open/close all folders
Main Story: Grand Gaia
Mistral
Juggernaut
A machine built by the Gods to defend the first region of Mistral from forces hostile to them, and the final boss of the same region.
- Damage Reduction: It can inflict Weak on your units, making them deal less damage than normal.
- The Juggernaut: Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and it's more huge than any monster you've dealt with prior.
- Mechanical Monster
- Our Centaurs Are Different: Its overall design is reminiscent of this.
- Shock and Awe: Its element in battle.
Demon Abaddon
A terrifying demon whom Karl and Seria were sent to deal with, and the final boss of Morgan, the second region of Mistral.
- Area of Effect: It casts these nearly every turn, so be prepared to have healing Items on hand if your units get in trouble.
- Casting a Shadow: Its element in battle.
- Eldritch Abomination: Demon or otherwise, Abaddon is definitely one. Its' heart and ribcage are both exposed, and its skin and bones are dark purple with red veins clearly running along its upper body and especially around its elongated neck.
- Names to Run From Really Fast: Abaddon means 'Destroyer' in Greek.
- Power Nullifier: It often Curses your units, preventing them from using their Brave Bursts for three turns.
- Turns Red: At 50% HP, Abaddon will begin unleashing slightly stronger attacks on your squad.
Creator Maxwell
- Mock Unit: Creator Maxwell > Inception God Maxwell
One of the Four Fallen Gods, and the most humanoid out of the four. Maxwell is the Goddess who rules over Creation and Destruction. She is the first villain you are tasked to take down, due to her attempting to open the Gate to Elgaia so she could invade it. She is also the former Mistress of the Disciple Kanon, and is the ruler of the Mistal region where she resides awaiting you at the Palace in St. Lamia.
- Aerith and Bob: The normal-sounding Maxwell to her fellow gods Cardes, Zevalhua, and Afla Dilith.
- Final Boss: Of the Mistral region and initially the whole game, at least until more of the story and the game were added in through later updates.
- Gender-Blender Name: Since Maxwell is not a name usually associate with females, her gender was not revealed as such until her first on-screen appearance in Trial 003.
- God Is Evil: She is one of the Four Fallen Gods, ruling over the aspects of Creation and Destruction.
- Javelin Thrower: Her weapon, and she is only able to throw it in her Trial.
- Light 'em Up: Her element as the final boss and of that as a Mock Unit.
- Light Is Not Good: She is still hell-bent on ending humanity, after all.
- Power Floats
- Super Natural Gold Eyes: Since she is a Goddess, this is justified.
- White Hair, Black Heart: With hints of the color red at the tip of her head.
Tropes exclusive to her Mock Unit:
- Critical Hit Class: Your entire team becomes this if you set her as the Squad Leader. As an added bonus, her Super Brave Burst also raises their Critical Hit Rates.
- Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: One of her Leader Skill's effects also boosts Elemental Weakness Damage.
- Reality Warper: One ability she shares with her original.
Skramya
An extra boss recently discovered within Mistral, resting in the Egor Mountains. A small nation once tried to use this demon, but the attempt backfired and the nation ended up getting destroyed by Skramya. Her rage did not end there, however, and Skramya easily annihilated most of the other nations around Mistral. Orna, a beautiful knightess who returned from training in Morgan, appeared and then cleverly sealed the demon away into a deep sleep. She is available to be challenged in the Egor Mountains after you've beaten Maxwell.
- Area of Effect: Some of her special attacks can hit all of your units, so be careful!
- Bullying a Dragon: As per her backstory, a nation that tried to control her pressed a button that invoked her rage, destroying said nation along with a few others around Mistral.
