| 13 | -> ''"SEEKER's resources are invaluable and my division... We save people from [dying Seeds]. Yes, we conscript them, but with time perhaps we can change that…"'' |
| 14 | -->-- '''Laen Adaire''' |
| 15 | |
| 16 | A company that deals in the monitoring and maintenance of Seeds (and occasionally) sub-realms. Run and staffed by Arkn (as well as half-Arkn and humans), they are in charge of extracting Seeds that are nearing apocalypse stage, managing Outlier Seeds to make sure they have the "correct" lifespan, and sending non-humans to the Ythen for punishment. |
| 17 | ---- |
| 18 | * [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Corrupt Corporate Executives]]: So far, they seem to have Averted this...mostly. While Kitano and Ma'eve are responsible for running SEEKER and are indirectly responsible for the many ''massive'' losses of life that the company causes, they do not seem to be completely corrupt. However, Ma'eve does happen to be amoral concerning all the deaths caused by the company itself, and some of the other Moderators (such as Captain Ca'carcus) play this trope straight. |
| 19 | * EvilInc: Downplayed; while they aren't pure evil, they manufacture weapons (among other things), frequently wipe out planets on command (and sub-realms on commission), and many of their high-ranking officials seem fairly amoral. |
| 20 | * IntriguedByHumanity: SEEKER, despite having to wipe out human beings on an almost daily basis, truly does seem to be interested in Humanity as a whole and the talents they display. It's part of the reason why the Looker Division was founded: SEEKER wished to find humans with unique talents that could serve them (via the Faller Program). |
| 21 | * KlingonsLoveShakespeare: The Looker division engages in this a bit, if their behavior in the Arkn one-shot is anything to go by. Ma'eve mentions that they enjoy consuming human media, especially binging on human shows; she even walked on them watching ''Series/GameOfThrones''. |
| 22 | * LawEnforcementInc: They've been appointed by the Ythen to act as the self-contained "police force" of the Seeds, and have seemingly limitless resources. |
| 23 | * LawfulEvil: LawfulEvil: Of the Type 1 variety. Under order from the Ythen, they routinely "cull" Outlier Seeds that refuse to die; a necessary service, to be sure, but one which involves killing almost every living being on a planet – sparing only the "useful" individuals (whom they employ for their own purposes). |
| 24 | * MegaCorp: Though to a lesser degree than U.M.E.E.C., they sell high-tech weapons and other devices to the Arkn (developed by the Turncoder Division), and it's implied that Turncoder is still hard at work creating new variants of technology for the civilian market. They also employ refugees from razed Outlier Seeds, and use their vast resources to help them get back on their feet...though only if said refugees agree to work for the company. |
| 25 | * PressGanged: Humans from soon-to-be- culled Seeds who are deemed "valuable" (i.e. have skills that may be of use to the company) are "Raptured"; in other words, they're removed from the Seed and forced into the employ of SEEKER. |
| 26 | * PrivateMilitaryContractors: They utilize their own private armies to help exterminate Seeds, as well as training refugees, exploring sub-realms, and various other tasks. |
| 27 | * RecruitmentByRescue: A dark version of this: SEEKER "Raptures" humans and half-bloods from Seeds that are about to be culled; in exchange, they're expected to join the Faller Program and be trained for job. Those who refuse are abandoned on the nearest SEED. |
| 28 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: They seem to have this going on with U.M.E.E.C. The two groups will collaborate when we it comes to re-homing refugees (namely, half-Dekn from exterminated realms), but otherwise they can barely stand each other. Kind of understandable, given that U.M.E.E.C. is run in collaboration with the Dekn. |
| 29 | * WarForFunAndProfit: In addition to maintaining and policing the Seeds, SEEKER also manufactures weapons. |

| 50 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: He has shades of this. His mandates are responsible for the deaths of countless beings, and he's willing to make a deal with anyone, so long as it benefits SEEKER. To say nothing of his familial ties to the Miran’khai. |

