| 13 | |
| 14 | Aeons (almost universally called "Angels" by the other races) are offshoots of the Cold White Flame given sapience by the Gods and charged with protecting the universe they created. They were divided into two groups, Primes who had only one name and protected Throne and had never died, and normal angels, who are more numerous, have longer names and lived in the void were they fought unbound devils. When the Conquering King claimed Throne, he banished the Prime Angels into the void, pursued them there and killed them. Later, the other angels had armor-bodies forged for them by the old Demiurges, and were brought back to serve as peacekeepers once again. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | All angels progress through states of Plasma, Vapor, Liquid, Metamorphic, Igneous, Crystal, and finally Neutron as they age and grow in power; they also have a number alongside their name, indicating how many times they have died(that is having their true forms that are independent of their armor killed) - a process that generally wipes most, but not quite all, of their memories and identity. |
| 17 | ---- |
| 18 | * AlwaysLawfulGood: Well, they were ''intended'' to be this. Some of them have ended up with BlackAndWhiteInsanity instead, while others, like the Petal Knights, have abandoned their moral code entirely. The Root Knights remain true to their original ideals, but have no capacity to adapt, hauling criminals to prison briefly before letting them go because there are no longer any judges to determine how much punishment they deserve. |
| 19 | * AnimatedArmor: Outside the void, an Angel can only exist by inhabiting a suit of specially-made armor - essentially a living, armor-shaped sentient nuclear reactor. |
| 20 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: An angel's rank is directly tied to its physical state, which also directly ties to its experience and skill in its current form. Hence, older angels like Metamorphic and Igneous angels both command younger angels and are the most fearsome amongst them. Angels who both have a high state (they've existed a long time in their current form) and a low number (they haven't died a lot and still remember some of their first lives) are [[PersonOfMassDestruction persons of mass destruction]]-level of dangerous. |
| 21 | * CannotTellALie: They technically ''can'' lie, but doing so causes their body to crack. |
| 22 | * TheFettered: The Angels had the Old Law hammered into them by Koss, and are bound to it. Some of them, like the Thorn Knights, have found ways around some of these restrictions through LoopholeAbuse that they know of through their leader truly knowing the Old Law. Most Angels have an extremely rigid world-view of some variety on top of this, though exceptions exist. |
| 23 | * LogicBomb: When the angels were first made, their thinking was exceptionally inflexible and they would enforce strict punishments without consideration for the circumstances. One of the gods, Prim, solved this by ordering an angel to safeguard her delicate comb, which could not withstand the jarring and jostling of violence. The angel's duty to protect it was therefore mutually exclusive with the angel's duty to violently punish a group that had accidentally broken the rules, forcing the angel to think. The Root Knights (angels who still hold to the Old Law) all carry a comb to remind themselves of this original problem and that their duty is to protect and glorify God's works. |
| 24 | * NameThatUnfoldsLikeLotusBlossom: Most angels have lengthy, flowery names that define their purpose, each a fragment of the Old Law built into their being [[note]]somewhat equivalent to the RealLife Pilgrim tradition of taking names from passages of The Bible[[/note]]. The very oldest ones (2 Michael and Metatron 1) seem to avert this. |
| 25 | * NoBiologicalSex: They're not biological at all, and ideologically they reject gender. In practice most of them tend to use male pronouns and terms for themselves, though, and ones that identify as female are considered deviants. |
| 26 | * NumericalThemeNaming: All angels have a number before (or occasionally after) their name, indicating the number of times they've been incarnated from the void. |
| 27 | * OneManArmy: While their precise level of strength may differ, all angels are walking nuclear-powered tanks wielding millennia-old martial arts. |
| 28 | * OurAngelsAreDifferent: Their "true form" in the void often bears some resemblance to the more bizarre biblical descriptions of angels (flaming wheels, EyesDoNotBelongThere, and so on), but their practical forms involve pouring their nuclear fire into a suit of incredibly-tough armor made of fired Void ash (which by its nature barely ''exists''). |
| 29 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: Whenever an angel is slain, either in the Void by a devil, god or other angel, or by significant enough damage to fully breach its armour while the angel is inhabiting it, its void-form calcifies and the angel's flame of life enters a stage of torpor. It then returns to life after a time period proportionate to the length of its previous life, back at the Plasma stage and lacking about 90% of its memories, but otherwise unharmed. The number before an angel's name indicates how many lives they've lived, hence an angel with a '3' in front of its name has died twice. |
| 30 | * TakesOneToKillOne: "The only thing that beats an angel is another angel" is a common truism on Throne. While not literally true, it is true enough for practically everyone besides the Demiurges. |
| 31 | * TakingYouWithMe: The bit about their armor being walking tanks containing a living nuclear explosion isn't just flowery speech; if an Angel's armor is breached (sending it back to the void and sometimes "killing" it until it reincarnates), it tends to explode violently in the process, killing anyone in the area. |

