Pantheon / Hunters and Slayers

Go To

For those who have an interest in seeking out various things, this house has many things covered. Taking the form of a gigantic hunting lodge, this hall is fully stocked with all the equipment a god needs to hunt down their chosen prey, be it standard animals, monsters, or even certain types of people. That said, in order to hunt more dangerous game, a license and dedicated training are required to ensure the safety of the less dangerous members of the Pantheon.

Overdeities

    Hircine 
It is time for my hunt, and the Pantheon is to take part.

Hircine, Daedric Prince of the Hunter Role Reversal (The Huntsman of the Princes, The Father of Manbeasts, Hungry Cat, Alrabeg the Hunter, Gulibeg the Quick Fox, Hrokkibeg the Mighty Bear, Storihbeg the Manbeast, Uricanbeg the Great Stag)

  • Within the island of Solstheim there lives a tribe of Nords known as the Skaal and in their folklore there exists an event known as the Bloodmoon Prophecy. Once every era when werewolves hunt throughout the lands, when a pillar of flame erupts over a lake of ice, when Horkers are slaughtered along the coastlines, and when the moon turns blood red is when the Daedric Prince Hircine’s Hunt is brought to Mundus. None embodies the sport and glory of the hunt better than Hircine whose very realm, The Hunting Grounds, has this going on forever. But he is not without fairness. Indeed, in his hunts and even in his realm the prey are given the sporting chance to survive or even turn the tables on the hunters (slim as they are) since if they weren’t then it isn’t a true hunt to begin with. For example, to the few mortals who get a chance to face Hircine he does not fight with full power but in a weaker form as it would be virtually impossible to best him otherwise. This is how the Nerevarine was able to defeat him and end the Third Era’s Bloodmoon.
    • This is also true with his werecreature followers: When transformed they are more often than not the predators, tearing apart anyone unlucky enough to cross their paths due to intense bloodlust. But when in their normal forms they are in turn hunted by those they once preyed upon, usually by factions dedicated to hunting them like the Silver Hand.
  • Though polite, doting lord and father over his followers who is respectful to those who prove their worth this does not mean Hircine is benevolent. He's still Daedra, after all, and they don't operate under the morality mortals follow. Once, when a man summoned Hircine the Prince said that to prove his faithfulness he must hunt his children and when the man denied the request Hircine destroyed the cave, turned the family into trolls and decided to hunt them all anyways. Speaking of Daedra, he's not the first Daedric Princes to have claimed some amount of influence in the Pantheon, Hermaeus Mora having been here long before Hircine. They stay out of each other's way seeing as though their spheres aren't in conflict with one another.
  • The creation of lycanthropy and the diseases that cause it is very much attributed to Hircine. While werewolves often come to mind, often glossed over are the werebears, wereboars, werevultures, werecrocodiles, supposedly weresharks, etc. Unlike the Daedric Prince Molag Bal, who simply created vampires as a massive "screw you" to Arkay and only involves himself with them once in a while, Hircine actually looks after his werebeasts whether communicating through dreams or claiming their souls to partake in the Hunting Grounds after they die. To him, it is his gift to mortals and though the other werewolves in the Pantheon aren’t really his, he looks over them regardless. Fenrir Greyback is one such werewolf favored by Hircine, who isn't at all against his monstrous nature. As a result, many other ascended werecreatures don't return the affections if he's willing to let someone as depraved as Fenrir into his fold, not that Hircine minds.
    • Interestingly, he doesn't have any ill will towards vampires and his werewolves don't really have any sort of conflict against them either barring certain individual cases.
    • Not everyone sees the ability to become werebeasts as a 'gift'. Hircine was furious when he heard how Remus Lupin sees his blessing while Remus hates the fact that someone as vile as Fenrir is praised by Hircine for his monstrous nature. While he’s still pondering what to think over the existence of a Hug Wolf being a more affection form of his gift, Hircine was still offended that Finn cured his lycanthropy. Finn meanwhile has it out for the Daedric Prince after he decided to go and order a hunt on his brother Jake and another one on Marceline thinking they'd make great game.
    • Having heard of the Daedric Prince through Hagatha when he keeps sending hunters to go into Witchwood, Vincent Godfrey utterly despises Hircine for creating werewolves and though he can't do much to the Prince himself he's glad that he's already earned the Prince's enmity through his dedication to kill each and every one of them. The Hunter and Ludwig aren't are no allies to the Huntsman either due to their own troubles with werewolves in Yharnam. It doesn't help that Hircine actually affiliated himself with the Moon Presence, wanting to encourage the hunts even further.
  • Has five different forms he can take on when dealing with mortals. First is a humanoid man known as the Hunter; Alrabeg, who not only participates in hunts and represents guile but is also perhaps Hircine's most well known aspect of them all. Second is a speedy canid known as the Quick Fox; Gulibeg, who uses its inherent speed to trick opponents into falling into certain doom. Those who have their own wit may find themselves lent some pointers by the Quick Fox. Third is the Mighty Bear; Hrokkibeg, who simply seeks to rest. Disturb him, and you'll be torn to tiny ribbons with his strength, but if you show respect he'll be nice right back. Fourth is the Manbeast; Storihbeg, who is assumed when Hircine wants to interact with his werewolf progeny. Lastly, the fifth aspect is the Great Stag; Uricanbeg, who appears either to cull the weak within herds or if he is on the hunt for a mate.
    • After Hircine's bold claim of being the Deity of Hunting in the Pantheon (which was mostly directed to Artemis and Erastil), many deities like to point out the similarities between his Hunter aspect and Erastil, mostly due to the deer head thing going on. Still, the difference in alignments was made clear and oppose each other.
    • Hircine once encountered Xerneas while he took the form of the Great Stag. Witnessing the Life Pokémon evade and fight off gods greedy enough for immortality (despite the redundancy of being gods already), they struck a conversation. Having witnessed it pull off Geomancy and a Total Party Kill soon after, Hircine praised the Pokémon for turning the tables on its pursuers. Xerneas, however, was cautious of the Daedric Prince and for good reason as it wouldn't be out of the question for Hircine to suddenly dub Xerneas "the Hare" and hunt it soon for a time. After hearing the encounter, the Nature Preservers quickly took note that while Hircine is strongly affiliated with hunting and nature that doesn't make him any less dangerous.
    • After accidentally stumbling onto a shrine depicting Hircine as the Hunter, Mordecai and Rigby immediately turned the other way since they thought the deer that tried to hunt them while camping with Margaret and Eileen was back, only that he was god this time around. Hircine clarified that no, that deer-man was a different entity and they all would of been slaughtered if it was him. While Eustace was out camping with Muriel and Courage, Eustace saw an outline of Hircine. Thinking it was the deer that both tried to hunt him and embarrassed him on a game show he tried to take the opportunity to finally take revenge. While Courage and Muriel escaped, the old farmer was found riddled with spear wounds. He got better soon after.
  • Like all Princes, Hircine has his own set of artifacts. As the Hunter, he has been known the wield both the Spear of Bitter Mercy and the Spear of the Hunt though the former is more famous despite its mystery. One legend surrounding the Spear of Bitter Mercy is that when a Nord hunter named Thane Icehammer unknowingly used it to kill werebeast Hircine personally stabbed the Nord with it whereupon the tip remained inside and soon drove Icehammer insane. There's also Savior's Hide were in common legend was a gift to the very first and only mortal to have survived and escaped the Hunting Grounds, made from the hide of Hircine himself. Though only the curiass is found nowadays, it grants the wearer resistance to magic (or vulnerability to it but protection against oathbreakers, it depends). Lastly is the Ring of Hircine, which can grant the wearer the ability to control one's werewolf transformations or the ability to become one if they weren't one already. The Dragonborn came (or rather was cursed) into possession of it to help out a remorseful werewolf and depending what they decide to do, Hircine may of rewarded them his ring without the curse or the aforementioned Savior's Hide.
  • Because of the Daedric Prince’s devotion to the hunt and those worthy of his time, Hircine has little care for the grand conflicts in the Pantheon. The times where he does it’s only when his sphere overlaps somehow, such as when he needs to hunt down new query. While fascinated by many of the House of Beasts and Fauna's wildlife gathered throughout all time and space, he'll hunt sapient life as well if he so chooses. Given the general populace of the Pantheon, it isn't as quite rigged towards the predators as before which pleases Hircine. While generally quite fond of the House of Hunters in general — having given the likes of Rengar, and the Monster Hunters praise for their skills — Hircine took special note of the Yautja's representative god, Scarface. He waits to face them when the Pantheon's Bloodmoon arrives in the Pantheon, win or lose.
    • That being said, the Daedric Prince has shown visible disdain for the YHVH. This is mostly due to being threatened by a Daedric Prince not unlike the Absolute Lawmaker; Jyggalag, Daedric Prince of Order. His power was that much of a threat that all the other Daedric Princes (including those not originally Princes like Malacath) cursed Jyggalag into perhaps the worst punishment possible: He was transformed into his polar opposite, the Daedric Prince of Madness Sheogorath. While Hircine has little to worry about YHVH due to no longer being an active force, that hasn't stopped his hatred for those like Him such as Yaldabaoth and Zelenin. The hatred is returned as Daedra themselves represent change, in other words the chaos to their law.
  • He’s much more cautious around the more tricky deities in the Pantheon thanks to one fateful encounter with Sheogorath. The story goes that the Daedric Prince of Madness challenged Hircine to prepare a champion to do battle with his in three years. When they met again, Hircine came with a Daedroth inflicted with lycanthropy. A were-daedroth, if you will. Sheogorath came with... a songbird. The bird won because Hircine’s champion tore itself to pieces trying to hit the thing. Even though he hasn't tried his hand at making something like the were-daedroth since that defeat apparently he doesn't want another suffer another hit to his pride, which is something people like Loki and Xingo are capable of doing. This thankfully means the Pantheon won't see something as fearsome as a creature like that any time soon.
Take my token, and wear it well. Hereafter, take your prey, and whisper my name.

    Protectors of the Plot Continuum 
The Protectors of the Plot Continuum, Divine Organization of Mary Sue Hunters
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ppc_4751.jpg
Agents Jay and Acacia
  • The organization as a whole are Overdeities, and it's necessary in order to keep Sues under control. Most individual members range from Demideities to Intermediate.
  • Symbol: The PPC Logo
  • Alignment: Lawful Good as a whole, though at their worst they may slip into Chaotic Neutral due to losing their sanity over time during their careers.
  • Portfolio: Mary Sue Hunters, Running The Risk Of Becoming Like What They Are Hunting, Using any means necessary, Preparation Varies, The World as Myth, Massive Multiplayer Crossover, Requiring a bit of knowledge in source materials, Deconstruction of fanworks, Not giving up in their mission, Genre Roulette, Using technology powered by stabilized plot holes, Metafiction
  • Domains: Hunting, Creativity, Continuity, Narrative
  • High Priests: The Anti-Cliché and Mary-Sue Elimination Society
  • Allies: The SCP Foundation, The Men In Black, Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, Terry Pratchett, Cosmos, Lieutenant Mary Sue, Dream of the Endless, Ichigo Momomiya, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Ryotaro Nogami/Kamen Rider Den-O, Rintarou Okabe, Ahiru/Princess Tutu, Rika Furude, Peacock, Pinkie Pie, Meteora Osterreich
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Malal, Cthulhu, Lambdadelta, Popuko & Pipimi, ZONE, Master Hand and Crazy Hand, Deadpool, Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith
  • Enemies: Barbatos, The Anti-Monitor, Lord Fuse, Melkor, Lucifer, YHVH, Nekron, Merged Zamasu, Galeem and Dharkon, Tabuu, Polygon Man, SCP-173, BEN, Bernkastel, Herr Drosselmeyer, Altair
  • Currently Surveying: Haruhi Suzumiya
  • Okay with: Shiroe, Akatsuki
  • The PPC is a strong organization of multiple Agents, tasked with the capture and extermination of Mary Sues. Their work over the years granted them a position in the Pantheons. At first, they were a little irked considering their Department of Implausible Crossovers dealt with nonsensical crossovers but when they see that a considerable number of characters actually got along perfectly fine, they ultimately gave in.
    • Every agent packs a Mary Sue Litmus Device, which detects whether or not the person is a Sue note note note note note note note .
    • They have decided to kick out the Disgraces from the Pantheons entirely, seeing them more of a trouble than they're worth (and after getting a rude wake-up call from how people on the Isle of the Lost are treated). They're one of the few to remember them. They have also retconned the Fallen (not just the Transformers villain) as well, though not completely since their treatment were not as bad as the Disgraces.
  • Their role in the Court of the Gods are the pursuers of alleged Sues. In essence: They investigate potential Sues, and they prosecute them with the help of the Senior Attorneys. donk-donk.
    • Nowadays, the Sues and the Realm of the Castaways are brought to a near non-existent minimum, which they are grateful for. But since they fear that more will come, the Protectors requested of Gygax and Arneson to be official Perimeter Guards of the Pantheons. The request was accepted and that's where the Protectors have been ever since.
  • The Organization finally ran a Litmus Test on Lieutenant Mary Sue and found that she passed. This let her escape out of their hellish custody and land her own Temple in the sub-house of Protagonists. Mary is forever thankful for them, and aids the PPC in their missions against the bad-fic Sues as a full-fledged member.
  • They have been trying to fend off SCP-173 since it has proven to be a troublesome annoyance for them thanks to 173's powers. Luckily, they are not alone as the SCP Foundation teamed up with them to contain 173 for longer. They also help keep up Masquerades around the Pantheons as not everybody takes being a fictional character too well. The same goes with partnering with the Men in Black; it helps that the MIB loaned neuralyzers to the Protectors to aid them in keeping the stability of the plot continuum.
  • To gain more allies in maintaining the plot continuum, they have made partnerships in Sir Terry Pratchett and Dream of the Endless, who gave them help should the Sues be more of a hassle than usual; it helps that their stories are inspired by Pratchett's which makes him get along with them easier. The Protectors also partnered with Ichigo Momomiya, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson since their followers often made a lot of Wish-Fulfillment stories with them and their friends in it; Harry is grateful that he's allied with them so that he can get away from a certain Ebony Raven Way...
    • They have made a diplomatic alliance with Cosmos, who supports their endeavors in their mission to maintain the continuums and that they'll make it in spite of their dysfunctional work environment. The other GUA leaders are obviously unhappy about this since for Melkor and Lucifer, fewer Sues mean less intervention from the GUAG and less freedom for every being respectively, YHVH is angry that a lawful organization refuses to cooperate with Him and Nekron is pissed that the entire universe is one step farther from destruction just by extermination of Sues.
    • Of course, when there are allies, there are also enemies as well. Enemies that threaten The Multiverse like Barbatos, the Anti-Monitor and Lord Fuse are on their shitlist since they can potentially screw over the plot continuum if left unchecked, and the same goes for crossover villains like Galeem, Dharkon, Tabuu and Polygon Man with Galeem and Dharkon nearly destroying the Pantheons since their arrivals. They have better opinions on Master and Crazy Hand, though their ideas of maintaining order in the place clashed a lot with the Protectors quite often; Crazy Hand finds it a shame that he'll never be friends with some of the PPC's chaotic members because of this.
    • They hate BEN for not only his usual threat but spawning endlessly terrible OCs that serve to fulfill every horror fangirl's wet dream which some are trying to intrude into the Pantheons. Surprisingly, even BEN agrees he doesn't like his Fangirls too much.
    • Rick Sanchez and his grandson, Morty Smith often intervene in their missions. He does more harm than good since he's not there to kill Sues, he's there for getting materials for his experiments. Rick mostly doesn't care for them while Morty tries to at least smoothen their relations... well, emphasis on "tried".
      Rick: Come on, Morty! I don't have time for their 'kill all Sues' bullshit. That's on them! *burps*
    • Because of her potential to disrupt all of space-time and the plot continuum, Haruhi Suzumiya is currently being surveyed by the PPC to prevent that. Kyon almost feels like it's a violation of privacy for him and the others, even though it's still necessary to keep her unaware of the Pantheons' true nature.
  • Malal was tasked to keep the Disgraces from coming back by keeping them in Retconnian. He threatens time and time again that he'll do anything to become canon again, which is why he has a rocky partnership with the PPC. On the topic of the Disgraces, it seems that Ryotaro Nogami and Rintarou Okabe were also aware that the Disgraces once existed due to being a Singularity Point and having Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory respectively; thus they cannot be affected by continuity changes, both space-time and plot-wise. Because of this, the two became liaisons of the PPC to not let word get out of the Disgraces' former existence (not that they want to anyway).
  • Being from a metafictional story, the PPC allied themselves with Rika Furude and Ahiru and made enemies in Bernkastel and D.D. Drosselmeyer; Ahiru knows about story conventions since her previous adventure and Rika joins them just to have a chance against Bernkastel who violated norms of stories to give readers crises about what they love. Drosselmeyer abuses his characters and even his son just to make his story interesting which normally the PPC gloss over but can't this time because he has bent enough fictional laws to do so. Lambdadelta might not be a helpful ally to the PPC, because she would rather see them getting hilariously hurt by Bernkastel instead though she will help if Bernkastel's Trolling did go too far.
    • Meteora Osterreich provides a lot of help to the PPC, giving out exposition to them as per her original purpose. Altair nearly destroyed the real world of her universe in order to avenge her Creator, which makes her as guilty as the other villains they have faced before; even more so that she admitted to not even regret her actions towards the world.
    • Deadpool prioritizes doing whatever he wants over helping the PPC, though how much he's helping them depends on his mood. His other mates in the fourth-wall-breaking biz, Pinkie Pie and Peacock have better chances in providing cooperation; Peacock understands their situation fully since... well, she'll reference anything and Pinkie finds the Sues absolutely no fun since who would wanna like a perfectly perfect person?
  • The Protectors once had a procedure where they feed Mary Sues to Cthulhu in order to dispose of them forever, but the practice stopped once he became too full to eat them. Nowadays, Cthulhu doesn't want to eat anymore Sues not just because he doesn't want to be full, but also because the Sues left a lot of bad tastes in his mouth.
  • There has been numerous reports of gag manga characters being more powerful and bring more destruction than any other character, which led them to Popuko & Pipimi. Despite giving them warnings, the agents sent to do so got smacked hard the moment one of them said "subculture bitch"; they still admit they would give Sues a beating should they cross the girls' paths. The artist ZONE also got warnings from the PPC that her characterizations of other characters will bring in unnecessary OOC duplicates of ascended deities that can potentially swarm the Pantheons and cause endless chaos. She ignores them, forcing the PPC to prepare themselves for this hypothetical situation.
  • Surprisingly, they hold nothing against Shiroe, Akatsuki nor their creator despite said creator approving and implementing OCs into the Log Horizon canon. They reason that since they are rounded enough to be good characters, they are good in the PPC's book.

