     Hashi 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hashi_portrait_mugen.jpg
This world used to be so beautiful.. You've all ruined it.
Hashi belongs to an ancient race of nature spirits who shaped and constructed our world. He was banished from the forest where the rest of his (now nearly extinct) race lives for his excessive violence against humans. When the king's heart was stolen, the forest became corrupted and twisted. Malen, the leader of his race, now offers to end his exile. In exchange, he is sent to find the source of the corruption in the chaos between worlds, since he is the only one of his race with any aptitude for fighting. He is accompanied by Bako, a small plant creature able to travel between worlds.
  • Asshole Victim: He is sent to his demise by Bako upon betraying Malen's cause.
  • Bilingual Bonus: In one of his victory poses he declares that the yerba mate that Bako brought him is bitter. It's more notable as a standalone M.U.G.E.N. character, where he has some victory quotes in English and some in Spanish.
    ¡Está amargo!
  • Bullying a Dragon: He often bullies and makes insulting remarks to Bako, who has the ability to transport him to other worlds. This leads Hashi to his demise, as Bako transports him to his doom upon betraying humanity and bullying Bako one final time.
  • Disney Villain Death: He suffers one of these thanks to Bako, who sends him to a pit (which may or not be bottomless) after he decides to betray humanity.
  • Edible Ammunition: Hashi can grow apples, oranges, and even giant watermelons from his feet and throw them at his foes.
  • Eco-Terrorist: He really hates humans and before the events of the game he already killed and terrorized them. He hates them so much that he lets one of his seeds be corrupted with enough power to cover the planet in vegetation while wiping out humanity in one fell swoop. Of course, this causes his downfall.
  • Gaia's Vengeance: He hates humanity. Plain and simple.
  • Knight Templar: He perceives himself as this for plant-kind, wanting to eradicate humanity as he views them as a menace to the earth.
  • Man-Eating Plant: Hashi is not quite one in his regular form, but he transforms into one for his Level 3 instant kill.
  • Nature Spirit: He is a hostile one, especially towards humanity.
  • Plant People: He resembles a humanoid made entirely out of wood.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: One of his intros has him watering some flowers. In one of his winning poses, he jumps on top of a giant flower before chuckling evilly.
  • Shapeshifter Weapon: Hashi changes his limbs into a variety of shapes to fight with, including spikes, whips, and a very large wooden bat which he breaks into splinters over the course of multiple blows upside his opponent's head.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Of his fellow nature spirits. This actually serves a purpose, as he is the only one of them with any fighting competence.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: He can turn his limbs into weapons and can grow to massive size in his finisher.
  • When Trees Attack: He's a homicidal plant-man, what did you expect?

