!!The Dark Hand
An international crime syndicate that the Chan Clan have encountered on numerous occasions, unaware of its true scope and power.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In canon, the organization was Valmont's private criminal empire and collapsed after his multiple defeats and eventual imprisonment. Here, Valmont’s group is revealed to have been just one facet of world-spanning organization [[spoiler: that is secretly controlling Section 13 as part of a larger agenda]].
* EnemyCivilWar: Their North American branch underwent this following Valmont’s downfall.
* EvilPowerVacuum: Valmont's downfall caused all his underlings in the North American branch to fight each other for control. The chaos only ends when Chang comes over from Asia to start cleaning up the mess and appoint a new leader.
** Section 13 has learned from this, and attempts to take advantage of it when they move in to deal with Chang. [[spoiler: They flip Harold and set him up to be their MoleInCharge… except Harold’s actual been a Dark Hand leader all along, and was just playing Section 13.]]
* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod is that their portrayal in this story is based on the Light from ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: Their true goal is to manipulate Earth's governments to start using magic, in order to protect the world from perceived extra-dimensional threats.]]
----
[[folder: Bartholomew Chang]]
The Asian branch leader of the Dark Hand, Chang comes to America to reorganize the local branch after former leader Valmont's imprisonment.
----
* ArcWelding: In canon, his crime empire was by all accounts independent of the Dark Hand. Here, he's one of the group's leaders.
* ArtificialLimbs: His prosthetic hand, as per canon.
* CloningGambit: [[spoiler: He magically clones himself and lets said clone get arrested by Section 13 after Harold "[[DoubleAgent changes sides]]", enabling him to keep running the Asian branch from the shadows while Harold takes over the American branch while pretending to be Section 13's mole.]]
* ShockAndAwe: Briefly during the subway fight, thanks to getting ahold of [[spoiler: [[MacGuffin the Gauntlet of Indra]]]].
* VillainousValor: He absolutely refuses to let the Guardians defeat him during the subway fight. It takes [[spoiler: Nimue shattering the Gauntlet of Indra]] for him to finally cut his losses and run.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: [[spoiler: Harold Hale]]]]
Cornelia's father, who is revealed to be a MiddleManagementMook serving under Chang. [[spoiler: In actuality, he's one of the Dark Hand's leaders and the mythical King Arthur.]]
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: In both the comic and TV versions of ''W.I.T.C.H.'' canon, he's a completely decent person. Here, he's an affiliate of the Dark Hand, albeit in an IDidWhatIHadToDo sort of way. [[spoiler: Then later it's revealed that he's actually one of their leaders.]]
* BrokenPedestal: Becomes this to his daughter after she learns what his job really is.
* DoubleAgent: [[spoiler: He lets Section 13 think he's their mole, so he can fully take over the North American branch without arising their suspicions.]]
* ExactWords: He manages to give his daughter advice based on his own past experiences, worded in such a way to avoid giving away that [[spoiler: he's the immortal King Arthur]].
* EyeScream: [[spoiler: Ross stabs him in the eye with a pen, only for him to reveal that he has a HealingFactor, which quickly undoes the damage.]]
* {{Good Parent|s}}: Whatever his flaws, he's still a doting parent, who at one point notably gives Cornelia good advice on how to reach Elyon after their falling out.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: How he justifies working for the Dark Hand — doing so keeps his family safe and secure.
* JustifiedCriminal: He feels he's this, since he's doing it for his family.
* MiddleManagementMook: He's above the grunts, but isn't part of the upper echelons. [[spoiler: Or at least, that's what we're meant to believe.]]
* PunchClockVillain: Works a 9-to-5 office job just like many other husbands and fathers, except it's as part of a criminal empire. [[spoiler: Partly averted later on, when it turns out he’s actually one of the Dark Hand's leaders, not just another minion.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Jackie in Chapter 7, saying that Jackie is in no position to judge him for his work with the Dark Hand, when his own actions (removing Valmont and triggering an EnemyCivilWar) have caused many innocent people to get caught in the crossfire and suffer.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler: He's an immortal King Arthur, so he's been around for centuries.]]
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: Learns about the Guardians through the Dark Hand's resources.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Due to his connection to the Dark Hand [[spoiler: and his true identity]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Hak Foo]]
A mercenary once employed by Valmont, during which he fought the Chans several times, now working under Chang.
----
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Is left virtually catatonic by Ikki’s mask draining his chi.]]
* BarehandedBladeBlock: Does this with Caleb's sword during the subway fight, thanks to being empowered by his Oni mask.
* CallingYourAttacks: As per canon. Tohru eventually [[LampshadeHanging points out]] that this just tells his opponents what he's planning.
* CoDragons: Along with Crane, he serves as one of Chang's chief enforcers.
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: Ikki, the General of the Mantis Khan mask he's wearing, eventually possesses him during the subway fight.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He cannot understand why Jackie remains so humble despite being possibly the greatest fighter alive, when he himself has worked so hard to earn that title and the recognition that comes with it. It's part of why he hates Jackie so much.
* EvilIsNotAToy: Is completely confident that he can use the Oni mask without consequences. But in the end, [[spoiler: leaving it on for so long drains his chi and leaves him virtually catatonic when it's removed]].
* MotiveRant: He gives Jackie one during their duel in Chapter 17, explaining his reasons for working for the likes of Valmont and Chang as well as for hating Jackie.
* ShutUpKirk: When Jackie tries to appeal to him to abandon his Oni mask by pointing out that relying on its power means that he technically isn't actually the strongest person around, Hak responds by saying that as long as he beats Jackie, he doesn't care.
* WorthyOpponent: He reluctantly admits that he views Jackie as this, due to his respect for Jackie’s skill as a fighter.
