This Savage also doesn't subject his daughter to anywhere ''near'' the abuse that Scandal suffered in the comics, and there's no indication that this Savage is a cannibal (in the comics, it's believed that Savage may have ''invented'' cannibalism).
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He gets one on both ''The Flash'' and ''Legends of Tomorrow'':
** On ''The Flash'', Savage is introduced having stowed away undetected on a cargo ship, [[FauxAffablyEvil thanks the crew for the ride]], then kills them all with ease.
** On ''Legends of Tomorrow'', we first see Savage, having already conquered the world, taking the time to personally gun down an unarmed woman and her young son. Even before we learn the context of this killing, this scene immediately establishes what kind of monster Savage really is.

An immortal super-villain whose evil plans threaten history itself.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: He can't help but laugh at Flash's joke about if his speech was rehearsed or improvised, though he quickly becomes serious again.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Amazingly enough, the crimes of this version of Vandal Savage don't hold a candle to the atrocities of his comics counterpart. Show!Savage associated with a number of despicable people, whereas Comics!Savage ''was'' a number of despicable people (he claims to have been Genghis Khan, Blackbeard, and Jack the Ripper). This Savage also doesn't subject his daughter to anywhere ''near'' the abuse that Scandal suffered in the comics, and there's no indication that this Savage is a cannibal (in the comics, it's believed that Savage may have ''invented'' cannibalism).
* AgeLift: As a result of being a CompositeCharacter with Hath-Set and having his origin tied to the Hawks' origin, Savage is from Middle Kingdom Egypt (about four millennia ago) as opposed to being a Stone Age caveman (different numbers place his origin as anywhere between two million and thirty-one thousand years ago). This gets a MythologyGag when he says learning about time travel was like a caveman being shown fire.
* AGodAmI: The reason why he built a {{Cult}} in the first place. He also comments to Kendra that he considers himself, as an immortal, to be above mortal people.
-->'''Vandal Savage:''' Everyone here is sworn to live and die at my command. Why? Because to them I am a god!
* ArchEnemy: He has some serious history with Hawkman and Hawkgirl, as well as a [[ItsPersonal personal]] grudge with Rip Hunter.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:All of Savage's deaths in the first season finale are very well-deserved.]]
* BadassBoast:
** His quote under "AGodAmI" is a good example.
** He brags to Rip as he is held prisoner aboard the ''Waverider'':
---> '''Savage''': You may be a Time Master, but I am a master of time.
** A suitably [[EvilIsHammy hammy]] boast as he fights the Legends. [[DeadpanSnarker Snart]] has a decent comeback.
---> '''Savage''': Who are you to stand against Vandal Savage, destroyer of empires?!\\
'''Snart''': Leonard Snart, robber of [=ATMs=]!
* BadassLongcoat: His others clothes are kind of plain and workman-like, but he wears an absolutely glorious [[Series/DoctorWho Twelfth Doctor-like]] black coat with red lining. It's also full of knives.
* BadassPreacher: He was an Egyptian high priest in his original life.
* BadBoss: He gives his science team 24 hours to reverse-engineer The Atom's blaster. When one scientist tells Vandal that it'll take days or even weeks, Vandal takes the blaster and shoots him with it.
* TheBeard: Savage, as "Dr. Knox", was seemingly married in the 50s. It does nothing to stop him from coming on to Kendra, implying that the marriage is solely for appearances' sake.
* BeardOfEvil: Sports a BadassBeard and is the show's BigBad.
* BeenThereShapedHistory:
** He apparently taught RobinHood how to use a bow, Harry Houdini how to escape cuffs, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick caused the Yellow River to flood in the XIXth century]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1887_Yellow_River_flood killing two million people]]. Prof. Boardman says he's been doing this for practically ''all'' of history. So far, he's been confirmed to (at least) have been high enough in the Nazi regime to get a spot next to Hitler, was present at JFK's assassination, and convinced Gavrilo Princip to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
** He also has been influenced ''by'' history: Robin Hood teaching him pain resistance and he learned about the "virtues of cutting the carotid artery" from UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper.
* BigBad: He is the "immortal threat" the team must stop from destroying the time stream.
* BigBadEnsemble: Savage is a threat throughout history, but they are also opposed by the Time Masters, [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope who are]] [[BigBadDuumvirate secretly in league with Savage]]. Savage resumes the role of sole BigBad after the Time Masters have been crippled.]]
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: He has a holster for a gun and some modern knives but other weapons he uses are very primitive knives.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:Loses his immortality in the finale due to the radiation he needs for his endgame.]]
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Three of them after being rendered mortal in the first season finale: he gets burned alive by Mick in 1958, a NeckSnap from Sara in 1975, and a knife to the chest followed by electrocution from Kendra and Rip in 2021.]]
