* AdaptationalBadass: In ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', Doyle was an incompetent leader who lacked any military experience. This version is a skilled tactician capable of coordinating an army in a multifront battle. In addition, the fact that Ironwood trusts him enough to leave him in charge of Vale's defenses indicates that Doyle actually earned his rank of colonel based on his own merits rather than gaining it through succession like his ''[=RvB=]'' counterpart.

A colonel in the Atlesian military and Ironwood's operational second-in-command. During the Battle of Beacon, he takes charge of the forces left to defend Vale.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', Doyle was an incompetent leader who lacked any military experience. This version is a skilled tactician capable of coordinating an army in a multifront battle. In addition, the fact that Ironwood trusts him enough to leave him in charge of Vale's defenses indicates that Doyle actually earned his rank of colonel based on his own merits rather than gaining it through succession like his ''[=RvB=]'' counterpart.
* AdaptationalJobChange: This version of Doyle is a colonel instead of a general like his ''Red vs. Blue'' counterpart.
* TheFaceless: When he's introduced, his face is covered by a fully-sealed helmet.

* AdultFear: Imagine waking up one day to find that your teenage son has suddenly gone missing with no way of knowing where or why he has disappeared. Then you go ''months'' with no clue as to what happened to him until [[spoiler:one day, while watching the TV, you see live footage of your missing son committing mass murder.]]
* HappilyMarried: They've had eight kids and continue to have a solid marriage. Their love for each other hasn't waned either, if Jaune's comments in "Dance" are to be believed.

[[caption-width-right:280:One of the Temple's shadow monks.]]
!!!'''Debut:''' Legends
->''"They were a group of 'shadow monks', so to speak. A death cult that worshipped the Brother of Darkness, from the religion of the Two Brothers. They saw death and destruction as the perfect way to honor their dark god, and would hire themselves out as mercenaries and assassins, doing all sorts of evil deeds."''
-->-- '''Store clerk''', "Dance"
\\
A Valean death cult that was active around the time of the Great War. They were once part of the Church of the Two Brothers until one of their monks [[spoiler:discovered the [[EvilMask Mask of Nihilus]] after scavenging it from a "falling star". Believing the mask to be a gift from the heavens, they broke off from the Church and formed a CargoCult surrounding the mask. Nihilus corrupted the cult to the Dark Side and converted them into his personal assassins.]] Renaming themselves the "Temple of Shadows", the Temple carried out countless contract killings during the Great War, as well as sacrificing hundreds of innocent people to their dark god.
\\\
Eventually, word of their crimes reached King Osmund of Vale, who branded the group as heretics and sent his army to wipe them out. Despite the total destruction of the cult, their feared reputation would inspire several fashion designers to create Huntsmen outfits based on the robes worn by the Temple's assassins.
----
* BadassArmy: They're an army of assassins capable of going toe-to-toe with Vale's military during the Great War.
* CargoCult: [[spoiler:They started out worshipping Nihilus's mask because they assumed it was a gift from the Brother Gods.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: They are first mentioned in "Dance" by a clerk at the clothing store where Jaune buys his new Huntsman outfit. They later make a proper appearance in "Legends", where it's revealed that they were [[spoiler:founded by Nihilus shortly after his mask was dumped on Remnant.]]
* ChildSoldiers: While storming their monastery, Alixandre is disheartened to see that some of their assassins were just children.
* CombatPragmatist: Being assassins, they never fight fairly and prefer to ambush their opponents when they're tired or distracted.
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: They are an evil expy of the Jedi Order. Like the Jedi, they're a religious order of monks who train in combat, initially used supernatural abilities to protect the weak against the darkness, indoctrinate children, and have their leaders going by the rank of "Grand Master". Much like how the Jedi were wiped out by the Clone Army at the end of the Clone Wars, the Temple was also eradicated by Vale's military at the end of the Great War. However, the Temple of Shadows is a death cult that performed human sacrifices, used their abilities to carry out high-profile assassinations, and worshipped the God of Darkness rather than serve the Light Side like the Jedi did. [[spoiler:Knowing Nihilus, this may have been [[EvilKnockoff intentional]].]]
* {{Cult}}: They have all the markings of one. Their followers are kept isolated from mainstream society, their entire lives revolve around worshipping the God of Darkness ([[spoiler:actually the Mask of Darth Nihilus]]), and they regularly sacrifice humans in the name of their dark god.
* DarkIsEvil: They call themselves the Temple of ''Shadows'', worship the Brother of Darkness, and dress in black robed outfits.
* EliteArmy: Downplayed. While the numerically-superior army of Vale eventually succeeds in wiping out the much smaller cult, each assassin is so skilled and dangerous that for every cult member killed, a dozen Valean soldiers die in the effort.
* EliteMook: Their assassins were a cut above the average Valean soldier and for every assassin Vale's army killed, a dozen Valean soldiers would die in the process.
* FaceHeelTurn: They were once a noble order of monks devoted to protecting the weak and spreading the message of their church. [[spoiler:The Mask of Nihilus gradually corrupted them into his own personal cult of assassins.]]
* FamedInStory: By the modern-day, they're remembered as one of the most feared assassins' guilds in history. Some clothing stores even sell replicas of their assassin's garb to huntsmen.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Before being exposed to the Dark Side's corrupting influence, they were a minor religious sect whose sphere of influence was limited to a few isolated villages along Vale's eastern mountains. Skip to decades later, and they've become a death cult with a body count likely in the hundreds (if not thousands) and have garnered a reputation as the number one assassin guild in all of Remnant.
* TheHeretic: They were once part of the Church of the Two Brothers until they were corrupted by the Dark Side and abandoned the church in favor of starting a death cult that solely worshipped the God of Darkness.
* HitAndRunTactics: When Vale's army stormed their monastery, the Temple's monks would make use of hit-and-run tactics, waiting for Vale's soldiers to let their guard down before suddenly swooping in to kill them before vanishing.
* HumanSacrifice: They sacrificed countless victims to the God of Darkness. [[spoiler:In reality, they were being duped by Nihilus, who needed a steady supply of living people for his mask to consume.]]
* KillEmAll: Every member of the cult is killed by Vale's army after they storm their hideout.
* LastStand
* MurderInc: Became an assassin guild that offered contracts to both sides during the Great War.
* {{Ninja}}: They're a secretive group of warriors who wear black clothing, use swift movements and stealth in combat, and carry out assassinations for money.
* PosthumousCharacter: All of them have been dead for nearly eighty years by present day.
* PragmaticVillainy: They took up work as assassins primarily because they needed more people to sacrifice [[spoiler:to Nihilus's mask]] without drawing suspicion. They decided that if they were going to kill a lot of people, they may as well get paid for it.
* ProfessionalKillers: They would carry out contract killings on politicians, military leaders, and the wealthy elite during the Great War.
* PsychoForHire
* ReligionOfEvil: They explicitly worship the God of Darkness, kidnap random travelers to sacrifice to their Dark God, and preach spreading death and destruction in their deity's name.

