10!!Ashgan the Demon Sword
11!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RintarouNishii (JP), Creator/JarrodGreene (EN)
12[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ashgan.JPG]]
13[[caption-width-right:350: [[labelnote:Click here to see Ashgan's ''released'' body]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ashgan_true_form.jpg]][[/labelnote]] ]]
14
15Asghan the Demon Sword is a malevolent, cursed blade of mass destruction whose true power is kept sealed by the Velvette clan. After the clan's near destruction, Ashgan was taken care off by [[Characters/TheWitchAndTheBeastWitches Helga]]. [[spoiler:Later on he was put into safekeeping by the Paladin Corps. Didn't stop Angela and co from breaching it and attempting to steal both him and the innumerable cursed artifacts within the Paladin's safekeep.]]
16----
17* AbsurdlySharpBlade: As the demon sword to end all demon swords, Ashgan [[spoiler:in released form shows how ridiculously/absurdly sharp his blade is. A single ''glance'' (not even a ''swing'') was enough to create an artificial canyon and completely bifurcate an entire town, the Paladin's floating castle battleship, the gigantic magical barrier housing the ruckus, ''plus the neighbouring mountain'' in two.]]
18* AndIMustScream: Being trapped and sealed in an immobile sword would do wonders for the sanity of any person. Fortunately for Ashgan, there are perks to being nonhuman.
19* ArtifactOfAttraction: Humans near the sealed Ashgan will begin to desire it, eventually fighting one another to claim it as their own. Ashgan doesn't seem to have any control over this, as he loudly rejects being used by a human and demands Helga reclaim him.
20* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: For all the banter between Helga and Ashgan, [[spoiler:Asgan's distraught and fear of the envoy using Ashgan himself to backstab Helga in the back so as to break the seal was truly emotional.]]
21* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Ashgan technically has the power to corrupt the much inexperienced Helga if needed, but chose not to because she was the only one who took pity at his predicament.
22* {{BFS}}: ''THE'' god of giant bloody swords.
23* TheCorruptor: Well...Ashgan would ''like'' to corrupt Helga. But given that she was the only one in her clan to take sympathy for him, he essentially relinquished his goals in taking over after getting [[spoiler: thoroughly beaten to a pulp by an awakened Guideau.]]
24* TheDarkArts: It has been repeated often that trying to unseal Ashgan is not a good idea. [[spoiler:Didn't stop the envoy in attempting to control it.]]
25* DeadpanSnarker: For a demonic sword of mass destruction, Ashgan sure has a personality.
26* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:Guideau in awakened form managed to beat the shit out of a full-released mind-controlled Ashgan. Afterwards, Ashgan gives up on trying to free itself and submits his fate to be transferred to the Paladin Corps for safekeeping.]]
27* EldritchAbomination: Even in unreleased form, Ashgan's nature makes him an unholy tool that should be kept a hundred meters away. [[spoiler:In his released form, he looks like something out of ''Berserk''.]]
28* EvilIsNotAToy: A subdued example, Helga never treated Asghan so carelessly like a toysword, but their banter kind of makes one forget that she is carrying a sword that could slice the planet in half.
29* EvilWeapon: With a name like Ashgan ''the Demon Sword'', do you expect anything less?
30* HumanSacrifice: [[spoiler:One of the ways to unseal Ashgan is to use him to stab the heart of a witch before needing countless human sacrifices to fuel his everlasting hunger for destruction.]]
31* MoralityPet: Considers Helga to be one.
32* {{Kaiju}}: [[spoiler:In his released form, Asghan is a towering monstrosity the size of Godzilla.]]
33* OddFriendship: You wouldn't expect that a cursed sword of mass wanton destruction would have quite the chummy relation with a young witch desperate in getting a boyfriend now would you?
34* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:His released form truly puts the word ''demonic'' in demon sword.]]
35* SealedEvilInACan: Asghan's true power and body was sealed by the cooperative effort of an entire clan of witches called the Velvettes.
36* UnholyNuke: Is obviously treated and viewed as such by both the Velvettes and the Paladin Corps. It is a Death Star that could talk.
37* WeaponOfMassDestruction: THE weapon of mass destruction that is capable of carving the planet to pieces if he wants to.
38* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Ashgan is confused by the fact that he feels an emotion other than "hate" for Helga and expresses some distaste for it.