* CompositeCharacter: His origin is that of Hath-Set, who in the main DC universe was the Egyptian priest who killed Khufu and Chay-Ara and became fated to slay all their future incarnations throughout history (albeit through reincarnation and not immortality). As Vandal Savage was briefly Hawkman's arch-enemy in the Post-ComicBook/ZeroHour continuity before he was temporarily [[ExiledFromContinuity exiled]], this does have some logic to it.
* TheCorrupter: Only heavily hinted in the first episodes, but seen in action in Episode 10, when he compels young Per Degaton [[spoiler: to kill his own father.]]
* CreepyMonotone: Savage usually speaks in a calm, creepy voice, although he does have his moments of ChewingTheScenery.
* DeadpanSnarker: Savage occasionally demonstrates some dry humour.
--> '''Caleb''': The group that disrupted the arms auction. Any idea who they were?\\
'''Savage''': A man in a robotic suit, weapons that shoot ice and fire, suffice it to say, [[{{Understatement}} they're not from around here]]. [[GenreSavvy I would assume the future]].\\
'''Caleb''': [[ArbitrarySkepticism That's impossible]].\\
'''Savage''': So is immortality.
* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: He causes atrocity after atrocity over the course of 4000 years in order to take his place as brutal tyrannical dictator of the entire world, which he finally succeeds at doing by 2166.
* TheDreaded: He is the reason why the BadFuture is a BadFuture in the first place.
* EntitledToHaveYou: Like any StalkerWithACrush, Savage's "love" for Kendra has more to do with his desire to possess her than with Kendra herself.
* EscapeArtist: He taught ''Harry Houdini'' everything he knew.
* EvilIsPetty:
** He threatens to destroy all of Central City (and later Star City) if Hawkman and Hawkgirl aren't surrendered to him to be killed. He later ''successfully'' kills the two, but because both Green Arrow and The Flash keep on fighting him after that, he still destroys Central City anyway out of spite.
** His first scene in ''Legends of Tomorrow'' has Savage gun down [[WouldHurtAChild a young boy]] for spitting in his face. A SubvertedTrope in this case, as he's been waiting [[TheSlowPath a long time]] to do that, meaning it was likely unrelated.
* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:The Time Masters wanted him in charge of the Earth to stop an AlienInvasion that's coming. It' turns out his endgame is to ''destroy'' time all the way back to when he got his powers to let him take over ''then'' rather than in the present, something far far worse.]]
* EvilMentor: In the 2140's, Savage manipulates Per Degaton into becoming an evil tyrant. Once he has no further use for him, Savage kills Degaton and takes over.
* EvilOverlord: By 2166, he's totally conquered the world. The team's mission statement is to stop this future from coming to be.
* FakeGuestStar: He plays the BigBad and yet he's only credited under the (''regular'') guest stars line-up.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He often acts polite. Emphasis on ''acts''.
* FromASingleCell: He can regenerate from a single cell, unless Hawkgirl delivers a fatal blow to him. [[spoiler:He loses this due to the radiation of the meteors needed for his endgame.]]
* GlassCannon: Of a sort. Savage is normally at basic human tier in terms of durability and combat but he can use mystical abilities through the aid of certain artifacts which lets him hit ''way'' above his weight class.
* GodzillaThreshold: He's such a monster that the only idea about dealing with him is to kill him, nothing else suffices. It's bad enough that when the Flash and Green Arrow disintegrate him before this series, neither hero feels a shred of remorse. Ironically, the only reason [[spoiler:the Time Masters are helping him is because of a coming AlienInvasion that can only be stopped by a world united under Savage's banner]].
* HeroKiller: His arrival on to a scene is often the Legends' cue to hightail it out of the area.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:His endgame involves detonating three meteors at three different time periods. However, the radiation of them 'going critical' strips him of his immortality, allowing the Legends to kill him. ''Three times''.]]
* IfICantHaveYou: Has no problem killing Kendra and her previous incarnations even if he openly lusts for her.
* {{Immortality}}: Which forces the team to fight him in all kinds of different time periods.
* ItsAllAboutMe: At the end of the day, all Savage truly cares about is himself and his own ambitions. He's willing to commit any number of atrocities for the sake of carrying out his plans.
* {{Jerkass}}: Beneath his [[FauxAffablyEvil affable façade]], Savage is a cruel, sadistic bastard who takes pleasure in taunting his enemies and abusing the trust of others. His remarks to Rip about murdering his family are among Savage's most pettily nasty moments.
* KickTheDog: Ends up killing Per Degaton in the future just as he claims the world, after having spent the boy's formulative years tutoring him and watching him grow.
