** [[TheFundamentalist Elesh Norn]] has so far proven to be the most successful Praetor of New Phyrexia. Coordinating her siblings' actions in the name of unity during the Mirran war, she ensured the victory of their faction and the capture of an angel leading the resistance. [[VillainRespect To celebrate the angel's loyalty and tenacity]], Norn asked the other Praetors to collaborate (with only Urabrask refusing) in the compleation of the angel into [[MouthOfSauron Atraxa, a powerful steward of Phyrexian ideals]]. Despite failing to corrupt Karn into becoming the new Father of the Machines, she managed to defeat her rivals Sheoldred and Urabrask by exploiting their factions' lack of organization, while maintaining a sincere VillainousFriendship with Jin-Gitaxias and playing Vorinclex like a fiddle, sending him to Kaldheim to retrieve a sample of tyrite. [[WellIntentionedExtremist Truly believing that her philosophy can bring peace and unity to the Multiverse]], Elesh Norn intends to use her position as ''de facto'' Mother of the Machines and the newfound access to planar travel to "bring Phyrexia's magnificence" to other worlds.

** [[EvilGenius Jin-Gitaxias]] is the adaptive and calculating leader of the Progress Engine. During the Mirran-Phyrexian war, he oversaw the contamination of Quicksilver Sea with glistening oil, using the vedalkens' natural curiosity to have them exposed to the substance and accelerate the infection. [[TheRedMage Delving into other sources of mana to expand his philosophy of the Great Synthesis]], Jin-Gitaxias uses the Silver Etchings as well as Sheoldred's visions, takes part to the compleation of Atraxa and has the elf leader Ezuri turned into the Claw of Progress. His position strengthened after Norn's rise to power, he travels to Kamigawa with Tezzeret, [[PragmaticVillainy showing none of the latter's sadism]] while experimenting on kamis. Despite suffering a heavy wound from the Wanderer, he successfully returns to New Phyrexia with Tamiyo, [[AffablyEvil welcoming her as the first compleated planeswalker]] and [[VisionaryVillain assuring she won't be the last]].

* [[GeniusBruiser Gorbad Ironclaw]] is a brilliant [[Characters/WarhammerGreenskins Orc]] Warboss who stood out among his typically brutish people. First taking power by [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority defeating his enemies]] in battle, he amassed a power base of countless Orcs, even using clever tactics such as assassination. Then, after handily defeating most of the Dwarfs, Gorbad used his power to wage war on the Empire. Combining his people's might with cunning and intelligence, Gorbad outplayed and defeated most Imperial forces that opposed him, even building a makeshift bridge from debris to sack the city of Nuln. Despite being [[WoundThatWillNotHeal permanently wounded]] by opposing general Count Adolphus as he destroyed the province of Solland, Gorbad defeated Adolphus and pressed on to the Imperial capital. Despite losing many troops due to initial overconfidence and the wound, Gorbad recovered and unleashed wyverns upon the city which [[HeroKiller slew the Emperor]], and was stopped only inches from victory. Even when without most of his army and cornered by the vengeful Dwarfs on his way back to his clan, Gorbad fought valiantly and became a legend to the Greenskin people.

* [[HornyDevils Nocticula]], the first of all succubi, was one of the most brilliant and dangerous demons in hell's hierarchy. Well known for seducing and murdering other demons for their power, even her brother Socothbenoth grew wary of her and attempted to betray her, only to be easily defeated. Growing weary of evil, Nocticula secretly plotted to become a goddess, using her cults and followers to assist her in this until she was able to [[AscendedDemon ascend to full godhood]] as the Redeemer Queen, patron of outcasts and redemption.

* ''TabletopGame/MutantsAndMasterminds'': [[DiabolicalMastermind August Tiberius Roman]] is the game’s ComicBook/LexLuthor analogue, and the archenemy of the late Centurion, the setting's greatest and most powerful superhero. Starting out as Freedom City's most feared mafia don, Roman bought a pardon from the US government in 1943, and went onto frustrate the Centurion and the Freedom League for decades to come, first as the secret financial backer of the Crime League, and then as the city’s "Emperor of Crime." By the 1950s and 60s, Roman controlled almost every mafioso, gangster, and street criminal in Freedom City, and was receiving a cut of near every crime committed in town, with only truly depraved organizations like Alister Usher's falling outside his purview. This culminated in his outright buying Mayor Franklin Pierce in the 90s, and running the city in everything but name. When Pierce was brought down, he tried to take Roman with him, but the mafioso simply divested his underworld holdings and survived, broke, but free. Now retired, Roman has outlived all his allies and most of his enemies, including the Centurion, and supports himself in his old age by running the Circuit-Maximus, an illegal underground fight club featuring superhumans.

** Trazyn the Infinite is an ingenious [[Characters/Warhammer40000Necrons Necron]], who is equal to any of the great Phaerons in wit and skill. A [[CollectorOfTheStrange collector of rare, historical things and people]], Trazyn frequently outwits others to steal things for his collection. Trazyn performs daring heists and uses his fellow Necron lords as body doubles for himself without informing them, manipulating events so he can benefit. When Abaddon launched his 13th Black Crusade on Cadia, Trazyn even joined in on the side of the Imperium, wanting to play the hero [[ItAmusedMe for fun]], and also to steal Abaddon himself for his collection, though he decided to make due with the Lord Castellan of Cadia instead. Trazyn is even banned from the Necron throne worlds due to his habit of [[StickyFingers stealing their priceless artifacts]], a ban he is well aware of and flaunts for fun whenever the mood takes him.
