[[folder:Yemmod]]
!!Yemmod Storm-Crowned

Yemmod was a Demiurge during the Universal War and a powerful general and warrior. He besieged the Blue City of Lam, and lay waste to the world of Rayuba. He would later die at the hands of a survivor of Rayuba, the Ki Rata master Solomon David, who took his Magus Key for his own and became a Demiurge.

* TheConqueror: From what is told of him, he was a prolific (and extremely brutal) general in the early stages of the Universal War and destroyed the realms of several other Demiurges.
* BladeOnAStick: He wielded a spear called Amija, or heart-piercer, which could pierce any wall. Solomon David is seen wielding it in one panel, implying he took it off Yemmod's corpse.
* GenocideBackfire: He conquered Rayuba, tore it down brick by brick, shattered and enslaved its people and even destroyed its sun for good measure. A survivor of that slaughter eventually tracked him down and killed him.
* PredecessorVillain: Much as Mottom's backstory was defined by Hastet Om, Solomon David's backstory is defined by Yemmod and what he did to him.
* RapePillageAndBurn: His ''modus operandi'', having destroyed both Lam and Rayuba in an extremely brutal and final fashion.
-->Yemmod said, “For every man of age to fight, hack off his right hand,” and it was done. “And his sons too,” and it was done. Then the hands were set in a pile, like pale driftwood, and the people could see his cruelty.
* RedIsViolent: Both him and his armies were prominently decked in red, in contrast to the purple used by the Rayubans (and Solomon David).

[[folder:Jantris]]
!!Jantris Storm-Crowned

Jantris was a Demiurge during the Universal War. He was a concordant of the highest chamber of demiurges and the master of a fortress called Gamion.

* AllForNothing: He ravaged a hundred worlds and slaughtered millions, but nothing he did would prevent what he dreaded most, his eventual death.
* AmbitionIsEvil: A quote from him says that "Nothing but total victory will suffice."
* TheConqueror: He brought ruin to one hundred worlds.
* EvilMakesYouUgly: Close to his end, he was decayed and skeletal, presumably due to the methods he used to keep himself alive.
* ImmortalityImmorality: He attempted to delay his death at all costs, keeping himself alive using blood alchemy on virgin sacrifices.
* KarmicDeath: He was brought to his end by Jagganoth in {{Revenge}} for the countless mothers he massacred, [[TheDogBitesBack including Jagganoth's own]]. Jagganoth pretty much says that he brought it on himself.
* PredecessorVillain: A long dead man responsible for turning Jagganoth into what he is today.
* ThereCanOnlyBeOne: While Jantris was appointed to his position, he also managed to claim ten thousand keys by killing his fellow demiurges.