| 43 | \ |
| 44 | From the [[http://orbitaldropkick.tumblr.com/post/82091686323/the-angel-called-6-juggernaut-star-scours-the author's description]]: |
| 45 | |
| 46 | An Igneous Angel that leads the Holy Thorn Knights and believes Allison needs to be killed for the good of the universe. It rides a bio-organic motorcycle made out of living skeletons, and is fond of tea ceremonies. |
| 47 | ---- |
| 48 | * AmbiguousGender: [[spoiler:While biologically sexless, as with all angels, 6 Juggernaut was assumed masculine-leaning until an extremely feminine face was found under its "steed's" bony facade. Given this reveal's nature as a twist, its self-identified gender, if any, is extremely unclear as of now.]] |
| 49 | * ArchEnemy: Refers to Zoss as "The Enemy" and openly admits to hating him above all else. [[spoiler:Its job every cycle is to kill Zoss, and given that Zoss keeps resetting the cycle and coming back to life it's safe to say 6 Juggernaut Star has some emnity towards him at this point.]] |
| 50 | * ArmouredClosetGay: [[spoiler:Juggernaut considers White Chain a "deviant" for identifying with mortal concepts of gender, but as it turns out the projection coming from its Void form under the spiky fire skeleton is also actually quite humanoid, feminine and pretty. It's implied that this is a common "malady" facing the Thorn Knights.]] |
| 51 | * BadassBiker: It's a fallen angel riding a flaming motorcycle made out of skeletons. You do the math. |
| 52 | * BrokenAngel: Quite literally, [[spoiler:as its secret true form has amputated wing stumps.]] Given that angels' bodies shift to match their state of mind over time, this is as likely to represent a mental trauma as it is a physical one. |
| 53 | * CoolBike: It's made out of a bunch of skeletons, and [[spoiler: the front wheel is actually the angel's real body]]. |
| 54 | * DemBones: In the void, without its armor, it appears as a [[http://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/wielder-of-names-1-10/ flaming skeleton]]. Also, its motorcycle is made out of skeletons. |
| 55 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Juggernaut's response to [[spoiler:White Chain rejecting it one time too many at the tournament? Try to kill her in [[ColdBloodedTorture the slowest, most sadistic manner available]] — cracking her armor with its bare hands.]] |
| 56 | * DragonInChief: To Metatron, as the head of the Thorn Knights. Since Metatron can't move and has possibly had a change of heart about destroying the universe, Juggernaut has to do most of the dirty work. |
| 57 | * EnlightenedAntagonist: Juggernaut is stated by WordOfGod to know more than most of the other characters about the true nature of the world... and [[StrawNihilist hates it]]. |
| 58 | * FallenAngel: As the leader of the Thorn Knights, it has turned to the path of Thorns, though it sees itself as serving a higher power. |
| 59 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Just because you're a skeletal fallen angel riding a flaming motorcycle doesn't mean you can skimp on tea ceremonies... and just because you enjoy tea ceremonies doesn't mean you don't derive your enjoyment from feeling smugly superior to the [[PunyHumans lowly mortals]] who dedicate their finite lives to making things as fragile and inconsequential as tea sets. |
| 60 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
| 61 | ** In the AltText for its introduction, it says "Do not mistake the rider for the steed." [[spoiler:This is because its true body isn't the humanoid, but rather the motorcycle it rode in on.]] |
| 62 | ** Juggernaut heavily foreshadows [[spoiler:the true nature of the Universe and the time loop during its first conversation with 82 White Chain, who doesn't pick up on it.]] |
| 63 | * GameFace: [[spoiler:Just as the iron knight isn't Juggernaut's true body, the spiked flaming skeleton isn't its true face in the void. Occasionally, when its focus slips, Juggernaut shows itself to be far more human-looking.]] |
| 64 | * TheHeavy: It's not ''quite'' the BigBad of the comic, but of all the villains, it's certainly the most recurring. It is also the reason why Allison got involved in the first place, by kidnapping Zaid and decapitating the being that gave Allison her Key of Kings. [[spoiler:Its fixed role in TheHerosJourney is always to be the one that kills Zoss in order for the Successor to come into his own, and may be the only being in the Multiverse allowed to do so -- not that it ever sticks. Zoss' pre-emptive decapitation gave him an opportunity to give the Key to Allison instead, marking her as his successor instead]]. |
| 65 | * HeroKiller: Decapitates [[spoiler:what turns out to be Zoss]] during the comic's opening. [[spoiler:It doesn't quite take due to Zoss being a NonLinearCharacter. It later reveals its job every cycle is to kill Zoss once he's picked his successor, though it implies it jumped the gun this particular cycle out of hatred for Zoss and what is implied to be TimeLoopFatigue.]] |
| 66 | * HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Despite all it's claims that 82 White Chain is weak for embracing human character traits, the feminine human face it shows to Maya implies that Juggernaut has far more depth than it pretends to.]] On top of that, WordOfGod is that Juggernaut's previous incarnation died protecting something or someone very dear to it. |
| 67 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: The front wheel of its motorcycle doubles as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_wheel breaking wheel]] and triples as a bludgeoning weapon should Juggernaut feel like using a weapon other than its own body. [[spoiler:With the reveal that the wheel ''is'' the angel's body, it is more like 6 Juggernaut using a puppet to bludgeon people to death with itself.]] |
| 68 | * ItIsDehumanizing: The author refers to other angels by their chosen gendered pronouns, or "they/them" if they don't identify as either. As seen in the author's description above, 6 Juggernaut is "it". |
| 69 | * MagicKnight: Has quite the knack for the Art of Division, which lets it teleport through the Universe and chop people's heads off bare-handed. |
| 70 | * MonowheelMayhem: It rides a CoolBike, but only requires one wheel to function, as we see when it is heavily damaged. [[spoiler:In fact Juggernaut Star's physical body IS the wheel, simply projecting its spiritual form into its armor remotely.]] |
| 71 | * MouthOfSauron: ''Speaker'' for Thorns; the only Thorn Knight who seems capable of speech and Metatron's evident second-in-command. |
| 72 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:6 Juggernaut's hatred for its enemy caused it to jump the gun on putting the Prophecy in motion -- Zoss was slain and Zaid was captured before he could be named the Successor, so Allison was chosen instead. Or so the angels believe. The Conquering King himself implies Allison was always his choice of heir. Juggernaut's growing HiddenDepths over the story imply it may also have had alternate motives.]] |
| 73 | * NoOneCouldSurviveThat: So, how exactly do you survive [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe getting cut in half?]] Well, it helps if you're a being made from pure cold fire, but on top of that [[spoiler:it isn't Juggernaut's true body that got cut. It's its "steed". Its true body -- the front wheel on its motorcycle -- is largely unharmed. Although it confirms it was quite painful.]] |
| 74 | * OmnicidalManiac: A downplayed example. 6 Juggernaut Star would like nothing better than to genocide all non-angel lifeforms from Throne and go to sleep in an empty heaven, but lacks both the power to do so and has to serve the Royalist cause due to its master having changed the purpose of the Thorn Knights. This does not stop it from lashing out against existence in general and anything weaker than it and within arm's reach specifically. |
| 75 | * RazorSharpHand: Master of a martial arts technique known as [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Pattram Sword Hand]]. |
| 76 | * RippleEffectProofMemory: [[spoiler:As Metatron's main enforcer, 6 Juggernaut has full knowledge of the time loop, and also the fact that it's been endlessly stuck in said time loop for YISUN only knows how many repetitions while Zoss endlessly resets time until he and/or Metatron is satisfied with his choice of successor.]] |
| 77 | -->'''6 Juggernaut:''' The old king flees his corrupted heaven, and chooses a successor. The new king purges the old regime - and I kill the old king. Nice and clean, more room. The new king meets my master and comes into his kingdom. Singularity restored, clean. |
| 78 | * SociopathicSoldier: 6 Juggernaut Star is, to put it lightly, an extremely nasty piece of work. It thinks nothing of killing bystanders who happens upon it during its duties, and finds enjoyment in killing people and mocking the meaninglessness of mortal life. |
| 79 | -->'''6 Juggernaut:''' Prove to me you are worthy. I doubt it. The girl is close. If you don't reach her before ''me...'' It will be my incredible pleasure to '''''DISMEMBER''''' her. |
| 80 | * SpikesOfVillainy: Lots of spikes (even some coming out of its ''eyes''). Lots of villainy. |
| 81 | * StrawNihilist: It believes the universe and justice are lies and is [[http://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/wielder-of-names-5-85/ offended that anyone could want to protect either]]. It later goes into further detail, saying that everything is hopeless [[spoiler:because the universe is stuck in a ViciousCycle where past and future are the same. Everyone else will suffer forever and ever until the Conquering King is finally satisfied.]] |
| 82 | * TimeLoopFatigue: [[spoiler:It is one of the few to realize that Zoss has trapped the multiverse in a GroundhogDayLoop and has gotten more than a little sick of it.]] |
| 83 | * TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:While it is one of the strongest beings in the setting and always presents as overwhelmingly powerful in a fight, in both serious fights it has been in onscreen, it lost in one hit. This trope especially applies to its fight with Maya, where, after an entire book of building it up, she bisects it with a single CleanCut almost out of nowhere to establish how ridiculously powerful she really is.]] |