* KnifeNut: Wields a multitude of knives (and god knows how many he has stashed away in his coat.)
* KnightTemplar: Savage frequently claims to be making the world a better place. Given his extreme and horrifying methods, it's a difficult claim to swallow.
* KryptoniteFactor: Items present at the time of Carter and Kendra's original death can be used to kill Savage, [[spoiler:and large amounts of Nth metal radiation can cancel out his immortality.]]
* MadScientist: As "Dr. Knox" in the 1950's, Savage uses an Nth metal meteor to experiment on people.
* MagicStaff: The staff of Horus, which fires energy beams.
* TheManBehindTheMan: He loves being one, as stated by Prof. Boardman. We see him at work in this role in his manipulations of Per Degaton.
-->'''Prof. Boardman:''' He hides in the shadows, never drawing too much attention. In every lifetime, he places himself near the seat of power, sewing seeds of destruction.
* ManipulativeBastard: His many stints as TheManBehindTheMan demonstrate this, as does his grooming of Per Degaton.
* MoralMyopia: Savage has the gall to consider ''Carter'' the bad guy for constantly ruining his attempts to get Kendra to fall in love with him.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: Has killed Carter multiple times, [[spoiler: including his Carter Hall incarnation, but not his Scythian Torvil incarnation]].
* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:How Sara kills him in 1975.]]
* NighInvulnerability: Thanks to his immortality, Savage can regenerate from almost any damage. Unless every atom in his physical being is destroyed or a descendant of Chay-Ara kills him with the same materials that granted Savage his powers.
* OldMaster: This ancient Egyptian is the most unparalleled martial artist so far in the Arrowverse. When he overpowers Mick, he mentions that he is the master of every pressure point and joint-locking technique.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: In TheFifties. Aside from being a MadScientist, he also happens to be a psychiatrist. Given that he's immortal and has ''a lot'' of time on his hands as a result, this is likely a JustifiedTrope.
* OneManArmy: Savage has been shown to easily slaughter large groups. In the first season finale, he butchers a Nazi convoy with contemptuous ease.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: In his NotSoDifferent speech to Rip, he brings the fact he had several children who died of old ages while he's immortal. It's however likely that he doesn't care much about them.
* OutOfContinues: [[spoiler:His endgame plan results in the radiation from the three meteors needed for it rendering him mortal. The Legends take advantage of this and kill him three times over.]]
* OutsideContextProblem: His guest appearances in ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' and ''Series/TheFlash2014'' has no effects on their current StoryArc, but he's still considered a serious threat enough for them to take a detour and fight him.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He wanted to know Shayera as Khufu did, and was close to raping her before Khufu attacked him. He later committed rape by deception when he became involved with one of her reincarnations who didn't yet remember him.
* RealMenCook: As Ray discovers in the fifties, Savage can make one hell of a casserole.
* Really700YearsOld: Even more so than Carter and Kendra; Savage actually lived through over 4000 years of history, rather than reincarnating as the Hawks did.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: He loves befriending powerful and influential people.
* SinisterMinister: He was a Priest of Horus in Ancient Egypt, and evil.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Has not appeared in the teaser trailer. He does on the main ones though.
* TheSocialDarwinist: He shows some inclinations towards this; in the 1970s, he claims to be making the world a better place "one war at a time", and in 2147, he proposes using the Armageddon virus to thin out the overpopulated Earth [[spoiler:and follows through once Tor Degaton is dead]].
* TheSociopath: Sees nothing wrong with murdering and/or experimenting on anyone for the sake of getting the power to rule the world.
* StealthHiBye: Repeatedly in the initial Arrow/Flash crossover that introduced him. Unlike Batman or Oliver, though, he appears to do it with some form of magic.
* StalkerWithACrush: He tries to get Shayera to fall in love with him in every single incarnation, and the fact that he's yet to succeed after 206 tries just makes her even more enticing to him.
* TheStarscream: To Per Degaton. According to history, Savage pretends to be his friend and ally for as long as he needs to, then betrays and kills him to take over the world in his own right.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Savage's goal (besides killing Hawkman and Hawkgirl over and over) is world domination, a feat that he is set to achieve in 2166.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: He stands 6'1 and is definitely a very sinister individual with a few {{Snark Bait}}s here and there.
* TermsOfEndangerment: Always calls Kendra "my love". [[spoiler:She turns it back on him when she kills him at the end of Season 1.]]
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:Gets no less than ''three'' deaths in the Season 1 finale.]]
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: After [[spoiler:manipulating Per Degaton into killing his father]], Savage takes over the Kasnian Conglomerate. He does it again once Per Degaton has outlived his usefulness.
