The Order of Unicorn
In General
A trio of mighty heroes from the past who are reincarnated with every time period to defend the world from a great evil.
- Badass Crew: A powerful sorceress, a elven warrior prince with a mystical sword, and Seng is a skilled monk with cosmic powers. And they are frequently reincarnated via an intelligent adaptable robot companion.
- Battle Couple: Melinda and Edred were this in the past. Not so much the case in the present, due to Emma/Melinda still possessing the memories of her current self, who was romantically involved with and about to get married to another man.
- Came Back Wrong: The trio of heroes has been reincarnated many times throughout history, though each time Copernicus finds them as adults to awaken their souls and restore their memories, along with full mastery of their powers. This time, however, in Steampunk London, they were accidentally activated younger than they should have been. Emma/Melinda doesn't understand what's going on at all and only has vague blurred instincts of her past lives, conflicting with her life as "Emma". Alfie/Seng is just a kid, and it's outright stated that the awareness of the astral plane that comes with being a cosmic monk is utterly overwhelming to a child's mind (to the point he's half-insane in a dream-like stupor). Dimitri/Edred fared the best out of the three, but while he has most of his memories and mastery of his powers, even he notes that some key memories are blurry to him, and he notes things aren’t quite right.
- Destructive Saviour: Their one goal is to defeat the Evil, but they're at best ambivalent to the destruction they cause. Melinda and Edred are especially guilty of this, and Alfie/Seng is simply oblivious. They do show concern for the innocent bystanders caught in their battles, however.
- Eternal Hero: Their reincarnations have been battling throughout history since at least "Ancient Egypt".
- Flight: It's a power shared by all three of them.
- Freudian Trio: The mortals, that is. Edred is the Id, being arrogant, overly emotional and possessive with little care for anyone else's well-being, emotional or physical, as long as he can fight Evil and get the girl. Seng is the Superego, insightful and stoic but becoming too detached and distracted to actually help his reincarnation. Melinda is the Ego, a middle ground who sees The Needs of the Many as more important than herself or anyone, but has at least some degree of understanding and compassion.
- Good Is Not Nice: Unicorn shows practically no concern towards the people they wind up possessing. Melinda outright calls Emma selfish for not letting her take full control, Edred's former personality as Dimitri gets completely subsumed, and Seng just offers Alfie a few vague words before leaving him to figure out the impossible scope of his newfound power.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Scotland Yard issues a warrant for their arrest after Emma/Melinda accidentally destroys a city block with her uncontrollable powers.
- Heroic Lineage: The descendants of their incarnations have taken to calling themselves "The Reawakened" and try to emulate their ancestors' appearance. They seem to believe that as blood relatives they'll be candidates for new incarnations, though it's pointed out to them by the chief of Scotland Yard that things obviously didn't pan out that way. It's zig-zagged a bit as there's no indication that Edred, Melinda, or Seng have ever personally sired any children; rather, their hosts did after being released once the Evil was defeated in that generation.
- Interspecies Romance: Melinda and Edred are in a romantic relationship with the former being a human sorceress (or at least appears human) and the latter is an elf.
- Made of Iron: Even in the bodies of children, blows that level buildings leave them winded at most.
- Mythical Motifs: Unicorns, the symbol of purity and hope, thus used as the symbol and title for the group when one appears to them after they decide on their plan to reincarnate.
- Powers via Possession: Each generation of Unicorn heroes are in essence possessed by their former selves, their personality supplanted by the originals and gaining their powers. This time around, however, they were awakened early and the personalities didn't take hold completely, especially in Emma's case.
- The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: Even when fully in control, all three of them are noticeably less mature and more emotional than their previous incarnations, befitting of their younger hosts.
- Transformation of the Possessed: Being awakened not only grants the hosts the powers of their predecessors, but physically changes them. This is minor for Emma and Alfie, just changing their hair and clothing, but Dimitri is completely transformed into an elf.
Emma Fairfax/Melinda
Emma Fairfax before the merge
Melinda before the merge
- Voiced by: Grey DeLisle (first incarnation), Hazel Doupe, Marley Cherry Hillborne (child)
- All Your Powers Combined: She convinces Copernicus to merge all of Unicorn's (and were-Winston's) souls into her to become a powerful entity capable of fighting the Evil reining in the Cosmic Realm. What results in this is a giant spirit with a wolf's head.
- Amnesiac Dissonance: Because the trio's reincarnated souls were reactivated when they were too young this time, their full memories didn't get restored - normally their reincarnated personality just subsumes the one they grew up with. The other two don't have much angst about this because they didn't have much to lose: Dmitri/Edred was a traveling magician (and got most of his memories immediately restored), while Alfie/Seng was an abandoned orphan living on the street (and now overwhelmed by and in awe of his new powers). In contrast, Emma got reactivated on her wedding day, and she had a great life including loving relationships with her entire family. Combined with her initial lack of memories from her past lives, she struggles with whether she's "Emma" or "Melinda" now. After the events of "The Past Within", Melinda slowly grows more distinct as the dominant personality, while Emma is able to speak to her through reflections.
- Armor-Piercing Question: Emma finally manages to make Merlin realize how unfair he was being to Melinda with one of these. If he, the most powerful wizard in the world, couldn't stop the Evil from overtaking Morgan, how could Melinda, a child, have been able to?
- The Atoner: Why Melinda is so doggedly determined to stop the Evil. The Evil is actually her mother, Morgan le Fay, who she accidentally transformed with her magic.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: When Emma gets her original wish of being separated from Melinda, it happens when the heroes can’t afford to lose their most powerful member and Emma is left desperate to find some way of returning to the Cosmic Realm to stop the Evil.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: For an otherwise very feminine woman, Emma has a particularly thick set of eyebrows.
- Blackmail: She convinces Aelwulf (in Edred's original body) to let her use the Heart of the Forest to return to the Cosmic Realm or else she'll threaten him by telling all the elves with the fact "Edred" is not really him but his brother.
- Cassandra Truth: When she's forcefully separated from Melinda and ends up back at her home with her parents, Emma is way too panicked about what happened and constantly worries about going back to the Cosmic Realm, which to her parents sounds like she went full crazy and decide to have her be visited by a therapist who quickly deduced to have her hauled off to an insane asylum for recovery.
- Create Your Own Villain: Melinda accidentally brought the Evil into existence by transforming her mother Morgan le Fay.
- Dark Is Not Evil: While her hair and dress are black like a void, Emma's still a very nice person. Melinda was also a member of the Unicorn, a group whose task is to protect the World from Evil.
