• Big Bad: While he is the one who ordered the takeover of the Five Kingdoms, he only fills the role in Book 2, which revolves around ending his rule.
• Enemy Mine: By the end of Book 2, he willingly suggests an alliance with Kenna, since the Iron Empire is even a worse adversary than he is. Only Luther turns his back on said alliance the day after Azura's defeat with a surprise attack on Kenna, trying to rule Stormholt and all the Five Kingdoms again.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Even he kill the other leaders of Five Kingdoms, including Adriana, he staged his coup to keep the Five Kingdoms from being conquered by the Iron Empire. Besides, Luther admits that they were a den of treacherous snakes, scheming behind Andrina's back for power while she strove for her impossible alliance.
• Old Soldier: He's a lot older than Kenna, but his long experience in war makes him a worthy adversary.
• Post-Final Boss: He takes this role after Azura's defeat.
• Red Baron: The Blood King.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: A villainous example. He personally lead the take over of the Stormholt castle and executed Queen Adriana.
• Suicide by Cop: Diavolos implies that he attacked Kenna after she defeated Azura in order to get her to kill him.
• Villain Opening Scene: In Book 1 Chapter 2, after he overthrowed other rulers, including Queen Andrina, Kenna's mother and proclaimed himself the new King of Stormholt in 2 years later, he decided to attack the Iron Empire with most of his army; before leaving, he appointed his son Marco Nevrakis in charge of the castle, making him a Big Bad of an entire Book 1
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: His methods may be violent, but he staged his coup to keep the Five Kingdoms from being conquered by the Iron Empire.

Marco Nevrakis

Luther's son, whom Luther put in charge of Stormholt after seizing it from the Rys family. He serves as main antagonist in Book 1.

• Authority Equals Asskicking: He gives Kenna one hell of a fight regardless which weapon you pick for the final battle.
• Big Bad: He is the main villain of Book 1 while Luther is off to fight the Iron Empire.
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: Kenna gives one of these to Marco in retaking Aurelia if she sneaks a weapon.
• Hate Sink: Marco was nothing but sadistic and cruel, hurting anyone who is not helpful to his plans and revelling in inflicting pain to other people. He was also very arrogant, spoiled child only treat servants nothing like peasants, as he struck Trystan when the latter delayed to bow upon introducing the Nevrakis, and haughtily threatened Kenna when she slapped him as retribution, lead to a rivals between them and views Kenna as nothing more than a target to be hunted and executed when he forces Luther's army stationed in Stormholt to search for her. Besides, he went so far as to force Annelyse lead his troops to ambush Kenna's party in exchange of the safety of her people, only he lied to her for their deal and claimed Aurelia for himself, unwittingly forced Annelyse to be his wife.
• Like You Would Really Do It: He calls out Kenna not having the guts to kill him. She proves him wrong if you choose to do so.
• Off with His Head!: Kenna can kill him this way at the end of book 1.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: He's hardly been mentioned since Book 1 and doesn't even appear in Diavolos's flashback.
• Smug Snake: Takes pleasure in taunting and threatening Kenna and insulting her mother.

Bartel Gremley

A sadistic man who is in the employ of Luther Nevrakis. He enjoys torturing and killing his victims. He serves as secondary antagonist in Book 1.

• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Begs for mercy should you choose the option to light him on fire after he kills Dom’s hawk. He will also plead for mercy toward the end of Book 1 when Dom finally kills him.
• The Dragon: To Prince Marco as his right-hand man who is equally cruel and sadistic.
• Dirty Coward: Despite his sadistic and cruel, Bartel is also a coward when he's in the receiving end of a punishment, at least when it's unnatural. When Dom lights him on fire after killing the former's hawk, he frantically begs for mercy (albeit ignorant of the cause of the fire) while running around in a frenzy. When Dom confronts him with a guard's axe, the mere sight of the weapon blazing furiously with Dom's magic immobilized him with fear, whereupon he again begged for mercy.
• Hate Sink: He is easily the most obnoxious and loathsome character in the series, even topping Marco in terms of being unlikable for their sadistic and cruel. He shows no concern for human life aside from his own, and relishes in every opportunity where he gets to kill or torture someone. This is apparent when he allows a soldier to beat Kenna's master beyond necessity, or complies with the immolation of Duncan, Marco's former weapons master, just to test Hex's cannon. Even worse, Bartel is responsible for killing Dom's pet hawk when Dom tried to deliver a warning to Kenna, only eat his hawk deliciously afterward.
• No Body Left Behind: Dominic kills him by planting a fire-charged axe into his chest, burning him alive until all that's left are ashes.
• Smug Snake: A haughty man who acts disdainfully to those he deems inferior. He even mocks Helene for growing “soft” when she opposes the murder of Marco’s former weapons master.
• Torture Technician: The monk being one of his victims.