* WeCanRuleTogether: He wants badly to do this with Chay-Ara, but doesn't seem to have much issue with [[IfICantHaveYou alternate plans]].
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Despite the character being from Ancient Egypt, Casper Crump [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent just uses his natural Danish accent]]. Possibly justified given that during his long life, he has roamed the world and has presumably stayed in individual locations for extended periods of time, making his accent "evolve".
* WouldHitAGirl: He's introduced killing a woman in front of her child.
* WouldHurtAChild: He immediately killed the boy Jonas afterwards.
* WorfEffect: Savage goes up and down a lot in terms of being a physical threat. He's lost badly in a fight against Rip Hunter and Kendra, and in the final episode of Season 1 he gets curb-stomped by Mick and Sarah. However, he's always kicked the crap out of Carter whenever he goes up against him and he's beaten Mick and Sarah before. Could be justified in some cases, where they fought an earlier, weaker incarnation of him.

* ForegoneConclusion: According to history, Per Degaton is eventually betrayed and murdered by Savage after conquering most of the world. The Legends' attempt to avert this future [[spoiler:ultimately changes nothing.]]
* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: Due to his role in releasing the Armageddon Virus, the team repeatedly compares him to Hitler and argues about the morality of killing a child to prevent the actions of his future self. [[spoiler:Eventually, Hunter chooses not to kill him and sends him back to his father, hoping he can overcome Savage's influence. This doesn't work and only speeds up his rise to power.]]

->'''Played By:''' Jessica Sipos
Vandal Savage's daughter, and his right hand in 2166.
----
* ActionGirl: Establishes herself as a badass when she stands toe to toe with fellow ActionGirl Sara in a fight and later on effortlessly defeats four soldiers during a training session.
* AdaptationDyeJob: From EvilRedhead in the comics, blonde.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, Vandal Savage's daughters are Scandal Savage and Kassandra Sage. The CompositeCharacter goes with the more traditional spelling of Cassandra.
* AntiVillain: She genuinely believes that Savage is making the world a better place, and pulls a HeelFaceTurn when she realises what a monster her father truly is.
* BadassLongcoat: She's wearing a trenchcoat similar to her father's.
* CompositeCharacter: Seems to be a mix of two of Vandal Savage's daughters, Kassandra Sage and Scandal Savage. Her name is closer to the former while her entire characterization lines in more with the latter.
* DaddysLittleVillain: Again, she's Vandal Savage's daughter.
* TheDragon: For her father during 2166.
* EmotionlessGirl: She's really calm and unfettered.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: She makes out Snart in the crowd, but just smirks and doesn't say anything, allowing him to carry out his plan--demonstrating her confidence. Later, her duel with her subordinates demonstrates both her skill and her mercy.
* HeelFaceTurn: After her HeelRealization, Cassandra sides with the resistance to help bring down her fatherès regime.
* HeelRealization: Delibarately invoked by Snart. After he shows her that her father was behind Per Degaton, a man responsible for Armageddon Virus that killed her mother she realises he's not the man she thought he is and changes sides. Snart even informs Savage it didn't take much effort to convince her, as he'd provided plenty of evidence on his own.
* IceQueen: Spends most of her episode as an EmotionlessGirl.
* IronicName: Cassandra [[note]] Who is he TropeNamer for [[TheCassandra these]] [[CassandraTruth tropes]][[/note]] is a prophet in Greek mythology who is shunned by the people despite her prophecies being accurate.
* MissingMom: Her mother was killed during the Armageddon Virus outbreak.
* ShipTease: She and Snart got lots of FoeRomanceSubtext during her introduction.
* {{Tykebomb}}: The events of Cassandra's entire life, including the death of her mother, were engineered by Vandal to ensure she would become his [[TheDragon Dragon]].

* GiantMook: It is a literal HumongousMecha.

[[folder: General Tropes]]
* ArmorIsUseless: Despite being mostly {{Heavily Armored Mook}}s, The Legends do not have any problems in taking them down.
* {{Cult}}: They are dedicated followers of Vandal Savage who worship him like a God, especially because he share his immortality with them.
* ForTheEvulz: All they care about is to TakeOverTheWorld at all cost.
* HeavilyArmoredMook: They have plenty of budget to buy proper protective gear. [[ArmorIsUseless It hardly helps them, though.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: They do not care about the people they will step into just so they can serve Savage in doing what the hell he wants.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: The 22nd incarnations are obviously {{Expy}}s of the real Nazi. Ironically, Savage himself kills the actual ones during the Season 1 finale.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Their ColorMotif tend to be either red or black, if not both.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to the Time Masters' Red Oni. Of the two BigBadEnsemble, Savage and his group tend to execute their plans discreetly if necessary compared to the Time Masters who directly clashes with Rip's team.