- Death by Irony: A nation gets destroyed by a super-powered demon it tried to control.
- An Ice Person: Naturally, given where you are battling her.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: One nation tried to control her (given it's a small nation, they probably wanted her power for their continued survival), only to royally piss her off and end up getting destroyed by her.
- Making a Splash: As a boss, this is her element.
- Our Demons Are Different: She more resembles a humanoid ice statue who doesn't like being used.
- The Paralyzer: Her attacks often cause Paralysis, and if your whole squad is affected, your units are good as dead.
- Red Herring: The Gods are this to Skramya, where they were believed to be the ones who destroyed the nations in Mistral.
Cordelica
Grantos
An angry Giant that was sealed within the land of Cordelica. Its rage as it starts waking up begins to wreck the whole continent, making it the Summoner's priority to defeat it as soon as possible to prevent it from further destroying the area.
- Area of Effect: It has two of these, so be prepared to make your units Guard every now and then.
- Unstoppable Rage: That needs to be stopped, or otherwise, Cordelica might end up being destroyed through a series of earthquakes.
Grand Jelly
This creature was an ordinary utility monster used by the Giants of Cordelica to take care of their garbage. However, as it absorbed so much garbage over the years, it grew too big to be handled by them and was eventually left to its own devices. Fiora, a woman cursed with old age by the Gods that happened to know of its ability to take in spells as well, allowed herself to be swallowed by it. Thanks to this gamble, the Grand Jelly absorbed her curse and she was freed from its effects. Grand Jelly was then finally sealed within the Igana Falls by her until a recent earthquake released it from containment. It is available to be challenged after you've beaten Grantos.
- Area of Effect: For an extra boss, this thing has a few:
- "Liquid Solution" is a Fixed Damage Attack that also dispels it's targets of their buffs.
- "Drink it down." is a massive single-target Water (and Earth) attack.
- "Decomposition" is another powerful Water (and Earth) attack.
- "Melt the World" is an unbelievably strong Fixed Damage Attack that deals 20,000 damage to all your units on top of draining their BB Gauges down to 0. It is preceded by two other 'attacks', "Jiggly" and then "Violently Jiggly". Don't expect any of your units to survive this dangerous attack if you haven't made them Guard or use Mitigation, Angel Idols and the like.
- Blob Monster: And a very lethal one at that too, even if it doesn't look like it.
- Making a Splash: Strangely enough, it attacks with Water. This is perhaps due to it being a living jelly in nature. Mono-Fire and Thunder squads of units best beware.
- Status Infliction Attack: It can inflict Poison, Weakness, Sickness and Curse to your units through its attacks. Set a unit whose Leader Skill involves immunity from said ailments, and you should be spared most of the trouble you can get from fighting this thing. If you can't, bring the appropriate Items instead.
- Trash of the Titans: Trash of the Giants, more like. It was used to take care of this for the Giants until it grew too big for them, as evidenced by the remains of the victims it has consumed around its body.
- Turns Red: At around 50% HP, it uses an ability called "Extreme Softening", which gives Grand Jelly an INSANE Defense buff, practically making it so that most attacks to it will deal 1 to 50 points of Scratch Damage. Once this happens, Poison it or otherwise you'll have a really, really bad time trying to kill it.
- Weaksauce Weakness: Poison, especially after it buffs its' own Defense.
Palmyna
Emperor of Amdahl
- Making a Splash: His element.
- Multi-Armed and Dangerous: He has four arms: one holding a spear, another holding an axe, another holding a shield, and the last one to spare.

