!!'''Edin Dan'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/edindan_1643.jpg]]

->'''Tower Position:''' Scout

A Regular who was forcibly recruited into Koon's season 2 team. Due to his blazing speed, Dan acts as the Scout for his comrades. However, [[spoiler:he gets injured following the reveal that members of FUG, Apple and Michael, had infiltrated their team to help Rachel get away from Koon watching over her]].

[[spoiler:Wanting to prove to Rachel that he hasn't given up the Tower climb despite her injuring his legs]], Dan would later follow Koon to join up with Wangnan's Tangsooyook team as they participate in the Workshop Battle. Following the Workshop Battle, Dan joins up with Novick's new team as they try to get on the Hell Train.

* ADayInTheLimeLight: Knot of Wool or Competing Fences Arc
* AudienceSurrogate: Type 2.
* BeadyEyedLoser: His introduction shows that he's pretty much given up climbing the Tower after making it to E-Rank.
* ButtMonkey: In the first few strips after his introduction he gets outgambitted, drugged, forcibly recruited, severely beaten and more than once humiliated.
* CharacterDevelopment: Prior to joining Koon's team, Dan lost the will to climb the Tower due to being the only survivor that ran away from his team when they were stuck going up against powerful opponents. However, [[spoiler:after having his legs injured by Rachel]], he regains that strong will to climb the Tower once more in order to show her that he hasn't given up just yet.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Black/brown.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:His speech against Rachel knowing that saying it would probably get him killed. No Rachel. Edin doesn't want be your legs]].
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Rachel attempted to cause him to experience this and he is determined to make it not happen]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: Rachel stabbed him countless times in the legs and feet, basically crippling him and ruining his chances in the Tower even if he recovers, for rejecting her offer to come with her.]]
* FacingTheBulletsOneLiner: [[spoiler: "Get lost. If you want to walk, walk with those fine legs of your own. You kicked away two friends with those, am I right?" Fortunately, Rachel didn't kill him... except Edin lost ''his'' legs instead.]]
* FragileSpeedster: Rumored to be faster than light, which is why Aguero wanted him.
** Ran even outright says that Dan is useless in a fight, but when it comes to speed, nobody can surpass him.
* FlashStep: During his first appearance, he was too fast even for Koon.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: Rachel attempted to cause him to hit a DespairEventHorizon by taking away his legs, for simply rejecting an offer to help her in the tower.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: His abandoning his last team to die in a desperate fight.
* OhCrap: His reaction moments after accepting a duel with Novick. The rest of his team forfeited.
* RetiredBadass: Stopped being a Regular due to the ''20th Floor Syndrome''.[[note]]that means he got sick of all the testing and settled down, satisfied with his E-Rank.[[/note]]
* SuperSpeed: Extremely fast.
* TheTeam:
--> '''Koon's Original Season 2 Team:''' Dan, Koon, Rachel, Ran, Novick, Gyetang, Apple, and Michael.

[[folder:Koon Ran]]

!!'''Koon Ran'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/koonran_2671.jpg]]

->'''Tower Position:''' Fisherman, Jeonsulsa

Fisherman of Koon's starting season 2 team. Ran was considered one of the top-5 E-Rank Regulars alongside Androssi, Anak, Blarode and Varagarv, and is from the same branch family as Koon Maschenny Zahard. He even has the rare Jeonsulsa Position, which allows Ran to use several Maschenny shinsoo techniques utilizing electricity.

Following Koon's team falling apart [[spoiler:due to being destroyed by the FUG members that infiltrated it]], Ran is forced into joining up with Viole's Workshop team to help the FUG leader (Baam) win the Workshop Battle. Afterwards, he becomes part of Novick's new team as they try to get on the Hell Train. During Team Novick's attempt to board the Hell Train at Name Hunt Station, [[spoiler:Ran is left exhausted and injured following his fight with Arie Inieta, which forces the team, apart from Beta, to stay behind instead of join up with the rest of Baam's team on the Hell Train]].

