Sturm & Drang

Sturm voiced by: Kanae Itō (Japanese), Katelyn Gault (English)
Drang voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita (Japanese), Ray Chase (English)

Dynamic Merc Duo

Two mercenaries hired by the Erste Empire to help engender their nefarious schemes. See the Granblue Fantasy Draph page for specific tropes related to Sturm and Granblue Fantasy Erune for specific tropes related to Drang.

---

• A Day in the Limelight: Sturm and Drang: A Mercenary's Life is an event focusing on them, their backstories and their daily lives when not involved in the main story scenario.
• Back-to-Back Badasses: Their second artwork for their playable versions shows the two back-to-back in the heat of battle.
• Badass Cape: Sturm and Drang wear vibrant red and blue capes respectively.
• Boss Subtitles: Sturm and Drang: A Mercenary's Life gives them one: Maelstroms of Discord: Sturm and Drang. Down to having their own custom logo!
• Costume Evolution: Overlaps with the Art Evolution trope. Starting from the second arc, they wear new outfits with a more vibrant cape fitting their Red-Blue contrast. These artworks are later re-used as the "Story NPC" arts of their new gacha versions introduced during the "A Mercenary's Life" event.
• Failure Gambit: At the end of Sturm and Drang: A Mercenary's Life, the two of them take up a request from rebels against the Erste Kingdom, and lose to the skyfarers that the Erste Kingdom hired, which is conveniently the Grancypher's crew, making it easier to just throw in the towel. As a result, the rebellion ends quickly, the Kingdom's management gets to hear out their problems, Sturm and Drang take a hit to their reputation, which will make it more difficult to find jobs in the short-term, but also means that Sturm is less likely to get a promotion to head of the Mercenary Guild that she doesn't want, and Agielba gets to take the jobs that the duo aren't getting.
• Fire/Water Juxtaposition: While their general personalities contrast, so does their elements (Fire for Sturm and Water for Drang). Down to point their regular gacha versions have contrasting element even when they switched into another (Water for Sturm and Fire for Drang).
• Friendly Enemy: Initially, they're technically on the enemy side. But as the game goes on, they prove to be... less than aggressive, and even regularly help the crew. It later turns out their loyalty lies with the Black Knight alone, not the Empire, and the Black Knight herself isn't much of a villain in the first place, which applies to the duo by extension. Due to this, the Grandcypher crew eventually warmed up to the Black Knight and her friends despite their previous encounters and even though the latter group are on their separate journeys from the main cast.
• Gathering Steam: Both have a toggled Stance System skill which passively increment specific stats at the end of the turn.
• Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Inverted, Sturm is the sword wielder who gets physical very often while Drang specializes in ranged magic.
• Ham and Deadpan Duo: Drang's hammy antics are balanced by Sturm's serious, deadpan nature.
• Hired Guns: The nature of their allegiance to the Black Knight as they see themselves as paid mercenaries. At least, at first. They quickly grew to genuinely care for her and Orchid however.
• I Was Just Passing Through: They both have a tendency to justify their helpful actions as simply being convenient or the most logical thing to do. Sturm in particular makes a point to act dispassionate and calculating, though Drang frequently teases her and points out she's much kinder than she lets on, to which she responds by blushing and jabbing him with her sword.
• Interspecies Friendship: A Draph and an Erune working as mercenary partners.
• In the Hood: Following their updated outfits and new playable versions introduced in the "A Mercenary's Life" event, both of them can now have their own initial artworks and battle sprites to wear their hoods.
• Promoted to Playable: Both of them have become playable characters at 2017. What's significant about these two becoming playable is that under the last producer's management, he stated that Sturm and Drang would never become playable as long as he was producer. After he left in November 2016, players started to wonder if the current producer would stick with that promise or not and obviously he did not.
• Protagonist Title: Sturm and Drang with their own event, "Sturm and Drang: A Mercenary's Life".
• Red Baron: They're (in)famously known among mercenaries as The Maelstroms of Discord.
• Running Gag: Sturm stabbing Drang with her (sheathed) sword after he says something she doesn't like.
• Strong Girl, Smart Guy: Sturm is usually the one making threats and jumping directly into action while Drang is more cunning and diplomatic, preferring to use words to get his way.
• Sword and Sorcerer: Sturm serves as the swordswoman, Drang as the magic user.
• Theme Naming: Sturm and Drang's names come from the Germanic "Sturm und Drang" ("Storm and Stress"), which was a proto-Romantic movement in German literature and music that occurred between the late 1760s and the early 1780s. Within the movement, individual subjectivity and, in particular, extremes of emotion were given free expression in reaction to the perceived constraints of rationalism imposed by the Enlightenment and associated aesthetic movements. The period is named for Friedrich Maximilian Klinger's play of the same name, which was first performed by Abel Seyler's famed theatrical company in 1777. Their event reveals that this was intentionally invoked by Drang as he felt the two truly embodied those concepts when they were together after they first met.
• Those Two Guys: They pop up in and out of the story, providing lots of exposition on the islands they're on and some of the Empire's tech, while also being an inconvenient roadblock for the crew.
• Undying Loyalty: To the Black Knight. They first met back when she was still an idealistic young woman, who tried to pay them upfront because she never learned to distrust people. At first they were amused, but as time went on they grew genuinely fond of her. The only reason they're still officially hired mercenaries and not her aides is that non-knights getting such a position is unheard of.
• Wall Pin of Love: In Grand Blues! comic #761, Drang does the "kabe don" pose to Sturm. Of course, he gets stabbed as per the usual Running Gag of the duo, but the last panel takes a shot at Sturm's Tsundere trait.
• Will They or Won't They?: They're very loyal to one another, and share a closeness that seems to go further than either will openly admit, but it's difficult to say whether they're suffering from Belligerent Sexual Tension or are genuinely Platonic Life-Partners. A few story chapters and episodes will sometimes lampshade this one:
  Drang: (after getting stabbed by Sturm) Huff... That was too much, Sturm...
  (Beat)
  Drang: But I wouldn't trade that Sturm for anyone.
  Narration: His quiet words are lost to the wind. Whether those words will reach her ears is up in the air.

The Black Knight

Apollonia Vaar

Voiced by: Romi Park (Japanese), Allegra Clark (English)

See the Granblue Fantasy Humans A To E page.

Captain Pommern

Pommern Vettner

Voiced by: Wataru Yokojima (Japanese), Keith Silverstein (English)

Katalina's former commanding officer and the Erste Empire military officer formerly in charge of supervising Lyria. While fulfilling the duties of the empire, he takes every opportunity to take revenge on Katalina for humiliating him.

---

• A Day in the Limelight: He is the main character of a prequel novel depicting his younger days before the start of Granblue Fantasy.
• Anti-Villain: While he does have a propensity for sadism and petty revenge, his loyalty ultimately lies with the people of Erste and soldiers under his command. And more to the point, once some of his superiors start really Jumping Off the Slippery Slope, he's notably quite hesitant to follow them to such a frightening extent. He ultimately has a full Heel–Face Turn and sides with Queen Orchis' true Ertsan government.
• Breaking Speech: He inflicts one on Lyria in the anime by telling her that she's nothing but a tool of destruction who should be restrained for her and everyone else's own good.
• Brick Joke: He has two appearances in the Grand Blues! comics where a hot boiled egg flies in his mouth, making him scream in pain. In the "Odenlicious" Free Quest of Agastia, Pommern is so lost in his train of thoughts while eating oden to the point where he accidentally burned his tongue from an egg.
• Disproportionate Retribution: His response to the player coming into contact with Lyria is to unleash a Hydra on them which kills them.
• Evil Is Petty: Whenever he sees Katalina, he drops everything he was doing to get his chance at revenge. This fades as time goes on, however (though it still remains a bit of a sore spot).
• Good Costume Switch: In the third arc he is firmly on the side of good as a general of the reformed Erste Kingdom, and the position comes with a more elegant, gold trimmed uniform and brighter armor.
• Happily Married: With his wife, if his Valentines and White Day lines are any indication.
• Heel–Face Turn: After his Heel Realization bellow, he opens the way into the Tower so that the heroes can go and stop Freesia. Later, when the party visits Agastia again during the second arc, he's seen leading a group of loyal soldiers trying to maintain what little order is left in Agastia and helps the crew track down the kidnapped Queen Orchis. In the third arc, he is properly positioned as the general for Queen Orchis' Erste Kingdom.
• Heel Realization: He's quite disturbed when he realizes just what Akasha is capable of. However, the realization only fully hits when he learns that Freesia plans to sacrifice everyone in Agastia in order to awaken it.
• I Was Quite the Looker: As a younger man he had a far less prominent nose and looked like a typical JRPG protagonist.
• Oh, Crap!:
  • His reaction after seeing that his summoned Hydra's powerful blast did not even make Proto Bahamut flinch.
  • In the 13th episode of the anime, Pommern and his soldiers are visibly trembling upon seeing Djeeta.
• Pet the Dog: To show how he's less of a jerkass relative to the other Erste military officials, he gets some nice moments here and there.
  • In a free quest on Golonzo Island, he helps walk an old lady to her house.
  • In another free quest, Farrah and a group of some of the younger girls in the crew get lost in the woods and stumble upon him and his men during a training exercise. Despite suspicions that they're there to spy on them and the fact that Farrah is a known deserter, he decides to lead them back to town.
  • The Valentines and White Day lines had him talk of how much he loves and give gifts to his wife regularly.
  • And then of course, once he performs a Heel–Face Turn in full, he's found during the kidnapping sub-arc of Dawning Sky, trying to restore order to Agastia while the Erstan government is in chaos.
• Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: When Freesia activates Deus Ex Machina and the citizens of the capital begin falling ill due to it draining their souls, he orders his soldiers to fall back and clear the way for the party so they can stop her.
• Spell My Name With An S: Thanks once more to the spotty localization of the game's early sections, his surname is variously spelled as "Vettner" and "Boettner" in different places. This isn't helped that the two names would be spelled almost exactly the same way in katakana (Japanese lacking a true "V" sound).
• Super Mode: Via the power of dark essence, he can become some kind of mini-mecha with him interred at the center of the mecha.
• Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: He's married to an attractive Erune woman.
• Verbal Tic: Will occasionally end his sentences with desu-ne or desu-yo ("I Do Say").
• Villain Decay: He was introduced as a cruel general of the Empire, who kills the protagonist as Establishing Character Moment. As more dangerous antagonists are revealed, Pommern is slowly relegated to the role of Comic Relief and even pulls a Heel–Face Turn.

General Furias

Voiced by: Yuko Sanpei (Japanese), Tara Sands (English)

General Furias

^{Emperor Furias}

A general of the Erste Empire who's been enacting several plans of the empire at the islands the Grandcypher travels to. After the events of the Nahlgrande arc, he leads the Holy Empire of Erste and fight against the heroes.

---

• Asshole Victim: Around the end of the first arc Freesia overloads him with Dark Essence, causing him agonizing pain.
• Badass Cape:
  • General Furias wears a red cape with his uniform.
  • In the third arc, Emperor Furias wears a black-white cape instead.
• Bad Boss: If he's not sending out his troops in droves to their death, he's most likely offing them himself for annoying him.
• The Bus Came Back: He returns in Wayfaring Astral as the head of the Holy Erste Empire and a seemingly completely different demeanor... for good reason.
• Character Development: From ill-tempered Bad Boss of the first arc to a calculative and subtly kinder boss to his men in the third arc. There's a good reason for this.
• Clone Angst: The duplicate Furias has a breakdown over killing the original, which is what partially drives him to give Zwei a new identity and home away from Orchis so she doesn't completely fall into the same loop he did.
• Commonality Connection: The reason why the Furias of the third arc is so protective of Zwei is because he can relate to her as someone who is also a fake individual trying to assume his original counterpart's identity.
• Costume Evolution: As he returns in the third arc, Furias dons a new outfit with a black-white-red theme.
• Dead All Along: The real Furias? He was dead way before the start of the third arc. The current Furias is a clone created by The True King and is ordered to kill him.
• Drunk with Power: Using the dark essence on himself makes him mad with power as he shoots down anyone in his path, even the soldiers who were fully obedient to him.
• Establishing Character Moment: In the anime, when a soldier brings up his concerns that destroying the island is excessive, Furias casually kills him for doubting his judgement.
• Foreshadowing: In Chapter 117, Loki claims that this new Furias is a fake or a copy of the real one. He is proven right in the next chapters.
• Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He wears glasses and is arguably the cruelest member of the Empire.
• Go Out with a Smile: In chapter 122 the fake Furias shows his first and last genuine smile right before he dies, thinking about how he only wanted to help Zwei.
• Kill and Replace: The first task given to the fake Furias was to kill the original. Since he is a part of the original, the fake ponders on the absurdity of his current situation.
  I've killed the original... And so I'm the original... But then who did I just kill? I killed Furias... Furias killed Furias... I... killed myself? Then who is standing here mumbling right now? Who... am I?
• Literal Split Personality: The True King spliced his logical part of his personality into another body.
• The Napoleon: Being a Harvin, he has a height complex and takes offence to anyone who mentions it.
• Not Himself: There are plenty of things that changed within Furias when he returned in the third arc, and both his allies and enemies notice such drastic changes, such as when he no longer hams up his dialogue but speaks with a calm yet serious tone... Chapter 122 explains why. The Furias in the third arc is a clone created by The True King.
• Not So Stoic: Briefly shows a satisfied smile in Chapter 122 after Lyria agrees to call Zwei by her name instead of "golem girl".
• The Promise: Loki and the fake Furias made a deal to have Zwei join Loki's crew and give her the freedom to roam in the vast skies.
• Punny Name: Furias has one of the shortest tempers of any character in the game.
• Put on a Bus to Hell: The fate of the real Furias as revealed in Chapter 122.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: At the end of the "Duelist of Eternity" event, he decides that he's had enough of this experiment and leaves the facility, with his soldiers having to clean up the mess created by Mordecai and Luna.
• The Starscream: He's planning a coup d'etat to get rid of Freesia and the Emperor, with Loki even encouraging Furias to take strike at her since it'll be amusing for him. However, Freesia manages to defeat him and punishes him by overloading him with more Dark Essence than he can handle.
• That Man Is Dead: Says a variation of this in Chapter 117, implying that he has completely changed.
  Furias? I'm definitely Furias, all right. But the Furias you knew is no longer around.
  • Takes a literal, darker turn when chapter 122 reveals that the real Furias that the crew knows from the first arc is dead.
• This Cannot Be!: When the crew takes down Adversa, he responds with shock that they managed to beat his superweapon.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: He disappears from the story completely after Akasha is dealt with. He returns in the third arc... as a clone to the actual Furias, who is Dead All Along.

The Erste Prime Minister

Freesia von Bismarck

Voiced by: Yuko Kaida

As Prime Minister of the empire, she only answers to the emperor himself. Using everyone including the Black Knight as a pawn to achieve her goals for the prosperity of the empire, not caring for the commoners as long as she gets victory. She begins to actively pursue Lyria herself as part of her search for the Primal Beast, Akasha.

For tropes relating to Freezie, Tomoi's fantasy of her, see the Granblue Fantasy Erune page.