[[quoteright:339:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lot_vandalsavage.jpg]]
->'''Known Aliases:''' Hath-Set, Dr. Curtis Knox (1958), Sasha Mahnovski (1975)
->'''Played By:''' Casper Crump
An immortal super-villain whose evil plans threaten history itself.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: He can't help but laugh at Flash's joke about if his speech was rehearsed or improvised, though he quickly becomes serious again.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Amazingly enough, the crimes of this version of Vandal Savage don't hold a candle to the atrocities of his comics counterpart. Show!Savage associated with a number of despicable people, whereas Comics!Savage ''was'' a number of despicable people (he claims to have been Genghis Khan, Blackbeard, and Jack the Ripper). This Savage also doesn't subject his daughter to anywhere ''near'' the abuse that Scandal suffered in the comics, and there's no indication that this Savage is a cannibal (in the comics, it's believed that Savage may have ''invented'' cannibalism).
* AgeLift: As a result of being a CompositeCharacter with Hath-Set and having his origin tied to the Hawks' origin, Savage is from Middle Kingdom Egypt (about four millennia ago) as opposed to being a Stone Age caveman (different numbers place his origin as anywhere between two million and thirty-one thousand years ago). This gets a MythologyGag when he says learning about time travel was like a caveman being shown fire.
* AGodAmI: The reason why he built a {{Cult}} in the first place. He also comments to Kendra that he considers himself, as an immortal, to be above mortal people.
-->'''Vandal Savage:''' Everyone here is sworn to live and die at my command. Why? Because to them I am a god!
* ArchEnemy: He has some serious history with Hawkman and Hawkgirl, as well as a [[ItsPersonal personal]] grudge with Rip Hunter.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:All of Savage's deaths in the first season finale are very well-deserved.]]
* BadassBoast:
** His quote under "AGodAmI" is a good example.
** He brags to Rip as he is held prisoner aboard the ''Waverider'':
---> '''Savage''': You may be a Time Master, but I am a master of time.
** A suitably [[EvilIsHammy hammy]] boast as he fights the Legends. [[DeadpanSnarker Snart]] has a decent comeback.
---> '''Savage''': Who are you to stand against Vandal Savage, destroyer of empires?!\\
'''Snart''': Leonard Snart, robber of [=ATMs=]!
* BadassLongcoat: His others clothes are kind of plain and workman-like, but he wears an absolutely glorious [[Series/DoctorWho Twelfth Doctor-like]] black coat with red lining. It's also full of knives.
* BadassPreacher: He was an Egyptian high priest in his original life.
* BadBoss: He gives his science team 24 hours to reverse-engineer The Atom's blaster. When one scientist tells Vandal that it'll take days or even weeks, Vandal takes the blaster and shoots him with it.
* TheBeard: Savage, as "Dr. Knox", was seemingly married in the 50s. It does nothing to stop him from coming on to Kendra, implying that the marriage is solely for appearances' sake.
* BeardOfEvil: Sports a BadassBeard and is the show's BigBad.
* BeenThereShapedHistory:
** He apparently taught RobinHood how to use a bow, Harry Houdini how to escape cuffs, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick caused the Yellow River to flood in the XIXth century]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1887_Yellow_River_flood killing two million people]]. Prof. Boardman says he's been doing this for practically ''all'' of history. So far, he's been confirmed to (at least) have been high enough in the Nazi regime to get a spot next to Hitler, was present at JFK's assassination, and convinced Gavrilo Princip to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
** He also has been influenced ''by'' history: Robin Hood teaching him pain resistance and he learned about the "virtues of cutting the carotid artery" from UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper.
* BigBad: He is the "immortal threat" the team must stop from destroying the time stream.
* BigBadEnsemble: Savage is a threat throughout history, but they are also opposed by the Time Masters, [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope who are]] [[BigBadDuumvirate secretly in league with Savage]]. Savage resumes the role of sole BigBad after the Time Masters have been crippled.]]
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: He has a holster for a gun and some modern knives but other weapons he uses are very primitive knives.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:Loses his immortality in the finale due to the radiation he needs for his endgame.]]
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Three of them after being rendered mortal in the first season finale: he gets burned alive by Mick in 1958, a NeckSnap from Sara in 1975, and a knife to the chest followed by electrocution from Kendra and Rip in 2021.]]
* CompositeCharacter: His origin is that of Hath-Set, who in the main DC universe was the Egyptian priest who killed Khufu and Chay-Ara and became fated to slay all their future incarnations throughout history (albeit through reincarnation and not immortality). As Vandal Savage was briefly Hawkman's arch-enemy in the Post-ComicBook/ZeroHour continuity before he was temporarily [[ExiledFromContinuity exiled]], this does have some logic to it.