| 90 | |
| 91 | The last of the original Prime Angels, being the only one left alive by the Conquering King during his conquest of Throne. Founder of the Thorn Knights, and bearer of the secret names of YISUN. |
| 92 | ---- |
| 93 | * AndIMustScream: Rather than kill him and leave him to reincarnate, Zoss left him all but dead, trapped within the petrified shell of his own body for untold thousands of years. |
| 94 | * BrownNote: His voice obliterates thought. The one time he is seeing speaking, the unfortunate recipient was unable to remember what was said(over the sound of her own screams), but they knew it to be all true. |
| 95 | * TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Manipulated [[TheDreaded Jagganoth]] into becoming his [[HumanWeapon personal executioner]] to [[OmnicidalManiac wipe out all life in the universe]]. Jagganoth eventually came to realize that he was being manipulated and that Metatron had some other design in mind for him during one of his many incarnations, and decides to [[RageAgainstTheHeavens kill the angel]].]] |
| 96 | * DealWithTheDevil: Ironically, as an angel. [[spoiler:Jagganoth believes Zoss made a bargain with Metatron, turning himself into Metatron's puppet king and in return gaining the power to turn the Wheel, thus locking it in an GroundhogDayLoop]]. |
| 97 | * DramaPreservingHandicap: As one of the only remaining Prime Angels and the bearer of the [[IKnowYourTrueName true name]] of God, Metatron could scour all of Throne with a word, but the Old Law makes it impossible for him to use his power in such a way. His crippling also leaves him unable to utilise a FantasticFightingStyle like other Angels can, forcing him to act though pawns. |
| 98 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Metatron is utterly immobilized and unable to act directly, but they're the ultimate hand behind the Thorn Knights, 6 Juggernaut's actions, and most of the plot. [[spoiler:Also turns out to be the [[ManipulativeBastard puppet-master]] behind [[TheJuggernaut Jagganoth]], the [[DestroyerDeity Red God]], who was widely seen as the BigBad of the setting up until the reveal.]] [[spoiler:''Then'' Jagganoth reveals that Metatron is this to an even further degree than previously thought; Metatron gave the Key to Zoss and somehow ''retains control of Zoss'', forcing Zoss to reset the multiverse in an EternalRecurrence, for some inscrutable purpose]]. |
| 99 | * {{Hypocrite}}: The Thorn Knight hate and admonish angels who look more human, yet their superior, Metatron, is the most human-looking angel of them all. |
| 100 | * LastOfHisKind: Metatron is the very last surviving of the first incarnation of all angels. |
| 101 | * LoopholeAbuse: Metatron knows the Old Law better than any being alive, and as such can bend or interpret it in ways that violate its original spirit. This is why the Thorn Knights, being bonded to him, were able to devote themselves to the destruction of all non-Angel forms of life despite having the Law literally forged into their being. |
| 102 | * OddNameOut: Is consistently referred to as either 'Metatron' or 'Metatron 1', breaking both the theme of angels' numbers coming before their name and their tendency for NameThatUnfoldsLikeLotusBlossom. The former is likely because they have never reincarnated, the latter probably because of the meaning of the name. |
| 103 | * TheOlderImmortal: Having never reincarnated, Metatron is the oldest contiguous being in existence and almost as old as Creation itself. [[spoiler: Except it turns out Gog-Agog is just as if not possibly older.]] |
| 104 | * OmnicidalManiac: Metatron originally created the Thorn Knights to "sterilize" existence, though according to 2 Michael he has since seen the error of his ways and has become a Royalist who wants to find a worthy successor to Zoss. [[spoiler:He is wrong: Metatron is the reason for ''much'' more.]] |

| 113 | |
| 114 | The oldest incarnated angel, and the only one reincarnated from among the ones who guarded the Throne before the Conquering King defeated them, 2 Michael is White Chain's master and mentor. |
| 115 | ---- |
| 116 | * AllPowerfulBystander: As one of the oldest living Angels, Micheal possess extraordinary skill in SupernaturalMartialArts. But his rigid adherence to the [[BizarreAlienPsychology Old Law]] means he's unlikely to interfere in Allison's journey directly. |
| 117 | * BatmanGambit: He banished White Chain to the void, but it was only a subterfuge to give her a mission in association with the Holy Thorn Knights. Despite Juggernaut Star doubt's of the later's loyalty and her increasing humanity, he is confident White Chain will follow through and return. |
| 118 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: 2 Michael, being a Prime Angel, possesses this in spades. He believes in the preservation of order at any cost, even if that cost is the complete death and rebirth of the multiverse, and considers "mortal" concepts (such as physical form and gender) as beneath the race of angels. [[spoiler:Seeing White Chain's extremely humanoid true face was the final straw in deciding their banishment.]] |
| 119 | -->'''2 Michael:''' Not all acts of evil are foolish, White Chain. And not all acts of good are wise. |
| 120 | * CynicalMentor: To White Chain, although 2 Michael's cynicism is so deep that it amounts to a certainty. |
| 121 | * DaChief: What 2 Michael is supposed to be to White Chain as their superior in the Concordant Knights. Conceptually, the author had to refrain from giving 2 Michael a badass cop mustache. |
| 122 | * IronicName: The name Micheal stems from a rhetorical question in the Bible asking who could possibly match the might of God. Not only did ''this'' Micheal suffer a humiliating defeat from a DeityOfHumanOrigin, he’s now actively plotting to create another he can use as a PuppetKing. |
| 123 | * HumanPincushion: 2 Michael still has several spears sticking through his chest from from the war between the Demiurges, when the Concordance was broken. His true form in the Void is similarly impaled, suggesting that it's become a symbolic part of his identity. |
| 124 | * LeanAndMean: His armour is sculpted to look like a terribly emaciated humanoid form, and he is very much not a nice angel. |
| 125 | * OnlyOneName: Only ever referred to as '2 Michael' instead of a descriptive sentence like the rest of the angels. Whether 'Michael' is only a nickname or if he outright breaks the naming convention like Metatron does is unknown. |
| 126 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: His views on gender, which are ostensibly neutral but which, practically, have a degree of male bias seeping into them (eg. misidentifying the first human as male and his first reaction when corrected being anger.) He also repeatedly misgenders Delicious [[spoiler:after her death]], using male pronouns for her even though she openly identifies as female in both her forms. |
| 127 | * PureIsNotGood: 2 Michael believes in purity and order above all else, including morality. |
| 128 | * ShoutOut: He quotes [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} Martyr Logarious]], although not entirely accurately. He left out the last part of the quote, which encourages one to always strive to do good. |
| 129 | -->'''Michael / Logarious''': Acts of evil are not always foolish, and acts of good are not always wise. |
| 130 | * TimeAbyss: All the angels are really old, but 2 Michael takes the cake, dating all the way back to before the rise of the Conquering King... and he says that before that, he guarded the throne for 30 [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalpa_%28aeon%29 Kalpa]], or roughly 130 billion years. |