---

• Animal Motifs: The spider. She turns into a monstrous form of one when consuming Dark Essence. Even her handgun^note The obtainable weapon used to unlock Freezie is named Arachne, and is custom-made to have a purple spider engraved on it.
• The Atoner: After her second attempt to use Akasha to rewrite history goes awry, she decides that even if she can't make up for her atrocious acts, she'll watch over Viola's child.
• Big Damn Heroes: In chapter 120 alongside the Black Knight. They stop Zwei from attacking Orchid and corner her, at least until Queen Orchis collapses, giving Zwei some time to escape.
• Break the Haughty: After her first defeat, she summons Mithra, primal beast of contracts and oaths, and swears to accomplish her goals no matter what. Because Mithra's power compels those who swear oaths or sign contracts within its domain of power to fulfil the terms of these promises, Freesia is continuously revitalised by Mithra's power no matter how many times she is defeated in battle, which in turn forces the unstable dark matter she has injected herself with to activate, continuously mutating her body. After her second defeat and subsequent revitalisation, it becomes apparent that this process is anything but pleasant. Freesia's mind snaps under the strain, and by the time the party frees her via Akasha, all she can do is scream in agony.
• The Chessmaster: What makes Freesia so brutally effective as a villain is her ability to predict what the heroes will do. For example, when the crew is trying to infiltrate Agastia, Adam leads them to a hidden port, hoping to sneak in past the guards and dock the Grancypher there. However, Freesia knew that Adam wouldn't want to risk charging through the front so she figured out which port Adam would use and put reinforcements there instead.
  • Also displayed brilliantly in her prison break in the second arc. She set the golems guarding her berserk as a diversion for her escape, right? Nope. They are a diversion, but she already escaped last night. Their real purpose is to draw the heroes out while she breaks into the palace to kidnap Orchis. By the time the heroes have quelled the golems and figured out what she did, she's already on her way to Agastia with Orchis in tow.
• Coat Cape: She has a white military coat as a cape.
• Didn't See That Coming: She didn't expect Loki to start interfering with her plans and she didn't expect him to fill in the slot of Emperor, since she was intentionally taking advantage of lack of an emperor to pursue her goals how she saw fit. In fact, she didn't even expect an Emperor at all to take control of the Empire.
• Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Wears glasses, and has no qualms with cutting down her own troops or performing horrific experiments.
• Heel–Face Turn: Orchid's refutation of the idea that Freesia is nothing shifts the gears in Freesia's mind and she accepts her punishment for what she's done, quietly going back to prison and giving the protagonists the information on where the Mephorash Sky Map piece is.
• Hostage For Macguffin: In the second arc, she kidnaps Queen Orchis and demands that the heroes hand over Akasha in exchange for her. The heroes are smart enough to realize she'll never hold up her end of the bargain and that the deal is extremely lopsided given what Akasha is capable of and what she plans to do with it. She still tries to make off with Orchis anyway since her half-Astral ancestry is needed to activate Akasha anyway.
• Inconsistent Dub: Her title in the English version is either Chancellor or Prime Minister.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Her plans are ultimately foiled by Akasha, the very Primal Beast she sought, twice. First was when the heroes use Akasha to remove her contract with Mithra. The second time was when Orchid arrived with the Akasha-powered Lloyd to help rescue Orchis.
• Legacy of Service: Her family has been dutifully serving the Erste dynasty for decades, even when the Erste Empire was just a small kingdom on Ravi Island. This is thus how Freesia met Viola when they were young, and how Freesia fell hopelessly in love with her.
• Never My Fault: She blames the Astrals for Queen Viola's death, completely failing to acknowledge the fact that she was the one who unsealed Deus Ex Machina, which lead to the primal rampaging and killing the King and Queen.
• One-Winged Angel: She uses Dark Essence to turn her most of her body into a giant mechanical spider.
• Promoted to Playable: Sort of. Her playable version is actually Tomoi's fantasy of her from the event, "L.E.T.S. H.A.N.G." but is practically identical for all intents and purposes.
• Psycho Lesbian: It's revealed in the second arc that she had feelings for Queen Viola, Orchis's mother, and her desire to erase the Astrals from history started from her jealousy over the Queen "picking" an Astral over her.
• Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Her primary motivation. She plans on using Akasha's power to Cosmic Retcon the Astrals out of existence, thereby preventing the War from ever happening - and thus, on a more personal level, ensuring that Viola never marries her husband and can "choose" Freesia instead. The problem comes from her either underestimating or just not caring about the negative consequences of changing the past in such a drastic way, as well as possibly not being able to accept that Viola may or may not have really reciprocated her affection.
• Undying Loyalty: To the former queen of Erste and Orchis' mother, Viola, which pushes her to do what she does as she desperately wants to reunite with her.
• Villainous Breakdown: When the party manages to defeat Leviathan Malice, Mithra Malice, and Freesia herself, she begins screaming bloody murder about how short-sighted and foolish they are for opposing her. This is also a breakdown with consequences, as it lasts well into the Dawning Sky arc, and toward the end of that segment Freesia is really jumping off the cliff, down to having episodes where she perceives Orchis as her mother, Viola.

Vice-Admiral Gandharva

Voiced by: Atsushi Miyauchi

A former member of the Order of Enforcers, he rose to the ranks in the Empire and returned to Amalthea Island to take revenge.

---

• Art Evolution: He receives an updated artwork along with a Costume Evolution once he is properly re-introduced in the third arc.
• Authority Equals Asskicking: He's far stronger then most of the Imperial soldiers faced by the crew and climbed up through the ranks because of this. Walfried kicked him out of the Enforcers because he was using his strength to assert his supremacy and become a captain through brute force.
• Badass Longcoat: His green military coat.
• Blood Knight: He enjoys fighting strong opponents and fighting in general which is why he was kicked out of the Enforcers because he was too violent for them. This is also the reason why he sided with Loki in the third arc, since he is keen on travelling skydoms and Gandharva hops in to fight stronger opponents. He even states that he may end up fighting Loki and Fenrir if there would be no other challengers to sate him.
• The Bus Came Back: He returns in the third arc...as Loki's ally.
• Even Evil Has Standards: He refuses to use the Dark Crystal that Freesia offers to him because he dislikes trickery and outright destruction.
• Good Old Fisticuffs:
  • He only uses his fists when fighting the crew on Amalthea Island because he didn't see them as worthy of using his sword on them.
  • In the final battle against him in Agastia, he discards his sword halfway through, only this time it's to show that he's serious.
• It's Personal: Has a grudge against Lecia's father, Walfried, and the Enforcers for his forced resignation which is why he personally led the assault on their headquarters.
• Multi-Melee Master: He can switch between using his fist or his large sword depending on his preferences. In his boss battle, this is establish via his Stance System halfway through the fight.
• Never Found the Body: Disappears after the climactic battle with the Otherworld. His fate is currently unknown.
• One-Handed Zweihänder: Has a gigantic sword which he holds in one hand. He only uses it on those he deems worthy of fighting with his sword.

The Erste Emperor

Loki

Voiced by: Ryōko Shiraishi

^{Click here to see his old sprite}

The first emperor of Erste and the last Astral.

---

• Affably Evil: Throughout the story arcs that Loki has been through, he is more of a troll than an outright evil antagonist which the main quest intially painted him as. During the third arc, he has expressed a desire to form his own crew as he is intrigued by the protagonist. He even keeps his promise to the fake Furias by having Zwei the freedom to travel across the skies. And when they are outnumbered by the incoming Otherworldly beasts, he prioritizes the protagonist's safety by opening a window of escape.
• Art Evolution: He and Fenrir are both given an updated sprite for their appearance in the Wayfaring Astral arc.
• The Bad Guy Wins: He ultimately gets what he wanted out of the crew's time in Nalhegrande, the Great Wall's destruction to unseal its Astral creator inside.
• Deadpan Snarker: Will sometimes spout these, mostly towards Fenrir, who easily gets irritated by this. For example, when he commends her for babysitting Mikaboshi:
  "But you know, you're actually pretty good at this nanny thing."
• Enemy Mine: Loki and his allies along with the crew are on a truce in order to deal with the otherworldly beings infesting through out Nahlgrande.
• Evil Counterpart: He's slowly becoming one to the Captain, recruiting his own allies and using the Grandcypher's sister ship, the Grandsleuth, to travel around.
• Evil Uncle: To Orchis, as it's revealed that he's Orchis' father's brother. He loathes her to the core and refuses to acknowledge their family ties. If the Black Knights's information is to be taken to any hint, it may have to do with him not approving of the marriage of Orchis's parents.
• Heel–Face Turn: Stalls the Violet Knight in Chapter 122 so that Orchid and her friends can escape with Zwei. He also helps the latter snap out of her depressed state.
  • Joins the Grandcypher at the end of the Wayfaring Astral arc in order to assist the crew in reaching Estalucia.
• HP to One: Loki and Fenrir's Fimbulvetr does this to the entire party in Chapter 114, ending the fight as he has other plans at hand.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: Loki is very much intrigued at how the crew of the Grandcypher persists on their arduous journey. And his brother was always surrounded with fellows of his own. He claims that both parties have one thing in common, a factor that motivates them to do as they wish. And this is having allies or friends – something which Loki never had. So in the third arc, he tries to imitate the Grandcypher by recruiting Mikaboshi, Furias and finding an airship to start a journey with them.
• It Amused Me: He's aware of his subordinates' intense dislike of him and their plans to get rid of him, but he doesn't really care as long as they sow discord and chaos for him to watch.
• Know When to Fold 'Em: As Loki's and the Grandcypher's remaining crew members get overwhelmed by the number of Otherworldly beings in the third arc, Loki commanded everyone to escape for the time being so that they could all give the injured protagonist the chance to recover.
• Lampshade Hanging: In Chapter 116, he wonders why the Grandcypher crew is composed of a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits recruiting all sorts of adventurers.
  I'll never understand them. That crew openly accepts anyone, making no distinction between skyfarer or Astral.
• Last of His Kind: He claims to be the last Astral in the world. Which given that Mikaboshi was sealed away with no one the wiser after the War, Lucilius was only resurrected after a centuries-long scheme was fulfilled, and Neutronon was only kept alive by force and is later dissected, is most likely true. However, he didn't say he was the last Astral in the Astral world, just the Sky world, since they all left for Estalucia and have never been seen since. And there are also Astrals hanging about in the Crimson Horizon on Ebisu, though they've given up on interfering with either world in a self-imposed exile.
• Occult Blue Eyes: Has very light shining blue eyes, hinting at an otherworldly nature.
• The Omnipresent: In "Winter Nights, Stardust Memories", Loki tries to invoke this when Katalina asked how he suddenly appears behind them from out of nowhere.
  Heh, I'm everywhere, you know. And at the same time, nowhere at all.
• Outside-Context Problem: He suddenly comes out of nowhere, having taken control of the Erste Empire and changes the nature of the conflict dramatically.
• Pet the Dog:
  • Well, in a rather downplayed case, he's maybe cryptic and a Jerkass, near the end of the event, Ranger Sign: Bravo!, his reaction to Fenrir's speech of how she doesn't believe that primals and skydwellers can co-exist being impossible is asking if that also applies to his relationship with Fenrir. He maybe evil, but it's no denying that he values Fenrir.
  • To Zweiin chapter 122. He takes her with him to show her the world, as per Furias's request, and expresses genuine regret over her seeing Furias's dead body, saying that had he not rushed her, she could have gone on with her life thinking Furias was still alive and safe somewhere.
• The Promise: Loki and the fake Furias made a deal to have Zwei join Loki's crew and give her the freedom to roam in the vast skies.
• Red and Black and Evil All Over: He wears an outfit with these as its primary colors after assuming the seat of emperor.
• Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Loki notes that he seems naturally immune to the Otherworld's interference with chronology as he can easily see how time and memory are being messed with and retain knowledge of the original events before they were interfered with unlike everyone else who require special powers or items in order to retain memory of what happened. He chalks it up to Astrals being made different from Skydwellers.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Near the end of the first arc, he decides to leave early with Fenrir since no matter whether Freesia or the heroes succeed, the Erste Empire is finished.
• Shoulders of Doom: The pauldron on his right shoulder is actually a beast's skull.
• Wham Line: When Rackam, Eugen, and Io display their heightened powers thanks to the bonds they formed with the Primal Beasts, Loki is not even threatened, as he reveals having the same ability with Fenrir.
  Hold on... Something's coming to me... Something I once heard about that very technique... Oh, that's right. Skydwellers aren't the only ones who can use it!

Fenrir

Voiced by: Yuki Matsuoka

The Emperor's private enforcer and "pet" Primal Beast

---

• An Ice Person: She uses lots of icicles in combat.
• Art Evolution: Compared to Fenrir's initial static NPC artwork, her 2018 artwork revamp◊ allows Fenrir to have more expressions in later story events, and also makes her attractive.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: To Jade, a character from an event, "Ranger Sign: Bravo!". Fenrir was willing to pay her back because Jade once saved her in a previous experiment.
• Chained by Fashion: She has several chains attacked to her manacles and collar. It's hinted that they serve as a Power Limiter for her, and if they were let loose, she'd wreak unfathomable havoc.
• Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: She was repeatedly experimented on and modified by her Astral masters before being ultimately discarded as a failure, and as a result desperately wants to be seen as useful or valuable by someone. Loki sees her as a valued servant, which is why she's loyal to him, even if she doesn't particularly care for him as a person.
• Disappears into Light: Her fate at the climax of Wayfaring Astral, having absorbed too much power from the boundary to become the God Slaying Primal Beast.
• Godzilla Threshold: Repti considers invoking her original purpose as the God Slaying Primal Beast this; a necessary risk to defeating the Otherworld Dragon.
• I'm a Humanitarian: She loves to eat people.
• Kill the God: Her original purpose, having been designed by an "impious Astral", according to Repti.
• Little Bit Beastly: She has blue wolf ears, hands, feet, and a tail.
• Red Herring: Is seemingly set up to be the main antagonist in the early chapters of the event, "Ranger Sign: Bravo", but she is not the monstrosity of Treetop Isle.
• Slave Brand: Has one on her left thigh.
• Stripperiffic: She's only wearing rags and those barely cover anything.
• Villainous Rescue: In "Ranger Sign Bravo!", Fenrir rips an opening in the enclosed dimension of Jade's pillar of light, allowing Walder to get out. She literally rescued the guy whom she fatally wounded minutes ago, by denying his Heroic Sacrifice!
• Wham Line: Her Inner Monologue at the end of Chapter 116, hinting that she is slowly doubting Loki now that he desires to have real friends.
  Fenrir: What am I to you?
• Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Constantly asking her master, Loki, this. She doesn't understand the point of letting the protagonist and company escape, or holding back when fighting, if they're just going to eventually kill them at some point in the future.

Dawning Sky

Covers the antagonists debuting in the second arc, from Chapters 64 to 110.

Otherworld Denizens

Beings from a world called the Crimson Horizon, which lies far below the Sky World. They constantly seek entry into the Sky World, whether it be through Pandemonium, the great Astral prison that physically bridges the two realms together or through magic gateways. Regardless of their methods, their goals are always the same: destroy the Sky World and capture Lyria and Vyrn.