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: His defeat at Viole's hands did a number on his pride, and his experiences with D-rank Regulars doesn't seem to be helping much in this regard.
* ArchEnemy: Considers Maschenny this, after fighting with her when he was younger and losing. Considers killing her as his final goal when he becomes a Ranker.
* BadassAdorable: The small and cute member of the Great Koon Family. Ran was able to defeat Novick, and fought evenly with Anak during the Workshop Battle.
* TheBigGuy: Despite his small stature, he's the strongest fighter out of Team Koon, and was one of the top 5 E-rank Regulars before becoming D-rank.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Borderline example. He is obnoxious, spoiled and quite childish at times (he destroyed Aguero's Lighthouse during a mission), yet when he gets serious he is a force to be reckoned with.
* CurbStompBattle: How he defeats Novick.
** [[spoiler: On the receiving end with Novick, courtesy of Viole.]]
* CuteBruiser: Surly, tough and undeniably cute. Just... be careful saying that.
* {{Expy}}: Of Killua from ''Hunter x Hunter''.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When he defeats Novick.
* GlassCannon: Relies on his extremely potent attack power and ability to dodge blows most of the time. Doesn't fare that well when he does get hit himself. Worse, because he relies on hit-and-dodge, others can easily bait or herd him into traps if they can take it for a while.
* HotBlooded: Doesn't look like it. Doesn't sound like it. Usually doesn't act like it (unless provoked). But, [[BloodKnight going off pop]] and [[LeeroyJenkins rushing into dangerous situations half-cocked]] is his speciality.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Despite being a Fisherman, Ran's Spear Bearer position is ranked higher than his Fisherman position due to his powerful Lightning Spear techniques, which are extremely powerful for his level. This made him possibly the best Spear Bearer of all the E-rank Regulars.
* IdiotBall: When he gets impatient, he tends to get stupid.
* JerkAss: He is extremely arrogant, and seems to possess next to none social skills.
* KungFuWizard: With an emphasis on the "wizard" part, he is still a capable hand-to-hand fighter.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: He primarily uses Shinsoo and overwhelming force to attack, rather than traditional combat.
* OhCrap: [[spoiler: When Viole shows up, Ran's reaction is basically a chain of OhCrap moments one after the other]].
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Very much. Problem is, he generally deals out damage better than he can take it.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Novick's blue, defying their color scheme.
* TheRival: To Anak and Moontari.
* ShockAndAwe: His Lightning Spear technique.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Compared to many other Regulars since his introduction, Ran has been involved in a majority of the fights. Especially after the Team Novick support team has been established.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Subverted. Sure, just one look at him will yell "Koon" if you know much about the Ten. And, he's got the physical oomph and arrogance down to an art. However, he's not that good at the whole cool, calm, collected and dangerously manipulative part of the brief.
* SuperMode: Redan, which he activates by concentrating shinsoo into one baang then swallowing it. This greatly augments his fighting powers, but after 5 minutes, [[HeroicRROD he will collapse]].
* TheStoic: Facial expressions beyond "frustration" and "bored" are for other people.

--> '''Koon's Original Season 2 Team:''' Ran, Dan, Koon, Rachel, Novick, Gyetang, Apple, and Michael.
--> '''Viole's FUG Team:''' Ran, Viole, Reflejo, Yuto, Xia Xia, Horyang, Cassano, and Novick.
--> '''Team Novick:''' Ran, Dan, Novick, Beta, and Xia Xia.
* TheWorfEffect: This series has a tendency to use him to make others look stronger. It's often justified by his rushing in where those with some information and caution fear to tread. Examples:
** He's played up and shown to be an enormous badass only to make Viole's utter domination of him show how much stronger Viole is. Mind you, had he not been an idiot, Aguero might have been able to warn him about the Irregular factor.
** He clashes with Mirotic and Moontari, to no avail during ''Revolution Road'' to hype up their power. Mind you, the guy was practically frothing with frustration, so disinclined to think before charging.

[[folder:Novick]]

!!'''Novick'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/novicktog_6031.jpg]]

->'''Tower Position:''' Spear-Bearer

Spear Bearer of Koon's starting season 2 team who wears a green jogging jacket, and a member of a famous branch of the Great Ha Family, though he likes making up fake family names for laughs and wits. Novick is considered amongst the top E-rank Regulars due to his Hayeol Style abilities that rely on immobilizing his opponent.

Following Koon's team falling apart [[spoiler:due to being destroyed by the FUG members that infiltrated it]], Novick is forced into joining up with Viole's Workshop team to help the FUG leader (Baam) win the Workshop Battle. Afterwards, Koon names him the leader of a new support team that consists of Ran, Dan, Beta and Xia Xia, who then go about trying to board the Hell Train. However, apart from Beta, the team has so far been unable to get on the Hell Train during their attempts at Train City, and Name Hunt Station.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Ran surpasses him both as a Fisherman and a Spear Bearer.
* BarrierWarrior: Apart from being a great Spear Bearer, he's also competent as fighting as a Fisherman using shinsoo walls to propel people into attacks.
* TheBigGuy: Subverted. He is the biggest of the Aguero's new team, but Ran surpasses him in power.
* BloodKnight: Shows how competent he really is during his fight with [[spoiler:Ilmar and Cassano]].
* ComedicSociopathy: Beating Dan.
* DullSurprise: He only shows any emotion when he fights.

!!'''Apple'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/appletog_3481.jpg]]
%%[[caption-width-right:297:some caption text]]
->'''Tower Position:''' Scout, Light-Bearer

Scout and information gatherer of Koon's season 2 team. [[spoiler:Along with Michael, Apple turns out to be a mole for FUG who was tasked to lead Koon into FUG's trap on the 28th Floor]].

* MissionControl: Owns a Lighthouse and doubles as a Light Bearer for Aguero's Team.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: For FUG.]]
* TheTeam
--> '''Koon's Original Season 2 Team:''' Apple, Gyetang, Ran, Dan, Koon, Rachel, Novick, and Michael.
* UncannyValleyMakeup: Not as bad as some of the page's example, but Apple is notable to wear the most makeup of all the characters introduced so far.

[[folder:Michael]]

!!'''Michael the Missionary'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/michaeltog_8525.jpg]]

->'''Tower Position:''' Wave Controller

Medic and Wave Controller of Koon's season 2 team. [[spoiler:Along with Apple, Michael turns out to be a mole for FUG who was tasked to lead Koon into FUG's trap on the 28th Floor]].