| 139 | ->''"Ħo there! Coming or going?"'' |
| 140 | |
| 141 | An igneous angel who spends his time in the impression of Koss' Workshop in the Void watching for anyone coming and going. |
| 142 | ---- |
| 143 | * AllEncompassingMantle: For maximum mysteriousness, while in his armor, only his head and (when he gestures) his hands emerge from his robes. |
| 144 | * AttackBackfire: During the tournament fight, Juggernaut Star dismissively kicks him in the chest to get him out of the way. All this serves to do is help expel the dust from Vigilant Gaze's armor, bringing him back to full power. |
| 145 | * BadassBoast: Just before he fights 6 Juggernaut to stop it from killing White Chain and Allison, mixed with TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: |
| 146 | -->''"God, called YISUN, has entrusted us with the world itself! How can we be so prideful as to judge it? She is the only one not afraid of fulfilling her duty, and yet we spurn her! NO LONGER! By my honor as a Knight of the Holy Concordance — UNHAND OUR SISTER!"'' |
| 147 | * BeginWithAFinisher: When he's attacked by [[spoiler:Juggernaut Star]], he defends himself just long enough to say his prayers and then unleashes an Age's worth of conserved energy in a KamehameHadoken that ends the fight in an instant. |
| 148 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Overall a pleasant and good natured fellow, and a tremendously dangerous warrior when the need for him to fight comes. |
| 149 | * BigBrotherMentor: To White Chain. Vigilant Gaze has known White Chain through multitudes of incarnations and respects White Chain greatly for the ability to keep going despite all the struggles repeated incarnations has imposed upon the latter. |
| 150 | * BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: It's not clear how long it's been since the last time he actually used his armor, but it was long enough that an old war buddy forgot what he looked like. It was not cared for particularly well in the meantime either, having gotten so full of detritus over the ages that it hampers his speaking and movements until a [[PercussiveMaintenance few good whacks]] clear the worst of it out. |
| 151 | * BondOneLiner: Drops one after [[spoiler:he disables Juggernaut Star with a point blank massive energy beam to the face, referencing his catchphrase below]]. |
| 152 | -->''"'''So.'''" ({{beat}}) "It's '''going''' then."'' |
| 153 | * CharacterCatchphrase: His greeting to all who approaches in the Void, "Ho there! Coming or going?" |
| 154 | * CompositeCharacter: With 25 Vengeful Iron Suffers No Heretics or Fools to Live. Vengeful Iron still exists, as he provides one of the page quotes, but [[spoiler:his role in the story and his armor design is taken by Vigilant Gaze]]. |
| 155 | * {{Cyclops}}: His armor only has a single glowing eye, although unlike a standard cyclops it's positioned off to the side where it ''would'' be if he had two. |
| 156 | * TheFaceless: His head armor is shaped like a face-concealing helmet and has no real hint of a face aside from his single glowing eye. The shape of it also resembles that of his actual head, which itself qualifies for this trope. |
| 157 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: There's a number of hints that the mysterious newcomer angel in the tournament is in fact the wheel-headed doorman of the Void we met a few arcs back. |
| 158 | ** White Chain says his voice is unknown to her. He also has a ragged cough. Several pages later, a solid hit to his chest that helps clear out the dust in his armor does away with the cough and causes the text of his speech to change from a ragged appearance to the same text he uses in the Void. |
| 159 | ** Despite supposedly being a stranger to White Chain, he makes mention of fighting demons alongside her in the past. |
| 160 | ** The design of his helmet is rather similar to the circular shape of his head in the Void. It's particularity notable in 9-121, a page before his identity is overtly revealed. |
| 161 | * GentleGiant: According to the AltText during his introduction, he's one of the most powerful angels, but is better known for his mild manners and tendency to ramble. His favourite fighting style, Fierce Horse Soul, is almost entirely defensive in nature and designed to subdue without causing permanent harm. |
| 162 | * GlowingEyes: Well, [[{{Cyclops}} glowing eye]]. The sole eye-hole in his helmet has the blue flame constantly visible within it. |
| 163 | * GoodAllAlong: In the tournament, before his identity is revealed. Given the imposing appearance of his armor, the way he chases White Chain down while accusing her of losing her way, and the fact that White Chain doesn't know him, it's easy to assume he's a villainous KnightTemplar like Juggernaut Star. Turns out, he's actually quite the opposite; he's one of the few angels who expressed support for White Chain earlier in the comic. He remains faithful to the old ways, and is upset that not only are the other angels not following White Chain's example, but that White Chain seems to be bowing to their pressure. |
| 164 | * IAmNotAGun: Unlike the Thorn Knights, Vigilant Gaze remembers that the ''true'' purpose of angels is to preserve the works of God while defending mortals, ''not'' to covet, control, and terrorize those things. He's seeking out White Chain to make sure ''she'' remembers this lesson as well. |
| 165 | * KamehameHadoken: Is capable of unleashing one so big he has to leap several feet off the ground to get it all in the air - and even then, it still leaves a massive trench of cracked, red-hot stone. |
| 166 | * LargeHam: Between his catchphrase and booming declarations to 6 Juggernaut? Yeah, Gaze is a bit of a ham. The alt text for King of Swords pg. 10-149 even suggests that he sounds a lot like Creator/BrianBlessed. |
| 167 | * TheLastDJ: Like White Chain, Vigilant Gaze is one of the few angels that stays devoted to the old ways and remembers that they're supposed to be defenders of the innocent, not self-righteous jerks towards mortals. |
| 168 | * LetsGetDangerous: As soon as he expels the rust and dust his armour accumulated over the years of neglect, Vigilant Gaze is able to return to the [[LargeHam bombastic personality]] he has in his void form and actually move. [[BadassBoast He then immediately announces he's about to lay down some serious asskicking]]. |
| 169 | * MeaningfulName: He spends all his time vigilantly gazing at the horizon. He also might be nearsighted. |
| 170 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: He [[TheCoatsAreOff ditches his cloak]] when he [[LetsGetDangerous properly joins the fight]], revealing that his armor has four arms. |
| 171 | * MyDefenceNeedNotProtectMeForever: On a longer scale than usual, he's a practitioner of Fierce Horse Soul, which is noted as being focused almost entirely around [[StoneWall defense and endurance]] - with the quirk that someone's who's practiced it long enough (thousands of years, specifically) can unleash the energy they've stored up in immensely destructive bursts. |
| 172 | * MysteriousStranger: White Chain doesn't recognize him when he first appears in the tournament, though he seems to know her, and none of the rest of the cast knows who he is either. Averted after his actual identity is revealed. |
| 173 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: He drags out his old armor over concern for White Chain's recent change in attitude for the worse. Unfortunately when he finaly catches up [[PoorCommunicationKills the tone he adopts and his unclear identity]] accidentally spurs her further down the path of the Thorns and provokes her into a violent confrontation with Cio and Allison, which is exactly the sort of thing he was trying to prevent. |
| 174 | * OldSoldier: Even by the standards of angels, he's an old-timer; his physical body is so old that it's covered in and full of dust and he has a nasty cough while using it. His armor's gone unused for so long that White Chain initially doesn't recognize him. |
| 175 | * RainbowSpeak: His speech bubbles and the text within them are orange, and every letter H has two bars in the middle. When he's depowered and in his dusty old armor, the text is still orange, but it lacks his "accent" with the double-barred H. |
| 176 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's the leader of the angels who congregate in the Void at Koss' Workshop, and he's sympathetic to White Chain, but since he spends all his time meditating on the infinite blackness, he's become somewhat judgmental. He also is willing to demand Michael reprimand the Thorns when they harass and wound White Chain. |
| 177 | * SomeOfMyBestFriendsAreX: His attitude towards humans. |
| 178 | * SupernaturalMartialArts: Like all angels. He apparently prefers Fierce Horse Soul, a common angelic style that focuses almost entirely on defense, evasion, and conservation of ones energy in order to get close enough to an opponent to subdue them - yet those who master it also find that the energy it conserves may be utilized to devastating effect, useful for foes too dangerous (or simply impossible) to subdue. He demonstrates his mastery of the style by performing the Ten Thousand Year Evil-Quelling Fist-style, said to only be known by the oldest and most experienced angels, which releases all the conserved energy in a single, overpowering attack. That ''single'' strike was enough to take out one of the most powerful Thorn Knights. |
| 179 | * VerbalTic: When he first appears in his armor, he tends to cough a lot thanks to the fact that it's been out of use for a very long time and is clogged with dirt and debris. After a solid hit to the chest fires him up enough to clear out the worst of it, the cough goes away too. His reference to opponents as 'ruffians' also hints at his identity, and his loud "HO THERE!" after getting the dust out of his armor serves to confirm it. |
| 180 | * WalkingSpoiler: It's impossible to talk about his role in the tournament without spoiling who he is. |
| 181 | * WhamLine: His identity is made overt in the tournament when he drops his CharacterCatchphrase in his distinctive text. |
| 182 | -->"Ho there!" |
| 183 | * WhatTheHellHero: |
| 184 | ** He gives White Chain a serious dressing down for bowing to the Thorn Knights' pressure and [[spoiler:turning on Allison during Solomon's tournament]], accusing her of losing her way. |
| 185 | ** Shortly after, he gives a far more hostile one to 6 Juggernaut, calling it out for being everything an angel ''shouldn't'' be, and for treating White Chain so horribly just because she follows the old ways and hasn't turned into a petty thug. |
| 186 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: His speech to White Chain at the end of the tournament has shades of this - criticizing her for her mistakes, but reminding her that she was always better than the other angels said she was. |