     Noroko 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/noroko_portrait_mugen.jpg
Tasukete...Translation
Click here to see her before her death.
A ghost that was sealed within an ancient Japanese doll. The doll was in the possession of an antique collector, attracted by the stories of the ghost in the doll (which he never saw). When the king of the Other World was murdered and his heart ripped out, the huge power emanating from it awakened her. Noroko now travels through the worlds searching for the heart, in the hopes its power can end her suffering.
  • And I Must Scream: Her soul was trapped inside the doll for centuries until she was awoken.
  • Barred from the Afterlife: Due to her soul being trapped inside a doll, she can't enter the afterlife. She finally is allowed to enter in her ending.
  • Bilingual Bonus: The few lines she has are all in full Japanese.
  • The Blank: Most of the time. Otherwise, she has a Nightmare Face.
  • Creepy Doll: A doll serves as her Soul Jar.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: She was killed mercilessly by a cult leader and her soul was sealed inside a doll to make sure she couldn't go to the afterlife.
  • Death Seeker: She wants to use the black heart to purge her soul and finally end her forced eternal torment.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: She is alongside Animus one of the only fighters who get a happy ending, as Final takes pity on her and shares a small portion of the power of the heart so she could purge her soul
  • The Faceless: As a ghost, her face is usually blank, except when she attacks her opponents. Her full face is trapped on the doll's face, indicating her soul is trapped. In the end, the doll's face fades out while she regains her face back after she purges her soul.
  • Fate Worse than Death: The one who killed her trapped her soul inside a doll, making her suffer inside it for centuries.
  • Foil: She serves as a benevolent one for Peketo. While both are violent ghosts with pale skin, are dressed in red outfits, and want the power of the heart, Noroko was used as a sacrifice against her will and wants to use her heart to tame her perpetual anger and go to the afterlife, earns Final’s sympathy and uses it to go to the afterlife, Peketo, on the other hand, became a ghost after being killed in an act of revenge after doing mass-murder and willfully read dark magic to extend his timespan, desires to have the black heart for his own entitlement, disgusting Final who not only denies it from him, but forces Peketo into a neverending battle against his abusive father.
  • Geisha: She transforms briefly into one of these if she is affected by Animus's Iron Virgin super or any other Midnight Bliss-esque attack in early releases. For what happens in the final version, see below.
  • Human Sacrifice: In the ending is revealed that she was killed and her blood was contained in the doll in what seems to be an ancient ritual.
  • Jump Scare: Prone to doing so within her moveset. Even her Fatal Move is one!
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: In the flashback that shows how she was killed by a cult leader, he also appears to rip her kimono off, implying this.
  • Red Is Violent: She's a violent ghost wearing a bloody red kimono.
  • The Resenter: She clearly isn't happy with the ones who killed and trapped her in the doll.
  • Samurai: In the Final version of the game and the latest M.U.G.E.N update, she transforms briefly into one of these if she attacks Animus's Iron Virgin super with low life.
  • Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: She is a walking, floating, screaming catalog of Japanese horror tropes, with The Ring and Ju-on still in recent memory during the game's development.
  • Tame Her Anger: With the permission of Final, she uses a part of the heart to purge her soul and allow her to move to the afterlife.
  • Unstoppable Rage: The unbridled anger she feels toward her killers causes her to lash out at everyone around her, whether they deserve it or not. In her ending, Final helps purge her soul of her anger, allowing her to pass on.
  • When She Smiles: She seems to be happy once her soul is purged and regains her face back
  • Who Wants to Live Forever?: Or rather, who wants to spend the rest of eternity trapped inside a doll and unable to go to the afterlife?

     Peketo 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peketo_portrait_mugen.jpg
¡Que lindo! Translation
Click here to see him before his death.

A child driven mad by his neglectful father who studied the occult, Peketo once opened a portal to the Other World by accident and became obsessed with the immense power he felt when he gazed upon the barren landscape. As the color of blood was the only red similar to that of the Other World, he wantonly killed people just to see it over and over again. He was later murdered by a relative of one of his victims, but brought back thanks to one of many pacts he made with the dead. Now, he wants to find the source of the power he felt when he first saw the Other World.


