Scarlet

^{Click to see her in season 3} 

The main character. A young woman who mysteriously died and woke up in hell. In order to avoid being sent to the 9th circle for all eternity, she becomes a grim reaper, killing one sinner per day.

---

• Action Girl: She is very good at using her scythe... however, as badass as she is, she’s still a new reaper and lacks experience.
• Alone with the Psycho: Unknowingly, with Jordan, the first sinner. He seems normal, but is actually a serial killer. The two quickly switch places when Scarlet literally cuts him in half in a dark alley.
• Always Save the Girl: Or guy. Pre and post amnesia, she has shown herself to be willing to sacrifice the rest of the world if necessary to protect the one person she cares about, her mother pre-amnesia, and Chase post-amnesia. Even if the people in question wouldn't have wanted to have been saved at that kind of cost, as Brooke points out. It's the reason Judah calls her the most selfish person he has ever met.
• Animal Motifs: Scarlet is associated with cats, with Chase even having an Imagine Spot of her as a Cat Girl once. In season 3 it's revealed that her demon takes the form of a wolf.
• Anti-Hero: She has definitely sent people to Hell who only kinda deserved it, and killed many who definitely did not deserve it on her demonic rampages, but she also seeks to cleanse the world of excessive corruption and save her soul.
• Apologetic Attacker: She apologizes to her first victim before killing him.
• Audience Surrogate: She's at the end of Satan's long explanations, since she's completely new to the world of Hell and reapers.
• Bad Liar: It's kind of a miracle she hasn't been found out yet. From her name being a Line-of-Sight Alias to her lying about always smelling blood. It helps that Chase is Obfuscating Stupidity, which is probably the reason why. Later when Chase wants her to attend a meeting while disguised as someone else, she points out she is really bad at lying as an obvious flaw to his plan.
• Becoming the Mask: Although she initially only saw Chase as a means to uncover her past and was more than willing to kill him, she slowly begins to develop a genuine friendship with him, up to taking a bullet for him and telling him she's a grim reaper.
• Brains and Brawn: Seems to be the Brawn to Chase's Brains.
• Broken Bird: By episode 78, her long time trapped in the 9th circle, utterly alone except for her mind, has left her severely emotionally scarred — among other things, she develops a chronic fear of loneliness.
• Bullying a Dragon: In episode 41, Brook faces the repercussions of this the hard way, after he basically mocks and provokes her demon side into coming out, which she has no control over, leading to her ripping him apart, killing an alleyway of non-sinners, and nearly killing Chase.
• Cannibalism Super Power: Took a page out of Ashe's book during their fight at the end of Season 3 to try and depower him. While it didn't work due to the strength of the demons he possessed, it became a useful ability in hunting smaller demons in Season 4.
• Can't Kill You, Still Need You: How she viewed Chase in the beginning. For her, he was a way to uncover her past and find a steady stream of sinners, but if he found out too much she was more than willing to kill him. They eventually do become genuine friends, especially once they team up to kill sinners.
• Comically Missing the Point: When Scarlet and Chase deny Brook staying with them, he states it's because they want to be alone to "Dance the Devil's Tango". After Chase silents him when he was about to claim Chase was in love with Scarlet, all Scarlet replies with is if she will need to learn how to dance and doesn't want to.
  Chase: (Beat) You got lucky, rabbit.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: She is on the receiving end from Brook. He even manages to tear off her arm and leg.
• Cute Little Fangs: Scarlet gets these after becoming a grim reaper. She doesn't find them cute, but Chase does in his own way.
• Dark Action Girl: Her walking the lines between anti-hero and anti-villain make her this. After all, she is a grim reaper.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Whatever her mysterious past was, it involved a daily supply of literal human hearts from organ thieves and surgical skills. In season 3, we also learn how she got her distinctive scar: Judah carved it into her face with a scalpel to mark her as "his". The extent of her story is eventually revealed in season three. Her Start of Darkness began when her loving mother was dying of an illness, and Judah gave her the idea to release the Scarlet Rot for the money she'd gain doing so. Her mother ended up dying anyways, and she ended up contracting the virus herself.
• Deadpan Snarker: Boy oh boy, is she. Most of her insults and comments are delivered with a cold and/or dry demeanor.
• Defiant to the End: Her answer to Satan’s Sadistic Choice at the end of season 2? Refuse to kill Chase and be at peace with being sent back to the 9th level, declaring herself a wolf who chooses her own path, and this time, she has chosen to be free.
• Despair Event Horizon: Hits this in episode 123 after she seemingly kills Judah, but not before he succeeded in burning down her childhood home and her mother's photographs. She even seems to seriously consider letting herself get burned into nothing, until Chase barges in and carries her out.
• Determinator: She has shades of this, like when she kills a sinner shortly after getting her arm and leg ripped off. Justified, since she has to kill a sinner every day, no matter what.
• Distinguishing Mark: She has a distinct X-shaped scar on her mouth.
• The Dog Bites Back:
  • After two seasons of dealing with Satan, Scarlet finally has enough after she reaps Liam and he doesn’t put him in the same circle as Ana. Satan putting her in a Pimped-Out Dress and taunting her even more is the final blow. It leads to her and her demon finally joining forces without it overpowering her and her landing a visible blow on Satan. Of course, he manages to trick her afterwards and gives her a Sadistic Choice.
  • This happens again in episode 123 in regards to Judah. After he sets her childhood home on fire, Scarlet finally seemingly kills him by stabbing him repeatedly with scissors, ensuring she kills him as a human rather than a reaper.
• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: While calling Scarlet “bad” is a stretch, this certainly applies to Ante/Yue.It’s revealed that her reason for releasing the Scarlet Rot to the world was the money she’d make that she’d use to save her dying mother.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: After spending 25 years in the 9th Circle, Scarlet's bob is now a floor-length hairdo. It reflects her having changed into having a usually more calm, quiet nature.
• Eye Color Change: Before becoming a reaper, Scarlet's eyes are a very human shade of dark brown/black. After becoming a reaper, they permanently turn bright red.
• Female Fighter, Male Handler: Played with. Scarlet takes out sinners, while Chase narrows down which sinners deserve to die, although he says the choice is ultimately hers.
• Forced into Evil: She's only a grim reaper to avoid being sent into the 9th circle of hell for all eternity.
• Ghost Amnesia: She wakes up in hell with no recollection of who she was. Strangely enough, no other sinners seem to have this problem. Satan claims that she did it to herself. It's eventually revealed that the source of her amnesia was the Scarlet Rot she contracted targeting her brain.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: When one of Scarlet’s eyes glow red, it’s a sign she’s about to reap a sinner.
• Hellish Pupils: She has slit pupils, occasionally making her look cat-like.
• Hope Bringer: Chase admits seeing Scarlet’s scar brought him hope for solving Case X and becoming a detective again. Ultimately, through her he eventually finds a purpose again.
• Horned Humanoid: Her horns are not intrinsic to being a reaper, but they are part of the look Satan gave her. Her horns grow when she invokes the power of her demon, and vanish if she is somehow Brought Down to Normal.
• I Hate Past Me: Downplayed. Scarlet thinks of Ante Nora as a completely different person, and is mostly indifferent towards her. She mostly wants to know more about her to understand why she was sentenced to the ninth level.