- Stealth Expert: He is so agile and stealthy not even the gods can determine where he is until it's too late.
Cardes the Malevolent
- Mock Unit: Cardes the Malevolent > Sovereign God Cardes
The second Fallen God that the party faces in the storyline and the most demonic one. Long ago, Cardes was sealed by the Four Heroes of Palmyna in the Spirit World. However, the seal eventually become weaken overtime with little time before he is unsealed again, causing the party to fight him in order to prevent such. He is the former master of Tora and the master of Zebra.
- Casting a Shadow: Its element.
- Walking Shirtless Scene
- White Hair, Black Heart
Tropes exclusive to his mock unit:
- Status Buff: His Leader/Friend skill reduces the party's BB gauges by roughly 25%, allowing for faster Brave Burst charging, and also helps reduce damage from Light and Dark enemies.
Valmodora
- Shock and Awe: Her element.

Agni Region
Granvalm
- Light 'em Up: Its element.

Zevalhua the Supreme / Divine Emperor Zevalhua

Not only does she has to face the summoners, but she also has to be wary of her fellow Fallen God Afla Dilith's power. She is the former Mistress of Alpha with Mare as her Disciple.
- Dark Is Evil
- Gender-Blender Name: Due to being fictional name, it is not possible to tell gender from it which lead to the localizer assumes that "she" is male before her appearance in game.
- God Is Evil
- More Teeth than the Osmond Family: Her lower draconic body.
- Samus Is a Girl: All the pronoun and title used by far has shown no sign of Zevalhua being female until you confront her. Justified since her appearance wasn't revealed to the localizer until many months later and due to her gender neutral name/title and Japanese Pronoun.

