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] [[spoiler: Izumo adores her and she's very polite and sweet to her sister and others even as Tsukiko.]]
* NoInfantileAmnesia: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] to an heartbreaking extent as [[spoiler: Tsukiko can't even recognize Izumo despite how much she looks like her.]]
* {{Protectorate}}: To [[spoiler:Izumo. This is exploited as it makes it easy for the Illuminati to manipulate Izumo.]]
* SpoiledSweet: [[spoiler: What she has become as Tsukiko Takara, as her brief appearance shows her being very polite to her foster parents and even Izumo when she suddenly shows up in their garden.]]
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: [[spoiler: Asks this of Izumo as Tamamo starts avoiding her daughters and home.]]

[[folder: Yuri Egin (Manga)]]

[[AntiAntiChrist Rin and Yukio]]'s mother. Not much is known about her, aside from the previous fact and the fact that she was a Lower First Class exorcist. Even in-universe her true status appears to be unknown.
----
* ButNotTooForeign: Her name suggests she's of mixed-heritage.
* MissingMom: Whatever happened to her, she's definitely absent from her sons' lives.
* TheLostLenore: In ch78, how Shura refers to her suggests [[spoiler: she might be this for ''Shiro''!]]

[[folder: Ernst Frederik Egin]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ernst_683.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Toshihiko Miki (JP), Dave Mallow (EN)

The Grandfather to Rin and Yukio on their mother's side. He's first seen during the Blue Night in episode one and absent until the final arc. Having lost his daughter, Rin and Yukio's mother to a witch hunt, he has good reasons for his prejudice against all things demon, as well as some ill will towards members of the [[ChurchMilitant True Cross Order]].[[spoiler: Though his telling of the story isn't entirely true.]]
----

* BigBad: He's arguably this for the Anime along with Satan, as most of the bad things that happen in the anime's continuity, directly or not, can be blamed on him.
* CanonForeigner: Added exclusively to the anime for the sake of the GeckoEnding.
* ChurchMilitant: The True Cross Order was always this, but after he's appointed as [[spoiler:the new Pope]] he [[UpToEleven brings it up to eleven]] by giving high school students enchanted sub-machine guns.
* EvilLaugh: When his gate is open and the Messiah bomb is about to drop, he lets out a mighty one of these.
* FantasticRacism: Towards demons. Not even his daughter is safe if she shows sympathy towards them.
* KnightTemplar: Willing to kill [[spoiler:his own grandson]] through an ''extremely'' painful [[ReligionIsMagic magical/religious]] ritual in order to "win the war against Gehena."
* LaserGuidedKarma: Why he has to wear a mask. [[spoiler: He condemned his daughter and her blue-flame lover possessed him to free her. The result was a nasty burn mark.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:He loses his calm demeanor once his Messiah bomb failed to destroy Hell, and becomes terrified when he is being dragged into it, he frantically begs Yukio to save him. Except Yukio found out that Ernst ordered the witch hunt to kill Yuri and leaves him for dead.]]

[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Yuri_Egin_8291.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Music/MegumiHayashibara (JP), Creator/CheramiLeigh (EN)

The Anime Exclusive version of Yuri Egin is detailed below. The manga version has yet to be revealed.

A lower-second class exorcist who gave birth to Rin and Yukio. She was known as the "Witch of the Forest" and was ordered to be [[BurnTheWitch burned at the stake]]. This lead to the Blue Night.
----
* AllLovingHeroine: She believes that humans and demons can co-exist. In her view, the only thing preventing this from happening is a refusal to understand each other.
* BeautyMark: She had a mole under her eyes. Her son Yukio got them from her.
* BurnTheWitch: She was tied to a stake and ordered to be burned. [[spoiler: Her demonic lover prevented that from happening.]]
* ButNotTooForeign: Her father is definitely not Japanese, but her name suggests that her mother was.
* CanonForeigner: She was first established in the anime's continuity. The manga version has nothing except but her name and rank so far revealed.
* DeathByChildbirth: She died giving birth to her sons.
* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: Yes, yes she did. [[spoiler: In the anime, this is why the Blue Night happened - Satan refused to let her be murdered over this trope, and searched for a host within the nearby clergy. All of them disintegrated immediately, except for her own father.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Including demons, which caused her to be known as the "Witch of the forest" and why she could bond with SATAN of all people.
* TheLostLenore: To Satan. In the anime, [[spoiler:he wishes to create a world where humans and demons can coexist because that's what Yuri wished for]].
* MissingMom: Her sons never met her.
* MoralityPet: To Satan. She helped him understand the meaning of life and he cared about her enough to [[spoiler:cause the Blue Night in an attempt to save her from her execution]].
* PosthumousCharacter: We only learn about her through flashbacks.
* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:She was able to host Satan, so they bonded, one thing led to another... and then we got Rin and Yukio.]]
* SympathyForTheDevil: In a more literal sense, which is why she wound up having his kids.
* WideEyedIdealist: Enthusiastic in her belief that demons and humans could co-exist despite the eternal war going on, and heedless of criticism. [[spoiler: Even Satan loved the ideology - unfortunately, he got it a bit twisted around by the time he could act on it]].

[[folder: Usamaro]]

A child-like demon Rin found who seems to have amnesia.
----

* AnimalMotifs: A rabbit, which is why he is named ''Usa''maro because "Usa" means "Rabbit".
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Even demonic children apparently. [[spoiler: Except this is a ''bad'' thing since he is too innocent to understand how much damage his attempts to "help" those around him actually causes.]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A really friendly blond once he gets used to you.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: He reverses time and destroys himself to save the city.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Considering his memory loss he seems to be the victim of it.[[spoiler:.. Except since he is the very same demon from the fairytale this is actually his trademark technique.]]
* PureIsNotGood: Just because he is sweet and innocent child who just wants to help people doesn't mean he isn't a threat to others. [[spoiler: Just ask the last town he "helped".]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[TechnicolorEyes Mostly red at least]], like a rabbit's... But he is demon, which should be warning enough.
* RetGone: [[spoiler: erases himself, and only Rin and Liu remember him.]]
* TimeLord: Kinda, since officially he is considered to be "kin of Saemel, King of Time" he can be considered one of these. [[spoiler: His ability to "eat" memories is apparently based on erasing the event from a person's personal history, or changing past events so the person doesn't remember them happening so his connection to "Time" isn't that strange.]]