- Destructive Savior: Emma/Melinda's inability to properly control her magic and her reckless usage of it in fights has caused more collateral damage and endangered more lives than the Fox Woman's schemes have.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: After seeing Melinda being the one responsible for turning her mother into the Evil that Unicorn fought for generations, Emma tries comforting Melinda and convince her it wasn’t her fault. Melinda, however, tries shutting Emma up and shuts her ears to her words.
- Fire-Forged Friends: Emma and Melinda start off on very sour terms, with Emma furious that Melinda's trying to take over her body and her life (on her wedding day no less!), while Melinda sees Emma as a selfish brat unable to grasp the big picture and realize what's at stake. After Emma discovers Melinda's past, the two slowly begin to warm up to each other and form a more symbiotic bond. It eventually reaches the point that, when the Evil forcefully separates the two at the end of season 1, Emma is horrified and desperate to find Melinda again.
- Fusion Dance: By the end of season 1, Melinda and Emma have become so intertwined that they're effectively a new singular entity, something Edred struggles to come to grips with.
- Good Is Not Nice: Melinda is utterly dedicated to her task of fighting the Evil, and is furious that Emma won't simply allow her to take over as all her previous hosts did. She is completely uncaring about her current host's stressful and terrifying situation, refuses to leave her body (assuming she even could), and outright calls Emma selfish for wanting her out.
- Grey-and-Gray Morality: On one side, Melinda comes off as cold and uncaring about Emma's struggles, demanding her to relinquish complete control of her body, but is right in pointing out that if they don't properly fuse then the Evil has a greater chance of causing untold destruction and death of the innocents. On the other side, Emma refuses to help others during battle and comes off as selfish, but is right in pointing out that she wasn't given a choice on the matter, with Melinda's soul being forced upon her. She also points out that there must be another more willing and compatible host among millions of people around the world. Emma and Melinda eventually come to an understanding after Emma accidentally looks through Melinda's memories, with Emma agreeing to help Melinda fight the evil without having Melinda completely subsume her personality.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Prior to becoming Melinda, Emma had blonde hair and despite her angst over her new role, she's a sweet girl regardless. When Melinda's child self meets Emma, she says that her blonde hair makes her look like a princess.
- How Do I Shot Web?: She struggles to use her powers beyond emotional outbursts as she can't remember how they work.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: Emma was living a perfectly good life before and wants nothing to do with Unicorn. This puts her in conflict with Melinda, and they even struggle for control of her body. After finding out about Melinda's own troubles, Emma agrees to help Melinda fight the evil. Though she doesn't quite take a shine to her new life, she becomes more accepting of it and legitimately bonds with Melinda.
- Loss of Identity: Compared to the others she struggles the most with the disconnect between being Emma and becoming Melinda. She rejects her life as Emma but also bitterly hates the prospect of giving it up to Melinda. After Melinda and Emma come to form a more symbiotic relationship, the individual they are now comes to realize that they’re an entirely new personality that is neither Emma nor Melinda, despite having their memories
- Meaningful Name: Melinda comes from the Ancient Greek word for "black", perfect for her dark hair, clothes and magic.
- The Mirror Shows Your True Self: Emma is able to converse with Melinda through reflections.
- My God, What Have I Done?:
- In "What Lies Beneath," she manages to stop the Fox Woman with a dark blast that blows up the top of a building. However, Emma then sees she just blew up the home of an innocent family huddled up in horror of what just happened, which makes her reconsider using her powers to avoid harming innocent people.
- "The Past Within" has it happen to her thrice. First she's regretful that she summoned a massive kraken that threatens all of London, then we see in a flashback that she created the evil Unicorn has been fighting against by accidentally transforming her own mother, and then she's left on the verge of tears when the aforementioned kraken shatters Copernicus to pieces. The episode ends with her letting out a series of Little Nos as she picks up the scattered parts of the robot.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In "What Lies Beneath," when she's brought to the heart of the possessed ship and gets roughed up too much, she decides to call forth a giant octopus to break through the barrier and sets everyone free. However, the rest of the group is not pleased about it because now they have to deal with a rampaging giant octopus, and said octopus ends up smashing Copernicus into pieces, jeopardizing the reincarnation cycle.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Melinda is deliberately drawn more angular than everyone else with much sharper facial features.
- Person of Mass Destruction: Emma has the most overtly destructive abilities among the Unicorn trio. One uncontrollable outburst from her was enough to obliterate a resurrected elephant and level an entire town square. Edred describes her as being more powerful than all of them, and she's shown to be strong enough to match the Evil single-handedly.
- Playing with Fire: Her powers resemble a dark flame. However, they act more like concussive blasts of energy, though Melinda is shown to melt steel with them in one instance.
- Power Incontinence: She has no memories of how her powers actually work, which causes her to unleash them uncontrollably during emotional outbursts. She gets better after a few episodes, seemingly the result of Melinda becoming more dominant while Emma speaks to her through reflections. She eventually gains full control as a result of Emma's bond with Melinda becoming symbiotic rather than two halves wrestling for control.
- Powers via Possession: This appears to go double for Melinda. Not only do her hosts gain her powers, but her powers themselves are implied to be a living entity, capable of acting independent of her will. In "The Past Within", when Morgan attempts to steal Melinda's magic, the magic itself counters her attempts and retaliates by transforming her into the Evil, long after Melinda has lost consciousness, and Morgan explicitly speaks of her magic as if it's an entity unto itself.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: All incarnations of Melinda have their natural hair turned black, Emma formerly being a blonde. As "The Past Within" reveals, Melinda got it from her mother Morgan le Fay.
- Sharing a Body: Emma and Melinda are basically stuck in this arrangement due to Emma refusing to let her personality get overwritten. They eventually settle into a more symbiotic arrangement after learning to empathize with each other but are torn apart by the Evil in the cosmic realm soon after. However, they manage to reunite an episode later, with just how happy they are to be joined back together showing just how much their dynamic has changed since the beginning.
- Super-Toughness: During her chase after the Fox Woman, she gets hit by bricks in the head and squeezes through narrow metal pipes at full speed. While she is in obvious pain, there's no visible harm to her.
- Technicolor Fire: Melinda’s powers manifest from her body as black flames.
