5!!Antagonists
6!!!'''Enforcer'''
7[[folder:As a Group]]
8 An enigmatic race tied to the vision orb system of justice, enforcers are the beings who carry out the sentences handed down by the world's populace. When a person is deemed a transgressor, enforcers appear at their location and make them disappear. In truth, those who disappear are painfully killed. Enforcers are not immortal, however; they can be defeated, allowing a transgressor respite. Particularly fervent condemnations can call an even larger enforcer called an "Enforcer EX".
9----
10* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Enforcers operate under a very narrow view of morality, in that they basically only operate under the view of "all transgressors are bad". It doesn't matter the circumstances of why someone is labeled one, or how young/old they are, all transgressors are bad and need to be killed. They will act in self-defense, as shown when they retaliate against Luke, Jade, and Asbel during Chapter Four, but this rigid view is criticized by the heroes because of how blatantly broken the Vision Orbs are.
11* TheSpeechless: They never speak a single word when they appear to capture a transgressors and kill them.
12* OurAngelsAreDifferent: The exact nature of what Enforcers are is not yet clear, but they are treated and framed as being angelic in nature. They "descend" from above to cleanse evil, wear white garbs that have the appearance of something framed as holy in nature, and they are often associated with using light themed attacks.
13* ThePowerOfHate: They are brought into being and empowered by the populace's hatred of Trangressors and their demand for them to be punished.
14* WouldHurtAChild: In Farah's side story, it is revealed that the Enforcers have no problem killing children with the Stain of Guilt before they reach adulthood.

17[[folder:Makina]]
18!!Makina
19!!!'''Element:''' Light\
20'''Voiced by''': Creator/AoiYuuki\
21'''Character Design''': Daigo Okumura
22[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/makina_3.png]]
23
24A a little girl who is the commander of the enforcers, chasing after Kanata Hjuger and his party with incredibly strong intent of killing them.
25----
26* AmbiguousCloneEnding: In "Bad People", Makina mentions the "old Makina" broke and she's the "new Makina". It is unknown whether Makina is actually clone copied from the original Makina, or if her conscious was transferred into a new body after her previous body was damaged.
27* AmbiguousInnocence:
28** Makina has a child like nature to her, that when mixed with her unrepentant love of killing, results in her coming across as almost ignorant about her actions. She enjoys what she is doing, and having been created by the Enforcers to do so, its treated by herself as simply what she does best. This unnerves everyone present when they meet her.
29** [[spoiler: Further explored when [[PapaWolf Orwin]] meets her and doesn't wish to fight on account of her being a child. He attempts to [[DefusingTheTykeBomb convince her not to fight]], which genuinely confuses her as she isn't aware there are other ways to act. She isn't able to truly process it before she is turned into a living bomb by Forte and Assid.]]
30* ArtificialHuman: Eleanor explains in Chapter 7 that she was a special Enforcer made by Forte and Assid.
31* TheDragon: To King Gadel.
32* EvenEvilHasStandards: Makina refuses to kill Winn because he's not a transgressor and he didn't do anything bad. When Winn then commits suicide by jumping off a cliff, she looks disturbed.
33* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While loved is too much of a word, she does have some degree of affection for Eleanor. When both Forte and Assid actions drove her away. She displays some concern for her and says that she liked it better when Eleanor was happy. Both Forte and Assid take advantage of this to encourage her to start killing on the basis that it would make Eleanor happy.
34* {{Expy}}: Of Alice from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld''. Makina is a sadistic little girl working for the primary antagonists organization who acts like a cute little girl just like Alice, and not only does she share similar physical characteristics, but she also fights using a monster under her control while being mostly a spellcaster.
35* TheFakeCutie: Makina, a powerful and blood-hungry Enforcer, who takes the appearance of a little girl.
36* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler:Makina almost did this after Orwin manages to reason with her until Assid activates a self-destruction mechanism inside of Makina and kills her.]]
37* TheNicknamer: Makina has a habit give nicknames to her enemies out of affection or scorn. Makina refers to Kanata as "Kanny-tan", to Yuna as "Boingy Lady", to Aegis as Snooty Guy (originally called Mister Sir Knight) and to Misella as "Not Boingy Lady".
38* PromotedToPlayable: After her official debut in Chapter 3, Makina become playable character and was released as Half Anniversary for 2021.
39* {{Sadist}}: In one of Makina's episodes, "Killer of Transgressors", Makina is a sadist who torments other transgressors by playing a "game" with them, breaking their limbs before killing them instantly. She enjoys seeing the transgressor's despair and pain she causes them before she ends them.
40* {{Tykebomb}}: She was created by the Enforcers to serve as a weapon for them, something she reveals when she fights the heroes while in the Nation of Sin.

