!''Abomination Vault'' Novel Characters
[[folder:Panoptos]]
!Panoptos
A servant of the Charred Council who's cruel as he is loyal. He is the first Watcher and the "father" of the race. The Watcher of the first game is one of said "children".
----
* BerserkButton: Does not take kindly to Death using him as a punching bag for his sarcasm. Or disobedience. Mainly Death's sarcasm though.
* {{Jerkass}}: And how! Much like the one Watcher from the first game, Panoptos is simply vile to everyone he meets, excluding the Charred Council. As they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
* TheMole: Heavily implied. [[spoiler:It's hinted that it was Panoptos who told Raciel and her band of mercenaries about the existence of the Abomination Vault in the first place. At the very end of the book, Death confronts him about it, masking his accusations, but making it fairly clear that he believes Panoptos wanted the Grand Abominations to break from the chains of slavery using his "children" as his army.]]
* MonsterProgenitor: Of the Watcher race.

[[folder:Hadrimon]]
!Hadrimon
An angel who, after a series of unfortunate circumstances, defected from Heaven.
----
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:Apparently having one of the Grand Abominations on your person can make you this.]]
* BigBad: Of the novel.
* ButtMonkey: After Raciel's exile, Hadrimon made so many futile half-planned attacks that Heaven actually thought of him as a joke. [[spoiler:...Until the Abomination Crisis began.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: When [[spoiler:Black Mercy, one of the Grand Abominations, briefly takes control of him and kills Raciel. He attempts to kill himself, but it doesn't work as Black Mercy wouldn't allow the chambers to collapse.]]
* EvilPlan: [[spoiler:Awakening the Grand Abominations and then unleashing them on both Heaven and Hell.]]
* LightIsNotGood: He may be an angel, but he's definitely not a good guy.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: The reason behind said revenge.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Basically, a summary of why he [[spoiler:wanted the Grand Abominations in the first place. Subverted since said cause of revenge was technically his own fault.]]
* StarCrossedLovers: Used to be this with Raciel, due to Heaven's strict courtship laws. [[spoiler:Subverted since he was the one that betrayed her and indirectly got her sentenced to being exiled to Hell.]]
** MyGodWhatHaveIDone: His reaction afterwards.
* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: Until [[spoiler: Lilith reveals his name to Death]], he went under the alias of "Semyaza" [[note]]The leader of the Grigori, who descended to Earth and took human women as wives[[/note]], [[spoiler: who turned out to be a second lieutenant at an outpost in an area called the Empty Sea]].
* VillainousBreakdown: Has a few of these, but most notably during the final battle where he has a ''huge'' one when he sees [[spoiler:Raciel alive again after so many years, having previously thought that she had died during her exile to Hell. And another one when Black Mercy (one of the Grand Abominations that's in his possessions throughout the story) controls him and makes him kill her.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Belisatra]]
!Belisatra
A female Maker, formerly an apprentice of Gulbannan.
----
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:To Hadrimon.]]
* MadScientist: Her motivations basically boil down to curiosity; she wants to know how everything and everyone works, and will have said knowledge regardless of who gets hurt. In the case of allying with [[spoiler:Hadrimon]], she wants to know how the Grand Abominations function.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Hadrimon's red.
* WrenchWench: Belisatra supplies Hadrimon with his army of constructs.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Keeper of Oblivion]]
!The Keeper of Oblivion
The Charred Council's executioner and one of the very few people outside his brothers that Death considers a friend, also serving as the latter's confidant. True to his title, the Keeper holds the power to open a portal to Oblivion -- a realm where literally nothing exists; not even light and darkness. If someone or something is thrown in, they cease to exist, which is considered one of the most terrible of fates... which is where the Keeper comes in.
----
* FauxAffablyEvil: Implied. The affable part, at least, is played straight, but Death thinks it's just a ruse.
* TheDreaded: Considering that the Keeper holds the worst of all fates in the palm of his hands, he's one of the most feared beings in Creation.
* TheFaceless: Like Death, the Keeper is never seen without his mask, only said mask is made of iron as opposed to bone.
* WarriorTherapist: To Death. It's mentioned several times that the Keeper has committed atrocities on a similar level to Death's, which is probably why he's trusted with knowledge that not even the rest of the Horsemen knows.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Berrarris]]
!Berrarris
The Keeper of Oblivion's young Maker apprentice.
----
* ShrinkingViolet: Possibly subverted, as we've only seen this behavior when Death is around.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:'''Spoiler''' character]]
!Raciel
A fallen-angel-now-demon and Hadrimon's former lover. Since Heaven's laws are extremely strict to a degree where even who they love is dictated (in Raciel and Hadrimon's case, only angels that are much closer in military rank (ex. a general and their second-in-command) are actually allowed to have a relationship), Raciel was betrayed and ratted out by Hadrimon (who was having second thoughts about their relationship) and was exiled to Hell where she eventually transformed into a demon and became the leader of a band of mercenaries.
----
* ActionGirl: Leads a band of demon mercenaries.
%%* FallenAngel
* StarCrossedLovers: Used to be this with Hadrimon, given that they were widely different ranks in Heaven's military, which, according to the angels' very strict laws, was considered illegal. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] because she now hates him due to his role in her exile.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Does not hesitate to give [[spoiler:Hadrimon one when she reunites with him.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Gulbannan]]
!Gulbannan
A once well-respected member of the Makers, until he took Lilith as a lover. However, Lilith was using him to learn his secrets about creating life (which she succeeded in doing), and after he had finished sharing all he knew, Gulbannan became worried of what Lilith might do with those secrets. Before he could do anything about it, his former apprentice, Belisatra, killed him out of interest in what Lilith would create. It's heavily implied that Lilith used her newfound abilities to create the Nephilim and, subsequently, the Four Horsemen.
----
* DeathByOriginStory: He taught Lilith how to create life, which she used to create the {{Nephilim}}, and by extension, the Four Horsemen. However, he was killed after she learned everything she could from him.
* PosthumousCharacter: Offed by Belisatra before the series began so she could find out what Lilith would do with his secrets.