- That Woman Is Dead: Played with. After Melinda's soul is fused to Emma, the latter struggles with her identity, seemingly more connected to Emma than Melinda. However, whenever she's confronted with her old life, Melinda seemingly asserts herself and denies any connection to Emma. For example, when Winston tries to convince Emma to escape with him near the end of Episode 2, she tells him that Emma is gone and she is Melinda now.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: As we see in Episode 5, Melinda was adorable when she was a kid, and far more friendly and outgoing then than her cold and jaded adult self. Being indirectly responsible for turning her mother into an eternal, mindless evil is why she stopped being a Cheerful Child.
Alfie/Seng
Alfie before the merge
Seng before the merge
- Voiced by: Alain Uy (first incarnation), Demari Hunte
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: He seemingly can't concentrate on anything longer than a few minutes, even if he's in danger. Perhaps justified as he's a child and part of his mind is literally somewhere else.
- Bald Mystic: A recurring trait among the individuals whom Seng is reincarnated into is losing all their hair. Thus far, Alfie appears to be the exception to this rule, the transformation merely flattening his hair to a buzz cut. His spiritual form ages him up to his 30s and makes him grow a small afro when the Evil infiltrates the Cosmic Realm.
- Brought Down to Badass: Even deprived of his powers and both of his arms, he's still able to wield a sword with his feet against a crew of undead pirates.
- Cloudcuckoolander: When Seng reincarnates in Alfie, the boy becomes a bit nutty. Edred directly explains that the level of cosmic awareness that comes with Seng's powers is overwhelming for a child's mind.
- Enlightenment Superpowers: He's a "cosmic monk" whose mind is connected to the strands of time and space. This grants him levitation, the ability to cast energy as restraints, and clairvoyance.
- Fading Away: When cut off from the cosmic realm, he begins to fade away, starting with his limbs.
- Handy Feet: As his arms were fading away, Alfie/Seng manages to use a sword with dexterity using only his feet.
- Intangible Man: He can choose to pass through solid matter at will, though Alfie is often too oblivious to consciously make the best use of it. He's able to possess Copernicus when the robot is currently offline and operate him from within, and casually passes through Anti-Magic cell bars to get a drink of water.
- Levitating Lotus Position: Seng does this a lot. Alfie/Seng does it upside down.
- Non-Linear Character: He has the ability to perceive the entirety of cosmic space and time. When put in the body of a child, this power causes him to become disconnected from present events more often than not.
- Phlebotinum Dependence: He's physically dependent on his connection to the cosmic realm, and will slowly fade away into nothingness if cut off from it.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's just a kid, but having access to cosmic power has made him tough enough to smash through solid stone statues completely obliviously, as from his perspective he's destroying the energy animating the statues.
- Reformed Bully: Albeit not really by choice. As Alfie, he was a hooligan who was introduced beating up Winston and his team during a football match. After being awakened to his past lives, he's left that belligerence behind, though only because Seng has partially taken over.
- Seers: His mental connection to time and space allows him clairvoyance.
- Split Personality: Unlike the others, the nature of Seng's powers allows him to converse with Alfie upon his awakening in the cosmic plane beyond time and space they can access, though he quickly jets off to parts unknown for his own mission.
- Street Urchin: Alfie lived with his gang in an abandoned orphanage before Copernicus and Emma/Melinda came along.
- Token Minority: Seng was originally an Asian man and all of his other reincarnations appear to be non-white. Alfie is black and at one point we see a Native American as one of his reincarnations.
- Warrior Monk: Seng is a heroic monk who fights evil with cosmic powers.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Edred outright says that the immensity of Seng's power is too much for the mind of a child, and Alfie initially acts like he's high from the awe of Seng's perception, gaining a massive goofy grin. Afterwards he's easily distractible and unheeding of where he is in the present timeframe, even during battle.
- Out of Focus: in Season 1, he is considerably not focused on. Due to literally being in another realm most of the time. He doesn't offer much outside of some action. No backstory reveal like Edred, nor any conflicts with the other members.
- Year Inside, Hour Outside: His spiritual form within the Cosmic Realm had him age up 20 years older after only a minute outside before he sucked everyone else into the realm.
Dimitri Dynamo/Edred
Dimitri Dynamo before the merge
Edred before the merge
- Voiced by: Jacob Dudman (first incarnation), Tom Milligan
- All Part of the Show: Dimitri turning into Edred is seen as part of the show by his audience.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Edred has blue skin.
- Arranged Marriage: In his first life, Edred was supposed to marry a lady of the Eastern Realm elves, but he couldn't go through with it and gave up everything for Melinda. This causes many problems for Unicorn when they have to return to his home in "The Heart of Kings".
- Badass Longcoat: Has one in Dimitri's body that's also a heroic shade of red.
- Berserk Button: When Edred and Winston argue over who's better for Melinda/Emma he mentions that he and Melinda have been in love for centuries. Winston is quick to counter that not only does Melinda not remember their romance but both her and Emma still show affection towards him. This is enough to drive Edred to punch Winston in the face.
- Brought Down to Badass: The giant who forged his sword temporarily removes its magic until Edred honors his oath to his people, but since Edred is a talented swordsman regardless of the sword's enchantment, this barely slows him down.
- The Charmer: As Dmitri he was quite flirty with Emma when he first met her. As Edred he still sees Emma as his true love Melinda and makes some unsuccessful attempts to win her back.
- Death of Personality: After his past memories are awakened, there is practically nothing left of the street magician he was introduced as. The fact that this hasn't fully happened with either Alfie/Seng and Emma/Melinda clues him in that something went wrong with their latest reincarnation.
- Did Not Get the Girl: His Reincarnation Romance with Melinda ultimately fails to carry over to their most recent incarnations, as his possessiveness and refusal to acknowledge Emma as a part of Melinda push Emma/Melinda towards the much more patient and understanding Winston.
- Elfeminate: Not in Edred's first form, incidentally, which looked fairly masculine and chiseled despite his long hair, but played straight after he gets reincarnated into Dimitri due to him maintaining Dimitri's more delicate facial features and longer lashes in addition to gaining long hair.
- Empathic Weapon: His sword, Twilion of the North, can act of its own volition and understands the intent of his commands, regardless of how vague they're worded. For example, "Strike deep, strike true, strike until you cut right through" certainly doesn't sound like "Castrate all those nude statues," but that's precisely what it does.
- Fights Like a Normal: Aside from flight and enhanced physical abilities, Edred has no powers and relies primarily on his skills with a sword.
- Flying Weapon: Edred can command his sword to move independent of him.