| 64 | -->"I would also like to note that Ca'carcus spends too much time purchasing various entertainments for himself and his crew when he could be... what a revelation this might be to him... actually ''exploring'' other subrealms and performing the task we fucking paid him to do instead of partaking in various desires of the flesh." |
| 65 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: Name drops this quote at the end of the SEEKER oneshot. |
| 66 | * LadyOfWar: Tends to come off as this. She is withdrawn, but still no stranger to the battlefield, and is a tactical woman. |
| 67 | * NumberTwo: Acts as Kitano's second-in-command, basically functioning as Vice President of the company. |
| 68 | * SirSwearsALot: She swears a bit in the audio log meant to be sent to her boss. However, it's implied that she's rather familiar with Kitano, and thus feels more comfortable lapsing into inappropriate speech around him. |
| 69 | * NotSoStoic: Throughout the SEEKER oneshot, her narration and tone paint her as trying to appear [[TheStoic cold and detatched]] to her employees. In private, her mask slips and she often lapses into a more laid-back (yet still slightly formal) tone around Kitano. While she may also criticize the other employees of SEEKER heavily, she also shows appreciation of a few of them in private including complimenting For'ende's work on EXONA and praising Adrian Windward (one of the few humans at SEEKER) as "a credit to his race." |

| 130 | * TattooedCrook: Several of their higher-ups are tattooed with formal designs known to the Arkn as “Senshi’chir” (or “Warrior’s Skin”). These tattoos are often very intricate, including a Miran’khai’s family sigil or various other symbols of power from the Arkn culture. Religious symbols (such as Ele’pagi’s winged sword) are common. |

| 155 | ---- |
| 156 | * AmateurSleuth: He is presently helping 4-boy investigate the cult of Pascal D’Aramitz. |
| 157 | * BerserkButton: Don't ever call him a "Hurn", or imply that he's a thug or a common criminal; either one is a surefire way to catch his fists. |
| 158 | * CynicismCatalyst: Seven of his Miran'khai associates were sold to the Dekn as slaves and became test subjects for the December Project. After he discovered what the Project had done, he lost his faith in not only the Hethe, but innate decency and common sense. |

| 187 | ---- |
| 188 | * BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: Much like the Mafia that inspired them, they exploit Dekn business owners by offering them "protection" from both the Arkn and native thieves...in exchange for a cut of both their profits and their wares. |
| 189 | * GenericEthnicCrimeGang: They were founded by, and are composed primarily of, Dekn. |
| 190 | * TheMafia: It fashioned itself after the Sicilian Mafia, and operates in largely the same manner. |

| 202 | * BadassInANiceSuit: He's a powerful crime boss who's always in a sharp suit. |
| 203 | * TheChessmaster: Naturally. It's a trait he acquired from his father. |
| 204 | * MoralSociopathy: Seemingly operates according to this. He started with the goal of protecting his people from being exploited by the Arkn, and currently aims to provide the Dekn with Rethryc crystals (to which they wouldn't otherwise have access). However, he gives little thought to the many individuals he's had to extort, exploit, torture, or murder along the way -- including other Dekn. |
| 205 | * ThePatriarch: He acts as such to the Persophelums. His (unofficial) title, "Elbaset", even means "father". |
| 206 | * SelfMadeMan: Surprisingly, despite being born to the imperial family, he didn't rely on his wealth or privilege to create the Persophelums; instead, he relied on his own natural talents, intellect, and wits. |
| 207 | * SharpDressedMan: The wiki mentions that he's a sharp dresser, and very particular about his appearance. When the family was first founded, he would sometimes dress in his flashiest clothes and stand outside of a business he was extorting, just to remind them of who was "in charge". |