Helene Leventis

Head of Luther's guard. She serves one of two tertiary antagonist along with Hex in Book 1 and an antagonist-turned-recruitable ally in Books 2 and 3.

• Asskicking Leads to Leadership: She’s the captain and one of the best fighters in the series, even holding her own against Gabriel—a trainer and experienced soldier. She is also the one opponent that was never bested in combat by Kenna or her team.
• Heel–Face Turn: In Book 2, Helene expresses remorse for killing Gabriel and expresses her disillusion after telling herself for many years that all she did was for her Loyalty Oath to King Luther. Kenna can give her the option to redeem herself by joining her alliance (as a premium option) or abandon Luther's side.
• Honor Before Reason: Dom appeals to her compassion to save the Monk from more torture.
• Noble Top Enforcer: Believes prisoners should be treated with dignity no matter their crimes
• Optional Party Member: If the player doesn't choose the Premium Option to recruit her, she takes her army away.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one to Luther after she defects.
  Helene: Do you want to know why I left your service, Luther? Because you're a bloodthirsty, small-minded old fool, and I watched your lust for power send tens of thousands to their deaths.
• Undying Loyalty: To Luther. She doesn't exactly feel the same towards his children but still protects them out of her loyalty to him if she's ordered to. She eventually realizes that it isn't the right path.

Hex

A rogue Technocrat who is set on making the world a better place through bloodshed and destruction. She serves one of two tertiary antagonist along with Helene in Book 1, major antagonist in Book 2 and secondary antagonist-turned-recruitable ally in Book 3.

• Dragon Ascendant: After King Luther is finally defeated, she is set to become the new threat for Season 3, besides The Iron Empire.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Her only redeeming quality seems to be her genuine love for Whitlock.
• Hypocrite: According to her, the Five Kingdoms will destroy everything, so she thinks that making weapons to destroy them first is the best solution to stop war. She ends up destroying two neutral cities that allied with Kenna Rys.
• Evil Genius: Is a sadistic and highly intelligent woman with the ability to create multiple powerful weapons.
• Mad Scientist: She was banned from The Foundry because she wanted to use her genius to build weapons. She continues her experiments financed by the Nevrakis family using living subjects, developing mind control devices on Anton and Dom and god knows what she intended to do with Bubbles.
• Morality Pet: Whitlock is this to her.
• Optional Party Member: She only joins as a Premium Option. If not, she gets locked in the dungeons forever.
• Parental Substitute: Was one to Whitlock before he was forced to exile her.
• You Are What You Hate: She condemns people outside of The Foundry, fearing that they will destroy the world with their neverending war. She ends up destroying The Foundry in Book 2 and Aurelia in Book 3.

Vassilios Nevrakis

King Luther's brother and Ruler of Thorngate after the Nevrakis coup.

• Anything but That!: He'd rather have been burned during the Siege of Thorngate than be put in the dungeons with his surviving men.
• Cannot Keep a Secret: Zenobia called him the king of gossip-mongers. In a premium option in Book 3 Chapter 5, it’s revealed that he blabbed about the location of Nevrakis troops in Panrion, causing Luther to retreat.

• Man on Fire: He makes a last desperate attack on Kenna with a knife, only to get burned alive by Dom.
• Starter Villain: In Book 2.

  • A diamond scene in Book 3 mentions him trying to seduce a woman by telling her about his bedroom problems.

Florian Tartassis

The iron-fisted ruler of Alriel.

• Disproportionate Retribution: Because ship production was down 12%, he orders a sunset curfew and double shifts while also breaking up a festival.
• Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He has no regards for the lives of others.
• Hidden Depths: In Book 3 Chapter 13, if Kenna decides to hang out with Annelyse during her dance off against Zenobia, Florian is appointed as her dance partner, and he turns out to be excellent at it.

Zenobia Nevrakis

Daughter of Luther and sister of Marco and Diavolos.