Tropes exclusive to her mock unit:

- Status Infliction Attack: Her Brave Burst has a chance to inflict random status ailments, and her Super Brave Burst has a 30% chance to reduce enemies' Attack and Defense by 30%.

Vriksha
Gigorom and Demon Duglere
- Dual Boss: You fight Gigorom and Duglere together in Lanara.
- Green Thumb: Gigorom's element.
- Shock and Awe: Duglere's element.

Click here for evolutions
Afla Dilith's Disciple.
- Cassandra Truth:The heroes don't believe him when he said Lucius is evil. He's right.
- Casting a Shadow: Like the other disciples, this is his element in battle.
- Friendly Enemy: Not friendly per se, since he's not above berating the Summoner and friends (and humanity in general, really), but he's content to just leave the group alone and even advising them to take another path to Alnakeid Castle since the way through Danrard Fortress is unsafe.
- Manipulative Bastard
- Walking Shirtless Scene
Tropes exclusive to his mock unit:

- Early-Bird Cameo: She can be seen spying on Tilith, Lugina, and Paris in Aldahlia.

God Lucius > Multifarious Lucius > Amorphous Lucius
- See his profile here.
WST-1096
This creature is one of a certain dark sorcerer's experiments made during Bariura Empire's last years. Apparently, this creature is made from people who had lost their ways, turned into an abomination by the sorcerer in one of his many laboratories.
- Eldritch Abomination: Its form consists of numerous hands, skull, mouths, and mountains of corpses.
- Green Thumb: Its element in battle.
Main Story: Ishgria
Celgrad
War Demon Shusui
- Unit: Wicked Warrior Shura / Heavenly Rift Shura
For tropes pertaining to his past days as Shura, go here.
- Blood Knight: Just like his master Raaga.
- Determinator: He repeatedly hounds after your party despite his multiple defeats at your hands and from others.
- Meaningful Rename: Shura took part of Hisui's name to form "Shusui", the name he's known as nowadays.
- Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Again, just like his master Raaga. Though he didn't have them at first; only growing them as he matured.
- Noble Demon: Fights you and your friends not because he is evil, but simply just to test and further hone his strength against your party while not holding any real ill-will. Which makes his death at the hands of Mora in Estria all the more shocking. Even Paris said his defeat left a bitter taste in her mouth.
- Passing the Torch: He uses his last words to tell you, the Summoner, to become the strongest being that there ever is.
- Playing with Fire: His element in battle.
- Recurring Boss: Shows up and fights you at least once in every Ishgria region so far. Even in his own region, Celgrad, he is fought three times as himself and once as a Shadow.
- In fact, he's so recurring that when he doesn't show up, Seria jokes on how it's been lonely without him around.
- His status as such becomes a Running Gag in "The Correct Path" Grand Quest, where you have to fight him at least three times to get the Golden Ending. Diana, Colt, Fadahl, and Ivris even lampshaded his persistence multiple times.
- Shock and Awe: In Raid Battles, one of the blades he equips is Thunder-elemental.
- Superboss: For the whole of Raid Class 5's Missions in Raid Battle. Defeating him nets you a promotion to Raid Class 6.
- Super-Persistent Predator: To the point where he shows up to fight you while heavily wounded after previously fighting Owen and getting caught in Mora's many traps in Estria.
- Verbal Tic: When he shows up, he always says "I am War Demon Shusui." And occasionally, he repeats it before he continues talking.
Lem
Goddess Mora
Enemy forms: Goddess Mora / Guile Demon Mora / Glimmering Mora / Supreme Goddess Mora
The second of the Eight Demon Lords. She claims to be a former goddess who was banished by Lucius to this forsaken land. Much of her motives remain unclear, and her interest seems to not go with the other demon lords.
- All Your Powers Combined: As Supreme Goddess, Mora absorbed almost all of every other Demon Lords' power. "Almost all" since she was too late to absorb the original Beiorg's power, incompatible with Mordlim's, and didn't need Kalon's.
- Climax Boss: The fight against her and the stolen powers of Shusui, Melord, Amu Yunos, and Barion serves as one for the whole Ishgria storyline.
- Final Boss: While all the other Demon Lords are this in their respective regions, it's notable for her because she is the Final Boss in not one but two regions: Lem and Estria.
- In the Blood: Her Take Over the World scheme is clearly influenced by Adel, tempered by only fighting when it's necessary, just like Savia.
- Late-Arrival Spoiler: As if her being placed on this page isn't giving it away, she is obviously not the goddess she claimed to be.
- Light Is Not Good: She is Light-elemental and has an angelic appearance, but doesn't align herself on any good-willed side.
- Manipulative Bitch: She first attempts to mislead the Summoner and Paris and traps them like she did to Seria and Lugina, as well as using them to get rid of the other Demon Lords. In an aversion, the former two aren't as foolish as she thought, and defeating the Demon Lords are the Summoners' task anyway.
- Ms. Exposition: After her defeat, she gladly explains the overall situations of Ishgria's regions to the Summoners.
- Ms. Fanservice: One of the most attractive villainesses of the story donning what's basically golden lingerie, her body framed by long and wavy pink hair.
- One-Winged Angel: Her Supreme Goddess form is basically this.
- Pet the Dog: The only reason she never attacks the Summoners after her defeat is because Seria intrigues her.
- Really Royalty Reveal: Pyro Archfiend Adel's acquired quote, combined with The Reveal at Estria, all but confirms that she's the daughter of Mildran's king Adel and Estria's queen Savia.
- Recurring Boss: Not as often as Shusui, but she is fought for a grand total of six times: four times as herself, once as a Shadow, and once again in her One-Winged Angel form.
- Stripperiffic
- Take Over the World: Ishgria, Grand Gaia, Elgaia, the Land of the Gods, she wants to take over them all.
- Trap Master: She's quite skillful on setting up traps, which gave Lugina and Seria troubles in Lem.
- The Usurper: Usurped Oguro's position as the ruler of Lem. Not that Oguro minded.
- Walking Spoiler: It's hard to talk about her without mentioning her various schemes.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Her ultimate goal of unifying all the worlds together is because she hates war and conflict that all demons have commited.
- When She Smiles: She smiles as she bid her farewell to Seria before returning to Mildran.
Guile Demon Mora > Glorious Shine Mora
Tropes exclusive to her Mock Unit:
Beiorg
Tech Armor Beiorg
- Mock Unit: Tech Armor Beiorg / Celestial Plate Beiorg