| 218 | ---- |
| 219 | * BlindObedience: Members are conditioned into this by Marchosias (as is standard practice for the Society of the Purple Rose). |
| 220 | * CharacterBlog: Various members of the group run the Society's [[https://societyofthepurplerose.tumblr.com/ official blog]] (written run by IV Sparrow and Penthepoet). |
| 221 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Lower-ranking members of the group wear white robes, while the higher-ranking members wear purple robes and clothing. |
| 222 | * CultOfPersonality: Is one for Marchosias in the most literal sense, made up of those whose obsessive infatuation with him has slipped into religious devotion. |
| 223 | * FloralThemeNaming: When interacting with others on the group's blog, members use names taken from various breeds of roses (Hybrid-Tea, Hildesheim, etc). |
| 224 | * MindRape: All of the members suffer from this. The final round (which fully erases their former identity) is often the last step of their initiation. |
| 225 | * NotUsedToFreedom: What usually happens when a member [[CultDefector escapes]]. |
| 226 | * OddNameOut: Parodied with "Mod Chrysanthemum" (who is actually just Petrel and 4-boy trolling the mods). |
| 227 | * PropertyOfLove: Literally: the core doctrine of the Society is that all members therein belong to Marchosias; he controls every aspect of their daily lives: where they go, what they eat, and even what they wear. |
| 228 | * ReligionOfEvil: They were created solely so that Marchosias can enjoy being worshiped by those he's [[MindRape mind raped]]. Members are expected to please their "God Emperor" in [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil all ways]]; those who fail to do so are sometimes [[HumanSacrifice sacrificed]] (i.e. murdered). Oh, and they hold an annual gala to recruit new members [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and raise money, when they're already absurdly wealthy]]. |
| 229 | * SecretCircleOfSecrets: Very much resembles one of these (despite its existence being fairly common knowledge in the Elevrium), with its robed disciples and oddly sexual [[HumanSacrifice sacrificial rituals]]. |

| 239 | |
| 240 | The Dekn Master of Beguilement and Debauchery and founder (and patron deity) of the Society of the Purple Rose. Faust kidnaps him in fulfillment of a deal with Andras. |
| 241 | ---- |
| 242 | * AGodAmI: He likes to use his powers to encourage his underlings to see him as a god, and started a religious cult to spread the message of his supposed divinity. His ultimate goal was to have the ''entire empire'' worship him [[spoiler: -- and he's well on his way to achieving it, now that he's murdered Emperor Xerinos and ascended the throne.]] |
| 243 | -->"I want ''all of the court'' at my feet. I want the begging for more I can give them. I want them ''broken''. I want them ''hungry''. I want them drunk on my presence. I want to be more than just their emperor, Andras; I want to be their God." |
| 244 | * CharmPerson: In his first appearance in ''Archives of the Scholar'', this is shown as his defining trait. He can use his powers to essentially talk a person into doing nearly ''anything''. |
| 245 | * TheCharmer: Definitely shown to be this throughout his appearances. |
| 246 | * CompellingVoice: His Beguilement power enables him to bend the will of another with just a few words. |
| 247 | * DistressedDude: Undergoes this multiple times, being kidnapped by Faust and held captive by the Scarred Marauders (even requiring Shanna to come to his rescue at one point). |
| 248 | * EgomaniacHunter: Comes from a long line of big game hunters, and has been known to vastly enjoy the thrill of the chase himself. |
| 249 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Barbatos, his older brother. Marchosias looked up to him as a younger child, and still held that respect as he grew older. His late former mentor at the College of Cailedagh'salle also qualifies as this for him. |
| 250 | * EvilMentor: Is this to his "acolyte" Shanna Averil. |
| 251 | * FreudianExcuse: The death of his beloved brother Barbatos (which Belial was indirectly responsible for causing) drove him to frame Belial for the attempted assassination of the Dekn Emperor. (That Marchosias was unable to satisfactorily bend Belial to his will is also hinted to be a major factor.) |
| 252 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes glow with a purple light when he utilizes his Beguilement power. |
| 253 | * GodEmperor: He is revered as one by the Society of the Purple Rose -- and, later, after he ascends the throne, by (almost) the entire Dekn Empire. |
| 254 | * PurpleIsPowerful: He utilizes the color purple as a sign of his power -- both literal (his eyes glow purple when he uses his beguilement ability) and figurative (as a representation of his self-proclaimed divinity and emperorship). |
| 255 | * SharpDressedMan: As mentioned in ''The Dekn Court'' and ''The Siren's Saga'', he prides himself on being ''very'' well-dressed, clothing himself only in the most expensive, well-cut suits. |
| 256 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "Our God is not, as the attacker so claims, a furry. Apparently, a formal title like the Winged Wolf has been misconstrued to hell and back. He is not involved in this human community, nor does he desire to have a.. fursona." |
| 257 | * VoiceOfTheLegion: His Beguilement ability manifests as this, when he's actively (as opposed to passively) using it. His voice is often described as slipping into a resonant baritone when his power is being actively used. In text, this is represented by bold italics. |
| 258 | * WickedCultured: He's a nobleman, and is sophisticated and well-educated. He's also a depraved megalomaniac, who thinks nothing of abusing and exploiting others. |