• Idiot Hair: She has one, and while she isn't stupid, per se, she is noted to be a little dense at times, especially when it comes to people.
• I Have to Go Iron My Dog: While Chase is still recovering from being stabbed, at one point he starts talking about a soup he had as a kid and how much he would like it again. Scarlet immediately starts putting her shoes on and when asked what she’s doing she says she has to go check what color the sky is. (Given Graveweaver's artstyle and use of Mood Lighting, you could be forgiven for thinking that's a legitimate question.)
• Identical Stranger: Played with. She looks like the woman from Case X, down to the scar on her mouth, because she's the woman from Case X.
• In the Hood: She wears one to hide her horns.
• Innocent Fan Service Girl: When she removes her shirt to reveal her stitches, she assumes Chase is flustered because of her scars rather than her half-naked body.
• It's All About Me: According to Judah, Ante has only ever cared about herself and maybe one other person. He doubts that Scarlet is any different.
  • Ultimately, although her reasons for releasing the Scarlet Rot into the world are sympathetic (getting money to save her dying mother) it's hard to deny that she was willing to sacrifice who knows how many people for one person.
  • Likewise, she is more than willing to consign the rest of humanity to an eternity of suffering to prolong Chase's life, even if his end will be soon and inevitable, regardless of her choice. She tries to rationalize it by saying that she somehow knows that reality isn't actually about to end. Her demon, Barghest, hints that she's technically right, but she would have made the same choice no matter what the actual consequences would have been. While Barghest found her Ninth Circle sentence suspicious at first, now Barghest knows that her sentence was fully earned.
• Karmic Death: The sin that damned her to the 9th Circle also ended up causing her death. Scarlet released an extremely deadly virus across the world, most likely as part of a Poison and Cure Gambit. She was ultimately Hoist by Her Own Petard and ended up dying to that very same disease.
• Like Brother and Sister: Eventually develops this dynamic with Brook. While they often argue with each other, after all that Judah does to him, he ends up breaking down and asking Scarlet for a hug, which she gives him, showing that deep down, they care a lot about each other.
• Major Injury Underreaction: Since her body isn't technically "real", she doesn't usually experience pain in the human world, as shown when her arm and leg gets torn off.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Has such a moment when she snaps out of her demon state to find out that not only did she massacre an entire alleyway of non-sinners, she stabbed Chase.
• Nightmare Face: She has a demon inside her that, when she begins to lose control, starts to come out and overwhelm her.
• One-Man Army: Played with. Scarlet can slice through humans with ease, but against a grim reaper with more experience or Satan, she doesn't have much of a chance at winning. Her demon form on the other hand...
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Scarlet isn't her real name, and she doesn't remember her true one. Her real name is eventually stated to be Ante Nora, but it's later revealed that this also isn't her real name. Her actual real name is Yue Jiang.
• Organ Theft: Implied to be one element of the crime that got her sentenced to the 9th Circle. Chase believes that her previous identity and someone she was close to had a disease called Scarlet Rot, which basically rots the body from the inside. They used stolen organs to perform surgeries on one another to replace the damaged organs. However, people who have done similar things didn't get sent anywhere close to the 9th Circle, so Scarlet believes that there's still more to the story. Ultimately, her organ theft is not the reason she was sent to the 9th Circle, and it's also revealed she stitched herself up alone.
• Pimped-Out Dress: Satan, being as petty as he is, changes Scarlet's usual reaper outfit into a decadent and somewhat revealing dress before they fight at the end of season two.
• Pint Sized Power House: She's only 5'3 but is very formidable.
• Poison and Cure Gambit: The sin that damned Scarlet to the 9th Circle. Scarlet did research on an extremely deadly virus called Scarlet Rot and released it on the world. While Judah is an Unreliable Expositor, if what he says is true, the Hospital paid her massive amounts of money to come up with a cure. She did nothing to find a cure, instead taking that money and running off with it.
  • Although if the video of Ante/Yue is to be believed, she did create a cure, but who knows where it is.
• Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: She's very pale, with jet-black hair.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Scarlet's irises are bright red ordinarily, and one of them tends to glow when she summons her weapon.
• Sadistic Choice:
  • Satan gives her one at the end of season two. Seeing how much she cares about Chase and wanting to torment her, he tells her that she must either kill Chase by midnight that night, or be sent back to the ninth circle forever.
  • In season 3, after Judah melts Brook into nothing besides his hand, she has to choose between killing the easiest sinner there is (a woman who was Ante/Yue's childhood friend) to save Brook, or try to find another sinner to kill. In the end, she uses both her own hands and Brook's hand to kill her together to save him.
• Scarf of Asskicking: Wears a scarf, and is a grim reaper who can kill pretty easily.
• Scars Are Forever: She is relatively unmarked on her death, except for a small scar on her mouth. Later, she finds out she has scars all over her chest and stomach.
• Self Stitching: It's revealed all of the scars on her body were made by herself stitching her own wounds.
• Sinister Scythe: This is her weapon of choice, befitting a grim reaper.
• Smoking Is Cool: Took up smoking in season 4.
• The Smurfette Principle: Is the only female grim reaper, however, there was another female grim reaper before her, who Satan disposed of after she failed to meet her quota.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She can seem cold and consistently makes it clear to herself that she is only using Chase to find out about her past. This doesn't stop her from taking a bullet meant for Chase.
• Took a Level in Badass: Brook finds this out, to his displeasure, that after over a month of being a reaper and finding a link to her humanity in Chase, Scarlet has become considerably stronger, although she still barely has control over her demon. Because of these reasons he’s determined to take her out and send her back to hell, at least until her demon form rips him to shreds. Then he resolves to fix her anger problems so she doesn't lose control of her reaper, especially around him.
  • She takes another major level by the season finale, when Satan angers her to such an extent that she almost lets her demon take over again...before managing to gain what seems to be complete control over it and strike him down briefly.
• Trauma-Induced Amnesia: She's been through this twice over, the first time from her Mysterious Past, and the second time from her torture in the 9th Circle.
  • It's eventually revealed that the first example is a subversion. Scarlet/Yue didn't lose her memories due to trauma, rather from the virus she contracted targeting her brain.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: Even though she isn't dating Chase, she does exhibit some of these traits, such as when upon meeting Liam he starts shaking Chase, she bodyslams him to the floor and tells him not to touch him. In general, try to hurt Chase, and it may not end well. This trait only grows more after she was stuck in the 9th Circle for 25 years. She will not tolerate any potential threat to Chase's safety, and nearly kills a man who threatened him with her demon coming out. Only Brook and his demon could stop her.
• With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: When the demon inside her takes over, she easily slaughters Brook but loses all control and attacks indiscriminately.
• "X" Marks the Hero: While calling her a hero is a stretch, her x-shaped scar on her mouth is unique and makes her more noticeable, especially regarding Case X.