- Magnum Opus: In-universe example. Among the Six Armors, it is considered as such by its primary creator Reis.
- Shock and Awe: Its element in battle.
- You Are Number 6: Its original name, as it was one of the Six Armors series made by Reis. Specifically, it is the "No. 4" of the series.
Tropes exclusive to its Mock Unit:
Sight Demon Beiorg
- All There in the Manual: Its title, Sight Demon, is mentioned in Randall's Imperial Library.
- Egopolis: According to Mora in Beiorg's Sealed Forest, the region and the castle were named after the demon.
- Eyes Do Not Belong There: Especially not in your arms and wings.
- Posthumous Character: This Beiorg is long dead by the time the Summoners' party arrives at Beiorg.
- Shock and Awe: Its element in battle.
Wulgee
Decay Demon Melord
- Mock Unit: Decay Demon Melord / Sage God Melord
Click to see Melord in his original form
A disciple of Lucius who was banished to the forsaken land along with the Oracle Maiden Ilia, and the fourth Demon Lord. After fleeing from Shusui, he absorbed the demonic power in order to gain power in exchange for transforming into monstrous form.
- Black Eyes of Evil: Has these in his original form, which is a given as he was Lucius' disciple.
- The Dragon: Formerly played this position towards Lucius.
- Evil Makes You Ugly
- Heel Realization: After defeating his shadow, Melord wonders that his fate was because he destroyed the humanity's hope.
- Hero Killer: He killed Ophelia as soon as she found out about Lucius' involvement in Sodis' treachy. And as detailed below, he led the Guardians of Meirith towards their doom.
- In the Hood: In addition to a white mask, he used these in his days as Lucius' disciple.
- Magic Staff: Wields one in his original form.
- Making a Splash
- Manipulative Bastard: He kidnapped Ilia and forced Ark to turn against humanity. And he also splitted up the Guardians of Meirith so that they won't stand a chance against both the demon Raguvord and Ark's group.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Absorbing too much demonic power had turned him into a little more than mindless fiend.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Mora claims to the Summoner that even though Melord is one of the Demon Lords, they do not need him any longer and subtly has the Summoner destroy him.
Tropes exclusive to his Mock Unit:
Mirfah
- Voiced by: Tsubasa Yonaga (Thousand Memories collaboration)Mock Unit: Mirfah / Retribution Demon Mirfah + Noble Ember Mirfah
The only survivor of the squad that was sent on an expedition to Ishgria many decades ago, and the former head of 10th Demon Slayers Division.
- Dual Wielding: Used to dual-wield knives when he was younger.
- Casting a Shadow: His element in battle, as well as that of his present self's Mock Unit.
- Fiery Red Head: Not as much by now, but in the past he applied this trope literally.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Krantz.
- I Was Quite a Looker: According to Karl, he was much cuter and adorkable in the past. And it shows when his younger self appears in the latest collaboration with Thousand Memories.
- Playing with Fire: Used to be his main element, as well as that of his Noble Ember version.
- Red Right Hand: His current right arm belonged to a demon he defeated in the past.
- Revenge: He desires revenge against Grahdens and Owen for being responsible for his six comrades' death.
- Set Right What Once Went Wrong: In the "good ending" path of his Grand Quest, he's offered by Amu Yunos to do this.
- Tragic Keepsake: The reports that the rest of Ishgria Expeditioners wrote is this for him. He also keeps Krantz's Virtuous Cape and takes a good care of it until present time.
Tropes exclusive to his Mock Unit:
- Defeat Means Friendship: How you acquire his present self's Mock Unit.
- My Past Self and Me: Mirfah is one of the only two NPCs (the other being Ark) to receive two Mock Units based on his state on two different times. In Mirfah's case, his present self is the stronger of the two.
- Status Buff: His Super Brave Burst boosts damage towards enemies who are affected by any ailments.
Rakshult
Nature Demon Mordlim
A tree-like demoness who rules over the land of Rakshult and the fifth Demon Lord that the player meets. Like Beiorg, Mordlim has interest in human technology and seeks to open the gate to Elgaia and rule over humanity.
- Fandisservice: In contrast to the more fanservicy Mora, Mordlim's form is pretty much scary due to her white face and hollow-plant-like-body. The root demon on her lower body pretty much seals the deal.
- Femme Fatalons: Sports red claws from her two hands.
- Green Thumb
- Sadistic Choice: She offered you with either to get controlled, or to get destroyed. Lugina shoved those choices on her and Take a Third Option instead.
- Stone Wall: Her main fighting style in EX dungeon and RC6 is to apply as much defense as possible to reduce the damage toward her.
Tropes exclusive to her Mock Unit:
- Fanservice: Her Omni form, which is how she would look like had she properly utilized the otherworldly technology she nurtured in Rakshult.
- No-Sell: She's able to nullify status ailments with her Brave Burst.
Zamburg
Calamity Demon Amu Yunos
- Mock Unit: Calamity Demon Amu Yunos / Cosmic Being Amu Yunos
- Affably Evil: Compared to other demon lords, Amu Yunos is surprisingly polite and the reason that she fought the party at all is because she is "bored".
- Light 'em Up: Is a Light Unit.
- Making a Splash: In Raid Battles, her scepter, as a separate component, is Water-elemental.
- Time Abyss: Said to transcend time itself.
- Time Master: Her theme and title as the demoness of time. And she's capable to do time travel too, as shown in the Grand Quest centered on Ishgria Recon Squad.
- True Blue Femininity: She is clad in an elegant blue dress and hat.
