An abnormally talented telekine with an ego, Caelior was one of the Ethereal Empire's most renowned heroes of the war against the Synthesized; however, his victories conceal a secret even he is unaware of: most of his victories were arranged by the Empire itself, which helped feed his ego by sending him against forces that they knew were well within his capability to put down, in order to build up his legend.

* BadassOnPaper: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]; while most of his well-known exploits were arranged by the Empire behind his back, when he ended up facing a Synthesized fleet twice the size of his own, he scored a genuine victory. His potential is even acknowledged by the Imperator, who recruited him for that exact reason.

!Ethereal Collective
As the Ethereal Empire waged their war against the hordes of the Synthesized, it eventually became clear to one of the Imperators that the chance for victory had been lost. Though the end would not yet come for some time, this Imperator established a hidden cryogenic facility in which they could wait out the war and rise again once the Synthesized had left. This Imperator and his chosen Ethereals entered sleep, and many years later they awoke to a changed galaxy. Having learned the failings of the Empire, they sought out to gain the allegiance of other species to fight the Synthesized, and in time were lead to a primitive world known as Earth.
----
* BackFromTheBrink: From an empire of billions to a couple dozen survivors at most.
* BattleAura: Possessed by all Ethereals, causing different effects on unshielded minds depending on the individual.
* GeneralFailure: As a rule, Ethereals are excellent at their individual pursuits but are ruinously awful leaders who almost always fall into personal obsessions and ignore the wider world.
* ScaryDogmaticAliens: Though they've rejected the AbsoluteXenophobe tendencies of the Empire, the Collective Ethereals still almost universally treat aliens as tools and test subjects for their idiosyncratic ambitions.
* VestigialEmpire: Though they reject the title of the Ethereal Empire, they are a group numbering in the dozens at most and are almost wholly reliant on their alien servants.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: The Ethereals are so focused on their individual ways of doing things that the "collective" is largely a fiction, particularly for controversial members like Isomnum and the Creator or radicals like Sana'Ligna.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Imperator]]
!!The Imperator, Viatorian, Destroyer of the Prime
As the war against the Synthesized turned against the Ethereal Empire, they took the radical step of enacting a program to produce a superior breed of ethereal. From this, the Imperators were formed. One among these Imperators decided the war was lost and sought survival instead of victory, emerging as the leader of the Ethereal Collective in the modern day. This Imperator, Viatorian, was the only one of their number to ever destroy a Prime Flagship of the Synthesized, an action which prompted them to cease testing the Empire and destroy them completely.
----
* TheAce: Taken UpToEleven: as one of the Ten, he was this even amongst the Imperators themselves.
* BattleAura: His causes a gradually increasing loyalty to his person and his worldview.
* BerserkButton: Openly insulting Sicarius seems to be one, if Caelior's punishment for doing so is any indication.
* TheCorrupter: If there's anyone to blame for Patricia turning her back on XCOM and ADVENT in favor of the Collective, it's him.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: As an Imperator, he was a hero in the old Empire's eyes. His destruction of the Prime Flagship also led to the Synthesized redoubling their efforts against the Ethereals.
* RedBaron: "Destroyer of the Prime". Considering he is the only Imperator (let alone Ethereal) to have destroyed a Prime Flagship, it is very much deserved.
* StoryBreakerPower: Demonstrates the ability to simultaneously mind control every human on Earth, psionic or not. The war continues purely because he wishes it, and Aegis claims even a direct nuclear strike would not harm him. Only the reality warping powers of the Synthesized ever posed a threat to the Imperators.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Battlemaster]]
!!The Battlemaster
The military leader of the Collective, the last of the Battlemasters takes command of the invasion of Earth following the death of the Ravaged One. Nearly invincible in battle and committed to a code of honor, his methods both challenge ADVENT and provide humanity with opportunities for continued resistance.
----
* BadassCape: Wears a red one when he goes to battle.
* BerserkButton: Do not ever target enemy military families, or children. The Creator ends up pushing both of them simultaneously, and the Battlemaster is only stopped from killing her and destroying Paradise because of the Imperator's intervention.
* {{BFS}}: His main weapon, which he masterfully uses either regularly or with the aid of telekinesis.
* CoolSword: His primary weapon, made of Dead World metal and able to cut through even alien alloys.
* HonorBeforeReason: Will not engage in one-sided violence or directly target civilians. He rejects a plan by the Zar'Chon to use clandestine methods to subvert human political bodies and conquer humanity without open conflict and famously armed the muton species before conquering them by himself.
* ImmuneToMindControl: Due to the psychic scars created by the Trial of the Battlemaster, he can neither use mental psionics nor be affected by them. This also prevents him from having a BattleAura like other ethereals.
* LightningBruiser: He moves extremely fast for a regular human, let alone someone his size. Add in his physical strength, his telekinesis and his greatsword, and fighting him soon becomes a nearly impossible prospect.
* MindOverMatter: His main (and only) psionic ability, which he uses to great effect in battle by launching his greatsword or his enemies at great speeds, for example.
* OneManArmy: Far more than most ethereals, the Battlemaster is dangerous even without his psionics and is almost invincible against conventional arms due to his armor, which is made of Dead World metal.
* VillainRespect: Increasingly exhibits this towards humanity for the fervor of their resistance, as well as tricking and nearly killing him numerous times.
* WouldntHurtAChild: Many ethereals hold to this principle due to their low birth rate, but the Battlemaster in particular enforces it zealously. He finds the human treatment of orphans repulsively cruel, bars Collective forces from targeting children, and decides to execute the Creator largely on her use of children in experimentation.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Ravaged One]]
!!The Ravaged One
Formerly of the Overminds, the Ravaged One was the second Ethereal to manage the invasion of Earth, taking over after Sicarius' departure. Warped and wounded, the Ravaged One was obsessed with pain and suffering, and greatly intensified attacks against humanity. He would ultimately be killed during an assault on the Citadel, the first Ethereal to be defeated by human forces.
----
* BattleAura: Causes the affected to re-experience all pain they have ever suffered simultaneously.
* ImHavingSoulPains: Experiences this constantly since the Synthesized War, which he has come to consider a form of enlightenment.
* HeroKiller: Wipes out almost a third of XCOM, including Bradford and Van Doorn, during the assault on the Citadel.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: XCOM killing him changes the context of the war from experimental to an invasion. As Aegis makes clear, the Ethereals would never have sacrificed one of their very few surviving members to test aliens, even one as broken as the Ravaged One.
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Actually one of the weakest Ethereals due to his tormented nature, which becomes a sobering moment for XCOM with how much damaged he managed against them.
* TragicMonster: Was once a compassionate member of the Overminds, who took on the pain of his captured comrades to spare them torture by the Synthesized, and was turned into the Ravaged One.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Overmind]]
!!Overmind
The last surviving Ethereal to bear the title of the Overminds, and one of the oldest living Ethereals prior to the Synthesized conflict, this enigmatic figure is the right hand of the Imperator.
----
* TimeAbyss: This guy is old even compared to other Ethereals; he was alive ''before'' they discovered the key to immortality.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Quisilia]]
!!Quisilia
----
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Yes, he is an Ethereal with a tendency to post memes on Twitter and other social media, but he is still one of the Imperator's trusted spies, and he oversees the Collective's intelligence efforts via the Zararch, not to mention he's powerful enough to beat a Sovereign One avatar in battle. Underestimate him at your peril.
* TheNicknamer: Is responsible for a respectable number of titles and nicknames among the Ethereals, such as "Dread Lord" for Isomnum and "Little Storm" for Caelior.
* PerceptionFilter: Quisilia is capable of erasing the perception of himself from the people he encounters, effectively making himself invisible. This ability doesn't work on recording devices such as cameras; however, he is most likely aware of it and taking precautions to avoid being spotted anyway.

