* DarthVaderClone: He's a powerful warrior who wears black armor and a black mast, serves as TheDragon to an ancient, withered EvilOverlord who he secretly plots against, is TheHeavy of the series and the most personal adversary of its hero... and he [[OlderThanTheyThink predates Vader by roughly ten years]].
* TheDragon: As the highest-ranking commander of Granbretan's military, he serves as this to King-Emperor Huon.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He can be a very polite and cultured man, but it's all on the surface. Inside, he's everything bad about Granbretan cranked UpToEleven.
* TheHeavy: He's Hawkmoon's most personal and recurring enemy across the novels, and ends up [[spoiler: replacing Huon as the BigBad at the end]].
* IfICantHaveYou: Yisselda's refusal leads to...to RevengeBeforeReason.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: He's a much more direct and personal threat to all of the protagonists than Huon is.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: As the head of the Order of the Wolf, he always wears a wolf mask in public.


Added DiffLines:

* TheSociopath: Even by the low standards of [[DeadlyDecadentCourt Granbretan]], he's noteworthy for his naked ambition and utter LackOfEmpathy.
* TheStarscream: Eventually becomes this to Huon. [[spoiler: He's successful]].
* VillainousBreakdown: He becomes rather progressively unhinged as the goes on.


Added DiffLines:


!!King-Emperor Huon
* AgeWithoutYouth: His throne-globe keeps him alive but hasn't stopped him from withering into a fetus-like creature.
* BigBad: As the King-Emperor of Granbretan, he's the ultimate antagonist of the series. [[spoiler: At least until Meliadus overthrows him]].
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: He can't leave his throne-globe, which is the only thing keeping him alive after so long.
* DirtyOldMan: He's no longer capable of having sex himself, but apparently will sometimes order his court to throw orgies just so he can watch.
* EvilOldFolks: Emphasis on the ''old'' - he's ''at least'' two thousand.
* EvilOverlord: Well, he ''is'' the tyrannical ruler of an expansionist nation bent on world domination. It goes with the territory.
* FatalFlaw: His pride, which leads him to believe that non Granbretanian could ever consider turning against him. [[spoiler: Meliadus proves him wrong]].
* GodEmperor: His Granbretanian subjects revere him as something near divine, even [[OhMyGods swearing by his name]].
* ImmortalityInducer: His throne-globe has preserved his life ''far'' beyond a normal human span.
* NonActionBigBad: Thanks to being a DarkLordOnLifeSupport, he's physically helpless without his subjects and machines.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: By necessity rather than choice, as he's literally incapable of moving from said throne without dying.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's two thousand and counting.
* VocalDissonance: Despite his withered appearance, he has a very melodious, youthful-sounding voice. [[PoweredByAForsakenChild Apparently it was stolen from some unfortunate and somehow transferred to him]].