41[[folder:The Doll]]
42!!The Doll
43[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_doll.JPG]]
44
45The Doll is a cursed object in the shape of a human-sized doll. The identity of the Doll is not yet known other than the fact that it was previously a human female who was cursed and sealed within this body frame. Once housed in a private magical antique shop, the Doll would then be transferred into Ashaf's flat.
46----
47* AndIMustScream: Heavily subverted, she bares no signs of insanity for being cursed inside a doll for eternity. She even jokes that Guideau destroying the bodyframe would do her more good.
48* CreepyDoll: Subverted, for a life-sized doll that can create the uncanny valley, the ''actual'' personality of the Doll is quite friendly and overly talkative.
49* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Is quickly becoming this as the Doll's antics creates a very awkward situation for Guideau and the team.
50* MotorMouth: Much to Guideau's chagrin as she is the only one whose senses are sensitive enough to hear what the Doll is saying.
51* NiceGirl: Pretty friendly, if overly talkative.
52* PimpedOutDress: The Doll wears a very nice victorian-era gown.
53* ThePollyanna: For someone whose soul is trapped for god knows how long in an immobile life-sized doll. The Doll seems to be very overly curious and enthusiastic about her predicament.
54* SoulJar: A quite ''literal'' example.

57[[folder:Jeff Enker]]
58!!Jeff Enker
59!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HozumiGoda (JP), Jeff Plunk (EN)
60[[quoteright:588:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jeff_enker.PNG]]
61
62A police sergeant who contacts the Order of Magical Resonance to help deal with a rampant undead problem in his home city.
63----
64* InnocentlyInsensitive: Repeatedly refers to the undead as "creatures" or "monsters", which Johan tells him not to do around Phanora if he wants to stay on good terms with her.
65* TheLostLenore: His fiancé passed away sometime before the start of the series. Enker had been contemplating the idea of turning her into an undead before ultimately deciding against it, and is furious with the unauthorized necromancer for doing so without his consent.
66* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:He signs a contract with Phanora to keep quiet about her killing the unauthorized necromancer so that the Order of Magical Resonance can continue doing their work unimpeded, with her also throwing in the offer to make Enker's fiancé a registered undead]].
67[[/folder]]
68
69[[folder:The Unauthorized Necromancer]]
70!!The Unauthorized Necromancer
71!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NozomuSasaki (JP), Barry Yandell (EN)
72[[quoteright:921:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/necromancerunnamed.PNG]]
73
74An unauthorized necromancer who had been illegally raising undead for his own twisted ends, until the Order of Magical Resonance catches wind of his actions and sends Phanora to deal with him.
75----
76* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He gets mutilated to near death by Johan and turned into one of Phanora's undead servants after she kills him so she can make him suffer for all eternity. No tears have to be shed for a dirtbag like him, especially not after all the horrible crimes he's committed]].
77* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:He dies from Phanora putting a bullet in his head shortly after Johan finishes mutilating him]].
78* BullyingADragon: He makes the mistake of repeatedly antagonizing Phanora, who is both the world's greatest necromancer and a witch. [[spoiler:She makes him pay for it with ''far'' more than just his life]].
79* FacialHorror: [[spoiler:Gets both of his eyes gouged out and his mouth ripped off by Johan. Surprisingly, he's still alive even after this and only dies when Phanora puts a bullet in his head]].
80* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Phanora turns him into one of her undead servants after she kills him and forces him to maintain all the undead he resurrected as complete human beings, all the while promising to make him suffer for the rest of eternity even if his soul should return to the void]].
81* KickTheDog: He resurrects Enker's late fiancé to keep him in check, then later uses her to try and kill him.
82* LackOfEmpathy: He's been raising dozens of undead for the sake of honing his skills and letting them run rampant without maintaining them, all the while uncaring of the consequences of his actions or what happens to souls that get pulled away from the afterlife. Phanora, Johan, and Enker all consider him a scumbag of the highest order for it.
83* TheLostLenore: He lost his wife in a fire sometime before the start of the series, and since then has been trying to find suitable women to graft their parts onto her now skeletonized body to restore her lost beauty. [[spoiler:The fact that he's willing to make her into one of his combat undeads as a last line of defense strongly implies that he never really loved her as much as he claimed, with Johan even lampshading it]].