!!Isomnum, the Dread Lord
Once a member of the Empire's Overminds, Isomnum acquired a reputation for his obsession with toying with his victims' fears and breaking their minds. His acts during the Synthesized war resulted in him being hand-picked by the Imperator in the event of a future conflict against the mechanical abominations.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: According to Aegis, this is very much the case. Looking into his life before the Synthesized war perfectly shows why: anyone who talked with him was left on the brink of mental trauma, and even in his youth he'd experiment on animals, inducing heart attacks and insanity. Absolutely ''no one'' mourns his death; in fact, even among the Collective there was a morale boost when word of his death spread.
* BattleAura: His induces fear and terror on his victims.
* TheDreaded: Oh, definitely. When you're one of the only Ethereals capable of making the armies of the '''Synthesized themselves''' run away, you more than qualify.
* RedBaron: "The Dread Lord", based on an homonymous boogeyman told of in old Ethereal stories. This title was bestowed upon him by Quisilia.
* {{Sadist}}: Oh, very much so. He will gladly admit that he enjoys toying with his victims and exposing them to their worst fears until they break.
* {{Telepathy}}: As a skilled telepath, Isomnum was once one of the Ethereal Overminds before the Synthesized war. Among his abilities is a more active version of his BattleAura, capable of making his victims live their worst fears.

