[[folder:Kronya]]
* AdaptationalExpansion: A ''lot'' of more {{Backstory}} is given to her in this story to explain her character and her [[PsychopathicManchild particularities]] outside being the rather flat CardCarryingVillain she was in the original story. [[spoiler:Her mother was arrested on suspicion of being a dissenter, causing her and her sister Atra to enlist in the Agarthan military. She took to killing like a duck to water, went AxCrazy, and now worships the ground Thales walks on.]] It actually makes her quite the TragicVillain in hindsight despite how unrepentant and [[AxCrazy bloodthirsty]] she is and it does indeed makes her a considerably more pitiable figure in the end. At the end of day, it becomes quite obvious that she was just a tragic, utterly disposable UnwittingPawn for Thales and the rest of The Agarthan leading powers.
* CainAndAbel: Is the Cain to [[spoiler: Atra's]] Abel.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:Instead of having her heart ripped out by Solon as a sacrifice for a dark magic ritual, Kronya is viciously stabbed to death by Byleth.]]
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: As seen in Atra's POV chapter in ''The Knights of Fódlan'', while Atra is perfectly aware that her sister was an AxCrazy assassin that had gone too far to ever be saved or redeemed in any kind of way, she tearfully and heartbreakingly admits to Yuri that she still is mourning and a part of her is absolutly devastated at Kroyna's death because at the end of the day Kronya was ''her sister'' and she still loved her despite all the evil that she did for Thales. Yuri himself assures Atra that this reaction is perfectly normal and holds her in his arms while Atra break down and cries for the death of the sister she used to have before Thales got his hands on her.
* IWantMyMommy: Her last words as she lays dying from Byleth’s [[ExtremeMeleeRevenge brutal stabbing assault]] are to weakly ask for her mother and beg her to save her. In Kronya’s case this just paints her as the tragic, twisted figure that she is when we later learn that the StartOfDarkness that shifted her from the [[UsedToBeASweetKid playful and loving sister she used to be]] to the woman she [[AxCrazy became]] all started with her mother’s arrest and death in Agartha.
* ProfessionalKiller: While in the {{Canon}} games its implied that her murder of Jeralt was more of crime of opportunity and part of a BatmanGambit by the Agarthans, both [[DefectorFromDecadence Asta]] and this series strongly imply that in this series Kronya is officially The Agarthans “Pet Assassin” and that she’s been greatly enjoying her role for a while now.
* PsychopathicWomanchild: How Dimitri describes her- skipping like a child, [[ForTheEvulz taking almost a childlike glee in her cruelty]], [[GigglingVillain having a disturbing amusement in the rage she causes]] and overall being someone who is clearly [[AxCrazy not right in the head.]]
* SuperSoldier: She was one, as it turns out. Chapter 79 reveals that all Agarthans soldiers are [[PlayingWithSyringes given]] general physical enhancements. It's a procedure, according to Marian, that was learned from studying dragon's blood and genetic editing. Everyone who enters the army is subjected to it after they pass initiation; it gives them peak human physical or magical performance depending on their proficiency. Said process is done when they are [[HarmfulToMinors twelve years of age.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Atra's POV chapter in The Knights Of Fódlan tragically shows that Kronya used to be a mischievius and loving sister to Atra before Thales sank his claws in and turned her into the person she became. It's almost painful seeing the kind and playful sister Kronya used to be, the sister Atra dearly loved.

[[folder:Thales]]
* BigBad: Is the ultimate architect of most of the evil that's befallen Fódlan, with Edelgard being both his wannabe [[TheStarscream would-be usurper]] and ultimately his victim.
* BerserkButton: [[DefectorFromDecadence Atra’s]] defection and [[SpannerInTheWorks all the problems she has caused because of it]] infuriates both Thales and Odesse so much that a captured Edelgard mentions that she can ''feel'' their rage for Atra even without naming her.
* DirtyCoward: How Rhea regards him during her and Byleth fight against him, being a FlunkyBoss that hides behind his [[BarrierWarrior shield spells]] and his men throwing themselves at them while he strikes from afar.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Neither Odesse or Thales are able to comprehend how [[KnightInShiningArmor Dimitri]], whom both consider a half-mad boy-king, is able to turn all of Edelgard's citizens against her through sheer kindness and charisma.