Shared tropes:

• Alien Invasion: During Old Bond, Galleon reveals that the Crimson Horizon was originally created for Skydwellers by the Omnipotent, but was taken over by the Otherworlders, leading to the creation of the floating islands in the world.
• Animal Motifs: Snakes feature prominently in their designs, though some are more clearly inspired by mythological monsters such as harpies.
• Bizarre Alien Biology: Their "blood" in its crystallized form is capable of disrupting causality.
• The Corrupter: They appear before several people to corrupt them and make them their minions.
  • With Jeanne, they take advantage of her trauma from leading troops into a massacre to convince her to bring Vyrn to them. A more subtle means is employed for her Grand version by brainwashing her into believing that she's incapable of fighting.
  • In Lucio's Fate Episodes, they tempt an old woman with the idea of reviving her dead granddaughter in exchange for Vyrn and Lyria.
  • They corrupt Aglovale into going along with the plan to opening up a gate to the Otherworld.
  • They attempt to manipulate Ferry in her Grand version's Fate Episodes but she doesn't fall for it.
  • They corrupt Echidna into something more monstrous after she ends up in their domain.
• Dual Boss: When fought in the Co-Op quests they always come in groups of two or three.
• Eldritch Abomination: Incredibly bizarre beings in appearance whose speech is at times incomprehensible and always attempting to overtake the world for reasons unknown.
• Evil Counterpart: The 10,000 Days of Woe arc eventually reveals their ultimate goal: Use Lyria or other characters connected to The Omnipotent (read: Bahamut) in order to reach Holy Seat of Genesis, Estalucia. This serves as a warped take on the Captain being driven to seek out Estalucia after meeting Lyria.
• Fate Worse than Death: They have considerable power over the deceased. In Isaac's fate episode, we learn that they are apparently torturing the recently deceased Grace for information and that they could do so for an indefinite amount of time.
• Graceful Loser: Their response to the party foiling their invasion is that it was simply not the time. Likewise, in Grand Ferry's Fate Episode, the Otherworldly being offers what appears to be genuine words of sympathy before disappearing after its defeat.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Initially presented as beings lurking within Pandemonium and merely entities that are summoned by Skydwellers for power, they were slowly revealed to have involvement with several long-running plots throughout the game, up to and including being one of the few factions powerful enough to rival both Astrals and Moondwellers in terms of ability to take over the Sky World.
• Kill the God: The Envoy claims their true aims are to kill both the Sky and Astral Gods and want the Singularity, Lyria, and Vyrn's assistance in doing so.
• Kryptonite Factor:
  • Grea's inherent dragon abilities as well as Proto Bahamut's and Vyrn's powers (all are Anti-Magic variants) have been shown to cripple them severely. Likewise, anything blessed with a mere wisp of Bahamut's power can be deadly to them as well, as seen with Grand Jeanne.
  • Conversely, Otherworldly weapons created from chaos matter are one of the only things that can kill Primal Beasts, as they have the ability to negate the providence of the Sky Realm.
• The Legions of Hell: They wield strange and demonic powers, are seemingly innumerable and it is said that not even the Astrals could defeat them. They're explicitly viewed as either demonic or undead aberrations in reality, depending on context.
• The Man Behind the Man: "Home Sweet Moon" reveals that they've managed to subvert part of both the Society and Foe for their own ends as they've been imitating Maxwell and now Grace as part of revenge against Central Axis.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: The Otherworldly being who was trying to manipulate Ferry inadvertently helped her awaken to her true power, which eventually plays a crucial part later in the story.
• Precursors: The Envoy states that their proper title should be this rather than the epithet of Otherworldly Being used prior to chapter 129, though does not elaborate why they should be called this.
• Reality Warper: They are capable of accessing and altering the coexisting timelines, which is how they kill off Guillota and Zarastura in the main story.
• Ret-Gone: What they do to Guillota and Zarastura in the main story. The crew doesn't remember that they existed despite having interacted with them just moments before.
• Revenge: The Envoy claims that their desire is to inflict this upon the gods and believe that the Captain has a similar stake in this conflict.
• Stripperiffic: The outfits of female Otherworldly beings usually resemble skimpy swimwear or lingerie.
• Super-Empowering: They can empower denizens of the skydoms with their otherworld magic. One case being Gilbert.
• Transferable Memory: Otherworlders can access the memories of the dead and use them to their own advantage in conjunction with their shapeshifting abilities.
• Uncanny Atmosphere: Their incursions are usually accompanied by unnatural changes in the environment.
• Villains Never Lie: Played With. Some of the harsher "truths" they reveal are almost immediately accepted as such, but it almost never works out for them to use these revelations in their favour.
• Voluntary Shapeshifter: Otherworldly Beings can imitate the appearance and voice of skydwellers. It doesn't work well unless they fully understand who they are imitating, as the other skydwellers can single them out if the Imposter Forgot One Detail.
  • With Ferry's Grand version, one of them shapeshifts into Ferry's deceased sister Firra.
  • In Shalem's Fate Episodes, one attempts to imitate Sahar but becomes too frustrated with how long Shalem's taking to reveal her power and asking so many questions.
  • Eustace figures out the imposter because his little brother wanted his next unborn sibling to be a boy, not a girl.
• Zerg Rush: A never-ending horde of them awaits the crew on the ruins of Starke Island, with them only barely able to push through their onslaught.

Otherworld Nomad

An insane Isabella summons this entity in "Four Knights of a Fallen Land".

---

• Deal with the Devil: In exchange for his summoning a human must be sacrificed. Due to Siegfried saving King Carl, the crazed Isabella offers her own in his place.
• Final Boss: The last enemy faced in "Four Knights of a Fallen Land".
• Human Sacrifice: He can only remain in the world by having a human sacrificed to him.
• My Death Is Just the Beginning: Uses his final breath to boast that thousands of his kind will one day descend on Feendrache.
• Snakes Are Evil: Serpents cover his body, with a few even serving as arms.

Aberration

Dark creatures led by the Aberrant Tower and serve as the main antagonists of the event, "Lonesome Dragoness", invading Mysteria Academy by taking advantage of students experimenting with forbidden magic.

---

• Dark Is Evil: Their overall getup are dark and shadowy. Curiously, they're not dark element.
• No Ontological Inertia: The moment the core monolith at the quadrangle was broken, all the aberrations immediately dissipated into mist. Subverted when Grea destroyed the core monolith at the clock tower. As it turns out, the Aberrant Tower wanted them to think destroying the monoliths would make them disappear.
• No-Sell: The barriers they erect are highly resistant, if not outright immune, to the magic Io and the Mysterian Academy students possess. Only Grea's dragon power (as well as from Proto Bahamut's, courtesy of Lyria) is able to cancel their magic.
• Outside-Context Villain: Their armies suddenly appear out of nowhere, terrorizing the academy and the nearby town.
• Taken for Granite: They seem to be able to convert the people they capture into smaller versions of the core monoliths. Destroying the monoliths reverts the process.
• Thanatos Gambit: When Anne's spell begins closing the portals of Outworld, the Aberrant Tower eventually resorts to sacrifice himself to summon their emperor, the Chaos Beast, and to ultimately keep their world connected to the skydom.

The Envoy

With the Otherworld's incursion into Bestia Island and Nalhegrande, they required a suitable leader to rally around and brought this entity into existence.

---

• Affably Evil: Unlike the Aberrant Tower, the Nomad, and the Key, all of whom are actively hostile and various shades of homicidal when they meet the crew, the Envoy is unerringly polite and only orders Echidna to attack after it's clear they're not willing to go along with their plans. Though disappointed in the Captain's refusal to an alliance, he withdraws his forces after being beaten as a show of goodwill.
• Cloudcuckoo Lander: He's certainly an eccentric fellow, from his manner of speech to his unusually gentlemanly treatment of the Grandcypher crew.
• Horns of Villainy: Has some wicked goat horns adorning his head.
• Mouth of Sauron: He serves as this for both the forces invading Bestia and the Otherworldly forces as a whole, as he offers an alliance with the Captain for their role as Singularity to take out the gods.
• Unreliable Expositor: Though parts of his information do match up with what Mikaboshi has stated and other parts of the game, there's one key bit that doesn't gel with previous reveals. He claims that the Sky and Astral Gods have been working together this whole time in contrast to the Creation Myth stating they split off permanently and Lucilius' (correctly proven) deductions that the two gods have been fighting this whole time.

Maxwell

An Otherworldly leader who has connections to the Moon.

---

• Chekhov's Gunman: He was first mentioned by Necessaria as one of the Society leaders likely responsible for forcing Echidna into the Otherworld and using her as a bridge to invade Nalhegrande.
• Dead All Along: Unknown to Central Axis or the Society, Maxwell has died ages ago and been used by the Otherworld ever since.
• Nominal Importance: He is the first Otherworldly being to have a personal name rather than title and is noted to be the first one with a truly personal connection to the main cast as he bears responsibility for messing around with causality, erasing Guillota, Zarazustra, and Rackam in the process.
• Walking Spoiler: His existence spoils that the endpoints of two arcs, the main story and the Foe storyline, are intertwined.

Gilbert

Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto

A young man serving as an advisor to the ruler of Rhem Kingdom. He's faithful, even-tempered, and excels in his duties, which has earned him deep trust from both the nation's leaders and citizens alike.

---

• Arch-Enemy: Of Cain and Leona. While Pholia did pull the strings into plunging Torhid Kingdom into a state of war that led to Abel's demise, it was Gilbert who ultimately killed him.
• Badass Longcoat: His white military uniform is a coat.
• Big Bad Wannabe: His plans to destroy islands using the Great Wall was nothing compared to what the True King wanted to do with it. See also Unwitting Pawn.
• The Dragon: To King Dolza Rhem. Later, it's revealed that he's taking orders from the True King himself. Even that is subverted, as he only thinks of himself.
• Dragon with an Agenda: He privately harbors ambitions to take control of all the Skydoms, even planning to eliminate the True King at some point in the future.
• Fate Worse than Death: During the final moments of his sanity, he was killed by the White Knight under the command of the True King. However, since his body is already leaking Otherworldly magic at that point, his "corpse" transformed into a more grotesque-looking beast, with the King mentioning that he is no longer the same Gilbert. Said beast is later put into and disintegrates inside the urn of the Great Wall.
• Freudian Excuse: He was obsessed with power as he always lost in the past, he craves power great enough to win and obliterate those who get in his way. He wants the main crew's powers and connection with the Primal Beasts for himself.
• Hate Sink: Unlike the antagonists of the first arc, he shows no signs of redeeming his wrongdoings. Instead, Gilbert's main motivation is to take the powers of others to himself, he demonstrates his hatred towards his mother in a violent way by lashing it out at Echidna, he killed Abel, sees Pholia as a "tool" and has overused the powers of the Otherworld to turn himself into a monster.
• Hypocrite: All too willing to expose Pholia's sins when he himself offs anyone who opposes him.
• Idiot Hair: Has a strand of hair sticking on the top of his head.
• One-Winged Angel: The Otherworldly energies he's using turns him into a giant knight-like titan when the heroes start overpowering him and he gives into his own lust for power. However, while the form is powerful enough to hold back the heroes, he can't maintain it long enough to finish the heroes. He then transforms even further thanks to the True King.
• Parental Abandonment: Was abandoned by his parents, an event that made him extremely spiteful and bitter. He was immune to Echidna's influence as a result of his hatred.
• Smug Snake: Very much.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Weakening Echidna during the Dawning Sky arc led to the otherworldly beings to manifest and plague the skies of Nahlgrande during the Wayfaring Astral arc, with Bestia island suffering the worst damage because it's home to Echidna.
• Unwitting Pawn: To two people at the same time, even. As it turns out, his absorption of the Otherworld energies and eventual betrayal against the True King was already accounted for, both by the True King himself and Baragona. For the True King, he was to be used as an infinite power supply for the Great Wall. For Baragona, it's to use that same infinite power supply to destroy the Great Wall itself.
• Villainous Breakdown: Once the crew starts overpowering him, unable to take their power for himself, he starts hallucinating Cain as his brother Abel and begins blaming him for his brother's actions years prior.
• Villain with Good Publicity: Everybody in Rhem admires him, but everyone who truly knows him also knows how cruel he can be.
• With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: The repeated use of his Otherworldly powers even causes him to become insane and lose memories of what he was doing when he transformed.

Dolza Rhem

Voiced by: Tetsuo Goto

The current ruler of the Rhem Kingdom. Although he's the second son of the previous king, his older brother fled in pursuit of freedom, leaving Dolza to succeed to the throne.

---

• Connected All Along: His brother is Guzaletha of the Odajumoki gang.
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: Considers his brother to be far more superior than him.
• Pretty in Mink: His robe has a fur coat.

The True King

Tau'luk

Voiced by: Naoya Uchida

The Erune king whom the Seven Luminiary Knights serve. He claims dominion over all Skydoms, holding the keys to traverse the Grim Basin.

---

• Abdicate the Throne: To the surprise of everyone present, he does this in Chapter 155, claiming it as penance for his abuse of Istavion law, and selecting the Captain as his successor.
• Abusive Parents: He treated one of his daughters, Pholia, as a mere tool to use for conquest, resulting in Pholia's massive guilt complex over all the atrocities committed for her father. His other daughter, Alliah, is treated a lot nicer while growing up but upon her Heel–Face Turn and her rejection of him during the clash over the Great Wall, he promptly takes away her agency as a means of punishment. That said, Chapter 168 reveals that his treatment of Pholia was not done of his own volition, and seeing the future through the King's Eye forced him to lead Pholia to suffer a harsh fate.
• Archnemesis: To the captain's father and mother. It's revealed in Chapter 131 that the True King tries to kidnap the captain's mother due to her powers in the past and when that failed, he kidnapped the next closest thing, her sister, and by extension, the captain's aunt.
• Arranged Marriage: Not him, but he forces the protagonist and the Golden Knight (his daughter) into one as a final decree before he abdicates the throne.
• Big Bad: He was responsible for all the events that happened in Nalhegrande since at least fifteen years before the story proper. Even Gilbert's eventual betrayal is something he's already considered and even "rewarded" him with unlimited power for following through his plan to a tee. He is also the one pulling the strings of the events in the following arc.
• A God Am I: He doesn't explicitly state this, but the implication is pretty damn close. He believes himself to be beyond the morals of good and evil, and claim that the Great Wall, an ultimate weapon that can destroy islands with relative ease should belong to him, befitting his title of the true king.
• Jerkass: A grade-A asshole through and through. His one regret from activating the Great Wall fifteen years ago is that the Torhid king only gave enough fuel for one shot and he should've brought more people to sacrifice as fuel.
• King Incognito: He disguises himself as a commoner while he travels with the high priestess and the Violet Knight to the island of the Astrals.
• Lack of Empathy: He thinks of anyone as mere pawns and nothing more.
• The Man Behind the Man: To Gilbert. Even his betrayal was something he exploited to his favor.
• No Name Given: He has been solely referred to by his title of True King until Chapter 155 reveals his real name is Tau'luk.
• Offered the Crown: He leaves the Captain no choice but to take up his position as the next True King when he abruptly abdicates the throne in Chapter 155 of the main story. They only reluctantly agree due to being lead to believe that it will aid them in their journey.
• The Omniscient: Having the throne of Istavion and wielding the five pieces of its Sky Map allow him to view the histories of every timeline and anything Retgone within them. He passes this power onto the Captain after he abdicates the throne and gives it to them.
• People Puppets: Seems to have a primal beast named Sybil under his control, allowing him to use and abuse her power over destiny. So far, the True King uses it to take control of people and use them to say what he wants, either to relay a message to his knights or send unwitting pawns to where he wants to send them. The third arc also reveals that Sybil can also create a clone of any person but have the personality of the aspect he intended. For the clone Furias, his rage and temper is taken away in favor of cold logic.
• Ret-Gone: As a result of his Heroic Sacrifice to try and defeat Maxwell.
• Übermensch: He follows his own set of "morals", which basically boil down to "progress and efficiency" at any cost to prepare the world for a bigger threat. Possibly. The next arc establishes his concern is the Otherworld as he will go to murderous lengths to ensure Skydwellers fight against it.

Wayfaring Astral

Covers the antagonists debuting in the third arc, from Chapters 111 onwards.

The Blessed Ones

A group of Edgedwellers consisting of Astrals that have fallen off the skydom during the period of the war. They call themselves "The Blessed Ones" due to their powers.

---

• Fantastic Racism: Towards skydwellers in general.
• The Fundamentalist: They believe that no one must ever leave the Edgelands and that anyone who arrives there must eventually become a part of their cult.

The Holy Erste Empire

The new insurgent faction that suddenly appeared in Golonzo and is known to be a remnant of the old Erste Empire. They are being led by the now-returning Furias.

---

• Decapitated Army: They dissolve rather quickly following Furias' death.
• Disc-One Final Boss: They were merely a ploy to distract Phantagrande from the True King's goal of obtaining Akasha.
• Non-Indicative Name: Easily summarized by Pommern when he speaks his stance regarding the new Holy Erste Empire.
  They're not holy, and they're definitely not Erste.
• Outside-Context Problem: According to Queen Orchis "pop up out of nowhere" is exactly what they did.
• Powered Armour: They use advanced, mass-produced "Titan" armour to quickly overwhelm less advanced opponents. According to their leader, this technology will change the face of warfare forever.

Zwei

Voiced by: Minori Chihara

A golem with appearance similar to Orchid. She is allied with Furias and has a deep-rooted hatred for Orchid.

