* DiscontinuityNod: In the late Season 2 fight against Nagi [[spoiler:when Sieghard is trying to convince her to make a HeelFaceTurn and become [[BloodBrothers Blood Siblings]]]], he references the SpellMyNameWithAnS issue that he had at the beginning of Season 2 - [[spoiler:among the nicknames that he suggests Nagi use for him as an honorary sibling, he notes that some people even call him "Zeke," short for "Zekehart," the first translation used with him]].

The leader of the Sworn Six and Sworn of the Dark, a valiant man who believes in his friends and deems them as TrueCompanions. After being betrayed by Aldore and having himself and his team banished to Lapis, he starts hatching a plan to get back to Paladia and enact revenge, [[spoiler:that is, until Raegen decides that it's just not worth it and deserts the team, leaving it headless, to Citra's extreme chagrin]]. [[spoiler:Citra eventually manages to create a Vision of him from the times of the Independence War, and tries a forceful recruitment of the real Raegen herself, which ends badly when Raegen, now a married man with children, watches his wife [[TakingTheBullet take a shot meant for him and die in his arms]], causing Raegen to drop even his son to [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge embark on a journey to stop his former companions]].]]

In Season 2, after sorting most of his problems out, he becomes the {{Deuteragonist}}, with his own path set apart from Lasswell, and his own party [[spoiler:comprised of the other members of the Sworn Six]], in his own mission to [[spoiler:free Paladia from Aldore's dictatorship]].

** [[spoiler:The 7th Anniversarry event however plays this straight, having five of the Sworn Six, plus Sakura, become mind controlled by Dioxus and donning their Veritas armors, thanks to its technology using the same crystals used on Dioxus' armor and [[FightingYourFriend forcing Raegen and company to fight them]].]]

* CloningBlues: As revealed in "Chasing Light", [[spoiler:the version of Darklord summoned by Lightlord is earnestly looking forward with the chance to cross swords with the real Raegen, feeling that the latter abandoned who he was, and the vision wishes to defeat the real Raegen to become the "true" Darklord. He gets his chance in the Pharm arc, even managing to overpower Raegen despite his opponent being in the Frostlord's armor.]]

A member of the original Sworn Eight of Paladia that fought in the war between Aldore and Hess. He was thought to be dead after the war, but traveled 50 years into the future to the War of the Visions timeline. [[spoiler: His armor was taken over by Sir Raegen to counter the current Sworn Six.]]

* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:He is shown to have allied with Amnelis, the unseen Sage of Lightning in the War of the Visions timeline, to cause the "Time of Judgement" in order to be able to return to Paladia and get back at Vlad.]]

* OverprotectiveDad: Hinted at several times during Season 2, but confirmed in the epilogue: [[spoiler:Cid is defensive about both Mid and Yego and wants to make sure that neither will be hurt... and that includes by jerk boyfriends. Keep in mind that both managed to become elite forces all on their own]].

* BladeOnAStick: He fights like a traditional ''Final Fantasy'' dragoon and thus specializes in using spears for jumping and thrusting attacks.

* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:He is shown to have allied with Minerva, the unseen Sage of Lightning in the War of the Visions timeline, to cause the "Time of Judgement" in order to be able to return to Paladia and get back at Vlad.]]

** Fun fact: The tournament was to decide who was going to be the RightHandMan to ''Raegen's grandfather''. [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom grats, Dioxus]].

* IJustWantToBeFree: Interestingly enough, Dioxus values his own freedom ''a lot'', to the point some players confuse [[SocialDarwinist his rhetoric]] with flat out Libertarianism. It's also how he's able to realize Hess' situation and how ViolenceIsTheOnlySolution in regards to Vlad's rule, as well as the main reason why he was such a WildCard for the Aldoran Empire; he's not going to blindly take orders from someone he doesn't respect.

** It is heavily hinted at in Season 4 that [[spoiler:Raegen's Mirror of Equity might actually derive from Demideus, a technique employed by Luce and passed to him through multiple generations]].

** [[spoiler:The 7th Anniversarry event however plays this straight, having five of the Sworn Six, plus Sakura, become mind controlled by Dioses and donning their Veritas armors, thanks to its technology using the same crystals used on Dioses' armor and [[FightingYourFriend forcing Raegen and company to fight them]].]]

** [[spoiler:At the end of the 7th Anniversary Story Event, Raegen's Darklord armor is all but gone for good, destroyed in the battle between Rain and Dioses, with Nichol deciding to look for the remaining shards of the armor so they don't get used for evil.]]

!Dioses, first Veritas of the Dark
The original Veritas of the Dark selected by Vlad, leader of a predecessor group to Raegen's. A BloodKnight by nature and known for having murdered his companions, Raegen was ordered by Vlad to stop him, an effort that took all of the Sworn Eight to accomplish, resulting in his death. He comes back 700 years later as a Vision, hell bent on achieving his revenge against everyone and weaponizing the technology of the Veritas' {{Powered Armor}}s, revealed to have all been based on the technology and magic used in his own armor, and is defeated again, this time by Rain.

* DestinationDefenestration: Raegen's team defeats him the first time by throwing him off the top of Aldore Tower, and, as such place is already outside Paladia's atmosphere, the reentry does the rest of the work by [[ReducedToDust burning Dioses down to nothing]], only pieces of his armor surviving.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Dioses was right in that Vlad's Aldore were actually the oppressors, and that nothing short of total conflict ''and victory'' would stop that. Had Raegen listened to his reasoning and suggestion to rebel instead of having to spend 700 years in a foreign world...
* TheJuggernaut: Dioses was so far above his own team of Veritas that Vlad would often send him ''alone'' to deal with his enemies. He proves his status, however, when he fights all seven of his formers partners and ''kills them all''.
* MadeOfEvil: Dioses' Vision is his bloodlust and ambition made physical, and he needs numerous vision crystals to sustain his own existence.
* SocialDarwinist: Dioses has a strong belief that the world should be inhabited by the strongest.
* SpotTheThread: Dioses is far smarter than he's given credit for, and he quickly notices that Vlad was setting him and Raegen up to die in a conflict with the newly-formed Sages of Hess.
* WildCard: Dioses' [[BloodKnight extreme bloodlust]] and unwillingness to blindly follow Vlad's orders caused the Emperor to sic Raegen's team on him.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Dioses was too much of a WildCard to be kept in check by Vlad, a problem that peaked when Dioses defected Aldore and struck on his own. Had Raegen not killed him when he did, Vlad would have banished him with the other Sworn to Lapis anyways.

* LostOrphanedRoyalty: Was saved from [[spoiler:the royal family of Aldore being murdered by Vlad by Yuraisha, who named him and raised him as her own son]]. When he learned the truth, he joined Aldore's side in the war.

* PlayingNiceForNow: [[spoiler:The only reason he even joined the Veritas was to get close enough to Vlad so he could kill him. Yuraisha was heavily disapproving of this idea, however, and this drove Raegen apart from her.]]