- Green-Eyed Monster: The logical conclusion when he learns Emma was going to marry Winston, resulting in both men arguing over Emma/Melinda.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Though he did it to get under Winston's skin, he isn't incorrect when he points out how Winston's status as a werewolf might pose problems for his and Emma's relationship after Emma is free from Melinda's possession. After all, Emma's possession is temporary, while Winston will be stuck as a werewolf for the rest of his life.
- Love Hurts: By "A Love's Last Light", he's come to realize that Emma and Melinda for all intents and purposes have pulled a Fusion Dance, creating a new person he can no longer recognize, and he's heartbroken that things between him and Melinda will never by the same again.
- Mr. Vice Guy: He's quite a piece of prideful work when it comes to things other than fighting Evil.
- He has a tendency to give into his anger and doesn't realize how his yelling at Emma/Melinda could upset her when she's obviously having an identity crisis.
- He often doesn't care about disruptions, collateral damage or the possible emotional damage unless it directly endangers passerby.
- He's somewhat spiteful and jealous of Emma having a relationship with Winston prior to being chosen, and rubs it in when they leave him to deal with the Kraken.
- He blames Emma for Melinda holding back, or not being able to understand how her powers work, despite his egging her on to unleash her power always resulting in damage or a new problem. He also blames the Evil when it was he who drove Melinda/Emma away in frustration after episode 2.
- While Emma/Melinda's affection for Winston is very genuine and comes to her on her own as she sees memories, Edred tries to recreate a romantic moment while in the hull of a rotting ghost ship, his expression being deliberate in showing him slightly being a creep about it.
- When Emma/Melinda is at the mercy of the Ghost Ship Entity, he sheaths his sword and walks away so that the pressure and pain of the attack forces her into unleashing her power. Winston, putting aside their rivalry, asks him what they can do to help and justifiably gives him a What the Hell, Hero? for it.
- Mystical White Hair: Edred and all of his reincarnations have long white hair.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In his first life, his decision to run away with Melinda rather than go through with his Arranged Marriage ended up causing grief for all of the forest Elves, as he had carelessly broken a thousand-year deal between his people and the Elves of the Eastern Realm. This led to the Elven lands devolving into civil war and the forests withering away, due to Edred's actions severing the Unbroken Line that had been empowering the Heart of the Forest.
- Pointy Ears: Edred is described as a warrior elf, so naturally he has these.
- Powers via Weapon: His sword gives him the power of flight.
- Our Elves Are Different: Edred is explicitly a prince of a tribe of Elves somewhere in the north. He has blue-grey skin, a magic sword and pure white hair as the custom features of his people.
- Reincarnation Romance: Deconstructed. As the only one of the duo with most of his memories intact, Edred wants to reawaken Melinda so the two can continue their romance and fight the Evil. But reincarnating into the body of a hormone-addled young man, combined with his natural Mr. Vice Guy personality, leads Edred to pull some pretty stupid stunts to force Melinda back to the surface. Among them being leaving her to almost die in a fight he could have handled, abandon Emma's fiancé Winston at sea to remove the "competition", and essentially bully Emma into relinquishing control while unjustly blaming her for things going wrong. All this does is push Melinda away from Edred because she grows to care for Emma as her host, to the point their Fusion Dance self grows closer to Winston because he treats both women with kindness and patience.
- Sticks to the Back: He puts away his sword by simply sticking it to his back, even though he's not wearing anything that would hold it in place. This works even when it's temporarily depowered and rendered a normal sword.
- Street Performer: As Dimitri, he made his living as a street magician.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Dimitri is explored the least of the Unicorn hosts. He's introduced as a showy street magician and that's pretty much it before and after Edred takes over.
- What the Hell, Hero?: He's on the receiving end of this from Melinda when she finds out he left Winston stranded at sea instead of bringing him back to shore, which led to Winston becoming a werewolf.
Copernicus
Copernicus
A steam-powered robot Merlin found in the future to serve Unicorn as the one who brings its members back from the brink every time period to fight against the Evil.- Chest Blaster: His midsection opens to reveal either the Unicorn-empowering device or a cycling set of cannons.
- The Chooser of the One: One of Copernicus' main tasks is finding the Warriors Eternal through time and awakening them.
- Do-Anything Robot: He can create ladders from his body, shoot hooks, transform into bike and boat forms, and empowers the heroes throughout the generations.
- Extendable Arms: His arms and legs can stretch great distances.
- Eternal Hero: To contrast with the Eternal Villain that is the Evil. As Copernicus is a robot, he's effectively immortal and will always be around to bring the members of Unicorn back to life to fight the Evil, which is shown during the beginning montage of "The Awakening, Part 1".
- Intelligible Unintelligible: He can only speak in a series of hisses and whistles, but those of Unicorn who are awakened to their past memories can understand him perfectly. Emma/Melinda, however, cannot, due to her having no recollection of her past lives.
- Magitek: While most of Copernicus is normal (if improbable) technology, Otto describes him as having a power source that isn't man-made (and hence, beyond his ability to fix), and the Unicorn sigil that allows him to empower the heroes is obviously derived from magic. After Otto repairs Copernicus physically, he needs to be recharged using the Heart of the Forest belonging to the northern elves.
- Multi-Armed and Dangerous: He can sprout an additional pair of arms from his back to fight off opponents from all sides.
- Soul Jar: Acts as this for the heroes. Every time they defeat the Evil, he collects their souls and waits for the Evil to reincarnate, at which point he seeks out new hosts for them.
- Your Size May Vary: How large he is depends on the scene. In one scene, he'll tower over every other human character, while in another, he'll be only slightly taller than the fairly short Emma/Melinda.
- Your Soul Is Mine!: The Unicorn symbol can remove anyone's soul, not just those of the Unicorn warriors, though it appears that Copernicus either can't or won't do so without the other party's consent. This feature is used to swap Aelwulf into Edred's original body and later to infuse the souls of the warriors, Merlin, and Winston into Emma so she can wield all their powers at once.
Merlin
Merlin
- Voiced by: Jeremy Crutchley
- Ambiguous Situation: Did he truly love Morgan despite the fact she had "intentions" to use Melinda's powers for something?
- Big Good: Of the series as presumably the one who brings the warriors together and assigns Copernicus with finding their reincarnations.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: The other Warriors clearly don't have a favorable opinion of him. It's not unjustified, seeing as he left them to fight the Evil on their own while retrieving Copernicus and callously brushed aside the fact that Melinda could very well have been killed. Since his daughter accidentally caused his wife to become the Evil by revealing her dark powers to her, Merlin wasn't still over his scolding to Melinda causing the main conflict.