    The Dovahkiin 
"You should have acted. They're already here.
The Elder Scrolls told of their return.
Their defeat was merely a delay till the time after Oblivion opened, when the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood.
But no one wanted to believe... Believe they even existed. And when the truth finally dawns... It dawns in fire!
But... there is one they fear. In their tongue, he is "Dovahkiin": Dragonborn!"

  • In the grand continent of Tamriel, many creatures have paved great legends and myths, but few have done so in the same scope as dragons, powerful and destructive immortal beasts who crave battle and martial dominance. Yet this prideful nature caused most dragons to see themselves as superior to other races and attacked them with the intention of asserting a world ruled solely by them. Yet they were unprepared for a divine anomaly whose nature was the perfect counter to the dragons; a mortal with draconic blood and essence coursing through their body, this was the Dragonborn, a fabled being whose presence and reputation inspired great fear towards an otherwise infallible race. Known in the draconic tongue as Dovahkiin, they fought the dragons to stave them off from world conquest, even banishing their leader, Alduin, away to ensure their threat was neutralized. Yet after this, the list of people considered Dovah would dwindle until they were seemingly extinct… until thousands of years later when the World Eater would be released in the midst of a civil war in Skyrim, ready to continue his quest for conquest. However, this was part of a prophecy, for the Last Dragonborn would emerge, building up their powers and resources before finally confronting, defeating, and seemingly vanquishing Alduin in an epic battle. Also, the Dovahkiin would find themselves engaging in various quests, some of which involve resolving the Skyrim Civil War, stopping the machinations of a vampire lord, confronting the first Dragonborn, Miraak, discovering hidden mysteries and treasures scattered across Skyrim, and building their own home and starting a family.
  • As the Last Dragonborn achieved a reputation that can only be described as legendary, many have come to see him as a hero to the lands of Skyrim while others were terrified by the sheer power he possessed in lieu of being the chosen of the God, Akatosh. Yet the Dovahkiin's fame and story would not just be restricted to the realms of Tamriel nor the otherworldly confines of the Daedric Princes. One day whilst traveling around the snowy terrains of Skyrim, he would catch a glimpse of a very strange-looking dragon with bright red and peach colors, who also took notice of him and attacked the Dragonborn, seeing him as a potential fight. The fight seemed to be in the dragonslayer's favor until a second green dragon suddenly emerged and immediately took aid with the other in combating their challenger. After a tough scuffle, the dragon duo decided to fly off in search of a new territory, with the Dragonborn giving chase. Little did he know, things were about to get very different as he quickly found himself in a very unfamiliar land quite different from his new homeland. Prodding around in search of questions and answers, he would learn that he had stumbled into a strange divine land known as the Pantheon and that he was made an ascended representative. After a while, he decided to continue his travels here, hoping to see if he could find further purpose here, which he would when he discovered that there were way more dragons, familiar and new, that had taken residence in the Pantheon, and there was more to learn about them. Sure there are other matters in the divine realms that he'll attend to in the event he's needed, but if there's a dragon that's either terrorizing the Pantheon or is in need of support, the Dovahkiin will always do his best to mark his arrival and take care of the situation.
  • The Dragonborn is an enigmatic individual. While famed as a legendary hero by the denizens of Skyrim, just what kind of person he is has been a subject of debate for many, though from what it seems, he is willing to take up offers to help other people in need if possible, yet he'll also waltz and scamper around like a buffoon and act like a kleptomaniac if he finds something he really likes. He can be compassionate to some people, provided they earn his respect and friendship and display undying loyalty, yet be incredibly ruthless and frightening to his enemies, and he's not afraid to be lethal, given their upbringing. The Dragonborn is a male Nord and has the physical and mental demeanor of what you'd expect for a Viking, but the details of his past are rather muddy and the earliest information known about him was that he was arrested for trespassing in Skyrim and was set to be executed in Helgen until Alduin's invasion halted that, allowing the Dragonborn to escape and eventually realize his destiny. From the looks of it, his personality and motivations are rather… colorful, to say the least, but a consistent is a desire to battle and dominate, a trait he inherits from dragons, given he possesses draconic blood in his veins and he's more than eager to engage in battle if he can, but the Dragonborn has made a strong effort to temper this warlike mentality and find himself excelling in other skills and finding value on other fields besides fighting.
  • The Dragonborn is one of the most formidable and famed warriors in the entire Pantheon. For one, he was prophesized to be the one to stop Alduin, already a demonstration of his great power, but throughout this journey, plus a couple more, he's accumulated such a vast amount of skills, abilities, and knowledge that it seems that he is a multi-talented master despite his main occupation of being a warrior. To elaborate, the Dovahkiin has mastery of all sorts of weapons like swords, axes, spears, daggers, bows, and more, he is deeply attuned to the arcane and can conjure all sorts of magical spells and incantations for either offensive, defensive, or supportive purposes, has access to all sorts of armor and equipment, is an expert in stealth and can carry out covert operations like theft and assassinations with little trouble, can be very persuasive and sharp in his communication skills, be skilled in alchemy and smithing, and he is incredibly determined and tenacious. But what truly makes the Dragonborn stand out is his relation to dragons allowing him access to the Thu'um, the language and tongue of dragons that could grant him ancient and advanced sorts of magic that could defy reality and comprehension in various ways once shouted. With these shouts, the Dovahkiin could say, blow away anyone, alter the weather, soothe and terrify animals, convey and tame a dragon, control an elemental ability, and perform many more abilities, a testament to just how powerful and fearsome he is and just why dragons and many more fear him behind just his ability to absorb draconic souls to empower himself.
  • As a being chosen by prophecy, the Dragonborn was compelled to meet with other heroes (and villains) with similar destinies, rationalizing that this approach would allow him to forge more alliances and potentially create a band of warriors who could dedicate themselves to ensuring the Pantheon's protection whilst also fending off vile beings who intend on either ruling and destroying the divine realms. After all, there is the prospect of someone chosen by destiny to thwart and ruin another individual's prophecy if they're not related. This led the Dovahkiin to Link and Princess Zelda where the two would appreciate the former's desire and willingness to help others and he and Link would eventually work together to disrupt another one of Ganondorf's plans for domination. It helps that Link has killed and befriended dragons before, though Link would assert that dragon-hunting isn't what they're assigned to do. The Dragonborn also became friends with the Pevensie Siblings, rulers of Narnia under the decision of their patron deity, Aslan, as they're rather fair and benevolent rulers who would rather treat their guests with respect, and the Dovahkiin was open to take services under them. Not to mention these are teenagers and young adults and he is just as nice to them as he is protective, especially with Lucy as the Dovahkiin found her politeness endearing as well as learning most of Narnia and communicating with animals from her, much to Lucy's delight.
  • Despite being famed for being a hunter for their kind, the Dragonborn actually has a more complicated and nuanced relationship with dragons in general. Furthermore, two particular dragons from his world, Paarthurnax, and Odahviing, are his heralds as the former, being the leader of the Greybeards recognized the Dovahkiin's intent to protect Skyrim and supported his cause while the former, despite serving Alduin, conceded to the Dovahkiin after a brief battle, openly came to respect the warrior and would turn against Alduin after the God of Destruction proved to be a coward. So while the Dovahkiin is treated cautiously by the Hall of Draconic Beings, they're some draconic beings who are open to accepting him, so long as the Dovahkiin doesn't suddenly act like a genocidal maniac. Additionally, he discovered that it was the Fire Wyvern duo, Rathalos and Rathian, that attacked him and who led the Dovahkiin into the Pantheon, but the two don't fight all that much as the wyverns are not evil monsters and more territorial animals who prefer to attack others when either hungry or feel their territory was being intruded, and it seems the Dragonborn was someone a Rathalos thought might have been an easy meal.
    • Compared to Skyrim, there were more benevolent dragons than the Dovahkiin would have expected, though first impressions were understandably frosty due to his reputation as a hunter of dragons. Things did get easier for him thanks to Paarthurnax and Odahviing being willing to communicate with these dragons and convincing them that so long as you don't pose a threat and respect him, the Dragonborn isn't a bad person to converse with and get along with. Eventually, some dragons would come to appreciate and like him for varying reasons like him being surprisingly compassionate and helpful, with Tiki and Falkor being among the first dragons to befriend the Dovahkiin and offering him a couple of equipment and notes to help them get more acclimated in the Pantheon, a friendly gesture that the Dragonborn accepted graciously. Others like Jake Long, Ryu, and Spyro, with their younger age, are quite enthusiastic about befriending a badass warrior with the soul of a dragon and don't mind tagging along in his adventures, willingly or not. Since then, the Dovahkiin finds their presence to be endearing and is more than happy to allow them to participate in his quests, even if some of their antics can be just as annoying as his own.
    • Of course, there are dragons in the Pantheon who are like Alduin; arrogant, feared, destructive, and above all else, evil. When it came to the more benevolent dragons, this is the crux of their supporting relationship with the Dovahkiin; they have a divine warrior who is as capable as he is willing to put a stop to their devious machinations in trying to either conquer or destroy the world, though there are some dragons whose alliances have since blossomed more towards genuine friendship. Still, it didn't take long for the Dovahkiin to learn about such draconic monstrosities like King Ghidorah, Deathwing, Acnologia, Grima, and Fatalis, all of whom equated with Alduin in terms of the scope of their malice, yet they intended to destroy everything to satisfy their hubris. Naturally, the Dragonborn was more than ready to take them on and would challenge them eventually and though those dragons quickly realized how much of a threat this hunter of beasts possessed, the Dovahkiin was equally surprised to see just how powerful these dragons truly were necessitating him to consider more allies and friends and build up his power and knowledge before taking them on. Fortunately, with allies like Lucina, the Dragonflights and a couple of other people who have fought dragons, he's content to know that he isn't alone and he'll continue to fight, even if he's partially motivated to prove himself the better fighter.
    • With his ability to tame dragons, he would come into contact with Hiccup, a dragon rider who held a close friendship with a Night Fury named Toothless. Amusingly enough, both were Viking-inspired individuals and the Dovahkiin would eventually see Hiccup as an equal when it came to their command over their draconic friends, though because of what they would want to focus on, they don't meet often. Things were a bit complicated when it came to a being known only as the Nameless King, who despite his siding with the dragons of his world, did not see the Dragonborn as favorably as others due to the latter's nature of being a dragonslayer and felt that he would eventually be of great danger to him and dragonkind at some point, with the only thing they could mutually agree on is opposing the more malevolent dragons in the Pantheon, Alduin included. The Nameless King's father, Gwyn, was a dragonslayer much like the Dovahkiin and respected the latter for his accomplishments and tenacity, but his alliance with a number of other dragons means an alliance between the two isn't possible. Still, Gwyn intends on watching over the Dragonborn discreetly mainly out of curiosity, and see if he can find a way to coerce him into his side, even if this means the Dovahkiin would have to betray a good deal of his newfound alliances.
  • The Dragonborn is one of the most famous hunters in the Pantheon, though he would personally refer to himself as a warrior seeking a good challenge first and foremost, with the additional habit of helping others. Still, it didn't stop him from encountering a collection of Monster Hunters who make a living in studying, researching, fighting, capturing, and slaying monsters though they'd have to have a good reason for why they do so. They and the Dovahkiin got along after the latter told them about his experience fighting a Rathalos and Rathian as his introduction to the Pantheon and even fighting a Fatalis at some point, the latter of which impressed many of the hunters, considering the dreaded and notorious reputation of the Legend of Schrade. Oftentimes, the Dragonborn will take favors from the Monster Hunters in hunting down or capturing whatever monster they need to deal with, with the added bonus of materials, resources, and money that he could use anytime. Davion, another dragonslayer infused with the essence of a powerful dragon named Slyrak, was similarly interested in the Dragonborn, even fighting against him to test his worth and becoming well-acquainted after their duel left them respecting each other's strength and tenacity. Ornstein and Smough were more ambivalent as they cared more about defending their domain than anything, forcing the Dragonborn to confront them directly out of curiosity. Although a fight broke out, the Dovahkiin felt that Ornstein, the dragonslayer, was a commendable foe and one he wished would have been good allies with, though his friendship with Smough was a nice touch. They do have conflicting thoughts on how to deal with dragons, however, as Ornstein is not hesitant to hunt down any kind of dragon, even good ones, which the Dovahkiin feels would be rather counterproductive, given how there are deadlier and more devious dragons to take notice of.
  • The Pantheon was once a gigantic battlefield consisting of many gods battling one another to assert some kind of new era for the sake of either the benefit of others, one's own ambitions, or to simply wipe the slate clean. The Dovahkiin seems to have arrived too late, seeing as the Pantheon had since become more placid and many of the godly leaders have since retreated to tend to lesser matters and further the development and advancement of the divine lands beyond just fighting. Although his desire for battle and destruction is strong and he will gladly challenge a worthy opponent if the opportunity ever presents itself, the Dragonborn is cautious and tempered enough to understand the value and importance of other things like smithing, making friends, and settling matters through diplomacy and offering aid to the needy, and is even willing to arrive and provide something in the field of advancing civilization and offering humanitarian aid if possible. Furthermore, the epic battles in the Pantheon's old days might have been a bit too chaotic for him to properly deal with if he had just gotten in the divine realms without prior knowledge of what was going on. He knows that Alduin ascended first, but that's not too much of a concern, especially given that he must have been preoccupied with fighting other threats and being stalled in his desire for conquest. Even then, his desire for battle remains strong and if there's someone who wants to fight the Dragonborn, he won't mind.
  • Despite his godly heritage, the Dragonborn would rather not involve himself with godly matters, instead wanting to pursue a lifestyle and adventures of their own choosing, though this didn't stop many gods outside of the Daedra and their neighborhood deities from having their own opinions; Cosmos respects him and his decisions and mainly overseeing him in case he needs her divine intervention if necessary, Lucifer similarly respects him for his power and being assertive about his choices, even if the Dovahkiin would not be in league with his intentions for the Pantheon, Melkor, YHVH, and Nekron see him as potential threats and Darkseid, taking notes from Molag Bal and Hermaeus Mora, thinks the Dovahkiin has a lot of innate potentials and seeks to find whatever means to coerce him into his servitude. The Norse Pantheon also took notice of the Dragonborn, comparing him to a Viking due to his Nordic ethnicity and his love for battle, with Odin, Thor, Freya, and Baldr being very complimentary of his accomplishments and his various virtues that include diligence valor, a desire for knowledge, and even feeling, accepting, and expressing love and loyalty, though Loki feels that there's more to him than just a powerful warrior with a great destiny and seeks to explore that potential for himself whilst being careful about directly confronting him too much. Naturally, the Dragonborn respects Cosmos, Thor, Freya, and Baldr more and is open to accepting and fulfilling whatever favors they ask so long as his friends and family are kept safe and he gets some good rewards. He's understandably cautious of the more evil and manipulative gods but is more than willing to challenge and fight them if he must. He personally hates Melkor the most, given how he's the one responsible for creating dragons in his world and how his influence has ensured all of them turn out to be vicious and malevolent monsters, feeling that such information doesn't sit well with him.
  • Next to Alduin, Skyrim's biggest strife and conflict came in the form of a civil war between the Imperial Legion led by General Tullius and the Stormcloacks who had Ulfric as their biggest leader and morale. Whichever allegiance the Dragonborn took, the overall conflict was immense and it seems that an end is nowhere in sight. As for the Pantheon, the Dovahkiin quickly became aware of how there had been a collection of Pantheonic Civil Wars between a number of factions who usually wanted power and control to assert their influence. Fortunately, most of these civil wars are by villains who often find difficulty in communicating with one another, much less aid in battle, so the Dovahkiin doesn't need to be in any rush or interest in these sorts of manners as, unlike the one in Skyrim that was determined by what some and others felt was the right direction and beliefs, these villains are too straight-mInded, coming up with silly reasons for war. The House of Military and Warfare is rather encouraging of the idea of civil wars, though it's mainly because a number of residents and deities are Darwinists who only want to see the strong prosper and see civil wars as a way to weed out weak fighters and leaders. As far as the Dragonborn is concerned, this is just too childish and immature for him to deal with and unless there is something personal at stake, he has no desire for war, and making it clear that he would rather desire fights against a commendable and equal for, not a large-scale conflict that would involve innocents in the cross hairs.
  • The Dragonborn has since come to learn a great deal about the many kingdoms and lands that have also been submerged into the divine realms since his arrival there and though it took a while, he would see himself making good alliances with them. Among the most notable were Karl Franz and Sigmar Heldenhammer of an Empire where the Chaos Gods threatened their world and threatened their kind, Alm and Celica of Valentia who were prophesized to unite the nations of Rigel and Zofia, and Aragorn of Gondor who united the Free Men and their allies in a final stand to defeat Sauron in the climax of Middle-earth's Third Age. While Karl, Sigmar, and Aragorn would forge an alliance after the Dovahkiin helped to provide for their people as a favor as well as clearing out any noted threats, Alm and Celica were hesitant at first as they were unsure what he would have thought of their patron deities, Mila and Duma as they were divine dragons. Tensions would loosen up when he stated that while he hunts dragons, he knows how to discern a benevolent and placid one from a truly dangerous and malevolent one and that he personally has nothing against the ruling couple even if they paid their faith to a dragon. It worked out well when the Dragonborn aided Alm and Celica in a draconic raid Alduin unleashed on Valentia, which allowed the two to conclude that the Dovahkiin is indeed willing to help out, and eventually, keep in contact with one another with Alm and Celica being thankful for his aid and him being willing to do it again if need be. While Mila doesn't have strong thoughts on him beyond just caution, Duma is interested in the exploits and reputation of the Dragonborn and actually welcomes him as a worthy challenge. It doesn't matter if the Dragonborn kills Duma, it at least lines up with the latter's belief of how strength would determine one's worth, and Duma could see him as a potential protector of Valentia if he so wishes.
  • Befitting of his race being northerners who dwell in windy cold weather and rocky terrains, comparisons with vikings were inevitable, though the Dragonborn takes this in stride as it means there are other races like the Nords whom he could relate and potentially get along with. The trio of Lost Vikings were among those who quickly came to admire the Dovahkiin for being an epic badass warrior and an epitome of strength and though their reputation of constantly getting lost has been irritating for him to deal with, the Dovahkiin has no issues with them admiring him and would try to help them out anytime they stumble across one another. A more serious and confrontational encounter came with Wulfrik the Wanderer, whose nature as a Norscan was not too different from the Nords, only that they worshipped the Chaos Gods and were not afraid of committing mass bloodshed in favor of their preferred god, Khorne. Despite his malice, Wulfrik personally liked the Dragonborn for his tenacity and power and challenged him a couple of times with Wulfrik even almost winning in some of them mainly due to the Dragonborn either making a retreat or a second party coming to his aid, but regardless of their scuffles, the Wanderer's respect for a fellow warrior remained intact and eagerly awaits another challenge, hoping that the next time is a proper deathmatch.. On the other hand, while Kratos was originally from Ancient Greece, his adventures in Midgard have made him very familiar with Norse archetypes and while he would be a very appropriate warrior for the Dovahkiin to clash his blades against, the two instead get along, with the Ghost of Sparta noting how the two have a knack of accepting favors and helping people, even if they aren't expected much. Similarly, Kratos's son, Atreus, is eager to learn about the Nords and the Dragonborn and has gotten into a few adventures with him in his spare time, with Atreus often offering bow and arrow support for the Dragonborn, plus giving him insight on what to expect for the Pantheon. Still, while they are on good terms, Kratos does wonder if the Dragonborn's need for battle would one day override his better senses, but is content in knowing that he at least tries to temper them for the sake of the Pantheon and for his sense of self.
  • Of course, vampires have taken an interest in the Dovahkiin, thanks to his involvement in a conflict between the Volkihar Clan, a coven of vampires led by Lord Harkon, and the Dawnguard, a collective of vampire hunters who aim to stop Harkon from realizing his goals of blotting out the sun for eternity, though regardless of who the Dragonborn sided with, he defeated Harkon and put an end to his dark ambitions. Even so, he's aware that there are good vampires, even if they were tainted by Molag Bal's malevolence and there are many in the Pantheon who are decent people in spite of their cursed biology. To note, the Dovahkiin is on good terms with vampires like Alucard, The Chosen Revenants, and Arcueid Brunestud, and is open to the idea of aiding them in repelling other evil vampires and threats. On the malevolent side, the Dragonborn has clashed his blades against Count Orlok, Strahd von Zarovich, two versions of Count Dracula, and the von Carstein monarchs, though it depends on the latter with Konrad and Mannfred seeing him as a threat to their ambitions while Vlad sees him as a noteworthy foe and would rather prefer either allying or voicing his support over him over his two sons. Abhorash, the founder of the Blood Dragons, has fought the Dovahkiin for the sole purpose of testing his martial prowess and challenging himself against a fellow dragonslayer, which the latter was welcome to oblige on. Despite this, Abhorash has a good measure of respect for his adversary and generally praises the Dragonborn for their strength and for giving him a good fight, to the point where they would even set aside their rivalry and fight together against a mutual enemy if necessary, even if this isn't going to deter their fights in any way.
  • He has experience with stealth and thievery, even being associated with the famed Thieves' Guild, who make it a point to steal valuables from deserving targets like the corrupt, slimy, and unpleasant, even if their actions and the thieves themselves can be unscrupulous. That said, they don't like to partake in murder unless they've been really slighted and the organization does become more softer once their leader is exposed as a fraud who didn't believe in the Guild's core beliefs. Even so. the Dragonborn has a pretty complicated relationship with them, though he does respect a fellow good-hearted thief, as proven when he met the famous Robin Hood, who makes a point of stealing from the corrupt rich to give to the poor and they quickly came to respect each other for their care and empathy towards the poor, even if the Dovahkiin can be pretty aggressive about other matters. He's also reached out to Cassim, Garrett, and the Cooper Gang, all of whom were impressed by how effective of a spy and thief the Dragonborn can be, despite his occupation as a warrior. Unfortunately, he's too caught up in a lot of other tasks to be directly helping his thieving friends, occasional idiotic moments aside, but if necessary, the Dragonborn will help them out as well as see if he could learn new tricks and techniques from them.
  • Alongside thievery, the Dovahkiin has all the tools and skills required to be a skilled assassin. And like the Thieves' Guild, he has a relationship with the infamous Dark Brotherhood, a coven of assassins who only seek to recruit the very best and the most unscrupulous killers they can get their hands on and prefer to keep themselves hidden from the public eye as much as possible to ensure they remain a shadowy myth that could strike fear into the mind of others, even if the Dark Brotherhood themselves have a presence in the Pantheon. Even so, the Dragonborn choosing to focus on heroics and helping others has caused friction in his relationship with the Dark Brotherhood, even if the latter would much rather have him under their services. More ironically, the Dovahkiin ended up befriending other, more "nicer assassins like Night Raid and the fabled Hassan of the Hashashin, who were able to forge an alliance to look out for any villainous forces to quickly neutralize if they got the opportunity. There is also the Assassin's Order, who have been able to learn more about Skyrim and Tamriel and even set up a hidden base in the former thanks to a partnership with the Dragonborn and using this newfound knowledge and alliance to look out for potential threats and to keep their worlds safe. There are some assassins that the Dovahkiin are wary of, such as the aforementioned Dark Brotherhood and the League of Assassins led by Ra's Al Ghul, both of whom are interested in the Dragonborn for their own ends, with Ra's seeking to recruit the legendary warrior to mold him into a servant of great power and as a tool to further his twisted ambitions, not caring that he would oppose the assassin leader as his prowess and reputation is enough to earn Ra's' one-sided respect.
  • To top his list of talents off, the Dragonborn is an archmage, capable of all sorts of magical spells, incantations, and a level of control over bending reality to his whims. He was given an invitation to be taught in a prestigious institution that specialized in magic, although their funds and resources were beginning to deplete due to various external and internal problems, this didn't stop the Dovahkiin from learning and mastering whatever magic he found interesting, coupled with his ability with the Thu'um to make him even more of a devastating spellcaster. Doctor Strange, who has some experience as a mage teacher, took notice of this and initially intended to keep a close eye on the Dragonborn, yet this would end up with them becoming good allies once the two were forced to fight together against Miraak at some point. The Dragonborn also learned about and tried to establish some sort of relationship with institutions like Hogwarts, the Colleges of Magic, and Luna Nova Academy, where he proved his worth by trying his hand at mentoring and teaching a couple of students about foreign magic and giving them notes on how to use defensive magic, eventually gaining him a couple of friends like Dumbledore, Teclis, and Ursula Callistis who could trust the Dragonborn in doing them a few favors regarding looking after certain students if he ever has time. On the other hand, he is disgusted to learn about the Seven Convents of Sorceresses, a witch academy established by the Dark Elves where their darwinistic beliefs are played to full effect; students are expected to be raised to kill, enslave, and assert control with force, with murder being an acceptable form of expelling students. This gave him further incentive to oppose Morathi, whom he saw as being much darker and depraved than most of the Thalmor, though the Hag Sorceress is only amused to see him be in opposition against her kind because of what they see as justified and acceptable.
  • Given his reputation as the hero of Skyrim and for finally ending the civil war that plagued the lands for years, it seemed natural that the Dovahkiin would find himself being associated with a couple of figures who have also similarly defended the lands from all sorts of threats. Strangely, his first encounters with Conan the Barbarian and Red Sonja were fights, with the former being more of a means to test each others' strength and although the Dragonborn enjoyed their fight, he and Conan would become well-acquainted and help each other out. The same thing applied with Sonja, though because the Dovahkiin defeated him, she offered him a chance to... hit it off together, though what he responded with remained a mystery. Among other friends, there was the Inquisitor, who made an effort to quell an escalating conflict between Elves and Templars even if both sides had legitimate grievances and issues with one another. He even got to encounter a sextet of kids led by someone only known as "Dungeon Master" and given how he feels about children, he was open to helping them out and giving them a place of comfort where they could rest and feel safe for once. He could relate to Bobby thanks to their shared passion for battle and is considering mentoring the boy so he can keep his aggression and rage in check. That, and considering his mastery of all sorts of talents, he doesn't mind teaching the kids in their specific class, hoping that with his knowledge, the six of them would be able to better handle themselves and be more adept in dealing with dangerous situations in their quest to return to their original home on Earth.
  • Given the nature of the Pantheon as well as his being involved in adventures and favors most of the time, the Dovahkiin ended up making a number of enemies that he would be content with, though that was an expected consequence of making specific friends. For specifics, his visit to Hogwarts and respect for Dumbledore ended up catching the attention of Voldemort, who boasted that he was superior to the Dovahkiin, a claim that was quickly challenged when the Nordic warrior did challenge and almost defeated him, forcing the dark lord to make a hasty retreat and drive him mad afterward. Others like Sauron and Malekith took him more seriously, if mainly because the former is determined to ensure he can deal with threats as preemptively as possible while the latter expresses interest in the Nordic warrior's draconic nature and would relish a fight against him to prove his might. It seems that with whatever he wants to do, the Dragonborn is not any further from going through perils and making new enemies, but his sheer power and his success rate have ensured that he's able to persevere and protect those he comes to like and care about. Of course, he's battled Ganondorf and Jedis the White Witch mainly because of his friendship with Link, Zelda, and the Pevensies and they were quick to realize that the Dovahkiin would be a big wrench in their plans for domination.
  • In addition to Skyrim, the Dragonborn's fame stretches much farther, well into other worlds. There, he is celebrated as a patron for player characters and even his various abilities with the Thu'um have been the subject of a humor phenomenon known as memes, something that he's understandably unfamiliar with. To boot, there are a lot of people who will proclaim the Unrelenting Force mainly to make themselves out as a badass and as their way to pay homage to the Dovahkiin and Skyrim. Not that he minds it all that much and Paarthurnax is rather amused at how the language of dragons has become a sort of kiddish play for some, though some of the Greybeards admit to being a bit embarrassed by the whole ordeal, especially after hearing how many were suddenly eager to use the Thu'um for the sake of it, which the Greybeards understandably declined on. Even more bizarrely, there was a "new kid" who claimed to use the Thu'um... through farts and would very often try to tag along with the Dragonborn whom he saw as one of his biggest idols. The two even fought against each other because the "new kid" wanted to prove his worth, though they ended up getting along. The Top Heavy Guy himself was a professed Dovahkiin fan, to the point where he cosplayed the Nordic warrior in a joke project and was really ecstatic to hear he was in the Pantheon, often trying to meet with him and wanting to get his Dragonborn Helmet signed (or marked) by the real deal. For the Dovahkiin, it was interesting to hear about all the praise and support he got from people beyond his world, though he's unsure of whether he'd be able to please everyone, considering the burdens of his own adventures and decisions.