* EvilChancellor: His title in Agartha is 'the High Chancellor'; to name ''some'' of his evil acts, he [[spoiler: signed off on the Tragedy of Duscur]], regularly deploys child soldiers to the field and shows no regard for their wellbeing or safety, teaches Shambhala's citizens a sham history and imposes FantasticRacism on their understanding of the people of Fódlan, and runs his city as an Orwellian cult where any dissention gets you disappeared or ''worse''.
* EvilSorcerer: A capable magic user with a mixed range to spell and a monstrous and sociopathic attitude to match.
* FantasticRacism: Regards the people of Fódlan as little more than animals and savages, and even that's more dignity than he affords [[spoiler: the Nabateans]].
* {{Irony}}: Despite essentially being the man in charge of The Agarthans and considering himself above everyone else who is not Agarthan, he's actually the first member of the main ruling council who dies at the hands of our heroes.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:In Chapter 73, Thales turns the resurrected corpses of Edelgard's siblings into White Beasts to sic on the advancing heroes.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: In chapter 73, [[spoiler:when the heroes are StormingTheCastle, Thales tells Edelgard point-blank that he is not going to piss away any more of his men on her completely lost cause.]]
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:How he is killed in Chapter 99. Rhea manages to slice througth all of Thales's powerful shield spells and deal and substantial wound, which is fallowed by Byleth not wasting any time and slicing off his head with contemptuous ease.]]
* OhCrap: Has a major one when Sothis manifests herself to him near the end of Chapter 97, recoiling in abject terror at her presence and later trying to block one of her attacks along Myson and Odesse to absolutely no avail.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to [[spoiler:Edelgard in Chapter 73 that completely and utterly breaks her.]]
-->'''Thales:''': I know better than to apply the best of my men to a lost cause. You cannot win this battle. You lost long ago, you just refused to realize it. The Riegan boy outwitted you, the Fell Star drew in more hearts than you, and the Blaiddyd boy hits harder than you. I had been under the impression, when you outlined your plans to reunite Fódlan under yourself, that you had the drive and the intelligence to make it possible. Yet you failed at every opportunity. You failed to break apart Riegan and Blaiddyd's love affair with the Fell Star, failed to kill the Fell Star's vessel when she was in your grasp for months before reclaiming her full power, and failed to do anything but lose ground in the war you started, even with our assistance.
* VillainousBreakdown: Has a brief one when Lysithea declares during [[spoiler: parley with the Empire]] that [[GodIsGood Sothis]] saved humanity by destroying ancient Agartha, attempting to order [[spoiler: Riegan]] to shoot her and the other army leaders.
** Has another major one in Chapter 97, when several of out heroes give him multiple ''merciless'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech one after the other, completely countering his [[FantasticRacism abhorrent and utterly disgusting rhetoric]] with cold, hard facts and proving quite redily than Thales and The Agarthan inner circle are nothing more than disturbingly myopic [[SoreLoser sore losers]] whose utterly sociopathic behavior makes them completely and utterly reprehensible in every sense of the world.
** In Chapter 99 he easily has his biggest one, pretty much loosing all of his composure and falling into a desperate, horrified and rabid rant when he notices that Shambhala is rising from underground without his permission and pretty much looses any dignity and his sanity takes a sharp turn downward when its revealed to him that [[DefectorFromDecadence Atra]] was responsible for said action.
* VillainousFriendship: For all their absolutely disgusting FantasticRacism and utterly sociopathic attitude towards everyone who is not Agarthan, [[spoiler:Chapter 73 shows that the trio of Thales, Myson and Odesse truly do consider each other close friends and allies, Thales openly admiring Myson's intelligence and resourcefulness and treating Odesse like an HonestAdvisor with genuine grievances which he respectfully answers. Myson and Odesse in turn both advise and talk to Thales with open honesty and are perfectly at ease in voicing their opinions, even if it's a dissenting one.]]
* VillainRespect: By the end of the war, Thales considers Claude to be a WorthyOpponent and laments that his intelligence is, in his mind, being squandered by the Children of the Goddess.
* YouHaveFailedMe: After failing to conquer Fódlan, he violently subdues Edelgard and takes her to Shambhala to be turned into a Hegemon Husk while the Empire is left to burn.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Myson]]
* ArchEnemy: Towards the whole Charon Line, considering he was the one responsible for the experiments that killed all of Lysithea’s siblings and granted her a second Crest at the cost of a drastically shortened lifespan. [[PapaWolf Julius]] can barely [[SuppressedRage stop his body shaking from rage]] when talking about what Myson did to Lysithea and when she learns ''who'' was responsible for her horrifying experience she makes it ''very'' clear that Myson is ''hers'' to [[ItsPersonal deal with]].