[[folder:Petros Krizoz]]
!!Grand Master Petros Krizoz
!!!'''Species:''' Remnantian
!!!'''Debut:''' Legends
->''"So, the Warrior-King Osmund has finally grown tired of our presence. Come child. Gather your brothers and sisters, and we shall honor our Lord by dying well."''
\\
The Grand Master of the Temple of Shadows, a death cult that worshipped the God of Darkness. He was once a humble monk from the Church of the Two Brothers until one day, when he came across a strange artifact while investigating the crash site of a "falling star". [[spoiler:After being corrupted by Nihilus, he gradually took over his sect of the Church and transformed it into a death cult centered around the worship of Nihilus's mask.]]
----
* BadassLongRobe: He dresses in a black robes and is a master assassin.
* BlackCloak: He wears black robes which make him look menacing and mysterious.
* DragonInChief: [[spoiler:Darth Nihilus's mask is the one really controlling the cult, but he relies on Petros to carry out his orders and allows Petros to run his cult however he sees fit.]]
* EvilLaugh: Starts cackling while facing off against Alixandre.
* EvilOldFolks: Doesn't let his old age stop him from leading an assassin death cult.
* EvilMakesYouUgly: While under the Dark Side's influence, Petros's eyes turn yellow, his skin becomes wrinkled and pale, and his teeth turn rotted.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: While facing off against Alixandre, Petros speaks in a raspy voice. Justified since Petros was a decrepit old man by that point and his vocal chords had likely worn down with age.
* {{Expy}}: He's basically an elderly Tyrian Callows reimagined as a cult leader, being a highly religious assassin that reveres the BigBad as a god and gleefully slaughters innocent people in their master's name.
* FaceHeelTurn: Was once a peaceful monk devoted to protecting and guiding the weak. [[spoiler:Under Nihilus's influence, he turns into a violent cult leader and a master assassin devoted to sacrificing innocent people to sate Nihilus's hunger.]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare: He was just some random monk before [[spoiler:Nihilus's mask]] corrupted him into a master assassin and cult leader.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Alixandre Arc kills him by running him through with Crocea Mors.
* IronicName: Petros is the Greek version of the name Peter, which means stone/rock. He gets killed by a guy who has [[DishingOutDirt Geokinesis]] as his Semblance.
* KilledOffscreen: His death is never shown onscreen and the reader only sees its prelude and aftermath. Right as Petros is about to fight Alixandre, the story uses a ChargeIntoCombatCut to transition to the next scene which shows an exhausted Alixandre standing triumphantly over Petros's eviscerated corpse.
* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: He takes advantage of the Great War by offering his assassins' services to both sides, creating a lot of wealth for his cult and providing a lot of victims to sacrifice to his god.
* MeaningfulName: "Petros" is the Greek version of the name "Peter" and originates from the Greek translation of [[Literature/TheBible the Bible]]. In the Bible, Peter was the most prominent of Jesus' twelve disciples and became the first pope of the Catholic Church following Christ's death. Like Peter, [[spoiler:Petros was Nihilus's first worshipper on Remnant and he too would eventually become the leader of a religious sect devoted to following Nihilus's teachings.]]
* MouthOfSauron: For the God of Darkness, who communicates to Petros through the Temple's artifact. [[spoiler:In reality, it's Darth Nihilus's soul.]]
* NotAfraidToDie: When Vale's army attacks his stronghold, rather than flee, he chooses to stay behind for a LastStand. When he's finally corned by Vale's soldiers, he shows no fear of dying and instead welcomes a good fight.
* OddNameOut: His name doesn't follow the Color Rule of the setting. Justified since he lived before the Great War.
* OldMaster: By the time he's an old man, he's no longer an active assassin but spends his time training the next generation.
* OriginalCharacter: Was created solely for this fanfic.
* ScaryTeeth: His teeth become completely rotted under the Dark Side's influence.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: By the time he's an old man, he sports yellow eyes indicating that he's fallen under the influence to the Dark Side.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:To Darth Nihilus, to the point where he was willing to sacrifice his life in Nihilus's name when Vale's army attacked the Temple.]]
* {{Unperson}}: Alix is so disgusted by Krizoz's crimes that he personally ensures that there are no records left of his existence.
* WarriorMonk: Was one in his youth.
* WeakButSkilled: He lacks any Force-sensitivity, [[spoiler:making Nihilus unable to possess him]]. However, his skills as an assassin are second-to-none. Under his leadership, the Temple of Shadows went from being a minor religious sect to the most feared assassin guild in all of Remnant.