  • Philip Wittebane was a regular human from the 17th Century with a brother he idolized named Caleb, and a dream of becoming the greatest Witch Hunter in the world. However, one faithful day, Caleb would cross paths with a Witch Woman from the Boiling Isles named Evelyn Clawthorne, and the two fell in love. Upon discovering this, Philip tracked the two down, and murdered his own brother, rationalizing it by declaring Caleb to have been corrupted by the Isles. Unable to accept how his brother had grown to reject the Puritanical ideals of Gravesfield, he set out to accomplish two things. Creating a better version of his brother by making Grimwalker clones of him and raising them to Philip's standard, and slaughtering the inhabitants of the Boiling Isles as revenge for "tainting" his brother and to "save Humanity from evil". His plan was set in motion by Philip seeking out a nigh-omnipotent Reality Warper named The Collector, and tricking them into providing him a Draining Spell to be used on all of the Witches and Demons in the Isles. To prepare the Isles for his genocide, Philip went about creating an alternate persona of himself that would rise to power under the guise of leading the Isles to salvation: Emperor Belos. However Belos's plans would end up being undone due to the arrival of one Luz Noceda in the Boiling Isles. After foiling the Day of Unity, Philip eventually returned to the Isles, and merged with them in a final attempt to kill Luz and the rest of the Isles' people before finally being slain for good.
  • Unfortunately, souls steeped in such extreme hatred have a way of sticking around. Chuck Shurley took note of Belos' extreme devotion to his fundamentalist interpretation of God, and saw in him an excellent Human lieutenant, subsequently setting into motion Belos' ascension. One fateful day, he succeeded and brought the Witch Hunter into the Pantheon. Belos was all too eager to follow Chuck's directions, being more than happy to kill anyone who diverted from God's plan, even other Humans whom Belos declares to be tainted by outside forces. Belos promptly made his presence known by putting on a kindly facade and duping a plethora of the less evil Demons in the Patheon to accept makeshift Coven Sigils that he promptly used to try and slaughter them. He very nearly succeeded, but was fortunately stopped by Bayonetta and Dante who did battle with the mad Emperor, a battle that ultimately ended with Madame Butterfly punching Belos back to his master Chuck, albeit after a long and bloody battle that left all three exhausted. The Court of the Gods took note of Chuck's new soldier and decided to accept him into the Pantheon, if only to keep an eye on him resulting in Belos ascending as the representative of witch hunting, and those who desire to be seen as heroes.
  • The Witch Hunter found an alarming number of kindred spirits within the Pantheon shortly after his ascension. His bigotry, manipulative abilities, and magical power quickly attracted the attention of Johan Schmidt, the Red Skull. The Nazi supervillain greatly appreciated Philip's drive to exterminate any and all Non-Humans, especially magical ones. The Red Skull offered an alliance which Belos accepted admiring Skull's talent for brainwashing his family members, being more than happy to provide his Magic to boost the Red Skull's devices for the sake of slaughtering all of their enemies. Another villain from the same world quickly earned Belos' approval: the Reverend William Stryker. Much like Belos, Stryker is an extreme fundamentalist who uses his religion as a justification for his monstrous actions, and desires nothing less than the genocide of a population with supernatural powers, and show no qualms against murdering any normal Humans who get in their way, even their own family members. Stryker is more than happy to stand at Belos' side as they plot the slaughter of all the people they find to be sinful.
    • HYDRA in general has also received substantial assistance from Belos with the resources he has available independent of Belos' alliance with Schmidt. Belos greatly appreciated the minds in charge of HYDRA who are happy to repay him with their own high tech resources for his personal vendettas. Another fascistic murderer figure that Belos forged an allegiance with is none other than Judge Doom. Even though Belos is a Toon, Doom is willing to accept his allegiance due to Belos attempting to slaughter nearly every other Toon around, due to them frequently having Magic. Doom is also interested in Belos' Glyph Magic as an alternative means of killing Toons permanently without risking Doom himself. Johan Liebert also likes Belos, admiring how there is no limit to the brutality of the violence Belos commits in pursuit of his goal of genocide, as well as his skill for mentally torturing his enemies, namely Luz and Hunter. While Belos doesn't appreciate Johan's embrace of his own cruelty, he does see Liebert's talent for mentally breaking people, wondering if it could be used to truly twist a Grimwalker into the mold that Belos desires.
    • Belos has managed to earn some surprising, but exceptionally horrifying allies thanks to his loathing of those he sees as being unworthy of living, his devotion to establishing order, and his service of Chuck Shurley. While the Mad Kai Zamasu would normally loathe a mortal who willingly uses unholy magics, the fact that Belos does so in pursuit of the utter eradication of the Demon Realm, while also killing any other Human who stands opposed to his work in the name of God has made Zamasu see Belos in a similar light to how he sees Light Yagami, as Demons are the only beings in existence that Zamasu hates more than mortals. The fact that Belos is the archenemy of Luz and Amity, both of whom represent chaotic forces of good, and the former of whom is capable of wielding the powers of the Demon Realm's God, the Titan, has made him more willing to work with the Witch Hunter, if for no other reason than to kill the Wicthes. For his part, Belos has little care for Zamasu's Zero Mortals Plan, thanks to Humanity being amongst its targets, but is willing to accept the Kai's might as he seeks to extinguish all life in the Demon Realm, thanks to Belos' quest earning him some very powerful enemies.
  • Philip was every bit as furious to see that Luz and Amity were in the Pantheon, as they were to see him alive once more. The couple and their friends, Luz in particular, proved to be the single biggest obstruction to Belos' plans for the genocide of the Boiling Isles, from helping to start a rebellion and circumvent the Day of Unity, to finally defeating him in his Titan powered form after Belos killed her only for Luz to come Back from the Dead in her own Titan Form. The couple is also the near personification of the things Philip loathes the most about the Boiling Isles, namely a romance between a Human and a Witch. Belos' own brother's love for his Witch partner was Philip's impetus to travel to the Boiling Isles in the first place, and as he was dying he ranted that Luz would become just as "evil" as her loved ones. Belos was all too willing to attempt to kill the two when they attempted to preemptively assassinate him, even showing more than a little bit of annoyance at the fact that his new Master warped the two Witches outside of his domain before either side emerged victorious. After the battle, Philip has made sure to begin crafting as many excruciating deaths for the couple as he can possibly imagine.
    • Naturally, any friend of Luz and Amity is a hated enemy of the Emperor. Anne Boonchuy, Sasha Waybright, and Marcy Wu are just under Luz and Amity on Philip's to kill list. Like Luz, the Calamity Girls all became the protectors of a world filled with Non-Human beings, with the trio becoming personal friends of many of the inhabitants of Amphibia, and is readying Petrification spells just for them. For their part, the three see Belos as actually being worse than their greatest foe, the Core, because Belos is just one man motivated by religious fanaticism as opposed to a Mind Hive. What's more, Belos is also directly responsible for Luz going through a death and resurrection, just like Anne did, in addition to Philip being capable of possessing people, just like the Core did to Marcy. The Plantar Family is almost as despised by Belos, as he sees them as being just like the Clawthorne family that he has spent centuries holding a grudge over. Just like the Calamity Trio, the Plantars see Belos as being as bad, if not worse than the Core.
    • Stanley Pines is rumored to be the Ex-Husband of Eda Clawthorne, one of Belos' most hated enemies. He was utterly appalled at the possibility that another Clawthorne had married a Human, no matter how brief said marriage was. Additionally, the entire Pines Family are wholly supportive of paranormal beings despite their negative experiences with the Supernatural. When they found out just how despicable Belos was from Luz and Amity, the entire Pines Family immediately declared him to be a monster. Like with Luz, Belos chalks up their sympathy for Non-Human beings to be a result of the influence of the Supernatural all around them, but even so considers them a lost cause in need of the "mercy" of death. As a result of his Demonic nature, Belos despises the Pines' archenemy Bill Cipher just as much. Belos sees Bill as being like the Collector, only fully aware of what he's doing and actively threatening Humanity. Bill considers Belos to be painfully boring, and had fun shattering Belos' body just like the Collector did, even if it doesn't actually kill Belos, and allowed him to assume his Titan Form in order to fend him off.
  • There is absolutely nothing Belos despises more than Witches and the concept of Witchcraft. Due to his Puritanical upbringing, Belos sees Witchcraft as the ultimate evil in existence, an evil that he murdered his own Brother over, and devoured the souls of thousands of innocent Palismen in order to extend his life so he could eradicate it. Learning that Luz and Amity were in the Pantheon had utterly enraged Belos, and learning of how many other Witch deities there were alongside them did not improve his mode even slightly. Other than Lumity, the Witch Belos loathes the most is Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch. Wanda's Reality Warper abilities make her the single most dangerous Witch in the entire Pantheon, and Belos has vowed to either turn her to stone... or possess her and attempt to use her Chaos Magic to kill off all Witches in existence. For her part, Wanda sees Belos as simply being the Red Skull with Magic and has vowed that if he ever tried anything, she will immediately erase him from existence. The two had a brief skirmish where they tested each other's powers with both being confident their full might or most powerful form is capable of killing the other.
    • Belos sees villainous Witches as being easy justification for all of his monstrous deeds, and while he despises them, he does feel satisfaction at the knowledge of the existence of people like Lord Voldemort and Maleficent. Voldemort's goals are extremely similar to Belos, but the targets of Voldemort's loathing are the exact reverse of the targets of Belos. For his part, Belos is fairly unconcerned with Voldemort himself due to being the much stronger magic user and his undead nature protecting him from the Killing Curse. Maleficent meanwhile is the epidemy of the Wicked Witch archetype. The Witch Hunter was more than happy to use her as target practice for his own magical attacks and present himself as a trustworthy hero when he first ascended.
    • Heroic Witches are some of Belos' foremost foes. Akko Kagari, Diana Cavendish, and Chariot du Nord were some of the first people that Belos managed to dupe into getting his makeshift Coven sigils and were nearly killed by them. Belos singled them out specifically due to how much the three remind him of Luz, Amity, and Eda respectively. The Luna Nova Witches responded by informing Belos' archenemies of his presence as they went to get their sigils removed. Bayonetta was champing at the bit to get another chance to punch Belos with all her strength, and to do so, she asked for an assist from Father Balder. Belos was appalled that Balder would side with Witches given his holy nature, and his revulsion turned to fury when he found out that Balder was Bayonetta's actual father. Balder considers Belos to be the same kind of monster that murdered his wife, and was happy to help give Belos a violent pummeling.
  • Belos has the incredibly dubious distinction of being the only deity to be banned from the Hall of Family and Relatives to have absolutely no sex crimes to his name. He achieved this through his murder of the Grimwalker Clones he made of Caleb. By the time of his death, Belos had killed his own brother hundreds of times over, utterly horrifying every deity in the Hall. This wanton slaughter of clones also earned the utter disgust of every single Clone deity in the Pantheon, especially the likes of Ben Reily, Kaine Parker, and Niko Kanna. The former two were merely two of dozens of clones of Peter Parker, and were disgusted at Belos' dismissal of the lives of the Grimwalkers. Niko Kanna understands the horror of being an Expendable Clone and is repulsed that Belos would make hundreds of them purely so he can have an idealized version of the brother he himself murdered.
    • The two Clones who despise Belos the most however, are Xion and Conner Kent, aka Superboy. Xion was purpose built to be nothing more than a duplicate of Sora so Organization XIII could gain control of the Keyblade while also serving as a vessel of Master Xehanort. Upon learning of her, Belos attempted to possess her as he did with the last surviving Grimwalker, Hunter. Xion managed to expel Belos from her body and then took him on with her Keyblade. She held him off long enough for Superboy to come to her aid. Superboy had already earned Belos' loathing for being a rebellious clone, just as the Grimwalkers were, on top of him being part Kryptonian. This loathing was only enflamed when Superboy managed to break Belos' concentration and save Xion from petrification. Before Belos could exploit Superboy's Magic Vulnerability, Xion entered one of her final forms and managed to force the Witch Hunter to withdraw.
    • Belos' despicable slaughter of his own brother and the Grimwalkers, whom he raised as his nephews until he murdered them, has earned him the vitriol of other villains in addition to heroes. Max Eisenhardt, better known as Magneto, already loathed Belos for his bigotry and his alliance with the Red Skull and Reverend Stryker. However when he found out about Belos' slaughter of his family, Magneto declared him to be in dire need of death, especially since unlike Belos, Magneto does have protective affection for his on/off daughter Wanda. Another villain that carries hatred for Belos due to loathing abusive parental figures is none other than DIO. DIO, as monstrous as he is, does have some degree of affection for his son Giorno whenever he interacts with Giorno, in sharp contrast to Belos. The Vampire Stand User promptly punched a hole straight through Belos' body, though Belos was able to use a large Light Glyph to drive DIO away in order to heal his wound.
  • It's nearly impossible to overstate the sheer hatred and vitriol that Belos holds in his heart for Demons and Witches. This is a man who willingly turned himself into an eldritch lich just so he could extend his life long enough to ensure he could slaughter the residents of the Boiling Isles, as well as receive acclaim for doing so. Upon finding out how many Demons and Magical entities there are in the Pantheon, Belos was fuming. Aside from Bill, the demonic deity he loathes the most is none other than Lucifer himself. Lucifer has made several attempts to bring Humans under his control, has enacted plots that would result in anarchistic Hell on Earth, and is just a living embodiment of chaos, something that Belos is utterly repulsed by.
    • Just because Lucifer is the demon that Belos loathes the most in the whole Pantheon, he is still more than willing to extend his vitriol to any other demonic entity or those who use demonic magics. One such monster that Belos regularly buts heads with is Toffee of Septarsis. Belos was initially willing to offer an alliance to Toffee upon hearing about how he loathed Magic. That thought died the instant Belos learned that Toffee wasn't actually Human, and was in fact the de facto leader of a faction of rebellious Monsters/Demons. While the Witch Hunter would normally be willing to just let Toffee destroy magic, he can't stand the thought of Toffee sparing Monsters from the planned slaughter.
    • Dante Sparda and Belos already despised each other, Dante for Belos' monstrous actions, and Belos for Dante disrupting his Draining Spell attempt in the Pantheon. Learning all the details of Dante's demonic heritage just disgusted Belos even more. Another demonic "hero" whom Belos loathes is Alucard of the Hellsing Organization. Alucard's chaotic and eldritch nature absolute disgusts the Witch Hunter, and he has vowed to slay the Vampire Lord with his Magic. Alucard loathes Belos for being a Human who willingly discarded his own mortality and converted himself into an abomination just for the sake of massacring an innocent population. The two did battle and though Alucard was unable to defeat Belos, he did touch his nerves by saying that Belos was more of a monster than he was.
    • On the Day of Unity, Belos was distracted by Luz and Amity's friend group including them, their friends Willow, and Gus, and the renegade Grimwalker Hunter. As a result of the actions of the so called "Hexsquad", Belos was nearly killed by the Collector, and the Draining Spell was disrupted. When he learned of another group of teenagers with Magic and Demonics known as The Phantom Thieves, he was less than pleased. The Phantom Thieves heard how he was a monster and dove into his Palace before Luz and Amity could inform them of how horrific a trip inside Belos' Mind can be. While the Thieves managed to escape safely, they were notably shaken by the experience of just how monstrous Belos really was, and they promptly declared Belos to be their foremost target to be taken down.
  • Belos holds nothing but the utmost respect for the Imperium of Man. The Imperium is effectively his ideal manifestation of Humanity, a holy crusade against any and all other races, especially those with substantial magic. He was almost giddy at the thought of standing alongside the forces of the Imperium in slaughtering the other races of the galaxy. In particular, he desires to stand alongside or possibly lead the Space Marines in their own Witch Hunting efforts against the Dark Elves, happily comparing the Imperium's fascist crusade of genocide for the sake of Humanity to his own. For their part, many figures in the Imperium greatly appreciate Belos' attitude and zeal for killing off anything that isn't Human and his extreme opposition to anything chaotic... but they dislike how Belos is willing to use the very Magic he despises, and warp himself into a lich in order to butcher the Demon Realm, especially since he made a deal with the Collector, even if Belos was the one manipulating the Child of the Stars.
    • Despite revealing himself to be a bigoted monster with his attempt to slaughter the Witches and Demons of the Pantheon, and making no effort to pretend he is anything else, he is still a very intelligent manipulator, namely due to his talent for telling people what they want to hear and lowering suspicion for himself. When Belos learned of Lex Luthor, and his own ability to manipulate people and get the sympathy of the populace, as well as Lex's hatred of entities he sees as being a threat to Humanity, he felt substantial respect for the business man, even if he felt Lex was too focused on amassing his own power than using it to "Save Humanity" to consider Lex a true ally.