- Good Is Not Nice: He's the Big Good of the series, but he's also kind of a dick, dismissing Edred's concern that Melinda could have died while he was in the timestream getting Copernicus. Turns out he was still not over Melinda accidentally causing the whole conflict in the first place by infecting Morgan with her magic.
- My God, What Have I Done?: He has this realization when Emma calls him out on how he blamed Melinda (who was a child at the time) for what happened to her mother, Morgan.
- Psychological Projection: Emma makes him realize that in blaming Melinda for not being strong enough to prevent what happened to Morgan, he was projecting his own sense of failure onto her.
- The Reveal: He's Melinda's father, who was Morgan le Fay's husband until Melinda accidentally caused Morgan to become the Evil.
- Secret-Keeper: When Melinda was a kid, he had tried to hide her powers from Morgan because she would disapprove of them, but the secret was revealed when Melinda revealed she had used her powers to break into Merlin's room.
- What the Hell, Hero?: He's on the receiving end of this from Emma in Episode 7: When he blames Melinda for Morgan being overwhelmed by the Evil's magic, Emma justifiably calls him out on expecting someone who was a mere child at the time to be able to prevent something that even he, the greatest sorcerer in the world, could not stop with all of his power. This finally makes him realize how unfair he was towards his own daughter, and decides to make things right again by assuring her that she cannot be blamed for what happened.
The Evil
In General
An all-powerful, ever-malicious entity that has been in conflict with Unicorn for eternity.
- Ambiguous Gender:
- The Evil's gender is never made clear. The fact that its current incarnation is a female anthropomorphic fox makes it more complicated.
- Episode 5 confirms that the Evil was once Merlin's wife, Morgan le Fay.
- As Long as There Is Evil: As it's evil incarnate and thus will never truly die, it and Unicorn are destined to fight each other forever.
- Big Bad: It's the evil Unicorn's destined to forever fight against.
- Bishōnen Line: With every new iteration, it takes on a more concrete form that is more dangerous and cunning than the last, culminating in it manifesting as a fox capable of taking a humanoid form. In reality, it's likely a result of Morgan le Fay reclaiming more of her mind after each defeat.
- Eldritch Abomination: It appeared usually as a colossus of blue fire. Aside from that, and the fact that it’s evil incarnate, it’s hard to classify exactly what this entity is.
- Eternal Villain: No matter how many times Unicorn vanquishes it, it will simply return in another form. In the show proper, it's current form is that of an anthropomorphic fox woman.
- Evil Evolves: Its earliest incarnations were dragon-like giant serpents that mindlessly caused destruction. As the cycle repeated, it gradually took on different forms, such as a cyclopean monster. Eventually it incarnated as the Fox Woman, who works cunningly through many avenues to defeat the heroes like developing Mecha-Mooks, attacking before the heroes are awakened, and reanimating beasts as minions. Considering its original identity as Morgan le Fay, however, it’s not so much evolving as it is reclaiming what it once had lost.
- Grand Theft Me: It can somehow take over a victim's body with little to no warning. After the Fox Woman is dealt with, it takes over Otto's body before taking over Merlin's body all to get to Melinda.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: It turns out the Evil was formerly Melinda's mother.
- Expy: Of Aku as a long-lived, greenish, shapeshifting nemesis with a destructively whimsical streak.
- Not Quite Dead: Unicorn assume the Evil is defeated after seemingly slaying the Fox Lady, until it's explained to them that actually defeating the Evil would have caused their souls to immediately abandon their hosts, so the Evil is still active.
- Resurrective Immortality: The heroes can destroy it, but it simply reincarnates after a generation or two and their successors must banish it again.
- Villains Act, Heroes React: The Evil attacks, and in response Copernicus awakens the heroes to banish it for a generation.
- Was Once A Woman: Was originally the sorceress Morgan le Fay.
The Fox Woman (June Way)
The Fox Woman
Fox Woman's nine-tailed fox form
Fox Woman's monstrous form
- Voiced by: Grey DeLisle
- Affably Evil: She's rather polite for the latest incarnation of an Eldritch Abomination, even though most of the time she's still talking about destroying the heroes. In fact, she borders on Anti-Villain considering how none of her plans actually threaten the people of London, only the heroes themselves. Even when running away from the heroes, she takes more care towards avoiding needless destruction than they do. In-fact, most of the things Unicorn has to save innocents from are caused by their reckless actions, not hers. It seems her plans are preemptive attempts to survive being killed by Unicorn and live her life, more than the destruction of humanity.
- Ambiguous Situation: Her exact relation to the Evil is never fully revealed despite her powers bearing a strong resemblance to it. While her powers use a similar visual effect, a lot about her doesn't match up with other aspects of the Evil established before and after her role in the plot, such as being intelligent and capable of speech, to being able to enter and interact with the Cosmic Realm unassisted. To say nothing of the fact that defeating her did not release the souls of the heroes from their current hosts. Given that the Evil body surfs into Otto, Merlin and Seng after her defeat, it's possible she was originally just a kitsune who got possessed.
- Animate Inanimate Object: Her power can not only animate the dead, but control non-organic matter and give it life.
- Asian Fox Spirit: In the mortal realm, she takes the form of a humanoid fox woman, and can shift into different forms as required. In the cosmic realm, she appears either as a cute fox spirit or a more monstrous gigantic fox form to do battle.
- Beat Them at Their Own Game: She decides to take Unicorn on in London with steam-powered robots of her own. That said, while seemingly easily repaired, they prove themselves to be inferior to Copernicus, unable to even damage his armor while Copernicus blasts all three apart with cannonballs.
- Combat Stilettos: Despite sporting a pair of high heels in her humanoid form, she's capable of impressive feats of acrobatics and close quarters combat, easily evading the Warriors across the rooftops and fighting the cops sent after her.
- Dumbass No More: The previous incarnations of the Evil have been mindless beasts. This version, however, is far more intelligent and cunning.
- Fox Folk: Her fox head is hidden by the shadows made by her hat and parasol (with silhouettes of her curved snout only appearing when she isn't facing forward); only her head seems to be fox-like as her body is mostly humanoid, allowing her to pass off as human and blend in.
- Hartman Hips: Her hips appear to be extremely wide, as befitting of 1800s London, and they sway them quite a lot when she walks and even when repairing one of her damaged robots. However, it's also possible that her dress is simply containing bushy tails.
- Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: She wears a beautiful dress yet is capable of fighting with magic and martial arts without issue.
- Killed Off for Real: She's taken down halfway through the season, but her disappearing doesn't really mean the Evil is truly gone, as she's only an avatar connected to it.
