History Characters / AngelsOfDeath

* HateSink: The two of them are horrible abusive parents who severely mistreated their daughter and each other and Rachel's father makes it clear that he has no problem with killing her after she witnesses him kill her mother. It says something that even ''[[SerialKiller the other Floor Masters]]'' are more likable than these two.

It says something that even [[SerialKiller ''the other Floor Masters'' are more likable than these two.

* DeadlyDoctor: He specializes in tearing the eyes out of people, and wants to do so to Rachel.

* DragonInChief: While he is technically merely the second floor master and servant of Grey, he is the one who recruited the killers to be the building's floor masters, and manipulates all of them to keep Rachel in the tower.

* PostFinalBoss: After [[FaceHeelTurn Rachel herself]], he is the last enemy standing between Zack and getting Rachel out of the tower, but only shows up after the climax involving Ray and Zack bashing their way up a massive staircase, and is quickly beaten by Gray.

* SlasherSmile: Whips one out after he has captured Rachel, and shows a much more sinister side to his reasons for 'helping' her. He also smiles this way frequently in both the anime and mangas.

* AlasPoorVillain: Despite his desire to kill Rachel and antagonizing Zack repeatedly, his final moments in the anime make him more pitiable and sad.

* CuteAndPsycho: At first appears to be a cheerful and talkative child, but comes off as unsettling due to his job as the Tower's grave-keeper and his unhealthy infatuation with Rachel.

* EntitledToHaveYou: Eddie's sweet on Rachel, but she just doesn't feel the same way about him, and wanting Zack to kill her instead of Eddie under admittedly-questionable logic. During the hallucinatory trial, he outright claims Rachel wronged him by refusing to return his feelings, and [[ObliviousToTheirOwnDescription repeatedly calls her someone selfish who doesn't respect other people's feelings]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be a SerialKiller and (possible) necrophiliac, but, as a grave-digger, neither he nor Shin like grave-robbers. When one does appear in ''Episode 0'', they go after him.

* FreudianExcuse: He grew up in a large family where his hard work as a grave-digger was overlooked in favor of his elder brother Albert, who [[BigBrotherBully regularly used him as a literal punching bag]]. Likewise he rarely gets anything of his own, constantly ending up with his elder brothers hand-me-downs. This resentment leads to him viewing the family pets he buries as the only thing he can really call his own once they're buried in graves of his making. After Albert kills one of the family pets and Eddie finds no pleasure in burying it like he has all the others, he realizes that since Albert was the one to have the animal's last moments then Eddie couldn't call the pet his own. With this in mind he decides to save the rest of the family pets from Albert by killing them and burying them. He found such pleasure in making them his in this way that he eventually turned to people too.

* ShovelStrike: His main weapon as well as his tool as a grave-digger.

* WeakButSkilled: His strength is dwarfed when compared to Zack, but he makes good use of his floor by being able to see in the dark and dodge with his agility, and can use his shovel as an ImprovisedWeapon.

* ChildhoodFriend: Her backstory in the manga is presented from the point of view of a girl named Lucy who Cathy knew from childhood and was utterly obsessed with her. They even became prison wardens together at the same institution and Lucy committed any punishment Cathy asked of her. Sadly for Lucy, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Cathy had no qualms about also punishing her for her sins]].

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Subverted in regards to her parents; when they were murdered, she felt nothing. As for Lucy, she claims to love her but is willing to brutally murder her precisely because she loves her, so her 'love' only ''emphasizes'' her cruelty.

* MeaningfulName: Cathy '''''Ward''''' was a prison guard, and has modeled her floor as a prison with herself as the warden.

* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: In school, she was an AlphaBitch (albeit a murderous one). When she grew up, she became a sadistic prison guard dedicated to torturing her prisoners, then was recruited into becoming a floor master, wherein she would host a DeadlyGame and force anyone who arrived into it.

* VillainousBreakdown: When Zack [[HeroicSacrifice turns his scythe on himself instead of Rachel]], she grows furious that she will never get the opportunity to punish Zack, and prepares to give Rachel an extra painful death to compensate. Then Rachel shoots her and Zack cuts her up, and she completely loses it.

* OddNameOut: He is the only one with a nickname consisting of one syllable, and refers to his last name instead of his first.

Rachel's mom and dad. They often fought over everything, and neglected her.