* TheCorrupter: Only heavily hinted in the first episodes, but seen in action in Episode 10, when he compels young Per Degaton [[spoiler: to kill his own father.]]
* CreepyMonotone: Savage usually speaks in a calm, creepy voice, although he does have his moments of ChewingTheScenery.
* DeadpanSnarker: Savage occasionally demonstrates some dry humour.
--> '''Caleb''': The group that disrupted the arms auction. Any idea who they were?\\
'''Savage''': A man in a robotic suit, weapons that shoot ice and fire, suffice it to say, [[{{Understatement}} they're not from around here]]. [[GenreSavvy I would assume the future]].\\
'''Caleb''': [[ArbitrarySkepticism That's impossible]].\\
'''Savage''': So is immortality.
* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: He causes atrocity after atrocity over the course of 4000 years in order to take his place as brutal tyrannical dictator of the entire world, which he finally succeeds at doing by 2166.
* TheDreaded: He is the reason why the BadFuture is a BadFuture in the first place.
* EntitledToHaveYou: Like any StalkerWithACrush, Savage's "love" for Kendra has more to do with his desire to possess her than with Kendra herself.
* EscapeArtist: He taught ''Harry Houdini'' everything he knew.
* EvilIsPetty:
** He threatens to destroy all of Central City (and later Star City) if Hawkman and Hawkgirl aren't surrendered to him to be killed. He later ''successfully'' kills the two, but because both Green Arrow and The Flash keep on fighting him after that, he still destroys Central City anyway out of spite.
** His first scene in ''Legends of Tomorrow'' has Savage gun down [[WouldHurtAChild a young boy]] for spitting in his face. A SubvertedTrope in this case, as he's been waiting [[TheSlowPath a long time]] to do that, meaning it was likely unrelated.
* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:The Time Masters wanted him in charge of the Earth to stop an AlienInvasion that's coming. It' turns out his endgame is to ''destroy'' time all the way back to when he got his powers to let him take over ''then'' rather than in the present, something far far worse.]]
* EvilMentor: In the 2140's, Savage manipulates Per Degaton into becoming an evil tyrant. Once he has no further use for him, Savage kills Degaton and takes over.
* EvilOverlord: By 2166, he's totally conquered the world. The team's mission statement is to stop this future from coming to be.
* FakeGuestStar: He plays the BigBad and yet he's only credited under the (''regular'') guest stars line-up.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He often acts polite. Emphasis on ''acts''.
* FromASingleCell: He can regenerate from a single cell, unless Hawkgirl delivers a fatal blow to him. [[spoiler:He loses this due to the radiation of the meteors needed for his endgame.]]
* GlassCannon: Of a sort. Savage is normally at basic human tier in terms of durability and combat but he can use mystical abilities through the aid of certain artifacts which lets him hit ''way'' above his weight class.
* GodzillaThreshold: He's such a monster that the only idea about dealing with him is to kill him, nothing else suffices. It's bad enough that when the Flash and Green Arrow disintegrate him before this series, neither hero feels a shred of remorse. Ironically, the only reason [[spoiler:the Time Masters are helping him is because of a coming AlienInvasion that can only be stopped by a world united under Savage's banner]].
* HeroKiller: His arrival on to a scene is often the Legends' cue to hightail it out of the area.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:His endgame involves detonating three meteors at three different time periods. However, the radiation of them 'going critical' strips him of his immortality, allowing the Legends to kill him. ''Three times''.]]
* IfICantHaveYou: Has no problem killing Kendra and her previous incarnations even if he openly lusts for her.
* {{Immortality}}: Which forces the team to fight him in all kinds of different time periods.
* ItsAllAboutMe: At the end of the day, all Savage truly cares about is himself and his own ambitions. He's willing to commit any number of atrocities for the sake of carrying out his plans.
* {{Jerkass}}: Beneath his [[FauxAffablyEvil affable façade]], Savage is a cruel, sadistic bastard who takes pleasure in taunting his enemies and abusing the trust of others. His remarks to Rip about murdering his family are among Savage's most pettily nasty moments.
* KickTheDog: Ends up killing Per Degaton in the future just as he claims the world, after having spent the boy's formulative years tutoring him and watching him grow.
* KnifeNut: Wields a multitude of knives (and god knows how many he has stashed away in his coat.)
* KnightTemplar: Savage frequently claims to be making the world a better place. Given his extreme and horrifying methods, it's a difficult claim to swallow.