[[folder:Shiro Fujimoto]]

->Voiced by: Creator/KeijiFujiwara (JP), Creator/KirkThornton (EN)

Adoptive father of Rin and Yukio, BadassPreacher, and a member of the [[ChurchMilitant True Cross Order]]. Rather eccentric. A loving father. Former Paladin. Now deceased.

* AdultFear: Your adopted child is the biological son of the most powerful demon in existence and if you let your guard down for even one minute said demon will possess you and use your body to literally drag him down to hell.
* AllLovingHero: Despite being a force to be reckoned with, he was more than willing to help anyone and anything that legitimately wanted to reform their ways, as exemplified by Kuro and Rin. In an interesting twist (anime-exclusive), [[spoiler: he only developed this attitude because of Yuri, their mother, dying for her belief that demons and humans could coexist, and was a full-blown KnightTemplar prior to this]].
* BadassGrandpa: Considering his age and the fact that he schools demons easily...
* BadassPreacher: The head father of his church, and was a former Paladin. Also the only character so far to have been a Meister in ''all five'' exorcist specialties.
* BigDamnHeroes: Shows up just in time to rescue Rin from the first demon he's ever encountered.
* CoolOldGuy: From what little we've seen of him he was definitely one of these. Rin even has him at the top of his "Cool Guys According To Me" list.
* DeathByOriginStory: In the first chapter/second episode, Satan uses DemonicPossession and takes over his body to tell Rin that he's the son of Satan. He fights him off but doesn't manage to live.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Of the sense that he was a great father to Rin and Yukio before he died.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: He dies fighting off the strongest demon of Gehenna.
* GenerationXerox: In a flashback in the manga his personality is almost exactly like Rin's, just rougher. He also shows the same kind of Doctor skill Yukio has in the present.
* GiveHimANormalLife: Sealed away Rin's demonic powers and tried to hide his true nature to give him a normal life.
* GiverOfLameNames: Paladin and badass he was, he sucks at name giving. He gives a powerful black Cait Sith he gets as a familiar the name Kuro. [[spoiler: He also gave Shura her name because she gave the impression of being an Ashura.]]
* GoodShepherd: Aside from the exorcist thing, he does the "mundane" sort of preaching in a monastery. He's Rin's father in two senses of the word.
* HeroicSacrifice: He basically killed himself to stop Satan from kidnapping Rin.
* HeroicWillpower: Satan has been trying to possess him for years pre-series. He always failed because Fujimtoto's will was too strong. Unfortunately, losing his temper with his adoptive son (enough to hit him) turned out to be enough of a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment to give an opening.
* HyperAwareness: Downplayed, but he immediately noticed that Rin saw the coal tar - revealing that his seal is definitely too weak to contain his demonic powers - which made him follow after him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Rough, crude, and a bit abrasive, especially in flashbacks before he adopted Rin and Yukio. At the same time, he helped the Myoo Dharani survive the demonic plague inflicting them (only demands payment afterwards and not before he starts caring for everyone) and he was ''injured'' at the time. He also [[spoiler: lied on his mission report about where Shura came from.]]
* MarshmallowHell: He is on the receiving end of one during a flashback in chapter 78. Shura takes her top off and shoves her bare breasts in Shiro's face after he tells her to respect herself more and to stop throwing herself at men.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Done subtly, almost as a FreezeFrameBonus, as the way he looks at his hand after hitting Rin suggests he immediately regrets and berates himself for it. [[FromBadToWorse Which allows Satan the opening he had been looking for all those years...]]
* NunTooHoly:
** Sounded like he was very interested in the ladies despite priests needing to be chaste.
** His character profile reveals one of his favourite pastimes was ''collecting porn magazines''. Wow.
** His office had very prominent posters of busty women in it.
* ThePaladin: Until his death, he was the highest ranking exorcist of the world.
* PapaWolf: For his adoptive children he would fend off SATAN himself.
* ParentalSubstitute: He was this to Rin and Yukio before dying because he raised them.
* PosthumousCharacter: Even though he was introduced BEFORE he died a lot about him was only learned though flashbacks.
* SmokingIsCool: He was often seen smoking and was a pretty cool guy.
* TookALevelInKindness: Heavily implied that taking in and raising Rin and Yukio softened him quite a bit, comparing his attitude in the first chapter to him in flashbacks.

[[folder: Arthur Auguste Angel]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Arthur_An_3347.jpg]]
->Voiced by Creator/DaisukeOno (JP), Creator/DavidVincent (EN)

The newly appointed Paladin. Angel follows the orders of the Vatican to a T. He'll do so even knowing full well that his actions are immoral in the eyes of others. Very little is known about his past.

* AlliterativeName: Arthur. Auguste. Angel.
* BigDamnHeroes: In episode 25 to save the main heroes.
* {{BFS}}: Caliburn is a big blade [[TalkingWeapon and it talks, too]]!
* {{Bishounen}}: Was designed to be kind of a prick as well as handsome
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Shura calls him [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon "a saint on the outside and a devil on the inside"]]. He's also shown shades of a sadistic personality.
* CallingYourAttacks: '''ANGEL SLASH!'''
* CurbStompBattle: Both on the delivering and receiving ends. He easily manages to subdue both Rin and Shura, but when Amaimon went into an UnstoppableRage (Anime Only), he was almost immediately knocked out.
* DumbBlond: Blond, an idiot...check.
* FantasticRacism: In the anime, "for the kin of Satan, just being alive is a sin!" In the manga, referring to Mephisto, "his kind specializes in deceit!"
* GreenEyedMonster: In chapter 38 of the manga, we see just how upset he was that he didn't get the chance to fight the Impure King, and sees how [[spoiler:Rin was the one to defeat it]] as adding insult to injury.
* HonorBeforeReason: As of episode 24, he's admitted to realizing that the Vatican is going in the wrong direction, but he refuses to betray them and will still follow his orders.
* IdiotHero: Whether or not he truly counts as a "Hero" may vary, but he is the Paladin...and even admits to being dimwitted.
* JerkAss: Arrogant, takes great pleasure in antagonizing the other characters (Rin in particular), has plenty of KickTheDog moments, and frequently refers to the memory of his predecessor (who was both a better paladin and overall person) with open contempt.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Further appearances slowly shows him as a very flawed but still somewhat good person. FantasticRacism and his stubborn idiocy gets in the way a lot, but he cares for his subordinates [[spoiler: and is very upset that one of his "Angelic Squad" members is part of the Illuminati.]]
* KickTheDog:
** In the anime, he takes exceptional pleasure in trying to kill Neuhause's wife despite Shiemi begging him to show her mercy.
** In the manga, he takes an unholy glee at ''stabbing Rin's leg'' to "contain" him during the trial.
%%* LargeHam
* LawfulStupid: Arthur will follow the orders of his superiors, without question, even knowing that they may obstruct some people's good intentions. He does get a bit better in the anime where he saves Shura and Shiemi in episode 25. He also leaves without incident after the final battle. Nothing in regards to the manga.
%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* ThePaladin: After Fujimoto's death he was given the title of highest ranking exorcist of the Order.
* ShowyInvincibleHero: "As the Paladin, I must show off my power!"

