* [[spoiler:OnlyInItForTheMoney: You need to have 15000 Gold on hand to get her back in ''Destiny''. But this isn't out of malice on her part, rather it is in order for her repair systems to quickly complete themselves, as she literally operates on money. Although, it is unclear how much of that is actually needed and how much of it is due to the Time Goddess' personality.]]

!![[spoiler:Asurako]]

!![[spoiler:Cozain]]

[[spoiler:Son of Zain, the Black Knight Evil Lord. After Zain's defeat in ''Judgement'', he appears periodically throughout the game to take revenge for his father's death, fighting each of the heroes at least once.