* KryptoniteFactor: Items present at the time of Carter and Kendra's original death can be used to kill Savage, [[spoiler:and large amounts of Nth metal radiation can cancel out his immortality.]]
* MadScientist: As "Dr. Knox" in the 1950's, Savage uses an Nth metal meteor to experiment on people.
* MagicStaff: The staff of Horus, which fires energy beams.
* TheManBehindTheMan: He loves being one, as stated by Prof. Boardman. We see him at work in this role in his manipulations of Per Degaton.
-->'''Prof. Boardman:''' He hides in the shadows, never drawing too much attention. In every lifetime, he places himself near the seat of power, sewing seeds of destruction.
* ManipulativeBastard: His many stints as TheManBehindTheMan demonstrate this, as does his grooming of Per Degaton.
* MoralMyopia: Savage has the gall to consider ''Carter'' the bad guy for constantly ruining his attempts to get Kendra to fall in love with him.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: Has killed Carter multiple times, [[spoiler: including his Carter Hall incarnation, but not his Scythian Torvil incarnation]].
* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:How Sara kills him in 1975.]]
* NighInvulnerability: Thanks to his immortality, Savage can regenerate from almost any damage. Unless every atom in his physical being is destroyed or a descendant of Chay-Ara kills him with the same materials that granted Savage his powers.
* OldMaster: This ancient Egyptian is the most unparalleled martial artist so far in the Arrowverse. When he overpowers Mick, he mentions that he is the master of every pressure point and joint-locking technique.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: In TheFifties. Aside from being a MadScientist, he also happens to be a psychiatrist. Given that he's immortal and has ''a lot'' of time on his hands as a result, this is likely a JustifiedTrope.
* OneManArmy: Savage has been shown to easily slaughter large groups. In the first season finale, he butchers a Nazi convoy with contemptuous ease.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: In his NotSoDifferent speech to Rip, he brings the fact he had several children who died of old ages while he's immortal. It's however likely that he doesn't care much about them.
* OutOfContinues: [[spoiler:His endgame plan results in the radiation from the three meteors needed for it rendering him mortal. The Legends take advantage of this and kill him three times over.]]
* OutsideContextProblem: His guest appearances in ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' and ''Series/TheFlash2014'' has no effects on their current StoryArc, but he's still considered a serious threat enough for them to take a detour and fight him.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He wanted to know Shayera as Khufu did, and was close to raping her before Khufu attacked him. He later committed rape by deception when he became involved with one of her reincarnations who didn't yet remember him.
* RealMenCook: As Ray discovers in the fifties, Savage can make one hell of a casserole.
* Really700YearsOld: Even more so than Carter and Kendra; Savage actually lived through over 4000 years of history, rather than reincarnating as the Hawks did.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: He loves befriending powerful and influential people.
* SinisterMinister: He was a Priest of Horus in Ancient Egypt, and evil.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Has not appeared in the teaser trailer. He does on the main ones though.
* TheSocialDarwinist: He shows some inclinations towards this; in the 1970s, he claims to be making the world a better place "one war at a time", and in 2147, he proposes using the Armageddon virus to thin out the overpopulated Earth [[spoiler:and follows through once Tor Degaton is dead]].
* TheSociopath: Sees nothing wrong with murdering and/or experimenting on anyone for the sake of getting the power to rule the world.
* StealthHiBye: Repeatedly in the initial Arrow/Flash crossover that introduced him. Unlike Batman or Oliver, though, he appears to do it with some form of magic.
* StalkerWithACrush: He tries to get Shayera to fall in love with him in every single incarnation, and the fact that he's yet to succeed after 206 tries just makes her even more enticing to him.
* TheStarscream: To Per Degaton. According to history, Savage pretends to be his friend and ally for as long as he needs to, then betrays and kills him to take over the world in his own right.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Savage's goal (besides killing Hawkman and Hawkgirl over and over) is world domination, a feat that he is set to achieve in 2166.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: He stands 6'1 and is definitely a very sinister individual with a few {{Snark Bait}}s here and there.
* TermsOfEndangerment: Always calls Kendra "my love". [[spoiler:She turns it back on him when she kills him at the end of Season 1.]]
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:Gets no less than ''three'' deaths in the Season 1 finale.]]
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: After [[spoiler:manipulating Per Degaton into killing his father]], Savage takes over the Kasnian Conglomerate. He does it again once Per Degaton has outlived his usefulness.
* WeCanRuleTogether: He wants badly to do this with Chay-Ara, but doesn't seem to have much issue with [[IfICantHaveYou alternate plans]].
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Despite the character being from Ancient Egypt, Casper Crump [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent just uses his natural Danish accent]]. Possibly justified given that during his long life, he has roamed the world and has presumably stayed in individual locations for extended periods of time, making his accent "evolve".