| 230 | * AndYouThoughtItWasAGame: During most of her confrontation with White Chain, Judicious Rains is mocking, taunting, and generally not taking things seriously. It's not until White Chain switches to the Empty Palm Purges the Impure style that Judicious Rains realizes just how pissed her opponent is. |
| 231 | * ExtraEyes: She has three eyes on her face. |

| 234 | * KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: White Chain doesn't accept Judicious Rains' surrender and continues beating her into the ground, seemingly with full intent to shatter her armor and banish her to the Void. Only Nyave's interference stops White Chain from going through with it. |

| 270 | !!Devils |
| 271 | |
| 272 | [[folder:General]] |
| 273 | Devils are primeval offshoots of Hot Black Flame, also known as the Consuming Flame. They were created as a race of destroyers that are native to the Void and cannot enter Throne or the worlds on their own; when the Demiurges conquered Throne, they summoned and bound the first Devils with masks and names and coaxed their secrets and servitude from them. |
| 274 | |
| 275 | Devils, once bound, have a caste system that goes Pale, Blue, Crimson, Green, Gold and finally Ebon, which indicates the colour of their mask and the number (and power) of their name. Devils live to make pacts with humans, collect names, and find more powerful ones while shedding the less useful ones, which allows them to move upwards in the hierarchy. A devil without a mask or name regresses to an Unbound State, which turns them into mindless entities with no identity or memory. |
| 276 | ---- |
| 277 | * AlwaysChaoticEvil: Owing to their nature as offshoots of the [[TheCorruption Hot Black Flame]], Devils are instinctively driven to corrupt and destroy whatever they touch. Among the many shown in the comic so far, only Cio can be called anything close to good. |
| 278 | * DealWithTheDevil: Part of their nature: Devils can only obtain names by being summoned and bound, so they go through multiples of these as part of their lifecycle. A human, servant or angel can bind a devil with a contract, which causes the devil to leech some of their binders' power from their soul flame. Devils make very unreliable servants and will usually backstab their binder the moment they've grown tired of their contract. |
| 279 | * DemonicPossession: A devil's mask can be placed on a prepared body for the devil to possess, or worn by a human to form [[FusionDance a fearsome but unstable warrior.]] |
| 280 | * EldritchAbomination: Unbound devils are chaotic messes of black flame bristling with teeth and eyes, and generally don't resemble their bound forms at all. |
| 281 | * ExpressiveMask: As noted in FrozenFace below, not all demon masks behave like masks. Blue devils in particular tend to have faces as expressive as those of any other living being, although more senior devils will sometimes have a full or partial range of expression as well. |
| 282 | * FamilyOfChoice: Devils cannot beget in the same way humans and Servants do, and as such do not have the ThickerThanWater issues they do, but they still form families founded completely on choice and association. The Gold Devil Praman Nand is married to a Blue Devil (Cio), and has a family of Pale Devil 'daughters' whom he provides bodies to for DemonicPossession, and Oscar the Crimson Devil refers to the Ebon Devil Vladok as his grandfather ([[spoiler:and is deeply entertained by his fall from grace into a Blue Devil]]). |
| 283 | * FantasticCasteSystem: Devils pass through a system of mask colours depending on the number (and power) of the names used to bind them. During the drinking song in ''Wielder of Names'' its said that even individual names can gain and lose power over time, sometimes demoting devils to a lower caste. |
| 284 | * FrozenFace: Their 'faces' are the masks that give them identity and personality, and while some (particularly blue devils) are lucky enough to have an ExpressiveMask that behaves like a living being's face, many are not. Some don't even have hinged jaws - or any jaws at all, for that matter. |
| 285 | * GenderBender: Devils seem to be genderfluid, with some castes of devils presenting as one gender and others as other ones. All blue devils seen so far present as either women or children (although Princess Is a lot more masculine than most), while the majority of crimson devils are male. Pale and green devils generally look monstrous and/or nonbinary, while gold and ebon devils look (and present) like whatever they want. |
| 286 | * IKnowYourTrueName: Knowing a devil's name -- or giving it one -- is required to bind one. Devils, on their end, are constantly looking for a true name to make their own in their collection of given names: Those who can shed all their names but their true one become Ebon devils, who are vanishingly rare as a result. |
| 287 | * MarkOfTheBeast: Devil binders obtain a mark called a "devil's kiss" that represents their contract with the devil. It looks like a small pock-mark made from the black flame of the devil in question. Those who bargain with multiple devils at once thus tend to have lots of them on their bodies. |
| 288 | * TheUnfettered: Devils are fettered by their names and bindings, and without them they become mindless destroyers. Even in their bound states, however, devils live only by [[Creator/AleisterCrowley "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law"]] and are highly unreliable as a result. |

| 294 | * CaperCrew: Their purpose. Aside from Oscar, each of them is introduced with the role they're intended to play in TheHeist. |
| 295 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: As befits a literal gang of Demon Thieves, they're frequently calculating when to off each other so they can get a bigger share of the take. The problem is, nobody knows exactly when [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness one of the crew has outlived their usefulness]] in a randomly-shifting infinite-room dungeon. Eventually, [[spoiler:the whole group explodes into in-fighting when Xand and Nxor try to backstab and rob the others. Oscar finally settles the matter by [[UnfriendlyFire pumping them all full of lead]], killing Xand and Nxor and wounding Charon and Cat Master.]] |
| 296 | * DwindlingParty: [[spoiler:They slowly kill each other off one by one during the heist, and most of the survivors kill each other or are killed by Oscar at the end of it.]] This is considered more or less standard for a crew of devils. |
| 297 | * KarmicJackpot: Charon, Cat Master and Lucky Felicia [[spoiler:are the only members who don’t try to backstab the others in any way and are rewarded quite well; while all the traitors (except maybe Oscar) die, the three of them escape and enjoy all the riches they can grab.]] |

| 306 | An old boyfriend of Cio's, and the (spiritual) grandson of Vladok, Oskar is a tall, easygoing Crimson Devil whose long-nosed red mask resembles a Tengu's. During the heist he functions as the Partner in Crime, being the one who rustles up most of the crew (except Charon and Lucky Felicia) for Cio. |
| 307 | ---- |
| 308 | * AffablyEvil: Oscar is indeed a very bad man as his clothes will indicate, but he seemed legitimately glad that Allison was alive when he and his crew found her and Cio in Mammon's vault. [[spoiler:Later Subverted very hard, as he betrayed everyone involved with the heist.]] |
| 309 | * ArtificialLimbs: He has [[https://killsixbilliondemons.tumblr.com/post/164838034160/so-the-first-time-we-meet-oscar-hes-got-big screw-on feet]]. [[https://killsixbilliondemons.tumblr.com/post/164975938365/how-many-extra-pairs-of-feet-does-oskar-have-and Over 15 pairs of them.]] |
| 310 | * BigRedDevil: Out of all the devils in the comic, Oscar comes closest to this archetype, with his bright crimson mask, almost-curling horns and cloven hooves. |
| 311 | * CardCarryingVillain: At various points, he wears a cloak and a cap with "BAD MAN" written on them, and pants with "EVIL" printed on them over and over. He even leads a gang (who White Chain calls the "scum of the scum") called Badstar, who dress in gangbanger-style clothing and bling with the word "EVIL" on the back of their jackets and whose credo is "money and power through homicide". At one point, the AltText implicitly suggests [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40nhzsapiWo "Bad, Bad Man"]] as his theme music. |
| 312 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: On the expedition into Mammon's Infinite Vault, he kills [[spoiler: two of the other members of crew. For the first, it was somewhat understandable since he was feeding somebody into a living lock to open it. For the second, he literally just pushes 1-11 into a trap to spring it and show that it was there. And at the end of it, he shoots Cat Master, Nxor / Xand, and Charon indiscriminately.]] And then, of course, [[spoiler:he betrays and tries to kill Cio once it's clear she's rejected him for Allison and doesn't want to be Yabalchoath again.]] The AltText even lampshades this at one point with a ShoutOut to the "curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" line from ''Series/{{Firefly}}''. |
| 313 | * TheDandy: He's a hedonist who clearly loves dressing to the nines. Getting repeatedly perforated only draws a remark about how his shirt has been spoiled. |
| 314 | * DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler: Shot with his own gun by Lucky Felicia, a woman he fed to a door, and then fell off an airship into a literal waterfall of gold. Subverted though, as Cio suspects he's not dead.]] |