* CastingAShadow: A skilled user of Dark Magic, with his preferred spell being the infamous [[HPToOne Bohr Χ]] spell, but he’s also more than capable of using other dark magic spells such as Hades and his own variation of Dark Spikes T.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Polite, quite [[PragmaticVillainy adverse]] of unnecessary cruelty and violence, [[UnholyMatrimony very clearly in love with his fiancé]] and not someone who lets his temper get in the way of his work. And of course, an absolutely [[MadScientist vile]] man who is just as utterly [[FantasticRacism abhorrent]], [[LackOfEmpathy amoral]] and [[WouldHurtAChild extreme]] as the other member of The Agarthan inner circle. He’s just a lot calmer and restrained about it.
* {{Geas}}: He placed one on [[spoiler: the Ten Elites]] to ensure their obedience; unfortunately for him, it's not perfect. He mentions placing [[spoiler:Edelgard under one during [[WhamEpisode Chapter 73]] to ensure they got what they need out of her with Adrestia falling to the Kingdom-Alliance-Church army]].
* KarmicDeath: Was "[[LudicrousGibs turned into mulch]]" by Lysithea, the only member among her siblings who survived his [[PlayingWithSyringes inhuman experiment.]]
* KilledOffscreen: Out of the triumvirate that currently lead Agartha, he's the only one whose death we don't get to see in the main story, but considering than Lysithea outright states that she "[[LudicrousGibs turned him into mulch]]", it's clear his death was a messy thing indeed.
* MadScientist: For the Agarthans as a whole, and an incredibly intelligent one considering Thales holds his intellect in incredible esteem.
* NoOntologicalInertia: With his death, the {{Geas}} placed on [[spoiler: the Ten Elites]] to ensure their obedience is broken, and they are allowed to be a ''lot'' more helpful and blatant in allowing the heroes to kill them for real.
* OhCrap:
** Has a minor one when [[spoiler: Blaiddyd]] lunges at him with clear intent to kill while he's showing [[spoiler: him and Fraldarius off to Edelgard and Hubert]].
** He mentions it only in hindsight, but he likely had one when [[spoiler: Fraldarius openly said that she'd kill him if she got the chance]], given that he pleads with Thales to put them back on ice while he tries to improve his {{Geas}}.
** Has a major one when Sothis manifests herself to him near the end of Chapter 97, recoiling in abject terror at her presence and later trying to block one of her attacks along Thales and Odesse to absolutely no avail.
* PragmaticVillainy: Myson dislikes cruelty and suffering that doesn't serve a specific purpose. [[spoiler:He stops Odesse's beating of Edelgard in chapter 80, telling him firmly that attacking a defeated prisoner is beneath him.]]
* SecretPolice: According to Atra, he's in charge of it as the commander of the 'neighborhood watches' in Shambhala.
* TheSociopath: Played in the most unnerving and creepiest (yet textbook) way possible, when talking about the experiments done to Lysithea’s family. He knew on an intellectual level that what he did to her family was cruel and unconscionable, but as far as he’s concerned everything in the end was worth it because he learned and perfected his greatest successes. The Author goes to describe Myson as the kind of person who knows he's doing something horribly evil, but is able to do the mental exercises to convince himself it's necessary and he’s able to say with a straight face that the awful things he did do meet noble goals.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Unlike [[LargeHam Thales]] or [[AxCrazy Odesse]], he almost never looses his cool in any way and in most of his interaction with other people he’s [[FauxAffablyEvil calm, controlled and genuinely affably soft spoken and polite]], which actually makes the atrocities he commits as Agartha main’s MadScientist all the more disturbing.
* UnholyMatrimony: With [[EvilGenius Bias]], his fiancé. They actually seem to be genuinely quite in love, with Myson sharing a surprisingly [[AnywhereButTheirLips tender]] moment with her, speaking with soft fondness towards her and its obvious that he holds her intelligence and competence with great regard and treats her as an equal partner in his work.