    • Another Human opposed to Aliens whom Belos carries tremendous respect for is the Illusive Man. Belos sees the Illusive Man's efforts to advance Humanity through his resources in Cerberus as being a truly noble goal, and happily agrees with the Illusive Man's opposition to the other races of the Citadel. When he found how the Illusive Man was toying with Reaper tech that ultimately got him indoctrinated, it made him lose points in Belos' eyes but the Witch Hunter still approves of him regardless.
    • Even so, Belos doesn't agree with all genocidal Humans. Belos sees Eren Yeager as a devil worse than Witches since he led an extermination of humanity outside of Paradis Islands, wholeheartedly agreeing with the views of humanity in that world that Eldians are devils that should be exterminated. Eren tells him that he has room to stand on, since he also sacrificed his humanity to commit genocide, and notes that while he did what he felt was necessary to protect his people, Belos committed genocide purely for the sake of satisfying his own bigotry, and desire for acclaim by other Humans, with him being willing to kill other Humans who view him as being monstrous. Belos merely replied that you "can't reason with crazy".
  • Upon discovering that Caleb had journeyed to the Boiling Isles to be with his newfound love Evelyn, Philip leaped into the Portal between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm, hoping to "save" Caleb. After killing Caleb, he opted to remain in the Boiling Isles in the hopes of massacring its inhabitants, willingly stranding himself there all so he could finish what he started. When he heard of a slew of other deities in the Pantheon who had also been "Isekai'd", who weren't Luz, Amity, Anne, Sasha, or Marcy, Belos began looking into them, in hopes of finding allies for his quest. Much to his irritation, he found that they universally possessed Magic, and willingly fraternized with Magical Beings. The two he came to hate the most were Ainz Ooal Gown, and Tanya von Degurechaff. Like Belos, both of them ended up in another world where they either partook in or started a brutal fascist dictatorship. Unlike Belos, both Ainz and Tanya embraced the local Magics. Ainz especially earned Belos' hate for his numerous actions against Humanity as the leader of Nazarick, with Belos vowing to turn the Lich into either a statue or a pile of ash. Tanya dislikes Belos because she hates "Being X" and sees Belos' devout Fundamentalism as foolhardy idiocy.
  • Given Philip's Puritanical upbringing, many in the Pantheon were quick to assume that he carried all of the prejudices that came with being a 17th century Puritan from Connecticut, a belief that was supported by Belos' worship of Chuck Shurley, and his alliance with the Red Skull, on top of his plan to kill all Witches and Demons. Philip made no attempt to disprove this and only added fuel to the fire with his condescension towards Judge Frollo. Belos reacted with absolute revulsion upon discovering Frollo's lust for Esmeralda, condemning Frollo for his desire towards a sinful Witch like her, while voicing that he isn't surprised that a Catholic would be so quick to fall to corruption. Many deities also noted that the Boiling Isles is an extremely inclusive and Queer friendly society, and were quick to label him as a homophobe. Belos merely stated that he is naturally opposed to deviancy and sin. As such, few were surprised when Belos attempted to murder Nanoha and Fate, ostensibly for them being Witches. The couple were quick to fight back, but because of the nature of their magic requiring them to get in close to try and physically harm him, the two settled for merely stunning him long enough to fall back and avoid being turned to stone, or otherwise severely harmed, much to Belos' irritation.
  • While Belos set up his fascist dictatorship in order to prepare the Boiling Isles for his genocide attempt with the Draining Spell, he did still put effort into maintaining said dictatorship in order to dupe the inhabitants into thinking that he ran their society with their best interests in mind, when in reality he was going to such lengths for the sake of "saving Humanity from evil". As such, Belos quite likes authoritarian figures who believe themselves to be doing good, or they seek to harm Non-Human beings. Lord Vyce is one such deity that Belos approves of, wholly agreeing with Vyce's extremely brutal despotism for the sake of attempting to stop the Entity.
    • Lord Farquaad caught Belos' attention for his attempt to expel all fairy tale beings from his personal Fiefdom of Dulac, in order to create an orderly ethnostate populated only by Humans. While Belos thinks he should simply kill the Ogre transformed Princess Fiona, and doesn't care about Farquaad's personal insecurities, he is willing to look past those traits. Handsome Jack is another fellow authoritarian that Belos approves of due to his similar mentality, and because Belos couldn't care less if a bunch of Pandorians go extinct.
    • Light Yagami and Belos get along fairly well, much to the alarm of many of Belos' enemies. While Belos dislikes Light's perception of himself as the God of the New World, he doesn't mind Light's efforts to get rid of criminal figures, especially since Light is willing to use the Death Note to kill of the people whom Belos sees as being threats to Humanity, including Humans who stood against him. That said, Belos is prepared to kill Light if he should get too big for his britches and take the Death Note for himself.
    • That said, not all authoritarians are appreciated by Belos. Father has earned the Witch Hunter's animosity thanks to his methods being so similar to Belos' but instead of "protecting Humanity", Father does what he does for the sake of becoming a God and putting himself above all other beings, and looks down upon Humanity in general. Another figure with the power of an authoritarian dictator that Belos stands opposed to is Embryo. While Belos initially thought that he and Embryo would get along thanks to Embryo's ability to control any Mages, the Witch Hunter found himself strongly opposed to Embryo's Omnicidal Mania, in addition to his lust for Ange, which Belos views as being utterly sinful.
  • If you are a Human who's goal is the murder of non-Human entities, especially common fantasy races such as Orcs, Trolls, or especially Witches and Demons, Belos will more than likely approve of you. One such Xenophobic deity that Belos found kinship with was Sally Whitemane of the Scarlet Crusade. Though Whitemane is a follower of the Light, Belos sees Whitemane's extremist interpretation of her faith as being close enough to his own Puritanical Protestantism that it makes little difference. Either way, the Witch Hunter strongly approved of Whitemane's zero tolerance policy regarding the Undead Scourge, and whole heartedly agrees that the various non-Human races of the Alliance and the Horde are deserving of death, though in Whitemane's case, it's due to her belief that non-Humans carry the Scourge's taint as opposed to Belos wishing death on them simply on principle.
    • Conversely, Belos has a strong distaste for deities such as Jack Horner. While Jack also desires the death of Magical beings, in his case, it's because he wants their Magic all for himself so he can become a God and rule over all others with an iron fist. Belos scoffs at Jack's greed, baffled why he wouldn't just kill them for its own sake, to which Jack responds by noting how Belos did nearly the same thing, even if it was for different reasons, though Belos brushes him off. The Witch Hunter isn't particularly worried about getting on Jack's nerves as he knows that he is substantially more dangerous without any power boosts than Jack, and was happy to educate Jack on this by smacking him around with his Magic.
    • Belos has a much better relationship with deities such as B.B. Hood, and Archibald Snatcher. In Hood's case, he respects the merciless bloodlust she holds in her heart in regards to killing off monsters, with the Emperor voicing his willingness to employ her services to kill off monsters that get on his nerves, or bring them in alive so Belos can experiment on them in the hopes of finding new ways of slaughtering them en mass. In Snatcher's case, Belos fully respects his desire to advance his place in society by killing off as many Trolls as he can, not unlike how Belos is planning the eradication of all life on the Boiling Isles. Snatcher is happy to support Belos due to Belos being a direct subordinate of Chuck Shurley, with Snatcher hoping that the Witch Hunter will put in a good word to his Master, in addition for Belos sharing his hatred of non-Humans.
  • When Philip learned of the Psychic Beast, Fecto Forgo, he was utterly appalled. Forgo was initially a being known as Fecto Elfilis, who entertained itself by invading and destroying worlds across all realities. Elfilis was stopped when it was captured by the inhabitants of the "New World"... who are implied to be an alternate universe version of Humanity, so when Belos learned of this, he was more than happy to hear that the Beast had been subjugated for attacking Earth. Forgo initially thought that Belos would make for a strong ally against its enemies Anne, Sasha, and Marcy, along with Luz, and Amity, and was deeply puzzled when Philip summarily rejected the idea, labeling Forgo a monster that needs death, and living proof that his planned genocide of Non-Humans is just. The Witch Hunter hasn't directly clashed with Forgo yet, but he doesn't attempt to intervene when his own nemesis' in Lumity do.
  • Make no mistake, if there's one thing that Belos despises almost as much as he despises witches and demons, it's Humans that either sympathize with, or actively partake in superpowered endavours. When he learned of Superheroes from the Red Skull and Lex Luthor, Belos was sickened. While Belos was already allied with HYDRA and working against superheroic groups, he found himself searching for more fellow Humans who didn't start with any powers who held similar beliefs. Much to Belos' delight, he soon crossed paths with Buddy Pine aka Syndrome. When Syndrome first heard of Belos he sneered at the presence of yet another "Super"... until he discovered Belos' past as Philip Wittebane, and his goal to rid existence of all Witches and Demons. Upon learning this, and especially upon learning that Belos shared his utter contempt for Supers, Syndrome was happy to provide his technology to Belos so they could be upgraded with Magic. Belos himself was more than happy to do so, and equally happily aided Syndrome in his battles with the Parr family, much to the latter's horror.
    • Due to how representative the two are for all the things about Superheroes that Belos hates, the Witch Hunter didn't waste any time expressing his desire to kill the likes of Clark Kent aka Superman, and Steve Rogers aka Captain America. As a Kryptonian, Clark was always going to earn Belos' contempt, with the fact that he leads an extremely diverse collage of heroes from all backgrounds, many of whom are Magical or Alien in nature only compounding matters. Steve is the sworn nemesis of the Red Skull and immediately voiced his utter disgust with the Witch Hunter before engaging Belos in battle. While Belos' exceptionally powerful Magic is more than capable of competing with both Heroes, he is currently researching a way to allow his Titan Form to leave his Temple so he can eradicate them for good.
    • Belos initially thought that the Doom Slayer would make for an outstanding ally. Like Belos, the Doom Slayer is the unshakeably determined bane of the Demonic Legions of Hell. Like Belos, the Doom Slayer will happily kill off almost any Demon he comes across. However, unlike Belos, the Doom Slayer actually has morality and a conscience. While he is more than happy to slay as many Demons as he can, the Doom Slayer isn't a bigot per se, as he won't go out of his way to kill off heroic Demons, and will even accept their aid in fighting evil Demons, even if he isn't terribly happy about it. Additionally, the Doom Slayer loathes angelic beings due to his experiences with the Makyrs. When he learned of Belos, the Doom Slayer promptly aimed all of his weapons at the Witch Hunter, much to the latter's anger.
  • Because of Belos perceiving Caleb, and later his archnemesis Luz standing against him as traitors to Humanity, he also loathes people who do similar things, both percieved traitors such as the Interspecies Reviewers amongst many others, and actual traitors such as Griffith, and Ragyo Kiryuin. Griffith and Ragyo both earned Belos' disgust by endangering all of Humanity with their betrayal purely for the sake of their own power. The Witch Hunter voiced with contempt that he wasn't surprised that molestors like them turned on Humanity. This wasn't a redeeming moment however as he declared them to be nearly as vile... as Luz for stopping his crusade and falling in love with Amity. Likewise, he also spat upon the Interspecies Reviewers engaging in wholly consensual sex with the prostitutes they review due to the prostitutes being non-Human, as well as being prostitutes, which Puritanism condemns. He made sure to butcher any and all Succujoint establishments near his Temple, and nearly killed the Reviewers themselves when they attempted to stop him, resulting in the Reviewers being utterly terrified of Belos.
  • As a consequence of the Day of Unity falling through, Belos began looking for an alternative means of killing off the people of the Boiling Isles, ultimately culminating in Belos possessing the Titan in order to finish the job, and very nearly succeeding, only being stopped by Eda, her son King who is himself a Titan, and Luz in her own Titan form. Nevertheless, the near success of the plan caused Belos to begin looking into similar beings that he could take control of to do the same thing to the Pantheon, as his Titan form cannot leave his Temple. It was this plan that lead to him discovering Homura Akemi and Sailor Galaxia. The two ultra powerful Magical Girls would provide Belos with near perfect vessels with which to begin massacring the Pantheon. Luz and Amity, along with Wanda Maximoff vowed to make sure that Belos couldn't possibly succeed, as they are well aware that the danger is very real. The thought of Belos possessing Homura in particular has the three genuinely fearful as Belos nearly attempted to possess the Collector themself in the Boiling Isles, only being interrupted by the Collector waking up, and unlike Sailor Galaxia, Homura has never been under the control of someone else...
    • Just because he is currently aiming to find a way to hijack Homura or Galaxia, doesn't mean that Belos isn't keeping his options open. When he learned of beings in the Pantheon that were both able and willing to grant absolutely any wish imaginable, regardless of morality, the Witch Hunter was almost giddy at the thought of how easy it would be to achieve his desired genocide with their help. The first deity that Belos began looking into was the Clockwork Star, Star Dream. He was very pleased to learn that all he needed to do to earn Star Dream's loyalty was succeed in its test of strength. His other nemesis Amity, who already desired Star Dream's destruction vowed to beat him to the punch and wish the NOVA out of existence. The other being related to wishes that Belos is investigating is Timmy Turner, though mainly for his possession of the Fairyversary Muffin, which much like Star Dream, can grant any wish imaginable. Because of Timmy's constant association with magical beings, the Witch Hunter is more than happy to kill the boy to get the Muffin.
    • Of course, possession isn't Belos' only tool. He's also a highly skilled manipulator, and is frighteningly skillful at crafting quick plans that rely on deceiving a powerful being. Much to his enemies' dismay, Belos has started to pull this on the Mewmans Mina Loveberry, and Star Butterfly herself. Mina was quite easy for Belos to successfully twist around his finger, as her nearly single minded loathing of all monsters as well as her insanity led her to buying Belos' technically true statements of loathing monsters, leaving out that he intends on killing her for being a Witch after she has helped slaughter enough Demons that Belos is satisfied. Star was much trickier for him to deceive, however he was able to manipulate her into thinking that attempting to destroy the Magic of the Pantheon will benefit everyone, with Belos attempting to use Luz and Amity's own opposition to Star combined with fake empathy to push her into being more cooperative.
    • While Belos was Emperor of the Boiling Isles, and in the leadup to the Day of Unity, he employed the services of Amity's parents Odalia and Alador Blight to provide him with a legion of mechanical soldiers known as Abomitons. Their purpose was ostensibly for greater security, but their actual purpose was to generate a massive shield around the center of the Isles as the Draining Spell took place to ensure that none of Belos' intended victims escaped. Aside from his existing allies, Belos was intrigued by the technological expertise of Dr. Eggman. Over his years as an enemy of Sonic, Robotnik has crafted some genuinely impressive robots in service of his goal of World Domination. Though Belos doesn't particularly care about Eggman's own ambitions, he is nonetheless intrigued by the potential uses his technology could have in service of Belos' crusade.
  • Even amongst the Human deities in the Pantheon who stand opposed to Magical beings, Belos doesn't have automatically have high opinions of them. He usually does, but not always, as is the case for his opinions regarding Gaston. While he does approve of Gaston's transformation into a more extreme crusader who rallied the population of a town into a frenzied mob in hopes of killing the Beast, he scoffs at Gaston's reason for doing so being primarily motivated by his desire to wed Belle. Likewise, Belos views Denzel Crocker as a pathetic idiot who could only hinder Belos' crusade of genocide, especially when a core part of Crocker's motivation to capture Timmy's Fairies being that he wants to prove he isn't crazy for believing them to be real. The Witch Hunter views Crocker's only potential use for his goals as being a mere distraction for Timmy so that Belos can more easily abscond with the Fairyversary Muffin, fully intent on killing both of them once he does so.
  • Much like Judge Frollo, Belos' openly genocidal fundamentalism has earned him virtually universal loathing amongst his fellow ascended Disney deities, even those that would otherwise pay him little mind. His countless atrocities from the murder of his brother and all of the Grimwalkers, to his consumption and later destruction of thousands of Palismen souls, to his eradication of entire cities simply to drum up fear of Wild Magic to better facilitate his rise to power and eventual implementation of the Coven System, among many, many others, has put Belos in a tier of his own in terms of monstrous depravity, even when he completely lacks a trait like Frollo's lust. The fact that the vast majority of other Disney deities, both heroic and villainous are associated with Magic which would put them in his crosshairs only makes their contempt intensify.
  • Belos has one deity who he shares more in common than he'd like to acknowledge, Master Org/Viktor Adler; like him, Adler was once a normal human who out of his own darkness in his heart and sheer pettiness began to concoct a dark plot to give himself the power to enact his twisted "justice" on those he felt wronged him and then moved on to outright omnicide of all life in a realm out of spite. However, while Belos never consciously forsook his humanity and is opposed to non-humans with the end goal of wiping out the Demon Realm and all its lifeforms, Adler gave up on his own humanity, willingly and consciously accepting his new existence as an Org and focusing on exterminating all of humanity so Orgs can thrive in their place. Both Adler and Belos are critical of each other, albeit Belos is sickened by Adler selling out mankind to the Orgs and planning to destroy them all thinking of him as even worse than his own brother or Luz for it while Adler is amused at Belos rejecting his own reign as an Emperor for what he sees as a waste of time to gain the approval of other humans, while in turn being blind to his own inhumanity and lack of moral ground over him.