43[[folder:Kasque]]
44!!Kasque
45!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/AiNonaka\
46'''Character Design''': Daigo Okumura
47[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kasque.png]]
48
49A mysterious woman who is a part of the Administrators of World Order. It is unknown whether they are the same person or she was simply named after them, but according to Aegis Alver, Kasque was the name of a god who bestowed vision orbs unto the world.
50----
51* AGodAmI: While she doesn't outright state she is for sure a God, she directly states that she is what people could call a God.
52* AmbiguouslyEvil: While she is supposed to be something of a God who gave the world vision orbs, Kanata is confused on what her motives are, feeling that she isn't really evil. She comments on wanting to make a peaceful world, but refuses to comment further because it would "make him mad", leaving it unclear what her motives are and if she is truly evil. [[spoiler: Less ambiguous after the end of Chapter 10, with the reveal of her plan to unite humanity through placing them at the brink of destruction and framing the party as the ones responsible.]]
53* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Chapter 10 reveals she, along with Milla, were created to be as close to ideal as possible so they could have a human capable of using every aspect of Mana so as to defeat the Dreadfang.]]
54* BigBad: The creator of Vision Orbs, and thus the one responsible for the setting being as it is. When confronted with this fact, she decides to become more active again, working on a new replacement for Vision Orbs. Chapter 10 calls into question her role as it, but she remains the closest thing to this role.
55* BrilliantButLazy: She's incredibly powerful and easily could have killed the heroes, but she really doesn't like having to put up the energy to do so.
56* CleavageWindow: She wears an outfit that exposes her cleavage and [[UnderBoobs underside of her boobs]].
57* FlirtingUnderFire: When she fights Vicious, she spends most of it making flirty compliments about him, even as she tries to kill him.
58* DeityOfHumanOrigin: [[spoiler:Chapter 10 reveals that, according to some history books, Kasque was a normal human until the Dreadfang arrived and began causing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, at which point she volunteered to become a God to drive it back and protect mankind. Milla later clarifies this to be the case, as both she and Kasque were meant to become essentially a God for humanity during a time where they needed one, but Kasque tricked Milla into being skipped over so Milla could have a normal life]].
59* JerkassGods: She's the one who created the vision orbs and the system that perpetuates their use. Even so, she's entirely apathetic to the conditions and suffering it's caused. She's also a BadBoss, as seen when Forte and Assid -- who are completely devoted to Kasque and summoned her in the first place -- get casually slapped away because she finds them annoying. [[spoiler:Her actions in the current day convince Milla that something is wrong with Kasque, since Kasque wasn't like that, and thinks Kasque either is being manipulated, or influenced somehow.]]
60* StopWorshippingMe: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. She doesn't deny being somewhat of a God, but she gets annoyed at Forte and Assid for their overly zealot behavior several times. [[spoiler:Given she used to be mostly a normal woman who never really wanted the role, it makes sense she dislikes such worship]].
61* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:Chapter 10 shows that, in the past, she used to be a somewhat blunt and socially awkward, but overall caring person, especially to Milla. Milla is startled by her current actions, feeling she may be manipulated]].
62* WellIntentionedExtremist: Her motives are revealed to be this. [[spoiler: She united the world and created the Vision Orbs, but after seeing how broken the system was due to humans abusing them or giving into the pressure to condemn others, she realized she needed to reunite mankind against a single threat so the Vision Orbs could be removed. She does this by causing such world wide damage that mankind would have no choice but to collectively have a single enemy to stop, like she did with the Dreadfang, believing it to be the only way of stopping the violent system.]]
63* WorfHadTheFlu: {{Implied}}. [[spoiler:Although Vicious manages to overpower her using his SuperMode]], Kasque's comments when she first appears and after imply she has only recently woken up and isn't really ready to fight. She even comments something to the effect of "Oh yeah, this is how you fight", implying she hasn't done so in a long time.