Chase

^{Click to see him in season 3} 

A former detective Scarlet meets. He is obsessed with solving a mysterious Case X, and ends up making a deal with Scarlet because of her resemblance to a person of interest.

---

• All According to Plan: Apparently part of Chase’s plan when he and Scarlet go back to the Red Spades to find her file was to meet Brook somehow and talk to him and maybe sway him to their side, which he does after being captured by him after he "fell" for an obvious trap.
• Animal Motifs: Cats. He's got a cat that he loves a lot, and is generally associated with them. In season three, his new outfit even includes a pseudo cat tail.
• The Anti-Nihilist: He admits that even if the world is too broken to be saved, he wants to try to make it a better place anyway.
• Awesomeness by Analysis: He is very analytical and manipulative, able to trick and manipulate others into saying too much.
• Becoming the Mask: Although he at first is only using Scarlet to solve Case X and become a detective again and is more than willing to kill her if need be, he starts to find it harder to do so without feeling guilty. After she takes a bullet for him, he realizes that she has genuinely begun to think of him as a friend, and finally allows himself to think the same.
• Berserk Button: A comedic example; it seems insulting his beloved cat, Lightstalker, in any way, is a surefire way to piss Chase off.
• Beware the Silly Ones: He may seem like an idiot, but remember, he was a detective, and you do not want him angry.
• Brains and Brawn: Seems to be becoming the Brains to Scarlet's Brawn. Once he and Scarlet team up to take out sinners, he even explicitly calls her the brawn to his brains.
• Can't Kill You, Still Need You: How he viewed Scarlet in the beginning. For him, she was a way back onto the police force by being his lead in Case X, but he was also willing to kill her if need be. They eventually do become genuine friends, especially once they team up to kill sinners.
• Cessation of Existence: Using an artifact to briefly borrow the full authority of God sends him to the Ninth Circle of Heaven as the price. If the Ninth Circle is still working the way God intended, then it has presumably erased him out of existence.
• Crazy Jealous Guy: A very very downplayed, implied example. The first time they meet Liam and Scarlet immediately gets along with him, the look on Chase's face could easily be seen as him being jealous, especially when he tells her she shouldn't become close to Liam. Although he does have a good reason for that (Scarlet did kill Ana, whom Liam loved, and he doesn't want an already messy situation to become messier). Although him offering to block Liam's number for her within one panel of Scarlet saying she doesn't want to talk to him anymore because of the guilt does make one wonder...
• The Cynic: Acknowledges that the world is going to hell, and in order to improve has to get his hands dirty by teaming up with Scarlet to kill the worst sinners out there. In stark contrast, his mom wants to make the world a better place within the law, which he finds impossible.
• Deadly Nosebleed: In episode 47, after distracting Scarlet and getting her to leave, we see blood dripping from his nose, and on closer inspection, his mouth. It's all but stated he has some illness that he takes expensive medication for, and this illness seems to be common knowledge as well.
• Death Seeker: Hinted at when Scarlet returns his gun after apologizing for using it. He reveals that there was only one bullet anyway. Later confirmed after Scarlet takes a bullet for him, he admits that the reason there was only one bullet was because he figured "one shot would do it". In general, Chase doesn't seem to have much value in his own life, often casually saying him getting killed is better than an alternative, to Scarlet's displeasure.
• Dissonant Serenity: He seemed awfully calm after beating a man half to death, leaving one of his arms drenched with blood.
• Dodge the Bullet: After Scarlet takes a bullet meant for him, their attacker keeps shooting. Aside from his ear getting grazed, Chase manages to dodge each bullet.
• Driven to Suicide: In episode 79, after losing Scarlet to the 9th circle and finding out from Azrael he has both a sinner's mark and a halo, he attempts suicide to find out whether he'd be sent to heaven or hell, and if what he and Scarlet had been doing to change the world was the right thing.
• Emotions vs. Stoicism: Something he has to deal with. He considers himself very pragmatic and logical, and prioritizes that over emotions and feelings. But after becoming genuine friends with Scarlet, he realizes he needs to open himself up to emotions more again.
• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: While calling him bad is a stretch, Chase truly does love and care for his adopted mother, Veronica. His birth mom is another story…
• Everyone Can See It: It says something when Brook, who has had minimal interactions with Chase, feels bold enough to tease Chase about his relationship with Scarlet, almost even telling him he’s in love to his face...before Chase cuts him off.
• First Friend: To Scarlet. While mutually using each other at first, they become genuine friends later on.
• The Glasses Come Off: In episode 79, he throws his glasses into the ocean in preparation of throwing himself off a cliff, since he's afraid of heights.
• Go Through Me: While Bernadette is attacking Brook and a demonic Scarlet, Chase arrives and runs in front of Scarlet. Bernadette, being unable to see his X, demands he step aside, but when he refuses, she steps back, since she doesn’t want to harm a presumed innocent.
• Guile Hero: While calling him a hero may be a stretch, Chase’s greatest strengths lie in his intelligence and analysis. A prime example is when he manages to see through Brook and understand his true motivations, and convince him to betray the Red Spades.
• Happily Failed Suicide: While trying to attempt suicide by jumping off a cliff, Scarlet catches him, and they reunite.
• Heroic Sacrifice: He uses the Artifact Azrael gives him to temporarily assume the powers of God at the cost of his own life. Since the world is so badly damaged that even God would have trouble fixing it, let alone Chase who has limited time, Chase doesn't even try. He settles for cutting Satan off from Earth, killing the demons that empower reapers, and giving his loved ones a place to live.
• Icy Blue Eyes: Definitely has these on occasion, usually when staring down a sinner.
• Karma Houdini: Downplayed as while he was discharged from being a detective following his shooting a man in cold blood, but him walking free with no jail time since his mom is the chief of police says something. Said man having killed his wife and then trapped his kids in a sinking car just to get off on the murder charge also didn't earn him any sympathy points.
• Kindhearted Cat Lover: Seems to really adore cats.
• Living Emotional Crutch: If being Scarlet’s only link to her humanity doesn’t qualify him as this, what else can?
• Luminescent Blush: He sports a major one after using the trolley problem as a metaphor for how important Scarlet is to him; basically, in any scenario, he'd allow that one person to die while the others live, unless it was her in danger. Then he'd let the others die instead.
• Manipulative Bastard: Yeah. Just as one example, he was able to convince a woman he was also a parent who lost a child in order to get her to trust him. It worked.
• Mood-Swinger: He can go from reaching for his gun when confronting a suspect who killed her son to asking Scarlet if she plays video games in a heartbeat. Even Scarlet internally calls him moody.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: After Scarlet takes a bullet for him and he thinks she's died, he snaps at the would-be killer, tells him that since he killed her, he'll kill him, and nearly succeeds in beating him to death with his bare hands.
• Parental Issues: It appears his biological mother was abusive and because of it he loses his cool very quickly to parents who have hurt their kids.
• Secretly Dying: He seems to have a serious illness that causes him a Deadly Nosebleed if he doesn't take expensive medications. He is keeping this a secret from Scarlet.
• She Is Not My Girlfriend: After Brook not only calls Scarlet Chase’s girlfriend, but even insinuates that they’re sleeping together, Chase turns bright red before saying they don’t have that kind of relationship. And shuts Brook up when he tries to point blank say he can tell he’s in love with her.
• Shirtless Scene: Played for laughs. After Scarlet comes back to his apartment, her demon nearly out of control, the thing that snaps her back to reality is catching Chase changing shirts in an awkward position. He ends up asking her if she saw his nipples.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Chase helps Scarlet kill sinners because he honestly wants to make the world a better place, and thinks getting rid of the worst out there is the best way to go about it.
• Wham Shot: Episode 77 shows Chase through Azrael's eyes, revealing he has both a sinner's mark and a halo of virtue.
• Your Days Are Numbered: He is slowly dying of a disease called "Prehistoric Internal Necrosis". He takes an extremely expensive medicine to slow the process down, but there is no actual cure.