* VillainousFriendship: For all their absolutely disgusting FantasticRacism and utterly sociopathic attitude towards everyone who is not Agarthan, [[spoiler:Chapter 73 shows that the trio of Thales, Myson and Odesse truly do consider each other close friends and allies, Thales openly admiring Myson's intelligence and resourcefulness and treating Odesse like an HonestAdvisor with genuine grievances which he respectfully answers. Myson and Odesse in turn both advise and talk to Thales with open honesty and are perfectly at ease in voicing their opinions, even if it's a dissenting one.]]

[[folder:Odesse]]
* {{Angrish}}: His reaction towards the multiple TheReasonYouSuckSpeech that drives Thales into his secondary VillainousBreakdown in Chapter 97? Snarling at Bernadetta and calling her a “bitch”. This turned out to be the [[InsultBackfire wrong thing to do]], as it just gave both Bernadetta and Glenn more ammunition for their respective speeches towards him and leaves Odesse verbally flailing.
* ArchEnemy: Towards Dedue. Considering his actions led to [[ThePurge the Tragedy of Duscur]], it’s made abundantly clear that the normal GentleGiant that is [[SoleSurvivor Dedue]] wants nothing more than to have Odesse head on a pike. And completely understandably so.
* AxCrazy: Utterly unabashed in his vicious and sadistic savagery and ''anything'' is capable of setting his volcanic temper off and has him resort to uncontrolled violence.
* BerserkButton: [[DefectorFromDecadence Atra’s]] defection and [[SpannerInTheWorks all the problems she has caused because of it]] infuriates both Thales and Odesse so much that a captured Edelgard mentions that she can ''feel' their rage for Atra even without naming her.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Neither Odesse or Thales are able to comprehend how [[KnightInShiningArmor Dimitri]], whom both consider a half-mad boy-king, is able to turn all of Edelgard's citizens against her through sheer kindness and charisma.
* EvilSorcerer: An absolute AxCrazy sociopath who turns out to be quite skilled at the use of both [[LifeDrain Nosferatu]] and [[PlayingWithFire Ragnarok]].
* GeneralRipper: Atra reveals that he was the one who carried out [[spoiler:the Tragedy of Duscur]], among other missions. [[spoiler:A captured Edelgard in chapter 80 compares the look in his eyes at his RageBreakingPoint to that of [[AxCrazy Maximus Varley]].]]
* HonestAdvisor: Serves as one to Thales, giving him his truthful opinion and criticizing some of his decisions while expressing concerns about Myson's desire to put the Einherjar back on ice.
* {{Jerkass}}: Unlike [[FauxAffablyEvil Myson]] he never ''bothers'' to hide his absolute [[KickTheDog unpleasantness]], [[AxCrazy explosive temper and bloodlust]] and just how utterly [[FantasticRacism disgusting, useless and counterproductive he finds working alongside Edelgard]]. Atra describes him to our heroes as a twisted GeneralRipper and in every scene he’s in he goes to prove her right, his absolutely vicious and horrifying [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown assault on a captive Edelgard]] in chapter 80 just being the pinnacle of how twisted and unrepentantly cruel he normally is.
* KarmicDeath: As the main architect of the Tragedy of Duscur, it’s utterly fitting that his death comes at the hands of the three main survivors of the horrific tragedy among the cast in Chapter 102: his arms get utterly ruined by Dimitri, he gets impaled by Glenn with his sword and ends up literally [[ExtremeMeleeRevenge beaten to death in the most vicious way]] by [[BewareTheNiceOnes Dedue]]. And it could not have happened to a more disgustingly despicable monster.
* LifeDrain: A skilled user of the Nosferatu spell, according to Atra.
* MadeOfIron: Much to the frustration of Dedue, [[PlayingWithSyringes the experiments]] every Agarthan gets preformed on them when they are children makes them a lot more durable than anything else outside [[OurDragonsAreDifferent The Nabateans]] and [[VoodooZombie The Ten Elite]], and Odesse is not different. He’s able to easily survive blows from [[SuperStrength Dimitri]] that would have turned any another human into paste ten times over, for one.
* NeverMyFault: As Glenn darkly point out, screaming about how it's the heroes' fault that Nemesis has awoken once again falls short very quickly when one remembers that it was the ''Agarthans'' who not only made him the monster he became in the first place but also kept his body and made him a failsafe.
* OhCrap:
** Has a major one when Sothis manifests herself to him near the end of Chapter 97, recoiling in abject terror at her presence and later trying to block one of her attacks along Thales and Myson to absolutely no avail.