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Brown skin.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: His hair is more on the white-side, but it still opposes his dark skin.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* EyesAlwaysShut: A classic example. [[spoiler:He keeps them shut when he puts up his facade, but opens them when he reveals his true persona as a member of FUG]].
* TheMedic: With some [[spoiler: DeadlyDoctor thrown in on the side to complete the package.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler: Apple's partner.]]
* NiceGuy: Seems to be the most friendly of the team.
* NonindicativeName: Medic, not Missionary. [[spoiler: And, a dangerous one, too: unless he suddenly whips out FUG pamphlets to post through the door, don't buy his shtick.]]
* PerpetualSmiler: Always shown to be smiling
* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler: He even smiles while poisoning Gyetang.]]
* TheTeam
--> '''Koon's Original Season 2 Team:''' Michael, Gyetang, Ran, Dan, Koon, Rachel, Novick, and Apple.

* UnmovingPlaid: His clothing

!!!Tangsooyuk Team Recruits

[[folder:Chang Blarode]]

!!'''Chang Blarode'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chang_3506.jpg]]

->'''Tower Position:''' Fisherman

A Fisherman who is described as "cold and violent". Blarode was considered one of the top-5 E-Rank Regulars alongside Androssi, Anak, Ran, and Varagarv. Like Quaetro, Chang took part in the 28th Floor Test against Tangsooyuk, but joined the team soon after during Workshop after making a deal with Koon during ''One Shot, One Opportunity''.

Following Workshop, Blarode and Quaetro help Team Tangsooyook on the Hell Train, but the two depart from the group after the Dallar Show with [[spoiler:Rachel's two captured teammates, Raguel and Buelsar, in their possession]].

* BadassBoast: Claims he could beat Viole, though he seems to be underestimating things.
* DisappointedInYou: Being turned down from a one-on-one challenge against Viole, Blarode's first impression leaves him disappointed that the FUG Slayer appears to be someone that only fights those who are weak.
** He gets the opportunity to revise this opinion, however.
* TheDreaded: He was considered to be one of the strongest E-rank Regulars. He took [[spoiler: Aguero's off-hand, and fairly trolly, defeat of him rather hard. Viole and company repeatedly upstaging his and Quaetro's team was the cherry on the humiliating character development sundae.]]
* EyeScream: Courtesy of [[spoiler: Koon Aguero Agnis]].
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a very big pair that forms a cross just under his right eye. Definitely not good.
* TheLeader: Could be seen as such for the team he's been climbing the Tower with alongside Quaetro.
* PutOnABus: Along with Quaetro, the two of them departed from Baam's group after the Dallar Show.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Quaetro's red.

--> '''Team Blarode:''' Blarode and Quaetro.
--> '''Koon's Workshop Team:''' Blarode, Wangnan, Viole, Koon, Rak, Dan, Yihwa, Akraptor, Goseng, Miseng, Prince, and Quaetro.
--> '''Koon's Hell Train Team:''' Blarode, Koon, Wangnan, Yihwa, Akraptor, Miseng, Prince, and Quaetro.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Almost always seen alongside Quaetro.
* WildCard: Where Blarode's loyalty lies is still up for debate given his odd actions on the Hell Train. He's shown to be powerful enough to break out of Pedro's hostage cage, but remained standing off on the side as the rest of his teammates completed the 38th Floor Test, which left Yuri finding it odd as to why Blarode is choosing to hide his true abilities from the rest of the team.

[[folder:Quaetro Blitz]]

!!'''Quaetro Blitz'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quaetro_2679.jpg]]

->'''Tower Position:''' Wave Controller, Hwayeomsa

A rather skilled Wave Controller who Team Tangsooyook battled during the 28th Floor Test, and Quant Blitz's family relative. Due to having the rare fire-using Hwayeomsa Position, his skill was considered amongst the best in E-rank, and is thought to be mentally unstable. He joins up with Tangsooyook during Workshop after being impressed by Wangnan's efforts to save Viole from FUG.

Following Workshop, Quaetro and Blarode help Team Tangsooyook on the Hell Train, but the two depart from the group after the Dallar Show with [[spoiler:Rachel's two captured teammates, Raguel and Buelsar, in their possession]].

* AxCrazy: Highlighted by the author in his intro.
* AmbiguousGender: He looks male, and just about all fans refer to him as such, but WordOfGod is that Quaetro's gender will be confirmed later on, which has led to a lot of speculation.
* ButtMonkey: As a Blitz Family member, and thusly related to ''Quant'', it was practically inevitable.
* CharacterDevelopment: While Quaetro is still seen as a crazy unstable guy, he's calmed down a lot after joining Wangnan's Tangsooyook team, and making friends amongst Baam's companions.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Dark skin with red hair.
* TheDreaded: People feared him being one of the strongest E-rank Regulars, and as a user of Hwayeomsa.
* FieryRedhead: A bit crazier than the usual.
* PlayingWithFire: Like all Blitzs.
* PsychopathicManchild: One Word: ''Chirpy''.
* PutOnABus: Along with Blarode, the two of them departed from Baam's group after the Dallar Show.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Chang's blue.
* SmugSuper: Three baangs is awesome for an E-rank Regular, and he knows it. [[spoiler: Then Viole showed him what true talent is.]]

