History Characters / WardSClassThreats

* BigBadWannabe: He's foreshadowed as a major antagonist in the early chapters of ''Ward'', and many of the major conflicts--the Fallen, Goddess' attack on the parahuman prison, the Order of Four's alliance with Cradle and March--can be traced back to his machinations to set off the end of the world again. However, he's ultimately defeated right before he can take control of the Titan apocalypse and is arrested offscreen, with it being heavily implied that the Simurgh orchestrated his downfall as a means of securing her own influence over the Titans.

* TheHeavy: Shares the role with Amy. The Red Queen is a far more personal antagonist to Victoria, but Teacher is the driving force behind much of the danger faced by Gimel, whether it be the terrorist attacks committed by the Fallen or the beginnings of war with Earth Cheit. While he is not directly responsible for beginning the shard apocalypse--though not for lack of trying--it was his schemes that brought events to the tipping point for the end of the world to begin again.

* BigBadEnsemble: Shares the role of main antagonist for the climax with the Simurgh. Though Fortuna appears very late into the story, she quickly establishes herself as the head of the dominant Titan network and the ''de facto'' leader of the antagonistic shards--a threat that has been built up since the beginning of the serial. The Simurgh's goals are far more vile, to the point where Fortuna actually helps the heroes fight her, but stopping her own plan to become a new Entity and blow up the planet to continue the cycle is an equally important responsibility for Victoria and the final conflict for her to overcome.

* BigBadEnsemble: Shares the role of main antagonist for the climax with the Simurgh. Though Fortuna appears very late into the story, she quickly establishes herself as the head of the dominant Titan network and the ''de facto'' leader of the antagonistic shards, a threat that has been built up since the beginning of the serial. The Simurgh's goals are far more vile, to the point where Fortuna actually helps the heroes fight her, but stopping her own plan to become a new Entity and blow up the planet to continue the cycle is an equally important responsibility for Victoria.

* BigBadEnsemble: The Simurgh finally steps up to become the primary villain near the end of ''Ward'', sharing the role with Fortuna. Though Fortuna is the more prominent threat throughout most of the climax, with Breakthrough not even learning of the Simurgh's true goals until the the end of penultimate arc, the Endbringer proves to be far worse through her aims at [[spoiler:taking control of the Titans and enslaving humanity into an endless existence of maximized suffering and conflict to gather data for the next Entity to pass by Earth]], and it's implied that the Simurgh has been influencing many events throughout the story to facilitate her victory. Stopping Fortuna is still an important task and is ultimately the final hurdle for Breakthrough to clear, but after learning of the Simurgh's plan the heroes immediately prioritize stopping her, even teaming up with the Titans to battle her in the climactic final battle of the serial.

* BigBadEnsemble: Shares the role of main antagonist alongside the Simurgh. Though Fortuna makes her appearance very late into the story, she quickly establishes herself as the head of the dominant Titan network and the ''de facto'' face of their threat. The Simurgh's goals are far more vile, to the point where Fortuna actually helps the heroes fight her, but stopping her own plan to become a new Entity and blow up the planet to continue the cycle is an equally important responsibility for Victoria.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: As much damage and chaos as Teacher's ultimately behind, even he draws the line at the part of March's plan calling for [[spoiler:messing with the time bubbles.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: How he tries to paint his subversive attempts to conquer multiple worlds. [[spoiler:Since reality is breaking, and the Shards are going to converge, he believes that with everyone and everything under him, he'll be able to salvage some sense of order and survival from the resulting disasters.]] It's noted that although [[spoiler:Contessa]] admits to it being the "objectively best outcome," no one thinks it's a particularly good one that's worth allowing. Even her.

* BigBadEnsemble: With the Simurgh. Fortuna is the head of the dominant Titan network, planning on becoming a new entity and blowing up the planet to continue the cycle.

* BigBadEnsemble: Steps up near the end of ''Ward'' to become the primary villain, aiming to [[spoiler:take control of the Titans and enslave humanity into an endless existence of maximized suffering and conflict to gather data for the next Entity to pass by Earth.]] However, focus is placed on both stopping her ''and'' Fortuna, who plans to [[GodhoodSeeker become a new Entity]].