[[folder: Lewin "Lightning" Light]]

One of the four Arc Knights and often works with the current Paladin.

* AffablyEvil: No matter what horrible thing he's doing he acts friendly and polite.
* EccentricMentor: To [[spoiler: Ryuji]] as he finds him "interesting" and he also requested it.
* TheGadfly: He ''really'' likes poking at people. Even if they don't notice his teasing (like [[DumbBlond Angel]]) he enjoys it.
* JerkAss: To put it bluntly, when he gets called in to research or interrogate someone, he starts getting vicious. While interrogating a spy he will even bring in their innocent family in order to get the information he wants. He later threatened a group of priests to get answers, despite having knowledge that speaking of it would kill them.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: After his introduction to the main cast he reveals himself to be pretty tolerant and even understanding of demons and explicitly states his reason for being an exorcist is because he "loves this world".
* LackOfEmpathy: He mentions he has trouble caring about other people, to where he finds demons more interesting.
* NiceHat: He's always wearing a hat that obscures his eyes.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Most people call him Lightning.
* RazorWind: Uses sylphs in this manner during an interrogation.
* RedBaron: His Nickname comes from his title "The Master of Lightning".
* TheSmartGuy: Quickly figures out various things, including who's behind the [[spoiler: Gehenna Gate in Russian]] and plans things out for the interrogation so he ''will'' win. Definitely contrasts him with Angel. He's also capable of screwing with Arias and even making up Fatal Verses for demons that previously didn't have any.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Lewin Light or Ruin Rite? The former is an actual name.
* StreetSmart: Very good at manipulating people, on the fly thinking, and keep calm no matter what. In fact, he's so visibly good at this that [[spoiler: Ryuji requests to be made his apprentice for this very reason.]]
* SummonMagic: He's a Tamer in contract with a Upper-tier air elemental, [[ShockAndAwe Furfur]], as well as lower level [[BlowYouAway sylphs]]. He's capable of summoning them without a circle or incantation, supposedly because he's befriended them. He even created a Fatal Verse to banish them if needed.

!Kyoto/Myōō Dharani

[[folder: Tatsuma Suguro]]

The Most High Priest and Ryuji's father.

* AFatherToHisMen: Is definitely this to the members of the Myōō Dharani as shown when [[spoiler: he shows up BigDamnHeroes style to save Mamushi.]]
* BrokenPedestal: To Ryuji and [[spoiler: Mamushi]] due to how he distances himself from exorcist work and the temple group.
* CoolOldGuy: No matter how badly he's treated or how his temple is insulted he just smiles and stays calm to try and keep Ryuji from being discouraged.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: That odd, slightly perverted and almost wimpy guy over there? He is the head priest of the Myōō Dharani and if you give him a reason, he will show you that he ''definitely'' earned it.
* PlayingWithFire: Through his familiar Karura, he wields fire.
* RebuiltPedestal: The events of the Kyoto arc reveal what he really intends and desires, allowing Ryuji to regain his faith in his father.
* SecretKeeper: He holds all the secrets of the Myōō Dharani [[spoiler: and it is such that is the source of his contract with Karura.]]

[[folder: Juuzou Shima]]

An Upper Second Class Exorcist and the 2nd son of the Shima family.

* BelligerentSexualTension: With Mamushi. Emphasis on the Belligerent part as [[spoiler: even after they are engaged, Mamushi scratches up his face.]]
* BigBrotherMentor: To his younger brothers he is a good teacher. He also acts like this towards Ryuji and Konekomaru, even in childhood, but not so much to [[TheUnfavourite Renzo]]. Though that's partially because while Juuzo looks up to his deceased older brother Takezo, Renzo doesn't, resulting in a gape between them.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible level headed [[RedOniBlueOni blue oni]] to Kinzou's more foolish red oni.
* FriendToAllChildren: His profile notes him to be one, and in flashbacks, he's shown to be protective and caring towards a younger Renzou, Ryuji, and Konekomaru.
* NiceGuy: He's genuinely a good guy and quite polite too.
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: To [[spoiler: Mamushi, after the Kyoto arc they get together and are now engaged.]]

[[folder: Kinzou Shima]]

The fourth son of the Shima family, Renzō's older brother and a Middle Second-Class exorcist.