[[folder:The Hunter]]
!The Hunter
!!Voiced by: Creator/SteveBlum
From the Belial DLC. A human who roamed around the ruins of Earth, whom Death eventually bumped into after hearing rumors of survivors from Uriel.
----
* ActionSurvivor: Yep. Despite his failings, he's a paragon of humanity's potential, despite how most supernatural beings dismiss humans as being weak. This guy managed to survive with just a sniper rifle, his own survival skills, and a makeshift prosthesis.
* TheAtoner: Suffers from extreme guilt of serving Belial by revealing the locations of the other survivors in exchange for his own soul back.
* BadassNormal: No special powers whatsoever. Even the 'deal' with Belial got him no powers whatsoever.
* ColdSniper: Uses a sniper rifle as his main weapon.
* HandicappedBadass: He replaced his missing leg with a makeshift prosthesis.
* HeroicBSOD: Suffers from one upon learning that [[spoiler:his soul was never taken and that the humans he helped locate died for nothing.]]
* LastOfTheirKind: Implied. When asked by Death if there were others, the Hunter merely answers that he doesn't know and that if there were he "hoped that their end was quick".
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: When it turned out [[spoiler:his soul was never taken from him and that he was merely fooled into ratting out the other humans]], the Hunter asks to be killed as penance. [[spoiler:Death complies.]]
%%* UnwittingPawn
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The Hunter was originally meant to appear as a character in the first Darksiders as an ally to War, but was scrapped for unknown reasons.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Belial]]
!Belial
!!Voiced by: Creator/FredTatasciore
From the Belial DLC. A demon who recently became a "Lord" in Hell's legions. The Hunter claimed that he had his soul and, in exchange for getting it back, he had to reveal the locations of the other human survivors.
----
* ButtMonkey: If Death's first line to him is anything to go by, Belial didn't seem all that well-respected before his ascension (probably in part of Hell's meritocratic form of government).
--> '''Death''': Belial. The Legions of Hell must be in a sorry state to make you a Lord.
* FatBastard: He's a grotesquely obese demon with the personality to match.
* IAmAHumanitarian: Shown eating a dead human right before his fight with Death.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Death finishes him off by skewering him with his own trident.
* LargeAndInCharge: He had ascended to the title of "Demon Lord" as of the Apocalypse. However, since he was stationed on Earth, it's unknown whether or not he took orders from [[TheHeavy the Destroyer]] or if he was off doing his own thing.
* ManipulativeBastard: He fooled the Hunter into ratting out his fellow human survivors by claiming to be in possession of the man's soul... despite ''not'' having any power to do so.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: Uses a trident as his WeaponOfChoice.
* YourSoulIsMine: The Hunter believed Belial had his soul. [[spoiler:It turns out it was just an empty threat meant to keep him from rebelling and that his soul was never taken in the first place.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Mad Smith]]
!The Mad Smith
!!Voiced by: Creator/KeithSzarabajka
A Maker who was imprisoned in the Shadow Lands by his kin for his creation of the Abyssal Forge.
----
* AxCrazy: When meeting Death for the first time.
* HypocriticalHumor: He pulls this off when describing the Abyssal Forge. He's called the "Mad" Smith for a reason.
-->'''Mad Smith''': And unlike myself, the Abyssal Forge is utterly insane.
* MadScientist: Even if he is a talented smith, it's clear he has a few screws loose.