”...Though, I shouldn't be too worried. After all, this 'Tropes Pantheon' place fortunately has allies that I can depend on to help me in my righteous crusade. With any luck, by the time I resume my cleansing of the Perdition that is the Boiling Isles, this place will be free of the sinful, demonic filth that infests it.”

  • The Boys were originally led by Greg Mallory, a World War II veteran who had witnessed the first and last use of super heroes in the war, which cost him the lives of every one in his own battalion through incompetence. The team consisted of Billy Butcher, Mother's Milk, The Frenchman and The Female. Backed by the CIA, the team is tasked with not only keeping tabs on the superhumans of the world, but also killing them if required. However, after they blackmailed the Seven by threatening to reveal their disastrous mishandling in trying to stop the 9/11 attacks, the Lamplighter, one of the members of the Seven, retaliated by killing Mallory's granddaughters. After Mallory killed Lamplighter, the Boys were disbanded. Years later, Butcher reassembled the team with himself as their leader and recruited Hughie Campbell as their fifth member, replacing Mallory.
  • Upon their ascension into the Pantheon, the Boys had a bittersweet reunion. On one hand, Hughie was very happy to see Mother's Milk, the Frenchman and the Female, as they had been killed by Butcher. On the other hand, they were all less than thrilled to see Butcher again, with Mother's Milk in particular punching him in the face due to Butcher having killed him. After the fight was broken up, the Boys were informed about the Pantheon and that their ascension was approved in order to ensure that any rogue superheroes and anto-heroes are kept in check. Although hesitant to resume being a team, they ultimately agreed that they could do a lot of good in the Pantheon and that leaving Butcher alone without a team to keep him in line would not be a good idea.
  • The team quickly drew the attention of Nick Fury, Peggy Carter and Captain America, who offered them S.H.I.E.L.D. resources in order to help them efficiently do their job. Although the Boys accepted the offer, they strongly suspect that the offer was at least partially made in order for S.H.I.E.L.D. to keep a close eye on them.
  • The Boys have also allied themselves with vigilante anti-heroes such as the Punisher and Red Hood. Butcher in particular likes the Punisher due to how much they're alike. They also occasionally team up with Night Raid, who've similarly performed morally dubious actions for the sake of the greater good.
  • Their most questionable ally is the "Hero Killer" Stain, whose philosophy aligns with their goals. However, most of the team are reluctant to work with him due to his fanatical extremism and even Butcher tends to butt heads with him whenever they meet. They also found an ally in former hitman John Wick, who managed to bond with Butcher due to their shared love of dogs.
  • Having fought against the Nazi "superhero" Stormfront, the Boys quickly became allies with Nazi Hunters such as B.J. Blazkowicz and the Basterds. They also became enemies with the Red Skull, whom they've frequently targeted as a result.
  • The Boys occasionally work together with Amanda Waller, who similarly believes that superheroes need to be kept in check. However, they don't particularly like her due to her ruthless methods, although Butcher tends to find common ground with her.
  • Unsurprisingly, the team spend most of their time surveilling particularly tyrannical superhumans, with High Councilor Kal-El and the Plutonian being at the top of their list. Their opinions on genuinely heroic superheroes are a bit more mixed, due to the nature of their world. They're especially conflicted about the Justice League, whom the Seven closely resembled, but admittedly make them look like pathetic knockoffs.
  • The Boys sympathize with the Charlotte Cast, who gained powers upon reaching puberty and were pursued by scientists and terrorists because of it. The Boys appreciate their desire to keep the other ability users safe, but also decided to keep an eye on Yuu, as he still has the power to absorb other people's abilities.
  • Exclusive to Billy Butcher:
    • Butcher was born in London, in the East End. He, along with his younger brother Lenny and their mother Carol, was frequently abused by his father Sam, which, on one occasion in which his mother received a particularly harsh beating, resulted in Billy nearly killing him with a kitchen knife, although his brother managed to stop him. After joining the Royal Marines, Butcher participated in the Falklands War and made quite a name for himself as the toughest soldier in his platoon. After returning back home, Butcher became a violent alcoholic, and even got court-martialed for assaulting and disfiguring a fellow soldier for no reason. His self-destructive spiral ended when he met his wife, Becky Saunders, who saw in him a better man than he was, and inspired him to be that man for her. However, one night, Becky died when a fetus with super powers burst out of her belly, nearly killing Butcher as well with its heat vision. After killing the fetus with a lamp, Butcher returned to his violent ways to cope with his grief and loss. Ending up in prison, Butcher was found by Greg Mallory, who revealed that Becky had been raped during their honeymoon by the Homelander. Seeking vengeance, Butcher accepted Mallory's to join his CIA team.
    • Surprisingly, Butcher managed to strike up something of an Odd Friendship with Rorshach, who approves of Butcher's determination and his willingness to go to any lengths to accomplish his goals. The fact that they both dislike costumed heroes also helped.
    • Butcher's willingness to work with/for pretty much anyone who can provide him with the resources, means and opportunity to make life miserable for superheroes has resulted in him occasionally working with the likes of Lex Luthor, much to his team's disapproval.
    • Was a bit surprised that Judge Dredd looks like him. Dredd is willing to overlook Butcher's pechant for breaking laws for the fact that he does stop even worse people.
  • Exclusive to Hughie Campbell:
    • Hughie was born in Scotland and, for much of his life, has been rather unlucky. Abandoned by his mother shortly after birth, he was adopted by Eck and Daphne Campbell and raised in a rural town, Auchterladle. Although his parents were loving and kind, Hughie still suffered several weird traumas, such as when he had the unpleasant experience of a huge tapeworm, or when an airplane pilot had a nervous breakdown in midair right in front of him, raving about how it was unnatural that a steel box that huge was able to fly. In adulthood, Hughie moved to Glasgow and proceeded to live a normal life, having a job, a small apartment for himself, and a girlfriend he loved, Robin. However, while the two were spending the day at a fun fair, a supervillain tossed at super-speed by A-Train, a superhero member of The Seven, hit Robin and smashed her on a brick wall, leaving only a red stain in her place and her arms in Hughie's hands. Shortly afterwards, Hughie was approached by Billy Butcher, who offered him a chance for payback by having him join his team. Having nothing to lose, Hughie accepted the offer and followed Butcher to the United States.
    • Hughie has managed to befriend other heroic figures such as Nightwing, Jonathan Joestar and Genos. However, Hughie was initially reluctant to befriend Nightwing, as he had previously dealt with a similar superhero in his world called Swingwing, who turned out to be incredibly homophobic and had pushed a young gay man who had confessed his love to him off of a roof. Hughie was very much relieved to discover that Nightwing was a legitimately nice guy.
  • Exclusive to Mother's Milk:
    • Mother's Milk was born in Harlem, the second son of a poor couple. His mother worked in a factory that used to be a laboratory owned by Vought-American, the company that genetically engineered supes. Since the place hadn't been treated following its dismantling, many women working in the factory were contaminated with Compound V, the same substance that gave supes their powers, and most of them died of cancer. His mother, instead, passed the mutation to her sons: first Michael, who was born with severe mental deficiencies, and then M.M., who initially appeared to be a normal baby, but was discovered to be completely dependent on his mother's milk for sustenance, with regular food being poisonous to him. M.M. grew to develop a massive grudge against Vought-American, as he had witnessed his brother dying when his super powers manifested, causing his growing head to be crushed inside his helmet, as well as his father's death after his lawsuit against Vought-American took a physical and mental toll on him. After getting married and having a daughter, M.M. joined the US Army to pay for his family’s growing expenses, where he distinguished himself as a terrific warrior after volunteering for the Rangers. M.M. also joined the Army's boxing team. However, he developed super powers right in the middle of a fight, inadvertently punching his opponent's head off. In prison, M.M. was approached by Greg Mallory and Billy Butcher, who offered him a chance to join their team to keep an eye on Vought-American and its so-called "heroes", which he accepted.
    • Mother's Milk is on good terms with Luke Cage, a fellow super powered African-American from Harlem. The two can occasionally be seen hanging out or fighting crime.
    • Due to his love of his mother as well as his ex-wife Monique putting their daughter Janine in a porn film, Mother's Milk quickly developed a strong dislike of Sofia Lamb after hearing about how she treated her daughter Eleanor as her property and nearly killed her.
    • Unsurprisingly, Sigmund Freud was fascinated by M.M.'s origin story and his reliance upon his mother's milk for sustenance. For the most part, M.M. didn't particularly mind to discuss the matter with Freud, but insisted that he's never had an actual Oedipus Complex.
  • Exclusive to The Frenchman:
    • According to himself, Frenchie was born in France, in a rural town named Franglais. He was a young man in love and devoted to his girlfriend, Marie. He later went to war and it changed his view on life, making him realize that life was precious and he swore never to use violence again. Upon returning to Franglais, he discovered that Marie left him for his childhood rival and bitter enemy, Black Pierre. The only way to solve things was a duel, but Frenchie, now a pacifist, simply gave up, falling into a deep depression and jeopardizing his family's honor in the process. His father, not wanting to see him like this, decided to reclaim his honor himself. At that time, the population was celebrating a local festival, that saw the inhabitants facing each other in a weird and unlikely joust, riding a bicycle and fencing with baguettes. Frenchie didn't participate, but his father did, and challenged the champion, Black Pierre. Fearing to lose to a former champion like Frenchie's father, Black Pierre sabotaged his adversary with a stale croissant, causing his bike to crash and killing him. Furious at his enemy, the Frenchman renounced to his newfound pacifism and challenged Pierre, who, acting as the coward he was, fled, robbing him of his vengeance. Afterwards, Frenchie's mother died of despair. Frenchie subsequently hunted down and killed Black Pierre and rejected Marie's pleas to take her back. He chose to leave Franglais forever, regarding himself as irredeemable.
    • Despite his claims about his nationality, Frenchie's frequent use of incorrect French phrases and occasional use of British idioms suggests that he might actually be British instead. Having formerly served in the French Foreign Legion, he was found by Billy Butcher in a bar in Paris. After having engaged in a bar brawl, Frenchie was recruited into the Boys, whom he came to regard as his family.
    • Frenchie was very pleased meet several fellow French people within the Pantheon. He felt honored to meet Jeanne d'Arc herself and appreciated her kindness. He also quickly bonded with Jean-Pierre Polnareff and Madeline, the former similiarly being a silly yet dangerous fighter who's dedicated to doing good, while the latter being a Cheerful Child whom Frenchie is rather protective of. Another notable ally is Gambit, who is similarly an anti-hero, although Frenchie initially mistook him for a fellow Frenchman when they first met.
    • Frenchie is on reasonably amicable terms with the Spy, who approached him after sneaking into the Boys' temple unseen. Frenchie was impressed by the Spy's proficiency with knives and ability to turn invisible. Frenchie has since received some espionage training from the Spy in order to improve his sneaking skills. Additionally, on the advice of his teammates, Frenchie has secured their temple in order to prevent the Spy from sneaking in again.
    • He absolutely despises the Child Abuse Supporters, as he hates child abuse of any kind. As such, he tends to keep a close eye on them.
    • Frenchie does not get along well with Remy, who tends to make fun of him and even accuse him of not being actually French, which on occasion tends to result in the two ending up in a brawl. Nonetheless, the two don't really regard each other as outright enemies and are even able to work together if necessary.
    • He pitied Mistral after hearing about her tragic backstory of how her parents were killed in the civil war in Algeria and she subsequently tracked down and killer her parents' murderers. However, he does not approve of the evil person that she has become and generally opposes her.
  • Exclusive to The Female:
    • Born in Tokyo, Japan, the Female suffered misfortune at an early age. Her mother was a secretary at a Tokyo Corporation and, unwilling to pay for daycare, would hide her daughter underneath her desk at work. One day, she crawled through the halls of the corporation into the laboratory of Dr. Uderzo, who was experimenting with Compound V. After crawling inside a bucket filled with Compound V, she brutally attacked the doctors there and was eventually captured. Growing up in captivity, she was treated like an experimental animal as the company tried to determine how she got her powers. She was only approached by people probing her, cutting her and injecting her with painful substances, traumatizing her to the point that she developed an intense aversion to physical contact and became mute. On occasion, she would escape from the facility, wandering the streets and trying to understand the outside world. However, she would always get tranquilized and brought back to her cage. During her final escape attempt, she was tracked down into the sewers by the company's security division, whom she successfully killed off. However, she was subsequently captured by the Boys when Butcher dropped in a concussion grenade to knock her out, with the intent of using her as a weapon. When she awakened, the Frenchman volunteered to instruct her on integrating her within the world, treating her with compassion and love and attempting to manage her recurring bouts of homicidal rage, which she constantly tried to control.
    • Through encouragment from Frenchie, the Female went looking throughout the Pantheon for potential friends in order to improve her social skills. Eventually, she managed to befriend Gunvolt and Raiden, both of whom have similarly been experimented on in the past but nonetheless chose to fight for justice and the greater good.
    • In order to satiate her compulsion to kill people, she visited the House of Crime in order to see if she could hire her skills out to someone. Not wanting to hurt innocent people, she formed an amicable working relationship with some of the more moral gansters there, such as the 3rd Street Saints and Passione.
    • Has gotten along with Katana, as both are Japanese warriors with difficult upbringings and share an actress. The rest of the group tolerates Tatsu, given she's not a superheroine, just a Badass Normal who happens to be very good with a sword.

