* AdaptationalJerkass: The anime really exaggerates his more negative qualities. It doesn't help that most of his more sympathetic moments happen later and so never made it into the anime.

%%* LargeHam

* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:Lightning's evidence reveals Arthur is one of Section 13's clones. Arthur refuses to accept any of that as truth because that would mean everything the Uzai clan told him were lies to manipulate him.]]

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomokazuSeki (JP)

* EyesOutOfSight: His eyes are usually covered by his hair, although one of his eyes peeks through sometimes.

* UnscrupulousHero: To put it bluntly, when he gets called in to research or interrogate someone, he starts getting vicious. While interrogating a spy, he will even bring in their innocent family in order to get the information he wants. He later threatened a group of priests to get answers, despite having knowledge that speaking of it would kill them. He admits to not having a conscience or empathy that hold him back from crossing the line, so he will do anything to protect the world he loves with no concern of how many die for it.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He died protecting the clone that eventually become Arthur from Lucifer.]]

!!Tropes applying to all

An old man who stands in for the original Azazel. Unknown how much authority he actually has.

* ReplacementGoldfish: Azazel's nephilim bloodline died out some time ago so they had to find someone else to stand in for his Grigori representative.


!!Shemihaza (present)

The current Shemihaza representative.

* MuggleBornOfMages: [[spoiler:At this point, the Shemihaza blood has become so thin she is essentially human, with no demon powers of her own. She's still one of the top powers of a world spanning exorcist organization however.]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: She looked exactly like her daughter [[spoiler:Shiemi]] when she was younger.


!!Shemihaza (past)

The Shemihaza representative in charge before the Blue Night.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Managed to take out Lucifer during a rampage with a little help from Mephisto.]]
* LifeDrain: [[spoiler:Did this to Lucifer to stop his post Blue Night rampage, literally aging his body to the point of becoming dust.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:She felt she failed her position as one of the Grigori by not preventing the Blue Night from happening. She retired soon afterwards and left the job to her daughter.]]
* NeverMessWithGranny: [[spoiler:She was already an old woman when the Blue Night happened, and still capable of teaming up with Mephisto to stop Lucifer from continuing where Satan left off.]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler: She looks exactly like her daughter and granddaughter Shiemi when briefly de-aged by draining life force.]]
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: [[spoiler:In her day she was the only Grigori descendant to still have any of the original's powers.]]

[[folder:Grigori (original)]]
!!Azazel

Demon King of Air and Spirits, one of the founders of the Order.

* LukeIAmYourFather: Chapter 86 reveals that a clone of his is the biological father of Rin and Yukio, technically making him their uncle. In a case of GenerationXerox, clones can be considered twins, much like Rin and Yukio. Perhaps even more shockingly Shiro Fujimoto was also revealed to be a clone of his.
* TakenForGranite: He's currently a statue, having chosen not to take a new host when his previous one began to crystallize.


!!Shemihaza

One of the Sol, Emperor of Creation, one of the demons who sided with humans and founded the Order.

* PowerOfCreation: Is the Emperor of Creation.
* TakenForGranite: Like the others, she chose to crystallize rather than take a new host or go back to Gehenna.


!!Armumahel

One of the Sol, Emperor of Destruction, one of the demons who sided with humans and founded the Order.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:It turns out that prolonged exposure to him or anything derived from him can cause this in humans. It's actually a plot point that weapons made from him are super effective against demons but nearly impossible for humans to use safely.]]
* PowerOfTheVoid: Is the Emperor of Destruction and has the power to destroy/erode souls.
* TakenForGranite: Is currently a mass of crystals from which various weapons and holy water are synthesized, having chosen not to take a new host when the previous one began to crystallize.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Uzai Clan]]
A mysterious group of people who serve the Shemihaza Grigori.

* TheClan: An extended family devoted to Shemihaza.
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:The Uzai clan took Arthur in after the Blue Night and raised him to be the way he is, feeding him a fake story about his origins and memory loss and encouraging his rigid opinions.]]
* PerpetualSmiler: All of them smile all the time.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Section 13 ('''MANGA SPOILERS''')]]
A super secret laboratory that operated within the Japan Branch with the purpose of creating durable hosts for the demon kings.