- Who Wants to Live Forever?: She existed far much longer than Ishgria itself and eventually becomes bored of living without anything interesting in life.
Tropes exclusive to her Mock Unit:
- Making a Splash: Her mock unit's element, in contrast to that of her real self's. There are several reasons for this:
- Melord, the Water-elemental Demon Lord, was released earlier than her. So when the rest of Demon Lords got their Mock Unit, she was assigned to Water.
- Her Raid Battle counterpart has her staff being Water-elemental.
- Her clothing is mainly blue.
- Older Than They Look: Discussed in her Omni form's lore, where it is revealed that her real form looks even younger than her usual self, and she comments that form lacks dignity even if it's her most powerful one.
Fal Nerga
Liomerg
Barion's most trusted servant.
- Casting a Shadow
- The Dragon: Both figuratively and literally towards Barion.
- Friendly Enemy: While he's antagonistic towards the Summoners, he's still willing to listen to Karl's orders to watch out for Mora's traps in Estria.
- Turned Against Their Masters: In the end, he decides to abandon Barion and sides with Bertz instead.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: In the end, his act above only served as Put on a Bus for him, as he's never seen again in Otherworlds Arc. His 7-Star form's lore even lampshades this.
Dragon Demon Barion
Enemy forms: Dragon Demon Barion / True Dragon Demon Barion
Click to see Barion in his draconic form
The seventh Demon Lord, ruler of Fal Nerga and Karl's real father.
- Casting a Shadow: If fought as a Raid Boss, his wings and tail will be fought as separate parts of his body, with both of them being Dark-elemental.
- One-Winged Angel: Has a more draconic form as seen in Estria EX Dungeon.
- Playing with Fire: His primary element.
- Rescue Romance: How he and Mariela started. Though the rescue was unintentional as Barion only sought to defeat Viktor as part of their clans' rivalry, and Viktor just happened to have Mariela on his side for quite a while.
- Worf Had the Flu: Barion easily went down in Fal Nerga because he was spending most of his power to perform a ritual that would seal Karna Masta forever.
Menon
Heresy Demon Kalon
- Mock Unit: Heresy Demon Kalon / Dark Destruction Kalon
The eighth and final Demon Lord, Kalon abandoned his land to protect certain seals all across Ishgria. He was first mentioned by Mora after the defeat of Beiorg's Shadow, and appears in person to protect Amu Yunos' Shadow.
- The Atoner: Ever since he met Ilia, he realized that power isn't everything, and thus voluntereed himself to be the keeper of Karna Masta's seals to make amends.
- BFS
- Cain and Abel: The Cain to Aaron's Abel.
- Casting a Shadow
- Eyes Always Shut: Except when you dare to threaten the seals or provoke him.
- Foreshadowing: Starting from Beiorg's Bonus Level, Mora and other Demon Lords' Shadows would mention "the demon who manipulates the seals" or something similar upon their defeat. Aaron's lore mentions that his brother sealed half of his power and scattered them all across Ishgria, implying that his brother is a sealing expert. Now you can guess who is that demon.
- Heel–Face Turn: Stated himself that he was just like the other Demon Lords, only caring for power. Before he met Ilia, that is.
- Killed Off for Real: In Mildran, for protecting Ark from Melord's spirit.
- Late-Arrival Spoiler: Not that him being Menon's Demon Lord isn't obvious ever since Mora indirectly mentioned him in Zamburg.
- Me's a Crowd: He can make clones of himself which shares all of his memories in order to keep the seals of Karna Masta's power intact.
- Mystical White Hair
- Recurring Boss: He has been fought twice in one of Zamburg's and Fal Nerga's Bonus Level. And in his own region, Menon, you fight him once in quest maps, and his Shadow in Menon's Bonus Level. Also, he's back in Mildran.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: In Quatre Marinus Duran's lore, Kalon attacked Duran immediately after knowing that he killed Aaron.
- Sibling Rivalry: His relationship with Aaron in the past.
- Walking Spoiler: While it was foreshadowed, his overall importance in Ishgria arc of the story ended up very huge.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: It's unknown what happened to the original Kalon after you beat him in Menon. He doesn't appear in the story again, and the next time you see him, it's his "shadow" and not the real him. He goes to Mildran to oversee the seal of Karna Masta's Spirit.
Tropes exclusive to his Mock Unit:
Holy Emperor Karna Masta
The leader of all the gods who was sealed in Ishgria after suffered defeat from the Oracle Knight and the Oracle Maiden and banished by Lucius.
- Early-Bird Cameo: The horned giant in the original title screen? That's Karna Masta's second One-Winged Angel form.
- Final Boss: Of Menon and Mildran, and the realm of Ishgria as a whole.
- In Name Only: According to Grahdens, the title Holy Emperor doesn't really fit with his personality as he ruled the other gods through power and fear.
- Large and in Charge: He has a large build and was in charge of all of the gods.
- Light 'em Up: His element in battle. His actual personality is far from anything good though.
- One-Winged Angel: Unlike Lucius, he only has one. Probably because he is a Sequential Boss. However, he gets another one in Mildran
- Sequential Boss: In Menon, there are three stages dedicated to put him down. The first stage is against his first form. The second stage is the same, but with a locked squad that consists of the Mock Units of your allies (Seria, Karl, Lugina, Paris, Tilith). And finally, your own squad fights him again, this time with a second part and an One-Winged Angel.

Sealed Gods of Discord
Divine Machine
One of the Divine Machines that linked to the source of summoning. It has an appearance of a giant robot.