  • Opposed by: Every human in the Pantheon, good or evil, Merrill, Lor'themar Theron, Varsuuvius, Orion, Lady Amalthea, Princesses Celestia and Luna
  • Fears: Harry Dresden
  • In Pursuit of: Ciri
  • Comflicting Opinion: The Warden and the Inquisitor
  • It was a day Geralt had feared ever since he and Ciri set foot in the Pantheon, even though he knew it would happen eventually. The signs were happening all the same; first sightings of spectral emanations were forming throughout the Pantheon. Then there were the random killings of followers. All of that accumulated into that faithful day when the temperature dropped rapidly. The day when he heard the rumbling of horses signalling the arrival of undead wraiths. That was the day Eredin Bréacc Glas had returned, ready to enact his revenge upon Geralt.
    • The Witcher immediately amassed a great number of his allies shortly afterwards to confront the threat. What followed was a brutal brawl between his forces and that of The Wild Hunt. The fighting was fierce and ferocious. Just when Geralt was about to be slain, reinforcements from the GUAG as well as that of the Emperor of Mankind were able to contain the threat. Not used to such a powerful army, Eredin retreated to a new location. Fortunately for him, he gained a large enough following to stay within the Pantheon.
    • Ciri was understandably furious as well as a little shaken about the return of her persistent foe. This is a group that has pursued her through countless worlds, killing everyone she had loved before finding Geralt. She does not want the same thing to happen to any of her friends she has met in the Pantheon. The thought that she was even in love with the conqueror at some point in her life disgusts her even more. At least now she has Geralt, Yennefer and Triss at her side as well.
  • The Wild Hunt is merely a nickname of their group. As a matter of fact, Eredin leads an elven kingdom called Aen Elle. At the height of their power, they were capable of capturing large swaths of the multiverse, killing an enslaving those who came against them. The group heard that Ciri was the key to stop the White Frost, the one thing that could put a halt to their plans. As a result, they hunted her down through countless universes. Nowadays, they aren't quite up to full strength. Still, Eredin has a formidable arm that can give many deities trouble.
    • The group is among the most frightening armies in the Pantheon... but they are neither wraiths nor undead. They merely wear bone-like armor to install fear into their victims. It helps that up to Geralt's last stand they seemed to be an invincible army.
    • The reveal that the Wild Hunt were elves was one of the biggest black eyes that the God of High Elves endured during his time. The fact that he was their patron during their reign of destruction did not sit well with him. He revoked their membership, but by then the damage was done. Now that the Wild Hunt has ascended, Lor'themar swears to put an end to their march. Other elven deities have supported him in their opposition.
  • Impressed with the dark elf's tenacity against the Norse Gods, Eredin applied the high priest status to Malekith. While he only invoked the Wild Hunt a couple of times, he remains a constant threat to the ten realms. Predictably, this has caused the ire of Thor as well as the other Norse Gods. They too are familiar with the Wild Hunt in their mythology, but the inclusion of Malekith to their ranks was an insult to injury.
  • One of their main targets has been human enclaves, a fact that enrages the God Emperor of Mankind. Eredin confirms this is intentional; the mere fact that humans are the majority of high beings they face is an affront to the group. As such, the Wild Hunt tends to deliver the most suffering to humans. It's little wonder that no sane human want anything to do with them.
  • Humans aren't the only species concerned with his ascension. The unicorn deities are well aware of the stories of the vast number of their kin who were either slaughtered or enslaved in their name. The two unicorn deities set out to save any of their followers from the invading army. However, the unicorn deities consolidated their forces with Geralt's in direct battles.
  • This is not to say he is below making any alliances. When Darkseid entered via Boom Tube, Eredin decided to hear what he had to say. The subsequent conversation was positive for both sides. Darkseid did not care what race delivered the dystopia, only that one carries it out and he was impressed with all the worlds the Wild Hunt has conquered. Eredin was fully capable of transportation through dimensions, but Darkseid's technology certainly makes things easier for him.
  • One of the few fantasy figures to embrace their conquest, Sauron delighted on the Wild Hunt. The Evil Overlord always makes himself elven in appearance in order to appease the Aen Elle. It's a tiny tradeoff for the chance to finally rid of Gandalf of his Fellowship.
  • Was not pleased that some humans have started to take up the form for themselves, even if they were every bit as tyrannical as he was. Altria Pendragon Alter Lancer has taken several elements of The Wild Hunt into her own ruthless reign. Eredin tried to confront her, but was defeated in single combat. His army was forced to concede that the two would have to coexist for the time being.
    • It turns out the Aen Belle were not even the first beings in the Pantheon to call themselves the Wild Hunt. That group is Syura's band of psychopathic mercenaries. Enraged at that prospect, Eredin invaded their temple in order to bring them low. Syura's crew may be Chaotic Evil, but they showed a great deal of teamwork to drive off the captures. The two groups have fought on many occasions afterwards, mostly because few people care who would come out victorious as long as one group bites it for good.
  • Rivals in any other sense, the deities from Thedas were willing to set their difference aside to take on this new threat. Eredin holds Hawke to great disdain as well as that world's treatment of elves, but was intrigued that the Warden and Inquisitor could be an elf themselves. With the right attitude, the elf might even be persuaded to join his side. That hasn't happened thus far with the two siding with Geralt for the time being.
    • Merrill was displeased with the Wild Hunt's wanton destruction and has thoroughly rejected the group as well. Instead of convincing her, the Wild Hunt seeks to capture her and manipulate her to use the full extent of her blood magic.
  • Much of the fantasy world was on high alert with his ascension. Long-heald rivalries between the factions are set aside when dealing with the Wild Hunt. Even Raislin, a wizard who usually scoffs at working with the likes of Gandalf, felt pressured to pitch in to mobilize a defense to make sure the Wild Hunt are contained to their temple and nothing more.
  • There is another name besides Ciri and Geralt that gives him pause. The magician Harry Dresden encountered a version of the Wild Hunt and the results shocked him; Not only Dresden defeat the leaders, he also took over the Wild Hunt as his own. Whenever Harry shows up, Eredin is forced to retreat to safer ground. The Sparrowhawk will have to do more research to see if his group can taken on the magician.

  • Allies: The Maiden in Black, The Chosen Undead, Bearer of the Curse and Ashen One, Solaire of Astora, Isaac Clarke, the Monster Hunters, Nyarko, Guts, Dante Alighieri, William Adams, the Belmonts, Knight Artorias