[[folder:King Osmund]]
!!King Osmund
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_of_vale.jpg]]
!!!'''Debut:''' Legends (mentioned)
Ozpin's previous incarnation as the King of Vale. After the Great War ended, he dismantled the military and established the Huntsmen Academies.
----
* AbdicateTheThrone: Stepped down from his throne after the Great War ended.
* TheGhost: Is only mentioned a few times during Alix's POV segment.
* TheGoodKing: He was a benevolent ruler who had an evil cult wiped out and later stepped down from his throne to establish a democracy.
* GreaterScopeParagon: Though he never appears in "Legends", General Alixandre answers to him and he was the one who gave the order to have Vale's army wipe out the Temple of Shadows.
* MeaningfulName: Osmund is a Germanic name meaning "divine protector".
* NamedByTheAdaptation: His name is "Osmund", while in canon he is unnamed.
* PosthumousCharacter: Played with. While the man himself is long dead by the events in the story, part of his soul survives in Ozpin, who is his reincarnation.
* WarriorPrince: He's known as the Warrior-King Osmund.

[[folder:Alixandre Arc]]
!!General Alixandre "Alix" Arc
!!!'''Species:''' Remnantian
!!!'''Debut:''' Legends
A Valean general who fought in the Great War and Jaune's great-great-grandfather. He led Vale's army and was responsible for eradicating the Temple of Shadows under King Osmund's orders.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''A'''lixandre '''A'''rc.
* CallToAgriculture: After the Great War ended, he moved to the countryside and retired to a quiet life as a farmer.
* ChekhovsGunman: In "Dreams", Jaune mentions how his sword originally belonged to his great-great-grandfather, who used it to fight in the Great War. In "Legends", it turns out that Jaune's ancestor was the one responsible for wiping out the Temple of Shadows [[spoiler:and sealing away the Mask of Darth Nihilus in the cave where Jaune found it.]]
* CoolSword: He was the original owner of Crocea Mors and used it in battle during the Great War.
* DishingOutDirt: His Semblance, Geokinesis, allows him to control the earth by stomping his foot on the ground. [[spoiler:He uses it to create a cave in the cliffside and seals Nihilus's mask inside.]]
* {{Foil}}: To the canon version of General Ironwood. Like Ironwood, Alixandre is the leading general of a kingdom's military who served one of Ozma's incarnations. Whereas canon!Ironwood believed that [[ItsAllAboutMe only he]] [[HolierThanThou knew best]] and was partially driven by the [[SecretlySelfish desire to be proven right]], Alixandre remained a HumbleHero who put the needs of his kingdom ahead of his own. While Ironwood often questioned Ozpin's decisions, Alixandre remained [[UndyingLoyalty unquestioningly loyal]] to the very end. Canon!Ironwood is incapable of accepting any responsibility for when things go wrong and constantly feels the need to [[NeverMyFault blame someone else]]. When Alixandre was nearly manipulated by Nihilus, he [[ItsAllMyFault blamed himself]] for falling for Nihilus's lies and had a MyGodWhatHaveIDone reaction to nearly putting on Nihilus's mask. The way they acted when pressured by the BigBad also differs significantly. When Salem preyed on Ironwood's fear of her in the penultimate episode of Volume 7, he wound up turning on Ozpin and went completely off the deep end. When Nihilus tried to manipulate Alix by taking advantage of his buried resentment towards Osmund, Alix managed to resist Nihilus's influence and put the wellbeing of his kingdom above his own petty desires. This is also reflected in their choice of weapons. Alixandre uses a sword and shield (close-range weapons) while Ironwood used a pair of pistols (long-range weapons).
* FourStarBadass: A skilled warrior who holds the rank of general and has the skill to back it up.
* FrontlineGeneral: Fights on the front line alongside his troops.
* GenreBlind: [[spoiler:After resisting Nihilus's influence and sealing the mask inside a cave, he decides to forget all about it, thinking that no one will ever manage to find Nihilus's mask.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: While he is a noble and courageous man, he shows little mercy to those that dare to threaten the people of Vale, as shown with how he wiped out all traces of the Temple of Shadows and showed no quarter (even to the Temple's {{Child Soldier}}s).
* GreaterScopeParagon: Alixandre was one of Jaune's main inspirations for wanting to become a hero, having grown up being told stories of Alix's exploits during the Great War by his parents. He's also the one who destroyed the Temple of Shadows and [[spoiler:originally sealed Nihilus's mask inside the cavern that Jaune stumbles into at the start of the story.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He's the heroic and selfless general of Vale's army whose had many adventures while fighting in the Great War. His victory over the Temple of Shadows is one of many legendary feats he accomplished over the course of his life.
* HeroicWillpower: [[spoiler:Was able to resist Nihilus's corruption at the last second through his strong morals and deep loyalty to his kingdom.]]
* HiddenDepths: Despite presenting himself as a HumbleHero, a small part of Alix was resentful towards Osmund for disbanding the military and felt that he deserved more for his lifelong service in the army.
* HumbleHero: When he was offered a parade to escort him home, he turned it down and considered loyalty to be its own reward.
* IdealHero: Selfless, noble, humble, kind-hearted, and devoted to doing the right thing no matter what. He checks off many of the qualifications.
* KnightInShiningArmor: He's the archetypal noble warrior who dresses in armor and champions the weak against evil forces like the Temple.
* MeaningfulName: Alixandre is the French form for the Greek name "Alexander", which roughly means "defender of man".
* NamedByTheAdaptation: In canon, Jaune's great-great-grandfather is only mentioned once and isn't even named. In this fic, he's given the name Alixandre.
* OddNameOut: His name doesn't follow the "color naming rule" of ''RWBY''. Justified since he's living in a time period that took place before that rule was established.
* OCStandIn: While Jaune has mentioned his great-great-grandfather in canon, the only thing known about him was that he previously owned Crocea Mors and fought in the Great War. Here, he's portrayed as a paragon of justice who led Vale's army during the Great War and showed UndyingLoyalty to Vale's king.
* PosthumousCharacter: He's likely been dead for decades by present day.
* PrecursorHero: He was a noble Valean general who fought during the Great War and was deeply loyal to Ozma's incarnation as the King of Vale. He was responsible for wiping out a cult of assassins that worshipped the God of Darkness and [[spoiler:imprisoned Nihilus's mask inside a cave after resisting Nihilus's influence over his mind.]]
* TheResenter: A part of him was resentful towards Osmund for disbanding Vale's military, believing that he deserved to be given some kind of reward for his loyalty and feeling like he was being discarded now that he was no longer needed. [[spoiler:The Mask of Nihilus preyed on this resentment and used Alix's feelings of being unappreciated to try and convince him to overthrow Vale's newly democratic government and install his own military dictatorship. Luckily, Alix manages to break free from Nihilus's control through his own HeroicWillpower.]]
* RetiredBadass: Once the Great War is over, Alixandre steps down as general and retires to a quiet life in Ansel, where he spends the rest of his days raising his son and tending to his family's farm.
* ScarredEquipment: He keeps the battle damage on his armor because he considered it a source of pride and a symbol of his experience.
* WouldHurtAChild: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Alixandre is saddened upon discovering that some of the Temple's cultists he's killing are children, but he doesn't let that stop him from carrying out his orders to execute all of the Temple's assassins.