  • Abusive Parents: According to Peketo himself, "he drank too much and hit me very hard". His father was the first victim of his rampage.
  • Asshole Victim: He is killed by the brother of one of the victims of his rampage. While that doesn't initially work as planned due to the pacts he made with the dead, Karma catches up to him when he's forced to spend his immortal life fighting his dad.
  • Bald of Evil: Peketo has no hair on his ghostly head and is a demented serial killer.
  • Beyond Redemption: At the beginning of his story, he already went on a murder spree just for the sake of his red obsession. Even Final rightfully considers that he's beyond salvation for demanding the black heart for no reason at all.
  • Bilingual Bonus: All his spoken likes and victory quotes are in Spanish.
  • Creepy Child: He is the ghost of a child serial killer and carries around his own decapitated head, which he shows to people after he kills them.
  • Death by Irony: Peketo killed his father by cutting off his head. Later on, he is killed by getting his head cut off by his psychiatrist, whose brother was one of Peketo's victims.
  • Decapitation Presentation: Peketo shows off his own severed head for one of his win poses.
  • Detachment Combat: Can yank off his head and use it as a projectile.
  • Enfant Terrible: He killed seven people for the sake of a color.
  • Fate Worse than Death: At the end of the game he is sealed in a fight with his dad for all eternity, due to both of them making pacts with the dead.
  • Foil: He serves as a malevolent one for Noroko. While both are violent ghosts with pale skin, are dressed in red outfits, and want the power of the heart, Peketo willfully became a ghost by making pacts to the death, murdered numerous people when he was still alive, wants to get the black heart for his own entitled purposes and is forced by Final into an eternal fight against his dad as punishment, Noroko was killed and forced to spent centuries as a trapped ghost, wants to use the heart to tame her soul and go to the afterlife and earns Final's sympathy.
  • Missing Mom: His mother isn't even mentioned at any point.
  • Obliviously Evil: Doesn't comprehend how going on a killing spree all for the sake of seeing red is not okay.
  • Off with His Head!: He was killed this way by the psychiatrist who wanted to avenge his brother. After becoming a ghost, this becomes a current theme on his moveset.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: In Peketo's ending, his father calls him by his real name, Ivan.
  • Patricide: He began his murderous spree by killing his abusive father first.
  • Parental Issues: He hates his dad so much to the point that he murdered him and is willing to fight his immortal body for all eternity.
  • Precocious Crush: If fighting against Ananzi, the intro has him gasping when she appears, followed by him smiling and blushing as a little heart appears above his head.
  • Psycho Knife Nut: He has an unlimited supply of scalpels he can use to slice, dice and make julienne fries - oh yeah, and the "murdered seven people over the color red" definitely tells us that he's not sane.
  • Red Is Violent: He's a violent and psychopathic young serial killer whose clothes are covered in red and has a weird fascination with that very same color.
  • Sealed Evil in a Duel: At the end of his story, he and his father are fighting each other for all eternity due to the pacts they both made with the death.
  • Self-Applied Nickname: His true name is Ivan, but he prefers to call himself Peketo.
  • Self-Made Orphan: The first victim of his murder spree was his abusive father.
  • Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: The Art Evolution of the remastered version makes him one pre-mortem.
  • Sole Survivor: He is the only starting playable character to survive the events of the story, but like almost all the cast, he doesn't have a good ending, given that he is fighting his dad for all eternity.
  • Undead Child: Looks like a cutesy skeleton, but is actually a ghost.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: Peketo flails around with his knife with zero technique, but has enough speed and resilience as a ghost to make up for it. He also hits hard enough with one of his supers to launch any character through the top of the screen.
  • Use Your Head: He can throw his head and use it as a bouncing ball to hurt his opponents.

     Animus 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/animus_portrait_mugen.jpg
Obb szaz lany sikolyat hallottam. A te fajdalmad semmi az ovekhez kepest! Translation
Locked in an iron maiden for more than 400 years that was brought to the Other World by the soldiers of the prince at his request. One day, the metal coffin suddenly opened, letting Animus free. His father, Final, mentally beckoned him from afar. He obeyed, eager to learn who he really is, why he had to suffer so much and, most of all, why he can't die.
  • And I Must Scream: Prior to the game's events, he was locked inside an iron maiden for four centuries.
  • Combat Sadomasochist: He has attacks which involves self-injury, claims that his own blood brings him pleasure, and keeps his Slasher Smile even as the opponent beats him up.
  • Death Seeker: Wishes to use the power of the Black Heart to die. With the help of the Black Heart, he finally manages to kill himself in his ending.
  • Driven to Suicide: He considers himself an abomination and hates the mere fact that he exists. Once he has the power of the heart, he quickly uses it to kill himself.
  • Gender Bender: Although he is addressed as a male, on the battlefield he randomly switches between male and female forms during combat, and can change the genders of his opponents before impaling them if they have low health when activating the Iron Virgin hyper.
  • Half-Human Hybrid: The child of a human empress heavily implied to be Elizabeth Bathory and Final.
  • Immortality Hurts: Especially if you're confined in an iron maiden for more than 400 years.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Some of his special moves involve sharp metals impaling his body, with him not being affected by them.
  • Parental Issues: Animus isn't too pleased to learn that his parents were responsible for his immortality status.
  • Put Them All Out of My Misery: In his conversation with Final before the battle he gloats that if he can't die, then everyone else will, starting with him.
    Animus: "Maybe death will come for me when there's nobody else to take."
  • Who Wants to Live Forever?: His main desire in the story is to die or be killed.