!In general

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Every. Single. Clone.
* WouldHurtAChild: They used the clones as lab rats for elixer experiments. It was inhumane and often fatal, with few making it to their teens and only 2 known examples being at all functional in adulthood.
----

!Individuals

!!Drac

Head scientist in charge of elixer research.
----
* HighClassGlass: Wears a monocle.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: He cut off his arm to buy time to escape Lightning's pursuit.
* MadScientist: As the head of Section 13 he performed and oversaw decades of research into cloning and perfect regeneration, which has continued into the present under the Illuminati.
* TheMole: He's an Illuminati spy.


!!Goro

An Azazel clone brother of Shiro and Satan's first host body.
----

* CannotSpitItOut: [[spoiler:He was way too stubborn to admit he had feelings for Yuri, even though he knew he loved her all along. Tragically, he only told Yuri he loved her as she was dying in his arms.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: An early chapter dealt with Shiro's demon familiar turning going on a rampage. Shiro's plan for such an event should he be unable to be there? A bottle of catnip wine to calm [[MegaNeko Kuro]] down. The Shiro we see in the past is [[FantasticRacism far]] [[JerkAss from]] [[GoodIsNotNice that]].

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: [[spoiler:While they weren't exactly friends, he and Yuri met when they were children. She was friendly to him, but he was a {{Jerkass}} who didn't want to get along with anyone. As an adult, Shiro rejected a teen Yuri's LoveConfession, but finally agreed to be friends with her. He eventually admits he's always been in love with her as she's dying.]]

* CommitmentIssues: Shiro refused all relationships with women that went beyond a one night stand. [[spoiler:This also applied to Yuri despite Shiro reciprocating her feelings. He did eventually ask Yuri to let him raise her sons with her... only for her to die immediately after.]]

* TookALevelInKindness: He was a massive jackass in his youth [[spoiler:because of his upbringing as a test subject]]. He turned into the friendly and kindhearted man we're familiar with thanks to [[spoiler:his interactions with Yuri Egin]] and even more after he began raising her twin sons.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomokazuSeki (video game)

%%* BreakTheCutie: Her pregnancy had this effect.

* BrosBeforeHoes: She was willing to ignore a lot of Shiro's bad behavior, but as soon as he was a dick to Rick she slapped him and told him off more harshly than we ever see her be again. She later makes Shiro apologize to Rick before agreeing to be his friend.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She and Shiro met as children when she snuck into his hideout seeking shelter from the snow. When they grew older, Yuri fell in love with Shiro, but he rejected her because she was younger than him. Shiro agreed to be friends with her, but anyone who saw them together knew they had feelings for each other.

* AFriendInNeed: Is constantly helping people out, especially Shiro. This was also part of her deal with Rinka/Satan.

* MultiEthnicName: Her Japanese given name and Western surname suggest she's of mixed-heritage.

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:He hated being a clone because he was raised as a lab rat and saw all his clone siblings die.]]

[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lewin_light.png]]

* AffablyEvil: No matter what horrible thing he's doing he acts friendly and polite.

* EccentricMentor: To Ryuji as he finds him "interesting" and he also requested it.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Most people call him Lightning.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Lewin Light or Ruin Rite? The former is an actual name while the latter is probably just an example of {{Engrish}}.

** Rin faced several challenges as an exorcist due to how he was brought up by Shiro. After Shiro's death, Rin struggled to control his demon powers as a son of Satan. This made it difficult for him to establish himself as a force for good and gain recognition from the order that allowed him to live.

* ParentsAsPeople: He was a good man and loved his sons, but was far from perfect. While his parenting did make Rin into a good-hearted and heroic guy, Yukio is ''extremely'' troubled because he thinks Shiro only loved Rin and raised Yukio to be a ChildSoldier so he could protect Rin because Shiro treated the two so differently.

* {{Bishonen}}: He was designed to be handsome in a pretty way.

* PeekABangs: His eyes are usually covered by his hair, although one of his eyes peeks through sometimes.

