** ** [[OnlySaneMan Ken Adams]] evolves from his Season 1 role as a [[HypercompetentSidekick put-upon sidekick]] to Bart, to a true DiabolicalMastermind in Season 2. Already proving himself to be a clever schemer with helping Bart track down Dirk Gently and using his computer skills to help solve the Spring case, Ken takes advantage of his extended imprisonment at Blackwing to manipulate Hugo Friedkin into using Ken as an asset. Ken tricks Friedkin into steadily promoting him to higher ranks with each passing day as Ken grows knowledgeable about Blackwing's operations and its subjects, and uses his enhanced cunning to reign in the psychotic Osmund Priest and turn the shapeshifter Mona into a pawn. Overcoming his former cowardly traits to stand up to Wendimoor knights and defend Blackwing's base from an assault, Ken finalizes his takeover of the entire organization by banishing Friedkin to die, charismatically winning over the higher-ups to make himself the permanent Director of Blackwing, and convinces even the loose cannon Bart to ally with him once more as Ken makes plans to [[WellIntentionedExtremist bring "order" to the world]] by bringing all the former Blackwing subjects under his banner.

* CompleteMonster: The second season has two {{Evil Sorcerer}}s who ally to cause mayhem:
** [[EvilMentor "The Mage" Kellum]] is an evil conqueror who has recently set his sights on the mystical land of Wendimoor and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulates a conflict]] between two powerful families, the Trosts and the Dengdamors, hoping to cause enough bloodshed to weaken both sides such that he can wipe out the survivors with his own armies. [[PlayingBothSides To instigate the violence]], the Mage sells guns from the real world to the Dengdamors and blames the kidnapping of one of their princes on the Trosts. The Mage also [[TheCorrupter corrupts]] the mentally unstable Suzie Boreton in the real world into becoming his apprentice, who herself goes on to cause a slew of deaths. Realizing he is destined to be defeated in Wendimoor, the Mage cowardly abandons his conquest, instead choosing to satisfy his sadism by tormenting real world denizens, and tries to force a man to kill himself by driving a car full of explosives into the portal to Wendimoor to guarantee the Mage's safety. A [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centered tyrant]], the Mage cared for nothing but sating his sick impulses and securing his own well-being.
** [[VainSorceress Suzanne "Suzie" Boreton]] herself is seemingly [[FromNobodyToNightmare a downtrodden working-class mother]] who reveals [[EvilAllAlong her true nature]] after receiving the Mage's apprentice wand. When [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse called out]] as being responsible for every bit of misery in her own life, Suzie angrily incinerates the women reprimanding her and joins the Mage at the promise of being made Queen of Wendimoor. When the Mage abandons his own plans for conquest out of fear at losing, Suzie takes matters into her own hands, conducting a massacre in a hospital to murder a man prophesied to defeat the villain in Wendimoor. Taking command over the Mage's armies, Suzie continues his plan to manipulate the land's warring leading families into killing each other before having her men kill the surviving few. [[AGodAmI Declaring herself the most powerful being in existence]], Suzie moves to murder the few who can stop her, proving herself a monstrous megalomaniac just like her mentor.

Rainey used the Exchanger to steal the bodies of dozens of people for himself over the years, maintaining his youth and killing the victims of his crimes for decades, and would regularly powerful people to KillAndReplace with his own foot soldiers. Subjecting his cult members to soul exchanging with animals for weeks on end to break their will and turn them into his "drones", [[BadBoss Rainey]] also would callously dictate which bodies his servants would switch into and when, uncaring of their consent in the matter. Rainey soon declared war on Zackariah Webb for trying to retrieve the Exchanger, and murdered many of Webb's associates before assassinating the man's wife and threatening his young daughter, uncaring if his own cult died in the process [[ItsAllAboutMe as long as he secured his own power base over all he saw fit]].
