Throne of Darkness Members
In General
- Artifact of Doom: All of them possess a cursed artifact that was the source of their powers, before the Hero takes each one upon defeating them.
- Big Bad: Each of them serve as the Arc Villain of their own arcs.
- Big Bad Ensemble: All of them are several of the Hero's enemies assembled together at the table.
- Harmless Villain: Quite a few of them are incompetent villains who don't actually do any harm, but...
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: Some of them turn out to be quite a danger to Lore after all.
- Unreliable Narrator: All of them tell stories of their encounters with the Hero, from their point of view, which was not quite how it actually happened.
- Villains Out Shopping: During Ziri's Bacon Cat Fortress, they all take a trip to the beach.
Mysterious Figure
The mysterious leader of the gathered villains, cloaked in darkness.
- Anticlimax Boss: In-universe, the quest log comments that he really isn't that hard to beat.
- Catchphrase: "We are gathered here for one purpose."
- By the time of the fourth meeting, everyone has gotten sick of hearing him say it.
- Con Man: When he was running the Cursed Artifacts shop, he scams the Hero by having him/her walk through a corridor of cursed artifacts which attack him/her, forcing the Hero to fight and destroy the items. Given the "You Break It, You Buy It", the end result is the Hero ends up being indebted by 10 million gold. And all this time, there was a backdoor the Hero could have used to avoid breaking the items.
- Dark Is Evil: Played straight, as he's the overall villain of the Throne of Darkness, and is shadowy in appearance.
- Expy: Visually, he is strikingly similar to the Mysterious Stranger who gave Sepulchure the Necrotic Blade of Doom.
- Fourth-Wall Observer: He deserves special mention, as even though all characters can freely break the fourth wall, this guy goes a step further and is able to add features into the game including a "Bladder Meter".
- Greater-Scope Villain: He was the one who gathered all the villains together to begin with, well at least until The Reveal...
- In the Hood: Always dons a hood over himself.
- Manipulative Bastard: As a skilled Con Man, he pulls of a pretty effective scam on the Hero.
- Mysterious Stranger: Nothing is known about him, his identity, or his motives. That is until The Reveal...
- No Name Given: Only known as "Mysterious Figure", until The Reveal.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Turns out "Mysterious Figure" is just a cover to disguise his real name, Dr. Dryden Darkwood.
- The Quiet One: He usually sits there looking ominous and foreboding, which the other villains point out when he decides to speak up in "4th Dimensional Pyramid".
- The Reveal:
- The two-part finale finally reveals his true identity... it's none other than the Cursed Antique shopkeeper, Dr. Dryden Darkwood.
- But then it's revealed, Mysterious got defeated by the Hero just before the meeting. So the person sitting at the table the whole time, wearing the hood and listening to the stories, was in fact, the Hero him/herself.
- Weakened by the Light: He doesn't appear to like light, shielding himself with an umbrella when he's at the beach.
Vaden
The Deathknight Lord of Bone Castle, who encounters the Hero while they are pillaging the castle.
- Alas, Poor Villain: It isn't hard to feel sorry for Vaden, considering he didn't have any obvious Evil Plan to harm innocents. He was just minding his business before the Hero decided to barge in and ruin his unlife.
- An Arm and a Leg: He loses his arm during the encounter with the Hero, and spends the rest of the Throne of Darkness Saga missing an arm.
- Bad Liar: Vaden claims the Hero went into his Castle of Bone for no reason other than to just randomly kill everything for loot. Xeven immediately picks up on this.
- Black Knight: He is a Deathknight Lord.
- Eldritch Location: His Bone Castle is either alive or undead. It also feeds off the heroes it kills to forever expand. The gauntlet he wears allows him to control it, but also binds him to the place since it is also part of the castle. It is eventually revealed to be created by Grimskull.
- Even Evil Has Standards: He is disgusted by Pax executing General Gall for losing to the Hero.
- Eyes Do Not Belong There: His armor is made of skulls, which have eyes that still blink.
- Fallen Hero: He was once a hero, before being possessed by the gauntlet and turning into a Deathknight.
- Harmless Villain: As far as villains go, he isn't much of a threat to the Hero. In fact he's a bit of a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds who had an unfortunate encounter with the Hero.
- Humiliation Conga: The Hero's adventure through Bone Castle puts him through one. Vaden has to watch the Hero kill all his minions, plunder his gold, ruin many of the castle's features, loses his helm that the Hero takes, being forced to escape through a toilet, had his pet slain, and eventually finds out the Hero planned to rescue him by freeing him of the gauntlet.
- Mook Horror Show: He's hardly a mook, but the entire quest chain reads like one. After spending the first half or so watching the hero crush his defences, he is reduced to fleeing while the Hero pursues him relentlessly. And all of this is presented from his viewpoint rather than yours.
- No Indoor Voice: As pointed out by Ziri, all of Vaden's dialogue is composed of capitals.
- "Not So Different" Remark: By his own admission, he was very much like the Hero before he became a Deathknight.
- The Undead: He lost his humanity once he got turned into a DeathKnight.
- Ungrateful Bastard: The Hero frees him from the gauntlet, but he still hates the hero bitterly. Though to be fair, the Hero utterly humiliated him earlier, albeit unintentionally.
- Villain Protagonist: Given his first person narrations throughout "Castle of Bone", he pretty much serves as this.
- Villain Respect: Not to the Hero, to Sepulchure, who is Vaden's idol.
- Was Once a Man: Once a human hero, but got turned into an Undead Deathknight Lord.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: The way he tells his story makes him seem very sympathetic, but had the Hero fail to stop him, the Bone Castle would have spread and consumed everything around it.
Xeven/Xeight
X7 or Xeven for short. A dark elf girl from a Bad Future who witnessed the Hero do something horrifying, and is determined to stop the Hero at all costs. Eventually she is replaced by the younger version of herself called Xeight.