* BitchSlap: She slapped Shiro when he took his jackassery too far by punching a fellow exorcist who was offering him a drink.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: She slapped Shiro when he took his jackassery too far by punching a fellow exorcist who was offering him a drink.

* LadykillerInLove: He was quite the womanizer in his youth and never looked for a meaningful relationship with any of the women he slept with. [[spoiler:The only woman he ever had serious feelings for was Yuri Egin, even though he never dared to confess those feelings until it was too late.]]

[[folder:Yuri Egin]]

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:She tried so hard and sacrificed everything to try to make Satan less destructive, but nothing stuck and the revelation that he killed her childhood family years ago showed her there had never been any chance.]]
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She loved [[spoiler:Shiro, who was a bad-tempered and violent rebel during their youth. Yuri could sense how troubled Shiro was because of his harsh childhood and hoped that she could touch the soft spot he kept hidden beneath his rough exterior.]]

* TheBeastmaster: Was one of the most accomplished Tamers the Order ever produced.
* BluffWorkedTooWell: [[spoiler:She gave herself to Satan and pretended to love him hoping to curb his worst impulses. This enabled the Order to pin all the blame for Satan on her.]]
* BreakTheCutie: Her pregnancy had this effect.

* DeathByChildbirth: [[spoiler:She died of blood loss and exhaustion after a difficult birth. Heavily implied this was the result the Order was aiming for.]]
* DestructiveRomance: [[spoiler:Her relationship with Satan destroyed her life and eventually killed her.]]
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:Shiro held her in his arms as she died, all while begging her to not leave him because he loved her.]]

* FondMemoriesThatCouldHaveBeen: [[spoiler:As Yuri was dying from the strain of giving birth to Satan's sons, she and Shiro talked about the happy life they could have shared if they had gotten married and raised Rin and Yukio together.]]

* FrameUp: [[spoiler:In order to conceal Section 13's existence and the facility's responsibility for Satan's incarnation, Mephisto tells the rest of the Order that Satan's invasion of the Japan branch was because Yuri invited Satan in.]]

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:As her body ran out of energy after the childbirth, Yuri gave a weak smile to Shiro and her twin sons.]]
* HeroicBSOD: She went into shock when [[spoiler:Satan revealed that he was the one who killed the people who took care of her as a child]].

* LastKiss: [[spoiler:As Yuri's body reached her limit, Shiro kissed her while he desperately begged her to not die on him.]]
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:As she gave out her last breath, Yuri asked her twin sons only one thing: to be good brothers to each other.]]
* TheLostLenore: To Shiro. Although he rejected her when she confessed to him, Shiro was in love with Yuri and deeply regretted having failed to really express it until it was too late. Her influence also made him into a better person. Shura noted Shiro changed a lot after he began raising Yuri's sons.
* LoveMartyr: She remained in love with [[spoiler:Shiro despite his {{Jerkass}} tendencies, something even her friends didn't understand. There's also her getting together with Satan, who is much worse.]]

* MoralityChain: [[spoiler:For Satan. The only times he didn't act like a monster were when he had Yuri's full attention to himself. Yuri took charge of Satan early in the development of his ego, when it looked possible to raise him to understand human morals. When he went full AGodAmI after a single night of consuming all the unfiltered information he wanted, Yuri agreed to be his lover and stay by his side until his clone body died so he wouldn't kill people.]]
** [[spoiler:Ultimately averted when Satan was revealed to have killed Yuri's hobo family, proving he was an obsessive monster all along.]]
* MoralityPet:
** For Shiro, in a sense. She was his FirstFriend (even if he wouldn't call her that), and the first person he's ever shown wanting to protect. She also forced him own up to his actions and apologize to Rick for punching him.
** Notably averted for Satan. His desire for her never at any point translated to being better towards others.

* ThePollyanna: As a child, she was was extremely cheerful despite the hardships of being homeless and eventually losing her adoptive family to a fire. As an adult, [[spoiler:she was able to pursue a relationship with Satan with a smile.]]