71
72An villager, who killed an old lady while stealing in a shop.
73----
74* KilledOffScreen: He gets killed by an Enforcer in their dimension.
75* RedShirt: He exists primarily to show off the Enforcers and what happens to somebody when they're caught by one.
76* StarterVillain: The first enemy encountered by Kanata in the story.

78
79[[folder:Cody Hjuger]]
80!!Cody Hjuger
81!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/TakuyaKirimoto
82[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cody_hjuger.png]]
83
84Father of Kanata, and the leader of Dalchia village.
85----
86* DidntSeeThatComing: He wasn't expecting his own son killing him before he dies from his wounds.
87* EvilOldFolks: While not ''that'' old, Cody is well aware that his time is coming, and wants Kanata to take the mantle of his child trafficking operation.
88* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Downplayed. Although Cody human traffics children into slavery to wealthy buyers, he does love his own children deeply. The reason he never sells his son Kanata is because he wants him take over the family business when he passes away. Though due to the misconceptions he has about his son's morality, this comes off as him [[LovingAShadow loving his twisted image]] of Kanata rather than what Kanata is really like. It is unknown if Cody's love for his daughter [[spoiler:Sonia]] is genuine or not since he never told his son about her.
89* FauxAffablyEvil: Seemingly a friendly figure of the village, Cody's actually a nasty sociopath who isn't afraid to harm children, nor his own son, to meet his goals.
90* KnightOfCerebus: The reveal of his true motives marks the point where the game goes from somewhat lighthearted, to full-on dark.
91* HumanTraffickers: Makes a living secretly selling children from his orphanage as either labor slaves or sexual slaves to wealthy buyers.
92* NightmareFetishist: He tells Kanata to cut off Misella's limbs in order to keep a piece of her to remember her by. This shows that Cody isn't as [[MaskOfSanity sane]] as he tries to present himself.
93* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: While he may claim that he's giving the homeless children a purpose in life, and while he has given them food and shelter, at the end of the day, he's still a disgusting sadist who sells these kids into slavery, not even minding when some are killed for their organs.
94* PsychologicalProjection: He seems to believe Kanata is similar to him in [[BitchInSheepsClothing faking kindness]] to manipulate the children for his own self-gain and that Kanata is capable of becoming a child-trafficker. He's posthumously [[NotSoSimilar proven wrong]] when Kanata is willing to ruin his public image and shoulder his status as a Transgressor in order to continue helping others.
95* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: His child trafficking behavior is why he is so reviled, leading his son to kill him.
96* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Along with the above, he has no qualms about knowingly selling children into sex slavery or as [[MaritalRapeLicense "brides".]] He was specifically going to sell Misella into this, driving Kanata into rage.
97* SmallRoleBigImpact: Only appears in the first Chapter, but it was the reveal of his operation that kickstarts the plot, with Kanata and Misella becoming transgressors for killing him.
98* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He is loved by the Dalchia villagers without knowing his true motives of human trafficking.

104[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gadel.png]]
105
106The King of of Kingdom of Medagal, and the husband of Queen Rebecca.
107----
108* AmbiguouslyBi: Queen Rebecca implies he is interested in both men and women. She explains that he makes people his personal playthings because of their beauty, regardless of gender.
109* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite hating transgressors, he's no different than them. He murders his wife just to make Aegis a transgressor to punish him for loving each other, and wipes out an entire nation of defenseless people just because they had past crimes.
110* KnightTemplar: Despises transgressors, and is willing to annihilate the Nation of Sin just to get rid of them, despite the fact that they were just decent people trying to live out a new peaceful life free of crime.
111* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He has scientists who work on making Enforcers, but he doesn't seem to be completely informed about how this process works nor is he aware of all of their projects. He doesn't mind being in the dark, since he expects that all of their experiments will work out in his favor.
112* RapePillageAndBurn: Sends specially made Enforcers completely wipe out the denizens of the Nation of Sin, leaving behind only the heroes and Meakyu as the only survivors.
113* TrophyWife: How he views Rebecca and his previous mates. He only admires them for their beauty, nothing else, and will gladly murder or toss them aside should they not remain loyal to him, or when he grows bored of them.
114* WouldHurtAChild: As Leon's side story shows, Gadel has young children with Somatic powers abducted from villages and experimented on.