* AttackHello: He usually greets Shima with a tackle or a punch.
* BigBrotherBully: Greets his brother with a punch! Despite that, he's really a minor example and shows more [[BigBrotherInstinct care]] than other cases of this trope.
* BuxomIsBetter: His reasoning for not accepting Juuzo wanting to marry Mamushi is because she has small breasts.
* DumbBlond: Is an idiot and has blond hair.
* DyeHard: [[invoked]] He dyed his hair and it's most likely because the "Kin"(金) in his name means "gold".
%%%%
%%%%%Please don't move this trope to a second bullet. It's a violation of example indentation.
%%%
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The hot blooded foolish [[RedOniBlueOni red oni]] to Juuzou's more responsible blue oni.
* HiddenDepths: He's very good at playing the shamisen. Shame his chosen genre is a hard one to listen to...
* HotBlooded: Very energetic and even willing to attack the [[EldritchAbomination Impure King]] head on. WordOfGod also says he was a ''very'' energetic child.
* IdiotHero: Referred to as a "fucking idiot" and doesn't do anything but prove it's true.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: A light novel chapter focusing on a Christmas with the Kyoto Trio that takes place pre-joining up with True Cross, has him ''constantly'' forget about Renzo, calling Ryuji and Konekomaru his "precious little brothers" but makes no mention of Renzo. Renzo [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this but Kinzo doesn't notice.
* ShipperOnDeck: In the bonus chapter "Kin-nii's Band Has Zero Popularity" Kinzo forces tickets on Renzo and encourages him to ask out Izumo once he realizes he likes her.
* TheQuietOne: Despite all of above, he tends to stick to the background and stay quiet more often than not. He only gets talkative really with those he knows.

[[folder: Mamushi Hojo]]

The eldest sibling of the three Hojo daughters and a Middle First-Class exorcist at the Kyoto Branch.

* AnimalMotifs: Snakes, like the rest of her family.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Juuzou. Even after they [[spoiler: get engaged]] they still bicker and Mamushi even scratches up his face.
* CoolBigSis: To her two younger sisters who clearly admire her.
* FluffyTamer: Of snake demons.
* MeaningfulName: Mamushi means "Pit Viper" fitting with the rest of her familiy's snake based ThemeNaming.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Her hair is very pale and she's rather pretty. Not to mention a very competent Tamer.
* {{Oneesama}}: As the eldest of the three Hojo sisters and adored by the younger two.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Her apperance, temper, and Naga familiars help give this impression. [[spoiler: Getting the Right Eye of the Impure King for Toudou didn't help her case at all]]. In reality, she's actually quite nice and a good girl, abet [[spoiler: one easily fooled and played by Toudou.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Hojo/Houjou
* SummonMagic: Is capable of summoning a snake demon to fight.
* {{Tsundere}}: A lighter example than most. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Except for her clawing up Juzo's face as revenge]] [[spoiler: for the roundabout proposal.]]
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: To [[spoiler: Juuzou, as he proposes (via asking her father for permission) after the Kyoto arc and they are now engaged.]]

[[folder: Takezou Shima]]

The eldest sibling of Juuzou, Kinzou and Renzou. Died during the Blue Night to save Renzo and Ryuji.

* HeroicSacrifice: Saved a baby Renzou and Ryuji during the Blue Night and died for it.
* PosthumousCharacter: His self-sacrifice shaped Kinzou's and Juuzou's dedication to exorcism. [[spoiler:Renzou, on the other hand, is deeply bothered by the lofty status given to someone who died. This influences his choice to become a DoubleAgent.]]

!Demons

[[folder: Satan, The Demon King]]

The ruler of Gehenna, and father of Rin and Yukio, along with Samael, Amaimon and Lucifer.

* ArchnemesisDad: While he may be Rin and Yukio's father he is the Big Bad of the series.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The ruler of Gehenna, first of the eight demon kings, and is so powerful his mere presence destroys most of his human hosts.
* AxCrazy: First appearance in the manga and anime ''reeks'' of this. In the anime, [[spoiler: after possessing Yukio and playing pyromaniac he seriously keeps up that appearance. Yet with [[MoralityPet Yuri]], he was quite sane and even inquisitive.]]
* BigBad: The king of Gehenna, leader of the demons, and the primary cause of Rin's conflict.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: [[spoiler:Oh, Satan. When Yuri said she dreamed of a world where demons and humans could live together, she didn't mean that you should [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt turn Assiah into a wasteland in the process]]. Also, "nurturing a life" implies that you are not allowed to [[DemonicPossession possess said life at a later date]]. PoorCommunicationKills indeed]].
* BodyHorror: Anyone he possesses without sufficient compatibility will burn and mutate.
* DemonicPossession: He tries but always fails. The number of people who can perfectly house his full power is limited to less than five people. Everyone else spontaneously bursts into flames.
%%* ExactWords: ''[[DealWithTheDevil He's freaking Satan.]]''
* {{Hellfire}}: His trademark [[TechnicolorFire blue]] flames. He's the ruler of the place where this stuff comes from.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Due his inability to stay in Aisha for more than a few seconds, he's more of a background character despite his authority and power.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: In the anime's climax. [[spoiler: His plan is to create a world where humans and demons can coexist because that's what Yuri, his human lover, wished for. He does this by possessing their son, merging Assiah and Gehana in apocalyptic fashion, and beating their other son when he objects.]]
* OccultBlueEyes: His blue eyes are one of the few identifying features he is known to have.
* PlayingWithFire: His signature blue flames.
* {{Jerkass}}: He treated Rin terribly during their first meeting and all the while possessing [[BadassPreacher Fujimoto]].
* SuperpowerMeltdown: [[PowerDegeneration Destroying hosts]] is a common problem with powerful demons, which is why they use various {{PowerLimiter}}s to stay in Assiah. As the strongest demon of all his mere ''presence'' causes this these leading to a lot of gore and BodyHorror for his unfortunate victims.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Is the only being who can naturally, and efficiently, create a Gehenna Gate. However, there is rarely a person who can last long enough for him to create one.

[[folder: Amaimon]]
[[quoteright:257:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Amaimon_8685.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/TetsuyaKakihara (JP), Creator/DarrelGuilbeau (EN)

Mephisto's younger brother and another son of Satan, known as the "Earth King". He seems rather detached and childish and doesn't care much about Rin, preferring to go tour Japan.

