to:

* LastOfHisKind
FromNobodyToNightmare: Pain Elementals were once tiny weak entities which fed on the misery and pain of sentient creatures. Then Chzo came along and decided to do it to his brethren.
* LastOfHisKind: Chzo became the monstrously powerful deific entity it is by eating and absorbing the strength of every other pain elemental.
* MonstrousCannibalism: How he ends up being the LastOfHisKind.
Pain Elementals were never supposed to feed on anything but negative emotions, but Chzo decided to to something different.
* PhysicalGodPhysicalGod: Downplayed. [[spoiler: If Chzo were able to enter physical reality, nothing would be able to stop it. However, as a PureMagicBeing, it is incapable of doing this, so it must act through its servants]].

Originally a druid in the year 55 BCE, Cabadath was dragged into the World of Magick by Chzo after a failed attempt to summon and bind it in order to defeat an invading Roman army. Turned into an immortal {{Lich}} by Chzo, and deformed after years of horrific torture, Cabadath eventually broke down and swore himself into Chzo's service, and now carries out his master's will in the World of Technology. [[spoiler: That is, until Chzo attempts to replace him...]]

* BigBadWannabe: Canning certainly looks intimidating with his bright red robe and creepily calm demeanor. While Theo initially thinks Canning is the one keeping them prisoner, Sam and Janine reveal that Canning is nothing more than a low level acolyte that the rest of the order left behind to keep an eye on the prisoners.
* UnwittingPawn: While Canning believes he is playing an important role in the summoning of Chzo, he is completely unaware of the fact that his superiors have abandoned him to die for a previous failure.