--> '''Team Blarode:''' Quaetro, and Blarode.
--> '''Koon's Workshop Team:''' Quaetro, Blarode, Wangnan, Viole, Koon, Rak, Dan, Yihwa, Akraptor, Goseng, Miseng, and Prince.
--> '''Koon's Hell Train Team:''' Quaetro, Koon, Wangnan, Yihwa, Akraptor, Miseng, Prince, and Blarode.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Almost always seen alongside Blarode.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Wangnan after he earns Quaetro's respect.

!!!FUG's Workshop Team

[[folder:Reflejo]]

!!'''Reflejo'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reflejo_8987.jpg]]
[[quoteright:297:[[labelnote:CLICK FOR REFLEJO'S REAL FACE]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reflejo2_9524.jpg]][[/labelnote]]
%%[[caption-width-right:297:some caption text]]
->'''Tower Position:''' Fisherman

An E-rank Regular who wears a metal mask that conceals his whole face. Reflejo is a member of FUG that acts as a subordinate of Viole's team during the Workshop Battle saga. He is also the de-facto leader of the team, and a minion of Poken, who is in turn, a minion of the FUG Slayer, Karaka. For his powers, the weapon Reflejo wields is a giant scythe, and he's inherited a piece of Ranker Poken's shadow, which allows for Reflejo to use a fraction of a Ranker's power to temporarily reach a strength-level as high as a B-rank Regular.

During the Workshop Battle, Reflejo starts off working under Viole as the team's gambler for the tournament's 1st Round. Afterwards, Reflejo works alongside Beta to trap Viole in the Thorn room in an attempt to melt the Slayer Candidate into becoming a powerful ignition weapon with the Irregular status that would be used by the higher-ups of FUG. As a result, Reflejo takes control of the FUG Team away from Viole, and fights against the Slayer Candidate's companions until the weapon is complete. [[spoiler:However, his plan fails due to intervention from Hwa Ryun and her rescue team, which allows for Viole to escape with the Thorn at hand. In an attempt to regain control of the situation before Viole escapes, Reflejo takes the Slayer Candidate's rescue team captive to force Viole to fight against his FUG Team in the final match of the Workshop Battle]].

* ArcVillain: Reflejo and his FUG Team ([[spoiler:Varagarv, Ron Mei, Cassano and Xia Xia]]) serves as this for the closing portions of the Workshop Battle against Viole and company.
* CastingAShadow: Due to being someone who's inherited a piece of FUG Ranker Poken's shadow, Reflejo's skillset consists primarily of shadow shinsoo abilities.
* DeathSeeker: Due to a [[DisproportionateRetribution past tragic event]], and the hate over [[TheUnchosenOne his petty and unlucky life]], Reflejo's fine with death as long as it's used to further the FUG organization's long desired wish of freedom from the Tower.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Falls into a pool of lava
* DisproportionateRetribution: Done to him [[spoiler: as a young man (child?) he was blinded and his entire family killed because he looked at one of the Zahard Princesses]].
* DragonInChief: Viole may be the face of FUG team in the workshop battle, but Reflejo is the one actually running the team.
* HostageSituation: Twice.
** The first plan was trapping Viole in the Thorn room in an attempt to melt him into the Thorn to become a powerful weapon for the FUG organization.
** The second plan was to take Viole's rescue group (Hwa Ryun, Horyang, and Novick) hostage to prevent Viole from escaping the Workshop Battle. As a result, Viole and his companions are forced to play out the final Workshop Battle match against Reflejo's FUG Team in an attempt to rescue their three hostage companions.
* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:His body has been transformed due to being given a piece of FUG Ranker Poken's shadow.]]
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Wears a gray mask, [[spoiler: and under that is a NightmareFace]]
* SinisterScythe: Double bladed one, at that.
* SuperMode: [[spoiler:By harnessing the power of the fragment of Poken's shadow that he possesses, he's apparently able to temporarily become as strong as a '''B-Rank''' Regular.]]
* TheTeam:
--> '''Viole's FUG Team:''' Reflejo, Viole, Yuto, Xia Xia, Horyang, Cassano, Ran, and Novick.
--> '''Reflejo's FUG Team:''' Reflejo, Xia Xia, Cassano, Varagarv, and Ron Mei.
* TreacherousAdvisor: Viole relied on Reflejo for advice on his upcoming opponents throughout the early portions of the Workshop Battle. Reflejo would then take control of the FUG Team from the Slayer Candidate once it was time to put the FUG organizations plan into action regarding the Thorn.
* TheUnchosenOne: And he's not happy about it. He's been through hell, he's strong, he's loyal and yet it's Viole who gets treated as a god by FUG; Viole who [[spoiler: is actually Reflejo's superior]]; Viole who [[spoiler: becomes the master of the Thorn, the ultimate weapon]], Viole who [[spoiler: gets rescued by all his friends while Reflejo's left to die]], Viole, ''Viole'', '''''VIOLE'''''!!!
* VillainTeamUp: Teams up with Beta in order to trap Viole in the Thorn room.

[[folder:Yuto]]

!!'''Yuto'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuto_2908.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:297:[[spoiler:The person pictured here is Hwa Ryun disguised]]]]
->'''Tower Position:''' Guide

A Regular FUG recruit that was part Viole's Workshop team. Yuto remains to be a complete mystery as the only thing known about her is that she was given a mission to gain the FUG higher-ups trust [[spoiler:to enable a switch-up during the Workshop Battle with Hwa Ryun to help Baam breakaway from FUG]].

