  • Badass Bookworm: She can recite many of the works of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley by heart.
  • Berserk Button: Do not call her or her kind "Fairies", or you will find yourself on the wrong side of her wrath.
  • Eagle Land: She finds the United States and Enlightenment principles it was founded on to be among Humans' greatest achievements even despite some initial short comings (e.g. slavery), especially compared to the chaotic place and time Post Roman Britain. This even gets represented in humorous thought sequences where she appears dressed in a manner similar to Wonder Woman and as a gender flipped Captain America.
  • Fragile Speedster: Double Subversion. While she can use barriers to protect herself, she can't hold them up indefinitely.
  • Friend to All Living Things: She believes in the sanctity of all life, even Devils, and will refrain from killing unless it is necessary to protect herself or her family and friends. Even after that, she tends to pray for forgiveness to her patron Goddess Dôn for such actions of self-defense.
  • Gosh Dang It to Heck!: In contrast with Arthur, the closest she comes to using any sort of profanity is her catch phrase of "Oh, Baltics!" when she gets irritated.
  • Humans Are Flawed: In contrast whereas Arthur dismisses the possibly that humans can change their ways, Viviane takes a more nuanced view of humanity.
  • What Measure Is a Non-Human?: As a non-Human in a Human dominated world, she is frequently confronted with this issue.

  • What Could Have Been: Before Viviane was conceived, the Proto-type for Arthur was originally paired with a half-demon character admittedly based on Hellboy. The author decided to scrap the character in large part because it was too blatant a shout out and decided to retool it in development to have Arthur doing more of the fighting rather than acting in a Brains and Brawn duo. Thus Viviane was eventually created as a replacement so to complete the Catholic, but not exactly pious, Arthur with a Virtuous Pagan counterpart. Though she was originally be magic practitioner who worked for S.A.L.E.M., but later discarded that by having her be a Tylwythian and renaming the organization she worked for.

  • Deliberate Values Dissonance: Tylwythian society, regardless of specific geographic region, was generally polyamorous, which creates ends up having some complications in the future.
  • Humans Are Bastards: Had this view to some extent, but the Lake's and some other Humans' generosity and kindness convinced her this view was unjustified.

Members In General

  • Alchemy Is Magic: Alchemy in this series is the study and application of Quintessence.
  • Anti-Magical Faction: One of two, the other being the Puritanical Mystic. There is also the lone wolf Jihadist Asad Al-Namur.
  • The Atoner: The organization as a whole, while Mystic in contrast is a major aversion in its unrepentant crusade for xenocide against sapient non-humans.
  • Badass Creed: Two of the Knights Inquisitor's are: "In Hoc Signo Vinces" and "Longinus tantum ut Deo et perforabit". The latter translates as "Only Longinus may pierce God".
  • Badass Normal: The case for many of the other operatives of the organization who aren't Paladins.
  • Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Saint Thomas the Apostle was an Alchemist in secret, Saint Peter (the first Pope of the Catholic Church) was the protector of secret knowledge, Guy Fawkes was a rouge member of the Knights Inquisitor who happen to get involved with an assassination plot against James IV and I of Scotland and England, and Dante Aligheri and Bartolomé de las Casas were also a secret members.
  • Beware the Superman: Replace "superman" with suppressing the existence of sorcery, supernatural creatures, and arcane objects and that would be a good description of one of their main mission.
  • Black-and-Gray Morality:
    • While the Organization may use some underhanded methods to maintain The Masquerade, but compared with what would happen if Devils were to have their way, it wouldn't be pretty.
    • Also worth comparing the Knights Inquisitor to their long time enemy, Mystic, whereas the former is willing to allow and even protect Supernatural beings that do not harm Humans, the latter seeks to destroy ALL Sentient Non-Human beings and establish a global Puritan Theocracy, which they have plotted since the downfall of the English Commonwealth since 1660.
  • Church Militant: Not part of the Catholic Church's hierarchy, but under its civilian control.
  • Cynicism Catalyst: Many members of the organization have this kind of background.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Though the outfits of the K.I. is Black and other dark colors, the vast majority of its members are genuinely seeking to do good.
  • Detect Evil: By Discernment of spirits.
  • Excessive Steam Syndrome: Deliberately used by its members to prevent any on lookers from being able to see any supernatural beings.
  • Fictional Document: The Secret Gospel of Thomas (not to be confused with the apocryphal Gospel of Thomas which actually does exist).
  • He Who Fights Monsters: The case with a few of its former members who go rogue, but the Organization does take some counter measures to prevent this if someone is either about to or is suspected to do this.
  • Insistent Terminology: Magic is defined by the organization as an "unauthorized alteration to the natural world beyond means of rational Human means". Acts of Miracles, being the intervention of the Creator and thus authorized, are exempted.
  • Mini-Mecha: Has some of these, but they are strictly reserved for world wide emergencies or direct attacks on the HQ.
  • Our Souls Are Different: Quintessence; Used by Intercessors employed by the Organization. Quintessence comes in two forms: Holy (When infused with Blessings and Dark (When infused with Magic). Despite the names of these varieties, this does not mean that Light Is Good and Dark Is Evil. Members of the Knights Inquisitor (And Mystic and all other followers of the Abrahamic Covenant) exclusively use the former due to the Contract.

  • I Have Your Wife: He takes Lionel as bait so that Albion can take joy in killing Viviane as revenge by proxy against the Tylwythians, along with the forces of Brutus of Troy, for having killed him and his kin. Subverted in the case of Anna as he had no part in that one.
  • Manipulative Bastard: In regards to what he wishes to manipulate Albion into doing to achieve his own goals.
  • Revenge by Proxy: He found that he was too late to kill Luther for imprisoning him, so he killed his wife and Arthur's mother in his place. This act of betrayal, during which he was posing as a child, is part of the reason Arthur chose to join the Knights Inquisitor.
  • Shout-Out: "Tonight, the age of man comes to an end."
  • The Starscream: Variation in that he is seeking to resurrect and serve Albion and use his boss Magnus as a pawn to achieve that end.