  • Rivals and/or Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The Abyss Watchers, the Flagellant
  • Enemies:
  • Distrusts: The Halls of Dreams and Nightmares and Vampires
  • Unaffected by: Most beings from the Cthulhu Mythos
  • Very few cities have captured the same awe and beauty of the Victorian-esque city known as Yharnam. The large architecture, sprawling with various designs is something to marvel at. At the heart of the city, lies the religion the citizens follow and come the creation of a new form of blood transfusion, one that can heal various diseases and so much more. Then the Scourge of Beasts happened and those who took the blood were transformed to beasts. Various people dubbed Hunters would go on a hunt to slay these beasts but one by one, the Hunters themselves would become the same being they were against, thus repeating an endless cycle of hunts. One lone outsider would visit Yharnam to partake in the transfusion, and signed a contract to bring a bit of Yharnam blood in him. What entailed further would be a nightmare for the ages as said person witnessed the Scourge of Beasts, unraveled the shrouded past of the city and its surroundings but most importantly witness the truth of the Dream he/she is in, Thus begins the Hunter's journey to find "Paleblood".
  • It has been said that the Hunter had discovered one of the roads to the Pantheon's main gates while out on the Hunt following them entering the Forbidden Woods. Normally these paths are Invisible to Normals unless they have been selected for ascension, perhaps it might have been an instance of illusion or another dream. Still, The Hunter claims to have found this invisible path (among many other things), connecting Yharnam and surrounding areas to the Pantheon. One can argue that this alone led to other various deities originating from the same universe to be handpicked by the Pantheon's higher ups. With this in mind, the Hunter earned his Godhood through unexpected means.
    • In simple conversation, trying to narrow down a consistent history of this new god has been a fruitless endeavor. The same story is never said twice, the Hunter could have been anything from a military soldier to a complete waste of skin. The Hunter's story has even been that of a woman at times, though many deities use male pronouns just to keep it simple. Those who have straight out asked them if they're a man or a woman have only ever recieved the answer "I am a Hunter." Some others are sure, given the definite memories the Hunter has, that he no longer is sure of his own perceptions, even his own memories.
  • Just as the Hunter has finished exploring the depths of the Pantheon, a beckoned call was heard and a lamp appeared in front of him. This lamp would lead him to a familiar place, the Hunter's Dream where he saw the Plain Doll, waiting for him and Gehrman inside the House. While memories and stories varies with the Hunter, Gehrman has not forgotten him and neither has the Doll. Should the Hunt end, Gehrman would give the Hunter a chance to accept his offer and return to the waking world, or fight him and free his life from the dream entailing a fight. Now that they arrived after his discovery of the Pantheons, the Hunt may go on but should be approached with caution. Some have also blamed him for the introduction of Insight via the Great Ones, of which he wish not to delve into.
    • They would not be the only ones of the same universe to enter as various calls from neighboring deities called the Hunter's assistance. Three of which were places he revisited back in his hunt. This included the dreaded Nightmare of Mensis where Micolash, the Host of the Nightmare appeared. Chanting back his discoveries and bringing others into his realm, he would fight him again but his efforts were for naught as he has a permanent place within Pantheon grounds. Another call was made regarding the presence of various eldritch-deities, of which the Hunter expected following Micolash's arrival. The Great Ones, although neutral in some instances (and at the same time, dead like Kos or ascended like Oedon), perceive the Hunter with threat should he draw his weapon to engage. That would not be the last of them as another location would open itself to the Hunter once more.
      • While few have seen it, the Hunter's Nightmare is far more eldritch and hard to comprehend moreso than the other realms within it. An unholy mesh of what seems to be the twisted visions of Yharnam, created by Kos as punishment for those who damned the Fishing Hamlet, thanks to Byrgenwerth. Those who have become affected were the legendary hero known as Ludwig, transformed into an Accursed being, and Lady Maria, the Old Hunter who Gehrman secretly has a connection to as well as being the main inspiration of the Doll's creation. The Hunter went inside and freed the curse and with it, the secrets of the past, but not without the realization that they too have ascended. As for the latter, Maria has watched for any intruder to enter the Clocktower but has taken caution with the Hunter of all she encountered, while Ludwig has gained some sympathy thanks to regaining his conscience before his death.
  • Very few mortals would dare themselves into fighting against bizarre creatures for their own safety or lack of combat expertise, yet the Hunter is not alone. While death will surely follow him, others have followed, if not already experienced the same conditions as he has. The Chosen Undead, Bearer of the Curse and Ashen One all have partaken such and their adventures has some similarities despite the differences in setting, armor/clothing and weapons. Of course, their deaths is repeated throughout but they can be revived back to the nearest bonfire/lamp and do the job done. The Chosen Undead's most prominent member, Solaire of Astora sees the Hunter as another addition for jolly-cooperation while the Hunter has identified similarities between him and Alfred.
    • Another similar icon he is somewhat familiar with is the Maiden in Black as close inspection between her and the Plain Doll made guesses as to whether or not the Doll had a few influences. At one point, he came to check if he could be powered by her as well but as she encountered him, she could not power him with souls and sensed a great deal of power in him. Maybe it is the "Paleblood" thanks to his possible ascension as a Great One that is denying him service from the Maiden. Still, with the four of them using her as a substitute, he does not mind company.
  • The Hunter possesses a wide range of weapons and firearms if one peeks into the temple. This includes many serrated weapons, weapons that can turn to whips, weapons enhanced with blood, gunblades, spears with rifles, greatswords of even magic variety, and so much more. However the Hunter's shown a preference to the Saw Cleaver and Blunderbuss, and is often seen carrying the two about. He will gladly change weapons should the situation calls for it, and because of the nature of these weapons being trick weapons, allows varied ways to tackle their prey, as any hunter would, though some have joked about one of the weapons being a broccoli and a glorified pizza cutter.
    • His stance on shields before was that they were useless and would much rather move with fast speed over relying on massive defense as shields do give the burden of weight, making dodging or side-stepping useless. At one point, that changed once he acquired a shield of arcane origin, which is able to help him block damage from magic-based attacks. This has helped him in various cases so it seems he is okay with shields but would still prefer using weapons on his other hand.
  • In the Pantheon, there are various reactions from some of the deities to the Hunter, either of wary, calmness, disgust or cooperation. Some have considered the Hunter to be one of those among many mortal beings to be the ones in the first line of defense, alongside the aforementioned four. Much like the profession he chose, he is often called to situations about beasts, entities or anything resembling a beast, after all a Hunter must Hunt. This makes him a great substitute against beasts, even better if said beast has any form of blood. Said expertise in his profession garnered him some fame and traction, that he was invited by Dante Sparda to join a few willing hunters. Thanks to that he was introduced to other hunters such as Blade, Dante, Lina Inverse, dragon and treasure hunter, Gene, the demon hunter with a God-Hand, and Geralt of Rivia, one of the last in a unique line of Witchers. The Belmonts have also seen him as a worthy ally thanks to his experience in monsters of various kinds, including vampires. Compared to the bunch however, he is the most silent and rarely talks, and displays his emotions through action, like at one point where the Hunter fired off a bone ash-empowered cannon in order to kill a common spider. When asked about such Disproportionate Retribution, the Hunter was heard muttering about cliffs.
    • Combat-wise, he can be considered something of a wild card in larger fights. Hunters do work in packs but the Hunter often hunts alone and only considers allies should the situation grow out of control. His fighting style, while devastatingly effective, has one major flaw: it literally runs on blood. He uses blood to heal and blood to make some of his weapons function. Any one who can't bleed has a fighting chance against him, but considering his allies and the bells/spells/guns he carries with him, it's a very small fighting chance. He admits that amidst the number of violent combatants, there are a plethora of means for the Hunter to be covered in blood, and thus made the stronger for it.
  • Despite a very mortal origin in a world of death, the Hunter has stood in the presence of Cthulhu. To the eldritch being's surprise, the Hunter showed no signs of madness and seemed to even comprehend his true form. The two parted without a word, though Cthulhu wishes to know just what sort of things the Hunter has seen. And this does not limit to just Cthulhu but to every being chronicled by H.P Lovecraft, so much so that it attracted the chronicler himself with piqued interest to the Hunter (and by extension, Yharnam's nature). Lovecraft attempted to get information through Micolash but that went nowhere so he ventured to the Hunter's temple instead and have begun studying the histories of Yharnam. His delight would be satiated, and has visited the Hunter on varying occasions, intent on knowing more about the nature of "Insight".
    • His presence does not share the same sentiments on other beings of similar kind such as the Old Gods immediately gaining hostile intent on him, with N'Zoth being the most notorious, plunging the Hunter in various dimensions resembling Yharnam, yet surviving in all attempts. Double also has hatred for his presence, repeatedly killing him but him returning back all prepared to fight her again. He comments that Double should not remain alive or else her influence will grow to uncontrollable levels, hence why he took the responsibility of killing her to prevent such from happening.
  • Even when clean, the Hunter reeks of blood, and has been asked to give the House of Vampirism a wide berth. Many of the gods get a craving after catching a wiff of such a powerful scent as he is almost always splattered in blood for some reason, even Kin Blood, and those that give in to their hunger often end up in a battered state. His reponse on his first encounters with the House of Vampires does strike some similar cases with the Cainhurst Vilebloods, a group of nobles with a vampire-like lifestyle and Hunters of which fights with grace and style. As for the deities inside, he has shown that the people there are not like the Vilebloods, as Blade who assisted him can prove as well.
    • When the Vampires found out about Yharnam, the city which deals with blood that's more intoxicating than alcohol, they have attempted many visits with less than desirable results. Some even desire the blood out of sheer intoxication that both Blade and the Hunter have dealt with various kinds. Many trips to Yharnam has been attempted, and while most left the Hunter alone afterwards, others have persisted, of which are not vampires within said House but vampires from the other corners of the Pantheon, such as the mosquito-infested forces of the Crimson Court, to even Marlowe Roderick, who has come to hate the Hunter equally to Blade and Buffy.
  • The Hunter's high amount of Insight allows him to see past the thin veil some gods and goddesses use to disguise themselves. This trait has made many deities scared and some, like the cases with Saya and Tomie Kawakami, angry for his attempts at killing them as he is able to see from their human disguises, even Fuminori Sakisaka started stalking him after nearly killing Saya multiple times. This also led a few awkward moments; at one point, he nearly attacked Nyarko out of instinct. The Hunter had been going along his way when he saw an unspeakable, faceless abomination trying to wrap itself around a young boy. The Hunter leapt into action, and after a short scuffle (in which the Hunter took a fork to the head unscathed), they all calmed down enough to explain with context. The Hunter sheepishly apologized, shook one of Nyarko's tentacles, and went on his way while she also said a small request.
    Nyarko: Say hi to great grand-aunt for me!
  • There is a reason why the Hall of Dreams and Nightmares have been on his watchlist because if the texts have said otherwise, Yharnam may as well be a dream. If that is the case, then the Hunter is a Dream Walker in his own right. Even taking that part away, he still qualifies if the Hunter's Dream, Hunter's Nightmare and other dream-like worlds he visited is of any indication. Insight also helps as it allows him to see even the tiniest details hidden in these worlds.
  • Besides your usual beasts, the Hunter can be called to face unknown abominations, even the non-animalistic kind, meaning mythological creatures do count. The Monster Hunters have called him for assistance on numerous occasions as while the Monster Hunters do have the number, they lack the massive power of each hunter on their ranks, in contrast to the Hunter who can use various spells, weapons and items with great efficiency. He has declined on getting other weapons as his selection can fit on many cases. Even William Adams has gained some friendship mainly for hunting Onis in Japan while also seeing that the Hunter has far more powerful capabilities than he has. His spirit Saiorse also sensed his power, seeing how that Yharnam blood (Old Blood) is able to power him to such heights.
    • Untapped potential is one of the things Guts has described the Hunter, as his skills, powers and strengths has given him the impression of a strong person but with potential that has yet to be touched in him, perhaps it is a way of telling him the possibility of him becoming a Great One. Dante Alighieri also feels the same way, but is impressed at the Hunter's resistance to beasthood despite the odds going against him even at the beginning of his hunt, although that can be attributed to the Hunter being "Paleblood" himself, as evidenced by the messengers who were able to seek him at the last minute.
    • Unknown space abominations have also been common outside of your usual Lovecraftian kin, a notice that Isaac Clarke made to ask assistance to those willing to help stave off the Necromorphs' advance. The Hunter's weapons may be efficient but getting used to cutting off the tentacled limb of each necromorph in the vicinity is taxing especially if they come in groups. Though he does have something advantageous: Flamespraying them to death.
  • The Darkest Estate hires heroes of various kinds who are paid to deal with eldritch horrors and transcendent threats. The Hunter is among those the Ancestor has kept his eye on mainly because he himself is another cosmic being as the Heart of Darkness. He has taken breaks in the Hamlet but to say he has an eerie feeling about it is putting it lightly. The other heroes who have also resided in the Hamlet have mixed feelings towards him as while the Highwayman is okay hanging out with him (not to mention the various aspects of which makes them similar), the Flagellant harbors intense hate from him, mainly because of his love for blood and the fact that the Hunter is almost always splattered in blood himself.
    • The Hamlet's threats have also been on the Hunter's list of things to hunt simply because of their horrific presence. It may not be the same level as that of Yharnam's horrors but they are close, the Hag being a witch akin to those within Hemwick Charnel Lane, the aformentioned Crimson Court and finally the Sleeper, a being that the Hunter was called at some point to dispose of but with impervious difficulty. Now the Hunter's profession has gotten harder to track but he can manage.
  • In the very same universe the Chosen Undead resides, the Hunter made an alliance with Gwyn under the idea that he is protecting humanity (though some can also question if that is another way of adding more things to hunt in the Hunter's list). All was well until the Ashen One came in with epiphany of Gwyn's past, thus putting the alliance into question following a discovery made within the fabled Ringed City, knowledge that not only put the Hunter's alliance in question, but everyone linked with Gwyn's goodwill.
    • That "seal of fire" otherwise known as the Darksign was made by him out of fear that humanity would overtake the gods and the First Flame would die out. This resulted to the removal of their humanity or more specifically, the Abyss which went out of control despite showing that humans were capable of controlling it. To compensate, he gave the pygmies a city on the edge of the world, without the knowledge that it was to isolate them from everyone as well as gifting his youngest daughter, who was stuck in an endless slumber, to them. Why is this important? Well because if history within Yharnam has shown, this reminded him of one place, the Hunter's Nightmare which was made by Kos to punish those who defiled the Fishing Hamlet, thanks to Byrgenwerth and their mad desire for knowledge. This led to discussion made between him and the trio, contemplating if Gwyn's alliance should be kept or removed for good.
    • More discoveries came upon the Hunter's visit, which included the fabled knight Artorias, the Abysswalker, who reminded him of the First Healing Church Hunter Ludwig and thanks to Pantheon changes, the Abysswalker has no harm against him, unless he starts rampaging again due to being infected with the Abyss. The same feeling was felt in his "successors" the Abyss Watchers, who have seen the Hunter as a rival of sorts as they sense something eldritch within him as well as the myriad of similarities, though if another beast comes, the two will put aside their issues and face it, but most importantly if whether or not the Abyss Watcher civil war will happen again, as the Abyss has proven itself to be ever-reaching to anyone, including those against it.
    • The alliance he made with Gwyn also attracted his enemies against him, such as the case with King Allant and his remaining demonic forces from Boletaria. Following Boletaria's rise from obscurity and the rise of the Fog, many deities have been caught off-guard against Allant's attacks and the Hunter was dispatched to handle it. While the attacks have dwindled, Allant himself remains to be at large as well as the Fog that might engulf the entire plane.
  • Since the Hunter has no specific name and qualifies for a character of which can be of multiple designs, pasts and playstyles, some have argued that he is an avatar of Insert Name Here, allowing the unknown entity to take part in the hunts. This is also added to the same trio such as the Chosen Undead, Bearer of the Curse and Ashen One as they too share similar aspects. Whatever the case, it is clear that the Hunter has no control on his character and can vary from time to time.

  • Lobo's departure from the subhouse of Hunters left a huge hole in command for bounty hunters. Without a patron to watch over them, their ranks devolved into chaos as they fought over the leadership. It took the actions of a son of a clone to discipline the clan. The legendary exploits of Boba Fett was enough for his followers to fall in line. The helmeted one has claimed the throne as the premier Bounty Hunter of the Pantheon.
    • Of course his ascension wasn't completely without drama. A few mumbled about his lackluster performance in his debut film. Fett usually responds with his accolades in his later stories, though it's not always enough to stop dissent.
    • A few more sadistic gods would also point out the nature of his first appearance, which wasn't in the movies… but the holiday special. Not one of his followers would mention that incident for fear of backlash.
  • There are only two deities in the Pantheon who can shake him out of his cold, calculating exterior. Mace Windu is thought to be responsible for the death of his herald and father Jango Fett. The bounty for the Jedi is far higher than that of any other bounty in the Pantheon. Meanwhile, he was appalled that the very beast that nearly ended his life resides in the House of Beasts. That is one being he refuses to deal with, mostly out of fear.
    • There are numerous stories that have tried to explain how he managed to escape the pit monster. Boba Fett would rather not dwell too much into those details other than being glad that he managed to come out alive.
  • Gaining the approval of Lobo, the former holder of the title, certainly helped his reputation. The Main Man eagerly handed him all the paperwork required before heading off on his bike. At least someone else will handle the responsibility now.
  • Jabba the Hutt was pleased to have his most reliable clients in the Pantheon. It would certainly make running his empire in the Pantheon much easier. Palpatine is also glad to have the Bounty Hunter division more devoted to defeating the rebels. As such, he has renewed hostilities with Luke Skywalker and his allies. All Han would say about the bounty hunter was they should have made sure he was dead.
  • Most other ascended bounty hunters see him as a rival more than anything else. Captain Falcon, Spike Spiegel and Samus were not too pleased with some of the bounties the human has handled. His rivalry with Samus resulted in a brief battle between the two. It didn't end well for him.
    • Went in a rap battle with a certain merc with a mouth. The two have been battling for hired help ever since.
    • Is wary with making any sort of deals with the Man With No Name. The cowboy may not care too much about his targets, but he has a habit of getting the better end of a deal, no matter how careful he is.
    • Both he and Deadshot have merely agreed not to get in each others' ways in regards to their business.
    • Fett does enjoy a more professional relationship with Deathstroke. Both know better than to get into petty squabbles. They are even comfortable enough to work together in bigger jobs.
  • Fett holds great pride in the professional way his followers go about their business. Which is why he has no time to deal with sociopaths who would rather cause destruction than actually carrying out their duties. All of those defectors head over to Vile's domain. The similarities to their helmets only further unnerves the two.
  • While he wouldn't say why Vader was keen to make sure Boba Fett didn't disintegrate his bounties, the bounty hunter did acknowledge he has taken that advice at heart. It's why he was initially a follower of Lockdown before his ascension.
    • There were also two occasions where he has squared off against the Sith in a lightsaber duel. Neither is giving out any details about those.
  • Aku is a frequent client of his, hiring many of his bodyguards to go after the dreaded Samurai Jack. Boba Fett was impressed with how well the samurai has handled many of his challengers, sometimes all at once. He's mulling whether he has to take up this job himself.
  • Many of his services are now done online. This is due to the increased usage from Samaritan. He doesn't care either way; as long as the machine can find the cash, he will send mercenaries for it.
  • Has told his followers never to go after John Wick. Boba Fett realized early on that the best way to handle a man like that is not to piss him off.
  • Some of his followers have tried to coerce the Bride back into the fold… which usually results with the Bride walking out with bodies of slain assassins behind her. Fett himself doesn't care much about her defection.
  • As his father served as the basis of Stormtroopers, Boba Fett does feel awkward around them. While he understands the anguish Rau has for being a clone, it's not enough to say Humans Are Bastards.
  • He was once hired by Felix the Cat to track down his stolen Magic Bag of Tricks, which had once again fallen into the hands of The Professor, got scammed off of him by Count Dooku, and got stolen back by Professor with the help of Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily. Fett got wind of them retrieving the bag and trailed them, but Felix had warned him on no uncertain terms to not deal with the thieves violently, so Boba was forced to bide his time. Eventually, the trio were caught up in an argument over who got to keep the Magic Bag, and Boba took advantage of this to steal the bag from right under their noses, and he returned it to Felix for an undisclosed fee.