Hell

Satan

The ruler of Hell, and Scarlet's boss. He withholds a lot of information from her.

---

• Bad Boss:
  • Although he does have his moments of explaining things well and even briefly training her, Satan is still...well, Satan, and has a lot of fun at Scarlet's expense, purposefully not telling her important information like there being more than one grim reaper.
  • Extends to Brook as well, although he finds him to be more annoying than anything else.
  • He somehow gets even worse by the end of season two, where he orders Scarlet to either kill Chase by midnight that night or be sent back to the 9th level forever, all because he loves making her miserable and wants more attention.
• Bait-and-Switch: In the season two finale he manages to trick Scarlet into feeling sorry for him by revealing part of his backstory and saying his only purpose is to suffer more than anyone else ever has...before saying he loves seeing people suffer more than anything, especially Scarlet herself.
• Death Seeker: He has implied that getting around his restrictions to kill himself is a form of freedom he would be willing to accept.
• Faux Affably Evil: He may seem like a well-humored, funny guy, but don't forget who he is. He enjoys watching sinners get tortured, and he also enjoys tormenting Scarlet.
• Green-Eyed Monster: He hates it when he isn’t the center of attention. He even point blank says that he’s jealous that Scarlet’s (whom he views as a plaything) attention has been divided, and that’s part of why he gives her her Sadistic Choice.
• Hidden Agenda Villain: Brook suspects this of him for making Reapers in the first place. Noting that Sinners will die on their own so there is no real need for him to make a Reaper.
• Horns of Villainy: Being Satan, he naturally has horns that are modelled off a specific species of goat.
• I Cannot Self-Terminate: One of the restraints God has placed on him is an inability to destroy himself, to ensure he fulfills his purpose in the project to the end.
• I Just Want to Be Free: His ultimate goal is to escape God's restrictions. Preferably, he would escape Hell and be the ultimate being in existence, though he has implied that his own death would be an acceptable compromise.
• It Amused Me: A lot of what he does can be chalked up to this.
• Laughably Evil: He's a monstrous psycho but he's also hilarious. Satan enjoys cracking funny jokes and trolling people even while he's torturing someone.
• Mr. Exposition: He explains a lot about the grim reapers and Hell, since he is her boss. Doesn’t mean he tells her everything though...
• Sadist: He enjoys torturing and breaking people and admits to Scarlet that seeing people suffer is the best thing there is to him. The fact that Brook's pink bunny ears are actually the ribbon his own sister used to kill him also says something, even if Brook himself can't remember.
• Scars Are Forever: The mark Scarlet makes on his chest in the season 2 finale is revealed to have stuck even in season 3, and it is implied that he is choosing not to heal it.
• Stalker with a Crush: Implied. He seems to be a bit obsessed with Scarlet even before she died.
• Teach Him Anger: Whatever Satan has planned for Scarlet, it involves fueling her rage, which is the main reason he wants to kill Chase.
• Time Abyss: Satan is the second oldest being in the universe and was the first being created by God. He is billions of years old.
• Villains Never Lie: While those who know him don't trust him, he claims not to lie, mostly because it would make winning too easy.

Brook

Another grim reaper that Scarlet meets, who works for the Red Spades.