Eventually, Nennius (the founder of the Pendragon Clan) challenged and killed him, but was willing to spare its corrupted soul to use it as a power source given the Vatican based Knights Inquisitor were gradually destroying sources of Nature/Pagan-based divine currents.

  • Our Gods Are Greater: The Ése are greatest he believes.
  • Pet the Dog: In exchange for fulfilling some of his requests, he has agreed to leave them their own realm to rule personally.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: In-Universe example in regard to his opinion regarding Humans choosing to reject some of the traditions of the past in favor of comfort and civilized life, which he regards as Bread and Circuses, and thus inhibiting the improvement of humanity under the reign of nature as intended by the gods.
  • You Killed My Father: Double Subverted in that he holds no grudge against the Pendragon clan for killing his father Woden, but was angry rather that his death came at the hands of mortals rather than a fellow deity.

    Mystic 

  • Absolute Xenophobe: Mystic towards anyone who isn’t Human with no exceptions in contrast to the K.I.
  • Anti-Magical Faction: One of two, the other being the Vatican-based Knights Inquisitor. There is also the lone wolf Jihadist Asad Al-Namur.
  • Battle Cry: (When against members of K.I.) "To Damnation with Ye Papist!"
  • Black-and-Gray Morality: Whereas the Vatican based Knights Inquisitor is satisfied with its position and is willing to allow supernatural beings to reside on the condition that they harm no one, Mystic in contrast seeks to exterminate all sentient non-humans and impose its will on the world via a global theocratic Commonwealth.
  • Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Richard Cromwell, Lord Protector of England from 1658-1659, founded the organization and its leadership included other members of the government of the English Commonwealth who later fled to the New England Colonies. Some of the Founding Fathers of the United States were secretly members of Mystic. Another notable member was author H. P. Lovecraft.
  • Equal-Opportunity Evil: Subverted. J.V.K. is against allowing non-whites, or "Cainites" as he calls them, positions of leadership and only allowed non-whites to join because of Galeotto's threat of withdrawing financial support to Mystic.
  • Expy: Of the Tribulation Force and real-life Puritan Commonwealth.
  • Hero-Worshipper: They tend to revere Oliver Cromwell in a manner similar to how some Americans honor George Washington and Southerners for Robert E. Lee.
  • In-Series Nickname: More like in series insult, one for them is "Pharisees" given to them by Arthur.
  • Knight Templar and Tautological Templar: They are adamantly opposed to any form of moderation and ecumenism. See Black and Gray Morality above for other details.
  • The Moral Substitute: Mystic certainly views itself as one in contrast the Vatican based Knights Inquisitor.
  • Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: A rare reversal of the usual heroic idealism and villainous cynicism portrayal with the villains, in this case Mystic, are the idealists (of the unyielding extremist variety) and K.I., the main heroes, embodying cynicism (though more as pragmatic, reasoning moderates).
  • Think of the Children!: Used to exploit a moral panic to Mystic's advantage
  • White Anglo-Saxon Protestant: The core of Mystic's leadership and, until recently, the majority of its operatives.

  • Arch-Enemy: For Viviane, at first in the events prior to beginning, who was not happy when she attempted to kill him back for trying to kill her then-love interest Luther. He also serves as one to Arthur as well, but in a more ideological rather than personal way.
  • Back from the Dead: Viviane though it was the last of him in the events prior to beginning of story when she killed him during 1980s.
  • BFG: Cromwell.
  • Blade Below the Shoulder: Via his Pricker Gauntlets.
  • The Fundamentalist: And he isn't timid in proclaiming his Protestant "moral superiority" over his Catholic rivals.
  • Hidden Depths: He is one of the most dangerous demon slayers ever, Galeotto's personal bodyguard, and... can make a damn good omelet.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: He was based on actor Vincent Price, more specifically the character of Matthew Hopkins from the movie Witchfinder General.
  • Politically Incorrect Hero: He despises sentient non-Humans, non-Protestant Christians (especially the "Devil Worshipping Papists"), and, to a lesser degree, is prejudiced against non-whites. Though he very gradually comes to reject racism.
  • Really 700 Years Old: Actually 375.
  • Red Baron: Hopkins has the aliases of "The Demonfinder General" and "The Red Cross Knight".
  • Worthy Opponent: As much as he and Arthur despise each other, they do at least respect each other's skills and prowess.

  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Protectress has no understanding of concepts such as love, compassion, justice, evil, ambition, greed, or anger. It's only goal is to follow the directive given to it by its creator, God, to purify existence of anything that can corrupt Edenian design (namely being demons and excess Quintessence). The only problem is that now Quintessence use following the Second World War, when the Knights Inquisitor and its rivals took many the Sachsen Society's Alchemical creations and research, increased dramatically thus causing it to have reawakened from its dormancy.
  • Darker and Edgier: Along the Lines of "Future Tense", an episode of Gargoyles.
  • Diabolus ex Nihilo: It is introduced in media res and its origin isn't thoroughly explained until near the end.
  • Eldritch Abomination: Subverted as it was merely an illusion by Loki the trickster.
  • Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: The Protectress has an attribute that is superior to both Holy and Dark Quintessence.
  • Evil Counterpart: Or rather a reversal of Demiurge of Gnostic cosmology in that whereas the Demiurge sought to create and control things, the Protectress seeks to purify by means of destruction.
  • Gone Horribly Right: It's divinely given directive is to purify existence of anything that can corrupt Edenian design (namely being demons and excess Quintessence).