| 317 | * InferredSurvival: Invoked. [[spoiler:After he falls off the airship to his apparent doom, Cio says she suspects he's not dead.]] |
| 318 | * LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:He betrays Lucky Felicia by feeding her to the Door trap in order to get the rest into the Vault. During the climatic battle aboard Allison's ship, he gets a chunk of his side blown out by a ''very'' pissed off Felicia using his own gun, and his last scene depicts him falling overboard into the deluge of gold spilling out from Mammon's Vault.]] |
| 319 | * LovableTraitor: He's so stylish and entertainingly hammy you can't help but have him grow on you even as he [[spoiler: guns down the entire heist team in cold blood and turns on Cio and Allison as well]]. |
| 320 | * LowerClassLout: His speech is peppered with stereotypical British working-class slang like "bint", which alongside his sentence structuring evokes this trope. True to form, he leads a street gang of GangBangers that's far below the class of 'traditional' devils. |
| 321 | * MadeOfIron: Got shot point blank four times. He complained about eight new holes in his suit, then threw the gunner into a deathtrap. [[spoiler:After he gets a chunk of his guts blown out by Felicia - this time using his own puresilver bullets, which are specifically intended to kill devils - and is hurled off the Yamga mid-flight, Cio casually remarks that he’s probably ''still alive''.]] |
| 322 | * MusicalEpisode: When gathering his gang he breaks out into "Bring Me A Bottle" which is apparently a traditional devil drinking song. It has been performed by fans a few times. |
| 323 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: At first he appears to have no long term aspirations and only wants to break into Yre to get his hands on some booze money. [[spoiler: In his confrontation against Cio on the Yamga, he reveals his true intentions to be much more clever and terrifying than it initially seemed.]] |
| 324 | -->[[spoiler: ''"You stupid bint. You think I'm an idiot? Nobody robs the Grand Bank and gets away with it. This booze money is a ''bonus.'' I never expected us to actually succeed.

| 326 | * ShootTheDog: A big fan of it, being perfectly willing to kill even allies to get the job done. [[spoiler:This culminates in gunning down the whole heist crew once they start fighting amongst themselves at the worst time imaginable, then trying to shoot Cio once it's clear she's no longer useful to him.]] |
| 327 | * StupidEvil: To the point that Charon chides him on it. Charon doesn't have any objection to throwing someone into the invisible trap ''per se''. They're devils, betrayal is inevitable. [[DoWrongRight It's just that he wasted a perfectly good mechanic to do it]], ''who could have probably disarmed the trap'', and now they don't have someone to deactivate the rest. Not to mention that he set off the mechanic's DeadMansSwitch. |
| 328 | * {{Tengu}}: His mask, with its solid-red coloration, long straight nose, and toothy grin, is clearly patterned after a traditional Tengu mask. |
| 329 | * TokenEvilTeammate: With the emphasis on "evil", [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder not on "teammate"]]. Out of the whole heist team, Oscar is the one willing to do the most ruthless things to get into Mammon's vault. |
| 330 | * VisualInnuendo: Not so much subtext as actual text. Literally, he has a sign saying Open on his robes... |
| 331 | * WalkingArmoury: He habitually carries around quite a few guns on his person, mostly antique flintlocks. |

| 345 | * AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Gets one of his arms and half his tail shot off by Oscar during the escape from the vault.]] |
| 346 | * BerserkButton: [[spoiler:Xand and Nxor trying to betray and rob the rest of the crew makes him go utterly ballistic.]] |
| 347 | * ChangedMyMindKid: During the fight with the Priest-Clerks, he decides to get out while he can and flees. He later changes his mind and rejoins the group in the vault, helping fight off more priests as the group makes their escape. |
| 348 | * DragonHoard: He technically isn't a dragon, but he's lizardlike and he's first seen perching on a large mountain of gold and treasures that his dead have collected. |
| 349 | * DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:Twofold -- his admiration for Mammon's avarice and ruthlessness becomes this in retrospect, since all that that ultimately got Mammon was endless regrets and a massive hoard he no longer cares about. Secondly, in spite of admiring Mammon's ability to backstab his own family, Charon himself never gets to backstab anyone: He ends up chiding Oscar for throwing away a perfectly usable mechanic for no reason, and later goes ballistic when Xand and Nxor try backstabbing him.]] |
| 350 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:After getting stabbed repeatedly by Priest Clerks, nearly robbed by Xand and Nxor, shot by Oscar, tossed off the Yamga, and generally smacked around for a lot of the heist, he catches a lucky break and lives to cart off a ton of treasure with Cat Master.]] |
| 351 | * HealingFactor: Appears to have this, with many of his bleeding wounds disappearing between fights. [[spoiler:In his last appearance, he appears to be in the process of re-growing the arm he lost to Oscar.]] |
| 352 | * TheMinionMaster: Has control over many of the Beggar Dead of Throne, who bring him treasures. |
| 353 | * NaturalWeapon: Unlike the rest of the crew, Charon carries no weapon, preferring to fight with his bare claws. |
| 354 | * PimpedOutDress: Wears a wig or hood made entirely out of gold coins. |
| 355 | * PragmaticVillainy: He agrees that it was a bit early for Suuz to pull off a backstab and lambastes Oscar for wasting a perfectly good mechanic. |
| 356 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The most cautious of the thieves, Charon recommends turning back after the needless death of 1-11, and just turns tail and bolts during the massacre of the Priest-Clerks. |
| 357 | * SkullForAHead: As a green devil, he has a skull-like face with notable incisors. |

| 364 | |
| 365 | A Pale Devil and the Muscle of the crew. Has a fondness for cats, and murder. |
| 366 | ---- |
| 367 | * AnimalMotifs: Cats. He seems to share a special connection with the alley cats of Throne and looks somewhat feline himself. |
| 368 | * TheBeastmaster: He uses cats both to scout and as minions. |
| 369 | * TheBrute: His job is to remove obstacles that are in the way. "Obstacles" being people. |
| 370 | * DeadlyEuphemism: He's a "professional obstacle remover"; the obstacles he removes being, of course, people. |
| 371 | * TheDreaded: According to the AltText on his debut page, he has built such a reputation for himself that people on the outskirts of Throne are now afraid of ''cats'' because they ''might'' signify that he's close. |
| 372 | * EyesDoNotBelongThere: His mask is a mishmash of randomly arranged eyeholes. |
| 373 | * KindheartedCatLover: Seems to be less treacherous than your average devil, and as the name implies, he really likes his cats. |
| 374 | * MoralityPet: A literal pet; Cat Master brings a cat with him to the heist and tries his best to keep it safe at all points. [[spoiler:The cat turns out to be integral at getting the crew through the invisible maze, as it can sense the traps inside. It also helps Cio fight Oscar, distracting Oscar just as he was drawing his gun on Lucky Felicia, and is last seen rejoining Cat Master after the heist.]] |
| 375 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: As it turns out, he has four arms underneath his coat. |
| 376 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: He's a Pale Devil, so he's at the bottom of the totem pole of Devil hierarchy, and supposedly one of the least powerful in the heist crew. [[spoiler: He ends up being one of the most crucial members of the heist crew and is in the half of the crew that survives to the end.]] |
| 377 | * TheSpeechless: As a Pale Devil, he ''cannot'' speak. |
| 378 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Comes off as the most friendly and trustworthy of the heist crew, though that doesn’t say much for devils. According to ''Broken Worlds'' this is actually common for Pale Devils, as they usually lack the initiative to be treacherous. |