---

• Alice Allusion: He dresses up like a rabbit and has a lot of tattoos of clocks on his body.
• Always Someone Better: Scarlet may be an Action Girl who can take care of sinners easily. But she’s also a new reaper, and so Brook (who is more experienced than she is) beats her in a fight with ease.
• Animal Motifs: His ribbons and mask immediately bring bunnies to mind, down to being called the rabbit reaper.
• Bodyguard Betrayal:
  • He has a deal with the Red Spade’s leader, ensuring each sinner he kills is a bad person while keeping her from harm. However, he finds her to be the absolute worst. So when Chase offers to have him work for him and the leader orders him to kill him, Brook simply tells her that he’s found a better gig, and quits.
  • Episode 73 reveals that Brook had this done to him by his sister and his maid.
• Boom, Headshot!: A non-lethal version. Scarlet shoots him in the head in order to break his mask.
• Broken Face Plate: Happens to him twice. First is when Scarlet shoots him in the head in order to break his mask. The second is during their second fight, when she manages to punch him and actually hurt him a little.
• Cain and Abel: His sister's dislike of him eventually turned murderous in order to prevent him from taking control of the family fur business.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: He utterly wrecks Scarlet during their fight, tearing off an arm and a leg, and proving just how inexperienced as a reaper she really is.
• Deal with the Devil: There's his original deal, where he becomes a grim reaper in order to have a purpose, but also in season 3 he makes a deal with Satan to get Scarlet out of the ninth circle. If he doesn't get one sinner a day, he'll take her place there.
• Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: This is revealed to be be one of his reasons for being a grim reaper. He found purgatory, a place where souls can simply exist, to be incredibly empty. So he walked to hell, hoping to find purpose.
• Prefers Going Barefoot: For some reason is a barefooter.
• Everyone Can See It: States it's extremely obvious Chase has feelings for Scarlet.
• Hellish Pupils: Like Scarlet, he has slit pupils.
• In-Series Nickname: Often called "Rabbit".
• It's All My Fault: In season 3, deep down, Brook feels incredibly guilty for Scarlet being sent back to the 9th level, since he was the one who told Satan about her closeness to Chase in the first place before they’d become friends.
• Killer Rabbit: He wears a cutesy bunny mask and a ribbon tied on his head that resembles bunny ears, but is also absolutely terrifying in a fight.
• Light Is Not Good: Wears white and pink, in contrast to Scarlet's black and red.
• Like Brother and Sister: Eventually develops this dynamic with Scarlet. While they often argue with each other, after all that Judah does to him, he ends up breaking down and asking Scarlet for a hug, which she gives him, showing that deep down, they care a lot about each other.
• Losing Your Head: After triggering Scarlet's demon into coming out, it effectively rips Brook apart, leaving only his head behind.
• Not So Stoic: Usually when he's in tsundere mode. But a more serious example happens in episodes 78 and 79, after he saves Scarlet from the 9th circle and finds out how broken the 25 years of pure isolation have made her. He looks sympathetic and even downright mournful.
• Oh, Crap!: Has such a moment after antagonizing Scarlet to the point her demon goes out of control, and he realizes it’s too strong for him to defeat and she could very well destroy the city.
• Pint Sized Power House: Is even shorter than Scarlet, but is stronger than she is.
• Psycho Pink: Pretty self explanatory.
• Pure Is Not Good: Despite not having a sinner mark, he works for the Red Spades. He reveals he is using them like Scarlet does with Chase, as he knows the leader will always direct him to kill bad people.
• Really 700 Years Old: Is confirmed to be 118, give or take 20 years. He also died when he was 18.
• Real Men Wear Pink: Subverted. His outfit is pink and white and rabbit themed. And then you remember Satan likely chose his clothes for him.
• Security Cling: After Scarlet is able to save him after Judah melted most of his body into acid, he ends up asking her if he can have a hug while shedding Broken Tears. She does.
• Sinister Suffocation: In Episode 73, it's revealed that he died this way at the hands of his sister.
• Stalker without a Crush: At the end of episode six, we catch a glimpse of him taking a photo of Scarlet and Chase's first meeting. Why he was there, possibly following one or both of them, is still unknown. Chapter 34 reveals he's been keeping an eye on Scarlet since she first appeared.
• Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred!: Implied he wanted Chase to attack him for being the reason Satan was aware of him and gave Scarlet a Sadistic Choice. He then started crying when Chase absolves him by stating it wasn't his fault.
• Trust Password: In an interesting variation, after saving Scarlet from the ninth circle, she initially thinks he's just more of her memories playing tricks. Brook convinces her by sharing things that she doesn't know about him.
• Tsundere: Played for laughs AND for drama. While his refusal to admit that he’s friends with and cares for Scarlet and Chase is funny in season 2, it is not in season 3. Satan rubs the fact that he hasn’t been able to connect with anyone for 100 years and even before his death in his face, and his prickly demeanor is a shield against feeling guilty for Scarlet being sent back to the 9th level.
• Walking Spoiler: His existence spoils the fact there are more grim reapers than Scarlet.

Ashe

The first and most powerful of Satan's reapers. His deal is to kill exactly ten sinners a day, no more, no less.

---

• Assimilation Backfire: Eating Wrynn's demon also meant absorbing a copy of her personality. Ashe's ego remains dominant, but he can't tell where his memories begin and Wrynn's end. He also picked up some of her sadism and has to deal with her taunting when he sleeps. Since Brook never interacted with his demon, Ashe is able to steal and eat his with no problem, but when he eats Scarlet's, he loses all control over it.
• Blood Knight: The only source of joy in his life is killing, and the ten a day he is limited to is nowhere near enough to satisfy him. Simulated killing in a PVP game is good enough to occupy his free time, it's only too bad that the mortal world's continuing collapse eventually demoralizes the FateCraft dev team into quitting.
• Brought Down to Normal: After Chase destroyed all the demons Ashe consumed, Ashe lost all of his supernatural abilities and became human. While he's relatively faster and stronger than a normal human due to his body originally being made by Satan, he has a fraction of the power he used to have.
• Cannibalism Super Power: In episode 124, it’s revealed that part of his Blood Knight personality and raw strength is due to having consumed Wrynn's demon. Essentially, he has TWO demons. Later, he pulls out and eats Brook's, giving him three, and most of Scarlet's, giving him almost four.
• The Dreaded: Even if the specifics are not known, rumors of a monster that kills people exiled beyond the walls are widely known and feared.
• The Fog of Ages: He thinks he had a daughter and parents that he is desperate to see again, but his mind is a mess between unliving too long and having Wrynn in his head.
• He's Back!: Episode 124 is centered entirely on him as he finally begins to massacre humanity.
• I Reject Your Reality: If you had just finished exterminating half of humanity and was just told that it was All for Nothing and you've only doomed the world further, would it be easier to believe that it's true, or a lie? It would obviously be the latter. Ashe's goal to speed up God's Assimilation Plot remains unchanged after being told that God Is Dead. If anything, he becomes more fanatical about it than ever and it is extremely obvious to him that Scarlet and Brook are lying about it. Long after it is too late, he acknowledges that there were plenty of signs they were telling the truth, but he was too delusional to see it.
• Kill Tally: He doesn't always do a perfect job, but he likes to keep track of his kill count, and he can count into the tens of thousands.
• Knight Templar: He wants the human world to be purified, and he believes that it will go better if the rules limiting the number of people he is allowed to kill and limiting him to those with sinner's marks in the first place are removed.
• Meaningful Appearance: His cyan color scheme is a hint to his having TWO demons; his own, and Wrynn’s.
• Mercy Kill: What he's convinced he's doing to the human race, believing that if he exterminates humanity, all human souls will be reunited in paradise.
• Nigh-Invulnerable: Other reapers can still be killed by mortal means if you are cautious and prepared enough. He cannot. Nothing a nation's entire military tried would work.
• Omnicidal Maniac: He views the extinction of the human race as a Mercy Kill. Even if he doesn't like to admit it, he also finds killing kind of fun.
• One-Man Army: Due to having two demons, he is completely invulnerable to mortal weapons. He once exterminated half of a nation's military to make them concede to his demands. When Satan sets him loose to kill as much as he likes, he manages to massacre half of humanity in about a day.
• Red Baron: Many people call him the Dragon.
• Sadist: He tortures Brook for fun, and regardless of whatever good intentions he has, he genuinely enjoys the suffering of others.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: It really is fairly obvious that God only intended humanity as a temporary existence, and Ashe theorizes that when humanity goes extinct and the world is destroyed, everyone will be united in paradise. He's technically right - once he succeeds, God will devour everything. What he doesn't know is that God Is Dead.
• Yes-Man: While he doesn't put Satan's interests ahead of his own, he does spend a lot of time groveling before and sucking up to him. Satan for his part seems to find this attitude annoying.

Wrynn

Scarlet's predecessor. She was fired for failing to meet her quota. What Satan doesn't mention is that the reason she couldn't meet it is because her demon was devoured by Ashe.