---

• All for Nothing: Despite getting Lloyd, The Violet Knight simply laughs off that she is nothing but a pawn created to be disposed and becoming Orchid herself is impossible to start with. It was enough to leave her catatonic for a good portion of time.
• Artificial Human: One of the traits she shares with the real Orchid is having a golem body with visible ball joints, similar to a doll or a mannequin.
• The Cake Is a Lie: The Violet Knight convinced Zwei that she can become "Orchid" when she gets Lloyd... big load of good that turned out.
• Clone Angst: Her issue with Orchid stems from this, along with I Just Want to Be Loved. She wants to become Orchid herself and believed that by destroying her, she will become Orchid herself and be loved by the masses.
  Only by killing the original can I become truly authentic...
• Death Wail: Let's out a long scream when she discovers that the Furias she knew is literally dead and blood-covered.
• The Ghost: According to a Golonzo townsfolk, there are actually not that many who met the Orchid impersonator in person. They know her only by the traits of having blue hair, red eyes and a golem body.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: In the first episode of Chapter 116, she is briefly covered in shadow with her left eye visibly glowing red.
• Idiot Hair: There's a lone strand of her on her top that looks like an ahoge.
• Insistent Terminology: Seriously, she just wants to be called "Orchid". She drops this after a second Villainous Breakdown.
• Kill and Replace: Her obsession. She wants to be recognized as the one and only "Orchid", and believes that she can achieve this by killing the original. After this got rendered as All for Nothing. She is slowly dropping out of this mentality.
• Meaningful Rename: The new Furias realizes that calling her Orchid while the original still exists is futile. He later reinforces this by bluntly telling the new golem that she can never be Orchid no matter what, despite her protests. Finally, Furias simply states that the name can cause confusion among their soldiers during fights, as they won't be able to tell which "Orchid" is which when given verbal commands (this is due to the members of the Erste Kingdom actually originating from the Erste Empire, who personally knew and saw the original Orchid from the first arc). With all these reasons, Furias commands that the new golem will be called "Zwei".
• Motivational Lie: The True King and the Violet Knight convinced her to Kill and Replace the original Orchid so that she may take her identity and Lloyd. It only turned out to be a lie as the True King wanted to have Lloyd. Even the Violet Knight knows that Zwei can never be the original no matter what she does. She was disposed afterwards after fulfilling her mission.
• My Name Is ???: She gets labeled as "???" in the first three Chapters where she initially appears, despite insisting others to call herself "Orchid". Chapter 118 changes this a bit by calling her "Orchid?". By chapter 119, Furias officially calls her as Zwei.
• Mythology Gag: Her physical appearance, backstory and personal conflict with Orchid are based on Zwei from Rage of Bahamut.
• Razor Floss: She uses red strings as weapons.
• Rei Ayanami Expy: Subverted. Despite having the same physical traits that make the original Orchid an example of this trope (blue hair, red eyes, golem body), this golem screams, laughs and easily freaks out.
• This Cannot Be!: Is shocked at being defeated by the teamwork of Orchid, Sturm and Drang, despite boasting to be stronger than them combined. She ends up screaming "How can this be?"
• Villainous Breakdown: She freaked out when she lost against Orchid, Sturm and Drang. And another when she finds out that all her efforts to get Lloyd is rendered All for Nothing.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: She gets words of encouragement from Orchid, Orchis and of all people, Loki when Zwei can barely think of what to do after her motivation for existing turned out to be a lie.

Necesaria

Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa

An Erune brought into Loki's crew by Gandharva.

---

• Affectionate Nickname: Before revealing himself to be Loki's crewmember, he makes a casual conversation with the Grandcypher crew, while also requesting everyone to simply call him "Ness".
• Agent Peacock: Easily his most distinctive trait as he dresses in very gaudy clothes and uses very noticeable makeup, with Midorikawa giving him a more jaunty tone and higher pitch in voice compared to Albert or Freyr.
• Code Name: "Necesaria" is an entirely fabricated name used for his role as a Society spy.
• Early-Bird Cameo: He was first previewed in the 5th anniversary spread of characters as a new character to be added into the game weeks ahead of his actual in-story debut.
• * Heroic Sacrifice: With Eugen, Rosetta and Io at the climax of the Wayfaring Astral arc, giving their lives to weaken the Otherworld Dragon.
• Master Poisoner: He's shown to be using various concoctions for combat, which even can harm Otherworldly Beings. He deploys an odorless, tasteless poison to take out the Violet Knight with the unfortunate side effect of murdering everyone else in the restaurant.
  • His Seal weapon effectively allows him to poison a god in the form of the Otherworld Dragon, proving vital to its downfall.
• Mysterious Past: Fenrir finds it very odd that neither Gandharva nor Loki seem to question Necesaria's backstory beyond the one line of being a Skyfarer from the countryside. She was right to question it, because he's feeding everyone a false history to obfuscate his real role as a Society agent.
• The Reveal: Chapter 130 reveals that he is an agent of one of the Society's branches, working to observe Loki's movements and carry out any other mission they request.

Egans

Voiced by: Kōzō Shioya

The Viceroy of Magmell Island, and the Principal of the Philos Institute. A high-ranking True King appointee and former historical researcher.

---

• Affably Evil: He has a softhearted and friendly demeanour, and it only slightly diminishes when his true colours show.
• Assimilation Plot: He plans to use Phronesis' power to create a "truly equal" education system where every student is homogenised in body and mind.

Repti

Voiced by: Akira Ishida

A playwright who resides on Libertaria island. He is actually an Astral known as Demiurge, who created many "second-rate" primals.

---

• Assimilation Plot: He plans to use the primal beast Zoetrope's power to merge everyone's consciousnesses and create god. Yes, a genuine god, not a projection or a knockoff. Or so Repti claims.
• Blinded by the Light: He permanently lost his eyesight due to witnessing the supreme creator god at Estalucia.
• Eye Scream: He does this to Hailak by showing him the same thing that robbed him of his eyesight, nearly blinding him permanently and forcing him get a pair of glasses.
• Nightmare Face: Similarly to Belial, he sometimes sports a deranged expression on his face when gets excited, though in his case, it lacks the sexual connotation.
• Obviously Evil: Both his appearance and his manner of speaking make it clear from the start that he is not the benevolent type.
• Walking Spoiler: Discussing details like his Astral nature gives away much of the arc's plot.

Llewig

Voiced by: Kazuhiro Nakaya

The prosecutor assigned to Raclitus' trial on Duat Island.

• Kill and Replace: His journey entry states that he cannot be found since the trial for Raclitus ended, implying he was actually killed by Otherworlders and then replaced with an Otherworldly Being to manipulate the trial for their own ends.

What Makes The Sky Blue

Covers antagonists in the anniversary events and side stories.

Shared Tropes

• Big Bad: Of each event in the What Makes the Sky Blue trilogy. Sandalphon is the main villain of "What Makes the Sky Blue", Belial and Beelzebub in "Paradise Lost", and Lucilius, Belial and Beelzebub in "000".
• Fatal Flaw: "Pride". While it's only proven to be fatal for Lucilius, it's universally the reason why their plans continue to fail along with their underestimation of the enemy and their consistent backstabbing of each other for the sake of their own agendas when their plans would go smoother if they worked together.
• Green-Eyed Monster: With the exception of Lucilius and Avatar, the latter of which has no desires, each villain was driven envy to some degree. Belial was jealous of the affection Lucilius showed Lucifer over him, Beelzebub was envious over Lucifer's power and beauty, and Sandalphon was jealous over everyone having purposes while he was without one.
• Jerkass: They all have few redeeming qualities in their debut events. That said, Sandalphon was at least somewhat sympathetic in the beginning and was fully redeemed by "Paradise Lost". Belial has begun to show his more sympathetic qualities over time, such as his genuine love for Lucilius.

Sandalphon

Voiced by: Kenichi Suzumura (Japanese), Howard Wang (English)

An archangel created by Lucifer long ago. He is the antagonist of the event "What Makes The Sky Blue". He was made the event character of its sequel event.

---

See the Granblue Fantasy: Sandalphon page.

Belial

Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya (Japanese), Matthew David Rudd (English)

Fallen Angel of Cunning

Formerly the primarch of cunning, the now fallen Belial embraces in the imperfections of the world. He has since become obsessed with the creator of Primal Beasts, Lucilius, a legacy hidden by Lucifer. He is the main antagonist of "What Makes the Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost".