** Has easily his biggest one yet in Chapter 102 when he realizes that [[TheDreaded Nemesis]] is awake once again, absolutely going pale white with horror and shriekingly blaming the heroes for the awakening of the slumbering warlord, to the point that at the end of his rant he weakly mutters that he’s as good as dead and goes into a burst of [[LaughingMad hysterical giggling]]…but then [[TakingYouWithMe decides to take all the heroes he’s fighting with him along for the ride.]]
* RageBreakingPoint: In chapter 80, the captured Edelgard attempts to spit in his face and whip him with her chains. Having finally had enough, he begins kicking her and snarling insults in Agarthan (which is borrowed from German, in case certain parallels were too subtle):
-->''"Hundin! Nutzlos hundin! Schwein! Inzuchtig kretin!"[[labelnote:Translation]]"Bitch! Useless bitch! Pig! Inbred cretin!"[[/labelnote]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Given to Edelgard after the aforementioned beating:
-->"Your idiocy is only matched by your delusions of grandeur. Your mutt is dead, rotting from the obsidian poison. Your palace burns. Your lands have been surrendered, some of them happily welcoming, the Fell Star's army. There is ''no one'' left who is loyal to you, and there were precious few to begin with. You are ''nothing'' and ''no one'', so cease your posturing and squawking and go to your cage with a little ''dignity!''"
* TheSociopath: Chapter 98 goes a long way to show that he’s this beyond all contestation. At first he didn’t even [[ButForMeItWasTuesday remember]] [[ThePurge the Tragedy of Duscur]] because in his eyes Dedue and his people were simply ''that'' [[FantasticRacism unimportant in the scheme of things as far as he was concerned]]. But when he ''does'' remember The Tragedy he spitefully and sadistically tells Dedue that he was completely unrepentant about said disgusting atrocity and in his own words: “I'd do it again without hesitation for my home. I'll kill a thousand more Duscur surfacers if it will bring me to my goal – the world for Agartha!”
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: After the many setbacks due to [[TheMillstone Edelgard's actions]] Odesse, laments that they'd have been better off keeping her in a lab and just plain killing off Ionius and let the chaos run from there.
--> “We could have simply spirited her off to Agartha, then killed the Emperor – it would have been easy. With him dead, those seven fat idiots would have [[EvilPowerVacuum torn each other apart to claim the throne for themselves]]. They would have dropped the Empire into a civil war that would have killed three times the surfacers this war has, and thrown the other countries into chaos as they tried to claim land in the aftermath.”
* TautologicalTemplar: As Glenn notes, someone like [[AxCrazy Odesse]] shouldn’t be able to use [[ReligionIsMagic Faith Magic]] normally. The series implies that Odesse’s ability to use Faith Magic came from his uncompromising certainty, sociopathic fervor and faith in Thales and the Agarthan’s cause, which somehow counted as a kind of faith in its own right.
* VillainousBreakdown: Glenn makes him absolutely loose his shit ''twice'' and in Chapter 98 he breaks out into a rabid, furious rant about how [[SpannerInTheWorks Glenn]] utterly ruined all of his careful planning. He’s so utterly and viscerally enraged and furious that he sounds almost animalistic and Dedue notes that it’s almost as if he cannot contain his rage and sheer volcanic savagery and hatred. His tone of voice shrieking and inhuman.
* VillainousFriendship: For all their absolutely disgusting FantasticRacism and utterly sociopathic attitude towards everyone who is not Agarthan, [[spoiler:Chapter 73 shows that the trio of Thales, Myson and Odesse truly do consider each other close friends and allies, Thales openly admiring Myson's intelligence and resourcefulness and treating Odesse like an HonestAdvisor with genuine grievances which he respectfully answers. Myson and Odesse in turn both advise and talk to Thales with open honesty and are perfectly at ease in voicing their opinions, even if it's a dissenting one.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Bias]]
* EvilGenius: The master of mechanics of Shambhala, Bias is described as the one who creates/maintains the Titanus and [[spoiler: maintains the [[VoodooZombie Ten Elites]]'s cryostasis.]]
* EvilMentor: It’s implied she’s this towards Pittacus, who actually calls her Sensei.
* KilledOffscreen: Like her lover Myson, but unlike him we as of yet do not know who did the deed itself.
* PragmaticVillainy: She shares this attitude with her fiancé. She casts a basic healing spell at Edelgard after her [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beatdown]] by Odesse not because she feels any kind of realistic sympathy towards [[UnwittingPawn her]] but because Edelgard is needed alive in order to start [[PlayingWithSyringes the experiments on her.]]