[[folder:Lieutenant Isabelle]]
!!Lieutenant Isabelle
!!!'''Debut:''' Legends
One of General Arc's lieutenants during the Great War. She fought by his side while storming the Temple of Shadows' base and was amongst those who survived the battle.
----
* ActionGirl: The fact that she was among the soldiers who took on the Temple of Shadows and survived speaks volumes to how skilled she is in battle.
* BloodSplatteredWarrior: After wiping out the Temple of Shadows, her body is drenched in blood from all the cultists she killed.
* FlatCharacter: She doesn't receive much characterization aside from being highly-disciplined.
* MilitarySalute: She impresses Alixandre by giving him a perfect military salute after the battle with Krizoz's cultists despite being both wounded and covered in blood.
* OneShotCharacter: She only appears once during a flashback and is never seen again.

Supernatural beings who have shaped Remnant's legends and myths.

[[folder:The Two Brothers]]
!!The God of Light & God of Darkness
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rwby_gods.PNG]]
!!!'''Species:''' Celestials
A pair of Celestials worshipped as gods by the humans of Remnant. They were responsible for creating the humans native to Remnant as well as cursing Ozpin with reincarnation.
----
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: They go from being actual deities to Celestials.
* AllThereInTheManual: Much of what is known about them, from their nature as Celestials to being the creators of the terentatek, comes from the author's AN or in his written responses to reviewers.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: For all of Nihilus's vast power, even at full strength he can't compare to the Celestials, which includes the Brother Gods. [[spoiler:During the final battle, a single blast from Ruby's Silver Eyes instantly downs him. Considering that the Silver Eyes were gifted to humanity by the God of Light, it's safe to say that a confrontation between the God of Light and Nihilus would have likely been even more one-sided.]]
* ForScience: Being the Celestials' equivalent of scientists, much of their actions and motivations stem from this. They created all life on Remnant -- including a new subspecies of humanity and the Grimm -- as part of an unknown experiment. Likewise, part of the reason they brought back a new iteration of humanity, as well as curse Ozma and Salem with immortality, was because they wanted to see whether a species is capable of surviving without having a direct connection to the Force.
* TheGhost: Are only mentioned thus far.
* GreaterScopeVillain: The God of Darkness created the terentatek which attacked Jaune in Forever Fall as part of his experiments. He was also worshipped by the Temple of Shadows and [[spoiler:Nihilus impersonated him in order to get the Temple to do his bidding.]]
* IHaveManyNames: The God of Darkness is known by several different names on Remnant including the Brother of Darkness, Dark God, and Dark Brother.
* TheMaker: They are responsible for creating all life on Remnant, including humanity and the Grimm. It's also implied that they even created the solar system Remnant is located in.
* MakerOfMonsters: The God of Darkness created the Grimm, as well as [[spoiler:a collection of Dark Side creatures like the terentatek.]]
* NotMeThisTime: Ozpin suspects their involvement with Jaune's powers since Jaune's possession almost seems like a combination of his and Salem's backstories.
* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: This fic retcons them as being Celestials, a race of aliens who built the ''Star Wars'' galaxy in the ''Legends'' continuity and are so powerful in the Force that they might as well be {{Physical God}}s.
* WorldsStrongestMan: They are bar none the most powerful characters in the setting. Even Nihilus at his full strength is no match for them.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Maidens]]
A group of four extremely powerful Force spirits who grant their hosts control over the elements of nature.
----
* AdaptationalOriginConnection: This fic's version of the Maidens have their origins altered so they are powerful Force ghosts that grants their hosts PowersViaPossession, much like Nihilus.
* ElementalAbsorption: In addition to controlling all of the elements, the Maidens are also able to absorb any elemental attack and fuel their magic with it.
* ElementalPowers: Each Maiden has control over all the elements, including wind, fire, and electricity.
* FireballEyeballs: Whenever a Maiden uses their powers, their eyes are alight with flames.
* {{Foil}}: To Darth Nihilus. Like Nihilus, they are Force ghosts who grant supernatural powers to their hosts. However, while Nihilus has control over his hosts' bodies, the Maidens are controlled by their hosts.
* LegacyCharacter
* MacGuffinSuperPerson: Various parties throughout history have tried to gain control over the Maidens and their elemental magic. The reason that Cinder attacked Amber and is trying to destroy Beacon is all because she wants the Fall Maiden's powers for herself. [[spoiler:Once Darth Nihilus revives himself, he also becomes interested in the Maidens and starts hunting them down with the intention of draining their magic.]]
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Unlike regular Force ghosts, who control their host's bodies, the Maidens are each controlled by their hosts.
* PowersViaPossession: They grant their hosts ElementalPowers by possessing their bodies.
* WrongContextMagic: While sufficiently powerful Force ghosts are able to empower their hosts with the Force, the spirit is often the one in control over the body. The Maidens break the mold of typical Force ghosts by having the hosts control not just their bodies, but bend the will of the spirits as well.

->''"Excuse me, do you need any assistance?"''
A store clerk who works at Adel Attire, a high-end fashion shop in Vale's commercial district.
----
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Jaune senses through the Force that behind the clerk's friendly face is a classist who looks down on Jaune as a random commoner.
* FightingFromTheInside: When Jaune unknowingly uses a mind trick to get him and his friends a discount, the clerk is visibly trying to resist the mental command, freezing up until Jaune unknowingly increases the pressure of the Force, causing him to cave in.