- Apologetic Attacker: Xeight apologizes to the Hero when she declares the Hero must die.
- Badass Adorable: Only an 18 year old girl, but represents a huge threat to Lore and existence itself. Upon seeing her Tachyon blades, Sekt calls her the single most dangerous person sitting at the table, and starts to run away- only to come back saying it's too late to run far enough
- Bad Future: Her future is so bleak that she is willing to do anything to change it.
- The Chase: Throughout the "Paradox Portal" questchain, the Hero chases Xeven through time.

- Enemy Mine: Agrees to help the Hero after rescuing her from execution, but on the grounds that she can kill the Hero afterwards.
- Heroic Sacrifice: She saves the Hero's life from Mors Temporis, to return the favor of the Hero saving her from execution. However she dies in the process.
- Legacy Character: Is very similar to the Huntress from AdventureQuest, who also sliced through dimensional walls to traverse through space and time.

- My Future Self and Me: One of the portals she travels through has her meet her younger self, to which she gives her the diary that will allow her to start the journey to begin with.
- Meaningful Name: She has gone through a continuous loop of traveling through time and meeting her younger self, to which she names herself "X-" followed by the number of times she's met herself. The main version of herself is "Xeven", while the younger version of herself becomes known as "Xeight".
- My God, What Have I Done?: She is shocked when she sees the Vorefax, the physical embodiment of the End of Time, that she inadvertently unleashed.
- Mystical White Hair: Due to her elvish heritage.
- Noodle Incident: It's never revealed exactly what the Hero did to make Xeven travel through time and put all of existence at stake, in a bid to assassinate him/her. Though there are implications she is avenging her father Chaos Lord Vath, who the Hero had defeated and indirectly killed back in the "13 Lords of Chaos" Saga.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Her real name is unknown, and she instead goes by an alias.
- Pointy Ears: Like all elves.
- Portal to the Past: Xeven uses Tachyion Blades to create these and travel through time.
- Professional Killer: She is a time traveling assassin who has dedicated her life to killing the Hero.
- Rapid Aging: During the "Bacon Cat Fortress" questchain, Ziri uses the amulet to wish she would grow up, whereby she quickly reaches the age of Xeven. Ultimately subverted, as it was an illusion in Ziri's mind.
- Stable Time Loop: She meets her younger self and gives her the diary, allowing her younger self to start on the journey through time to begin with.
- Supernatural Gold Eyes: Due to her elvish heritage.
- Sympathy for the Devil: The Hero is her sworn nemesis, but she comes to respect the Hero and even gives her own life to save them. Xeight also feels sorry for the Hero after s/he falls victim to Ziri's fake Amulet of Wishes.
- Tag Along Kid: Sekt accuses her of being one. Then she pulls out the Tachyon Blades. Later, Xeight fills this role more literally, but given her apparent future badass status, it probably won't stick
- Timey-Wimey Ball: Xeven is supposed to have used a Stable Time Loop to recruit her younger self, but each time this happens there is a slight alteration (namely the name of her current incarnation), causing 8 different versions of a timeline to occur.
- Troll: On top of trying to stop the Hero, she also loves annoying him/her by leaving behind notes. Including a cake is a lie reference.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: She does not consider herself a villain, and believes her actions of stopping the Hero is to prevent an even worse event from occurring.
- You Killed My Father: It's heavily implied she started her journey to avenge her father, Chaos Lord Vath.
Ziri
A delusional Sneevil who possesses an amulet that gives him the power to make whatever he wishes come true.
- All of the Other Reindeer: Reveals he was always different from other Sneevils. He didn't like boxes, and was made fun of for talking about vampires, dragons, and robots.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Green skin like all Sneevils.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Ziri's mind tends to randomly hop topics.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Very literally in his case, as any of his wishes become reality. He also states this phrase himself.
- Butt-Monkey: Most of the other villains are annoyed by him. He even gets used by Pax to get repeatedly slammed on the table when he annoys the Drakel Warlord.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: Much more off the rails than anyone else at the table. Doesn't help that he pretty much lives in a literal Cloud Cuckooland. In the Throne of Darkness finale, he is even given the label "ZIRI, BAT@#$% CRAZY".
- Comically Cross-Eyed
- Denser and Wackier: Ziri's story is significantly more sillier and lighthearted than any of the other villains. Ziri in general is hard to take seriously at times due to how kooky he can be.
- The Determinator: He vows to be big one day.
- Et Tu, Brute?: The Hero lays one of Ziri in the finale, due to believing they were supposed to be friends. Though the Hero forgives him since Ziri has a "reputation" to maintain.
- Evil Is Petty: His ideas of evil are more along the lines of mischievous pranks than genuine sinister motives that threaten lives.
- Expy: Appears to be one of Mr. Mxy from DC comics, a 5th dimensional imp with reality warping powers.
- Fan Boy: Turns out the real reason he met the Hero at Yulgar's Inn was because Ziri is the Hero's biggest fan and wanted to meet him/her.
- Fourth-Wall Observer: Most characters can break the fourth wall to a degree, but Ziri does it in virtually every appearance.
- Genki Guy: Quite easily excitable.
- Harmless Villain: More of a troll than a real villain. It turns out he truly is harmless, since all his villainous deeds originating from his Amulet of Wishes was an illusion only he could see.
- Monster Clown: Has these in his castle.
- Our Goblins Are Different: Sneevils are Artix Entertainment's variants of goblins.
- Precision F-Strike: During "Mysterious Dungeon", Ziri tells the Hero "you're about to get your @$$ kicked", leading to him getting muted and his chat privileges revoked.