---

• Adam and/or Eve: He and Lucifer were created at the same time and are the very first Primal Beasts.
• Animal Motifs: "What Makes The Sky Blue III: 000" gives him the motif of snakes. Azazel, another character associated with snakes even calls him as such in the prologue. Sandalphon refers to him as “The Serpent” in “The Maydays”.
• Beam Spam: His Anagenesis rains down lasers against the party.
• Big Bad Duumvirate: With Beelzebub during "Paradise Lost". Both have an interest in Lucilius' legacy for different reasons, and both obtained different items of interest for their own separate agendas. In Belial's case, it was Lucifer's headless corpse to resurrect his master.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Back when he worked with the Astrals in the research labs he put on a facade of politeness and amiability to deceive the other primarchs into giving him information.
• Black Eyes of Crazy: After enhancing himself with Avatar's powers, Belial's right eye becomes black with a red iris.
• Bow Chicka Wow Wow: The last verse of "Parade's Lust" is made up of this.
  Bow-chicka-wow-wow... Now bow chicka bow down.
• Bowdlerise: His innuendos are usually toned down.
  • This mostly happens with the English narration being altered in contrast to the original Japanese context.
    • For example, he outright mentions the word Sodomy in a Japanese line of dialogue during "Paradise Lost". That word is never found in the game's English-translated text.
    • It even applies to the Grand Blues! comic strips where Belial appears in. Such as in Grand Blues! Comic #995, #998 and #1067 where "Climax" gets translated to "Hit the Sweet Spot", "Down and Dirty" to "Hanky-Panky", and "I'm Coming!" to either "Free the Beast!" or "Dark Communion".
  • The official lyric video for his Image Song "Parade's Lust" replaces the Japanese captions of "Call me anal retentive!" to "x x x x". It's an inverse of the above examples, with the Japanese translation receiving the censorship this time.
• Break Out Villain: Since his introduction in “What Makes The Sky Blue: Paradise Lost”, he very quickly grew to be an almost universal fan favorite character to the point where people have asked for him to become a playable unit. Belial has since appeared in a lot of official Granblue merchandise, had a plot-relevance in the Dark Seraphic weapon questline, and was the first character revealed in the second Season Pass of Granblue Fantasy Versus. He’s also currently the only male character capable of unseating Sandalphon, the Break Out Villain that lead to his creation, in some official rankings, is consistently one of the highest trending topics whenever he gets new content and has two themed skins in Granblue Fantasy, one which can be unlocked through his Seraphic weapon and the other that can be purchased through buying his DLC code in Granblue Fantasy Versus.
• Cain and Abel: Being made at the same time as Lucifer, they could be considered “brothers”, and they essentially have this dynamic. However, he does not end up being the one who kills Lucifer, leaving that to Beelzebub.
• Calling Your Orgasms: By saying "I'm Coming!" in the original Japanese dialogues such as in Grand Blues! Comic #998. However, any variant of this innuendo gets toned down in the English version to "Free the Beast!".
• Catchphrase: He says "Okay!" quite often.
• Combat Pragmatist: When he does choose to engage in combat with others, he prefers to playing dirty over playing fair.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Betrays both Beelzebub, who in turn planned on betraying him as they were both using each other and Sariel to further Lucilius’ plans.
• Consummate Liar: No one, not even his own allies, are quite sure whether he's telling the truth, lying, or using Exact Words to disguise intent at any given moment. Beelzebub even openly wonders at one point if Belial is fundamentally incapable of telling the unvarnished truth.
• Continuity Nod:
  • Belial calls himself a fashion designer while presenting the scythe in the prologue of the Dark Seraphic weapon's quest episodes. This is a reference to how he jokingly labels himself as a fashion designer in his introduction during "Paradise Lost".
  • A Gold Trophy that you can get in WMTSB2 is titled "Let's Climax Together!". Belial says this once again in WMTSB3 just before he fights Beelzebub.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Was on the receiving end when he is beaten up from fighting Beelzebub. Once Belial acquired Avatar's powers, he starts toying with the protagonists and Sandalphon, albeit only temporarily as the latter devised a plan to turn the tide to his favor.
• Depraved Bisexual: He shows depraved desire for Lyria, Rackam, Sandalphon, and even his dead creator Lucilius. He's completely serious about it, even asking Sandalphon if he is a virgin in Japanese before their fight.
• Difficult, but Awesome: Belial's summon call effects are very unpredictable, but they can be very useful in the long run, in terms of what they offer. The Hype/Damage Cap/Charm/Defense Down effect in particular requires that you have two debuff cleanses ready, as that Charm works nearly 100% of the time, but once cleansed, your team enjoys a huge damage boost. But for the love of Lucifer, don't bring Sandalphon.
• Disney Villain Death: Subverted. He deliberately falls from Pandemonium, but is revealed to be Not Quite Dead.
• Double Entendre: He says a lot of these so much that it serves as a Running Gag in most of his appearances in Grand Blues!
• The Dragon: Formerly to his creator Lucilius. He instigated the Primarch rebellions as part of Lucilius' schemes. "000" reveals that his loyalties have carried over 2000 years, having used Lucifer's body to revive Lucilius to help the Astral finally witness the end of the world.
• Even Evil Can Be Loved: While the actual object of his affection doesn't care for him, Lucifer seemed to genuinely like him and pushed hard to be friends with him. Belial never returned that particular sentiment out of what was later implied to be jealousy, though he did seem to respect Lucifer in his own way.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: For all his faults, he seems to hold genuine feelings for Lucilius.
• Evil Sounds Deep: He speaks with a smoldering baritone suitable for someone who manipulates and entices as much as he does.
• Expy: His appearance was very similar to Lucifel◊ from El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron with minor adjustments, which lead to accusations of Cygames stealing the design and Ignition Entertainment threatened to charge them with plagiarism. The latter eventually dropped the issue for unknown reasons.
• Extreme Omnisexual: He has some interesting turn-ons, which include one of Lucifer's feathers, having his disguise seen through by the party, and Avatar.
• Fallen Angel: He fell from the rank of archangel and embraces his new demonic form.
• False Friend: To Lucifer. Despite being a former adjutant to him and someone who Lucifer openly trusted, he had no issue with eventually betraying him.
• Fashionable Asymmetry: His right horn is broken after being beaten up in his Avatar form.
• Flying Weapon: Much like Sandalphon, Belial uses four red swords that float beside him.
• Foil: To Sandalphon. Both have devotion to their superior/creator (Lucifer/Lucilius), however, while Sandalphon eventually redeems himself, Belial firmly remains evil for the duration of the Events he's in. They also share the same fighting style of utilizing up to four floating swords, with the difference that Sandalphon's are blue-purple while Belial's are crimson-red. Both even have a signature Beam Spam ability - Ain Soph Aur for Sandalphon and Anagenesis for Belial.
• The Gadfly: He was this to Lucifer long before the events of "Paradise Lost", as shown by him continuing to use formal language with him despite Lucifer verbalizing his dislike of it. Another instance has him interrupting a coffee date Lucifer was having with Sandalphon, which was the first instance in which Lucifer was shown to be visibly annoyed with Belial pre-rebellion. Not only did he interrupt the meeting, he also made sly comments about Sandalphon and drank out of Lucifer's cup out of spite when knowing that Sandalphon ran off to get him a fresh one, all of which served to annoy Lucifer further. It's a wonder why Lucifer continued in his efforts to become friends with Belial after this.
• Green-Eyed Monster: It's strongly implied that one of the reasons why he hated Lucifer so much is because Lucilius paid more attention to and very obviously preferred Lucifer over him.
• God in Human Form: While his exact power level in story is unknown, he was strong enough to be classified as a Providence series summon alongside Lucifer and Bahamut who are considered to be among the Top God’s of the Granblue Fantasy universe rather than being grouped with the other Primarchs in the Archangel summon series.
• Good Is Boring: How he feels about Lucifer, and why he is far more interested in Lucilius and his legacy.
• Gratuitous English: Aside from the various innuendos that he pronounces in English, Belial also speaks the Dark Seraphic's name, "Scythe of Belial" in this manner.
• The Hedonist: Invoked in the first line of his theme, "Parade's Lust".
• Heel–Face Revolving Door: While he never firmly plants himself on the side of good, he has at times helped the protagonists in the way that made them think differently about him, only for him to screw them over in the end. His summon description also sheds light on the fact that it’s difficult to decipher whether he’s altruistic or simply does things on a whim.
  "Ah hell, welcome to my feast, time to start the hedonism"
• Heh Heh, You Said "X": He loves to interpret everyone else's dialogue as something very very dirty.
• Idiot Ball: For as cunning as the writers claim he is, Belial does grab the idiot ball from time to time for the sake of the plot. For example, the entirety of "Paradise Lost" and "000" could have been avoided had he or Beelzebub destroyed the Seraphim Cradle with Sandalphon in it after killing Lucifer. If they had, Lucifer wouldn't have been able to transfer his powers to his successor and there would be no one except the Singularity preventing Lucilius from succeeding in his plan to destroy the world, which would have likely gone off without a hitch as Sandalphon was the only one capable of stopping him with the combined power of the primarchs. While it could be written off as the villains simply underestimating Sandalphon and therefore not perceiving him as a legitimate threat, it was not as if he was just a fledging primarch, he was a fledging primarch with ultimate power, and a pissed one at that.
• Ignored Enamored Underling: Is revealed to have romantic feelings for Lucillius in What Makes The Blue: 000 in spite of how coldly Lucilius regards him. He goes as far as to follow Lucillius into the void to a fate unknown for both of them.
• In Love with Your Carnage: Heavily implied to be the reason he's in love with Lucilius. That said, later stories also imply that it may be deeper than that.
• Interplay of Sex and Violence: He likes to flirt with others while expressing a desire for affectation through combat. He's done it to Lyria, Rackam, and Sandalphon. In the original Japanese text, he brings up fornication, sodomy, and orgasms.
  Sandalphon: I can still finish you off before I'm done.
  Belial: Oh, and I hope you will. I think you'll train up nicely once you're all tired out and feeling more pliable.
• Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: At the end of WTMSB3, he offers the crew a getaway ship from the place they're currently crashing. However, Belial rigged it so that it would explode upon take-off.
• Leitmotif: Parade's Lust, a spin on the boss theme from Paradise Lost with lyrics that would make David Bowie blush.
• Marked Change: Tattoos appear on Belial's body when he absorbs Avatar's power and they glow red when he uses Anagenesis in this form. Yet, they disappear when he reverts back to his usual form at the end of "000".
• Meaningful Name: Outside of his name being a reference to one of the kings of hell, referencing back to his truly villainous nature and demonic appearance ( especially after obtaining Avatars power), it’s stated in the Ars Goetia that Belial was created as the first after Lucifer. In the Granblue Fantasy setting, Lucifer states that he and Belial were created around the same time, though it’s implied that Lucifer was created first.
• Mr. Fanservice: His handsome and revealing character design and penchant for innuendos have made him popular amongst fans.
• Navel Window: His buttoned cloak leaves an opening for his navel and abs.
• The Nicknamer: Usually uses nicknames in place of a person's real name, like "Bubs" (Bab-san) for Beelzebub, "Cilius" (Fa-san) for Lucilius, and "Sandy" for Sandalphon. He even nicknames the tetra-element Primarchs, calling Gabriel "Gabu" and Michael "Mika". The only person connected to him without a known nickname is Lucifer.
• Nightmare Face: His, uh... overly excited expression combines an orgasm with a Slasher Smile to an incredibly unnerving degree.
• No Shirt, Long Jacket: Wears a black cloak buttoned at the middle, but shirtless inside.
• Not Quite Dead: He flings himself off Pandemonium which everyone takes as a sign that he won't be coming back... until he shows up at Etemananki, having charmed his way into acquiring an airship.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: Though he's treated by the Grandcypher crew as nothing more than an incredibly perverted maniac, his machinations have influenced the skydoms for centuries. He also notably is one of the few antagonists to outright murder a civilian on-screen as a rebuttal to Beelzebub questioning if he had gone soft.
• One-Winged Angel: His new form as Avatar Belial, having absorbed Avatar's power via Sariel's wings. All of his special attacks become enhanced thanks to this power-up, for example Goetia now goes from a double to triple attack buff.
• Pet the Dog: Him ripping the wings off Sariel actually is beneficial for the latter as it restores the Avatar-tainted angel's sanity. Though again, like many of his actions, if that was his actual intent or not is unclear. Regardless, the crew tests this as him being not so bad after all.
  • His loyalty and love for Lucilius also proves that he himself isn’t a complete sociopath, and that he has the ability to care about someone beyond himself, even if that person he loves happens to be an actual sociopath that doesn’t care about anything beyond himself unless your name is Lucifer.
  • Rather than spending the entire time mocking Lucifer's loss as one would expect of him, he is surprisingly gentle and reflective upon finding his corpse, paying him a proper goodbye before he leaves.
• Polar Opposite Twins: Is this in a way to Lucifer. 000 confirms that Lucifer and Belial were Lucilius' first creations and were created at the same time. Whereas Lucifer is a force of order and fights to uphold peace in the skies, Belial thrives on chaos. Their personalities are the exact opposite of one another as well; Lucifer is serious and takes everything at face value, kind, honorable, and remains pure even in death whereas Belial is vulgar, speaks in double entendres, and isn't afraid to back stab. He even betrays Lucilius trust a few times and is implied to be glad that Lucilius’ plan failed in 000 despite all the trouble he went through to help him.
• Power at a Price: His Sub-Aura as a summon grants the party a good supplemental damage buff (30,000 at maximum uncap) at the cost of reducing their max HP by 30% (however, the reduction is additive, meaning that existing passive HP boosts will mitigate it). He can also provide this through his Cunning Horseplay effect when he is summoned. ^{Which are:}He can grant the whole party 4 levels of Hype and boost their Damage Cap by 20%, but also inflict Charm and Defense Down, grant the Fruit of Life buff, which heals both the party and the enemy on the next skill cast, grant the Forbidden Fruit buff, which greatly boosts Charge Attack damage at the cost of 10% of their max HP, and lastly, exclusively for Sandalphon, instantly fill his Charge Bar, grant him C.A. Reactivation, and a Forbidden Fruit buff that eats 49% of his max HP after using his Charge Attack, with the reactivation buff totalling a 98% HP cost.
• Promoted to Playable: Not quite yet, but he did make his debut in the gacha as a summon stone in December 2019's Premium Gala. He's also one of the playable DLC characters of Granblue Fantasy Versus.
• Pygmalion Plot: Inverted Trope. He was created by Lucilius and is in love with him, but Lucilius doesn't reciprocate and finds him annoying.
• Red and Black and Evil All Over: Initially wears a black jacket, and possesses black bat wings. Belial's weapon are red floating swords. As Avatar Belial, he later gains body tattoos that constantly glow red.
• Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: His name and characterization are based from the Belial of Ars Goetia, the 68th demon who represents carnal impulses, and someone who won't give true answers unless presented with offerings or sacrifices.
• Shared Life-Meter: The Impossible raid boss battle in "Paradise Lost" is actually a fight against two bosses, with Belial starting the fight for the first half of their health, and swapping out with Avatar once their HP bar dips at 50%.
• Satanic Archetype: He fits the mold of Satan better than Avatar. A villainous trickster viewed as a cunning serpent by others, deceiving and manipulating Angels and Fallen Angels alike, performing experiments on those killed in the battle to create doomsday weapons, Lust for everything in his presence, a desire to destroy existence made by God, and even absorbs Avatar's power through Sariel to become Avatar Belial.
• Sinister Scythe: The Scythe of Belial contains his power, and is, surprisingly, one of the Seraphic Weapons the player can forge.
• Super Prototype: He, along with Lucifer, was one of the first Primals ever created, and while his exact power-level without the addition of Avatar's power is unknown, it's heavily implied that he is also incredibly strong.
• Tempting Apple: Some illustrations show him holding an apple, and in Versus he magically creates one as part of his taunt animation.
• Trapped in Another World: He and Lucilius get sucked into the rift at the end of "What Makes The Sky Blue III: 000", trapped in between dimensions. In the non-canon Versus storyline, he escapes the dimension rift and starts wrecking havoc in another world in order to reawaken Lucilius.
• Twins Are Special: In the Fallen Paradise fate episode, Belial and Lucifer fight a horde of Otherworldly creatures together and wordlessly remain in sync with each other through eye contact and flaps of their wings.
• Undying Loyalty: To Lucillius who he resurrects in What Makes The Sky Blue Pt. 3 in order to see the end of the world with.
• Underestimating Badassery: Admits that he really should've prioritized the Singularity instead of trying to take out Supreme Primarch Sandalphon.
  • He severely underestimates Sandalphon's capabilites as a successor to Lucifer, something that comes back to bite him in the ass every time they end up clashing. In fact, had he taken out Sandalpphon while still in his Seraphim Cradle, the entirety of "Paradise Lost" and "000" would have been avoided and Lucilius' plan to destroy the world would have gone off without a hitch, as Sandalphon was the only person who would be capable of stopping him.
• Villains Out Shopping: In a magazine that asked Granblue characters questions about Summer, Belial talks about how he likes to spend his off days shopping for accessories.
• Villain Respect: He doesn’t downplay how powerful Lucifer was prior to his death, and views Sandalphon as nothing more than a cheap substitute for Lucifer after he inherits his power.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: He claims that his true motive was simply to release Primals like Sandalphon and Rosetta from the torment of their eternal duties, lives, and attachment to Skydwellers who care about them. Whether he genuinely champions this cause or was just trying to get in one final needle at Sandalphon is up for debate.
• We Will Meet Again: Says this to the cast on various occasions both in and out of the game, due to believing their fates are intertwined.
• Wild Card: Belial does what he wants, including things that don't benefit himself or his master in the long run. Not only did he leave behind the Primal Beast Containment Field research to ensure Beelzebubs downfall, he spared Sandalphon at points when he should have been exterminated long before "000", betrays Sariel for a power up while at the same time saving Sariels life, gets an airship for the crew to escape on but sets a bomb to detonate it, and even gets Lucilius to be frustrated that Belial didn't want him to succeed in destroying existence. It also plays into his unique Summon Call effect, Cunning Horseplay, which grants completely random and unpredictable effects every 6/5/4 turns for the entirety of the battle where he is summoned.
• While Rome Burns: Belial and Beelzebub just casually play chess while there's an ongoing war near Pandemonium.
• Would You Like to Hear How They Died?: Pulls this on Sandalphon so he will lose his will to fight as he tells Sandalphon of how Lucifer died. Unfortunately for him, Gran/Djeeta is there to pick Sandalphon back up.
• Yandere: Admits to Lucifer's corpse that he's going to see the end of the world with Lucilius whether he wants to or not.

Avatar

A chimera primal beast created by Lucilius using the cores of the primal beasts that rebelled against the astrals as he planned all along. It is a force of pure power with no mind of its own and is fought in "What Makes the Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost". He was later made available as an Optional Boss in one of the chapters in Nalhegrande.

Beelzebub

The Absolute

^{Click here to see his unhooded appearance in Versus}

The hooded figure, a former astral, and a schemer seeking to make use of Lucilius' dark and light legacy with his fellow conspirator Belial in "What Makes The Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost".

