* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad King Herod]] is the tyrannical and blasphemous ruler of Judea, who ruthlessly taxes his already impoverished people to fund the construction of his own temples and palaces, and orders that anyone who cannot pay have their [[MadeASlave families forced into slavery]] or their animals slaughtered. However, he is most concerned with a prophecy that a Messiah will arise from the town of Bethlehem, ordering a census so he may track any men of power returning there, outlawing speak of the prophecy by punishment of [[ColdBloodedTorture crucifixion]], and even threatening his own son with death if he does not continue to prove himself useful. When TheThreeWiseMen tell him that the Messiah they seek is a child, Herod lies and says he is looking for the Messiah too, and that they should return to him after he is found. When the Wise Men do not return, Herod commands that all the [[WouldHurtAChild children under the age of two in Bethlehem be slaughtered]].