- Killer Rabbit: Her normal appearance is that of an adorable multi-tailed fox. Even so, she's dangerous.
- Kung-Fu Wizard: Despite being a Squishy Wizard against Unicorn, she displays impressive martial arts skills when she fights against the cops.
- Necromancer: Her power can raise the dead, which she uses to bring back deceased sailors in her Ghost Ship trap.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Zig-zagged; she tries to stop the Unicorn reincarnation cycle by destroying Copernicus while he lies dormant. But since her mooks aren't up to the job, Copernicus destroys them and then reawakens the heroes in response. However, because she attacked early, the process was imperfect, awakening the heroes before they were ready and making them weaker than they would have been as adults, giving her a chance to win this time around.
- Poke in the Third Eye: She can project her consciousness into the same astral realm that Alfie can access, where she attacks him while her minions fight him in the material world as a two-pronged attack.
- Raising the Steaks: She is able to animate the corpse of Lulu the elephant with the energies of the Evil and send her to kill Unicorn.
- Sinister Silhouettes: For the first two episodes her face remains hidden with mostly her Silhouette telling she's not human.
- Shadowed Face, Glowing Eyes: Her face is shrouded in shade made by her hat and parasol. With only the green glow of her eyes being visible, we only get silhouettes of her fox head in certain shots before her proper reveal.
- Shapeshifter: Her default form is a fox woman, but she can change into a smaller fox form to fit through tight spaces.
- Squishy Wizard: She’s an extremely powerful sorceress but physically weak and prefers to send her minions to fight for her. When Unicorn confronts her directly she spends most of the fight hurling spells and running away, and when Emma finally lands a hit on her, she goes down quickly.
- Sugary Malice: She monologues like a whimsical fairy godmother, but said monologues are mostly all about killing Unicorn.
- Symbiotic Possession: May be Sharing a Body with the Evil.
- Villains Blend in Better: By the time of the present in the setting, she's well-adjusted and unnoticed. Meanwhile, the heroes are more conspicuous and disruptive in society, least of all due to their trouble with their powers, and draw negative attention from local authorities.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Seems to die halfway through the first season before anything substantial can really be learned about her, despite her seemingly having interests apart from the Evil's will to cause chaos, and having a lot of potential backstory to cover.
- Wrench Wench: She fixes one of her own broken robots herself in her introduction. Given that episode 6 reveals her robot henchmen were created by Otto and she knew the location of his flying base, it's very likely that he taught her how to do it.
Lulu the Elephant
Lulu
A deceased Elephant brought back to life by the Fox Lady. Lulu was a famous creature, beloved as a pet given to the Prince of England by the Majaraja of India in life. In death she's a rampaging zombie focused on the newly awakened warriors.
- Animal Gender-Bender: "Lulu" is a feminine name, but she sports a pair of long tusks that only male Asian elephants have.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: She's easily double the size of an actual elephant, almost about as tall as the buildings she's seen next to.
- Body Horror: Lulu is basically a giant rotting carcass, with a Sickly Green Glow and such gruesome details as her front right foreleg being stripped down to nothing but bone.
- The Brute: When Copernicus destroys the initial force of robots send to destroy him, the Fox Lady reanimated Lulu as an Implacable Man. She's strong enough to not only decimate her own tomb into a crater, but tank pretty much everything thrown at her until Emma/Melinda causes an explosion with her magic and leaves nothing behind.
- Friend to All Children: She is certainly still beloved by kids despite being dead for a while, and considering her goal is to destroy the Unicorns, she notably doesn't attack Alfie when given the chance after he gets distracted and stops grappling her with his power. Later fights show the Fox Lady's other minions, in contrast, do not particularly care that he is still a child.
- Starter Villain: The reanimated Lulu is the first threat that the reincarnated warriors fend off together.
Undead Sailors, Captain, and the Ghost Ship
A crews worth of drowned sailors and their ship, reanimated by The Fox Lady. She pretends to flee on the ship to lure the Unicorn Warriors into a barrier as they slowly drift out to sea.
- Body Horror: Similarly to Lulu, they're waterlogged corpses in various states of decay who've been brought back to life. Some of them look so bad that they hardly look like the ever could've been human in the first place.
- Blow You Away: At its strongest, the Ghost Ship manifests a maelstrom in its hull strong enough to push Emma/Melinda to the brink and force her to use her magic.
- Genius Loci: The ship itself is also has a malicious force behind it too, able to manipulate the planks, ropes and artillery its comprised of.
- Keystone Army: The Ship and the Sailors are powered by the barrier that entraps the heroes, once its destroyed, the sailors all drop dead again.
- Zerg Rush: The sailor's biggest strength is just how many there are, even with Copernicus, they just don't stop until the barriers gone.
Morgan le Fay (UNMARKED SPOILERS)
Morgan le Fay
- Voiced by: Peta Johnson
The sorceress from Arthurian Legend herself, who has the honor of being not only Merlin's wife and Melinda's mother, but the original source of the Evil. In fact, she is the Evil, as she accidentally became it after attempting to wrestle Melinda's powers away from her.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Zigzagged. In many versions of Arthurian lore, Morgan le Fay was a notable villain who desired Lancelot and held a special hate for Guinevere, along with being a contributor to the eventual death of King Arthur. No other characters from Arthurian legend are present in the show save for Merlin, with Morgan depicted as a somewhat doting mother towards her daughter until learning she has magic. However, Morgan's first appearance, in the writings of Geoffrey of Monmouth, had her as a benevolent healer aligned with Merlin before being subject to Adaptational Villainy in later tellings, so her portrayal here is actually closer to the original depiction of her as a good guy or at least to the versions in which she was more of a Wild Card than a straight villain.
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: She and Merlin were not married in Arthurian legend, much less on the same side in most post-Monmouth versions.
- Ambiguous Situation:
- Her initial appearance is full of this, as she flip flops between a motherly demeanor towards young Melinda and trying to take her magic by force when her daughter disobeys. Considering there seems to be some kind of monstrous consciousness to Melinda's power that takes her over, she might have had good intentions or learned the hard way that Evil Is Not a Toy.
- When directly asked in a Reddit AMA,
Tartakovsky stated that "Morgan is not the Fox Lady". But rather than elaborate further, he just said, "stay tuned".
- And I Must Scream: Is trapped as the core of the Evil and powering its wicked deeds. It's a terrible fate and she begs her daughter to kill her in order to stop it.
