Added DiffLines:

* MarriageOfConvenience: His girlfriend Elpis would like to enter into one with him, as she has political ambitions to soothe tensions between the human and Isu populations of Atlantis. That said, when asked if they're in love, Elpis answers that she's not sure Isu men love in the first place. She seems to grow more attached to the Eagle Bearer in 3 interractions than she is to him after so long as his paramour, seeing as she kills him in order to save the Eagle Bearer from his wrath.

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: A rare villainous portrayal of The Queen Of The Underworld. She's an iron-fisted dictator over the citizens of Elysium who blinded a man for the grave offense of not being greatful enough about the "paradise" she created. Naturally, there's a rebellion among the humans rising up against her.



* ItsAllAboutMe: Everything she does serves herself, and only herself. The whole rebellion against her arose because she adamantly refuses to let the glorious dead move on to their next life, and the sole reason she does that is because she feels that if she can't leave Elysium, nobody else shall, too.

* CombatParkour: He does quite a lot of fancy jumps during his boss-battles.



* TheBadGuyWins: Despite the fact that the ''entire'' Elysium leads up to a grand battle to dethrone her, and Adonis' rebellion ''does'' succeed in defeating her forces, in the end it doesn't really matter. She crushes all of her conspirators (and also possibly disfigures Adonis), kills Hermes, curses Hekate, and tosses the Eagle Bearer into Tartaros to be killed by Cerbe(Ros), without ever having to partake in any fight herself.



* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While her proclaimed "love" for Adonis is mostly BS and selfish, she does seem to genuinely love her mother Demeter and speaks of her warmly. Additionally, her friendship with Hekate seems to have been pretty genuine up until she realized Hekate had other ulterior motives.



* AsYouKnow: She feels the need to explain to Hermes that the key to Tartaros is hidden in Ros' collar despite the fact that he was the one who made the key in the first place.



* HiddenDisdainReveal: Should Persephone actually turn on her, the first thing Hekate yells is she thinks Persephone is terrible at ruling Elysium. And also, she hates her dress.

Added DiffLines:

* KarmaHoudini: Surprisingly, she gets the lightest "punishment" from Persephone if exposed for her treachery. All she gets is a truth curse which makes her unable to lie, which while inconvienent, is nothing compared to being fed to Cerberos like the Eagle Bearer, or blinded and disfigured like Adonis, or ''killed'' like Hermes.


Added DiffLines:

* ShippingTorpedo: If the player has been romancing Adonis, she calls them out for it and sternly warns against getting in the middle of a God's LoveTriangle. To be fair, it is probably her only legitimately decent advice that isn't designed as an elaborate trap and the player should probably heed it if they'd like to avoid Adonis being disfigured in the finale of the chapter.

!!!'''Appears in:''' ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedValhalla''

An Isu alive during the time of the Great Catastrophe.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: Most of the information about her comes second-hand from Hildiran, which is filtered through seventy-five thousand years. The AI met in the Eden Ring Station at least elaborates as to what she actually was in Isu society, and the broader circumstances of what happened.
* BestServedCold: She learned about Odin and his inner circle making themselves Sages, and didn't take it well. Her coup was foiled, and she was locked up. Before she died, she managed to pass word along to her daughter with instructions to find Odin's reincarnation and kill them.
* BlingOfWar: Her Valkyrie armor, which Eivor gets for herself, is chiefly gold.
* GeniusBruiser: She was chief manager of the Eden Ring Station located under what by the 10th century CE is Ravensthrope, and judging by the armor she wore no stranger to picking fights.