Allison's boyfriend, kidnapped by strange monsters that appeared in Allison's bedroom.
----
* CharacterDevelopment: Zig-zagged. At best, it's off-screen development. When first shown, he's trying to have sex with a nervous, 20-something virgin. This and since he's only shown in one scene means most of his characterization comes from what Allison and others say about him. It isn't until he reappears in Book 4 that he's shown as more stoic and thoughtful, with his time as Solomon David's captive bringing him some maturity and thoughtfulness. [[spoiler:After the three-year TimeSkip in ''Breaker of Infinities'' following the Discordance, Zaid has undergone martial arts training and is willing to risk capture or death to rescue Allison from Jadis.]]
* TheChosenOne: Supposedly chosen to be the Successor to the Conquering King Zoss, who in turn was the successor of YISUN. [[spoiler: Later subverted: Zoss has been selecting Successors for eons and resetting the entire multiverse when they each fail by repeating the same violent bloody path to Throne that he did. Zaid is heavily implied to have been chosen as Successor immediately prior to Allison, and he failed to break the cycle just like every other prior Succesor.]]
* DistressedDude: Kidnapped and held unconscious by the Seven--after her initial, forced trip to Throne, Allison returns to attempt to rescue him. Allison doesn't even particularly like Zaid and finds him kind of a creep, but she's not about to leave him to an uncertain fate in an unknown and dangerous multiverse. [[spoiler:He tries to repay the favor to Allison in ''Breaker of Infinities'' by springing her from Jadis, though Allison isn't as much a Damsel in Distress as he seems to believe she is--however, his MeaningfulEcho of the words she once spoke to him wind up helping her more than she realized she needed.]]
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: After the post-''Seeker of Thrones'' timeskip and becoming OlderAndWiser, Zaid has longer hair and stubble, and a second time after the ''Breaker of Infinities'' timeskip.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He's the chosen Successor of Zoss, but spent years offscreen at the court of Solomon David, and after a brief reunion with the main cast in ''King of Swords'', [[spoiler:spent the three years following the Concordance developing martial prowess.]]
* HostageMacGuffin: He's first abducted by the Angels, but then he's stolen from them by the Seven. Everyone believes he is the heir of the Conquering King, so everyone wants to keep possession of him. For her part, Allison just wants to rescue him. This drives the plot forward, since his being held hostage brings Allison back from her home universe.
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: All that being TheChosenOne brings him is getting kidnapped by JerkassGods, forced to live in the HellOfAHeaven that is Throne, exploited as a pawn in a cosmic-scale conspiracy, and generally traumatized. Made worse by the fact that [[spoiler: it's heavily implied he ''was'' TheChosenOne... and failed like every Successor prior to him, necessitating Zoss resetting the cycle.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Allison's friends hate his guts, the story opens with him pressuring Allison into having sex, even when she's clearly uncomfortable (Allison is also trying to pressure ''herself'' into having sex, but it's incredibly obvious she's not into it despite what she's saying, which someone with a speck of emotional intelligence would notice), and Allison herself admits he's kind of a creep later on. When we finally see him in person again during ''King of Swords'', however, [[OlderAndWiser he seems to have done a lot of growing up in the interim]], and [[PetTheDog expresses obvious worry for Allison's safety]].
* MissedTheCall: It is presumed that Zoss intended ''him'' as [[TheChosenOne the Successor]], but Zoss was forced to pick Allison instead due to Juggernaut Star's meddling. [[spoiler: This is later implied to be inverted; he was the Successor immediately prior to Allison, and failed like all of Zoss's prior choices.]]
* OlderAndWiser: When he appears again in ''King of Swords'' he's been in the custody of the Seven (specifically, Solomon David) for about two years or so; the experience has clearly left him a good deal more mature and thoughtful than the sleazeball college bro he was at the start of the story. [[spoiler:The events of ''Breaker of Infinities'' drive this home further, as he's able to have a frank but thoughtful heart-to-heart with a despairing Allison that ultimately reignites her will to move forward after Jadis all but crushes her spirit.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: At first. He's only been briefly seen following his kidnapping, and asleep at that. But bringing him back home is Allison's primary motivation, and most of the major players in the story assume that he is TheChosenOne. He finally gets a speaking role again in ''King of Swords'', where he is revealed to have been taken in as Solomon David's ward, and [[spoiler:his appearance in Jadis' domain to try and rescue Allison kickstarts the climax of ''Breaker of Infinities''.]]

[[folder:Au Vam]]
!!Au Vam, Pankrator of Kesh

->''"A true sovereign need not flex a single muscle in his body, and a hundred men die. A true sovereign may murder without a single impulse, or even intent, sight, breath, or even thought of his murder."''

Au Vam was a demiurge, possibly one of the originals who got their power directly from Zoss. He ruled the Yellow City of Vesh until they both were destroyed in the Universal War. Amongst his titles was that of Pankrator of the Middle Army, the Army that trained Meti, was later commanded by Maya, and is currently the possession of Incubus. Wrote a highly regarded book called "Fifteen Ways of Ruling" which is commonly quoted in the comic.