* AmbiguousGender: It wasn't until Reflejo confirmed it that had people guessing what Yuto's gender actually was.
* BlushSticker: Sports one when Viole tears off parts of her clothing to use as a disguise when his former teammates confront him (Displayed across her mask oddly enough). Kind of funny in hindsight since [[spoiler:by that time Hwa Ryun had already replaced the real Yuto, so it is actually Hwa Ryun getting embarrassed by Viole's actions in this instance.]]
* MysteriousPast: For a character that played such an integral part during Workshop, absolutely nothing is known about her.
* TheTeam:
--> '''Viole's FUG Team:''' Yuto, Reflejo, Viole, Xia Xia, Horyang, Cassano, Ran, and Novick.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A lot of readers question [[spoiler:if there ever was a Yuto to begin with since the one during the Workshop saga was revealed to be Hwa Ryun. WordOfGod states that there actually is a Yuto out there, and that we'll be seeing her somewhere down the line]].

[[folder:Beniamino Cassano]]

!!'''Beniamino Cassano'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cassano_3133.jpg]]
%%[[caption-width-right:297:some caption text]]

The true "Devil of the Right Arm", and the man Horyang had been searching for. Cassano becomes part of Viole's team for the Workshop Battle in order to push forward his own agenda of reuniting with his mother figure, a researcher named Sophia Amae, when he and Horyang were experimented on by Workshop.

In the Workshop Battle, [[spoiler:Cassano makes a deal with FUG Ranker Madoraco by providing the Ranker information on the current status of Reflejo's FUG Team in exchange for the item that would give Cassano control of the Emile weapon. Cassano also manages to steal Horyang's devil-half in order to power himself up further, and is revealed to have teamed up with Rachel in order to change the Tower. Following the Workshop Battle, Cassano rejoins Rachel's team with Emile at hand, who then go about using Emile to break into the Hell Train while no one's watching. As a result of Horyang's coma due to his power being stolen, Wangnan's Team Tangsooyook board the Hell Train to chase after Cassano in order to get Horyang's devil back]].

Following the Hell Train's Dallar Show, Cassano is one of the remaining Regulars still a part of Rachel's group as they make their way to the forbidden 43rd Floor. During the journey there, [[spoiler:Cassano gets off the Hell Train at the 42nd Floor in order to head back down to finally reawaken Horyang. The reason being that Rachel made a deal with Wangnan for the latter to become part of Team Rachel as long as she agrees to save Horyang from his coma]].

* CrisisOfFaith: Not in a particular god, no. But Cassano's life follows a series of learning to believe one thing, getting it shattered, bottling up the pain, exploding, finding a new thing to believe... rinse and repeat. Unfortunately for him, it makes him easy to isolate and manipulate. [[spoiler: The irony is, the first things he believed to be true were: the Tower system sucks, but you can manage if the people you love (like Sophie and Hoyrang) love and support you, regardless of the bastards trying turn you into a thing. He... just got convinced otherwise: and, plot ensues.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: In one heck of a WhamEpisode when he took away Horyang's devil.]]
* GoalInLife: He climbs the Tower in the hopes of one day changing it so that powerless abandoned children who've been discarded in the Tower's Middle Area have the opportunity at a better life.
* {{Hypocrite}}: As Wangnan is more than happy to point out. [[spoiler:Yes, he's been treated as a disposable thing almost all his life and been put through hell for it, but, dude, that's no excuse for treating your brother experiment, Horyang, as a disposable power-up just because he disagrees with your methods! You can't complain about others not caring when you do this kind of shit to them whenever they try helping you because they care!]]
* LivingMacGuffin: He starts off as the reason why Horyang is climbing the Tower, [[spoiler:and then becomes the motivation for Wangnan's Team Tangsooyook to chase after him in order to bring Horyang back to normal]].
* OneWingedAngel: Like Horyang's. But his wing's on the left side and pointed downward. [[spoiler: He now has both parts of the Devil inside him, after stealing Horyang's.]]
* NoSell: During their first fight, Hatsu couldn't even scratch him.
* NotSoStoic: He flips out when Wangnan points out that his noble intentions don't justify his actions and that FUG will just betray him eventually.
* PeekABangs: Left side, appropriately.
* PlayingWithSyringes: [[spoiler: Along with Horyang, he was experimented on by the Workshop to turn him into a Living Ignition Weapon]].
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Departs the Hell Train to return to Horyang in order to complete Wangnan's recruitment into Team Rachel]].

An E-rank Regular, and member of the Mad Dog team. Considered to be a "perfect warrior" as one of Baylord Yama's three blood-fusion powered pit bulls, Varagarv was a FUG Regular that became renowned as the strongest E-rank as he moved up the Tower. However, he suddenly disappears, and rumors begin to spread he gained a hatred for FUG, and has been killing off their followers in secret. Hearing about FUG's new Slayer Candidate, Viole, Varagarv finally reappears for the Workshop Battle for a battle-of-the-strongest. [[spoiler:However, that turns out to be a ploy as the Mad Dog team had actually been working for FUG the entire time to turn Viole into an ignition weapon]].

The team is named after him; being known as the "Mad Dog" of Yama. Varagarv was considered the strongest of the top-5 E-Rank Regulars above Anak, Androssi, Ran, and Blarode.