---

• Ambiguously Gay: Part of his hatred Lucifer came from his envy of his power despite him being a lab experiment.... as well as his beauty, if the description from Versus and the Chaos Returns quest is any indication.
• Animal Motifs: He has Scorpion theme in the accessories on his outfit. The way he uses his wing also similar to a scorpion stinger, and his chaos matter is essentially venom to Primarchs. Per his name, he’s also associated with bugs like flies and even transforms into a creature that looks like one in Tower of Babyl.
• Authority Equals Asskicking: He used to be a member of the Astrals' High Council. Played with in that he only became really good at asskicking after he lost his position of authority and was imbued with power by Lucilius.
• Badass Longcoat: His wide black longcoat which also doubles as an extended Badass Cape.
• Barrier Warrior: His Langelaan Field move can create a magical barrier to protect himself in Versus. In RPG Mode, it significantly rises his defense and can only be broken by a Skybound Art. He has this ability because his original self, Helel ben Shalem can also do the same with her Invisible Touch skill.
• Big Bad Duumvirate: He works with Belial to bring about Lucifer's death and grab Lucilius' legacy in "Paradise Lost". The two have differing agendas, however. Beelzebub's involves the Avatar's regenerating shade, which he successfully acquires.
• Big Bad Wannabe: He certainly thought he was able to match Lucifer and outwit Belial, but Lucifer took said blow to protect Sandalphon and Belial saw through his plans, even his ploy to use Sariel was foresaw by Belial. His plans quickly fall apart when the chaos awakens Lucilius who stabs and shoots an attack as he tries to escape. His attempt to make a comeback is quickly foiled by the skydwellers banding together to take him down.
• Brought Down to Badass: Even after the severe injuries Lucilius gives him, Beelzebub is strong enough to easily fight Halleul and Malluel wielding Chaos Matter weapons, and the united knight captains. Cagliostro has to rely on the containment research made to imprison primals to finally take him down and seal Beelzebub away, due to the primals power in his core.
• Calling Your Attacks: He's normally very reserved with his special moves, but Beelzebub will make an exception by calling out loud his Super Skybound Art, Chaos Legion.
• Combat Pragmatist: In the most cowardly way possible. He and Belial waited two thousand years for Lucifer to let his guard down so that they could ambush him, due to knowing that they could never face him head-on.
• Dark Is Evil: Dark skin, dark clothing, named after a variant of Satan, uses chaos and void powers. Yep, this guy is so Obviously Evil it hurts. This also serves as a contrast to Helel ben Shalem, who is a case of Dark Is Not Evil.
• Determinator: When he first died and went to the Crimson Horizon, Beelzebub spent countless ages slaughtering endless swarms of legions sent by another to kill him. He fought his way through that hell to return to the Skydoms, even gaining the immortal killing chaos matter in the process. Even after Lucilius critically injures him, he's still going, planning to go back to the Crimson Horizon and replenish his power and arsenal. And once again, even after being sealed away, he breaks out and continues to reek havoc forcing Sandalphon, Cagliostro and the crew to once again go after him, this time in the Tower of Babyl. He just won’t stay gone.
• Didn't See That Coming: Belial actually having critical knowledge on the Divine Tower's nature blindsides Beelzebub, throwing him into a panic as he tries to plan on the fly to account for this new knowledge.
• Evil Counterpart: Metatron theorizes that he is the "singularity" of the Crimson Horizon like how the Captain is the singularity of the sky world.
  • Helel ben Shalem's fate episode implies that he's actually a clone of the Dusk Speaker, Shalem, much like how Lucilius is a clone of the Dawn Speaker, Sahar/Lucio. This is further supported by Granblue Fantasy Versus, where his face is revealed to be similar to Shalem and the self-augmentation of his body with a Primal Beast's core is explicitly compared to how Lucilius created Lucifer to make up for his own imperfections.
• Even Evil Has Standards: He's notably off-put by Belial's sexual antics, something which is joked about in the 4komas.
• Expy: He may or may not intentionally be this to Beelzebub^note  Also known as Beelzebuth in Japanese from the Rage of Bahamut: Genesis anime, as they are both very similar in both name and character. Both consider themselves rivals to and want to have power over their respective Lucifer’s, are both Big Bad Wannabe ‘s that get betrayed by the very things they summoned to work in their favor and are both merely pawns in their respective allies’ games. He’s also by extension connected to Azazel, a character that actively worked against Beelzebub in the Anime and still serves and is loyal to Lucifer even in Granblue Fantasy but it’s currently unknown how much they have to do with each other or if Azazel will be the one that ultimately kills Beelzebub, as he did the one from Rage Of Bahamut.
• Fantastic Racism: He calls lesser archangel "drones", and skydwellers in general "skyroaches". He also appears to detest Primals in general, viewing them as lesser beings than those of astrals. His hatred of Lucifer came partially from the fact that Lucifer bested him in power despite him being a lab experiment, so much that it awed him.
• Fatal Flaw: Pride. Despite being very powerful, he constantly underestimated others and always think he's in control of the situation. When things don't go the way he planned, he's unable to adapt and paid heavy price.
  • In the most unexpected way, he actually overcomes this flaw temporarily in Versus by allying himself with the crew to foil Belial's and Lucilius' plan.
• Femme Fatalons: He has long black nails like Helel ben Shalem.
• Foil:
  • To Lucilius. Both are the Astral clones of the Omnipotent's Speakers, while Lucilius is a straight up clone of Helel ben Sahar, Beelzebub is actually an Opposite-Sex Clone of Shalem. Lucilius has a great thirst for knowledge, while Beelzebub has a great thrist for power. Lucilius is a researcher, while Beelzebub is a high profile politician in the Astral' High Council. Lucilius is a Villain in a White Suit in contrast of Beelzebub's black hood. Both seek to bring the destruction of the sky, but while Beelezbub want to do it in order to start a new world order with him as God, Lucilius does it because he hate the world order Bahamut implement to the sky and called it "Free will". Beelzebub is deeply jealous of Lucilius, Lucilius doesn't even care anything about Beelzebub. Beelzebub calls Lucilius his "lonely friend" in the lyrics of "Existence", yet Lucilius was in fact a close friend of Lucifer and Belial is very affectionate of him, while Beelzebub himself has no one who can express the same affection to him. Most things Lucilius does always come from his own design and creations, in contrast, Beelzebub always have to steal from Lucilius and others to fuel his own plan.
  • To his original self, Helel ben Shalem. The most obvious point is him being a muscular buff 188cm tall man, while Shalem is a petite little girl. Beelzebub is a power hungry man with a chronic case of Fantastic Racism toward skydwellers and seeks to become a God. In contrast, Shalem is, in fact, an actual God, yet despite being a bit arrogant herself, Shalem does not lord her divinity around, and became close friends with skydwellers despite their huge difference in status. Beelzebub stole his chaos matter from the Otherwordly Beings, while the Otherwordly Beings want to steal Shalem's godly powers to themselves. Both also ended up being sealed, yet the event leading to Beelzebub being sealed is also the event that unsealed Shalem.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Envied Lucifer for his power and beauty, being disgusted at himself for even being in awe of the primal who he initially viewed as a lesser being.
• Godhood Seeker: Attempted to become lord of creation by sitting out the destruction of the Skydoms in the Divine Tower, remaking a new world to his own vision from the chaos.
  All power will revert to me. All worlds will rest in the palm of my hand.
• Good Wings, Evil Wings: His steel wings are the result of him absorb cores from primal beasts, and is dyed black in contrast of the Primarchs' wings.
• Hate Sink: On par with Gilbert and the True King but Beelzebub specially stands out due to the fact that he is partnered up with Belial, who while just as evil is charismatic enough to develop friendships with others, such as Sariel. Beelzebub on the other hand likes no one, and is similarly despised by everyone due to how unlikeable he is, how psychopathic he is, his lack of any redeemable qualities, and the fact that he is neither as intelligent as he liked to believe, nor as much of a threat compared to Belial or Lucilius. The fact that he killed Lucifer for very little reason hasn’t helped his likability much and his Determinator qualities make him more of a nuisance to not only the crew but to fans as well, with many hoping he’d just die so they can move onto the final stand-off with Belial and Lucilius.
• Hero Killer: He killed Lucifer, and would've killed Sandalphon as well if not for Lucifer using himself as a shield for his cradle.
• Hybrid Monster: The resident alchemist Cagliostro even calls him an "Astral-Primal Chimera", which explains his supernatural strength. He obtained this power by absorbing the cores of primals.
• I Am Not Left-Handed: If he's still hooded when fighting someone, then it means he's not fighting seriously. Even then, he's still able to wipe the floor with Belial after the later turn on him. Despite being severely injured by Lucilius, he can still toy with the skydweller knights (all badasses in their own right) who came to stop him, and only defeated because of his arrogance and Cagliostro's seal. It takes fighting a fellow Singularity for him to unhood and fight seriously in Versus.
• In the Back: Stabbed Lucifer in the side while his back was turned in "Paradise Lost", giving him the advantage to behead him before he could retaliate...seemingly. It's later revealed that Lucifer didn't retaliate for fear that Sandalphon would be collateral damage.
• In the Hood: Has his eyes covered by the hood in all appearances. The closest it comes to being taken off is when Lucilius stabs him.. He finally averts this in Versus, where he fights without his cloak.
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: A pretty arrogant character who thinks he's the boss of everyone, but the bio of his wings in Versus states he's secretly envious of Lucifer as a being with unmatched strength and beauty, and Lucilius for capable of creating such a being in the first place.
• Irony: Everything he did always depend on Lucilius's plan, researchs, schemes and his creations, so it's only karmic that he was brought down by skydwellers using Lucilius's research, left behind by Lucilius's creation in Lucilius's lab.
  • "000" is the event leading to him become sealed. It's also the event that freed his original self, Helel ben Shalem, from being sealed.
  • He kills Lucifer by stabbing him in the back. When Lucilius wakes up in Lucifer's body, the first thing he does is repay the favor by stabbing Beelzebub in the back.
• Kryptonite Factor: His chaos matter weapons are one for primarchs, as they can flat out ignore their regeneration and immortality. Lucifer is killed because of this. It also works on fallen angels as well, as Belial found out himself. In return, things that harm primal beasts are effective against him, as he absorbed cores of primal beasts into himself for power.
• Locked Out of the Loop: He’s unaware of what happened to Lucilius and Belial after he was sealed away by Cagliostro, believing that they left for another world by the time he breaks free.
• Logical Weakness: He incorporated the core of a primal into himself, making him susceptible to all anti-primal measures, as seen with the primal containment field Cagliostro employs against him.
• Mook Maker: After absorbing Avatar's core, he gains the ability to manifest lesser fallen angels like Cherubs and Watchers in "000". He uses this ability again in Versus, manifesting his own versions of the Angel Halo's called Exia, derived from the Powers name in Greek(Exousia).
• One-Man Army: He was exiled to the Crimson Horizon after the fallen angels purge. The Crimson Horizon is the home turf of the endless hordes of Otherworldly Beings. This place is so anti-Astral, even Loki doesn't want anything to do with them on their home turf. Beelzebub not only survived the place for years, he actually fended all of them by himself and even stole chaos matters away from them. After being defeated by Lucilius in "000", he actually considered going back to this setting's version of Hell to replenish his chaos matter stock like it is a walk to the local market. By the time of Jeanne d'Arc (Grand) fate episode, the Otherworldly Beings are still pissed about him.
• Only Friend: The lyrics of Existence implies he consider Lucilius his only friend. Lucilius only saw him as a convenient pawn, and he casually stabs Beelzebub in the back after his revival in "000".
• Only Known by Their Nickname: In Granblue Fantasy Versus, he is not referred to by name at all and is only ever called "Chaos Bringer". Subverted when you actually fight him in Arcade mode and RPG mode, where his name is clearly revealed as Beelzebub.
• Opportunistic Bastard: The only way he was able to get the upper hand on Lucifer in the first place was because of this trope. If Lucifer weren't distracted for the first time in thousands of years, things may have turned out differently.
• Opposite-Sex Clone: Of Helel ben Shalem, the Dusk Speaker. In contrast with Lucilius, who is a straight up clone of Helel ben Sahar.
• Post-Final Boss: What he ends up being to the What Makes the Sky Blue trilogy, Beelzebub appears in the main story in the chapters Chaos Returns: Dawn/Dusk, where he breaks free of Cagliostro's cage, renders Pandemonium powerless, tries to bring his own version of the Grand Finale into existance and fights the party and Sandalphon, only to be defeated by the Captain and Sandalphon, casted off into the bottom of the sky, and his plans foiled by Lucio and Helel ben Shalem. However, the destruction of Pandemonium only served to empower him further, creating an even greater threat than he initially posed.
• Power Floats: When he actually unhood himself and fight seriously, this is his default battle stance, another trait he inherited from Helel ben Shalem.
• Really 700 Years Old: He's already around before the War, roughly more than 2000 years before the present time.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Despite having half of his face covered by the hood, one of his eyes glows red in the shadows◊.
• Ret-Canon: Several concepts regarding Beelzebub actually originated from the Versus Fighting Game spin-offs and his iteration there (such as his unhooded appearance and "Existence" theme song) before they were implemented in the Granblue gacha, and despite Versus having its own story that deviated from the gacha's "What Makes The Sky Blue" arc.
• Satanic Archetype: Beelzebub is one of Satan's name. As the clone of a Speaker, he's technically the number two to the resident's God. He was also banished to the setting's palette of Hell and emerged from it to become an enemy of the setting's Angels. Beelzebub also gains command of Avatar in Versus, who is modeled after the literal Satan Primal Beast.
• Sequential Boss: His RPG mode boss fight has three phases, the first phase he fights the party as a warming-up, he summons Avatar for the second phase, and the third phase is his actual serious boss fight.
• Smart People Play Chess: His bio in Versus states his hobby is playing board games. He also played a round of chess with Belial in half of his screentime in "000" while dropping plenty of chess analogies.
• Smug Snake: Normally Beelzebub would be a Smug Super, due to the fact that his power can rival Lucifer's after he absorbed the cores of the primals and he is considered a legitimately dangerous opponent however, as with everything else, his personality turns him into this. Beelzebub may have incredible power but since he thinks that he is smarter and stronger than everyone else in the room he tends to dismiss people that are legitimate threats. Be it the Captain, Cagliostro, Belial, Sandalphon or the Eternals, he always dismiss them as flies and always ends up being defeated and cast off to the bottom of the skies. This is specially egregious with the crew however because Beelzebub knows and remembers what they've done to him, or in the case of the Eternals even Belial with the same power source was not willing to fight all ten Eternals at the same time, and still insists on treating them as non-threats.
• Spanner in the Works: Thus far, there is only one instance in which he manages to one-up Lucilius. In Versus Rising, Beelzebub gives the Versus Core back to its rightful owner, whom Belial and Lucilius had taken in order to lure the singularities into a trap, unleashing the divine guardian Versusia upon them and utterly ruining their "Grand Finale".
• Switch-Out Move: In Chapter 5 of "000", Beelzebub opens a portal right in front of Belial so that Sariel would accidentally teleport and slash his comrade with the Chaos Matter scythe.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: From the very beginning and even in the flashbacks, it’s very clear that his hatred of primals extended to Belial despite them working together toward a similar goal. Belial’s innuendo-laden dialogue certainly didn’t endear him to Beelzebub either, and only pissed Beelzebub off further every time they spoke. Not that this mattered to Belial, who only saw him as a pawn for Lucilius’ plan either way.
• Unique Enemy: Beelzebub is only fought on a Scripted Battle of "000" and he doesn't even have a stand-alone raid battle outside of the story chapters, unlike the case of Belial and Lucilius during the run of the event.
• The Unreveal: We never get to see what his face looked like In the Hood except the fact that he had blonde hair. Subverted in Granblue Fantasy Versus, where his true appearance is revealed.
• Unknown Rival: He sees himself as a rival to Lucifer and Lucilius, wanting to have power over him as Lucifer has power that puts him above all living things, and envious of Lucilius for creating such a supreme being like Lucifer. Neither of them appear to return the sentiment, as Lucifer was shown to be kind (if not a bit wary) of him before the rebellion while Lucilius regarded him with indifference.
• Villain Respect: Given that his hatred toward Lucifer was born out of envy, he does appear to hold Lucifer himself in some sort of high regard. It’s because of this that he doesn’t take Sandalphon seriously, viewing him as nothing more than a cheap substitute for Lucifer after he inherits Lucifer’s power.
• Villain Song: Beelzebub is a unique case because he wasn’t associated with any theme song when he freshly debuted in the Granblue gacha game. The Fighting Game spin-off Versus gave "Existence" as his theme, which talks about his jealousy of Lucilius, and his desire to triumph over him to become the king of all existence. Eventually later on, "Existence" is added in the source gacha game itself as the background music of Beelzebub's raid boss fights and related quests such as "Long Live the King".
• Was Once a Man: He was an Astral in the past, but at some point became a creature greater than that. His power is now great enough to challenge and slay Lucifer himself. He implanted a Primal Beast core into himself, which becomes his undoing in "000".
• While Rome Burns: Belial and Beelzebub just casually play chess while there's an ongoing war near Pandemonium.
• Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: He has several moments like this in Tower of Babyl in which he claims that if he unleashed his full power he could easily destroy Sandalphon and the company he's traveling with and is simply choosing to hold back his full power, for some reason.
• The Worf Effect: Downplayed, as Beelzebub wasn't able to kill the Supreme Primarch Lucifer by the feat of his own strength, instead having to wait until he was distracted to make a move and he used the Primal KryptoniteFactor in the form of Chaos Matter. However, for an Astral that's supposed meant to be incredibly strong in any other scenario, he sure does taste defeat a lot, and not necessarily always by the hand of the protagonists.

Lucilius

Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai (Japanese), Sean Chiplock (English)

^Spoilers

Introduced as ??? in the first part of "What Makes the Sky Blue", Lucilius is later revealed in the second part to be an Astral and the creator of the first Primal Beasts, Supreme Primarch Lucifer and his adjutant Belial. Lucifer killed him off long before the story, but his legacy is the driving force behind the "What Makes the Sky Blue" events.