- Gone Horribly Right: When she learned of Melinda's magic, she insisted on taking it from her, fearing what it might do to her. Whatever entity she sought to protect Melinda from took the opportunity to jump hosts and take over Morgan. She kept her daughter safe, true, but at the cost of freeing a malevolent entity that was, at least at the time, safely contained.
- Good All Along: In the sense that she isn't in the driver's seat regarding the Evil's actions. It's revealed that the Evil is actually using her in order to keep itself alive.
- I Cannot Self-Terminate: Morgan has been trapped in the center of the Evil, forced to power it while it spreads destruction. When Melinda reaches her, she begs Melinda to kill her to stop the Evil for good.
- Magical Barefooter: She is a powerful sorceress who goes without shoes, as evidenced by her feet being bare when she levitates.
- Mama Bear: Possibly. She insists on trying to take her daughter's magic, claiming it is for Melinda's own safety. However, Merlin ominously claims to know her "intentions" when he justifies hiding the fact that Melinda has powers from Morgan, suggesting her motives may be more selfish than advertised.
- Poor Communication Kills: Like many other characters in this series, if she fully explained why she needed to take Melinda's power when she was young instead of trying to force the issue and insulting her daughter for being disobedient, she might have not earned either Merlin’s distrust and made Melinda refuse to give it up. Seeing as how the shape of a serpent (a form the Evil takes now) shifted over to her, there may be a good reason for trying to take her daughter's magic.
- The Reveal:
- She's the original version of the very Evil that Unicorn has been fighting against for eternity.
- It turns out she's still alive within the core of the Evil, but is being used as its heart so it can stay alive. Learning about her still being alive is what motivates Emma/Melinda to rescue her in order to put an end to the Evil for good.
Other Characters
Emma's Parents
- Voiced by: Ron Bottita (Lord Edward), Rosalind Ayres (Lady Katherine)
- Adults Are Useless: When Emma is kicked out of the Cosmic Realm and back into their home, they insist she's gone mad instead of remembering the earlier events with her awakening, and even call a doctor upon her thinking they're helping her.
- All There in the Manual: Their names are Lord Edward and Lady Katherine Fairfax according to the end credits.
- Brave Scot: Lord Edward has a Scottish accent and bravely tries to defend his daughter from Copernicus.
- Good Parents: Towards their daughter Emma. Even with the drastic changes Emma has undergone, they still only want to protect her and are despondent by her disappearance, even if Lord Edward acknowledges that what she's become isn't the same girl they raised.
- Something In My Eye: The first scene of Emma with her parents shows Lord Edward trying to stop himself from crying, but it's really because he's allergic to the flowers in Lady Katherine's hat. He still sheds Tears of Joy afterwards.
- So Proud of You: Katherine tells Emma that she and Edward are proud of their daughter for finding true love in modern times before the wedding.
- That Thing Is Not My Child!: Downplayed with Lord Edward. Despite pleading with Emma to stay when she returns home in episode 3, he's also aware that she's not the daughter he once knew, a suggestion that briefly horrifies his wife.
Winston
- Voiced by: George Webster
- Arbitrary Skepticism: He takes most of the supernatural encounters he gets mixed up with in stride, but for some reason he refuses to believe that elves are real, despite Edred being living proof that they are. Not even becoming a werewolf makes him fully believe in the supernatural outside of werewolves. Once he's also taken to the Cosmic Realm, he's horrified (literally whimpering as a dog) that things are indeed very real.Winston: This isn't science-fiction. This is science-horror!
- Childhood Friend Romance: With Emma. They were even almost married before Emma was reincarnated into Melinda.
- Cursed with Awesome: Being a werewolf is this for him, because now he can be with the possessed Emma and protect her without being The Load himself. He begins to see the downsides of it when Edred points out that while Melinda’s possession of Emma is temporary, his curse is permanent.
- Determinator: He will do anything to help Emma, even somehow follow her and the Warriors to a ghost ship where he'll no doubt be put in peril. He is even determined to control his werewolf transformation for Emma and succeeds in maintaining some level of sanity after reuniting with her.
- Giver of Lame Names:
- When he tries to come up with a new name for Emma/Melinda, he stumbles a lot and can't even take it seriously.
- Later, he attempts to do it again when Emma suggests everyone's spirits merge into her to form a single entity, but the many people involved makes his new name even more ridiculous.
- Green-Eyed Monster: In “What Lies Beneath”, when he sees that Edred is interested in Emma he gets quite jealous. He quite literally fits the "monster" part after getting turned into a werewolf, and his mind only really goes feral whenever Edred pushes his romantic rivalry with him.
- Hidden Depths: Post werewolf transformation. While his love and concern for Emma is still prime, we get to learn more odds and ends about him as a person outside of Emma. In addition to being/having been a recreational soccer player/footballer, which was learned beforehand, we also learn that Winston is something of a nerd. He's enthusiastic about the idea of playing chess, and is shown to be something of a fan of speculative science fiction literature.
- Kick the Dog: Has a moment of this in the flashback, while he was justified to think poorly of the football team that won by playing foul against his - being glad their orphanage was shutting down is disproportionate. Ironically enough he becomes a Wolf Man and gets called "a dog" by Edred.
- The Load: In “What Lies Beneath”, he wants nothing more than to help Emma, but he can’t do anything about the zombie sailors or the sea monster and gets left behind on a piece of driftwood. He doesn’t seem willing to give up trying to help, though. This makes him see becoming a werewolf as a plus, despite how worrisome it is that, under normal circumstances, this makes him unnatural.
- My Instincts Are Showing: He takes becoming a werewolf as the best thing in the world because he can be like Emma/Melinda that he's completely discarded almost all social etiquette and excitedly wonders if the future will have him with a litter of wolf pups rather than just human babies.
- Naked People Are Funny: Transforming any time into his wolf form makes him shred all clothing, even Copernicus's metal diaper.
- The Nose Knows: Being turned into a werewolf gave him a superhuman sense of smell, even in his human form.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: He gets bitten by a werewolf on a fishing vessel during the full moon and seems to succumb to the moon's curse soon afterwards. He later shows up in "Darkness Before the Dawn" as a somewhat mindless werewolf until he apparently manages to keep some sort of sanity around Emma/Melinda unless Edred pushes his buttons too far.
- Satellite Love Interest: There isn't really anything to his character outside of him being in love with Emma. His personal interests aside from Emma are elaborated on more after he's turned into a werewolf.