!!Regisora, the Voice of the Sovereign
Formerly an Ethereal archeologist who focused on ancient precursor civilizations, the Ethereal Regisora eventually found her way into a sanctum held by the Sovereign Mosrimor, where she would become the main emissary between it and the Imperator.
[[/folder]]
!Ethereal Collective
As the Ethereal Empire waged their war against the hordes of the Synthesized, it eventually became clear to one of the Imperators that the chance for victory had been lost. Though the end would not yet come for some time, this Imperator established a hidden cryogenic facility in which they could wait out the war and rise again once the Synthesized had left. This Imperator and his chosen Ethereals entered sleep, and many years later they awoke to a changed galaxy. Having learned the failings of the Empire, they sought out to gain the allegiance of other species to fight the Synthesized, and in time were lead to a primitive world known as Earth.
----
* BackFromTheBrink: From an empire of billions to a couple dozen survivors at most.
* BattleAura: Possessed by all Ethereals, causing different effects on unshielded minds depending on the individual.
* GeneralFailure: As a rule, Ethereals are excellent at their individual pursuits but are ruinously awful leaders who almost always fall into personal obsessions and ignore the wider world.
* ScaryDogmaticAliens: Though they've rejected the AbsoluteXenophobe tendencies of the Empire, the Collective Ethereals still almost universally treat aliens as tools and test subjects for their idiosyncratic ambitions.
* VestigialEmpire: Though they reject the title of the Ethereal Empire, they are a group numbering in the dozens at most and are almost wholly reliant on their alien servants.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: The Ethereals are so focused on their individual ways of doing things that the "collective" is largely a fiction, particularly for controversial members like Isomnum and the Creator or radicals like Sana'Ligna.

[[folder:The Imperator]]
!!The Imperator, Viatorian, Destroyer of the Prime
As the war against the Synthesized turned against the Ethereal Empire, they took the radical step of enacting a program to produce a superior breed of ethereal. From this, the Imperators were formed. One among these Imperators decided the war was lost and sought survival instead of victory, emerging as the leader of the Ethereal Collective in the modern day. This Imperator, Viatorian, was the only one of their number to ever destroy a Prime Flagship of the Synthesized, an action which prompted them to cease testing the Empire and destroy them completely.
----
* TheAce: Taken UpToEleven: as one of the Ten, he was this even amongst the Imperators themselves.
* BattleAura: His causes a gradually increasing loyalty to his person and his worldview.
* BerserkButton: Openly insulting Sicarius seems to be one, if Caelior's punishment for doing so is any indication.
* TheCorrupter: If there's anyone to blame for Patricia turning her back on XCOM and ADVENT in favor of the Collective, it's him.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: As an Imperator, he was a hero in the old Empire's eyes. His destruction of the Prime Flagship also led to the Synthesized redoubling their efforts against the Ethereals.
* RedBaron: "Destroyer of the Prime". Considering he is the only Imperator (let alone Ethereal) to have destroyed a Prime Flagship, it is very much deserved.
* StoryBreakerPower: Demonstrates the ability to simultaneously mind control every human on Earth, psionic or not. The war continues purely because he wishes it, and Aegis claims even a direct nuclear strike would not harm him. Only the reality warping powers of the Synthesized ever posed a threat to the Imperators.