* TheBerserker: Deemed to be the strongest E-rank Regular, and was powerful enough to overpower Androssi if it wasn't for Hatsu intervening.
* ChallengeSeeker: Zigzagged. Enters the Workshop Battle to battle Viole for a match between the strongest E-rank Regulars. [[spoiler:Turns out to be a ruse, though in season 3, he's genuinely eager to fight Baam and is angered when the latter [[ILetYouWin lets him win]] in order to sneak into Yama's prison]].
* TheDreaded: Feared as the strongest current E-rank, and as a minion of Baylord Yama.
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:Was said to have broken away from FUG when he actually ''is'' still a member of FUG]].
* GameBreakingInjury: Despite the defense provided by the "Blood Tamara," he ends up injuring his right foot after Androssi kicks him down from a high location in the sky, and smashes into the ground. The injury leads to Ron's KnowWhenToFoldEm moment to bail out of the Workshop Battle.

* InTheBlood: Blood fusion abilities passed down from Baylord Yama.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Red eyes.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Ron's red.
* SummonMagic/[[spoiler:EnemySummoner]]: Can summon shadow wolves to fight by his side; nicknamed the "Ultimate Counter" as it's used for surprise attacks.

It's later revealed that Devil Bon was one of the three FUG gamblers alongside Ron Mei and Miya, who were in on the plan to turn Viole into an ignition weapon for the organization.

[[spoiler:Unbeknownst to everyone in the tournament, no one knew about Devil Bon's parasite being the real Vanguard rather than the Regular that was defeated by Bundawan. Devil Bon would then pass the parasite on to Beta; making Beta the parasite's new Vanguard host]].

* TheDividual: Quite literally for Tebo and Lebo. The orange one turns out to be a clone of the blue original.

->'''Tower Position:''' Fisherman

An E-rank Regular who wears a metal mask that conceals his whole face. Reflejo is a member of FUG that acts as a subordinate of Viole's team during the Workshop Battle saga. He is also the de-facto leader of the team, and a minion of Poken, who is in turn, a minion of the FUG Slayer, Karaka. For his powers, the weapon Reflejo wields is a giant scythe, and he's inherited a piece of Ranker Poken's shadow, which allows for Reflejo to use a fraction of a Ranker's power to temporarily reach a strength-level as high as a B-rank Regular.

During the Workshop Battle, Reflejo starts off working under Viole as the team's gambler for the tournament's 1st Round. Afterwards, Reflejo works alongside Beta to trap Viole in the Thorn room in an attempt to melt the Slayer Candidate into becoming a powerful ignition weapon with the Irregular status that would be used by the higher-ups of FUG. As a result, Reflejo takes control of the FUG Team away from Viole, and fights against the Slayer Candidate's companions until the weapon is complete. [[spoiler:However, his plan fails due to intervention from Hwa Ryun and her rescue team, which allows for Viole to escape with the Thorn at hand. In an attempt to regain control of the situation before Viole escapes, Reflejo takes the Slayer Candidate's rescue team captive to force Viole to fight against his FUG Team in the final match of the Workshop Battle]].

* ArcVillain: Reflejo and his FUG Team ([[spoiler:Varagarv, Ron Mei, Cassano and Xia Xia]]) serves as this for the closing portions of the Workshop Battle against Viole and company.
* CastingAShadow: Due to being someone who's inherited a piece of FUG Ranker Poken's shadow, Reflejo's skillset consists primarily of shadow shinsoo abilities.
* DeathSeeker: Due to a [[DisproportionateRetribution past tragic event]], and the hate over [[TheUnchosenOne his petty and unlucky life]], Reflejo's fine with death as long as it's used to further the FUG organization's long desired wish of freedom from the Tower.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Falls into a pool of lava
* DisproportionateRetribution: Done to him [[spoiler: as a young man (child?) he was blinded and his entire family killed because he looked at one of the Zahard Princesses]].
* DragonInChief: Viole may be the face of FUG team in the workshop battle, but Reflejo is the one actually running the team.
* HostageSituation: Twice.
** The first plan was trapping Viole in the Thorn room in an attempt to melt him into the Thorn to become a powerful weapon for the FUG organization.
** The second plan was to take Viole's rescue group (Hwa Ryun, Horyang, and Novick) hostage to prevent Viole from escaping the Workshop Battle. As a result, Viole and his companions are forced to play out the final Workshop Battle match against Reflejo's FUG Team in an attempt to rescue their three hostage companions.
* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:His body has been transformed due to being given a piece of FUG Ranker Poken's shadow.]]
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Wears a gray mask, [[spoiler: and under that is a NightmareFace]]
* SinisterScythe: Double bladed one, at that.
* SuperMode: [[spoiler:By harnessing the power of the fragment of Poken's shadow that he possesses, he's apparently able to temporarily become as strong as a '''B-Rank''' Regular.]]

--> '''Reflejo's FUG Team:''' Reflejo, Xia Xia, Cassano, Varagarv, and Ron Mei.
* TreacherousAdvisor: Viole relied on Reflejo for advice on his upcoming opponents throughout the early portions of the Workshop Battle. Reflejo would then take control of the FUG Team from the Slayer Candidate once it was time to put the FUG organizations plan into action regarding the Thorn.
* TheUnchosenOne: And he's not happy about it. He's been through hell, he's strong, he's loyal and yet it's Viole who gets treated as a god by FUG; Viole who [[spoiler: is actually Reflejo's superior]]; Viole who [[spoiler: becomes the master of the Thorn, the ultimate weapon]], Viole who [[spoiler: gets rescued by all his friends while Reflejo's left to die]], Viole, ''Viole'', '''''VIOLE'''''!!!

