- Above Good and Evil: Doesn't believe in good and evil.
- Black Cloak: He is a hooded miasma-being.
- The Dreaded: Being especially strong and willing to murder anyone, who gets in his way makes him one.
- Grim Reaper: A miasma-like being in a cloak, using a scythe, incredibly powerful and has killed dozens, if not thousands of people? Yes, he's one of the game's closest equivalents to this.
- Physical God: While not a god, he can keep up with the main characters even moreso than some of the Demi-Gods, making him one as well.

- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Put one on the Harbinger.
Deimos: A scientist and a creator of dolls, who seeks to kill the Demi-Gods.
- Bad Boss: Kills a minion for being weak and mind controls the other one for turning against him.
- The Chessmaster: Matches Shadar, despite being weaker. It's his [[Jerkass]] behavior, that ends up costing him dearly.

- Mad Scientist: Uses human corpses to create marionettes.
- Marionette Master: Creates sentient marionettes to make them do, what he wants.

Faust: A monk, who was imprisoned by Deimos. As it turns out, he is Galahanzer's uncle Christopher from 1000 years ago.
- Asshole Victim: Gets imprisoned in a dimention by Shadar. Given, that he murdered his father a millenia ago, it wasn't undeserved. He manages to escape, though.
- Born-Again Immortality: Apollo gave him the "true reincarnation", thus whenever he dies, he gets reborn with all what he remembers from his past lives.
- Evil Old Folks: Is concious for at least a millenia.
- The Mole: He is a servant of Apollo and eventually joins him personally.
- Really 700 Years Old: Played with. While he has a body of a fairly old man, he is capable to remember anything from his past lives.
Narik/Abel: Slade's master. He is actually one of Apollo's pawns, who wants to wipe out humanity.
- Broken Pedestal: Was Slade's master until he revealed his true nature.
- Death Seeker: Living for centuries made him one, as well as a Straw Nihilist.
- Face Death with Dignity: Attempted with Slade after his defeat, but he refused to do so. Short after, Shadar ended up doing this and Abel died without any dignity.
- Hypocrite: Kills Apollo for being genocidal, despite being genocidal himself. Lampshaded by one of the heroes.
- Light Is Not Good: Looks like an angel, but he's anything but good.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: Kills Apollo, the man responsible for all of his evil deeds and one of the genocidal Demi-Gods.
- Self-Made Orphan: He killed his own parents, because they never cared for him.
- Straw Nihilist: Seeks to wipe out anyone, including himself.
- Who Wants to Live Forever?: Definitely not him.
Proteus: The god of the world. He got imprisoned years before the start of Slade's part of the timeline, but seeks to come out. He and some of the Demi-Gods succumbed to madness, prior to the start of the events.
- Abusive Parents: After succumbing to darkness, he becomes this. Ironically, at least some of them had it coming.
- Eldritch Abomination: Or one of the closest things the game has to one.
- God Is Evil: Played with. He succumbed to darkness, but is otherwise capable of a decent speech with Slade's group.
- True Final Boss: Of the first part. The sequel has Shadar as this.
Demi-Gods: Proteus' successors, who tried to make the world something better, but ended up abused by them. Succumbing to hatred, they ended up seeking to wipe out humanity. They consist of Apollo, Loki, Arianna and Odin. Their brother Kahn ended up joining Slade, resisting in the his (Slade's) body and Loki, who only played to be alongside them and stopped after realizing Kahn's or Slade's wishes.
- The Dreaded: Similarly to Shadar, they're all powerful and murderous, and also cause the people to fear them, when they know of the Demi-Gods' existence.
- Fallen Hero: Used to be good people, but them being abused by human turned them to genocidal human-haters.
- Final Solution: Their goal is to wipe out the human race.
- Freudian Excuse: Were abused by humans.
- Jerkass Gods: Seek to wipe out humanity for abusing them.
- Kill All Humans: Considering they were abused by humans for trying to help them. Yet, given, that they were Proteus' Demi-God creations, they couldn't handle it very well, to say the least.
- Kryptonite Factor: Old humans are said to be more effective in killing them. This is confirmed when Apollo gets killed by Abel, an immortal old human.
Apollo: They unofficial leader of the Demi-Gods. He uses manipulation, to convince others of his and his brethren's worldview.
- Asshole Victim: Killed by Abel, one of his pawns.
- Dropped a Bridge on Him: Is killed by Abel, before the heroes had the chance to fight him.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: He is killed by Abel, someone he manipulated into being a [[Straw Nihilist]].
- Manipulative Bastard: Manipulated Abel into becoming the person he is in the present.
- Smug Smiler: At times, since he's a powerful Demi-God and very overconfident in his abilities.
- The Unfought: Downplayed. You get to fight him, but that is not a climatic battle, and when the climatic battle is about to happen, he's already killed by Abel.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: He runs around topless as a show-off, that he's powerful.
- The Worf Effect: Hyped up as the strongest, but ends up killed by his follower.
Loki: One of the four Demi-Gods. He views Kahn as his fellow, rather than a pawn. His actual agenda is to backstab Apollo and the other two Demi-Gods and stop them from executing their genocide.
- Anti-Villain: As it turns out.
- Black Knight: He wears a dark armor.
- Dragon with an Agenda: The only Demi-God to not support Apollo besides Kahn.
- The Mole: He doesn't support Apollo's tactic, but pretends to do.
Arianna: The most sadistic of the Demi-Gods following the incident. She speaks in a polite manner with her brothers, but isn't above using cruel tactics.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: When pitied by Iris for being once broken, but Arianna fell so far, she doesn't even want pity from others, nor is she shown to be broken.
Odin: Another one of the Demi-Gods. He has a grudge against Kahn for unknown reasons.
- Black Knight: He also wears a dark armor.
- Greed: Is known as "The Avaricious" and when revived by Proteus, he gets bribed with reward for beating Slade's group.
- Light Is Not Good: Got a reputation of light and nearly as genocidal as Apollo.
- The Unreveal: It's never explained, why he had a hatred towards Kahn.
Maribel: A member of the government, with a rude attitude, that rivals that of Rhea. Like Rhea, she does have a better side.
- Hero Antagonist: Until later on.
- Face–Heel Turn: Joins Apollo after her second defeat at Slade's hands.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's a jerk, but has a softer side.
- Revenge: Seeks revenge for Narik's murder later on.
- Shadow Archetype: She is essentially, what Rhea could have ended as, if she did succumb to her hatred towards Slade.
- Too Dumb to Live: Fighting the very people, that murdered your leader and most of your comrades, after said leader said not to? Not a wise move at all, and the only reason she survived, was because she was lucky.