[[folder:The Battlemaster]]
!!The Battlemaster
The military leader of the Collective, the last of the Battlemasters takes command of the invasion of Earth following the death of the Ravaged One. Nearly invincible in battle and committed to a code of honor, his methods both challenge ADVENT and provide humanity with opportunities for continued resistance.
----
* BadassCape: Wears a red one when he goes to battle.
* BerserkButton: Do not ever target enemy military families, or children. The Creator ends up pushing both of them simultaneously, and the Battlemaster is only stopped from killing her and destroying Paradise because of the Imperator's intervention.
* {{BFS}}: His main weapon, which he masterfully uses either regularly or with the aid of telekinesis.
* CoolSword: His primary weapon, made of Dead World metal and able to cut through even alien alloys.
* HonorBeforeReason: Will not engage in one-sided violence or directly target civilians. He rejects a plan by the Zar'Chon to use clandestine methods to subvert human political bodies and conquer humanity without open conflict and famously armed the muton species before conquering them by himself.
* ImmuneToMindControl: Due to the psychic scars created by the Trial of the Battlemaster, he can neither use mental psionics nor be affected by them. This also prevents him from having a BattleAura like other ethereals.
* LightningBruiser: He moves extremely fast for a regular human, let alone someone his size. Add in his physical strength, his telekinesis and his greatsword, and fighting him soon becomes a nearly impossible prospect.
* MindOverMatter: His main (and only) psionic ability, which he uses to great effect in battle by launching his greatsword or his enemies at great speeds, for example.
* OneManArmy: Far more than most ethereals, the Battlemaster is dangerous even without his psionics and is almost invincible against conventional arms due to his armor, which is made of Dead World metal.
* VillainRespect: Increasingly exhibits this towards humanity for the fervor of their resistance, as well as tricking and nearly killing him numerous times.
* WouldntHurtAChild: Many ethereals hold to this principle due to their low birth rate, but the Battlemaster in particular enforces it zealously. He finds the human treatment of orphans repulsively cruel, bars Collective forces from targeting children, and decides to execute the Creator largely on her use of children in experimentation.

[[folder:The Ravaged One]]
!!The Ravaged One
Formerly of the Overminds, the Ravaged One was the second Ethereal to manage the invasion of Earth, taking over after Sicarius' departure. Warped and wounded, the Ravaged One was obsessed with pain and suffering, and greatly intensified attacks against humanity. He would ultimately be killed during an assault on the Citadel, the first Ethereal to be defeated by human forces.
----
* BattleAura: Causes the affected to re-experience all pain they have ever suffered simultaneously.
* ImHavingSoulPains: Experiences this constantly since the Synthesized War, which he has come to consider a form of enlightenment.
* HeroKiller: Wipes out almost a third of XCOM, including Bradford and Van Doorn, during the assault on the Citadel.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: XCOM killing him changes the context of the war from experimental to an invasion. As Aegis makes clear, the Ethereals would never have sacrificed one of their very few surviving members to test aliens, even one as broken as the Ravaged One.
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Actually one of the weakest Ethereals due to his tormented nature, which becomes a sobering moment for XCOM with how much damaged he managed against them.
* TragicMonster: Was once a compassionate member of the Overminds, who took on the pain of his captured comrades to spare them torture by the Synthesized, and was turned into the Ravaged One.

[[folder:The Overmind]]
!!Overmind
The last surviving Ethereal to bear the title of the Overminds, and one of the oldest living Ethereals prior to the Synthesized conflict, this enigmatic figure is the right hand of the Imperator.
----
* TimeAbyss: This guy is old even compared to other Ethereals; he was alive ''before'' they discovered the key to immortality.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Quisilia]]
!!Quisilia
----
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Yes, he is an Ethereal with a tendency to post memes on Twitter and other social media, but he is still one of the Imperator's trusted spies, and he oversees the Collective's intelligence efforts via the Zararch, not to mention he's powerful enough to beat a Sovereign One avatar in battle. Underestimate him at your peril.
* TheNicknamer: Is responsible for a respectable number of titles and nicknames among the Ethereals, such as "Dread Lord" for Isomnum and "Little Storm" for Caelior.
* PerceptionFilter: Quisilia is capable of erasing the perception of himself from the people he encounters, effectively making himself invisible. This ability doesn't work on recording devices such as cameras; however, he is most likely aware of it and taking precautions to avoid being spotted anyway.

Once a member of the Empire's Overminds, Isomnum acquired a reputation for his obsession with toying with his victims' fears and breaking their minds. His acts during the Synthesized war resulted in him being hand-picked by the Imperator in the event of a future conflict against the mechanical abominations.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: According to Aegis, this is very much the case. Looking into his life before the Synthesized war perfectly shows why: anyone who talked with him was left on the brink of mental trauma, and even in his youth he'd experiment on animals, inducing heart attacks and insanity. Absolutely ''no one'' mourns his death; in fact, even among the Collective there was a morale boost when word of his death spread.
