- Mechakara is a robot from an Alternate Universe where Linkara's Robot Buddy Pollo turned evil, killed him, and robots overthrew humanity. Arriving in this universe, Mechakara intends to steal Linkara's Magic Gun so he can harness the power of magic and crush the remaining resistance on his world. His plans revolved around sending Linkara into a mental breakdown; and, when that fails, he captures him and plans to kill him slowly, simply because his death went too fast the first time around. During the Silent Hill Dead/Alive videos, Mechakara slowly Mind Rapes Linkara into thinking he's the long dead man who tortured his son to create the Magic Gun and almost convinces him to kill himself. In To Boldly Flee, Mechakara passes himself off as Linkara and infiltrates the USS Exit Strategy, intending to kill the entire crew with the help of the forcibly assimilated Todd and Nostalgia Chick. Mechakara would later assimilate the crew of the Caelestis space station and drained the life force of one astronaut in an attempt to recharge the ship. Only working with others when his goals coincide with theirs and perfectly willing to kill them otherwise, Mechakara is fueled only by his hatred for Linkara and all organic life forms.

Working with their sect to forge a weapon capable of smiting their enemies, the two had Mark in the first place so his very life essence could be used to power the Magic Gun. When Mark turned 13, his parents assisted in a ritual that saw their son tortured and tormented, laughing at his sobs of pain. When Mark's blood and soul were drained into the Magic Gun, his parents immediately wielded it in the hopes of using it to kill in their god's name. The two showed no remorse when confronted by Mark's vengeful spirit, believing their actions were fully justified even as they succumbed to madness and death.

The only one of its kind capable of understanding fear, the King had its visage scarred by the alien emotion and set out to master fear, initially so it could heal its face. However, the King soon began to covet its power so it could subjugate its fellow Outer Gods, sending its clockwork servants throughout the multiverse to learn more about fear. Coming across a world that had never felt strife or pain, the King introduced nightmares that drove the populace insane and caused them to violently butcher each other; the sole survivor was granted restored sanity by the King, who built its first throne upon their despairing soul. Upon learning of the Entity committing suicide, the King abducts Linkara so it can shred his very soul to learn what fear drove its elder cousin to kill itself, intent on spreading this fear "to every being, everywhere, forever."

After his digitization into The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Matt came up with the idea to use the Father as a tool to destroy all of World Alpha and remake it as a nightmarish hellscape in his own image. To do so, Matt manipulated Sarah into activating the 4th Day glitch to release the Father, twisting World Alpha and killing its dozens of inhabitants before trying to dispose of the girl.

Ignoring the threat of a gate to Hell opening, Vordenberg has Lophiiformes killed, all to make a name for himself.

After Laura starts a resistance against him, Vordenberg has Theo betray them and kill Danny. He has the other board members shot before preparing to behead Carmilla, in front of Laura and their friends, taunting them all to their faces while doing so.