84* MuggingTheMonster: He tries making a hostage out of Johan, who unbeknownst to him is [[spoiler:a powerful and specially maintained undead]]. It ends in the latter easily breaking out of his confinement and cornering his captor when he tries to make a run for it.
85* NoNameGiven: His name is never given in-story.
86* SerialKiller: His targets for resurrection are mostly redheaded women, and he's implied to have been behind several murders of living ones as well. The reason for this is because his late wife was also one.
87* SmallNameBigEgo: Definitely thinks he is above the rest when he really is, at best, mediocre for a necromancer.
88* SmugSnake: He considers himself a powerful necromancer capable of performing feats greater than anyone before him. He [[VillainousBreakdown quickly loses this attitude]] once [[AlwaysABiggerFish Phanora shows just how much of an amateur he really is compared to a true professional like her]].
89* UndeadAbomination: His "combat undeads", a series of undeads outfitted with grotesque body proportions and weapons to make them suitable for fighting. They don't hold a candle to Phanora's Death Knights, [[CurbStompBattle who slaughter them all in seconds]].
90* VillainsWantMercy: He begs Johan not to hurt him when the latter corners him and reveals to him his true nature after escaping. Johan has none of it, especially not after [[BullyingADragon his captor pissed Phanora off as much as what he did]].
91* VillainousBreakdown: He devolves into a panicking mess upon finding out that Phanora is a witch and her Death Knights make quick work of all his combat undeads, with him practically begging for his life when Johan corners him after he effortlessly escapes from captivity and he reveals to him his own true nature.

93
94[[folder:Misha]]
95!!Misha
96[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/misha.JPG ]]
97
98The house keeper that Ashaf and Guideau stay in and the manager's daughter. She is a young woman who constantly takes care of whatever mess Guideau is causing in their flat.
99----
100* TheCaretaker: Takes care of the food and living expenses. May patch up Guideau's wounds and cleans up her room if given the chance.
101* TheFashionista: If you wonder where Guideau got all her nice clothes from. Now you know.
102* KindlyHousekeeper: Both very nice and courteous and the guardian of the flat that Ashaf and Guideau is staying in.
103* NiceGirl: Very much so as not even Guideau would lay a hand on her. That and the fact that she is the daughter of the manager for the Order which grants her some immunity.
104

106
107[[folder:Mysterious Boy]]
108!!Mysterious Boy
109[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mysterious_boy.JPG]]
110
111
112A mysterious boy who was 'born' from a forbidden instrument and quickly grew to the body of a ten year-old after [[spoiler:Angela and co breached the Paladin Corp's safekeep and stoled some forbidden items]]. Not much is known about him other than he is highly susceptible to magic due to his magical nature and Guideau must take care of him.
113----
114* AmplifierArtifact: One of the reason why Guideau needs to take care of him is because she doesn't expel any form of magic at all.
115* ArtificialHuman: Born from a forbidden instrument. He may ''look'' human, but his nature is anything but.
116* ArtifactOfDoom: May or may not become one due to his origins as a forbidden instrument.
117* ClingyChild: He grew pretty damn close to Guideau. Even sleeping with her in her own bed without her knowledge.
118* ConstantlyCurious: As expected for someone that grows extremely rapidly, especially when absorbing magic.
119* CreepyChild: Downplayed. Yes, his large empty eyes, perpetual muteness and status as a living forbidden artefact may make him creepy. But his behaviour is like that of any curious child of his age.
120* DreamStealer: A rare positive example. The Doll informed Guideau that when the Mysterious Boy sleeps with her, he unknowingly removes her nightmares, preventing the usual violent fits that she is known for in her sleep.
121* EmptyEyes: Has two large, black empty eyes.
122* GooGooGodlike: He is a little kid with the power to NoSell the most powerful magics even from other forbidden artefacts and witches.
123* HumanWeapon: A magical version of this.
124* LikeBrotherAndSister: His relationship with Guideai is quickly becoming like this despite only staying for a few days with her.
125* MagicEater: What makes him so dangerous in the wrong hands, and why Guideau is in charge of taking care of him. He is able to absorb all types of magic, mimic them and then fire it right back at them. An example of this is when he successfully copied ''Helga's flying Zweihanders'' and even made a miniature version of this as a gift to Misha. He basically acts like a giant magical sponge and may potentially become a [=WMD=] if he is unable to control the magical absorbtion.