* WouldHitAGirl: He's introduced killing a woman in front of her child.
* WouldHurtAChild: He immediately killed the boy Jonas afterwards.
* WorfEffect: Savage goes up and down a lot in terms of being a physical threat. He's lost badly in a fight against Rip Hunter and Kendra, and in the final episode of Season 1 he gets curb-stomped by Mick and Sarah. However, he's always kicked the crap out of Carter whenever he goes up against him and he's beaten Mick and Sarah before. Could be justified in some cases, where they fought an earlier, weaker incarnation of him.

!!Per Degaton
->'''Played By:''' Cory Gruter-Andrew (young)
One of history’s greatest monsters and a key ally in Vandal Savage’s rise to power in the 22nd century.
----
* CreepyChild: He looks up to Savage, and takes on a number of his less admirable traits even as a child.
* TheDragon: Rip acknowledged him as Savage's most important ally.
* EvilOverlord: He eventually becomes a tyrant considered the 22nd century's equivalent to Adolf Hitler.
* EvilRedhead: This little bastard sports a red buzz cut.
* {{Expy}}: As Rip points out, he is Rip's future's equivalent to Adolf Hitler.
* ForegoneConclusion: According to history, Per Degaton is eventually betrayed and murdered by Savage after conquering most of the world. The Legends' attempt to avert this future [[spoiler:ultimately changes nothing.]]
* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: Due to his role in releasing the Armageddon Virus, the team repeatedly compares him to Hitler and argues about the morality of killing a child to prevent the actions of his future self. [[spoiler:Eventually, Hunter chooses not to kill him and sends him back to his father, hoping he can overcome Savage's influence. This doesn't work and only speeds up his rise to power.]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He whole-heartedly trusts Vandal Savage. It ends about as well you might think.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: An evil version with Savage. Unfortunately, Savage is a FalseFriend.
* MommasBoy: He has a dream where he is baking cookies with his mother.
* TheScapegoat: Savage ultimately uses his murder of him as a means to paint himself as a VillainWithGoodPublicity.

* {{Tykebomb}}: Vandal Savage mentors him from infancy to become a ruthless dictator.
* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:His father was willing to let the Legends escape to save his life. Per Degaton still murders his father with little more than a whispered apology.]]

[[folder:Cassandra Savage]]
!!Cassandra Savage
->'''Played By:''' Jessica Sipos
Vandal Savage's daughter, and his right hand in 2166.
----
* ActionGirl: Establishes herself as a badass when she stands toe to toe with fellow ActionGirl Sara in a fight and later on effortlessly defeats four soldiers during a training session.
* AdaptationDyeJob: From EvilRedhead in the comics, blonde.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, Vandal Savage's daughters are Scandal Savage and Kassandra Sage. The CompositeCharacter goes with the more traditional spelling of Cassandra.
* AntiVillain: She genuinely believes that Savage is making the world a better place, and pulls a HeelFaceTurn when she realises what a monster her father truly is.
* BadassLongcoat: She's wearing a trenchcoat similar to her father's.
* CompositeCharacter: Seems to be a mix of two of Vandal Savage's daughters, Kassandra Sage and Scandal Savage. Her name is closer to the former while her entire characterization lines in more with the latter.
* DaddysLittleVillain: Again, she's Vandal Savage's daughter.
* TheDragon: For her father during 2166.
* EmotionlessGirl: She's really calm and unfettered.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: She makes out Snart in the crowd, but just smirks and doesn't say anything, allowing him to carry out his plan--demonstrating her confidence. Later, her duel with her subordinates demonstrates both her skill and her mercy.
* HeelFaceTurn: After her HeelRealization, Cassandra sides with the resistance to help bring down her fatherès regime.
* HeelRealization: Delibarately invoked by Snart. After he shows her that her father was behind Per Degaton, a man responsible for Armageddon Virus that killed her mother she realises he's not the man she thought he is and changes sides. Snart even informs Savage it didn't take much effort to convince her, as he'd provided plenty of evidence on his own.
* IceQueen: Spends most of her episode as an EmotionlessGirl.
* IronicName: Cassandra [[note]] Who is he TropeNamer for [[TheCassandra these]] [[CassandraTruth tropes]][[/note]] is a prophet in Greek mythology who is shunned by the people despite her prophecies being accurate.
* MissingMom: Her mother was killed during the Armageddon Virus outbreak.
* ShipTease: She and Snart got lots of FoeRomanceSubtext during her introduction.
* {{Tykebomb}}: The events of Cassandra's entire life, including the death of her mother, were engineered by Vandal to ensure she would become his [[TheDragon Dragon]].