* QuestionableConsent: While she gave birth to the sons of Satan, [[spoiler:she only became his lover so he wouldn't hurt or kill anyone else until his body died.]]

* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:She gave herself to Satan in an attempt to calm him down and prevent more deaths. This worked in the short term, ending the siege that had already claimed the lives of hundreds of exorcists, but ultimately her efforts failed and resulted in the Blue Night due to the actions of the Order and Lucifer.]]

* SnowMeansDeath: [[spoiler:After she gave birth to the twins, Shiro took Yuri to a snow mountain to escape the True Cross Order that wanted her dead. While they were walking in the snow, Yuri's body reached its limit and she died while Shiro begged her to stay with him.]]
* StreetUrchin: She was homeless as a child. There were some other homeless people who raised her, but they ended up dying in a fire.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Yuri was the catalyst of the Blue Night tragedy through her interactions with Satan. In her childhood, she played with the "Rinka" fireballs which, unknown to her, were the premature form of Satan. This caused Satan to form his first attachment to anything, soon turning into possessive obsession, and he started desiring to obtain a human body to be with Yuri physically. His first experiment of DemonicPossession resulted in the death of Yuri's adoptive family. After several years, he successfully possessed the body of a Azazel clone. Through Yuri's education, "Rinka" developed intelligence and a personality that eventually became known as the evil Satan.]]
* WombHorror: [[spoiler:Her first son was born by literally exploding out of the birth canal in a blast of blue flames. No wonder she didn't live to tell it.]]

* LawfulGood: He's a high ranked exorcist who follows the Order’s rules and enforces order. He often does the latter by lifting people by the back of their shirt and carrying them away to calm down. That said, he's not so rigidly Lawful as to be inflexible and genuinely means well.
** He was the one to arrest Lewin after both encounters with Drac, and acted as his guard in both cases. Despite this he seemed more exasperated and confused than angry and still considers Lewin a comrade.
** During the meeting to discuss Lewin's findings, he was distressed to learn Lewin had tortured someone for information, also pointing out that information aquired that way was unreliable.
** He later breaks Lewin out of his cell, after a little prompting from Lucy, because if he was correct about Drac, then it was far more important to give chase immediately than to keep Lewin locked up.

* NiceHat: He's always wearing a hat that obscures his eyes.

* BlindingBangs: His eyes are covered by his hair.

* AdultFear: Your adopted child is the biological son of the most powerful demon in existence and if you let your guard down for even one minute said demon will possess you and use your body to literally drag him down to hell.
** [[spoiler:Your best friend and love of your life is in an abusive relationship and there's nothing you can do to help.]]
** [[spoiler:You suddenly find yourself a single parent of twins. You have no clue, no experience, and no support unless you go out and find some.]]
** Your younger, weaker, son can see demons and needs to toughen up to be able to handle it.
** Your older son is a troublemaker who struggles in all aspects of life and you have no idea how to help him.
** Your former apprentice has taken up self destructive habits that mirror your own at that age and all you can do is tell them to cut it out and try to respect themselves more.

* AdultFear: Spent her entire pregnancy knowing her babies would be killed as soon as she gave birth.

* AdultFear: His best friend suddenly went missing and his other friend, who is also missing friend's love interest, is refusing to communicate.

* BeautyMark: Several, and she passed them down to Yukio much to his ire.

* LovableSexManiac: His character profile reveals one of his favourite pastimes was collecting porn magazines and his office had very prominent posters of busty women in it. No matter how much of a perverthe was, Shiro was a very likable person and good father to his adopted sons.

* LadykillerInLove: He was quite the womanizer in his youth and never looking for a meaningful relationship with any of the women he slept with. [[spoiler:The only woman he ever had serious feelings for was Yuri Egin, even though he never dared to confess those feelings until it was too late.]]

* NunTooHoly:
** He was very interested in the ladies despite priests needing to be chaste.
** His character profile reveals one of his favourite pastimes was ''collecting porn magazines''.
** His office had very prominent posters of busty women in it.

* ReallyGetsAround: As soon as he was independent, he started picking up women for one night stands, [[spoiler:much to Mephisto's delight and Rin's embarrassment.]]