* AnimeHair: He has a horn/spike hairstyle similar to [[ShamanKing Tao Ren's]].
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's only 7th or 8th highest ranking of ''all'' demons in terms of strength, making him one of the ''weakest'' of the demon kings, but he is ''still'' a demon king.
* BerserkButton: A good way to get him serious or into a fight is to laugh at him. So don't laugh at him. ''Ever.''
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He may be odd but he can break a man's arm by poking it and kill any exorcist who tries to stop him.
* BigBrotherBully: In a matter of speaking, towards Rin. They're half-brothers after all, and he beat the kid senseless.
* BigEater: He is often seen eating junk food and candy whenever he appears in but is one of the skinniest members of the cast.
* BigOlEyebrows: Absurdly shaped and large.
* PutOnABus: Disappears after his big fight with Rin in ch13. [[spoiler: He reappears later briefly in both ch39 and ch44, before finally returning at the end of ch82.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He will start talking about surfing while standing on a speeding roller coaster in the middle of a fight or use his fingers as pretend binoculars while spying on his little brother.
* CreepyBlueEyes: Possibly to help show he is one of Satan's children; see occult blue eyes and adaption dye job above.
* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler:In chapter 39, he knocks Rin out in a single hit going into his true form, making it clear that Rin is not stronger than him]]. In the anime, [[spoiler:the positions are reversed, as Rin is capable of [[OneHitKill incinerating him in a single blow]]]].
* DemonicPossession: Technically, for a demon to stay in Assiah aside from being born, they have to do this. An Omake stated he's possessing some poor guy.
* DishingOutDirt: As the [[RedBaron King of Earth]].
* DissonantSerenity: The whole time he's fighting Rin and the others, he seems...calm. Amused. He also lets out a cheerful "yaaaay" when Rin unsheathes Kurikara.
* DullSurprise: Despite having almost 1000 years experience with human emotions he hasn't quite got the hang of [[FrozenFace facial expressions]] yet.
* {{Familiar}}: His is a large hobgoblin called [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Behemoth]].
* FangsAreEvil: His seem more obvious than most because of how often they're shown, since he is often seen eating.
* FunSize: In the anime he can turn into a hamster.
* HellishPupils: Like most demons his pupils are slitted.
* IShallTauntYou: Or in this case "I will pretend to play a Japanese version of tag to get you to fight me" or "I will target your LoveInterest and pretend to marry her (or chew her lips off) to make you take fighting me more seriously".
* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: While his human host appears to be a teenager, the 10th volume of the manga mentions Amaimon has been using him for almost a thousand years.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: By [[spoiler: Berserk!Rin]] in the anime and [[spoiler: Mephisto]] in the manga. Since he is [[{{Immortality}} a demon]] neither case actually kills him, only succeeding in [[spoiler: destroying his host body]] and [[spoiler: turning him into a [[HumanPincushion Demon Pincushion]] respectively.]]
* ItAmusedMe: Like his brother, he's primarily interested in simply doing something that doesn't bore him.
* KnightOfCerebus: As soon as he shows up, things start to get dangerous for Rin. More so on his second appearance, where he seriously threatens and even harms the main cast and forces Rin to use his [[HellFire Blue Flames]] to save them all...resulting in the execution order over his head.
* LightningBruiser: One finger from him could break a bone and he was so fast that [[spoiler:Rin]] could hardly keep up with him.
* MeaningfulName: He shares a name with a Biblical Prince of Hell, which is only to be expected.
* MorphicResonance: His hamster form is mostly green with a lighter colored hair-horn that mimics his human form.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "'Don't screw around' ''is my line''."
* PsychopathicManchild: He treats fighting like its a game to him, wants to kill anyone that he finds annoying, and doesn't care many people up hurt or killed because of his actions long as he doesn't upset his big brother.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He is at ''least'' a thousand years old.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: His true demon form revealed with his "Demon Heart" has very lizard-like qualities like his tail design, scaled arms, and green coloration.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: [[http://www.mangareader.net/406-54591-16/ao-no-exorcist/chapter-13.html Byoooooo~n]].
* SealedEvilInACan: Mephisto essentially has a tight leash on Amaimon at all times and basically gets called out to "train" Rin or some other errand.
* SuperPowerMeltdown: Why he, and most demons, hide their Demon Heart. [[spoiler: Even throwing one [[KamehameHadoken super punch]] was enough to [[PowerStrainBlackout knock himself out]] because of the [[PsychicNosebleed strain]] it put on his host.]]
* SuperStrength: [[FingerPokeOfDoom A poke]] from him ''breaks bone''. He also launches Rin through a ''roller coaster'' by just flicking him.
* SweetTooth: He is often seen eating candy, possibly due to how his [[PunnyName name]] sounds like "Amai Mono" which means "sweet things" in japanese.
* TaremeEyes: An inversion where a [[GenderInvertedTrope male villain]] has 'em.
* TranquilFury: Since his face isn't that expressive he winds up looking really calm even if he's in the middle of punching someone's FACE off.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Similar to how Mephisto has purple hair and Rin has blue hair it is most likely to help show he is a demon.

[[folder: Kuro (Blacky)]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Kuro16_9347.jpg]]
-> Voiced by Creator/AyahiTakagaki (JP), Creator/StephanieSheh (EN)

A cat sith who used to be the guardian deity of some local silk farmers. Was forgotten by people as the times changed, going berserk, but Fujimoto was able to tame him and make him his familiar. Later became Rin's familiar after he calmed Kuro from the rage of hearing about Fujimoto's death.

* BadassAdorable: Adorable as a normal sized cat and badass in his giant size.
* CoolPet: A Size shifting demonic two tailed Cait sith, thus acting as a combination of the Nekomata from Japanese mythology and the Cait Sith from Celtic folklore.
* {{Familiar}}: While not a summon like most familiars he acts as Rin's after Fujimoto's death is explained to him.
* FunSize: He can be small enough to act as a HeadPet.
* HeadPet: In his small form he rides on Rin's head or [[ParrotPetPosition his shoulder.]]
* MegaNeko: He can get to be bigger then some CARS. Rin (and friends) can ride him.
* MultipleTailedBeast: He has two tails of the split version.
* NoPronunciationGuide: The official pronunciation (in the dub at least) is Cat-See, the actual pronunciation is supposed to be Kett-Shee.
* PantheraAwesome: He is a rather impressive example when big and could hold off a bunch of exorcists without much trouble.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: Between huge demon and normal cat sizes.
* {{Telepathy}}: Rin can read his thoughts.