     Ananzi 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ananzi_portrait_mugen.jpg
Move away. I'm the daughter of the prince.
The daughter of Prince Janos. She hates chaos and can't stand 'abominations' born from it, the Shar-Makai included. After hearing her father sent his army to recover the Black Heart, Ananzi objects, having trained all her life to serve her father only to be substituted by monsters. Her father then apologizes and asks her to retrieve the heart by herself, to demonstrate her true value.
  • Adaptational Badass: In the early version, she quickly died from a surprise sneak attack made by Janos on her chest. This doesn't happen in the final version, as she misses his surprise attack, teams up with Final and fights her dad twice before dying.
  • Arachnid Appearance and Attire: Her entire design, moveset, and name are all themed after spiders, from the swarms of them she sends after her enemies to the web she descends on at the beginning of a match to transforming into an enormous tarantula and snacking on her opponent as her Fatal Move.
  • Arch-Enemy: She hates the Shar-Makai, believing she and her father the prince shouldn't need to rely on creatures of chaos when bringing order to the other world, and joins the hunt for Final specifically in order to prove it to Prince Janos. Fittingly, Shar-Makai is the second-to-last opponent in her story mode, right before Final himself.
  • Archnemesis Dad: She doesn't realize until it's too late that his father is willing to sacrifice her, her grandfather, and anyone else if it means solidifying his rule over the other world. This realization happens in the very last moments of Anansi's ending — which ends with the old man ripping out her heart, too. However, in the Final version, she avoids Janos's sneak attack and survives enough to quickly change sides and fight him twice before falling in combat.
  • Black Widow: Her outfit makes her resemble one. Her original name was actually "Viuda Negra" ("Black Widow" in Spanish).
  • Creepy Good: The closest thing the game has a to a Played Straight hero, in a Dark Is Not Evil kind of way, who just so happens to be able to make you explode into spiders if you cross her.
  • Daddy's Girl: She is this until the end of her chapter, doing all she can to prove to her father that they don't need the Shar-Makai when he has her.
  • Full-Frontal Assault: One of her supers and her Fatal have the spiders that make up her clothes come off her body, leaving her in the nude for those attacks.
  • Green-Skinned Space Babe: Or in her case, a white-skinned other-world babe.
  • Hartman Hips: Ananzi has a big butt.
  • Male Gaze: She takes center stage on the cover showing off her shapely backside.
  • Ms. Fanservice: See Full-Frontal Assault above for details. Even her normal attire shows off her legs.
  • Royal "We": Though it's inconsistent, she does speak this way in the English text. She is the daughter of a prince, after all.
  • Seductive Spider: Ananzi is a fanservicy spider-woman who's made out of a collective of spiders.
  • She Knows Too Much: She is killed by Janos upon learning that he was the one who killed the old king, not Final.
  • Spider Swarm: Controls a vast horde of them, which transform into her clothes and body at will.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: She can transform into smaller spiders in one of her hypers and a giant one in her Fatal Move.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: She is seeking the Heart to earn her father's approval, once and for all. Prince Janos kills her for her trouble, once she discovers that he's the one who killed the King, not Final.
  • The Worm That Walks: Doesn't look it, most of the time, but she's a spider-woman composed out of numerous spiders, and can shift between forms at will.

     Shar-Makai 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sharmakai_portrait_mugen.jpg
Grrrhh...
A race of worm monsters born in chaos, captured by the Prince of the Other World, and trained to become his loyal servants. They can change their size at will, and can plant their embryos in their victim's bodies, so they can multiply even after being killed. Their current mission is to find Final and obtain the black heart from him.
  • Attack Animal: Essentially Prince Janos's personal attack dogs.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: They're absolutely gigantic at full size, on par with Final and much larger than any of the other fighters.
  • Beware My Stinger Tail: Has a spiked tail it can use to stab and slice at its foes.
  • Expendable Clone: Unlike the other characters, you're not necessarily playing any one Shar-Makai, just whichever one is currently "on duty" for that fight. When you lose a round, your current Shar-Makai dies and releases some larvas from its body. And as a win pose, one of the other members of the horde can drop in and challenge your Shar-Makai — and cut them in half. You'll presumably be playing that Shar-Makai now.
  • Sand Worm: Though they don't burrow through the ground, their design very much resembles the sand worms from Beetlejuice crossed with a giant maggot.
  • Sizeshifter: They can transform back and forth between their hulking full size and that of a foot-long worm in an instant.

     Final 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/final_port_mugen.jpg
Siento tu dolor...Translation
A creature from the chaos in-between the worlds accused of murdering the King and stealing his heart. He now resides in his homeland, attempting to protect the heart from those he deems unworthy of its power.