- The Sixth Ranger: Invoked. He sees his lycanthropy as a way to be as different as Emma-possessed-by-Melinda so they can be together and makes that an excuse to be "part" of the team, much to the chagrin of Edred, who says they're not looking for recruits. Seems to have become official as of "The End of the Beginning."
- Took a Level in Badass: Becoming a Wolf Man allows him to keep up with the supernaturally empowered members of Unicorn, while he was previously just an unimpressive if determined human man.
- Too Dumb to Live: Though he tries to help Emma with her situation, there are moments where he really shouldn't stick his nose in. Notably, he gets on a boat, sees it covered with blood and claw marks and the obvious silhouette of a wolfman, on a full moon night, and approaches it anyway. No prizes for guessing what happens.
- Understanding Boyfriend: Despite Emma insisting she's no longer herself, Winston tries to help her any way he can. This gives him a leg up in winning Emma/Melinda over once they perform a Fusion Dance and have both women's memories; his genial attitude and patience with her predicament makes her prefer him over Edred's possessive pushiness and insistence that she's only Melinda.
- Vocal Dissonance: When he isn't snarling and growling, Winston in his hulking Wolf Man form still maintains his rather soft and overly formal pitch.
- Wonderful Werewolf: He eventually learns how to be in control of his Wolf Man form, speaking fluently and acting like a Big Friendly Dog towards Emma.
Inspector General Hastings
- Voiced by: Gildart Jackson
- Agent Scully: Keeps insisting all of the supernatural happenings are just trickery done by a gang of spiritualists. He wisens up a bit following his encounter with the Fox Woman.
- Ban on Magic: Once he decides a "gang of spiritualists" been terrorizing London with fake supernatural events, he arrests everyone claiming to practice magic or spiritualism of any sort, whether they're legitimate or a fraud.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Downplayed but it seems his level of competence varies depending on how motivated he is to deal with a particular problem.
- He is quick to poke holes in the Reawakened's story, exposing to them how Wrong Genre Savvy they are, but his skepticism makes him dismiss a direct lead to the actual plot of the show.
- When an old sailor claims a giant squid attack was caused by a "Magical Fox Lady", whom he followed to her lair in an abandoned cathedral, Inspector is quick to question how a man with Seadog Peg Leg was able to chase someone all the way to the opposite end of the city. The sailor turns out to have been paid off by Otto to send the cops after Fox Woman. However, when forced to try to capture Fox Lady by the Mayor, Inspector disregards all safety protocols, mocks his men for worrying their target will hear them coming and spends the investigation on a bench, eating a pie, just to show what a colossal waste of time he thinks this is.
- Police Are Useless: His disbelief in magic is the main reason why the police are not only of no help, but actively try to hunt down the Warriors.
The Reawakened
- Voiced by: Tara Strong (Clarice Leydoux), Alain Uy (Lao Xi Sheng)
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: They're very resourceful and are very close to Crazy-Prepared territory thanks to their training and devices that could make anyone mistake them for the real Unicorn team, but at their core, they're two very excitable people who have developed Fanboy tendencies to their legacy.
- The Chosen Wannabe: They prepared and trained their entire lives to be chosen as the next reincarnations of Unicorn only for Copernicus to pick Emma, Alfie and Dimitri instead. This doesn't stop them from gladly aiding Emma when she seeks them out for help.
- Fanboy: They're not any less wacky than they appear. The two can't really go a minute without squeeing when they have a chance to experience the supernatural from up-close and can just whisper the word "legendary!" multiple times when they get to visit the hidden land of the elves.
- Generation Xerox: Invoked. Clarice and Lao Xi model their appearances around Melinda and Seng respectively.
- Heroic Lineage: Clarice is the direct descendant of Saint Genevieve, who was picked to be one of Melinda's reincarnations, and Lao Xi's third generation grandfather was a reincarnation of Seng.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: They're under the impression that being descendant of previous reincarnations meant they were destined to also be chosen, seemingly unaware that whatever method Copernicus uses to pick new reincarnations doesn't involve family lineage.
Otto
- Voiced by: Jason O'Mara
- Ambiguous Situation: Otto gladly helps the Unicorn Warriors in fixing Copernicus, even if he can't actually reboot the robot, but at the same time clearly is more familiar with the Evil than he lets on, since he rats her out to the authorities and she knows he was responsible for betraying her.
- Cool Airship: His home and main factory is what happens when you cross a steampunk airship with the Death Star.
- Killed Offscreen: He's found in the wreckage of his ship. Alfie/Seng can only call him a corpse now.
- Schizo Tech: His inventions and products are clearly cutting edge for the time period but some border on impossible such as Dashwood, his robotic butler who is not only automated with full voice box but evidently artificial intelligence as well.
- Shout-Out: The color of Otto's labcoat and gloves seem to be referencing a certain other genius created by Genndy Tartakovsky.
Aelwulf
- Voiced by: Jack Bandeira
- Amazing Technicolor Population: He has blue skin, like his brother and the rest of his species.
- Big Little Brother: Zigzagged. He is shorter than his brother Edred pre-reincarnation, but taller than he is after Edred's reincarnation into Dimitri, a much shorter human. He then possesses Edred's original body as a gambit to get Edred out of staying in the forest, making him even taller.
- Mystical White Hair: Sports these.
- Pointy Ears: Customary for his kind.
- What the Hell, Hero?: He calls Edred out for abandoning his Arranged Marriage to run away with Melinda, as his actions severed the Unbroken Line that was keeping the Heart of the Forest alive, which caused the forests to slowly wither away, which in turn caused the Elven tribes to descend into nonstop civil war.
Rakshasa
- Voiced by: Sunkrish Bala
- Beast Man: His form is similar to how Rakshasas are depicted in Dungeons & Dragons, a bipedal tiger man.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Despite his perpetual scowl and appearance falling in line with depictions of villainous Rakshasas in fiction, this one is a good guy.
- Gaia's Vengeance: He initially teams up with Merlin to get rid of Otto's robots destroying his jungle.
- Heroic Sacrifice:
- Both before the battle with Otto's robots and with the Evil next episode, he and Merlin discuss this trope and admit being ready to die in battle. His body did die in the first battle, but his spirit exists in the Cosmic Realm now.
- Once Emma returns to the Cosmic Realm in "The End of the Beginning," she learns he went all out on the Evil but succumbed to it.
- Magic Knight: Merlin treats him as an equal in power, but he isn't a slouch in direct combat either.
- Our Ghosts Are Different: His body was killed by the Evil but he still exists in the Cosmic Realm.
- Panthera Awesome: A bipedal tiger-man.