* MercyKill: Asks this of Death after the destruction of the Abyssal Forge. [[spoiler:The request didn't seem all that important to him, given how aloof he was when Death decided to spare him, even stating he wanted to make a new masterpiece.]] Although, this is probably another sign of his madness...
* OhCrap: When Death tells him the seal to the Shadow Lands has been broken, the smith starts to freak out about the potential invasion of the Abyssal Forge and its armies and begs him to destroy it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Frostbane]]
!Frostbane
!!Voiced by: Creator/FredTatasciore
An ice dragon created by Argul, who summoned a soul of the Abyss to serve him. It serves as the final boss in the ''Argul's Tomb'' DLC.
----
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: Much like its master Argul, Frostbane also has domains over cold.
* {{Expy}}: It resembles the Destroyer in the first game, only being covered in ice instead of wreathed in flames.
* TheDragon: To Argul, both figuratively and literally.
* DragonTheirFeet: Frostbane is confronted long after its master has been dethroned, and likely can be faced after his defeat in Death's hands.
* SealedEvilInACan: When Argul was deposed, Frostbane was trapped inside its sanctuary and throw away into a pocket realm by the Lord of Bones away frmo anyone's reach.
[[/folder]]
!''Death's Door'' Graphic Novel Characters
[[folder:The Horsemaster]]
!The Horsemaster
The protector of a place called the Far Fields. It is from him that the Horsemen got their steeds.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: To quote Death...
-->'''Death''': When he is at rest, no being has known greater serenity. And when he is called to arms, no being is swifter at bringing everlasting darkness... [[GrimReaper Save for me]].
* CoolOldGuy: He acts very respectful towards Death and even helps him gets to Earth, saying that the latter's cause has always been just.
* {{Cowboy}}: Possibly a lone cowboy variation. Aside from dressing the part (save for what appear to be two tanto-like weapons strapped to his back), he hasn't been seen to be living with anyone else and he takes care of the horses that live in his realm.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Horsemaster is simply known to those who know him as... ''the Horsemaster''.
* TheNameless: From what Death knows, if the Horsemaster actually has a given name, he has yet to tell anyone.
* WhipItGood: Like Fury, his main weapon is a whip.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:'''Spoiler''' character]]
!Makhala
A former angel soldier from the Hellguard that was present at the Battle of Eden where the Nephilim were wiped out by the temporary alliance between the Four Horsemen and the Hellguard. However, after Absalom died and Corruption was born, Makhala became one of the first people to fall under its influence. She traveled to Earth and started a cult among the humans while spreading Corruption's influence, claiming that she's "saving" them. It wasn't until the events of Death's Door (specifically, in 18th century France) that Death hunted her down (as requested by Abaddon, when she killed several of his best soldiers (but he thought she was a demon)) and killed her.
----
* ActionGirl: Was formerly part of the Hellguard.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Thanks to Corruption. Also applies to her followers.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Partly averted. She has red hair, yet, unlike most angels, her skin isn't dark but fair.
* EvilRedhead: In stark contrast to most angel characters (who have platinum hair), Makhala has red hair.
* LightIsNotGood: She's an angel, but spreading Corruption pegs her as this trope.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Like War in the first game, she uses a crossblade. [[{{BFS}} Unlike War]], it's her main weapon.
* ReligionOfEvil: Started one of these on Earth under the influence of Corruption.