| 282 | The High Companion of Marchosias within the Society of the Purple Rose. She also acts as a moderator on the group's official blog. |
| 283 | ---- |
| 284 | * BatheHerAndBringHerToMe: When she was initially kidnapped by the church, they rubbed her skin with oils and perfumes, dressed her in fine silks, and applied makeup to her face before she was handed over to Marchosias as a "carnal sacrifice". |
| 285 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Her entire personality, after Marchosias gets ahold of her. ''Especially'' after Shanna is introduced to the group. It becomes so severe that she needs to be taken for "re-education". |
| 286 | * GenkiGirl: ''Extremely.'' Her overuse of exclamation points and kaomoji on the Purple Rose blog make her seem so cheerful as to be off-putting to anyone who stumbles upon her posts. |
| 287 | * GoGoEnslavement: Marchosias makes her wear skimpy, revealing clothing at all times. Even her uniform "robe" is cut to be revealing. |
| 288 | * HappinessInMindControl: Appears to be this trope on any occasion when [[https://societyofthepurplerose.tumblr.com/post/187097280156/by-deebolus-ilsenthe-is-that-really-you people from her former life attempt to contact her]]. |
| 289 | * LoveMartyr: Her role as "High Companion" is essentially this. |
| 290 | * NightmareFetishist: Every description of her relationship with her "God-Emperor" comes across as this. Her treatment at his hands is horrific at best, and she speaks of it with the kind of rapturous joy that would make most hardcore kinksters blush. |
| 291 | * NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Can turn an innocent (insofar as any Purple Rose discussion is "innocent") discussion on the Society's rite of induction into a rant about the time she was almost sacrificed-- and enjoyed every second of it! ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ -- and everyone is fine with this. |
| 292 | * NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization: She claims that her kidnapping, brainwashing, and subsequent ravishing by Marchosias weren't wrong because they felt good. |

She's also beginning to build up a cult of her own, isolating her frequent customers from their family and friends to make them more dependent on her services. |
| 343 | * DeceptiveDisciple: Is this to Marchosias, as her infatuation with him is heavily tempered by her desire to have the power and influence that he has. |
| 344 | * EvilCounterpart: To Moirah Averil. She's every bit as adventurous, reckless, and ambitious... and a morally bankrupt sociopath with cult leader aspirations. |

| 356 | * EvilTeacher: Her role as the head of Purple Rose's child indoctrination experiment has shades of this, including putting a very young child in strict isolation for the crime of daring to say hello to her moher in the one-shot ''Scenes from the Diary of Ollistra Andelyn.'' |
| 357 | * IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: Is this to Marchosias, constantly striving to no avail to get and keep his attention.

This is demonstrated in the "Master of War" one-shot: when a certain Dekn General goes to Belial and asks to leave the army so he can raise his newborn child, Belial states that the man would be provided with a pension and he won't hold it against him. Later Subverted after Belial's exile. |

| 455 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite Belial's exile, and his harsh, occasionally abusive nature towards his Marauders, the "Master of War" one-shot reveals that Belial deeply loves his son Maigrir and hopes that Maigrir [[EvilParentsWantGoodKids turns out better than he did]]. |
| 456 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Because normal U.M.E.E.C. weapons are useless in Destrus, Andras offered him samples of his newly-developed bioweapon to use against the Arkn.