* ModestRoyalty: Encouraged this in "Fifteen Ways of Ruling".
-->"Do not surround yourself with splendor. Spend your treasury sparingly. Stock the halls of your holdfast with sturdy and plain men, and do not adorn your walls. Abhor gold. If you sit next to the sun too long, you’re likely to go blind."
* NiceToTheWaiter: Encouraged kings to keep scores of exotic and rare flowers as an exception to the above rule, because the state of a king's flowers would be an indicator of how well the servants were taking care of them (and hence how devoted they were to their job, and to their king).
* PosthumousCharacter: Died alongside his city in the Universal War.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Yemmod]]
!!Yemmod Storm-Crowned

Yemmod was a Demiurge during the Universal War and a powerful general and warrior. He besieged the Blue City of Lam, and lay waste to the world of Rayuba. He would later die at the hands of a survivor of Rayuba, the Ki Rata master Solomon David, who took his Magus Key for his own and became a Demiurge.
----

* BigBookOfWar: "Fifteen Ways of Ruling" appears to have been this, only about ruling rather than war.
* GenreSavvy: Was an adherent of the EvilOverlordList, in particular rule #12, which is noted to "allowed him to win most of his battles".
* GodEmperor: Of the Yellow City, being both its ruler and a Demiurge. One of his known titles was "King of Kings".
* TheGoodKing: Going by his writings he certainly seems to have been a better one than the surviving seven, for certain.

[[folder:Hastet Om '''(Spoiler Character for "Wielder of Names")''']]
!!Hastet Om

An ancient demiurge who was known for keeping an enormous number of wives, including Nadia Om, AKA Mottom of the Seven. Currently deceased. Note: Moving this to the Demiurges page.

* DomesticAbuse: In life, he was monstrously abusive to his RoyalHarem on top of being a serial rapist who took and forced himself on any young woman that caught his fancy, Nadia Om included. Eventually, Nadia grew sick of the abuse and murdered him, but that only turned him into the Tree of Woe, forcing Nadia to supply him with more "wives" for im to feed on. Even while paying tribute to his tomb, Nadia absolutely has no love for him and only does so to give Allison some background on her life. Nadia and Allison pass by statues of several women that look horrifically disfigured and stained with blood, giving further implications to how far the abuse went.
* HateSink: Hastet Om was a monstrous demiurge and tyrant who presided over a very DecadentCourt, an [[DomesticAbuse equally monstrous husband]] to his many wives within his RoyalHarem, and a prolific serial rapist with a huge appetite for young women. One of his wives, Nadia Om, who would become Mottom of the Seven, was so disgusted by what he was doing to his wives that she murdered Hastet and took his Key from him. However, even in death, he would continue tormenting Nadia from beyond the grave as the Tree of Woe, making him directly responsible for the death of countless young women as Nadia is forced to satisfy his appetite for "more wives". He finally meets his end for good at the hands of Allison when she sets the Tree of Woe on fire, breaking the cycle of abuse and leaving Nadia free to do what she wanted.
* ImAHumanitarian: In death, he became the Tree of Woe, a corpse-like plant (or perhaps a plant-like corpse) that must constantly feed on the blood of his wives to sustain itself.
* KarmicDeath: Both times, Hastet Om's deaths came about at the hands of a woman. The first time, Nadia killed him to end the abuse he was inflicting on his many wives, and was hailed as a heroine for it... except his appetite for women is so great that instead of dying, he turns into the Tree of Woe. The second time, Allison ends Hastet Om permanently by setting the Tree of Woe on fire, freeing Nadia and saving countless more women from being taken from their homes and sacrificed to him.
* MonsterFromBeyondTheVeil: When Nadia killed him and buried his corpse in the palace gardens, she thought that would be the end of it, and went to sleep for three days. Then on the third day, she discovered to her horror that Hastet Om had turned into a monstrous tree, pleading for more wives...
* NothingIsScarier: It's never exactly stated ''what'' he did to his wives as he became more "sadistic and monstrous". But Mottom's description of his behavior is juxtaposed with a statue of a woman seemingly in prayer, but [[{{Fingore}} missing several fingers]], an [[EyeScream eye]], and her nose. Also the statue itself [[AndIMustScream appears to be stained with blood leaking out of its eyes, nose and mouth...]]
* PosthumousCharacter: By the time he's introduced by Mottom, he's long dead, having been killed by Mottom herself to end his abusive treatment of his wives. However, he continued menacing Mottom as the Tree of Woe that feeds on the blood of young women, and the DecadentCourt he once ruled over would be inherited by Mottom, forcing her to rule and whet the depraved appetites of both parties. He finally dies for good when Allison torches the Tree of Woe, ending the cycle of abuse and suffering.
* PredecessorVillain: Without Hastet Om there would have been no Mottom, for better or worse. And without Hastet's fruit, Mottom could not sustain her eternal youth.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: While Om was far from the only person in the multiverse to engage in sex slavery, the way he treated his wives was was so ghastly and despicable even by [[EvenEvilHasStandards Throne's metric]] that ''nobody'' missed him after his death and Nadia was hailed as a hero for murdering him.
* RoyalHarem: Even by the standards of Throne his appetite for women was rather extraordinary, causing him to take countless wives. And his desire for women did not end with his death, as he feeds upon them constantly in his current form as the Tree of Woe.
* {{Youkai}}: Downplayed, but as the Tree of Woe, he resembles the Jubokko, a bloodthirsty tree.