126* MessyHair: His hair is very messy, justified since he was born literally ''ten days ago''.
127* OurHomunculiAreDifferent: He is, by definition, a homonculus that has the powers to absorb magic and redirect them at the owner.
128* RapidAging: Born ten days ago and already has the body of a ten year-old.
129* StaringKid: Is prone to this.
130* TykeBomb: Quickly revealed that he is a forbidden instrument and weapon when he grows up, so he needs to be under supervision by the Order to ensure malign entities don't grab their hands on him.
131* TheQuietOne: Doesn't seem to talk much from what we see.

135[[folder:Owent Farmington]]
136!!Owent Farmington
137!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AimiTanaka (JP)
138[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/owent.JPG]]
139
140
141Falvell's younger brother. Because he is a boy, Owent was not cursed to be mute and acts as his sister's 'voice' when it comes to daily conversations with strangers. Due to his sister's curse and vulnerability, he is forced to take charge in defending her from suspicious towns folks.
142----
143* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Heavily subverted as Owent is just as responsible as his sister.
144* BrotherSisterTeam: Both he and Falvell have to work together to survive an increasingly hostile town.
145* [[BigBrotherInstinct Little Brother Instinct]]: Even though he is younger, Owent has to defend his sister as best as he can from accusations against the towns folks.
146* BigLittleBrother: By the time we have seen the siblings again, it is assumed a year or two has passed. By this point, Owent is a good few inches taller than his sister.
147* TheBusCameBack: We didn't know what has happened to the siblings. However, they returned in Chapter 51, with the two living in a safe house until unknown marauders threatened to harm them.
148* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Was on the receiving end of this when the Executioners wanted to lure Falvell out of the woods to kill her.]]
149* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Is this to his sister. [[spoiler:When he was impaled and presumed dead, it broke Falvell on an emotional and mental level.]]
150* MatureYoungerSibling: For a kid who looks like he is around ten years of age, Owent is shockingly quite mature.
151* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:You would think that being impaled by a giant greatsword in the chest would be enough to kill a kid. Fortunately, Falvell manage to unwind the wounds by ''talking it out of existence.'']]

159!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunkoMinagawa (JP), Morgan Laure (EN)
160[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kiera_haines.JPG]]
161
162A detective for the Hayden Police Department who also moonlights as a private detective. She is active in solving a string of murders that are connected to the witch responsible for the deaths of both her sons and her husband Reuben.
163----
164* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: She already looks quite young to be a mother. [[spoiler:The twins outright admitting that she is too young for motherhood all but confirms that the Twins were adopted.]]
165* MamaBear: Part of the reason why she is so adamant in capturing the Witch of Hayden is because said witch was responsible for the murders of both her adopted sons and husband. [[spoiler:In a way, she was somewhat correct in her assessment.]]
166* OutlivingOnesOffspring: A reason why she has such a conviction in hunting down the witch. [[spoiler:Played straight when she personally offs them off with an assault rifle after their crimes were exposed.]]
167* PrivateDetective: She is both part of the police department and a private detective on her own part.
168* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler:After finding out that Shulk and Loran were the true culprits behind the murders of Reuben and countless other innocent people, she deems them too far gone to be forgiven for their crimes and personally kills the both of them]].
169* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:A justified example. She is the one who puts the final bullets to both her sons' brains once their crimes were exposed, having deemed their crimes to be unforgivable.]]
170[[/folder]]
171
172[[folder:Witch of Hayden/[[spoiler:Shulk and Loran Haines]] ]]
173!!Witch of Hayden/[[spoiler:Shulk and Loran Haines]]
174[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/witch_of_hayden.JPG]]
175[[caption-width-right:350: [[labelnote:Click here to see the Witch's true identity.]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shulk_and_loran.JPG]][[/labelnote]] ]]
176
177A witch plaguing Hayden, the capital city of the island of Pheres. Also known as the Passtime Witch, she is responsible for a slew of random murders that are only related through a bunch of cryptic messages. [[spoiler:It turns out that the "witch" isn't a witch at all, but is instead Shulk and Loran Haines who faked their deaths and had been masquerading as a witch to sustain the deal between them and the Sarnouasuth Grimoire granting them their magical abilities.]]