---

• Blood Knight: Like Ashe, she likes to kill, and unlike him, she doesn't make any excuses for it.
• Living Memory: The original Wrynn is long gone, burning in Hell as per her sentence. However, her synchronization with her demon was so strong that it became a mental copy of her. After Ashe stole her demon and ate it, that copy's personality was partially mixed into his.
• "Not So Different" Remark: She enjoys killing. Ashe likes to insist that he's different, but Wrynn insists that they are the same, with Ashe, if anything, being the worse of the two since he outright wants to end all life.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: She's a reaper, a sinner, and bad news all around, along with her red eyes.
• Talking in Your Dreams: The reason Ashe avoids sleeping. Both of them want to commit mass murder, but have different philosophies about it, which they argue about whenever he sleeps.

Zero

One of Satan's second generation reapers, and the strongest of them all. Since the original Chase is gone, he was chosen or created as an imitation to mess with Scarlet.

---

• Ambiguously Related: He is a "counterfeit" of Chase who shares his face and also cares for Scarlet. Whatever he really is, he is not the original Chase, but Satan says that if Scarlet knew the truth, she would give up anything for him.
• Forced into Evil: Whoever and whatever Zero is, he cares for Scarlet, but Satan has given him a Sadistic Choice. If he disobeys Satan's orders, he will be replaced by Judah, someone who will use whatever leeway Satan gives him to hurt Scarlet far more.
• Identical Stranger: The real Chase is gone, probably for good. Zero has his face, and refers to himself as a counterfeit.
• My Hero, Zero: Second generation reapers are each assigned a Circle of Hell. Within that circle is the only place they can unleash their full powers, unrestrained. Zero has full access to his power regardless of where he is.

Everette

The second sinner Scarlet killed and one of Satan's second generation reapers, assigned to the First Circle.

---

• Anthropomorphic Personification: The authority Satan gave her is "Snail".
• In-Series Nickname: "One" for her circle and "Snail" for the authority Satan gave her.
• Punch-Clock Villain: She is only a First Circle sinner after all, she probably wouldn't be there if she had any choice.
• Token Good Teammate: She was damned to the First Circle of Hell because of God's Moral Sociopathy, but by human standards, she's pretty much innocent. Zero describes her as the only reaper that's peaceful.

Five

The fifth of Satan's second generation reapers.

---

• Blue Blood: She is said to be a woman of high nobility.
• Pride: She is proud of her new station and likes to show off her importance with her way of talking.

Nine

The ninth of Satan's second generation reapers.

---

• Cool and Unusual Punishment: Given the choice, he would rather be ripped into shreds multiple times and be forced to regenerate over performing team building exercises.
• Opposite-Sex Clone: He looks exactly like a male version of Scarlet, even down to the scar on his mouth. This is because he was created from Barghest, and while Scarlet interacted with Barghest enough to partially imprint herself on him, she did not do so enough to make him an identical copy like Wrynn did to hers.
• Reincarnation: He is a reconstruction of Barghest, Scarlet's former demon.
• Revenge: He resents Scarlet for accepting the deal with Satan to become a reaper, using him as a Captured Super-Entity for Powers via Possession.

Barghest

Scarlet's demon, used to give her the powers of a reaper.

---

• Death of Personality: Chase kills all of the demons empowering reapers, including Barghest, with the intention of causing the power they were made of to dissolve into fragments devoid of any personality. He wasn't entirely successful. Satan manages to gather what is left of Barghest to create Nine.
• Powers via Possession: It is the source of Scarlet's reaper powers. In the case of a willing possession, it becomes able to share Scarlet's sapience, allowing it to talk.

Earth

Veronica Carter

^{Click to see her in season 3} 

The chief of police and Chase's adoptive mother.

---

• Big Damn Heroes: Arrives and shoots a detonator out of the Red Spades' leader's hands before she could blow up the base of operations.
• Coat Cape: While she typically wears coats, she always keeps her arms out of their sleeves and instead drapes them across her shoulders like a cape.
• Cool Old Lady: While Veronica isn't old, she is middle aged and is a good mother to Chase and has managed to stay chief of police without becoming a sinner.
• Defector from Decadence: She tried to uphold justice and reform the corrupt police system from within. She ultimately failed and came to the conclusion that it was impossible, because the corruption was Inherent in the System. She then became the new leader of the Red Spades.
• Friend on the Force: Chase goes to her for information after having been fired.
• Good Stepmother: From what we learn from their dialogue, Chase's real mother was very abusive. She is much more kind and caring towards him. She even pays for his rent and expensive medicine since he doesn't have a job.
• Ms. Fanservice: While her current self is certainly easy on the eyes, her younger self sported an unbuttoned shirt showing off her curves and long hair.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: She's the police chief, and somehow has managed to keep herself from becoming a sinner in her quest to improve the world.
• Tsundere: A very downplayed example. She clearly loves Chase and has no problem telling him so, but the moment he tells her the reason he grew up smart was because she raised him, she tells him she has to go while her mouth is trembling.
• Wham Shot: In episode 89, after episodes of not seeing her after she says she has things to do, we find out what’s happened to her in the meantime: she has a sinner’s mark, and is the new leader of the Red Spades.

Liam

Ana's childhood friend, who after being unable to contact her, goes to visit her and meets Scarlet and Chase.

---

• Batter Up!: He killed a random old man with a baseball bat and nearly tries to kill Chase so he can become a sinner, be killed by Scarlet, and be sent to hell with Ana.
• Break the Cutie: Breaks hard in episode 60, when he finds Ana's body after witnessing Scarlet and Brook's fight against Bernadette, finding out about reapers and angels, overhears them talking about killing people (and figures out they must've killed Ana) and the 911 operator tries to get him to bribe them to put his call higher on a priority list, otherwise he'd have to wait 25 days for emergency services to talk to him.
• Dogged Nice Guy: Implied to be the case with him and Ana. While they were childhood friends, Liam’s extreme belief in her still being alive and that they're “fated” to be together... is concerning.
• Face–Heel Turn: Although it’s implied he wasn’t all there to begin with, Liam was one of the few non sinners in the series. And then he finds Ana’s corpse, and kills someone solely because he guessed if he did, he could be reaped by Scarlet.
• Half the Man He Used to Be: Once he tries to go after Chase, Scarlet cuts him in half with her scythe.
• Sanity Slippage: He's introduced as one of the few characters without a sinner's mark. While it's implied even then he wasn't all there to begin with, considering his obsession with fate and treating life like a story, what sanity he had is gone once he finds Ana's corpse and murders a random man so Scarlet will kill him and he can be with Ana in hell.
• Suicide by Cop: He murders someone to become a sinner so Scarlet will reap him. At first she refuses, but once he goes after Chase, she wastes no time killing him.
• Unlucky Childhood Friend: He's had feelings for Ana since they were kids, and she ended up marrying someone else after her parents convinced her to not pursue her writing.
• You Are Worth Hell: He damns himself to Hell believing that it will allow him to be reunited with Ana. It never occurs to him that keeping them apart would be part of his punishment.