!!!'''Species:''' Remnantian
!!!'''Debut:''' Nihilus
A young woman who was working as a waitress at one of the Vytal Festival's fairgrounds. [[spoiler:She was present when Nihilus took over Jaune's body and hid behind one of the festival's stalls during Nihilus's rampage. She attempts to flee when Nihilus forces an airship to crash into Beacon, only for Qrow's Semblance to cause her to slip, forcing the Huntsman to sacrifice himself and use his body to shield hers.]]
----
* DramaticSlip: While fleeing from a [[spoiler:crashing airship]], she slips on a random piece of viscera and struggles to get back up. Justified since [[spoiler:Qrow's Semblance is implied to be responsible for causing her to slip.]]
* FlatCharacter: The only thing really known about her is her job as a waitress.
* InnocentBystander: A completely innocent civilian who was working as a waitress at the Vytal Festival's fairgrounds and did not sign up for the terror that Nihilus unleashes upon Beacon.
* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:Dies offscreen after the explosion from the airship instantly snaps her neck. Ironwood finds her corpse next to a dying Qrow in "Death".]]
* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:The explosion from Ironwood's airship twisted her neck, killing her instantly.]]
* NoNameGiven: She's never given a name.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:Only appears in two scenes, but is indirectly responsible for Qrow dying (through no fault of her own).

!!!'''Debut:''' Death
A colonel in the Atlesian military and Ironwood's operational second-in-command. During the Battle of Beacon, he takes charge of the forces left to defend Vale.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', Doyle was an incompetent leader who lacked any military experience. This version is a skilled tactician capable of coordinating an army in a multifront battle. In addition, the fact that Ironwood trusts him enough to leave him in charge of Vale's defenses indicates that Doyle actually earned his rank of colonel based on his own merits rather than gaining it through succession like his ''[=RvB=]'' counterpart.
* AdaptationalJobChange: This version of Doyle is a colonel instead of a general like his ''Red vs. Blue'' counterpart.
* TheFaceless: When he's introduced, his face is covered by a fully-sealed helmet.
* InNameOnly: He bears little-to-no resemblance to his canon counterpart aside from sharing the same name.
* NumberTwo: He is Ironwood's second-in-command of the Atlesian military's general infantry and drone units.
* ShoutOut: To the character of the same name from ''Red vs. Blue''.

Here, they're mentioned to be overprotective helicopter parents who Jaune resorted to running away from in order to attend Beacon.
* AdultFear: Imagine waking up one day to find that your teenage son has suddenly gone missing with no way of knowing where or why he has disappeared. Then you go ''months'' with no clue as to what happened to him until [[spoiler:one day, while watching the TV, you see live footage of your missing son committing mass murder.]]
* HappilyMarried: They've had eight kids and continue to have a solid marriage. Their love for each other hasn't waned either, if Jaune's comments in "Dance" are to be believed.