    Buffy Summers 
Buffy Anne Summers, Goddess of Vampire Hunters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The First Goddess of the Trope Pantheons)

  • Portfolio: Vampire Hunter, The Chosen One, Bad Liar, Unusual Speech, Avoids Killing Humans, Problematic Powers, Natural Abilities from Her Portrayer, Pragmatic Combat, Deadpan Snark, Escalating Douchebaggery, Broken Cutie.
  • Domains: Strength, Good, Feminism, War, Glory

  • Enemies: Every evil aligned vampire within the Pantheon, Count Dracula, Dracula, Satan, Slender Man, among other evil monsters, Libby Chessler, Sakuya Izayoi
  • Odd Friendship: The Survivor Crew
  • Pities: Hope Summers
  • "Into every generation a Slayer is born: one girl in all the world, a Chosen One. She alone will wield the strength and skill to fight the vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their numbers. She is the Slayer." And among the greatest of them all is a short blonde cheerleader, who's legendary fights against evil landed her a spot in the Pantheon.
    • Another vampire hunter did try to lay claim to the title. Ultimately, Blade did not have the lasting power of Buffy.
    • He received said opportunity much later on thanks to Adrian Tepes being able to cast aside the God of Dhampyrs seat to gain another ally against Dracula.
  • Because the dimension that the Pantheon exists in used her world as a base, she was initially bumped straight up to Overdeity. However, Buffy herself has insisted that she be judged by the same criteria of power and influence as everyone else. Her credentials got her to Lesser Goddess.
  • The vampire slayer has recently been hard at work, ascending her fellow Scoobies into the Pantheon. So far, she has successfully found temples for Willow and Xander. She hopes to add more to the tally.
  • One being from her world she was not glad to see again here? Mayor Richard Wilkins. She was quick to convince the GUAG not to fall for his good-mannered nature: he's a villain all the same, intent on taking over the world.
  • Among vampire hunters, she works best with Simon Belmont, God of Whips. Together, they hope to permanently destroy Dracula, who oddly appears in different forms depending on who he faces.
  • Although she does know that there are more friendly vampires in the Pantheon and even had one serve as her High Priest, she's still wary with working alongside them. Receiving aid is the best those allies can expect from her and vice versa. She seems to have an easier time accepting non-vampire demons and cursed humans, as Dante Sparda and the Good Hunter can attest to ever since she founded the Hunter Squad alongside them.
  • Often gets confused with Daphne Blake, who tends to look like her at times. She does respect Daphne and the rest of the Scooby Doo Gang in regards to their trek to stop monsters, applauding at how they stopped the Nibiru Entity without having any known powers or combat skills. Her group is named in their honor.
    • That wasn't her first encounter due to her avatar. A group of zombie hunters also came by to give thanks. Turns out her avatar was involved with killing nazi zombies, helping the group to survive. She managed to stay friends with them despite the confusion.
  • Buffy may not be in contention for the Woobie award, but most of her group have suffered immensely to the point that Sam and Dean became one of their biggest donors. Expect followers of the two to work hand in hand in fighting monsters.
  • Was glad to see Xena enter the Pantheon as the two were among the most popular female protagonists at the time. Their followers have long requested a match to determine the better fighter, a request both women declined (although neither would back down from the challenge when the time comes).
  • Is seen as an inspiration for teens Kim Possible and Juliet Starling who started off in the same ways…just in different fields. Buffy, along with fellow cheerleading heroine and longtime friend Claire Bennet, initially hoped to ascend one of them as the Goddess of Cheerleading. Those efforts were thwarted by Libby, who pointed out that while the two may be cheerleaders, they don't represent their personalities. In the end, she and Claire managed to find spots for both women in different fields, but the four still hold a grudge towards Libby.
  • Although the Scoobies no longer reside in high school, she still despises posse girls such as Libby and the Ashleys who are very much like those that have harassed them in the past.
  • Rumor has it that Sakuya Izayoi was once a follower of Buffy…that is until her defeat at the hands of Remilia Scarlet. Whether this is true or not is speculation, but it would explain why she gives Sakuya a disdained look on her face whenever they fight. The maid's time-stopping powers have proven to be more than a match for Buffy's powers.
  • To her surprise, there were two more deities with Summers as their last name. Although she had a lukewarm reception with Scott Summers, she bonded more easily with Hope Summers. Much of the reason has to do with how similar Hope's situation was with her younger sister Dawn; both hunted down for their mass potential.
  • Struck up an unexpected friendship with Supergirl when they found out that, being blonde action girls with super-human abilities who started out their careers fighting eldritch monsters in their teen years, they had plenty stories to share. To her surprise, both girls also found an alternate reality where they teamed up every so often.
  • Scouted out Maya Fallegeros as a prospect to join her Hunter Squad. Maya sat on the offer for awhile, before ultimately accepting as more evil threats surfaced in the Pantheon. In turn, the squad has now become the Night Hand, with Maya's temple, the City of Dawn, serving as their base of operations. Furthermore, Maya, with Dante's backing, was able to convince both Buffy and Blade to have the latter join the team part-time. While Buffy is still the primary leader of the team due to being the most experienced at that, she has no issue making use of good resources offered by a partner.
  • When Dante went missing in the Underworld cleaning up his brother's mess, Buffy determined they needed someone to fill the void and so invited the drifter called Gene to join the group. It didn't take long for him to accept, and though he is a bit gung-ho about fighting and killing demons and other monsters, the power of the God Hand gives him plenty of reason for it.

    Jimmy Hopkins 
James "Jimmy" Hopkins, God of Bully Hunting
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bullyjh.jpg
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: The Bullworth Academy Emblem.
  • Theme Songs: Bully Main Theme and Walk Theme
  • Alignment: Neutral Good, with some shades of Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Bully Hunters (Codifier of the Trope), Casanovas, The Only Sane Kid in a School of Oddballs, Redhead Wearing a Signature Blue Colored Uniform, Jerks with Soft Spots, Smart, Fast and Short Powerhouses, Suffering Genre Blindness Because Gary Smith Used Him, Being a Proud Momma's Boy.
  • Domains: School, Pranks.

  • Allies:
  • Friendly Enemies: Seymour Skinner
  • Enemies: Gary Smith, Agatha Trunchbull, Eliza and Neil Reagan, Biff Tannen, Libby Chessler
  • Odd Friendship: Aran Ryan
  • Jimmy was always a rebellious student, a huge reason he was expelled from a lot of different schools for the crimes of vandalism, violence, vulgarity, insubordination and arson. After entering Bullworth Academy, he met Gary Smith and he showed Jimmy how to get around Bullworth, but as it turned out Gary was not only a bully but a sociopath as well and double-crossed Jimmy the moment he saw an opportunity. This took Jimmy on a quest to put take control and dominate every clique in the school, whatever the means and defend those that take advantage of weaker students. After taking down Gary, Jimmy was later invited to the Elysium Academy as one of its chief students, becoming an honorary Hall Monitor (A title he isn't very confortable with, given his relationship with the Prefects at Bullworth) and even getting the title of Bully Hunter.
  • Jimmy is usually fairly easy-going and likes to stick up for the weaker students. He may be a shortie but he is not any less dangerous because of it and his fighting skills, while not very perfect, are good enough that he has no trouble keeping up with foes double his size.
  • Despite his anti-heroic stance on bullying, Jimmy is actually a good friend of the Kamen Rider Club. This is mostly because Gentaro Kisaragi found a kindred spirit in getting people to get along with each other, and Jimmy Hopkins respects Gentaro as a friendly delinquent that doesn't bully others. The two sealed their friendship with Gentaro's Secret Handshake and have now become the "Academy Hunters", preparing to capture any and all bullies to administer justice. Jimmy also holds lots of respect for Shun, Miu and JK for many different reasons: Shun for being a Lovable Jock who fights for the side of good because it feels good to do so, Miu because she works hard in order to get to where she is, and JK for his knowledge intel. It's also because all three of them have their own mechas (The King, Queen, and JK Dizer respectively) and is itching to build one of his own mechas to help administer justice.
  • Jimmy decided to be a lot more proactive in fighting bullying, making many friends and plenty of foes along the way. Some people started to praise and even help Jimmy in his attempts at taking down bullies. Some like Kyo Kusanagi, Asuka Kazama and Chie Satonaka respect his combat prowess, with Jimmy often tagging along whenever they run into a problem (running errands and fixing stuff what he usually does).
    • Then there was Makoto Itou, at first Jimmy didn't have a good opinion about him, considering his womanizing nature, but hearing that bullies is the one thing that sets him off, he ended warming up to him. Makoto has even attempted to convince Jimmy to help him deal with both Kotonoha and Sekai, but Jimmy being savvy enough to know that those are bad news, he decided to abstain and only get involved if things get messy.
  • Jimmy is no stranger to meeting eccentric or borderline insane people (He used to think Gary was a friend to him) but becoming friends with Irish boxer Aran Ryan, notoriously for being insane and a cheat, is something he never ever expected. The reason Aran respects him is because in the past he was bullied because of his name pronunciation and so he likes to join him in some bully beatdown if available. While Jimmy appreciates the help, he is a bit wary of the irishman.
  • His days as the Pantheon's Bully Hunter got a lot more difficult once Gary Smith entered the picture. Having learned that his old nemesis manipulated and stole a temple from a deity, Jimmy quickly confronted Gary and kicked him out before anything bad happened. Unfortunately, Gary was here to stay and so Jimmy swore that he would take down Gary whatever the cost. Thankfully, Jimmy made enough friends that Gary had to sneak his way into the House of Villainy to avoid getting ganged up by all of Jimmy's pals, and this time these people aren't as gullible or stupid as the ones at Bullworth were.
  • Speaking of bullying victims, many of those adore Jimmy for standing up for them, even if many would prefer a less violent approach to calming things down. Gary was a huge reason why he ended up befriending both Chihiro and Misao, since they were targetted by Gary and given their history with bullying, he didn't want them to suffer more than they already did. That and in a way both remind him of Pete Kowalski, his one true friend.
  • He is respectful towards teachers that treat him well, even if his general delinquent appearance may say otherwise. While at first he thought Skinner was another useless principal like Crabblesnitch, Jimmy's opinion changed the moment he discovered that, even with his flaws, Skinner wants the best for his students.
    • That said, he hates Agatha Trunchbull for embodying the worst traits of both Mr. Burton and Mr. Hattrick while looking like Edna, Bullworth's cook. The moment Trunchbull caught sight of Jimmy, she wanted nothing but to punish the young man but thankfully, Matilda was there to help Jimmy handle her. After that, both Jimmy and Matilda became friends, usually being her best partner when it comes to keeping the halls of School safe.
  • Besides Gary, he's been keeping tabs in a few notable awful people. He constantly is on the watch of Biff Tannen since at least he is dangerous enough to know how to time travel but when it comes to a fist fight, Jimmy thinks he is just a wuss. He is also not fond of rich assholes like Princess Morbucks or the Reagans, having dealt with the Preppies hasn't left Jimmy with a nice impression of rich people in the first place. He personally has beaten the crap out of Neil a few times after he kept pestering some of his associates and other times because he is one of Gary's confidants.
  • When it comes to female bullies or Alpha Bitches, Jimmy likes to take a less direct approach since he doesn't like hitting women. Libby Chessler and the aforementioned Eliza Reagan have been two of the most frequent female bullies he has encountered and usually to combat this he has enlisted the aid of his female Bully Hunter friends to deal with them if things get physical. Other time though he prefers to just egg them or hit them with a slingshot.
    • That's when he ended up meeting Pippi. Her unassuming looks tricked all bullies into thinking she was just a weird girl, only to get plummeted. Jimmy saw potential in her and since then recruited her as another Bully Hunter friend, usually having her patrol the younger members since they are more likely to be safe with her.
  • Believe or not, he is a very good artist even if Jimmy sells himself short. He tends to visit the House of Craft on ocassion, often because he likes to gather items.
  • Niko Bellic believes to have spotted him once on Liberty City, wandering around the park. Jimmy has never really been to that city and he can't quite confirm Niko's suspicion, especially since apparently this was a more grown up Jimmy. Even then, the similarities of both men made them bond and Jimmy fears that his rebellious nature may land him in a similar life as Niko.
  • Can also be found in School Activities.

  • A fox that's every bit as wily as one would think, Mr. Fox also has a family he tends to, even if that family isn't quite normal. His main job is to try and steal food from three cruel farmers, but he has a fairly good reason for doing so: to feed his family. Those farmers wouldn't go down without a fight, but Fox and his companions were able to outwit them and give his family the food they need regardless of the circumstances.
  • His temple on the surface looks like a fairly scenic landscape, but his home is actually underground. While this meant that it would be easier for anyone trying to stop him to know where he's at, he does have a couple of backup locations underground. He does have these locations far from the paths of deities who have expertise in tunneling.
  • Even though he is aware that there is a House of Food along with the fact that he could just visit that place legally with to get his family meals, he seems to prefer stealing food from amoral people, especially if said people are farmers. It may also have to do with Mr. Fox being wary of ending up with some weird and highly questionable food if he does attempt to steal stuff from that place.
  • It didn't take that long for him to find some poultry in the Pantheon, but trying to get close to them proved to be more challenging than he thought. Foghorn Leghorn was far more crafty than any kind of chicken Mr. Fox had stolen. That and Foghorn is greatly offended by Mr. Fox's primary occupation, regardless of the fox's reasons. If Foghorn is tasked with guarding chickens then chances are he'll be in conflict with Mr. Fox whenever the latter sets foot.
    • Of course, that is nothing compared to what happened when Mr. Fox got his paws on some Cuccos. At first, it didn't seem too difficult to reach them, but by the time he stole six of the Cuccos, they retaliated and Mr. Fox was forced to retreat from a bunch chickens pecking away at him. To add insult to injury, Foghorn was watching the whole debacle from afar and made jokes at the fox's expense. Mr. Fox really wasn't happy with what unfolded.
  • He doesn't like Ratigan all that much due to encountering a rat that worked for the farmers that Mr. Fox was trying to steal. Given that Ratigan has quite a bit of brains, the fox is worried about what would happen if Ratigan targeted him and his family, though Ratigan doesn't care a whole lot to even notice him.
    • Although he doesn't have the same level of animosity towards Twitch as the Plague Rat isn't really malicious, it's clear that Mr. Fox not only distrusts him, but he can't help but feel that things would be very different if Twitch were really a bad guy. Other issues include just how rancid of a lifestyle Twitch has and why anyone would even like moldy cheese.
  • Dr. Zomboss heard about Mr. Fox's exploits in stealing livestock and figured that it would be of use to him to try and steal some edible plants since they are a thorn on Zomboss' side. Mr. Fox wasn't interested in the offer since he would rather steal things on his own accord rather than do so for someone else. Zomboss' goals are also something that bothers Mr. Fox, if only slightly.
  • No attempts came out of him thus far to try and break in to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. At the very least he might be aware of blueprints of the place, but considering how much more advanced the chocolate factory is compared to a simple farm, he hasn't tried to break in for the time being.
  • There were a few farmers present that it led to Mr. Fox deciding to pay them a visit. He found Eustace Bagge to be very mean-spirited, though not on the same level as Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. While Mr. Fox doesn't really hold a grudge against The Farmer, it was clear that the latter isn't happy about having his hard work taken away from him by some crafty animals. Lucky for The Farmer that Mr. Fox doesn't visit him that much since the initial encounter and that Eustace tends to get in some trouble with the Fox on occasion.
  • While he was able to meet a few other foxes, most of them obviously weren't the same as him in terms of their specialty. It didn't stop him from being friendly towards them and respecting how they care about their friends. He is very friendly with Nick Wilde given that they are both wily foxes and used their wits to help them get past problems. Nick's partner Judy is a bit more mixed on Mr. Fox as while she understands that he has a family to support and that Mr. Fox's adversaries are not very kind, she believes that are ways to support family's without getting into trouble.
  • It's not something that comes up frequently, but he did have a job as a newspaper columnist before he returned to being a thief. When it comes to Pantheon life, Mr. Fox is more of a guest columnist for some newspaper and seems to prefer being a thief whenever he isn't asked to write a column.
  • Telling him to stop swiping is not going to get him to stop swiping. At the very least, he'll probably just stop his planned heist at the moment, but he'll likely have a Plan B to try and get that heist completed for good when he gets back to it. Earplugs may or may not be a part of Plan B, but Mr. Fox does have a hunch that his desired items are going to be better protected next time he tries.
  • As compelling as it sounds, he has no plans to steal anything with a high material value such as jewels. That's better left to more skilled thieves. Not that Mr. Fox isn't skilled, but trying to do such a thing is very much beyond what he can do normally. That and food & drink are more necessary to keep him and his family sustained.

  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Negan
  • Being a survivor became first nature to Rick Grimes. So when he had been ascended into the pantheon he quickly drew out his Colt Python prepared to kill the first walker he saw. He didn't trust anyone he didn't know so during his first days in the pantheon. It turned out he was the only person from his group to ascend in the pantheon. The reason being was through Lee and Clementine who felt he was long overdue being free out of the hell Rick had been through.
  • Many deities notice his certain visits to the other houses. When people ask about his actions he simply gives this reply. "I'm doin' stuff and thiiiiinnnnnnnngs."
  • It took Edward Newgate from the Pantheon of Fathers to calm Rick down, and explain there was no danger from walkers in this place. Unlike Lee, however, he didn't have Carl around, which made him very agitated. Edward knew his fatherly love outweighed his role as a god. He promised Rick he would be reunited with his son one day in the pantheon. In a way, the former cop saw a bit of herself in the veteran pirate.
  • He was able to come across Lee and Clementine, the both of them knowing some of the horrors Rick had gone through. Since they had been through the dangers of walkers they got along very well with each other. Like Rick, Lee is very protective of the young and Clementine hoped he would get to meet Rick's son.
    • Like Clementine before him, Rick worried about his infection spreading to the entire Pantheon, since like her he didn't ascend upon death. Thankfully, he has been told that was not the case.
  • Despite Saeko Busujima coming from a different culture, Rick respected her abilities with her sword the Murata-tou. She also reminds him of Michonne another swordsman whom he misses along with Carl. Saeko would love to meet her and see her blade in action.
  • While Rick was trying to relax and come to grips with his new life here some of the best men in fighting bioterrorism came to visit Rick. Chris, Leon, and Claire met Rick first and wanted him to know they were sympathetic to his pain and suffering. They also suggested he speak with others like them who wanted to put an end to virus that would create the zombies or as Rick knew them The Walkers.
    • Taking their advice he visited the House of Health and Diseases where he met Jake and Sherry. They both also were happy to find someone who could survive the undead. Sherry, in particular, was very happy to learn about how much he cared for his son. She was grateful he would be there for him unlike her father who seemed to care more about his work than her.
    • It's through speaking with the various survivor of Umbrella's schemes he's come to despise the kind of people who knowingly make viruses to infect the world. He's made it his personal mission to kill any of these people he comes across for their actions. This includes necromancers who take advantage of the dead for their own gain.
  • Many consider Walter White and Rick Grimes to have a few similar traits to them. They both also came from shows made on a similar network. Rick is quick to point out he needed to survive in a different world. Walter chose to act through criminal means, and if he was still a cop he would want him arrested by his own hands if he got the chance.
  • He gets along with most of The Survival Crew, except for Edward, who he's come to hate.
  • One day Rick came across a note left on the ground. He didn't know who it was from, but the note said the following message. The Pantheon is gonna need Rick Grimes.
  • After the Savior War, the mere sight of the grinning man known as Negan was enough to make Rick point his trademark gun in his face. They were still at odds with each other despite all that's happened before their ascension.
  • Ever since a certain video, Rick was sent over to the House of Health and Diseases to get his ears treated; deafness can be very deadly in the world with a Zombie Apocalypse. Lee Everett and Clementine have been advised to take the same treatment.
