* BullyingADragon: Zigzagged. She knows full well that Zolph is the Silver Seraph and has a reputation for once beating Valkor and killing other Archfiends in that form. However, she tries to make an effort to prevent Zolph from turning into the Seraph (by engineering a situation earlier where Zolph would be forced to turn into the Seraph, thus theoretically making him too burned out to transform again so soon) so she can have an easier time killing him, all while psychologically tormenting him and those around him. Unfortunately for her, she tries to subject Zolph to the Sarlacc's digestive process, which results in him getting Black Matter pumped into his blood and turning into the Black Berserker due to said psychological torment, which in turn results in her dying a much more agonizing death than the Seraph would have given her.

Notably, during her time in the Sarlacc, she toys with its [[AndIMustScream already-tormented victims]] to pass the time, and she openly plans to torture and mutilate both Zolph and Hiriss.
* NonMammalianHair: She's next-to-impossible to properly taxonimize - having traits of animals, plants and fungi - but she has long black hair growing from the back of her head.
* OurMonstersAreWeird: She looks like a tall, long-armed woman in a ballroom dress made of petals, but she has a flower for head that has an eyeball for a bulb, has no legs underneath her "dress", and her chest cavity has a mouth that can open up to spew out poision.
* PsychopathicWomanchild: She treats the Sarlacc's stomach like her palace, and treats its victims like her playthings.
* PoisonousPerson: She is capable of emitting poison gas from her chest cavity.
* PuppeteerParasite: While Forceless symbiotes already have possession down to an art, Cordycia is capable of taking control of much larger creatures on her own.
* SmugSnake: She makes a lot of talk about how she can play XanatosSpeedChess and get Zolph killed either way, whether by taking control of a target too big to ignore, making him overexert his use of Force-channeling, or trying to break him passively exposing him to the anguish of the Sarlacc's victims. However, as Zolph points out, he and the Silver Seraph are TheDreaded to the Collective for a very good reason.
* TooDumbToLive: She tried to torture Zolph by subjecting him to the Sarlacc's digestive process. Unfortunately - as she should have known by this point - the Sarlacc ends up pumping some Black Matter into his blood, and combined with the pre-existing psychic stimuli and the other victims' agony [[TheEmpath resonating with him]], he turns into the [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Black Berserker]] instead of the Silver Seraph, who subjects her to a much more agonizing death than the Seraph would have given her.

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Dynn Manthis's replacement arm]] during her service to the Valkoran Empire. Created from a sleeper symbiote snuck onto Dynn via a donated arm, it has a mind and personality of its own.

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: He is the first Archfiend Zolph fights, and according to Grein, he's one of the weakest in the Collective. The fact that Zolph struggled with Terraris tells him that he's going to need to be careful when fighting future Archfiends.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He's lured in many followers with the promise of bringing peace and order to not just the galaxy, but the entire universe. However, his desire to have almost anyone who doesn't submit to him possessed or killed (while giving autonomy to psychopaths like Belluzub and Facadma), ravaging an entire planet just to break one of his enemies, and his blatant god complex make it clear that he does what he does because he enjoys dominating others.

* DarthVaderClone: She's similar to Maesterus in this regard, being a tall-bodied warrior in black, body-concealing armor that serves as an enforcer for the Forceless Collective. She also seems to have a degree of Forceless-possession immunity similar to Maesterus (obvious possession symptoms, but enough autonomy to act against the Collective's interests). What little we know of her backstory so far implies that she was once a Paladin of the Plamora, the Murigan equivalent of the Jedi Order, and her surname implies that she is related to Admon Onae.