Judah

A sketchy pathologist who appears to have knowledge on Case X.

---

• Does This Remind You of Anything?: Considering what few memories Scarlet has of him involves him scarring her face and invading her personal space, and in the present he tells her to take her clothes off to confirm something, the sexual assault vibes coming from him are strong.
• Entitled to Have You: In episode 122, he states that he loved Scarlet/Yue enough to brand her and give her a name, making her his.
• Gasoline Dousing: How he makes his appearance in episode 122, pouring gasoline around Scarlet’s mother’s room before setting it on fire.
• Hate Sink: His implied abuse of Ante and the resulting terror Scarlet feels from seeing him instantly makes him this. Making matters worse is that he chopped her head off and sewed it on a different body. And of course, whatever horrifying evil Ante Nora did to be sentenced to the 9th circle, he was definitely complicit and may even have been its mastermind. It's hard not to cheer when Chase punches him directly in the face. In episode 122, it's revealed that although Scarlet/Yue released the Scarlet Rot to the world just so she could sell the cure to make enough money to save her dying mom, he was the one who implanted the idea of using the rot, and after she (very reluctantly) gave him the cure in her will, he destroyed the cure because he'd rather watch humanity die and profit from it than make an easy decision to be a public hero.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: He wanted a reaper to kill him so he could become one himself. In episode 123, Scarlet tried to invoke this by killing him without using her demonic abilities, to ensure he wouldn't go straight to hell and instead wait in judgment. Unfortunately, she did not have a thorough enough understanding of the rules, and he ends up getting Satan's favor, just like he wanted.
• Horrifying the Horror:
  • Even after Scarlet has spent 25 years in the 9th Circle, whatever Judah did to Ante makes her tremble and freeze in horror and even feel like she needs to vomit.
  • Scarlet warns Brook that while she cannot remember much, she knows that Judah is extremely dangerous, and tells him to Run or Die. Brook reassures her that while he may have been dangerous to her when she was human, he's sure either of them would be fine now due to them being reapers. While Judah pretends to panic, he calmly lures Brook into a trap that slices him into pieces, causing a terrified Brook to scream What the Hell Are You?.
• Immortality Seeker: His main goal is to live forever. He would find it satisfying if his body's particles were the only intact matter after the heat death of the universe. Convincing Satan to recruit him as a reaper would be really cool, but even the prospect of spending an eternity being tortured in Hell doesn't really bother him since that means he would continue to persist.
• Really 700 Years Old: He looks like he's 40 and Brook guesses that he's 60 when asked. But Judah reveals that he's much older than that. As one of the world's highest elites, he has access to medical technology they have kept hidden from everyone else, allowing for biological immortality.
• Torture Technician: After capturing Brook, Judah finds his supernatural properties fascinating. While curious as to what Brook is made of, Judah decides to focus on learning whether it is possible to make Brook feel pain.

Heaven

God

• Ambiguous Gender: God has been referred to with both masculine and feminine pronouns. Episode 130 implies, based on Their description of humanity as extensions of Themselves, that their gender depends on the preferences of whoever they're talking to.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: God isn't malicious, but he has so little in common with humanity that he cannot relate to them, resulting in the creation of a Crapsack World and Unfeeling Heavens.
• The Ghost: Has been mentioned but yet to have made an appearance.
• God Is Dead: God has not interacted with their archangels for thousands of years, and stopped judging souls a few years back. When the world starts to near its end, Bernadette violates the laws of heaven, steals Celeste's key, and breaks into God's sanctum by force to demand answers, only to find God's blood-spattered corpse. It turns out to be Satan's doing.
• God Is Evil: Satan claims that God created him for the sole purpose of suffering in Hell for eternity, all so he could figure out the answer to a question Satan still doesn't actually know. He isn't lying. God turns out to be evil in the Obliviously Evil sense.
• God Is Flawed: Satan has referred to himself as a weakened copy of an already imperfect being. Episode 130 reveals that God believes They are 'incomplete' - the purpose of the human species is to produce aspects of God so they can understand Themselves.
• The Gods Must Be Lazy: Bernadette accuses God of this when he hasn't taken action against the threat Scarlet poses. He also stopped judging virtuous souls a few years back, meaning that even non-sinners don't go to Heaven anymore. The real problem isn't laziness. The world is simply nearing the end of it's usefulness to God's plan. It also doesn't help that God Is Dead.
• Have You Seen My God?: Not even his Archangels have seen him in thousands of years, and has not been judging souls in some time.
• Lack of Empathy: It is implied, based on His journals, that God has difficulty relating to his creations and basically views the world he created as an experimental sandbox. Their conversation with Celeste further emphasizes this, with God only seeing their creations as tools for an experimental research project. For example, the most virtuous of humans are considered valuable up to a point, but anyone so good that they become an outlier is to be erased completely in order to avoid destabilizing the project, with God outright describing them as worthless. This is ultimately God's undoing, as their inability to understand their creations makes it possible for two of them to become a case of Turned Against Their Masters.
• Moral Sociopathy: While God has some capacity to judge virtue and sin, God's Lack of Empathy means that their judgements ignore a lot of context that mortals would consider important.
• Obliviously Evil: God has an ability to evaluate positive and negative traits, but ultimately lacks the ability to fully understand or empathize with their creations, only seeing them as tools for their Quest for Identity.
• Pieces of God: Every being that exists is a lesser reflection of God intended to experience different life paths. When the world ends, God plans to enact an Assimilation Plot, rejoining with everything in order to gain an understanding of their own identity.
• Quest for Identity: God's ultimate motive. They were born from nothingness and without purpose, so they created a project to have lesser reflections of themself experience countless life paths to come up with an answer.

Bernadette

The second archangel of Heaven, who becomes aware of Scarlet's presence after the second time her demon takes over.