     Janos 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/janos_portrait.png
I'll be like a god and all the worlds will be mine.
The Prince of the Other World, Ananzi's father, and the master of the Shar-Makai. Following the death of the king, he orders his armies to retrieve the heart from Final so he can conquer both of the worlds.
  • Adaptational Karma: An extremely downplayed example - but unlike the early M.U.G.E.N. edition, the Steam edition has him get subjected to a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from the Shar-Makai, Ananzi and Final before he manages to win at the very last moment.
  • Always Chaotic Evil: He desires the destruction of two worlds.
  • Archnemesis Dad: He is this to Ananzi.
  • Badass Long Coat: Not noticeable from his sprite, but the shades from the cutscenes in the Final version make it more clear that he wears this. It's also his uncle's skin.
  • Big Bad: He is the one leading the war of two worlds. He's the most powerful and dangerous threat in the story, after all.
  • Casting a Shadow: He attacks with shadows. It's actually the skin of the creator of the human world, which used to be pure light but turned into shadows when Janos put it on.
  • Cool Sword: One he can summon that floats around the battlefield to attack his opponent.
  • Evil Overlord: He rules The Other World with an iron fist.
  • Eye Scream: He got his eye ripped out in the process of murdering the creator of the human world.
  • Heroic Second Wind: Inverted - it's a Villainous Second Wind. At the end of his story Ananzi and Final nearly kill him, but right when it looks like he's dead, Janos quickly draws on a secret power of the Black Heart. He then gets up and beats both his opponents in a surprisingly badass moment.
  • Glowing Eye: The only feature of his whole self that anyone can notice.
  • Offing the Offspring: He kills Ananzi when she learns about his involvement in the murder of the old king.
  • Patricide: He killed the king by ripping out his Black Heart, not Final.
  • Promoted to Playable: In the early M.U.G.E.N version, he was only featured in the cutscenes and in Shar-Makai's intro against Final. It wasn't until the Final version in 2021 that he was added as a playable secret boss.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: He appears as a silhouette, but his only eye glows red.
  • Sinister Silhouettes: The original version depicts him as a shadowy figure. The expanded version explains that he really is a shadow person...usually. He got his current look after he killed the creator of the human world and started wearing his skin. The few glimpses we see of Janos without the shadow skin show that he's as pale as Ananzi.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Goes through a brief one near the end of his story in the Steam release. A surprise attack from Ananzi puts him at the edge of death, and he starts freaking out, unable to believe that all his plans failed. Then he gets his Villanous Second Wind...
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: He kills his father, the Shar-Makai, and his own daughter when they are no longer of use for his evil plans.

Non-Playable Characters

     Malen 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/theblackheart_malennpc.png
The leader of the nature spirits, who now face extinction as a side effect of their forest being corrupted. In an attempt to find a solution, he turns towards the exiled Hashi, offering to let him back if he manages to find the source of the corruption.
  • Gentle Giant: He is the biggest character and the most willing to resort to peaceful ways of the game, and we only see his head in Hashi's opening cutscene and stage arena. He is also focused on keeping harmony between humans and nature spirits.
  • Nature Spirit: Malen is the largest example of this in the game.
  • Pacifist: He along with his people initially banishes Hashi due to his violence against humans.
  • Plant People: One of the same "wooden people" as Hashi and Bako.
  • You Have Failed Me: He secretly tells Bako to "take care" of Hashi if he doesn't complete his mission and brings them trouble. Bako briefly explains this to Hashi before leaving him to his fate due to betraying their cause.

     Bako 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/theblackheart_bakonpc.png
A deformed nature spirit, who is forced to team up with Hashi to travel to the other world and stop the corruption of the plants on earth.
  • Exact Words: While at first, he refuses to bring back Hashi with the corrupted seed, he admits he has to obey Malen's orders... that is to get rid of Hashi if he betrays them.
  • Nature Spirit: And one who has the ability to teleport.
  • Plant People: Just like Malen and Hashi.
  • Teleportation: He can take teleport himself and Hashi to the other world.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Bako is humiliated and despised by Hashi, forced to become his only way to access to the other world. It's not until Hashi demands him to force with a dangerous seed that will end mankind that Bako fights back by tricking Hashi and sending the rotten plant to his demise.
  • Weaponized Teleportation: In Hashi's ending, Bako uses his power to "take care" of Hashi when he betrays Malen's cause by teleporting him to a pit and leaving him behind.