!!Temple of Shadows
[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sithassassin.png]]
[[caption-width-right:280:One of the Temple's shadow monks.]]
!!!'''Debut:''' Legends
->''"They were a group of 'shadow monks', so to speak. A death cult that worshipped the Brother of Darkness, from the religion of the Two Brothers. They saw death and destruction as the perfect way to honor their dark god, and would hire themselves out as mercenaries and assassins, doing all sorts of evil deeds."''
-->-- '''Store clerk''', "Dance"
\\
A Valean death cult that was active around the time of the Great War. They were once part of the Church of the Two Brothers until one of their monks [[spoiler:discovered the [[EvilMask Mask of Nihilus]] after scavenging it from a "falling star". Believing the mask to be a gift from the heavens, they broke off from the Church and formed a CargoCult surrounding the mask. Nihilus corrupted the cult to the Dark Side and converted them into his personal assassins.]] Renaming themselves the "Temple of Shadows", the Temple carried out countless contract killings during the Great War, as well as sacrificing hundreds of innocent people to their dark god.
\\\
Eventually, word of their crimes reached King Osmund of Vale, who branded the group as heretics and sent his army to wipe them out. Despite the total destruction of the cult, their feared reputation would inspire several fashion designers to create Huntsmen outfits based on the robes worn by the Temple's assassins.
----
* BadassArmy: They're an army of assassins capable of going toe-to-toe with Vale's military during the Great War.
* CargoCult: [[spoiler:They started out worshipping Nihilus's mask because they assumed it was a gift from the Brother Gods.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: They are first mentioned in "Dance" by a clerk at the clothing store where Jaune buys his new Huntsman outfit. They later make a proper appearance in "Legends", where it's revealed that they were [[spoiler:founded by Nihilus shortly after his mask was dumped on Remnant.]]
* ChildSoldiers: While storming their monastery, Alixandre is disheartened to see that some of their assassins were just children.
* CombatPragmatist: Being assassins, they never fight fairly and prefer to ambush their opponents when they're tired or distracted.
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: They are an evil expy of the Jedi Order. Like the Jedi, they're a religious order of monks who train in combat, initially used supernatural abilities to protect the weak against the darkness, indoctrinate children, and have their leaders going by the rank of "Grand Master". Much like how the Jedi were wiped out by the Clone Army at the end of the Clone Wars, the Temple was also eradicated by Vale's military at the end of the Great War. However, the Temple of Shadows is a death cult that performed human sacrifices, used their abilities to carry out high-profile assassinations, and worshipped the God of Darkness rather than serve the Light Side like the Jedi did. [[spoiler:Knowing Nihilus, this may have been [[EvilKnockoff intentional]].]]
* {{Cult}}: They have all the markings of one. Their followers are kept isolated from mainstream society, their entire lives revolve around worshipping the God of Darkness ([[spoiler:actually the Mask of Darth Nihilus]]), and they regularly sacrifice humans in the name of their dark god.
* DarkIsEvil: They call themselves the Temple of ''Shadows'', worship the Brother of Darkness, and dress in black robed outfits.
* EliteArmy: Downplayed. While the numerically-superior army of Vale eventually succeeds in wiping out the much smaller cult, each assassin is so skilled and dangerous that for every cult member killed, a dozen Valean soldiers die in the effort.
* EliteMook: Their assassins were a cut above the average Valean soldier and for every assassin Vale's army killed, a dozen Valean soldiers would die in the process.
* FaceHeelTurn: They were once a noble order of monks devoted to protecting the weak and spreading the message of their church. [[spoiler:The Mask of Nihilus gradually corrupted them into his own personal cult of assassins.]]
* FamedInStory: By the modern-day, they're remembered as one of the most feared assassins' guilds in history. Some clothing stores even sell replicas of their assassin's garb to huntsmen.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Before being exposed to the Dark Side's corrupting influence, they were a minor religious sect whose sphere of influence was limited to a few isolated villages along Vale's eastern mountains. Skip to decades later, and they've become a death cult with a body count likely in the hundreds (if not thousands) and have garnered a reputation as the number one assassin guild in all of Remnant.
* TheHeretic: They were once part of the Church of the Two Brothers until they were corrupted by the Dark Side and abandoned the church in favor of starting a death cult that solely worshipped the God of Darkness.
* HitAndRunTactics: When Vale's army stormed their monastery, the Temple's monks would make use of hit-and-run tactics, waiting for Vale's soldiers to let their guard down before suddenly swooping in to kill them before vanishing.
* HumanSacrifice: They sacrificed countless victims to the God of Darkness. [[spoiler:In reality, they were being duped by Nihilus, who needed a steady supply of living people for his mask to consume.]]
* KillEmAll: Every member of the cult is killed by Vale's army after they storm their hideout.
* LastStand
* MurderInc: Became an assassin guild that offered contracts to both sides during the Great War.
* {{Ninja}}: They're a secretive group of warriors who wear black clothing, use swift movements and stealth in combat, and carry out assassinations for money.
* PosthumousCharacter: All of them have been dead for nearly eighty years by present day.
* PragmaticVillainy: They took up work as assassins primarily because they needed more people to sacrifice [[spoiler:to Nihilus's mask]] without drawing suspicion. They decided that if they were going to kill a lot of people, they may as well get paid for it.
* ProfessionalKillers: They would carry out contract killings on politicians, military leaders, and the wealthy elite during the Great War.
* PsychoForHire
* ReligionOfEvil: They explicitly worship the God of Darkness, kidnap random travelers to sacrifice to their Dark God, and preach spreading death and destruction in their deity's name.
* RenegadeSplinterFaction: They were formerly part of the Church of the Two Brothers until some of their monks switched over to solely worshipping the God of Darkness and broke off to form their own cult.
* TempleOfDoom: Their SupervillainLair is a monastery is filled with booby traps designed to kill any unwanted intruders. These include poison darts, spike pits, pressure plates and razor wire.
* TykeBomb: Some of their assassins were raised as children to kill for them.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:To Nihilus's Force ghost, who tricks them into thinking that he's the God of Darkness and uses their practice of sacrificing humans to search for a Force-sensitive to possess.]]
* WarriorMonk: They started out as a sect of monks who offered guidance and refuge for travelers and were trained to fight off the Grimm.

!!!'''Species:''' Remnantian
!!!'''Debut:''' Legends
->''"So, the Warrior-King Osmund has finally grown tired of our presence. Come child. Gather your brothers and sisters, and we shall honor our Lord by dying well."''
\\
The Grand Master of the Temple of Shadows, a death cult that worshipped the God of Darkness. He was once a humble monk from the Church of the Two Brothers until one day, when he came across a strange artifact while investigating the crash site of a "falling star". [[spoiler:After being corrupted by Nihilus, he gradually took over his sect of the Church and transformed it into a death cult centered around the worship of Nihilus's mask.]]
----
* BadassLongRobe: He dresses in a black robes and is a master assassin.
* BlackCloak: He wears black robes which make him look menacing and mysterious.
* DragonInChief: [[spoiler:Darth Nihilus's mask is the one really controlling the cult, but he relies on Petros to carry out his orders and allows Petros to run his cult however he sees fit.]]
* EvilLaugh: Starts cackling while facing off against Alixandre.
* EvilOldFolks: Doesn't let his old age stop him from leading an assassin death cult.
* EvilMakesYouUgly: While under the Dark Side's influence, Petros's eyes turn yellow, his skin becomes wrinkled and pale, and his teeth turn rotted.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: While facing off against Alixandre, Petros speaks in a raspy voice. Justified since Petros was a decrepit old man by that point and his vocal chords had likely worn down with age.
* {{Expy}}: He's basically an elderly Tyrian Callows reimagined as a cult leader, being a highly religious assassin that reveres the BigBad as a god and gleefully slaughters innocent people in their master's name.
* FaceHeelTurn: Was once a peaceful monk devoted to protecting and guiding the weak. [[spoiler:Under Nihilus's influence, he turns into a violent cult leader and a master assassin devoted to sacrificing innocent people to sate Nihilus's hunger.]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare: He was just some random monk before [[spoiler:Nihilus's mask]] corrupted him into a master assassin and cult leader.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Alixandre Arc kills him by running him through with Crocea Mors.
* IronicName: Petros is the Greek version of the name Peter, which means stone/rock. He gets killed by a guy who has [[DishingOutDirt Geokinesis]] as his Semblance.
* KilledOffscreen: His death is never shown onscreen and the reader only sees its prelude and aftermath. Right as Petros is about to fight Alixandre, the story uses a ChargeIntoCombatCut to transition to the next scene which shows an exhausted Alixandre standing triumphantly over Petros's eviscerated corpse.
* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: He takes advantage of the Great War by offering his assassins' services to both sides, creating a lot of wealth for his cult and providing a lot of victims to sacrifice to his god.
* MeaningfulName: "Petros" is the Greek version of the name "Peter" and originates from the Greek translation of [[Literature/TheBible the Bible]]. In the Bible, Peter was the most prominent of Jesus' twelve disciples and became the first pope of the Catholic Church following Christ's death. Like Peter, [[spoiler:Petros was Nihilus's first worshipper on Remnant and he too would eventually become the leader of a religious sect devoted to following Nihilus's teachings.]]
* MouthOfSauron: For the God of Darkness, who communicates to Petros through the Temple's artifact. [[spoiler:In reality, it's Darth Nihilus's soul.]]
* NotAfraidToDie: When Vale's army attacks his stronghold, rather than flee, he chooses to stay behind for a LastStand. When he's finally corned by Vale's soldiers, he shows no fear of dying and instead welcomes a good fight.
* OddNameOut: His name doesn't follow the Color Rule of the setting. Justified since he lived before the Great War.
* OldMaster: By the time he's an old man, he's no longer an active assassin but spends his time training the next generation.
* OriginalCharacter: Was created solely for this fanfic.
* ScaryTeeth: His teeth become completely rotted under the Dark Side's influence.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: By the time he's an old man, he sports yellow eyes indicating that he's fallen under the influence to the Dark Side.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:To Darth Nihilus, to the point where he was willing to sacrifice his life in Nihilus's name when Vale's army attacked the Temple.]]
* {{Unperson}}: Alix is so disgusted by Krizoz's crimes that he personally ensures that there are no records left of his existence.
* WarriorMonk: Was one in his youth.
* WeakButSkilled: He lacks any Force-sensitivity, [[spoiler:making Nihilus unable to possess him]]. However, his skills as an assassin are second-to-none. Under his leadership, the Temple of Shadows went from being a minor religious sect to the most feared assassin guild in all of Remnant.

