Wrong trope. I Resemble That Remark is for denying an accusation in such a way that confirms it.

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Tragically, this is the result of his sacrifice to become Innominat's vessel. He was very explicit in his desire to do so to use what little life he had remaining to build a world where his sister could be happy, without ever telling her of this decision. Unfortunately, she learns of this decision at the worst possible moment, in the worst possible way, and without any needed context. The result is that she is irreversibly turned into a demon, forever shunned by the world as a monster, and became history's first Lord of Calamity in an effort to destroy everything Laphicet sacrificed himself to build. And in the end, instead of being able to live happily after defeating Artorius, Velvet instead must seal herself away forever with Innominat to prevent him from stripping away humanity's free will (a process that Laphicet was also unaware of), in a constant cycle of devouring and being devoured by the Empyrean, no longer truly alive but not quite dead.]]

[[spoiler:By the time the party frees him in Hexen Isle, Innominat turns him into a dragon, shattering any hope of CharacterDevelopment similar to Laphicet. He is then killed off by the party and his bony remains become the BonusBoss in ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria''.]]

* DemiurgeArchetype: The Abbey claims him as a MessianicArchetype, but he's actually an eight headed dragon of merciless light held in check by four gods who holds himself as a superior form of life but in reality is driven by nothing but a base hunger for sin. He seeks to trap the entire world in permanent suppression so he can reign forever, and the game's plot is about building a mechanism to keep himself fed when there's no true sins to eat.



* SatanicArchetype: Ironically, he's more this than the MessianicArchetype the Abbey holds him as; an eight headed dragon of merciless light held in check by four gods who holds himself as a superior form of life but in reality is driven by nothing but a base hunger for sin.

* NecessaryEvil: In a BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil way. His power alone is what keeps the Four Elemental Empyreans' own powers from running rampant and damaging the planet, which is why they come to the party to request a replacement for Innominat since he's been permanently sealed away. Additionally, the revelation of the Heavenly Seraphim showed more light on how necessary his role was. Until Laphicet's purification powers came along, he was the best means of handling malevolence if it ever got on a large scale.

* FixingTheGame: They made a bet with the Seraphim that descended down to the earthly realm that they couldn't live peacefully with humans. The stakes were that if the original seraphim won, they would destroy both humanity and the descended seraphim; if the descended seraphim won, the original seraphim would just leave them alone. However, the originals cheated by placing a curse on the world that would cause humans who were exposed to too much malevolence to become daemons, and seraphim who were exposed to too much malevolence to become dragons. This effectively made it impossible for the descended seraphim to win the bet.

The fact that they don't cash in on this bet even after ''Tales of Zesteria'' may imply that they may have forgotten about them as they enjoy their "paradise" with the assumption that they already destroyed each other.

* {{Foil}}: To Alisha from ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria''. Alisha is ineligible to take the throne of Ladylake and was taught politically ineffective methods by her mentor, but she has a good idea of what she wants to accomplish. In contrast, Percival is the first in line for the throne and received thorough political tutoring, but that same tutoring resulted in him not knowing what he personally wants to accomplish, making him nothing but a cog in Midgand and the Abbey's machine. Alisha eventually becomes more politically effective thanks to her experiences as the Shepherd's ally while Percival eventually gains his own political ambitions thanks to his experiences as the Lord of Calamity's ally.

* {{Foil}}: To Cardinal Forton from ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria'', who also transformed into a Medusa and has a KnightTemplar mindset that causes her to oppose the protagonists. Forton is is denial over her status as a Hellion and refuses to admit that her actions cause more problems and Malevolence than they solve. In contrast, Medissa willingly becomes a Therion to remove Malevolence from the world and atone for unwittingly causing her daughter to become a Daemon, only to abandon the Abbey once she learns that they tricked Kamoana into becoming a Therion.

* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Despite his body and soul being stained by soy sauce, he appreciates the Katz for reaching out to him. Unfortunately, in ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria'', this causes him to embezzle funds from the other Turtlez in order to support the Katz.]]



* ElementalPowers: He uses artes that have both the [[PlayingWithFire fire]] and [[BlowYouAway wind]] elements, and he resists these two elements. Although he looks similar to a fire Normin, his color is more orange than red, which is implied to be due to his alignment with two elements. Additionally, his namesake skill is listed in the Wind row in ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria's'' skill grid.