     The Cult Leader 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/theblackheart_leadernpc.png
A man who lived in feudal Japan and headed a cult dedicated to Human Sacrifice. Even though he has long since passed away, Noroko's experience with him is the reason why she is the way she is.
  • Evil Old Folks: The remastered version's Art Evolution shows that his hair is white as snow. He also has no problem committing rape and murder.
  • Human Sacrifice: He oversaw a ritual in which the victim was stabbed to death before having their blood poured onto a doll as an offering. Poor Noroko was sacrificed this way.
  • Malevolent Masked Man: He is never seen without an ominous mask, whether it resembles a paper bag as in the original artwork, or a hannya mask as in the remaster.
  • Murderers Are Rapists: Implied, as he proceeds to rip Noroko's kimono off before stabbing her to death with a knife.

     The Psychiatrist (David) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/theblackheart_davidnpc.png
A "Psychiatrist" that visits Peketo and interviews it when he is locked in the mental institution, to avenge the murder of his brother and succeeds in it, but ultimately is killed by the ghost of Peketo.
  • Adaptational Ugliness: The original artwork made him look rather fresh-faced and youthful. The remastered version's Art Evolution has him look far more gaunt.
  • Disappointed by the Motive: He doesn't seem pleased upon learning that his brother was killed by Peketo's attempt to see the red color of the other world.
  • Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": In the original release, he introduces himself to Peketo as David, but the subtitles simply refer to him as "Psychiatrist". In the remake, he never tells his name to Peketo.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: He succeeds in avenging his brother's death... however, this only allows Peketo to come back as a more powerful ghost and start his new killing spree with him.
  • It's Personal: He made a deal with the hospital chief to be assigned to Peketo so that he could kill him for killing his brother. In the remastered version, he passes himself off as a psychiatrist to personally get to Peketo.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Quotes this almost verbatim upon realizing that he has just murdered a child. Averted on the remastered version, where he just stays silent.
  • Off with His Head!: How he kills Peketo. Seconds later Peketo returns the favor.
  • Psycho Psychologist: Downplayed; he's willing to murder his patient in the heat of the moment, but feels remorse once it dawns on him just what he did. Averted on the remastered version, as he admits to Peketo that he wasn't a psychiatrist before murdering him.
  • Scary Shiny Glasses: His eyes are completely obscured when he lops Peketo's head off.
  • Tranquil Fury: After interviewing Peketo, he silently kills the child while being in this emotional state.
  • Vengeance Denied: He sneaks into the asylum to kill Peketo to avenge his brother, who was murdered by the kid. His revenge fails as despite killing the child, Peketo turns into a physical ghost due to the pacts he made and kills him in return before escaping the hospital to search for the black heart in the other world.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Decapitates a child for having killed his brother.

     Peketo's Father 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/theblackheart_dadnpc.png
Click here to see him after his death.
Peketo's alcoholic abusive father, who is obsessed with the occult.
  • Abusive Parents: When he was alive, he constantly hit Peketo very hard, earning his son's hatred.
  • The Alcoholic: Peketo describes to the Psychiatrist that his father loved to drink.
  • Archnemesis Dad: Due to being abused by him, Peketo growth to hate his father to the point he decided that he will be his first victim, and is willing to fight against him until the end of time.
  • Asshole Victim: Given that he abused Peketo during his lifetime, is hard to pity him when he's killed by his own son, neither when he comes back to life and forced to spend eternity fighting his son.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: Upon coming back as a spirit, he has a red skull for a head and a black body. Considering that he was an abusive piece of work who definitely contributed to his son being as messed up in the head as he is, he can be considered evil.
  • Sealed Evil in a Duel: Forced to fight his son for eternity. We don't know if he would have caused much trouble in the human world, but considering he was an abusive alcoholic obsessed with the occult, it's pretty safe to assume he would have been dangerous.
  • Off with His Head!: He was killed by Peketo in this way.
  • The Undead: Similarly to Peketo, he became this way due to the pacts he made.