* ManipulativeBastard: He fooled the Hunter into ratting out his fellow human survivors by claiming to be in possession of the man's soul... despite ''not'' having any power to do so.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: Uses a trident as his WeaponOfChoice.
* YourSoulIsMine: The Hunter believed Belial had his soul. [[spoiler:It turns out it was just an empty threat meant to keep him from rebelling and that his soul was never taken in the first place.]]

[[folder:The Mad Smith]]
!The Mad Smith
!!Voiced by: Creator/KeithSzarabajka
A Maker who was imprisoned in the Shadow Lands by his kin for his creation of the Abyssal Forge.
----
* AxCrazy: When meeting Death for the first time.
* HypocriticalHumor: He pulls this off when describing the Abyssal Forge. He's called the "Mad" Smith for a reason.
-->'''Mad Smith''': And unlike myself, the Abyssal Forge is utterly insane.
* MadScientist: Even if he is a talented smith, it's clear he has a few screws loose.
* MercyKill: Asks this of Death after the destruction of the Abyssal Forge. [[spoiler:The request didn't seem all that important to him, given how aloof he was when Death decided to spare him, even stating he wanted to make a new masterpiece.]] Although, this is probably another sign of his madness...
* OhCrap: When Death tells him the seal to the Shadow Lands has been broken, the smith starts to freak out about the potential invasion of the Abyssal Forge and its armies and begs him to destroy it.

[[folder:Frostbane]]
!Frostbane
!!Voiced by: Creator/FredTatasciore
An ice dragon created by Argul, who summoned a soul of the Abyss to serve him. It serves as the final boss in the ''Argul's Tomb'' DLC.
----
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: Much like its master Argul, Frostbane also has domains over cold.
* {{Expy}}: It resembles the Destroyer in the first game, only being covered in ice instead of wreathed in flames.
* TheDragon: To Argul, both figuratively and literally.
* DragonTheirFeet: Frostbane is confronted long after its master has been dethroned, and likely can be faced after his defeat in Death's hands.
* SealedEvilInACan: When Argul was deposed, Frostbane was trapped inside its sanctuary and throw away into a pocket realm by the Lord of Bones away frmo anyone's reach.

[[folder:The Horsemaster]]
!The Horsemaster
The protector of a place called the Far Fields. It is from him that the Horsemen got their steeds.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: To quote Death...
-->'''Death''': When he is at rest, no being has known greater serenity. And when he is called to arms, no being is swifter at bringing everlasting darkness... [[GrimReaper Save for me]].
* CoolOldGuy: He acts very respectful towards Death and even helps him gets to Earth, saying that the latter's cause has always been just.
* {{Cowboy}}: Possibly a lone cowboy variation. Aside from dressing the part (save for what appear to be two tanto-like weapons strapped to his back), he hasn't been seen to be living with anyone else and he takes care of the horses that live in his realm.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Horsemaster is simply known to those who know him as... ''the Horsemaster''.
* TheNameless: From what Death knows, if the Horsemaster actually has a given name, he has yet to tell anyone.
* WhipItGood: Like Fury, his main weapon is a whip.

[[folder:'''Spoiler''' character]]
!Makhala
A former angel soldier from the Hellguard that was present at the Battle of Eden where the Nephilim were wiped out by the temporary alliance between the Four Horsemen and the Hellguard. However, after Absalom died and Corruption was born, Makhala became one of the first people to fall under its influence. She traveled to Earth and started a cult among the humans while spreading Corruption's influence, claiming that she's "saving" them. It wasn't until the events of Death's Door (specifically, in 18th century France) that Death hunted her down (as requested by Abaddon, when she killed several of his best soldiers (but he thought she was a demon)) and killed her.
----
* ActionGirl: Was formerly part of the Hellguard.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Thanks to Corruption. Also applies to her followers.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Partly averted. She has red hair, yet, unlike most angels, her skin isn't dark but fair.
* EvilRedhead: In stark contrast to most angel characters (who have platinum hair), Makhala has red hair.
* LightIsNotGood: She's an angel, but spreading Corruption pegs her as this trope.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Like War in the first game, she uses a crossblade. [[{{BFS}} Unlike War]], it's her main weapon.
* ReligionOfEvil: Started one of these on Earth under the influence of Corruption.