• Daddy's Little Villain: Is Luther Nevrakis’ daughter who is equally as sadistic, or maybe even more so.
• Disproportionate Retribution: During Val's stint as a handmaiden, she learns that Zenobia had her previous handmaiden beheaded for pricking her with a pin.
• The Dreaded: Her own uncle Vassilios is afraid of her.
• Evil Redhead: She organizes gladiator matches for fun in her parties and has beheaded maids for petty reasons. She also fears more losing her beautiful red hair than being threatened to death.
• Even Evil Has Standards: While she loves the benefits of her family's conquests, she hates war so much that she's willing to help Kenna to stop it once and for all, which is the reason why she suggests Kenna to give the army to Diavolos instead of her father.
• Royal Brat: She doesn't care that her jewelry comes from "The Pits of Death" and how many workers died there, as long as she gets her one-of-a-kind necklace.
• Skewed Priorities: Surrenders Lykos, an important strategic holding to her family, when Kenna threatens to shave her bald. She also says she hates war because all her favorite shops are closed.

Empress Azura

The ruler of Ducitora, A.K.A. the Iron Empire. She serves as unseen overreaching antagonist in Book 1 and 2 and main antagonist in Book 3.

• Ambiguously Evil: She seems like a fair ruler who everyone in her kingdom looks up to, while she also thinks that she is the only one qualified to rule over all the Nations to bring them riches and prosperity. While Kenna and her group still question her nature, this gets thrown out of the window after she announces that the Warrior Tournament Leon is going to take part is going to be a battle to the death.
• Ax-Crazy: She particularly devolves into this whenever her rage gets the best of her.
• Benevolent Mage Ruler: Subverted. Azura first appears to be this with how Ducitora thrives. However, her power-hungry and arrogant nature soon becomes clear.
• Big Bad: Of Book 3 and the Greater-Scope Villain of the series.
• Consummate Liar: She gradually manipulated her way to the throne and brainwashed her people into believing that she's the Greater Good. Lia is the only person in Ducitora that suspects about her and how she made up a bunch of lies about Kenna to make herself look better.
• The Empress: As ruler of the Iron Empire
• Expy: She shares quite a number of similarities with Queen Azshara. Both have similar names, possess white/silver hair, are exceptional sorcery users, they have titles that reference light and are overly ambitious to the point they are willing to viciously sacrifice any loyal subjects to gain more power. In addition, both have annexed so many territories with the intent of creating great, advanced empires and are also blindly admired by their subjects to the point they are practically worshipped.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: She used to be a normal inhabitant of the Stormlands before becoming the conqueror of the Iron Empire with immense power.
• God Empress: The citizens of the Iron Empire serve her willingly to the point they will sacrifice their life to fuel her powers.
• Good Princess, Evil Queen: The evil queen to her daughter Lia’s good princess.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Azura and her empire are this throughout Books 1 and 2: the threat they pose is, at least ostensibly, the reason for everything the Nevrakises are doing to Kenna's kingdom and the others.
• Light Is Not Good: She looks like a benevolent ruler at first glance, but is actually a power-hungry and selfish tyrant.
• Kneel Before Zod: Due to her arrogance, she demands other rulers to bow to her and surrender their kingdoms.
• Mystical White Hair: She has white hair and a vast array of magical powers.
• Psycho Electro: She's murderously insane and has electricity-based powers. Do the math.
• Really 700 Years Old: She's over 1000 years old, which is the result of regularly draining the lives of victims to fuel her powers.
• Shock and Awe: She uses her electricity powers to revive a pup wolf. She also uses them to drain life from willing (and sometimes unwilling) victims to fuel her powers.
• This Cannot Be!: Book 3 Chapter 3 has her let one of these out when Sei turns into a dragon in front of her.
• Unreliable Narrator: If Raydan chooses to learn about Azura's origins from Lia, she will tell that Azura ascended to the throne by "defeating the previous ruler in a riddle contest by betting her hand in marriage".
• The Usurper: Hinted by Lia to have murdered the former King of Marossi to gain power.
• The Vamp: It's heavily implied that Azura "outwitting the previous king" is a lie and that she really seduced and killed him.
• Villainous Breakdown: If Kenna learns the anti-magic spell before the final battle, Azura loses her composture and screams NO! when Kenna starts deflecting her magic.
• Villainous Crush: Reveals she has one on Raydan Lykel when he deflects to her side. One of the premium choices is accepting a romantic lunch invitation from her.
• White Hair, Black Heart: Has white hair but is one of the most villainous characters in the series