* GreaterScopeParagon: Though he never appears in "Legends", General Alixandre answers to him and he was the one who gave the order to have Vale's army wipe out the Temple of Shadows.
* MeaningfulName: Osmund is a Germanic name meaning "divine protector".
* NamedByTheAdaptation: His name is "Osmund", while in canon he is unnamed.

!!!'''Species:''' Remnantian
!!!'''Debut:''' Legends
A Valean general who fought in the Great War and Jaune's great-great-grandfather. He led Vale's army and was responsible for eradicating the Temple of Shadows under King Osmund's orders.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''A'''lixandre '''A'''rc.
* CallToAgriculture: After the Great War ended, he moved to the countryside and retired to a quiet life as a farmer.
* ChekhovsGunman: In "Dreams", Jaune mentions how his sword originally belonged to his great-great-grandfather, who used it to fight in the Great War. In "Legends", it turns out that Jaune's ancestor was the one responsible for wiping out the Temple of Shadows [[spoiler:and sealing away the Mask of Darth Nihilus in the cave where Jaune found it.]]
* CoolSword: He was the original owner of Crocea Mors and used it in battle during the Great War.
* DishingOutDirt: His Semblance, Geokinesis, allows him to control the earth by stomping his foot on the ground. [[spoiler:He uses it to create a cave in the cliffside and seals Nihilus's mask inside.]]
* {{Foil}}: To the canon version of General Ironwood. Like Ironwood, Alixandre is the leading general of a kingdom's military who served one of Ozma's incarnations. Whereas canon!Ironwood believed that [[ItsAllAboutMe only he]] [[HolierThanThou knew best]] and was partially driven by the [[SecretlySelfish desire to be proven right]], Alixandre remained a HumbleHero who put the needs of his kingdom ahead of his own. While Ironwood often questioned Ozpin's decisions, Alixandre remained [[UndyingLoyalty unquestioningly loyal]] to the very end. Canon!Ironwood is incapable of accepting any responsibility for when things go wrong and constantly feels the need to [[NeverMyFault blame someone else]]. When Alixandre was nearly manipulated by Nihilus, he [[ItsAllMyFault blamed himself]] for falling for Nihilus's lies and had a MyGodWhatHaveIDone reaction to nearly putting on Nihilus's mask. The way they acted when pressured by the BigBad also differs significantly. When Salem preyed on Ironwood's fear of her in the penultimate episode of Volume 7, he wound up turning on Ozpin and went completely off the deep end. When Nihilus tried to manipulate Alix by taking advantage of his buried resentment towards Osmund, Alix managed to resist Nihilus's influence and put the wellbeing of his kingdom above his own petty desires. This is also reflected in their choice of weapons. Alixandre uses a sword and shield (close-range weapons) while Ironwood used a pair of pistols (long-range weapons).
* FourStarBadass: A skilled warrior who holds the rank of general and has the skill to back it up.
* FrontlineGeneral: Fights on the front line alongside his troops.
* GenreBlind: [[spoiler:After resisting Nihilus's influence and sealing the mask inside a cave, he decides to forget all about it, thinking that no one will ever manage to find Nihilus's mask.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: While he is a noble and courageous man, he shows little mercy to those that dare to threaten the people of Vale, as shown with how he wiped out all traces of the Temple of Shadows and showed no quarter (even to the Temple's {{Child Soldier}}s).
* GreaterScopeParagon: Alixandre was one of Jaune's main inspirations for wanting to become a hero, having grown up being told stories of Alix's exploits during the Great War by his parents. He's also the one who destroyed the Temple of Shadows and [[spoiler:originally sealed Nihilus's mask inside the cavern that Jaune stumbles into at the start of the story.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He's the heroic and selfless general of Vale's army whose had many adventures while fighting in the Great War. His victory over the Temple of Shadows is one of many legendary feats he accomplished over the course of his life.
* HeroicWillpower: [[spoiler:Was able to resist Nihilus's corruption at the last second through his strong morals and deep loyalty to his kingdom.]]
* HiddenDepths: Despite presenting himself as a HumbleHero, a small part of Alix was resentful towards Osmund for disbanding the military and felt that he deserved more for his lifelong service in the army.
* HumbleHero: When he was offered a parade to escort him home, he turned it down and considered loyalty to be its own reward.
* IdealHero: Selfless, noble, humble, kind-hearted, and devoted to doing the right thing no matter what. He checks off many of the qualifications.
* KnightInShiningArmor: He's the archetypal noble warrior who dresses in armor and champions the weak against evil forces like the Temple.
* MeaningfulName: Alixandre is the French form for the Greek name "Alexander", which roughly means "defender of man".
* NamedByTheAdaptation: In canon, Jaune's great-great-grandfather is only mentioned once and isn't even named. In this fic, he's given the name Alixandre.
* OddNameOut: His name doesn't follow the "color naming rule" of ''RWBY''. Justified since he's living in a time period that took place before that rule was established.
* OCStandIn: While Jaune has mentioned his great-great-grandfather in canon, the only thing known about him was that he previously owned Crocea Mors and fought in the Great War. Here, he's portrayed as a paragon of justice who led Vale's army during the Great War and showed UndyingLoyalty to Vale's king.
* PosthumousCharacter: He's likely been dead for decades by present day.
* PrecursorHero: He was a noble Valean general who fought during the Great War and was deeply loyal to Ozma's incarnation as the King of Vale. He was responsible for wiping out a cult of assassins that worshipped the God of Darkness and [[spoiler:imprisoned Nihilus's mask inside a cave after resisting Nihilus's influence over his mind.]]
* TheResenter: A part of him was resentful towards Osmund for disbanding Vale's military, believing that he deserved to be given some kind of reward for his loyalty and feeling like he was being discarded now that he was no longer needed. [[spoiler:The Mask of Nihilus preyed on this resentment and used Alix's feelings of being unappreciated to try and convince him to overthrow Vale's newly democratic government and install his own military dictatorship. Luckily, Alix manages to break free from Nihilus's control through his own HeroicWillpower.]]
* RetiredBadass: Once the Great War is over, Alixandre steps down as general and retires to a quiet life in Ansel, where he spends the rest of his days raising his son and tending to his family's farm.
* ScarredEquipment: He keeps the battle damage on his armor because he considered it a source of pride and a symbol of his experience.
* WouldHurtAChild: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Alixandre is saddened upon discovering that some of the Temple's cultists he's killing are children, but he doesn't let that stop him from carrying out his orders to execute all of the Temple's assassins.