[[folder: Hachiro]]

Known as Hachitaro of the Sanko, this man is a super-high level demon known as a Hydra and the one who initially gave Shura her AncestralWeapon due to a pact made with her ancestor. He's intent on Shura having a child to continue honoring their deal.

'''Unmarked Spoilers''' Below

* AlasPoorVillain: Shura and Rin at the least feel this way.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: '''The''' defining demon with this in this series so far.
* ExtraEyes: Has a ridiculous amount of eyes on his face, which enhances his creepy and inhuman appearance.
* HealingFactor: His healing factor is so strong that he's essentially immortal, and his blood can heal wounds quickly. This makes him a target for the Illuminati.
* MasterSwordsman: Noted to have spent his very long life practicing the sword to kill time. He's the one who taught Shura and her ancestors.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Has white hair because he is a demon.
* PeoplePuppets: Can control people who he lays his eyes on, though he mentions not liking to do it because it dulls the mind.
* ReincarnationRomance: Invoked sans the memories of the past. He falls deeply in love with Tatsuko and wants to be with her always. So, as part of the blood curse, all of Tatsuko's line will be women and they will all look like she did. This way he can be with her forever, at least in his mind.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: He comes off this way because he's intent on making Shura honor her ancestors deal, one way or another.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: He's bored with eternal life being sealed away, so when he fell in love with Tatsuko it was refreshing.

!Illuminati

[[folder: Lucifer]]

Eldest son of Satan and leader of the Illuminati. He is the demon king presiding over light.

* AffablyEvil: Introduces himself very politely despite breaking the seals of True Cross Order branches around the world.
* AnimeHair: Underneath the helmet, has a point in his hair similar to Amaimon's, though not as well-defined.
* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: He's second in the demonic hierarchy of Gehenna, right below ''Satan'' himself. Even in his sickly state, Mephisto states that he, the 3rd strongest demon in Gehenna, is no match for Lucifer.
* BigEntrance:
** Makes projections of lights and [[spoiler:destroys the barrier around the academy]] when he appeared.
** Even later when [[spoiler: introducing himself personally to Yukio]] he makes a big entrance despite the circumstances!
* {{Bishonen}}: Fitting his [[PrettyBoy normal description]], though despite his pale (blond or [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white]]) hair he still [[StrongFamilyResemblance looks a lot like his siblings]] complete with a {{Ahoge}} like bit of hair shaped like a wing that matches the pattern established by Mephisto and Amaimon and a fluffy tail like Rin's.
* CoolHelmet: Mephisto compliments him on it.
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: Though only seen in the shadows in the beginning, it is heavily assumed that, during his preparation for his BigEntrance, he's shown to have been connected to a heart monitor and IV drip. [[spoiler: When we do see all of him it's clear his condition is ''much'' worse than what was implied before.]]
* TheDragon: Hints from some of his dialogue suggest he's this to Satan.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Expresses utter disgust towards [[spoiler:Gedouin and his cruelty before vaporizing him for his disobedient actions]].
* IllBoy: He's ''still'' in bad shape and spends a lot of his speech pausing to [[IncurableCoughOfDeath cough]]. Now the fans have to wonder what can make a ''demon'' that ill... [[spoiler: Judging by what he tells his scientists about making a "perfect body for his father" he might just be suffering a weaker version of [[SuperPowerMeltdown Satan's tendency of destroying his hosts]], like what Amaimon displayed before by releasing his Demon Heart.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Vaporizes Gedouin for disobeying him one too many times. The little man definitely had it coming]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Even more so than the previous one (Amaimon), as Lucifer's first appearance even in ''shadow'' is when things start to get very serious. Come his first full on appearance, and CerebusSyndrome really starts kicking in for the series.
* KnightTemplar: Genuinely believes that mixing the worlds of Gehenna and Assiah will solve the world's ills. Mephisto disagrees, believing that the desire to overcome one's bad situation makes humanity unique.
* LightEmUp: When he makes his entrance and subsequently destroys the barriers of True Cross Order branches around the world.
* LightIsNotGood: Leader of the big baddies and the King of Light, check.
* MeaningfulName: Lucifer means "Light-Bearer", as mentioned above under Rin.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Shows this [[spoiler: when he personally talks to Yukio.]]
* SuperPowerMeltdown: [[spoiler:He pushed his human host just a bit too much with his big entrance and it caused him to cough up some blood. Even showing up in Assiah to ''talk'' for a short period of time causes his human body to brake down like his father does, despite still being hooked up to everything meant to keep him stable.]]
* TearsOfBlood: [[spoiler: Shortly after showing his human face for a brief time to speak with his subordinates he started suffering from these (along with a PsychicNosebleed) to show how ''fragile'' his body really is.]]

[[folder: Saburota Toudou]]

A former exorcist, now demon. His reasons for turning traitor remain unknown but are likely related to his [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy of]], and [[AlwaysSecondBest attempts to catch up with]], his father and siblings.