118!!Forte and Assid
119!!!'''Element:''' Earth (Forte), Water (Assid)\

121
122[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/forte_and_assid.png]]
123[[caption-width-right:300:Forte (Right); Assid (Left)]]
124A pair of twins and lead scientists of Medagal working for King Gabel.
125----
126* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: They are mirror images of each other and can be told apart by their hair styles and the positions of their moles.
127* ArcVillain: Of Chapters 6 and 7.
128* BrainsAndBrawn: Villain example. They are lead scientists of Medagal working for King Gabel and the creators of Makina, who kills transgressors. Forte is the brains since he's the smart one, his twin brother Assid is the brawn since he's interested in fighting and he's not as smart as his twin brother.
129* CombinationAttack: Assid and Forte share the same Mystic Artes, "Xenomalenifica". It allows them to attack a single enemy together, with Forte attacking first and Assid delivering the final blow with his magic.
130* TheCorruptor: They want to ensure that ALL their creations are loyal to them and ensure that they do nothing but follow their orders no matter how vile it is. When Makina had just been created, Eleanor tried to teach her about human morals and how there are other better things in life than just fighting and killing. The two of them did not take kindly to this and separated them immediately. When Makina was curious about why Eleanor ran of in anger at them, the two took advantage of this moment to try and encourage her to start killing.
131* TheDividual: As a case of GameplayAndStorySegregation. In the story, the two are never apart. In gameplay, it's possible to have a party with one but not the other.
132* GuestStarPartyMember: They appear as guest characters in the Normal difficulty version of Chapter 6, Stage 8.
133* HandsomeLech: Assid is a womanizer, enjoys flirting with women and tries to find his soulmate to be with.
134* {{Irony}}: They go through great lengths to try and bring about their "Goddess" while claiming to be devote followers of her. [[spoiler: When she appears after their plans are ruined, she attacks them because they annoyed her]].
135* NightmareSequence: Ten years ago, after Forte and Assid's parents were murdered by a single bandit, Forte started having nightmares about the killing.
136* ParentalAbandonment: In one of Forte's episodes, "Shared History", Forte and Assid's parents were killed by a lowly bandit ten years ago while Forte and Assid were off hunting.
137* PolarOppositeTwins:
138** Assid appears to be jovial, with an energetic personality. He is the more casual of the twins, contrasting well with his slightly stricter brother.
139** Forte appears to be stoic and disciplined. He is the stricter of the twins, contrasting well with his more casual brother.
140* PromotedToPlayable: After their official debut in Chapter 6, Forte and Assid become playable characters and was released as Half Anniversary for 2021.
141* SurvivorGuilt: Assid still feels guilty over not preventing his parent's deaths ten years ago. He asks Forte if they could have saved their parents from the bandit who murdered them if they hadn't left home to go hunting. Despite having nightmares about his past, Forte accepts that if he and Assid had stayed home, they would have been killed along with their parents.
142* WouldHurtAChild:
143** [[spoiler:Forte and Assid manipulate Sonia to use her to be the vessel of and fuse with the Enforcer EX. They do this to sacrifice her in order to destroy the entire population of Yednark and frame Kanata for it. They even encourage Kanata to kill his sister in order to save Yednark, but doing so would ruin Kanata's reputation further as the worst transgressor in history.]]
144** Forte and Assid don't care about saving or protect children, and are willing to use them as sacrifices in order to make people turn into transgressors and get executed by the Enforcers. They believe the children's lives are necessary sacrifices for their goddess' Kasque's sake.
145** In "True Fanaticism", Forte and Assid order an unnamed bandit to kill a child (who is the only survivor after bandits kill everyone in town) while they broadcast his actions with their vision orbs. He becomes a transgressor and is killed by the Enforcers. They even threaten the bandit that if he doesn't kill the child, they will force him to do it with torture more terrible than death.