* UnholyMatrimony: With [[MadScientist Myson]], her fiancé. They actually seem to be genuinely quite in love, with Myson sharing a surprisingly [[AnywhereButTheirLips tender]] moment with her, Bias actually being openly loving, affectionate and teasing towards Myson and it’s obvious that she holds his own intelligence and competence with just as much regard and he holds hers and she consider him to be an equal partner in her work.
* VillainousFriendship: While her relationship with Myson is that of UnholyMatrimony, she also seems to share a relaxed one with Thales and Odesse considering she calls them “brothers” with open fondness.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Diado]]
* AdaptationalKarma: Compared to canon Verdant Wind, where they were a full KarmaHoudini, Cornelia is caught for her role in the Tragedy of Duscur and is executed offscreen.
* AdaptationNameChange: A minor example. Although "Cornelia" was always a fake name, canon had not revealed her real name at time of writing, so she is given the name Diado.
* FalseFriend: To Anselma/Patricia- while acting as a concerned and helpful confidant, she tricked her into setting up the Tragedy of Duscur.
* TheMole: Agartha's spy inside the Kingdom.
* OddNameOut: Most of the core Agarthan leaders are named after the seven sages of Greece. "Cornelia", on the other hand, is given the name Diado.

[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Thales]]
* BigBad: Is the ultimate architect of most of the evil that's befallen Fódlan, with Edelgard being both his wannabe [[TheStarscream would-be usurper]] and ultimately his victim.
* BerserkButton: [[DefectorFromDecadence Atra’s]] defection and [[SpannerInTheWorks all the problems she has caused because of it]] infuriates both Thales and Odesse so much that a captured Edelgard mentions that she can ''feel'' their rage for Atra even without naming her.
* DirtyCoward: How Rhea regards him during her and Byleth fight against him, being a FlunkyBoss that hides behind his [[BarrierWarrior shield spells]] and his men throwing themselves at them while he strikes from afar.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Neither Odesse or Thales are able to comprehend how [[KnightInShiningArmor Dimitri]], whom both consider a half-mad boy-king, is able to turn all of Edelgard's citizens against her through sheer kindness and charisma.
* EvilChancellor: His title in Agartha is 'the High Chancellor'; to name ''some'' of his evil acts, he [[spoiler: signed off on the Tragedy of Duscur]], regularly deploys child soldiers to the field and shows no regard for their wellbeing or safety, teaches Shambhala's citizens a sham history and imposes FantasticRacism on their understanding of the people of Fódlan, and runs his city as an Orwellian cult where any dissention gets you disappeared or ''worse''.
* EvilSorcerer: A capable magic user with a mixed range to spell and a monstrous and sociopathic attitude to match.
* FantasticRacism: Regards the people of Fódlan as little more than animals and savages, and even that's more dignity than he affords [[spoiler: the Nabateans]].
* {{Irony}}: Despite essentially being the man in charge of The Agarthans and considering himself above everyone else who is not Agarthan, he's actually the first member of the main ruling council who dies at the hands of our heroes.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:In Chapter 73, Thales turns the resurrected corpses of Edelgard's siblings into White Beasts to sic on the advancing heroes.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: In chapter 73, [[spoiler:when the heroes are StormingTheCastle, Thales tells Edelgard point-blank that he is not going to piss away any more of his men on her completely lost cause.]]
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:How he is killed in Chapter 99. Rhea manages to slice througth all of Thales's powerful shield spells and deal and substantial wound, which is fallowed by Byleth not wasting any time and slicing off his head with contemptuous ease.]]
* OhCrap: Has a major one when Sothis manifests herself to him near the end of Chapter 97, recoiling in abject terror at her presence and later trying to block one of her attacks along Myson and Odesse to absolutely no avail.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to [[spoiler:Edelgard in Chapter 73 that completely and utterly breaks her.]]
-->'''Thales:''': I know better than to apply the best of my men to a lost cause. You cannot win this battle. You lost long ago, you just refused to realize it. The Riegan boy outwitted you, the Fell Star drew in more hearts than you, and the Blaiddyd boy hits harder than you. I had been under the impression, when you outlined your plans to reunite Fódlan under yourself, that you had the drive and the intelligence to make it possible. Yet you failed at every opportunity. You failed to break apart Riegan and Blaiddyd's love affair with the Fell Star, failed to kill the Fell Star's vessel when she was in your grasp for months before reclaiming her full power, and failed to do anything but lose ground in the war you started, even with our assistance.