---

• Akashic Records: Bernadette was supposedly just given authority over mirrors. That is only part of it. She is actually the living embodiment of God's library, which is why studying it never taught her anything new. Her true purpose is to record history.
• Angelic Beauty: An archangel, and notably attractive.
• Angelic Transformation: She is a former mortal, a nun back when she was human, up until God lifted her into an archangel.
• Anthropomorphic Personification: God gave her authority over "reflection", both literally and metaphorically.
• Combat Stilettos: Her high heels make her even taller and don't seem to cause any problems during a fight.
• Deader than Dead: Nyra describes her as more than just "dead", but completely "gone".
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: God gave Celeste authority over Space, while giving Bernadette authority over... mirrors? Bernadette admits that it really would be a complete Curb-Stomp Battle if Celeste took her at all seriously, but due to her sheer arrogance, she failed to note that Bernadette can use her mirrors as an Attack Reflector and a Solar-Powered Magnifying Glass.
• Hero Antagonist: Her primary motivations are to restore the judgement of souls, stop Satan's harmful influence on the mortal world, prevent reapers from killing innocents, and keep Heaven from collapsing. These are all rather noble goals, but their pursuit also puts her in opposition to the main characters.
• Icy Blue Eyes: She has very cold blue eyes, which make her all the more intimidating.
• Killed Off for Real: Scarlet kills her while she suffers from Worf Had the Flu, and Azrael confirms she's dead.
• One-Winged Angel: With the world about to end, she takes the only option she knows of to save it, which will unfortunately damn millions of virtuous souls to Cessation of Existence. In her weakened state, Scarlet is easily able to defeat her, so Bernadette resorts to transforming into an Angelic Abomination, increasing her power dramatically at the expense of her humanity.
• The Power of Glass: Her main ability revolves around manipulating glass shards, especially mirrors.
• Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: She wishes to defy the laws of Heaven to save the Crapsack World that is Earth and has been trying to persuade her fellow archangels to join her. Azrael figures that God gave her the ability to question and defy him for a reason, and while Azrael will not help her, he will not stand in her way. Celeste on the other hand, has threatened to deal with her if she tries it. For a long time, Bernadette backed off due to fear of the collateral damage, but when it becomes clear that the world is about to end, she forcefully rebels against Celeste.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her angry fight in broad daylight against Scarlett accidentally tipped Liam to the truth about the world and what happened to his crush, instigating his Face–Heel Turn.
• Winged Humanoid: Being an archangel, she has huge wings.

Azrael

The third archangel of Heaven. He chooses to neither oppose nor aid Bernadette's actions, as he believes that God gave her the ability to question him for a reason, but is too fatalistic to believe that the course of the mortal world can be changed. He does, however, develop a personal interest in Chase.

---

• Anthropomorphic Personification: Of Death.
• Archangel Azrael: Azrael is one of the three angels of God, and is depicted as a Casanova Wannabe flirting with his fellow angels. He can see the future (to be precise, how everyone dies) and hence basically lives his life with no care in the world since he views the future as set in stone. God's primary duty for him is to serve as a failsafe. In the event of God's death, he is supposed to "cleanup" God's mess by killing the other archangels and destroying the universe. However, while he will not directly disobey God's orders, he has his own contrary agenda.
• Casanova Wannabe: He flirts endlessly with both Celeste and Bernadette, to no avail. Bernadette beats him up, Celeste usually ignores him.
• The Chessmaster: He doesn't do much, but what he does do using his Seer powers sets some dramatic events into motion.
• Death Seeker: More out of boredom than anything else, but after the world breaks, he goes around letting mortals and low ranking demons try to kill him.
• Hidden Agenda Villain: He gives various characters enough information to influence Ashe into massacring half of humanity and Scarlet into killing Bernadette. Given his prescience, the results were almost certainly intentional. He also knew that God would be murdered and made no effort to intervene since he was never ordered to. He then tells Celeste that with God's death, he is under orders to destroy the Universe, and by extension, erase her from existence. When he tells her he has foreseen that she will obey because of her Blind Obedience to God, she says Screw Destiny and makes the future unpredictable even to Azrael. Azrael for his part only sarcastically expresses surprise, as if he already expected her actual decision. There are some hints that he is a Well-Intentioned Extremist who took exception to God's Lack of Empathy and wanted to set the world free, albeit at great cost.
• Let Them Die Happy: A long time ago, he rejected a princess's marriage proposal, but told her he would be willing to accept it a few years later. He knew all along she was destined to die at that time. He marries her and gives her a kiss just before she is decapitated.
• Loophole Abuse: He will never directly disobey God's orders, but if circumstances change, he will be more than happy to take advantage of them to act contrary to God's purposes.
• Murder by Inaction: Since God never ordered him to try and prevent God's death, were it to ever happen, he simply ignored it when Satan snuck in to kill God.
• The Nicknamer: He likes to give people nicknames, a habit Bernadette finds annoying.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: Acts like a total Cloudcuckoolander when introducing himself to Scarlet and reintroducing himself to Wrynn.
• One-Hit Kill: One of his powers as Angel of Death is the ability to kill anything with a thought, including the entire universe.
• Prescience Is Predictable: He is far from omniscient, but he knows enough to have little motivation. As far as he is concerned, the future is set in stone, and he sees no point in doing anything because no matter what you do, the ending will always be the same.
• Seers: He can predict the future, although he states that it is only an aspect of a different power. Strictly speaking, he can foresee how everyone dies, since his purpose is to cleanup God's mess in the event of God's death. It becomes weaker after Celeste breaks fate, but he still has a good "intuition".

Celeste

The first archangel of Heaven, second in rank only to God. She directly opposes Bernadette's attempts to rouse God or interfere with the mortal world, as she refuses to question or defy any commands from God; since their last orders were to stand by, stand by she will.

---

• Anthropomorphic Personification: God gave her authority over Space.
• Angelic Transformation: She is a former human that God lifted into an archangel.
• Blind Obedience: The reason God left her in charge of Heaven, using her to enforce their plan. She believes that Heaven is perfect and that God is infallible, an opinion that even God does not share. She doesn't care if God truly wishes for all mortals to fall to damnation and is furious that Bernadette does. But even if she thinks that God is perfection personified, she does acknowledge that God is very different from humans. A major motive for her loyalty is the fact that her judgement came down to whether she truly believed her actions in life were for God's plan, or whether she deluded herself to justify her own selfish ambitions. God halted her judgement without coming to a conclusion, and she is terrified at the idea her actions as a mortal could have been wrong.
• Evil Stole My Faith: After learning that God Is Dead, the universe is falling apart, and Azrael is executing God's will to destroy the Universe in the event of God's death, Celeste abandons her loyalty to God and decides she's working for herself from now on.
• Jeanne d'Archétype: Heard the voice of God lead her to victory, and was burned at the stake for her heresy.
• Lying to Protect Your Feelings: She reassures a person in the 8th Circle of Heaven that yes, his son made it into the 7th Circle of Heaven despite his failings when said son actually got sentenced to Hell.
• Meaningful Rename: God gave her the name of Celeste and told her to disregard her past, both for the authority over space they gave her and to redefine her as their tool. After losing faith in God, she reasserts her original name of Nyra.
• Not So Above It All: After one too many ask-outs from Azrael, Celeste leaps at the opportunity when he offers to do her work for her in exchange for a date. Save for the plot-important "check on Bernadette", most of her to-do list is in Wall of Blather format.
• Screw Destiny: She uses half of the power she salvaged from God's corpse to shatter fate, leaving Azrael unable to predict the future anymore.
• Space Master: God gave her authority over space. The sheer collateral damage she could do with it is the main reason Bernadette has been backing off from rebellion. It basically allows her to transport people into outer space, control movement, conjure objects, and even smash people with celestial bodies like the sun and moon.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Olives.
• Undying Loyalty: She has absolute loyalty to God, and was promoted to archangel after she died for her beliefs.