!!The Tower Inhabitants

The main character. A girl trapped in the Tower who wishes to die. She teams up with Zack to escape the tower, promising to let him kill her when they escape. Is actually the B1 floor master.

* EntitledToHaveYou: Eddie's sweet on Rachel, but she just doesn't feel the same way about him, and wanting Zack to kill her instead of Eddie under admittedly-questionable logic. During [[spoiler: the hallucinatory trial]], he outright claims Rachel wronged him by refusing to return his feelings, and [[ObliviousToTheirOwnDescription repeatedly calls her someone selfish who doesn't respect other people's feelings]].

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Cannot understand why Rachel would choose Zack over himself to be her murderer, constantly bringing up his love for her and how he wants to keep her beautiful in death. [[spoiler: Of course, [[SubvertedTrope it turns out "good" might be a bit of a stretch]].]]
* ExpressiveMask: Not so much in his initial appearances, but [[spoiler:during the trial later on, his hallucinatory self]] often shows a lot more emotion with the creepy sack-mask, including smiling and frowning with the mask's "mouth" and even blushing while gushing about what he likes about Rachel.

* TheAtoner: Rachel feels immense guilt for for the state of her own self and murder of her father (although it's in self-defense) before later sewing her parent's bodies together to make her own 'perfect family' after finding out that there's no way God would ever accept and bless her. This is why she wants Zack to kill her- she believes that no one will ever forgive her. She later comes to terms with it and is no longer seeking forgiveness for herself, though she still wishes to be killed by Zack’s hand.

* TheHeroDies: [[AmbiguousEnding Possibly]]. Whether or not Zack fulfills his promise to kill her is certainly not confirmed, as Word of God himself implies both Ray and Zack survive.

* SecretlySelfish: While she tries to paint herself as morally superior, for a large part of the story she only helps and uses Zack for her own goals, with zero regard for anyone around her. After examining her, Gray uses this against her when he convicts her as a witch. Rachel doesn't take this revelation all too well.

* SympatheticMurderer: She is a confirmed killer, and shows some AxCrazy tendencies, but the only person she actually killed is her abusive father, when he is planning to kill ''her''. The problem is her obsessive taxidermy to "own" something does ''not'' indicate someone stable.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Despite her mental issues, she is basically the only floor master who is not a murderous psycho.

* FinalBoss: After [[FaceHeelTurn Rachel herself]], he is the last enemy standing between Zack and getting Rachel out of the tower.

* ManiacTongue: When his true colors are revealed, his expression changes and he has an elongated tongue sticking out of his mouth to show how far gone he is.

* EntitledToHaveYou: Eddie's sweet on Rachel, but she just doesn't feel the same way about him, and wanting Zack to kill her instead of Eddie under admittedly-questionable logic. During [[spoiler: the hallucinatory trial]], he outright claims Rachel wronged him by refusing to return his feelings.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be a SerialKiller and necrophiliac, but, as a grave-digger, neither he nor Shin like grave-robbers. When one does appear in ''Episode 0'', they go after him.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Cannot understand why Rachel would choose Zack over himself to be her murderer, constantly bringing up his love for her and how he wants to keep her beautiful in death.

* MalevolentMaskedMen: He's always seen wearing a helmet that masks his entire face (at least in the game - his face is shown in the anime, manga and the game adaptation of his backstory).

* NervesOfSteel: Once she remembers her past, Zack is unable to scare her no matter how hard he tries to intimidate her thanks to the PowerOfApathy. It's for this reason that she bores him and he refuses to kill her until she gets her emotions back.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Downplayed. While still a SerialKiller, he's more mellow in the anime compared to the game, where he's very simpleminded and animalistic.

* NobleDemon: He's an AxCrazy SerialKiller who will murder you without hesitation, but he has his own principles which he abides by and is able to form a truce which he will respect if given the right motivation. He also does not draw out a person's death while on the hunt, unlike the other floor masters who will gleefully torture victims.

* PetTheDog: Despite his disgust for her earlier, he genuinely compliments Rachel for being useful to him.

* NervesOfSteel: Once she remembers her past, Zack is unable to scare her no matter how hard he tries to intimidate her. It's for this reason that she bores him and he refuses to kill her until she gets her emotions back.

* GutturalGrowler: Talks in a very raspy voice.

* MeaningfulName: Eddie '''''Mason's''''' job and hobby is shaping headstones, like a stonemason.