[[caption-width-right:297:[[spoiler:The person pictured here is Hwa Ryun disguised]]]]
->'''Tower Position:''' Guide

A Regular FUG recruit that was part Viole's Workshop team. Yuto remains to be a complete mystery as the only thing known about her is that she was given a mission to gain the FUG higher-ups trust [[spoiler:to enable a switch-up during the Workshop Battle with Hwa Ryun to help Baam breakaway from FUG]].

* AmbiguousGender: It wasn't until Reflejo confirmed it that had people guessing what Yuto's gender actually was.
* BlushSticker: Sports one when Viole tears off parts of her clothing to use as a disguise when his former teammates confront him (Displayed across her mask oddly enough). Kind of funny in hindsight since [[spoiler:by that time Hwa Ryun had already replaced the real Yuto, so it is actually Hwa Ryun getting embarrassed by Viole's actions in this instance.]]
* MysteriousPast: For a character that played such an integral part during Workshop, absolutely nothing is known about her.

--> '''Viole's FUG Team:''' Yuto, Reflejo, Viole, Xia Xia, Horyang, Cassano, Ran, and Novick.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A lot of readers question [[spoiler:if there ever was a Yuto to begin with since the one during the Workshop saga was revealed to be Hwa Ryun. WordOfGod states that there actually is a Yuto out there, and that we'll be seeing her somewhere down the line]].

[[folder:Beniamino Cassano]]

!!'''Beniamino Cassano'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cassano_3133.jpg]]

The true "Devil of the Right Arm", and the man Horyang had been searching for. Cassano becomes part of Viole's team for the Workshop Battle in order to push forward his own agenda of reuniting with his mother figure, a researcher named Sophia Amae, when he and Horyang were experimented on by Workshop.

In the Workshop Battle, [[spoiler:Cassano makes a deal with FUG Ranker Madoraco by providing the Ranker information on the current status of Reflejo's FUG Team in exchange for the item that would give Cassano control of the Emile weapon. Cassano also manages to steal Horyang's devil-half in order to power himself up further, and is revealed to have teamed up with Rachel in order to change the Tower. Following the Workshop Battle, Cassano rejoins Rachel's team with Emile at hand, who then go about using Emile to break into the Hell Train while no one's watching. As a result of Horyang's coma due to his power being stolen, Wangnan's Team Tangsooyook board the Hell Train to chase after Cassano in order to get Horyang's devil back]].

Following the Hell Train's Dallar Show, Cassano is one of the remaining Regulars still a part of Rachel's group as they make their way to the forbidden 43rd Floor. During the journey there, [[spoiler:Cassano gets off the Hell Train at the 42nd Floor in order to head back down to finally reawaken Horyang. The reason being that Rachel made a deal with Wangnan for the latter to become part of Team Rachel as long as she agrees to save Horyang from his coma]].

* CrisisOfFaith: Not in a particular god, no. But Cassano's life follows a series of learning to believe one thing, getting it shattered, bottling up the pain, exploding, finding a new thing to believe... rinse and repeat. Unfortunately for him, it makes him easy to isolate and manipulate. [[spoiler: The irony is, the first things he believed to be true were: the Tower system sucks, but you can manage if the people you love (like Sophie and Hoyrang) love and support you, regardless of the bastards trying turn you into a thing. He... just got convinced otherwise: and, plot ensues.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: In one heck of a WhamEpisode when he took away Horyang's devil.]]
* GoalInLife: He climbs the Tower in the hopes of one day changing it so that powerless abandoned children who've been discarded in the Tower's Middle Area have the opportunity at a better life.
* {{Hypocrite}}: As Wangnan is more than happy to point out. [[spoiler:Yes, he's been treated as a disposable thing almost all his life and been put through hell for it, but, dude, that's no excuse for treating your brother experiment, Horyang, as a disposable power-up just because he disagrees with your methods! You can't complain about others not caring when you do this kind of shit to them whenever they try helping you because they care!]]
* LivingMacGuffin: He starts off as the reason why Horyang is climbing the Tower, [[spoiler:and then becomes the motivation for Wangnan's Team Tangsooyook to chase after him in order to bring Horyang back to normal]].
* OneWingedAngel: Like Horyang's. But his wing's on the left side and pointed downward. [[spoiler: He now has both parts of the Devil inside him, after stealing Horyang's.]]
* NoSell: During their first fight, Hatsu couldn't even scratch him.
* NotSoStoic: He flips out when Wangnan points out that his noble intentions don't justify his actions and that FUG will just betray him eventually.
* PeekABangs: Left side, appropriately.
* PlayingWithSyringes: [[spoiler: Along with Horyang, he was experimented on by the Workshop to turn him into a Living Ignition Weapon]].
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Departs the Hell Train to return to Horyang in order to complete Wangnan's recruitment into Team Rachel]].

