History Characters / TheDresdenFilesTheFomor

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Literally punts Mab through a wall in the middle of the titular Peace Talks. While Mab isn't a ''villain'' per se, all the evil shit she's done throughout the previous books puts it in this category.

* BlindObedience: He insists he is willing to give his life for his 'Master'.
* MadScientist: He seems to be providing the 'evil science' portion of the operation, as he is in charge of analyzing the blood of the captured Alphas to see what kind of drug was used on them.

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Does this to Ethniu when she makes a bad call, as he knows very well her invasion would go sideways without his leadership. She is forced to give in.

* {{Foil}}: Seems to be this to Harry, since he is [[spoiler: another Starborn]], a magic-user, and serves Corb in much the same capacity as Harry serves Mab. The only real difference seems to be that while both Omogh and Corb expect and receive sycophantic obedience, Mab explicitly expects Harry to operate independently and even oppose her when it is in Winter's best interest that he do so.

* WeHaveReserves: He fully acknowledges he is this. If the Corpsetaker kills him, another will take his place.

* ManipulativeBastard: Calls a truce meeting simply to get the local Unseelie Accords leaders in one place under the Svartalf roof, so that he could kill them and place the blame on the svartalves which would compel them to ally with the Fomor to not be destroyed.

Mag's brother, who planned to gas a treaty signing between the Fomor and the svartalves; Marcone was attending the signing, and Froggy wanted to kill him in revenge for Mag's death. His plans went awry, however, when witch Molly Carpenter and werewolf Andi Macklin intervened. Froggy might be the Formor known as Omogh mentioned in "Ghost Story".

* IHaveYourWife: Or child. Or sibling. Or neighbor. Or pet. Another tactic of the Fomor to get at people. They will use what they can.

* WeHaveReserves: As one servitor tells the Corpsetaker, she may kill him as part of her reply to his lord, but he is inconsequential - there are many more to take his place. As she irritably observes, she would kill him anyway if he wasn't telling the literal truth. That said, he does have a sense of self-preservation and would not like to die in any means that isn't helping his lord.

Old enemies of both the Summer and Winter Fae who were banished out to sea, and are one of the supernatural powers that re-emerged at the end of ''Changes''. They are a hodgepodge of many monsters and pantheons driven into the sea and now adapted to aquatic life. WordOfGod hints that they are featured in some of H.P. Lovecraft's writings.

* TheManBehindTheMan: It turns out that she is behind Corb's monstrous acts. When introduced she is literally [[spoiler:holding Corb by a leash.]]

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: Ultimately, she is just another pawn of Nemesis. Ethniu's entire attack on Chicago was merely a distraction to prevent Dresden from noticing that Justine had been possessed so Nemesis would have access to Demonreach.]]
* VillainTeamUp: ''Peace Talks'' strongly implies that she has done this with [[EldritchAbomination The Outsiders]]. [[spoiler:She hadn't. It's not entirely clear if she was corrupted by Nemesis (or even if she could be) or if it had manipulated her, but the Outsiders intensified their attack on the Gates as Ethniu attacked Chicago, anticipating that it was potentially hours before the Gates fell from the other side. Ethniu's personal war was a long con by Nemesis, designed specifically to eventually infiltrate Nemesis onto Demonreach, with Harry's protection no less. Fortunately, Harry sees the plan with only minutes to spare.]]
* WaveMotionGun: The Eye of Balor behaves like this, complete with needing to charge up between uses. When used, it fires [[ThePowerOfHate a beam of solid hate]] that obliterates anything in its path. People caught in it die quickly, but their last moments are filled with unimaginable suffering. [[spoiler: Mab confidently withstands a direct hit from it, because being queen of the cold, logical Winter Court makes her the antithesis of the Eye's irrational hate, but she's left too exhausted to even sit up straight afterward.]]

* TheJuggernaut: She wears armor made of Titanic bronze, an alloy of Olympian bronze and mordite, the protective ability of which is tied directly to the strength of her will -- in other words, as long as she ''thinks'' she's invincible, she ''actually is'', even on those parts of her not covered by armor. Only sufficient divine (or infernal) power can breach her armor without first needing to break her will. On top of that, she matches a who's who list of the Dresdenverse in divine, magical, and physical combat, even as they team up against her. Quite simply, she was so stupidly powerful, that she could stand up to just about everything.

* DiabolusExNihilo: Ethniu as a character is almost literally a “devil from nothing”: an astronomically powerful and evil villain who comes out of left field, her existence never previously alluded to. And exactly as the trope defines such a character, she is revealed to exist, gets a tiny smattering of backstory, shakes up the setting, and is disposed of at the end of her story arc (the only way she’s coming back is if [[spoiler: Harry decides to exploit her power, which he acknowledges as a catastrophically stupid idea, or if Demonreach gets breached, in which case North America is screwed with or without her]]).

* DeathOfAThousandCuts: How everyone plans to take her down. [[spoiler: It works, and she is weakened enough that her final SealedEvilInACan fate sticks for good. ''Every'' heavy-hitter in the FinalBattle (Mab, Odin, The Earlking, Titania, The Archive, River Shoulder, Ebenezer, Listens-to-Wind, Ramirez, Gard, Hendricks, Marcone, Thorned Namshiel, two Knights Of The Cross, Lara, TheCavalry lead by both Molly and Sarissa and Harry himself) does their part to slowly weaken her bit by bit until she's wounded enough that her permanent sealing in Demonreach is possible. As Harry himself lampshades: "How do you eat a Titan? One bite at a time."]]

* AncientEvil: As described under TimeAbyss, below, Ethniu has been around for a ''long'' time, and while we don't know her temperament form the old days, in modern times she's an OmnicidalManiac towards humanity, if not all Unseelie Accord Nations as well.

* AncientEvil: As described under TimeAbyss, below, Ethniu has been around for a ''long'' time, and while we don't know her temerament form the old days, in modern times she's an OmnicidalManiac towards humanity, if not all Unseelie Accord Nations as well.

* WouldHitAGirl: Molly sees three dead young women in his bed, all strangled to death. He nearly does this to Molly as welln

* FailedASpotCheck: [[spoiler:He failed to recognize that Mouse wasn't in the Carpenter house when he sent a bunch of mercenaries to kill the Carpenters and Maggie Dresden to demoralize Harry. In reality, they were just decoys left behind by Molly, and Mouse's absence served as [[AGlitchInTheMatrix that it was false and they were okay]], completely subverting Ethniu attempt at using this to break his hope and prevent him from binding her into Demonreach. Alternatively, Listen ''did'' notice, but was tired of being a slave, and let Ethniu used the false memory anyway since it would get her sealed in Demonreach and basically make him a free man since Corb and the Fomor are essentially shattered after the events of ''Battle Ground'']].

* NoNonsenseNemesis: Utterly ruthless and practical, to the point where Molly's tired to kill him at least a dozen times and yet he's still managed to survive every time.

* BlindObedience: He insists he is willing to give his life for his 'Master.'