* AffablyEvil: He is always very polite, even when he [[spoiler:betrays both the exorcists and Mamushi]]. In fact, he arguably became even more polite ''after'' he revealed himself to be evil.
* BatmanGambit: Pulls one off by [[spoiler:obtaining both demon eyes through a bit of [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]] and [[TricksterArchetype trickery]], then using them to deliberately awaken the [[SealedEvilinaCan Impure King]]. He knew that this would cause Tatsuma to show up and try to defeat the Impure King using his familiar Kurara. This weakened Tatsuma, allowing Toudou to kill him (who was saved by a revived Karura) and allow him to eat Karura to gain his power. It had all gone according to plan]].
* BreakingSpeech: Gives one [[spoiler:and more on a regular basis]] to Yukio.
** First one: after revealing himself as an exorcist fallen to a demon, he mentioned he was always in the shadow of his father and brothers, and he never could voice his doubts about his path. It rattles Yukio, but Yukio decides that he is not Saburota, but himself.
** Second one: In their next confrontation, Saburota says that [[spoiler: Yukio's father and brother are what have defined his paths in life and that he had no real choice in his path, leading him to despise his brother for having no idea what agony he went through. Yukio admits that he does love and hate his brother, but above all else he hates himself the most]].
** THIRD one: Following his discovery of [[spoiler: Yukio's [[OccultBlueEyes blue eyes]] (after almost killing the kid) and after Yukio thought Saburota was destroyed, [[FromASingleCell Saburota regenerates]] and comments that self-loathing is the first step to becoming a demon and that Yukio's true nature is that of a demon. [[RageBreakingPoint Yukio has had enough of Toudou by this point]]]].
* CannibalismSuperPower: [[spoiler:He noms demons to control their powers]].
* CompleteImmortality: The logical conclusion of [[spoiler: combining FromASingleCell, FountainOfYouth, and [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld how demons tend to have extremely long lifespans]]]].
* TheCorrupter: He convinced a loyal member of the Kyoto Branch Office to give him the dangerous Right Eye of the Impure King. He is actively attempting to manipulate Yukio for unknown but definitely unsavory ends.
* DrivenByEnvy: Claims that his major reason for becoming Illuminati is because of this towards his elder brothers and father.
* EvilFeelsGood: He implies this much while talking to Yukio. [[spoiler:Said to Yukio almost verbatim as "it's nice to be a demon"]].
* ManChild: His reasons for being with the Illuminati boils down to him throwing a tantrum over how he was never accepted by his family and never could match their expectations. His age regression after [[spoiler: eating Karura]] just makes it more obvious and worse.
* ManipulativeBastard: He got Yukio to talk with him during their fights despite [[IdiotBall Yukio knowing, and earlier explained to Rin and Shiemi]] how dangerous talking with a demon can be.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He was first seen as an Upper Second Class exorcist with a timid personality who provided some [[MrExposition exposition]] about an incident involving one of the demon eyes. He seemed like an incompetent, but reasonably brave and decent, guy. And then it turns out it was all an act. He had in fact already turned traitor and only exposed himelf as TheMole in the chapter in which he was introduced. He has since shown considerable [[NotSoHarmlessVillain competence]] and [[BatmanGambit cunning]]. He is now [[ManipulativeBastard one to watch out for]].
* StalkerWithoutACrush: In his own words, [[spoiler:[[VillainTakesAnInterest he is "very interested" in Yukio]]]].
* StartOfDarkness: He described his. He wanted to be like his father and brother, but was discontent with living a life he felt was shaped by others. Ultimately he became a demon and is working for his own goals.
* YouthfulFreckles: A frightening inversion, as he [[spoiler: [[FountainOfYouth turned younger following devouring Karura]] but he's still a 55 years old]].

[[folder: Illuminati Spies]]

Little is known about them as a whole but so far only one of them has had their identity revealed.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The spy that Lightning and Angel interrogates breaks when [[spoiler: Lightning threatens to harm his wife and child.]]
* TheMole: Their main purpose for the order is to infiltrate and keep tabs on the Order of the True Cross, so far there are two in the Vatican itself and one in the Japanese branch. [[spoiler: For tropes specific to the Japan Branch mole see Renzou Shima in the Cram School Student's section.]]

[[folder: Dr. Gedouin]]

A doctor of the Illuminati.

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Uses the Savior Mask to turn himself into a huge monster to try to kill the heroes]].
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler: Everything he did was to gain praise from Lucifer. Fittingly, not only does Lucifer vaporize him for his disobedience, he expresses disgust at Gedouin's cruelty just before doing so]].
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears glasses and is a complete {{Jerkass}}.
* {{Gonk}}: He has a very squat design which suits him ''[[TropesAreTools perfectly]]'' since it makes him look like a [[FatBastard very fat]] [[PsychopathicManChild child]] instead of a normal adult, he is even shorter than [[spoiler: Izumo's mother]] when he is standing next to them as they is sitting in their wheelchair.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Uses an argument along the lines of humans being worse than demons to justify his atrocities when Rin [[YouMonster calls him out]]. He ''himself'' is worse than a demon, but fewer others are.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Cares about absolutely nothing aside from pleasing Lucifer and his own personal advancement.
* {{Jerkass}}: He has no problems telling [[spoiler: Izumo]] ''exactly'' what he will do to [[spoiler: her and her sister]] after showing them [[KickTheDog what was left of their mother]] after he experimented on her for ''years''.
* LackOfEmpathy: He in fact relishes over others' suffering.
* MadScientist: Let's just say whoever he experiments on [[BodyHorror does not come out in one piece]].
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Manages to survive getting incinerated by the heroes thanks to the elixir experiments he conducted on himself. Lucifer [[DeathByIrony fixes that]] in the next chapter]].
* PerpetualSmiler: He is always smiling, especially when he's causing people pain.

!Others

[[folder: Tamamo Kamiki]]

The previous head of the Inari Shrine and Izumo's mother.

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Wasn't initially, but being told by your husband that he won't hang out with you because he thinks children are pains turned her into this.]]
* BandageBabe: [[spoiler:Currently spending her time covered in bandages, strapped to a wheelchair.]]
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:Possessed by the spirit of the Nine-Tailed Fox and subjected to years of experimentation that has left her an emaciated and bandaged mess.]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:The weakness in her heart caused her to be possessed by the Ninetail Fox she was supposed to be keeping sealed.]]
* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:Dies calling her daughters her treasures one last time.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:She's been experimented on and reduced to a withered husk of a woman as a result of being possessed and captured by the Illuminati]]
* GagBoobs: Very, very stacked [[spoiler: which is hilarious since Izumo isn't.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She forcefully takes the Nine Tails that's possessing Izumo so that when she dies it will go with her, saving Izumo and screwing up the Illuminati's plans.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: Turns out the reason Izumo can go to True Cross is because of money she left behind for her.]]
* MamaBear: [[spoiler:Once she's freed of the Nine Tails influence because it possessed her daughter, she stood up for what must have been the first time in years and proceeded to not only avoid its attacks but remove it.]]
* {{Miko}}: Older than the usual version, but was a ''very'' powerful one. [[spoiler:She was in possession by the Nine Tails for five years and never gave in enough for it to overtake her whereas her daughter couldn't last more than a few minutes. On top of that she forcefully exorcised it out of Izumo and into her while it was trying to kill her without much effort and in a body that hadn't been mobile for ages.]]
* OffingTheOffspring: Attempted to do this [[spoiler: after being possessed.]]
* ThePowerOfHate: [[spoiler: The Ninetails that possessed her seems to run off of this, getting into her as she starts to get angry and resentful of others, starting to hate aspects of her life.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Obviously, considering her big impact and role in regards to [[spoiler: Izumo's past and the Illuminati]].
* WomanChild: Was incredibly immature, introduced crying over people not liking her and asking her daughter for help there. [[spoiler: her immature nature not only hints at how much power the Inami family had over her but led to her getting possessed as she didn't have the mental fortitude to handle her lover's rejection.]]