| 387 | A sibling pair of Devils masquerading as a larger Gold Devil, consisting of Blue Devil sister Xand and her Crimson Devil brother Nxor. Together, they act as Conmen and Muscle of the heist crew. |
| 388 | ---- |
| 389 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Nxor has a strong protective instinct towards Xand. |
| 390 | * BlatantLies: They're ''totally'' a Gold Devil. |
| 391 | * BrotherSisterTeam: [[AllThereInTheManual According to their profile in Infinite Devil Engine]] they're siblings. Like all Devil families, it's based in choice and belief rather than genetics, but the two get on great nonetheless [[spoiler:and even backstab the remaining crew in full agreement with each other]]. |
| 392 | * {{Cephalothorax}}: Nxor doesn't seem to have a separate head, with his mask and face making up his torso instead, with his arms attacked to his temples. |
| 393 | * GeniusBonus: Their names are logic gates. XAND and NXOR, given the same inputs, the will produce the same outputs. |

| 395 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: They end up getting killed by Oscar, and unlike some of the rest of his crew, their deaths stick]]. |
| 396 | * ManipulativeBitch: ZigZagged, with Xand. She prides herself on her supposed "silver tongue" and ability to trick people into thinking they're a Gold Devil, but [[BadLiar she isn't always that successful with it]], leaving Nxor to save them both. |
| 397 | * PaintedTunnelRealTrain: Xand is an ''extremely'' good painter, so much so that she can fool the reader into thinking that the gateway she just painted on a wall is real. |
| 398 | * ThePowerOfActing: Xand's really good at impersonating a Gold Devil. That's almost her only ability, but it seems to be serving her well. |

| 442 | An expert lockpicker hired by Cio for the heist crew in ''Seeker of Thrones''. [[ExactWords She's there to open the Door.]] |
| 443 | ---- |
| 444 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Her outfit has a Japanese motif but she herself has brown skin, green eyes, and indeterminate facial features. |
| 445 | * AnArmAndALeg: She has her left arm bitten off when [[spoiler:she's fed to the Door]]. |
| 446 | * BadassBoast: Gives one after [[spoiler:escaping the Door and beating Oscar in a shootout]]: "There's a reason they call me Lucky Felicia." |
| 447 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: [[spoiler:As Oscar finds out the hard way.]] While she may look harmless she's still someone who regularly goes on heists with [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder devils]] - anyone stupid enough to do this and survive is not to be trifled with. |
| 448 | * CatGirl: Distinctly feline-themed, with her outfit and catlike eyes. She also survives [[spoiler:being fed to the Door, helps Cio take down Oscar, and runs off with the crew's treasure in the end]], alluding to a cat's nine lives. |
| 449 | * TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After being betrayed by Oscar, she survives and comes back to kill him in revenge.]] |
| 450 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: Out of the entire Heist Crew (possibly excluding Cat Master), she is the only one who could be said to have gotten what they wanted out of it, [[spoiler:even though it cost her arm]]. She takes her ([[DwindlingParty greatly enlarged, compared to the originally planned 1/10th]]) share of the loot and walks off into the proverbial sunset. |
| 451 | * ExactWords: Cio hired her as a Door Opener. [[spoiler:She's the only one who knew that it meant feeding Felicia to the door to open it, though Oscar certainly picks it up fast enough.]] |
| 452 | * EyepatchOfPower: A simple, stylish black eyepatch over her left eye. |
| 453 | * GenkiGirl: Remains perpetually peppy and upbeat even amidst the bloodshed and betrayal of the heist. [[spoiler: After returning from the maw of the Door, she's significantly less cheery. Once she collects her share of the heist's loot, her cheer starts to return.]] |
| 454 | * TheGunslinger: Totes a flintlock pistol powerful enough to punch holes through people at point blank range, and she can fire it from the hip. [[spoiler:Unfortunately the bullets aren't made of [[DepletedPhlebotinumShells puresilver]], so they don't work on devils. She later steals one of Oscar's rifled, which IS loaded with Puresilver, and successfully fires it one handed, balancing the rifle on the stump of the arm that was eaten by the door.]] |
| 455 | * HandicappedBadass: With the kind of work she does, presumably she doesn't wear the eyepatch just because it looks cool. [[spoiler: And even after losing her arm she manages to prove herself even more badass, by surviving an attempted murder and coming back to kill the devil responsible.]] |
| 456 | * MeaningfulName: Felicia, which is both the feminine form of the name "Felix," from Latin, both meaning "lucky," and a play on "felis", Latin for "cat." As for the "Lucky" part, you certainly have to be lucky to [[spoiler: survive being fed to an eldritch screaming door as human sacrifice]]. |
| 457 | * NotQuiteDead: Somehow survives [[spoiler: being fed to the Door]] and crawls into Ynamon, where she catches up with Oscar to take revenge. |
| 458 | * PreMortemOneLiner: When she shoots [[spoiler:Oscar, despite the fact that he was fighting Cio and Nyave and Cat Master's cat had gotten in the way too. Also she had recently lost an arm as well.]] |