---

• Above Good and Evil: Sees himself as above the labels given by "mere mortals", believing that the only thing that truly matters is power.
• Alien Blood: His blood, labelled as ichor, is pitch-black, though the dark aura it emits is blue.
• Ambiguous Situation: More like, "Ambiguous Plan". He states that Lucifer dying wasn’t part of the plan, despite knowing that Lucifer wouldn’t approve of what he had schemed and is seemingly embittered by the notion that he lost his only equal. It’s unknown what he planned to do with Lucifer had he still been alive by the time Lucilius was resurrected.
  • Also pertaining to Lucifer, did Lucilius actually care about him, or was his uncharacteristic affection for Lucifer based on his own narcissism? While it's easy to assume that his affection for Lucifer was purely narcissistic due to Lucilius' personality, there's a number of things that suggest that he did actually like Lucifer, such as his bitterness toward Lucifer's death along with the fact that he had no intention of allowing Lucifer to die in the first place despite subconsciously creating him to complete himself. There was also him allowing Lucifer to keep Sandalphon as a pet if he grew to care about him rather than going through with disposing of him, something that wouldn't have benefitted Lucilius in any way and would eventually prove to be his undoing in more ways than one.
• And I Must Scream: He and Belial get sucked into the rift at the end of "What Makes The Sky Blue III: 000", trapped in between dimensions. Even more so for him since Belial's summon line implies that he's not enjoying Belial's company.
• The Anti-God: After absorbing Sahar's power into Lucifer's core, he becomes the strongest being in all of creation, bent on destroying the world Top God Bahamut created in order to prove his existence.
• Alternate Universe: The second round of the Q-pot drama track which features the fallen angel faction takes place in one. Like Lucifer before him, the story centers around him as the head Chocolatier in a passterie called "Les Tenebres". However, unlike Lucifer who serves the sky farers that visit his Passtierie, Lucilius demands to be served by Belial and the visitor and spends most of the track ordering them around.
• Apocalyptic Log: In "What Makes The Sky Blue III: 000", Gabriel and Cagliostro were sent to investigate a hidden Astral laboratory to find clues pertaining to the experiments of the now-deceased Lucilius. They were able to find a documentation of his personal thoughts and findings about the discovery of the Crimson Horizon and some regarding fallen angels.
• Back from the Dead: Though he was decapitated by Lucifer, Belial's retrieval of his head and Lucifer's body allows him to be fully revived by the third "What Makes the Sky Blue" event, only to be subjected to a Fate Worse than Death by being sealed in the space between dimensions. Even then, this does not last as he comes back once again in Versus Rising, this time with a burning desire for revegne against the Singularity for foiling his plans.
• Beam Spam: After absorbing Lucio/Helel ben Sahar into Lucifer’s core, he gains the ability to cast a dark rendition of "Paradise Lost". Also his raid trigger "Axion Apocalypse".
• Biblical Motifs: Keeping in line with the biblical motifs of the Primarchs and Lucio, his skills names and effects as a raid boss make references to the Bible with one skill animation even resembling the tree of life.
• Breakout Villain: While not nearly on the same level as Sandalphon and Belial, he's become this following his resurrection in "What Makes The Sky Blue: 000", with him being the only evil Lucifer-lookalike in the Granblue universe, his deep voice, and his general badassery, especially in his raid, definitely helping him gain this status. It also helps that he is the object of Belial's affection, and is the second half of a villanous relationship foil with Belial that contrasts Lucifer and Sandalphons more pure relationship.
• Came Back Strong: As far as the player was shown from his past as an Astral, he didn't have any combatative abilites and primarily worked in the field of research while his creations did the heavy lifting. However, after being resurrected in Lucifer's body, the remnants of Lucifer's power allowed him to easily strike down Beelzebub, who was forced to retreat. As well, Lucilius becomes even stronger after defeating and absorbing Helel ben Sahar into Lucifer's core, becoming the strongest being in all of creation by Sandalphon's own word.
• Casting a Shadow: Unlike Lucifer and Lucio, who are both demonstrated as having Light-based powers, he has powers over dark and casts a dark rendition of "Paradise Lost". As a raid boss (in both his Impossible and Impossible (Hard) version), however, he is Null element.
• The Chessmaster: Not only created the Primal Beasts, but also instigated their rebellion and their failure so he could collect their cores. His "legacies" are also very prominent, having hundreds of backup plans in case his endgame doesn't work.
• Clone Angst: Zig-zagged. As we find out in "What Makes The Sky Blue: 000" through Lucio, he subconsciously knew that he was a mere inferior imitation of Lucio and instinctively made Lucifer in an attempt to complete himself. Despite this, Lucilius had no intention of killing Lucifer to claim his body and power and instead seemed perfectly content with simply viewing Lucifer as his equal. He was also quite bitter after learning of Lucifer's death, mourning the loss of said equal. However, he didn't take learning that he himself was a clone very well, and fought and absorbed Lucio into Lucifer's core to perfect himself.
• Combat Stilettos: He wears heels in battles.
• Crazy-Prepared: The grand finale of Pandemonium was merely one of his several thousand plans he had cooked up to destroy the world, with him deciding to employ a Colony Drop to crash into Pandemonium after Belial's defeat.
• Creating Life: Created all of the primarchs and fallen angels shown in the "What Makes The Sky Blue" storyline with the exception of Sandalphon, who was created by Lucifer under his order. It's currently unknown if he created Kokabiel, a fallen angel that was only revealed in Cerberus' 5* fate episodes, or Raziel, who appears in the event "Heart of the Sun," who has a different design motif than other female Primarchs created by him (save for the leotard).
• Deader than Dead: In his Impossible (Hard) raid, he has the trigger "The End" which knocks out all of your allies, including everyone in the backline, and ignores Autorevive, an effect that brings back fallen allies. You also cannot use Full Elixirs in this raid, meaning that once you get knocked out, you're fucked.
• Deadpan Snarker: He snarks at Sandalphon and company the entire battle in "000" without a hitch.
• Decomposite Character: While he deviates quite a bit in terms of backstory and characterization, Lucilius takes visual cues from Rage of Bahamut's Voidwing Lucifer and is meant to represent the Lucifer who rebelled against God. In terms of characterization, he shares some things in common with Rage of Bahamut Lucifer, such as wanting to destroy the world to spite God, though their reasons for doing so are different. Rage of Bahamut Lucifer's motivations turn out to be far more sympathetic, as a curse placed on him fueled his evilness as did his "God" not being such a good person after all, as she used him to further her own ideals of justice and framed an innocent child to trick him into killing the boy. Lucilius, on the other hand, simply wants to prove his existence to God, whose existence he feels inhibits the free will of everyone that inhabits it's world. In other words, Lucilius' goals are far more petty.
• Dub Name Change: From an alternate spelling of "Lucifer" (ルシファ) in Japanese to "Lucilius" in the translation, due to Lucifer already being taken by the Supreme Primarch. "Lucilius" has since then been accepted as the official spelling of his name if written in English by Word of God, despite it not matching how his name is pronounced or written in Japanese.
• Even Evil Can Be Loved: While his feelings for Lucifer are on the ambiguous side, Lucifer, on the other hand, genuinely cared for him and considered him a dear friend, even continuing to refer to him as "friend" long after being forced to kill him. Belial also holds romantic feelings for him, though it's less wholesome as it's implied that he values Lucilius' for his darkness.
• Evil Costume Switch: Technically for him and for Lucifer, since it’s his body that gets assimilated. Lucilius goes from wearing mostly white robes, signifying his Light Is Not Good nature, to wearing full on black and red after being resurrected in Lucifer’s body.
• Evil Counterpart: To both Lucifer and Lucio. Not only do all three of them look the same, but they have they differing motivations. Lucifer and Lucio remain on the side of good, wanting to see humanity progress in peace, while Lucilius wants to bring everything down to spite God, who's existence he feels inhibits free will. Lucilius is particularly in opposition to Lucio, who strongly believes that God created the Sky Realm with good intentions and cannot fathom why Lucilius hates him so deeply.
• Evil Genius: Lucilius is obsessed with the pursuit of knowledge and was one of the Astrals primarily responsible for producing the very first Primal Beasts.
• Evil Is Petty: As summed up by Cagliostro, he wants to give the Omnipotent the middle finger by destroying the world, out of both curiosity and subconscious realization he's a clone. There's also his reaction to finding out he's a clone: absorbing the person he was cloned from into Lucifer's core to "perfect" himself.
• Evil Sounds Deep: He has the deepest voice of the Lucifer-faces, even deeper than Rage of Bahamut Lucifer's himself after his ressurection.
• Expository Pronoun: He's the only one of the Lucifer-lookalikes to use the pronoun "Ore", something not even the Lucifer from Rage of Bahamut used. That said, he used to use the pronoun "Watashi" like the others before his ressurrection.
• Expy: Like Lucifer and Lucio before the reveal of Helel ben Sahar, he is this of Rage of Bahamut character Lucifer and embodies the aspect of him who wanted to spite God by destroying the world. Beyond that motivation, their design similarities and their voice actors, they're entirely different characters.
• Eye Beams: One of his default raid attacks is him shooting purple beams of light from his eyes at the cteam.
• Fashionable Asymmetry: For starters in his reborn appearance, the armor on his arms have irregular designs and patterns, then it extends to his body. The red cloth on his waist is also slanted to cover more of his right leg.
• Final Boss: Of "What Makes The Sky Blue III: 000"'s story.
• God in Human Form: While simply an Astral with vast knowledge before, he becomes something of a god after being given Lucifer's body and absorbing power into Lucifer's core. Even his blood is described as ichor.
• Good Wings, Evil Wings: After absorbing Lucio/Sahar into Lucifer's core to perfect himself, he gains 12 pitch-black wings, imitating the look of the fallen angels despite not being one himself. This is in contrast to the other non-fallen angel Primarchs who all have vibrant wings (Save for Sandalphon's who's wings are brown) and Lucifer, who's white wings have a pink glow to them at full power.
• Go Out with a Smile: According Belial's raid story, Lucilius was smiling as he died from being decapitated by Lucifer. Belial immediately figures out that it was Lucifers doing, as he believes that only he could make Lucilius smile like that.
• Hated by All: Belial and Lucifer aside, no one who has ever met Lucilius has anything remotely positive to say about him, outright calling him an irredeemable monster.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: His plan after getting freed from his imprisonment in Versus Rising involves creating his own pocket dimension, Point Zero, where the normal laws of causality do not apply just so he can kill the Singularities there. The sudden appearance of Versusia, however, results in his own dimension becoming a prison for him once again at the mercy of a divine guardian whose sole purpose is to erase him and other "irregularities" who are deemed as threats to the Skyrealm.
• Hypocrite: Zig-zagged. Most of the criticisms he flings at Sandalphon during their final confrontation can be applied to himself, such as when he calls Sandalphon out on being a "narcissistic mass of spare parts" when nearly his entire being post resurrection is borrowed parts; his body from half his neck down is Lucifer's, Lucifer's core hosts all of the power he uses during his final confrontation, none of which is Lucilius' own as it's implied that remnants of Lucifer's power remained in his core and Lucilius later absorbed Sahar to perfect himself, with Sahar's power ontop of the remnants of Lucifer's power leading to his ascenscion to God status. The wings he gains aren't his own either, being a dark combination of "Lucio's" six and Lucifer's six. It's zig-zagged, however, as he has enough self-awareness to acknowledge that he was given Lucifer's body and treats the wings as a separate entity from himself^*He muses that they're no longer useless when they're destroyed in battle. He also mentions Lucifer when he uses "Paradise Lost" ^*"Are you watching Lucifer?" and "I'll be using your power.".
• I Just Want to Be Free: An extremely dark variant. Lucilius wishes to be free of the Omnipotent's vision for the world, and will go to any lengths to usurp God, purely out of petty spite for being a slave to causality and beaneath someone else who isn't himself. He is more than willing to destroy the skies and all its inhabitants, seeing them as mere puppets incapable of true free will.
• It's All About Me: Post-resurrecton, Lucilius cares about no one and nothing but himself and his grand plan of world destruction. There was a time when he did care somewhat about his Only Friend Lucifer, but he's dead by the time Lucilius gets revived.
• Ironic Name: His name translates to "Light". As light is most commonly associated with goodness, Lucilius as a character is anything but. Even more ironic considering the fact that all his light aligned creations are unambiguously good.
• Kick Them While They Are Down: Lucilius defeats a gravely injured Beelzebub with a blast that leaves nothing but a crater.
• Hellish Pupils: Though not the case in his original Astral sprite, resurrected Lucilius is depicted with white, diamond-shaped pupils similarly to Lucifer.
• Inconsistent Coloring: While his hair is depicted as the similar kind of stylized-white as Lucifer's, out of game material tends to depict his hair as silver-ish after his ressurrection, as does the Grand Blues! 4koma's.
• Lack of Empathy: Doesn’t seem to care about anything outside of the pursuit of knowledge and taking down God. That said, it’s implied that he had a soft spot for Lucifer.
• Light Is Not Good: His name translates to “Light” and he originally wore predominantly white clothing. Despite this, he was still unambiguously villainous.
• Leitmotif: "Zero", an escalating orchestral theme that details his motivations, asks the very questions he once did and tells you what exactly he'll do if you don't defeat him.
• Meaningful Name: Though the change to his name in English might seem off at first^note  From Lucifer as it would directly be translated to, to “Lucilius”, “Lucilius” is the Latin name that translates to “Light”. Technically a departure from the biblical theme of the characters associated with him’s names, the name fits in with the motif of the two “Lucifer” characters associated with him as their names mean “Light” as well.
• Morality Pet: Lucifer is a downplayed example for him. While it was heavily implied that he had a soft spot for Lucifer, which is reflected in his dialogue and several flashbacks, he still used Lucifer to his own ends and it's unlikely that Lucifer could have deterred him from his original plan to destroy the world.
• My Name Is ???: When he appears in "What Makes the Sky Blue".
• Mythology Gag: For his appearance as a raid boss and in "000", his design takes some visual cues from Voidwing Lucifer of Rage of Bahamut.
• Nay-Theist: One of Lucilius's most prominent characterizations. He hates The Omnipotent to the point that he wants to destroy all of its creation and even snarks with the Speaker of said god trying to justify his actions.
  Lucio: Why do you hate god so deeply?
  Lucilius: Why do you revere him so highly? What is a god, anyhow? It's a label sky dwellers apply to anything they come together to worship...
• Nice, Mean, and In-Between: The mean to Lucio's nice and Lucifer's in-between. He's unambiguously evil without remorse and cares more about destroying the world to spite god above all else. Not even his implied caring for Lucifer was enough to deter him from his original plans.
• Oblivious to Love: He doesn’t appear to be aware of, or perhaps doesn’t care that, Belial holds romantic feelings for him hence why he’s chosen to follow him for so long.
• Off with His Head!: Lucifer beheaded him before the events of the trilogy. However, Lucilius still retains his consciousness in this form, and Belial is able to revive him by stitching Lucilius's head into Lucifer's headless body.
• One-Steve Limit: In the Japanese version, his name is an alternate transliteration of the name "Lucifer" (ルシフアァ) and pronounced similarly. Due to that name being already taken by the supreme primarch Lucifer, who was also meant to be the representative of ''Rage of Bahamut'' Lucifer according to WordOfGod, his name was changed to "Lucilius" in the translation and has since been accepted as the official spelling of his name.
• Omnicidal Maniac: The two millennia plan of Lucilius being mentioned throughout the "What Makes The Sky Blue" trilogy? He wants to destroy all of creation to spite the Creator. His other reason? Sandalphon explains that Lucilius merely wanted to "prove his existence".
  "The only way to defy god is to blot out what he painted upon this canvas – to return his creation to nothingness."
• Our Gods Are Different: Formerly an Astral, and an imperfect, presumably powerless copy of the Speaker of the omnipotent, after being given Lucifer's body and absorbing said Speaker Helel ben Sahar into Lucifer's core, he gains 12-wings and ascends to God status, being unequalled in power until Sandalphon awakens the power of 12-wings to match him.
• Parental Favoritism: Though it’s unclear if he views Lucifer as his child in the same way Lucio does him, he showed clear favoritism toward Lucifer over any of other his creations due to viewing him as his greatest masterpiece. It’s heavily implied that Belial was jealous of Lucifer because of this favoritism, though Belial didn't view Lucilius as a parent and was in love with him. It's complicated.
• Perpetual Molt: Black feathers rain down from the sky during his raid battle.
• Pet the Dog: Perhaps one of Lucilius' only redeeming qualities as a villain is that he seemed to genuinely have some sort of affection or simple favoritism for Lucifer, who he viewed as his greatest masterpiece. In their flashback sequences, their relationship seemed to be on some level of mutual respect with Lucilius being uncharacteristically amicable toward him. He even took notice of the fact that Lucifer had grown attached to Sandalphon and offered to let him keep him as a pet despite otherwise having plans to get rid of him. That didn't stop him from manipulating Lucifer into helping him plot the rebellion against the latters better judgement. After learning about Lucifer's death, he initially brushes it off and seems to not be bothered by it, but later appears to be bitter about having lost his only equal, even claiming that Lucifer dying wasn't part of the plan. He blames Sandalphon, Lucifer's replacement, for having caused him to stray from his path in a very scorned manner. A later story highlights that he easily took his eyes off of Beelzebub to focus on Lucifer upon his visiting, which only added to Beelzebub’s disdain for the latter. As well, according to Belial's perspective on Lucilius' death, Lucilius was smiling after Lucifer killed him, which prompted Belial to say that only Lucifer could make him smile like that. There's also this Valentine's Day return gift art of him smiling fondly while gazing upon Lucifer's feather◊. It's unknown if his affection for Lucifer was because he genuinely cared for him, or if it was based solely on his own narcissism, but these tidbits seem to suggest that there was some genuine affection there.
• Plot Hole: The only reason he had 12 wings in the first place was because absorbing Lucio/Sahar gave him more. Despite the fact that Sahar has left Lucifer's core, he still has 12 wings in Versus.
• Polar Opposite Twins: Initially seemed like this to Lucifer due to uncompromisingly cold nature, he’s more this to Lucio, who he is a direct clone of.
• Posthumous Character: Lucifer killed them long in the past to protect the world. It doesn’t last.
• Power Echoes: Similarly to Lucifer and eventually Sandalphon, when his God-like powers are activated, he’s given a notable reverb on his voice.
• Power Gives You Wings: Similarly to the primarchs and because he's using Lucifer's body, his wings are the primary source of his power. A big gimmick of his raids is targeting and destroying his wings before attacking his main body in order to weaken him.
• Rage Against the Heavens: Created Avatar to destroy the world in order to spite the Creator (which Cagliostro later summarizes as "flip god the bird"), as he believes life is forced to conform to its whim.
  "Better nothing...than lesser to gods."
• Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: His raid boss has a whole host of triggers and debuss that are references to biblical terms such as "Sephiroth", "Ficus", "Malus" (the latin word for "apple"), "Axiom", "Iblis", and "Phosphorus", "gopherwood ark" (The wood Noah's ark was built with), "Fruit of Life" (Reference to the Forbidden Fruit), "Atheism", "Evangelist's Blade, Wings of "The Word", and Seven Trumpets. His raid is called "Dark Rapture". A staple of his Impossible (Hard) raid is the 12 Labors, the names serving as a reference to the 12 labors Hercules endured in order to atone for the guilt of murdering his wife and child and to ascend to godhood once absolved.
• Reused Character Design: As a raid boss, his design takes visual cues from Lucifer the Voidwing from Rage of Bahamut, though there are some differences; Lucilius has more wings (Twelve vs Voidwing's six), no horns, silver hair (Fallen Lucifer is depicted with blonde hair almost exclusively except for the non-canon Anime adaptation of the game), the placement of the growths on their bodies (Lucilius has less, evoking the image of a Walking Shirtless Scene), prominent neck scars, and all of Lucilius' wings being black without a single set of white ones ^note Fallen Lucifer is always depicted as having more white wings than black ones, all but one of his post-fall cards depicting him as having 2 sets of white wings and one set of black ones. this is consistent with his Puchi Chara appearance as well. Voidwing Lucifer differs in that his two black wings are red instead. .
• Riddle for the Ages: Three from The Reveal in "000". From a real world perspective, all of these can likely be answered by saying "There needed to be a Lucifer in the setting and someone needed to represent Lucifer after he fell to the darkside since the actual Lucifer wouldn't and this is a way to do it" but from a story perspective, it's quickly glossed over and never explained in full detail:
  • Why did Lucilius create Lucifer with sentience if he was subconsciously created to "complete" him? While Lucilius wasn't fully aware of the reason he created Lucifer, he knew enough of the purpose to create Lucifer in his own image and with Lucio/Sahar's power, so why give him a mind and will of his own instead of creating him to be a mindless puppet to one day use? Certainly, it would make it harder for Lucilius to claim the body if he ever decided he wanted to.
  • While we know Lucilius never intended for Lucifer to die, how exactly would Lucilius complete himself using Lucifer's body in a scenario in which he did intend to? Lucifer is a primal beast that's unkillable by any normal means, and strong enough to ward off any enemies that could attempt to strike him down. In fact, the only reason he died in the first place was because he allowed himself to be a sacrifice to protect Sandalphon. Lucilius gaining Lucifer's body was almost entirely contrived in the grand scheme of things, as that exact set of events from when Lucifer initially killed him up to Lucifer's own death at the hands of Beelzebub had to play out for Lucilius to gain Lucifer's body in the end. In any other scenario, it wouldn't have worked out unless Lucifer was for some reason suicidal.
  • Also, how is Lucilius' body compatible with Lucifer's? While we know Astrals can absorb primal cores into themselves to become more powerful (or at least Beelzebub figured out how to), and that Astrals can become primals through unknown means (presumably through experimentation by other Astrals), there was no indication that Lucilius altered his own body in any way to make it compatible with Lucifer's nor does it seem likely that Lucilius, a genius Astral, would subconsciously program an obvious design flaw into his masterpiece that would make it so in his dead body could be co-opted by an Astral using only the head. Or any Astral for that matter, since primals were created to do their bidding.
• Satanic Archetype: As the primal beast Lucifer was meant to represent Lucifer/Satan before his fall, Lucilius represents the fallen angel Lucifer, or at least the closest Granblue Fantasy can get to that in this setting due to not being a proper fallen angel himself. He still checks some of the other boxes; rebelling against God because he doesn't like how he runs things, leading the fallen angels (For now only Belial and Sariel, though Olivia is also stated to be on his side), having power of the Dark element and becoming the God of Evil for a time after absorbing the Speakers powers into Lucifer's core.
• Scary Stitches: As of "What Makes The Sky Blue III: 000", there are stitch marks on the neck of the newly-revived Lucilius, since it is his preserved head attached to Lucifer's stolen body.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: Becomes this at the end of What Makes The Sky Blue III: 000, being trapped in a void alongside Belial. He gets let out in Versus Rising, only to be sealed again, this time with a jailer to keep him there.
• Shoot the Medic First: Lucilius tries to attack Io while she is healing the others, fortunately, Rosetta made her dodge out of the way.
• Shout-Out: Same as Lucifer, his charge attack is called "Paradise Lost", a reference to the John Milton epic poem about Satan of the same name.
• Small Role, Big Impact: He only appears once in "What Makes the Sky Blue," but he's indirectly responsible for Sandalphon's rampage due to revealing to Lucifer that Sandalphon's only purpose was to be a backup for Lucifer. In "What Makes the Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost", Beelzebub and Belial kill Lucifer to unlock Lucilius' legacy, Avatar, and are quite intent on continuing Lucilius' plans to destroy the world.
• The Sociopath: Cold, caulclating, and utterly heartless, Lucilius doesn't give a damn about anyone or anything except himself and his scientific pursuits towards destroying the world and recreating it in his own image. To him, all other life forms are either pawns or pests, the "false" world of the Omnipotent that he despises so much is his own personal labaoratory to experiment with and change irrevocably as he pleases, and the concepts and labels that such "mere mortals" come up with to try and justify themselves are meaningless before him. Even love and camaraderie are things that are beyond his compreehnsion, as he sees no value in them. He is so heartless and unempathetic towards all of existence that the entire cast sans Belial and Lucifer outright call him a monster and evil incarnate.
• Sore Loser: He sulks after Sandalphon defeats him and foils his plan(s). One of Belial's summon lines implies that he's still sulking in the other dimension.
• Straw Nihilist: A variant. He believes that there is no such thing as free will due to the existence of the Omnipotent, and therefore nothing really matters because reality will simply correct itself to fall in line with God's vision for it, which is why he wants to destroy the world and recreate it in his own image.
• Tsundere: A variant. Claims to not care about Lucifer’s death when initially informed about it and does not initially grieve him, but is notably shown to be annoyed and bitter toward Sandalphon,Lucifer’s replacement, due to his idea that Sandalphon caused Lucifer to fail. He notably taunts Sandalphon and laments the fact that he no longer has anyone to stand as his equal now that Lucifer is gone. He also makes an interesting expression when he initially mistakes Lucio for Lucifer.
  Lucilius: Are you watching, Lucifer?
• Tomato in the Mirror: Lucilius is the clone of Lucio. Upon realizing this, he jumps to the logical conclusion of absorbing Lucio into Lucifer's core in order to "perfect" himself.
• Villainous Legacy: Even though Lucifer kills him to stop him from using Avatar, Lucilius tells him that those who know of it will continue his plans. He is proven right.
• Villain Respect: Still regards Lucifer as his greatest masterpiece even after his death. He even goes as far as saying Lucifer was his only equal, despite Sandalphon, who acts as his replacement, being present, and his having previously absorbed Helel ben Sahar, who should be on the same power level.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: After being brought back, evoking the image of Voidwing Lucifer as seen in Rage of Bahamut.
• Walking Spoiler: He is the creator of various Primals and had them rebel to use their cores as part of his plan to become closer to the Creator. Lucifer subsequently kills him, with Beelzebub and Belial intent on retrieving what he left behind.
• Was Once a Man: Downplayed Trope. He was originally an Astral researcher, known for his intellect before he hatched a plan to use his creations to aid in the destruction of the Sky Realm. Post-ressurection he is a half-Astral, half-primal due to having his head sown onto Lucifer's body. As well, one of his raid boss designs is him turning into a mass of blue flames.
• We Used to Be Friends: He used to have a somewhat warm relationship with Lucifer, who referred to him as his "friend" without prompting. Lucilius in turn viewed Lucifer as his equal, and they worked together closely when creating the other primarchs. This all came crumbling down when Lucifer finally became aware of Lucilius' plan during the rebellion and killed him to put a stop to it. Even after this, it would appear that they still view each other quite highly, as Lucifer still refered to Lucilius as "friend" long after his death, while Lucilius lamented the loss of his equal after learning of Lucifer's death in "000" and said that Lucifer was the only one worthy of being considered that. There's also the fact that Lucilius smiled after Lucifer killed him, as if he was happy to die by Lucifer's hand.
• White Hair, Black Heart: Unlike the other two beings who share his likeness and are for the most part benevolent, Lucilius is unambiguously and uncompromisingly evil. Also interestingly, in official works outside of the game, his hair color is depicted as more of a silvery-white or gray despite having the same hair color as Lucio initially.
• The Worf Effect: Played With. It was no easy task taking him down, as it took the combined efforts of Sandalphon, the protagonist and Lyria to wear him down, though Sandalphon pulled most of the weight with the supreme primarch and tetra-element powers in tow. That said, a later Scripted Battle featuring Lucifer would suggest that Sandalphon wasn't using his full power when wearing down Lucilius, as Lucifer is depicted as being far stronger than Sandalphon in Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies, possibly putting this trope into play depending on one is meant to interpret the power-gap.
• World's Strongest Man: Sandalphon describes the twelve-winged Lucilius, after absorbing The Speaker and other powers into Lucifer’s core, as possibly the strongest creature in all of creation, at least until Sandalphon unlocked his own powers to match him. This is further evoked with his raid battle, as it is described to be even harder than Ultimate Bahamut's raid (until they implemented Super Ultimate Bahamut), and is one of the single most difficult raid battle in the entire game, Impossible Rapture. The lyrics for his boss theme convey it quite well.
  Give praise, for he has no equal. Worship him, a god has been born unto the world.
  What is a God? Omnipotence given form.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In the flashback sequences, after seeing that Lucifer exceeded his expectations and didn't need a backup to fill in for him, he planned to dispose of Sandalphon due to feeling he no longer had any usage. Fortunately for Sandalphon, Lucilius took notice of the fact that Lucifer had grown attached to him and offered to let Lucifer keep him as a pet. Unfortunately for Lucifer, Sandalphon had overheard their conversation and began his Start of Darkness.