178----
179* AdoptionAngst: [[spoiler:With the twins stating that Kiera was "too young" to be a mother and that Kiera herself stating that she "took them in", it is heavily hinted that the twins were adopted by Kiera and Reuben at a much younger age.]]
180* BeyondRedemption: [[spoiler:Both twins are deemed this by Kiera, who proceeds to put bullets in both of their heads]].
181* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:The fate of the twins once Kiera realizes that they're at the point of no return.]]
182* TheCorrupter: [[spoiler:How much of the twins' actions was based on genuine sociopathy or was the result of the Grimoire corrupting them is in the air. However, given their pointless murder spree, it is very likely that they ''were'' corrupted by the Grimoire's influence]].
183* EnfantTerrible: [[spoiler:How innocent they were before the Grimoire corrupted them is unknown, since by the time we meet them they've grown to become absolute monsters.]]
184* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: [[spoiler:A dark and corrupted example. The twins went on a killing spree because they didn't like the idea of their stepfather Reuben, or anyone else for that matter, getting too close to Kiera. However, such an excuse is ''way'' too flimsy to stand by itself given how disproportionate it is, so it is likely to be a diversion created by the Grimoire's influence.]]
185* EvilTwin: [[spoiler:''Both'' twins turn out to be quite the sadistic bastards once their getup is exposed.]]
186* FakeWizardry: Sort of. [[spoiler:The witchcraft getup is all bullshit, but the magic itself from the Grimoire is still very much real.]]
187* HumanSacrifice: [[spoiler:The primary reason why the twins are so hell-bent in committing mass murder is so they can repay a blood debt to the Sarnouasuth Grimoire in return for them using its power.]]
188* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:The "witch" is revealed to actually be the Haines twins who were thought to have been among the witch's victims. Turns out they faked their own deaths so they could role-play their sick and twisted game.]]
189* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:The Sarnouasuth Grimoire is a set of two Grimiores that is most likely sentient and very much evil and corrupting in influence. As a Grimiore, it acts as a proxy for magic powers and spellcasting so that even dunces like the twins could use it like that of a proper witch.]]
190* SerialKiller: Very much so.
191* SmallNameBigEgo: [[spoiler:The twins really made a name for themselves for a while. But once Ashaf and Guideau figure out their true nature, it doesn't take long for them to get smashed.]]
192* SpaceMaster: [[spoiler:A limited example, but spatial vanishing magic is the Grimiore's specialty and is how the twins managed to always teleport and disappear like smoke.]]
193* SpellBook: [[spoiler:The Sarnouasuth Grimoire is a very dark example and the first hint that forbidden equipment should not be carelessly used with abundance.]]
194* WitchClassic: Is depicted as a classical shadowy robed figure with an extremely old-looking face like Baba Yaga. [[spoiler:This foreshadows the "witch" to be a fake as there is no such thing as a hideous witch in this setting.]]
195* WickedWitch: Possibly the most stereotypical example. [[spoiler:A hint that this "witch" is anything but.]]

203
204A member of the Vagner Police Force. Marda is an eccentric but powerful mage who came to investigate the altercation between the Witch's Disciple and the Order of Magical Resonance. She often goes along with Lt. Joz for assistance.
205
206----
207* ActionGirl: Par for the course of this manga. Although Marda goes one step further by bringing a baseball bat to a magic fight.
208* BatterUp: Uses a baseball bat as her primary weapon.
209* BuddyCopShow: Has this relationship with Lt. Joz.
210* CombatStilettos: She wears high-heels in the middle of a high-level magic fight between mages, one of which transformed into a ''dragon''.
211* CoolShades: So cool that her shades seem impervious from the gravitational affects of Stayler Allman's compression magic.
212* TheFashionista: Just look at her outfit. No one would have suspected her to be a cop to begin with.
213* MilitaryMage: Downplayed, she is a mage from the police force however.
214* SunglassesAtNight: She wears a prominent sunglass at ''night''.
215* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Joz's red.
216* TomboyishPonytail: Sports an incredibly long ponytail that would reach down her waist if she let her hair down.

228* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Marda's blue.
229* MessyHair: His hair is often messy and unkempt.
230* MilitaryMage: Downplayed, he is a mage from the police force however.
231* OnlySixFaces: He looks suspiciously similar to Johan. What being both broody men with messy black hair that follows a female lead. The only difference is that Johan wears an eyepatch and that he is far more chill than Joz.