[[folder:Intra]]
!!Lord Intra

->''"I will tell you precisely what Royalty is. It is a continuous cutting motion."''

Known as the "Sword-Saint", "King of Swords" and "Sword God", Intra was a MasterSwordsman who lived during the opening stages of the Infinite War and is known to have obtained Royalty through his mastery of the sword. Possibly the only other sword-wielder in the universe who could have given Meti a run for her money, his quotations on battle and sword usage are used in TheRant of the comic in several places.
----

An ancient demiurge who was known for keeping an enormous number of wives, including Nadia Om, AKA Mottom of the Seven. Currently deceased.

* AndIMustScream: Well, he ''does'' still have a mouth, but he uses it exclusively to consume the blood of his wives, or to demand more wives to consume. However he's literally rooted to the place where he was buried, and seems to have been consumed by his desire.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Although covered by the veneer of legitimacy afforded by marriage, Hastet was essentially a prolific serial rapist whose appetites only became more depraved and sadistic as time went on.
* AssholeVictim: He was such a monstrously abusive husband to his wives that one of them, Nadia Om, killed him to end his abuse, plucked his Key from his head before burying his corpse in the palace gardens, then [[PostVictoryCollapse fell asleep for three long days]]. Hastet's subjects apparently hailed Nadia hailed as a heroine for this, and her deed immortalized in the form of a statue hanging over the entrance of her palace. Unfortunately, Hastet's corpse turned into the Tree of Woe that sprouted immortality-inducing peaches in exchange for drinking the blood of young virgin women, ensuring Nadia would ''never'' be freed of his abusive influence... until Allison comes along and ends Hastet's life for good by burning the Tree of Woe.
* DecadentCourt: Mottom inherited this from Hastet, although it's implied it was actually ''worse'' under Hastet's rule.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: After he "sprouted" in death, the trunk of the Tree of Woe emerged from where his lower abdomen and groin once were, and his branches appear to produce the fruit that Mottom uses to sustain her youth -- literally feeding on the fruit of his loins. The fact that that he's fed constantly by the blood of beautiful virgin women only makes the imagery more apt.

* BaldWoman: She is briefly shown traveling with Maya and Incubus, all three having completely shaved their hair.

* SecretTestOfCharacter: She was fond of giving these to her two students. At one point, she told them to kill a rat. [[spoiler:Incubus]] cut it in half immediately, while Maya hesitated, reasoning that the rat had done nothing to deserve death, and [[spoiler:Incubus]] had lost the test by not thinking before acting. Meti agreed, but also told Maya that she had failed; If she didn't want the rat to die, she should have done whatever was necesarry to protect it.

* TheDeterminator: Her most positive quality, and why YISUN declared her the greatest of YISUN's disciple; Aesma will never ''stop'' trying to be better than she is.