* NoInfantileAmnesia: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] to an heartbreaking extent as [[spoiler: Tsukiko can't even recognize Izumo despite how much she looks like her.]]

[[folder: Ernst Frederik Egin]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ernst_683.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Toshihiko Miki (JP), Dave Mallow (EN)

The Grandfather to Rin and Yukio on their mother's side. He's first seen during the Blue Night in episode one and absent until the final arc. Having lost his daughter, Rin and Yukio's mother to a witch hunt, he has good reasons for his prejudice against all things demon, as well as some ill will towards members of the [[ChurchMilitant True Cross Order]].[[spoiler: Though his telling of the story isn't entirely true.]]

* BigBad: He's arguably this for the Anime along with Satan, as most of the bad things that happen in the anime's continuity, directly or not, can be blamed on him.
* CanonForeigner: Added exclusively to the anime for the sake of the GeckoEnding.
* ChurchMilitant: The True Cross Order was always this, but after he's appointed as [[spoiler:the new Pope]] he [[UpToEleven brings it up to eleven]] by giving high school students enchanted sub-machine guns.
* EvilLaugh: When his gate is open and the Messiah bomb is about to drop, he lets out a mighty one of these.
* FantasticRacism: Towards demons. Not even his daughter is safe if she shows sympathy towards them.
* KnightTemplar: Willing to kill [[spoiler:his own grandson]] through an ''extremely'' painful [[ReligionIsMagic magical/religious]] ritual in order to "win the war against Gehena."
* LaserGuidedKarma: Why he has to wear a mask. [[spoiler: He condemned his daughter and her blue-flame lover possessed him to free her. The result was a nasty burn mark.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:He loses his calm demeanor once his Messiah bomb failed to destroy Hell, and becomes terrified when he is being dragged into it, he frantically begs Yukio to save him. Except Yukio found out that Ernst ordered the witch hunt to kill Yuri and leaves him for dead.]]

The Anime Exclusive version of Yuri Egin is detailed below. The manga version has yet to be revealed.

A lower-second class exorcist who gave birth to Rin and Yukio. She was known as the "Witch of the Forest" and was ordered to be [[BurnTheWitch burned at the stake]]. This lead to the Blue Night.
----
* AllLovingHeroine: She believes that humans and demons can co-exist. In her view, the only thing preventing this from happening is a refusal to understand each other.
* BeautyMark: She had a mole under her eyes. Her son Yukio got them from her.
* BurnTheWitch: She was tied to a stake and ordered to be burned. [[spoiler: Her demonic lover prevented that from happening.]]
* ButNotTooForeign: Her father is definitely not Japanese, but her name suggests that her mother was.
* CanonForeigner: She was first established in the anime's continuity. The manga version has nothing except but her name and rank so far revealed.
* DeathByChildbirth: She died giving birth to her sons.
* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: Yes, yes she did. [[spoiler: In the anime, this is why the Blue Night happened - Satan refused to let her be murdered over this trope, and searched for a host within the nearby clergy. All of them disintegrated immediately, except for her own father.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Including demons, which caused her to be known as the "Witch of the forest" and why she could bond with SATAN of all people.
* TheLostLenore: To Satan. In the anime, [[spoiler:he wishes to create a world where humans and demons can coexist because that's what Yuri wished for]].
* MissingMom: Her sons never met her.
* MoralityPet: To Satan. She helped him understand the meaning of life and he cared about her enough to [[spoiler:cause the Blue Night in an attempt to save her from her execution]].
* PosthumousCharacter: We only learn about her through flashbacks.
* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:She was able to host Satan, so they bonded, one thing led to another... and then we got Rin and Yukio.]]
* SympathyForTheDevil: In a more literal sense, which is why she wound up having his kids.
* WideEyedIdealist: Enthusiastic in her belief that demons and humans could co-exist despite the eternal war going on, and heedless of criticism. [[spoiler: Even Satan loved the ideology - unfortunately, he got it a bit twisted around by the time he could act on it]].

!Movie Exclusive

[[folder: Usamaro]]
->Voiced by: Creator/RieKugimiya (JP), Creator/CassandraLee (EN)

A child-like demon Rin found who seems to have amnesia.
----

* AnimalMotifs: A rabbit, which is why he is named ''Usa''maro because "Usa" means "Rabbit".
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Even demonic children apparently. [[spoiler: Except this is a ''bad'' thing since he is too innocent to understand how much damage his attempts to "help" those around him actually causes.]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A really friendly blond once he gets used to you.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: He reverses time and destroys himself to save the city.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Considering his memory loss he seems to be the victim of it.[[spoiler:.. Except since he is the very same demon from the fairytale this is actually his trademark technique.]]
* PureIsNotGood: Just because he is sweet and innocent child who just wants to help people doesn't mean he isn't a threat to others. [[spoiler: Just ask the last town he "helped".]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[TechnicolorEyes Mostly red at least]], like a rabbit's... But he is demon, which should be warning enough.
* RetGone: [[spoiler: erases himself, and only Rin and Liu remember him.]]
* TimeLord: Kinda, since officially he is considered to be "kin of Saemel, King of Time" he can be considered one of these. [[spoiler: His ability to "eat" memories is apparently based on erasing the event from a person's personal history, or changing past events so the person doesn't remember them happening so his connection to "Time" isn't that strange.]]

%%* FingerlessGloves
* HeroicAlbino: Sits on the boundary, since he is an exorcist, just doing his job.
* HeroicLineage: He's descended from the exorcist that sealed away Usamaro the first time.
* KnightTemplar: He's not quite this, but he does make jokes about being one.