A pair of Celestials worshipped as gods by the humans of Remnant. They were responsible for creating the humans native to Remnant as well as cursing Ozpin with reincarnation.
----
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: They go from being actual deities to Celestials.
* AllThereInTheManual: Much of what is known about them, from their nature as Celestials to being the creators of the terentatek, comes from the author's AN or in his written responses to reviewers.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: For all of Nihilus's vast power, even at full strength he can't compare to the Celestials, which includes the Brother Gods. [[spoiler:During the final battle, a single blast from Ruby's Silver Eyes instantly downs him. Considering that the Silver Eyes were gifted to humanity by the God of Light, it's safe to say that a confrontation between the God of Light and Nihilus would have likely been even more one-sided.]]
* ForScience: Being the Celestials' equivalent of scientists, much of their actions and motivations stem from this. They created all life on Remnant -- including a new subspecies of humanity and the Grimm -- as part of an unknown experiment. Likewise, part of the reason they brought back a new iteration of humanity, as well as curse Ozma and Salem with immortality, was because they wanted to see whether a species is capable of surviving without having a direct connection to the Force.
* TheGhost: Are only mentioned thus far.
* GreaterScopeVillain: The God of Darkness created the terentatek which attacked Jaune in Forever Fall as part of his experiments. He was also worshipped by the Temple of Shadows and [[spoiler:Nihilus impersonated him in order to get the Temple to do his bidding.]]

* TheMaker: They are responsible for creating all life on Remnant, including humanity and the Grimm. It's also implied that they even created the solar system Remnant is located in.
* MakerOfMonsters: The God of Darkness created the Grimm, as well as [[spoiler:a collection of Dark Side creatures like the terentatek.]]
* NotMeThisTime: Ozpin suspects their involvement with Jaune's powers since Jaune's possession almost seems like a combination of his and Salem's backstories.
* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: This fic retcons them as being Celestials, a race of aliens who built the ''Star Wars'' galaxy in the ''Legends'' continuity and are so powerful in the Force that they might as well be {{Physical God}}s.
* WorldsStrongestMan: They are bar none the most powerful characters in the setting. Even Nihilus at his full strength is no match for them.

[[folder:The Maidens]]
A group of four extremely powerful Force spirits who grant their hosts control over the elements of nature.
----
* AdaptationalOriginConnection: This fic's version of the Maidens have their origins altered so they are powerful Force ghosts that grants their hosts PowersViaPossession, much like Nihilus.
* ElementalAbsorption: In addition to controlling all of the elements, the Maidens are also able to absorb any elemental attack and fuel their magic with it.
* ElementalPowers: Each Maiden has control over all the elements, including wind, fire, and electricity.
* FireballEyeballs: Whenever a Maiden uses their powers, their eyes are alight with flames.
* {{Foil}}: To Darth Nihilus. Like Nihilus, they are Force ghosts who grant supernatural powers to their hosts. However, while Nihilus has control over his hosts' bodies, the Maidens are controlled by their hosts.
* LegacyCharacter
* MacGuffinSuperPerson: Various parties throughout history have tried to gain control over the Maidens and their elemental magic. The reason that Cinder attacked Amber and is trying to destroy Beacon is all because she wants the Fall Maiden's powers for herself. [[spoiler:Once Darth Nihilus revives himself, he also becomes interested in the Maidens and starts hunting them down with the intention of draining their magic.]]
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Unlike regular Force ghosts, who control their host's bodies, the Maidens are each controlled by their hosts.
* PowersViaPossession: They grant their hosts ElementalPowers by possessing their bodies.
* WrongContextMagic: While sufficiently powerful Force ghosts are able to empower their hosts with the Force, the spirit is often the one in control over the body. The Maidens break the mold of typical Force ghosts by having the hosts control not just their bodies, but bend the will of the spirits as well.