Fate Episode Antagonists

Covers antagonists that initially appear on some characters' Fate Episodes without actually being involved in larger story events. For those who serve as antagonists for story and collaboration events, see Granblue Fantasy Event Antagonists.

True Dragon Medb

One of the True Dragons alongside Diedre, Drug, Fafnir, and Skadi. She only appears in the 5★ Fate Episode of Scathacha.

---

• Brainwashed and Crazy: True Dragon Medb can use the Curse of Intoxication to control others, usually making monsters go berserk.
• Evil Is Petty: She has her dragonkin lead assaults against mortals because of the "disgrace" her fellow True Dragons have shown by living with, being killed by, or loving humans. Making her inferior by proxy.
• Not in the Face!: Medb panicks and retreats as soon as Scathacha injured her "beautiful" face.
• Paint It Black: She's a black dragon, just like Skadi.
• Smug Snake: She's incredibly arrogant and haughty, motivated by her narcissism and superiority over mortals. Once she faces Scathacha in her mortal form and Naoise, however, she is quickly defeated and humiliated.
• Unique Enemy: Even though Medb has a customized appearance and unique attacks, she only appears on Scathacha's final Fate Episode, at least until the "Dragonblood War" event.

Hakuya

Palespine

A mystical woman who is introduced in the 5★ Fate Episode of Andira.

---

• Agree to Disagree: Tries to convince Andira in this manner word-for-word, just as Hakuya explains that the Divine General's lifeblood can grant her immortality.
• Ascended Extra: Originally a Unique Enemy only fought in Andira's episode, she re-appears as a boss in her Palespine form during the June 2019 Proving Grounds event.
• An Ice Person: While she already looks like a yuki-onna, Hakuya also uses ice abilities in her boss fight.
• Dub Name Change: The English translation labels her true name as Palespine, while the Japanese audio mentions Hakutso.
• Immortality Seeker: Hakuya can use the blood of her captives to extend her lifespan. She thinks that Andira's blood can definitely give her the immortality she needed.
• One-Winged Angel: When her true intentions are revealed, Hakuya undergoes a slight change in appearance, while also revealing her real identity as Palespine.
• Scripted Battle: She always starts her boss fight with a powerful Non-Elemental attack, taking out a huge chunk of the Captain and Andira's HP. Fortunately, Andira has a skill that restores both of them to full health.
• Taking You with Me: A defeated Hakuya / Palespine tries to trap Lyria and Vyrn in her black mist, but Andira pushes them and gets engulfed herself.

Hagen

^{Click here to see Hagen in the "SIEGFRIED" event}

A necromancer who wanders around the royal capital of Feendrache introduced in Siegfried's 5★ Fate Episode.

Enigmatic Researcher

A scientist the crew encounters in one of Ferry's fate episodes. He put up the crew's assignment to catch some bandits that stole his research equipment, but it turns out that he actually hired those very same bandits as a diversion so that he could capture Ferry's pets in the meantime.

---

• Aborted Arc: He is part of a larger organization that has access to Astral technology and has apparently been shadowing the crew since they left the mist-shrouded island. Also, he gets away at the end of the episode with his objective unfulfilled, yet neither he nor the organization have appeared again in half a decade.
• For Science!: He says that his attempts to make an immortality serum are merely for the sake of scientific progress. He doesn't mind if doing so causes a few casualties.
• Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: He isn't fought directly. Instead the party has to face an imitation of the Adversa weapon in a random cave somewhere in a forest.
• Hypocrite: He calls Ferry and her pets an affront to the natural order, even though he's trying to become essentially the same thing.
• Immortality Seeker: Not just for himself, but for his entire organization and possibly skydwellers in general.
• Shut Up, Hannibal!: Ferry tries to shut him up, but he keeps talking about his motives anyway.

Kokabiel

Cerberus' original master who treated her badly when she was in her care. She is credited with being responsible for research behind primal beast creation but was looked down upon due to not producing any noteworthy results.

---

• Ambiguous Situation: She was resealed in Pandemonium by Cerberus as of her 5* fate episode. However, Pandemonium was destroyed in Tower of Babyl, leaving it up in the air whether she escaped or was destroyed along with it.
• Freudian Excuse: She was looked down upon by other researchers which is used to explain her condescending behavior.
• Karma Houdini: After the cruel experiments she performed on primals as well as her nasty treatment of Cerberus, she got off pretty lightly, merely being resealed in Pandemonium by Cerberus which was how the player was introduced to her in the first place. That said, assuming she was obliterated along with Pandemonium in Tower of Babyl, her karma may have been dealt offscreen.
• Hair Wings: She has wings in her hair, similarly to the other primarchs.
• Hate Sink: She is introduced as a cruel woman who has self-esteem issues, treats her underlings horribly, and merged captive primal beasts in an effort to the most powerful primal beast to prove those who doubted her wrong, forcing Cerberus to help her. She also planned to experiment on the protagonist, Vyrn, and Lyria. Needless to say, the fate episode doesn't try to make you sympathize with her.
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: She treats others horribly because she was looked down upon by the researchers.
• Non-Action Big Bad: Doesn't appear to be capable of fighting on her own, and instead relies Cerberus' copies to do her dirty work.
• Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: She is named after the fallen angel Kokabiel from the Book of Enoch.
• Remember the New Guy?: Joins the trend of archangels being introduced without being mentioned anywhere else in the "What Makes The Sky Blue" storyline, though she stands out as the only original fallen angel introduced through a fate episode and the only one that hasn't had any onscreen interactions with the other preexisting archangels.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: She was initially sealed in Pandemonium as a punishment for her abusing her status as a warden to experiment. Cerberus reseals her at the end of her 5* fate episode, and it's implied that she was destroyed with Pandemonium during Tower of Babyl's storyline.
• Uncertain Doom: She was sealed in Pandemonium by Cerberus, which was later destroyed by Helel ben Shahar and Shalem. It's unknown if she was destroyed along with it, with the remnants of her core being absorbed into Beelzebub, or if she managed to escape.
• Villain Holds the Leash: Unlike the previously introduced fallen angels who are all stated to be extremely powerful in their own right, she's not much of a threat on her own, instead using Cerberus' other halves to control those around her. Once they rejoin with Cerberus, she's useless and can only weakly command Cerberus to stand down as she approaches her.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: Introduced in Cerberus' 5* fate episode to antagonize her and her clones. Rather than posing as a looming threat to Cerberus or any of the other remaining archangels, she's promptly resealed in Pandemonium and is presumably killed offscreen after Pandemonium is destroyed in Tower of Babyl.