150!!!'''Voiced by''': Ikuya Sawaki
151[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/senegal.png]]
152
153The Count of Northmine, with close ties to Luke fon Fabre, and a deep hatred toward the city of Southvein.
154----
155* ArcVillain: Of Chapter 4.
156* KarmaHoudini: InUniverse example. Although [[spoiler:Vicious kills him]], because the heroes are unable to expose him prior to this moment, he manages to get away with the destruction of Southvein since [[LoopholeAbuse technically he didn't do it]] but instead had Luke cause it by accident. Luke in particular is furious at this.
157* ManipulativeBastard: Senegal successfully manipulates Luke into causing a rocky avalanche over the city of Southvein in an attempt to kill its inhabitants, all under the guise of an act of peace. Luke, understandably, is pissed at this.
158* WouldHurtAChild: Has the children of Southvein massacred alongside the adults.

162!!Malcolm Sloat
163[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/malcolm_sloat.png]]
164
165A mad scientist who experiments on humans and monsters.
166----
167* ArcVillain: Of Chapter 5.
168* FauxAffablyEvil: Despite his easygoing personality, the game reminds the player that he's still responsible for horrific experimentations and the deaths of many.
169* ForScience: His ultimate excuse for what he does.
170* GreaterScopeVillain: Of Cress' side story, having been responsible for the creation of Ratatosk, and the one behind Mibaru's transformation.
171* HumanResources: Uses transgressors and other humans for his experiments, as he feels nobody will miss them.
172* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite feeling as though transgressors are so bad that nobody will notice if they're gone, Sloat himself is a sociopath who conducts experiments on people, like children, who aren't even transgressors, showing that he's far from above them.
173* MadScientist: One of the worst in the game, with countless deaths to his name.
174* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He claims that he's doing what he does in order to give humans the chance at changing their appearance in order to improve the human race, but he looks down upon those who aren't up to his scientific intellect, uses transgressors as guinea pigs because nobody will miss them, and isn't afraid to use children as lab rats.
175* VillainExitStageLeft: [[spoiler:After Kanata and the others defeats one of Malcolm's prototype experiments, Malcolm attempt to escape, but Kanata kill him.]]
176* WouldHurtAChild: Not afraid to use children for his experiments.
177[[/folder]]

181[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/esvanilla_skit.png]]
182
183A cruel man who sees only the dark side of humanity and intends to eradicate it.
184----
185* ArcVillain: Of Chapter 8.
186* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Esvanilla commits suicide by throwing himself off a ledge. According to Aegis, there's no way he can survive the fall.]]
187* EmotionEater: Played with. His truesight stone can cause a person's worst, darkest thoughts to coalesce as a black crystal. Said crystal can then be eaten by a monster, who gains that person's voice and the desire to kill them.
188* {{Foil}}: Lampshaded. He explicitly calls himself one to Kanata and his group, since Esvanilla intends to punish people who are abusing the vision orb system. But Esvanilla is doing it by murdering people, saying that he deserves to judge them, whereas Kanata's group (even [[TokenEvilTeammate Vicious]]) intend to tear down the whole system without killing innocent people.
189* GenderBlenderName: Averted, as Esvanilla isn't a real name, despite it sounding feminine.
190* {{Hypocrite}}: Denounces civilians for frivolously sentencing people to death via the vision orbs, yet does the exact same thing to them in return, using his truesight stone to act as judge, jury and executioner.
191* KillItWithFire: After feeding a person's black crystal to a monster, that monster can burn the target in flames.
192* FusionDance: [[spoiler:Esvanilla uses the truesight stone on himself and fuses with the King of Arabumi in order to kill Kanata.]]
193* MisanthropeSupreme: Esvanilla thinks humans are despicable and hideous creatures. [[spoiler:He wants to wipe out humanity and create a utopia without humans. Esvanilla's reason for hating humans started when they condemned his father for criticize someone disturbed artworks. They accused his father for censoring descanting art and was condemned on Vison Central.]]
194* PurpleProse: Vicious mocks him for "B-grade dramatic speech", as Esvanilla loves to pepper his speeches with overly dramatic descriptions and framing himself in the right.
195* {{Sadist}}: Esvanilla enjoys seeing his victims suffer and get killed by monsters after they eat their victim's darker inner thoughts.
196* WouldHurtAChild: Esvanilla is not beyond hurting and killing children. He has no problem using the truesight stone on Nash, feeding it to Graddic Claw, and attacking him. [[spoiler:He also kills Nash, though the hit was meant for Kanata. That said, Esvanilla doesn't feel bad about it.]]