- Troll: Loves to annoy others.
- Villainous Breakdown: When it's revealed his Amulet doesn't really grant wishes, but merely makes the user think they've been granted.
Pax
The High Warlord of the Drakels, and extremely stuck-up and arrogant. He looks down upon the weak, and sees all non-Drakel races to be inferior.

- Immortality: The reason Pax continues winning the title of High Warlord is because he is immortal, and cannot be killed in battle.
- Kick the Dog: His race gathered weak creatures for the Death Pit Arena and had them fight to the death for amusement, and any survivors were killed using a torturesome device called the Death Pit Crusher, including a Moglin.
- Laser-Guided Karma: After having so many victims killed by the Death Pit Crusher, he himself is subjected to the same fate, twice, and no one feels any sympathy for him. He then loses his status as High Warlord to Twilly, and becomes the Death Pit janitor.
- Precision F-Strike: Ziri had previously used his wish amulet to mute Pax. When Ziri swears and he gets himself muted, Pax delightfully says "HA! serves you right you little @#$%!mel", leading Pax to get muted too.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: Drakels live for combat, and firmly believe themselves to be superior to all other races.
- "Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers one to Twilly over how pathetic and weak he is when he's about to kill the Moglin. He fails spectacularly when Twilly activates the Death Pit Crusher on Pax.Pax: Ssstronger than me? You filthy rat. Are you ssscared? You ssshould be... cause it'sss just us now. Because thisss... is a fight to the DEATH. Your very exissstance offends me. You're sssmall and weak... I'm SSSTRONGER than you... You're pathetic... I'm going to kill you, you little rabbit eared freak... And there is NOTHING you can do about it!
- Social Darwinist: As a member of a Proud Warrior Race, Pax looks down upon those that are weak and different, including an albino Drakel who is an outcast among them.

- Eldritch Location: Resides in a 4th Dimensional Pyramid, which is actually a tesseract.

- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Sort of. After the Hero dies for the final time from the Black Plague, Sekt saves the Hero by putting his/her remains in the restoring sarcophagus. Sekt's reasoning being that the prophesy stated he had to be the one to defeat the Hero, and as he failed to do so he saves the Hero instead.

- Precision F-Strike: He appears to drop the S-bomb when the Hero reveals s/he already collected a million Eye of the Gods.

The Hero: Whoa. Where'd you come from?
Scarletta: Oh brave and courageous hero!
The Hero: Oh man. I was just joking! I didn't think the mirror would actually talk back!

- Resurrection/Death Loop: The Hero is put through one that overlaps with a Stable Time Loop. Due to the strange nature of the Eldritch Location, it is possible for people to encounter versions of themselves from the recent future or past. "Future You" acts as the Quest Giver for the present Hero based on what they were told by the previous future version of themselves. This allows them to slowly progress through the Eldritch Location to collect an item called "Eye of the Gods", one million times. However going through each cycle, it results in you getting exposed to a deadly plague which kills you. Fortunately, the sarcophagus you woke up in at the start of the event conveniently revives anything put into it.

- Stable Time Loop:
- Future You acts as the Quest Giver, based on what quests the earlier version of him/herself gave to him/her.

- Inexplicably Identical Individuals: Pretty much all the Shattered Knights looks the same.
- It Amused Me: The reason one of the Shattered Knights helps the Hero is because they're bored with their role, but they come to regret it when the Hero makes it further than they expected and actually navigates the maze.