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:The Emile app lies that Sophia doesn't really love him, which is likely why he is JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope. Wangnan also points out that he'll likely become a disposable pawn for FUG in the long run.]]
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Like the other experimental walking weapons, he gets hit with this. However, he somehow missed the memo that the vast majority of people in the Tower get treated as things, regardless of what or who they are. It's not just him and them. He can just point to a more concrete reason than most.
* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler:Offers Horyang to join him, but the latter refuses. He may have picked the sales pitch up from FUG and/or Rachel after having it used on him and accepting it -- it's highly likely.]]

An E-rank Regular, and member of the Mad Dog team. Considered to be a "perfect warrior" as one of Baylord Yama's three blood-fusion powered pit bulls, Varagarv was a FUG Regular that became renowned as the strongest E-rank as he moved up the Tower. However, he suddenly disappears, and rumors begin to spread he gained a hatred for FUG, and has been killing off their followers in secret. Hearing about FUG's new Slayer Candidate, Viole, Varagarv finally reappears for the Workshop Battle for a battle-of-the-strongest. [[spoiler:However, that turns out to be a ploy as the Mad Dog team had actually been working for FUG the entire time to turn Viole into an ignition weapon]].

The team is named after him; being known as the "Mad Dog" of Yama. Varagarv was considered the strongest of the top-5 E-Rank Regulars above Anak, Androssi, Ran, and Blarode.

* ChallengeSeeker: Zigzagged. Enters the Workshop Battle to battle Viole for a match between the strongest E-rank Regulars.

* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:Was said to have broken away from FUG when he actually ''is'' still a member of FUG]].
* GameBreakingInjury: Despite the defense provided by the "Blood Tamara," he ends up injuring his right foot after Androssi kicks him down from a high location in the sky, and smashes into the ground. The injury leads to Ron's KnowWhenToFoldEm moment to bail out of the Workshop Battle.

* InSeriesNickname: "Mad Dog" due to his Baylord Yama origins.
* InTheBlood: Blood fusion abilities passed down from Baylord Yama.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Red eyes.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Ron's red.
* SummonMagic/[[spoiler:EnemySummoner]]: Can summon shadow wolves to fight by his side; nicknamed the "Ultimate Counter" as it's used for surprise attacks.

His team was supposedly easily defeated after the host of his Medina parasite had been defeated by Bellux's Vanguard, Bundawan, at the start of the tournament's 2nd Round.

[[spoiler:However, that turned out to not be the case. It's later revealed that Devil Bon was one of the three FUG gamblers alongside Ron Mei and Miya, who were in on the plan to turn Viole into an ignition weapon for the organization. Devil Bon's Medina parasite allowed for Beta to take part in the Workshop Battle since the parasite used Beta as its host, which made Beta the Vanguard for Devil Bon as long as the Medina was within him]].

[[spoiler:Unbeknownst to everyone in the tournament, no one knew about Devil Bon's parasite being the real Vanguard rather than the Regular that was defeated by Bundawan. Devil Bon would then pass the parasite on to Beta; making Beta the parasite's new Vanguard host]].
* SharpDressedMan: Devil Bon's clothing.
* TokenNonhuman: The parasite takes on the form of a tiny worm creature.

* AchillesHeel: The fact the orange one of Tebo and Lebo is a clone means that he will react a lot slower than the original, which Wangnan takes advantage of to come out the winner against Team Hyun Chung.
* BeamSpam: Tebo and Lebo's way of fighting is to fire blasts of shinsoo at their enemy.
* TheDividual: Quite literally for Tebo and Lebo. The orange one turns out to be a clone of the blue original.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: It was obvious that something was off as to why Hyun Chung was allowed to have two tournament Vanguards rather than one. It turned out that it was because the orange one of Tebo and Lebo was a clone of the original blue.
* HornedHumanoid: The blue one of Tebo and Lebo has a tiny horn in the middle of the forehead.
* TheLeader: Hyun Chung served as this for the team as a whole while Tebo and Lebo were the team's leader Vanguard within the tournament.

* ChrisisOfFaith: Not in a particular god, no. But Cassano's life follows a series of learning to believe one thing, getting it shattered, bottling up the pain, exploding, finding a new thing to believe... rinse and repeat. Unfortunately for him, it makes him easy to isolate and manipulate. [[spoiler: The irony is, the first things he believed to be true were: the Tower system sucks, but you can manage if the people you love (like Sophie and Hoyrang) love and support you, regardless of the bastards trying turn you into a thing. He... just got convinced otherwise: and, plot ensues.]]

* {{Hypercrite}}: As Wangnan is more than happy to point out. [[spoiler:Yes, he's been treated as a disposable thing almost all his life and been put through hell for it, but, dude, that's no excuse for treating your brother experiment, Horyang, as a disposable power-up just because he disagrees with your methods! You can't complain about others not caring when you do this kind of shit to them whenever they try helping you because they care!]]

* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler:Offers Horyang to join him, but the latter refuses.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He claims that through his actions, he'll eventually be in a position to help abandoned children in the tower and change the place for the better.

* WildCard: Where Blarode's loyalty lies is still up for debate given his odd actions on the Hell Train. He's shown to be powerful enough to break out of Pedro's hostage cage, but remained standing off on the side as the rest of his teammates completed the 38th Floor Test, which let Yuri finding it odd as to why Blarode is choosing to hide his true abilities from the rest of the team.