* VillainousBreakdown: Has a brief one when Lysithea declares during [[spoiler: parley with the Empire]] that [[GodIsGood Sothis]] saved humanity by destroying ancient Agartha, attempting to order [[spoiler: Riegan]] to shoot her and the other army leaders.
** Has another major one in Chapter 97, when several of out heroes give him multiple ''merciless'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech one after the other, completely countering his [[FantasticRacism abhorrent and utterly disgusting rhetoric]] with cold, hard facts and proving quite redily than Thales and The Agarthan inner circle are nothing more than disturbingly myopic [[SoreLoser sore losers]] whose utterly sociopathic behavior makes them completely and utterly reprehensible in every sense of the world.
** In Chapter 99 he easily has his biggest one, pretty much loosing all of his composure and falling into a desperate, horrified and rabid rant when he notices that Shambhala is rising from underground without his permission and pretty much looses any dignity and his sanity takes a sharp turn downward when its revealed to him that [[DefectorFromDecadence Atra]] was responsible for said action.
* VillainousFriendship: For all their absolutely disgusting FantasticRacism and utterly sociopathic attitude towards everyone who is not Agarthan, [[spoiler:Chapter 73 shows that the trio of Thales, Myson and Odesse truly do consider each other close friends and allies, Thales openly admiring Myson's intelligence and resourcefulness and treating Odesse like an HonestAdvisor with genuine grievances which he respectfully answers. Myson and Odesse in turn both advise and talk to Thales with open honesty and are perfectly at ease in voicing their opinions, even if it's a dissenting one.]]
* VillainRespect: By the end of the war, Thales considers Claude to be a WorthyOpponent and laments that his intelligence is, in his mind, being squandered by the Children of the Goddess.
* YouHaveFailedMe: After failing to conquer Fódlan, he violently subdues Edelgard and takes her to Shambhala to be turned into a Hegemon Husk while the Empire is left to burn.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Myson]]
* ArchEnemy: Towards the whole Charon Line, considering he was the one responsible for the experiments that killed all of Lysithea’s siblings and granted her a second Crest at the cost of a drastically shortened lifespan. [[PapaWolf Julius]] can barely [[SuppressedRage stop his body shaking from rage]] when talking about what Myson did to Lysithea and when she learns ''who'' was responsible for her horrifying experience she makes it ''very'' clear that Myson is ''hers'' to [[ItsPersonal deal with]].
* CastingAShadow: A skilled user of Dark Magic, with his preferred spell being the infamous [[HPToOne Bohr Χ]] spell, but he’s also more than capable of using other dark magic spells such as Hades and his own variation of Dark Spikes T.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Polite, quite [[PragmaticVillainy adverse]] of unnecessary cruelty and violence, [[UnholyMatrimony very clearly in love with his fiancé]] and not someone who lets his temper get in the way of his work. And of course, an absolutely [[MadScientist vile]] man who is just as utterly [[FantasticRacism abhorrent]], [[LackOfEmpathy amoral]] and [[WouldHurtAChild extreme]] as the other member of The Agarthan inner circle. He’s just a lot calmer and restrained about it.
* {{Geas}}: He placed one on [[spoiler: the Ten Elites]] to ensure their obedience; unfortunately for him, it's not perfect. He mentions placing [[spoiler:Edelgard under one during [[WhamEpisode Chapter 73]] to ensure they got what they need out of her with Adrestia falling to the Kingdom-Alliance-Church army]].
* KarmicDeath: Was "[[LudicrousGibs turned into mulch]]" by Lysithea, the only member among her siblings who survived his [[PlayingWithSyringes inhuman experiment.]]
* KilledOffscreen: Out of the triumvirate that currently lead Agartha, he's the only one whose death we don't get to see in the main story, but considering than Lysithea outright states that she "[[LudicrousGibs turned him into mulch]]", it's clear his death was a messy thing indeed.
* MadScientist: For the Agarthans as a whole, and an incredibly intelligent one considering Thales holds his intellect in incredible esteem.
* NoOntologicalInertia: With his death, the {{Geas}} placed on [[spoiler: the Ten Elites]] to ensure their obedience is broken, and they are allowed to be a ''lot'' more helpful and blatant in allowing the heroes to kill them for real.