| 471 | ->''"it's a pleasure to finally meet you. '''MY''' name is "'''MYSELF'''". '''I''' am that '''I''' am"'' |
| 472 | |
| 473 | The king of devils. Not much is known of Him, as he resides in a black iron coffin lashed with forty chains at the Heretic's Court. Despite being locked in a prison, most all major devil syndicate activities require his approval. |
| 474 | ---- |
| 475 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: The only thing Devils respect is strength, and the fact Himself is still unquestionably their ruler while locked inside a cage and kept watch over by the Council of 13 implies truly terrifying things about the level of power He sits on. |
| 476 | * BrownNote: Mixed with PaintingTheMedium; His speech balloons have a tendency to "snag" on the bars of his cage, leaving deep gouges of molten or rusted metal where His words have touched. |
| 477 | * DealWithTheDevil: By His own admission, He loves a good wager. He ''technically'' makes one with Allison, though exactly how much Allison has screwed herself over by having to 'spare Him a thought' when she eventually wins is yet to be revealed. |
| 478 | * TheDon: All "organized" devil-based crime in the city is run by him. While he is sealed in a box. |
| 479 | * EldritchAbomination: The closest thing to it in the setting, albeit an extremely polite one. His existence itself is a violation of creation's underlying laws, and unlike True Royalty He doesn't seem to be ignoring them so much as fighting them through his mere existence. |
| 480 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: [[WordOfGod Word of God]] states that Himself started existence out as a run-of-the-mill pale devil, before becoming the king of devils. |
| 481 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste: He "loves formalities", offers his supplicants tea, and has a very well-appointed office -- though what he does with a writing desk is anybody's guess. |
| 482 | * MeaningfulName: His name suggests that he is not subject to the [[IKnowYourTrueName naming rules of ordinary devils]] and directly parallels the in-universe religious doctrine that "The true name of God is I." It also implies that he is an [[EldritchAbomination unbound devil.]] |
| 483 | * MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: ZigZagged. On one hand he's unable (or unwilling) to get out of his tiny coffin, on the other hand he still actively rules over devilkind and decides what syndicate activities can or cannot happen. |
| 484 | ** As mentioned, he loves formalities. One of the formalities he loves is his own imprisonment. |
| 485 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: In a world where a demon is more powerful the less names they have, Himself has no name at all. |
| 486 | * NothingIsScarier: The audience only sees his coffin. The closest we get to see of Him is the vague silhouette of an eye, and that's more than enough. |
| 487 | * TheOmniscient: He seems to know what everyone of importance thinks and does, as demonstrated by knowing what Allison said to Cio about not being her friend, and apparently what Cio's first thoughts were when she first saw Allison (namely, how fast she could slit her throat and take her key). |
| 488 | * PunnyName: He’s [[SatanicArchetype the devil Himself]]. |
| 489 | * RealityWarper: [[https://killsixbilliondemons.tumblr.com/post/143152334060/if-himself-is-unmasked-how-does-he-have-the Abaddon says]] that He's "sovereign from things like death, decay, or time" because his [[MeaningfulName unique]] [[IKnowYourTrueName name]] has severed him from reality as most know it. |
| 490 | * SatanicArchetype: The closest equivalent in the comic's verse. Moreover, his statement "I am that I am" is spoken by God in Literature/{{the Bible}}. |
| 491 | * SealedEvilInACan: Kept in place by a chained coffin. The primary function of the Countil of Thirteen is to keep him from getting out. It's implied that he mostly stays in there because he ''chooses'' to. |
| 492 | * VerbalTic: As shown in the above quote, he emphasizes personal pronouns that refer to himself. |
| 493 | * WrongContextMagic: He is an intelligent devil without a mask, which is [[OxymoronicBeing a complete paradox]]. His true name of "Himself" means that reality does not apply to him. |

| 681 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He pretty openly views Omun Vash with utter contempt and is only working with him because the pay’s decent. The second he decides the money’s not worth the work/danger, he tells Vash to piss off and splits. |
| 682 | * GeniusBruiser: What makes him even more dangerous than the average Devil; he’s got the patience and smarts to learn fist arts and think strategically. |
| 683 | * ImplacableMan: He’s extremely durable and [[NoSell No Sells]] several of Allison’s attacks. It takes White Chain [[BigDamnHeroes joining in]] to even hurt him to any degree. |

As an old associate of Cio's, he is one of the first stops of 82 White Chain during their hunt for Cio in ''Kill Six Billion Demons''. |
| 699 | ---- |
| 700 | * AllThereInTheManual: White Chain calls him a Blue Devil, despite his mask being red. As Number 1 was introduced before the rules of Devils had been fully established, this led to some questioning as to his nature until the tumblr called him a Demi-Imp: A Red Devil that has gone so long without making a new pact that he has been reduced in stature and standing. |
| 701 | * BlackSpeech: Notable in that he only speaks in the tongue of devils, even to people who speak normal Universal Metaconstant. |
| 702 | * TheImp: As either a blue devil or a crimson devil so down on their luck that they're practically blue, Number 1 is not particularly dangerous or impressive. White Chain makes him cry, even Cio intimidates him, and during the war in Hell 72 he's seen hiding under a table to escape the violence. |
| 703 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: His actions in telling the hundreds of people at Hell 71 about the unclaimed Key in Allison's head has resulted in the Guild War of Hell 71 and the Pursuers being formed to hunt down Allison. |

| 919 | !!The Pursuers |
| 920 | |
| 921 | A group of 108 mercenaries and sellswords who are chasing after Allison and company to get a bounty from Praman Nand. |
| 922 | ---- |
| 923 | * CarnivalOfKillers: They're all competing against one another to capture Allison and company for the bounty. In the words of Eris-Lo Kai: |
| 924 | -->"The gate's a short trip from here. And then, ''finally'', we can get back to killing each other!" |
| 925 | * GoldfishPoopGang: They're primarily comedic and have a knack for showing up just when everything's at its most chaotic, but ultimately serve as little more than speed bumps for the bigger players in the story. |
| 926 | * MauveShirt: They get a bit of characterization and personality, and have unique designs and names, but they're still regularly killed off in major fights. |
| 927 | * Mystical108: Their number, which, interestingly, is also the number of "burning stars" Jadis foresaw as following the Rising King. Author comments state that new members join at roughly the same rate as others end up being killed off. |
| 928 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: they are by no means weak, and given they make a living off of fighting in a world where devils, [[AngelicAbomination angels]] and mystical martial artists roam the streets, its safe to assume they are pretty dangerous individuals by most metrics... too bad they are up against [[PhysicalGod demiurges]] and their cronies, who range from [[OneManArmy one man armies]] to [[PersonOfMassDestruction persons of mass destruction]]. |
| 929 | * ShooOutTheClowns: The last time any of them (except Maya) makes any kind of major appearance is in ''King of Swords'', [[spoiler:during Solomon's Battle Royale. A few of them can be seen observing Jagganoth's arrival from a distance in ''Breaker of Infinities'']]. What with the story's rapidly expanding scope in the two last books, none of them are at this point barely relevant if they're even alive. |
| 930 | * UnknownRival: None of the major players seem even aware of their existence; whenever they do get a chance to finally ambush Allison, they're usually unceremoniously killed by someone else. Allison ''does'' recognize Eris-Lo Kai when they fight during the TournamentArc, but she never gives any indication that she actually knows his name or anything about him. |

| 943 | * BeardOfEvil: Sports a pointy one. |
| 944 | * BlackMagic: He's a Vatra, practitioner of several forbidden arts. |
| 945 | * EvilOldFolks: Clearly getting on in years, and also a practitioner of illegal magic. He survived the Battle of Hell 71 and the War of Teacups despite looking to be in his mid-sixties at the earliest. |
| 946 | * MagicCompass: Possesses a small top-like device which he can use to divine the location of Allison's Key of Kings. This leads to several of the other Pursuers following him around and letting him track the Key for them, to his annoyance. |
| 947 | * SwordPlant: Makes his introduction by hopping over several people, planting his sword in the ground and balancing on top of it. |
| 948 | * ThirdEye: In his forehead. |

| 987 | \ |
| 988 | A drunk, overweight, occasionally philosophical and occasionally jolly beggar knight with an InstantDeathRadius of about five arms' lengths, Maya joins the pursuers after the War in Hell 71.

| 1000 | ---- |
| 1001 | * TheApprentice: She's trying to be Maya's after the TimeSkip. While Maya is happy to chat with her, she's not really interested in being a teacher. |
| 1002 | * {{BFS}}: Uses a ''no-dachi'' in battle, which is almost as long as she is. |
| 1003 | * BloodKnight: She aspires to be a Belligerent Knight. She later shows up following Maya and referring to her as 'master', implying she's trying to become a Mendicant (or whatever Maya is) instead. |
| 1004 | * {{Fangirl}}: Becomes one for Maya following the events of Book 2. In fairness, its hard not to be little impressed by seeing a CoolOldLady slice an Angel in two with a broken sword. |
| 1005 | * {{Samurai}}: Dresses in samurai armour in her first appearance. As of ''King of Swords'' she's traded it for a samurai-like ''hakama'' and a straw hat. |

| 1019 | * FullFrontalAssault: He fights his foes head-on while almost completely naked, save for a loincloth for modesty's sake. |
| 1020 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: His species takes one thousand years to grow up, and 900 of them in infancy. |
| 1021 | * ThereWasADoor: Smashes through a wall at Mottom's palace, probably because he's too big to fit through the door. |