* OhCrap:
** Has a minor one when [[spoiler: Blaiddyd]] lunges at him with clear intent to kill while he's showing [[spoiler: him and Fraldarius off to Edelgard and Hubert]].
** He mentions it only in hindsight, but he likely had one when [[spoiler: Fraldarius openly said that she'd kill him if she got the chance]], given that he pleads with Thales to put them back on ice while he tries to improve his {{Geas}}.
** Has a major one when Sothis manifests herself to him near the end of Chapter 97, recoiling in abject terror at her presence and later trying to block one of her attacks along Thales and Odesse to absolutely no avail.
* PragmaticVillainy: Myson dislikes cruelty and suffering that doesn't serve a specific purpose. [[spoiler:He stops Odesse's beating of Edelgard in chapter 80, telling him firmly that attacking a defeated prisoner is beneath him.]]
* SecretPolice: According to Atra, he's in charge of it as the commander of the 'neighborhood watches' in Shambhala.
* TheSociopath: Played in the most unnerving and creepiest (yet textbook) way possible, when talking about the experiments done to Lysithea’s family. He knew on an intellectual level that what he did to her family was cruel and unconscionable, but as far as he’s concerned everything in the end was worth it because he learned and perfected his greatest successes. The Author goes to describe Myson as the kind of person who knows he's doing something horribly evil, but is able to do the mental exercises to convince himself it's necessary and he’s able to say with a straight face that the awful things he did do meet noble goals.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Unlike [[LargeHam Thales]] or [[AxCrazy Odesse]], he almost never looses his cool in any way and in most of his interaction with other people he’s [[FauxAffablyEvil calm, controlled and genuinely affably soft spoken and polite]], which actually makes the atrocities he commits as Agartha main’s MadScientist all the more disturbing.
* UnholyMatrimony: With [[EvilGenius Bias]], his fiancé. They actually seem to be genuinely quite in love, with Myson sharing a surprisingly [[AnywhereButTheirLips tender]] moment with her, speaking with soft fondness towards her and its obvious that he holds her intelligence and competence with great regard and treats her as an equal partner in his work.
* VillainousFriendship: For all their absolutely disgusting FantasticRacism and utterly sociopathic attitude towards everyone who is not Agarthan, [[spoiler:Chapter 73 shows that the trio of Thales, Myson and Odesse truly do consider each other close friends and allies, Thales openly admiring Myson's intelligence and resourcefulness and treating Odesse like an HonestAdvisor with genuine grievances which he respectfully answers. Myson and Odesse in turn both advise and talk to Thales with open honesty and are perfectly at ease in voicing their opinions, even if it's a dissenting one.]]

[[folder:Odesse]]
* {{Angrish}}: His reaction towards the multiple TheReasonYouSuckSpeech that drives Thales into his secondary VillainousBreakdown in Chapter 97? Snarling at Bernadetta and calling her a “bitch”. This turned out to be the [[InsultBackfire wrong thing to do]], as it just gave both Bernadetta and Glenn more ammunition for their respective speeches towards him and leaves Odesse verbally flailing.
* ArchEnemy: Towards Dedue. Considering his actions led to [[ThePurge the Tragedy of Duscur]], it’s made abundantly clear that the normal GentleGiant that is [[SoleSurvivor Dedue]] wants nothing more than to have Odesse head on a pike. And completely understandably so.
* AxCrazy: Utterly unabashed in his vicious and sadistic savagery and ''anything'' is capable of setting his volcanic temper off and has him resort to uncontrolled violence.
* BerserkButton: [[DefectorFromDecadence Atra’s]] defection and [[SpannerInTheWorks all the problems she has caused because of it]] infuriates both Thales and Odesse so much that a captured Edelgard mentions that she can ''feel' their rage for Atra even without naming her.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Neither Odesse or Thales are able to comprehend how [[KnightInShiningArmor Dimitri]], whom both consider a half-mad boy-king, is able to turn all of Edelgard's citizens against her through sheer kindness and charisma.

Atra describes him to our heroes as a twisted GeneralRipper and in every scene he’s in he goes to prove her right, his absolutely vicious and horrifying [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown assault on a captive Edelgard]] in chapter 80 just being the pinnacle of how twisted and unrepentantly cruel he normally is.

And it could not have happened to a more disgustingly despicable monster.
