History Characters / BlackMoonChronicles

* HeroesWantRedheads: She has burning red hair. After all, she is a succubus, so it highlights both her connection to the fires of hell and her fiery personality.

* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler:There's no outcome in his game with Lucifer where he really loses. If Wismerhill stops Haazheel, then Pazuzu wins against Lucifer and probably be killed if his boss ever finds him but his son will carry on his legacy regardless. If Wismerhill is destroyed by Haazheel, then Pazuzu can join Lucifer for another game of chess on the ruins of a now demon-ruled world.]]

* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler:The Oracle is actually a god''dess''... and when freed after eons of imprisonment, she's quite keen on... intimate contact. [[CoitusEnsues Cue threesome with Wis and Hellaynnea]].]]

* HornyDevils: She's a succubus. She also doesn't mind sharing Wis one bit (she even organises and executes the recruitment of his harem, which was her idea in the first place anyway).

* MsFanservice: The protagonist's main squeeze is a [[HornyDevils succubus]]. 'nuff said.

* AbusiveParents: Bey's stepfather wasn't any kinder to him, largely because Ghorghor was the result of [[ChildByRape an ogre raping the woman he was in love with]] during an attack on their mountain village. He stayed his hand from killing Ghorghor at birth because of his mother's pleading, but after she died he threw out Ghorghor for good. Ghorghor, finally fed up with the years of abuse, kills the man before leaving the town.

* UnwittingInstigatorofDoom: [[spoiler: Wismerhill's father appears and reveals to him that he was manipulated into serving the Black Moon. But he also points out to him that he was able to achieve greatness on a rare level, and that he can do good or maybe better on the good guys' side.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Parsifal and his children are pretty much the only ones with an unusual hair color.

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: She meets a FateWorseThanDeath thanks to two demons, for no real reason save giving him a fight scene and a bout of angst. [[SatelliteLoveInterest Wis gets over it pretty quickly though, and she is never mentioned again.]]

* EvilOldFolks: He's the leader of the [[ReligionOfEvil Black Moon]] and the forces of evil opposed to the Empire of Lynn and looks downright ancient.

* WalkingSpoiler: Really, a good chunk of the plot is the series of reveals about his true nature and that of his plans that are spoilered above, and their meaning and consequences.

Under construction.

* SociopathicHero: While several of the protagonists show signs of this, Pile-ou-Face is probably the best example; one gets the impression he'd get along famously with [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Belkar Bitterleaf]]. In his first appearance his personality depended on which of his swords he drew, the blue-glowing peaceful one and and hellish-red psychotic one. Or so he claimed; he's maintained a standard LovableRogue personality over the entire series.

* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler:He devours Haazheel's screaming soul after he's defeated.]]

* TopWife: After becoming emperor, Wismerhill acquires a RoyalHarem of 12 wives, each of whom would qualify as the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman in her own right. However, Hellaynnea, who is a succubus, is the one he spends most time with. Not so incidentally, she is his only wife who [[HeirClubForMen bore him a son]], while his others all bore him daughters. Since she arranged all these marriages for him as well, it's all but guaranteed that she engineered this.

* PsychoticSmirk: His default expression. If you see him with this expression you should worry... If you see him with another... run (not that it'll do you any good).

* TheAntichrist: He was fathered by Lucifer himself to bring about the end of the world.

* EvilMentor: Haazheel to Wismerhill, as he grants him entry to the highest orders of the Black Moon to teach him TheDarkArts and make Wismerhill a dark general in his war against the Empire of Lynn.

* GodhoodSeeker: His goal is to be raised to the level of a true god by his father, Lucifer.
* HalfHumanHybrid: He's half-demon and half-human.

* TheDragon: Greldinard, Baron of Moork, to Haazheel Thorn. Wis himself becomes this for a while when both the former [[TheManBehindTheMan decide to lay low for a while]].

* TheFaceless: He never removes his helmet (or his armor) on-panel once through the whole series. The closest we get is showing his hands going up, then going back down with the helmet, while contemplating swearing loyalty to [[spoiler:Wis or Haazeel]]. Eventually in les Arcanes de la Lune Noire, it is revealed that he's [[spoiler: half human and half orc; his adoptive mother was an orc who magically merged his body with her stillborn's]].

* TinTyrant: He wears an impressive suit of red armor that he never takes off, while also serving as the Baron of Moork and the right-hand of Haazheel Thorne.

* BlackKnight: Haahzeel's most elite knights are clad in black armor and controlled by him through their rings. Wismerhill eventually becomes their leader, and has to go through a lengthy ritual that leaves him as some sort of half-human half-ascended being.

* BigBadWannabe: He's plotting to take the throne of the Emperor. Unfortunately for him, he fails to measure up to Haazheel and Whismerhill. [[spoiler: He ends up unceremoniously castrated and burned by Hellheyna after attempting to make her his mistress.]]

* BadBoss: His demonic minions know better than to annoy him. A firing in hell is pretty literal.

Baron of Moork and a general in Haahzeel's army.

* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:Haazheel Thorn appears to be directing the Black Moon in its genocidal war against the Empire of Lhynn, but he is actually under orders from Lucifer to create a favorable enough situation that he can just stroll in and TakeOverTheWorld to make it a new Hell (with every inhabitant's soul as a bonus)]].

* EyepatchOfPower: [[TheStarscream Frater Sinister]] has his eye gouged out by the dragonlord he was allied with when his insurrection against the emperor falls apart, and has to wear a black eyepatch from then on as he openly joins the forces of evil.

* HalfHumanHybrid: He's half-elf and half-human. [[Spoiler:In reality, half-''demon'' and half-human.]]

* RapePillageAndBurn: He took over a warband of thieves and outlaws and led them on murderous campaigns throughout the empire before meeting up with Wis and Pilou.

* YouKilledMyMother: Wismerhill eventually repays his stepfather for his previous murder of Wis's mother and the abuse he suffered at the lord's hands years later by hacking off his fingers and letting him fall to his death.

Wis's first and best friend.

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: Feydriva, Wismerhill's first LoveInterest, meets a FateWorseThanDeath thanks to two demons, for no real reason save giving him a fight scene and a bout of angst. [[SatelliteLoveInterest Wis gets over it pretty quickly though, and she is never mentioned again.]]
* ThongOfShielding: Feydriva wears a ChainmailBikini which exposes a fair amount of her glutes, getting her attention from quite a number of men (and dwarfs).

* BestHerToBedHer: Hellaynnnea, a [[HornyDevils succubus]], offers to serve Wismerhill after he spares her life and becomes his consort. This is right after she played a big role in killing Wismerhill's previous girlfriend Fey.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Wismerhill's lover Hellaynnea has burning red hair. After all, she is a succubus, so it highlights both her connection to the fires of hell and her fiery personality.

* AbusiveParents: Ghorghor Bey's stepfather wasn't any kinder to him, largely because Ghorghor was the result of [[ChildByRape an ogre raping the woman he was in love with]] during an attack on their mountain village. He stayed his hand from killing Ghorghor at birth because of his mother's pleading, but after she died he threw out Ghorghor for good. Ghorghor, finally fed up with the years of abuse, kills the man before leaving the town.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Ghorghor Bey is a dreaded warlord who could snap a person in half thanks to his enormous size. However, he dearly loved his late mother, since she was pretty much the only person in his village who loved the half-ogre boy, [[ChildByRape a result of her being raped]] during an ogre attack. He makes a point to [[GraveMarkingScene visit her grave]] when he and his army are marching through the area when he's an adult.
* ImmortalityInducer: Ghorgor Bey has a ring of regeneration in his nose which he stole from another half-ogre sent to kill him.

* AbusiveParents: Subverted with Dinard: he kills both his kinda adoptive fathers (the human priest who showed him mercy, and the orc chieftain who let him in the tribe), but in both cases out of necessity (to spare the first being tortured, and the second was a SuicideByCop so Dinard could show his worth as leader). He is genuinely sad for both, even though they forgive him and die at peace.

* TheFaceless: Greldinard never removes his helmet (or his armor) on-panel once through the whole series. The closest we get is showing his hands going up, then going back down with the helmet, while contemplating swearing loyalty to [[spoiler:Wis or Haazeel]]. Eventually in les Arcanes de la Lune Noire, it is revealed that he's [[spoiler: half human and half orc; his adoptive mother was an orc who magically merged his body with her stillborn's]].

* TinTyrant: Greldinard wears an impressive suit of red armor that he never takes off, while also serving as the Baron of Moork and the right-hand of Haazheel Thorne.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: [[TheEmperor Emperor Haghendorf]] has maintained his position as supreme monarch of the Empire of Lynn by nearly constant warfare. He also rides the biggest dragon in the empire into battle.

* HeroAntagonist: Haghendorf stands opposed to Wismerhill and Haazheel Thorn for much of the comic and is basically trying to defend tons of lives from Haazheel's evil.
* OldSoldier: Emperor Haghendorf is already an old man by the time of the main storyline, but he remains as always a FourStarBadass who commands the imperial armies against all its enemies, has his personal brigade of war dragons, and is still one of the best swordsmen in the world. AuthorityEqualsAsskicking indeed.

Chief of the Knights of Light.

* BigBadWannabe: Frater Sinister, who plots to take the throne of the Emperor. Unfortunately for him, he fails to measure up to Haazheel and Whismerhill. [[spoiler: He ends up unceremoniously castrated and burned by Hellheyna after attempting to make her his mistress.]]

* TheStarscream: Fratus Sinister, [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder to pretty much anyone else who's in power]].

Chief of the Knights of Justice.

* ThePaladin: Lord Parsifal, the Grand Master of the Knights of Justice, is a completely devout and heroic warrior who fights on the emperor's side in various wars, though he specifies that he serves God alone. His counterpart Frater Sinister of the Knights of Light is both corrupt and [[TheStarscream ambitious]].
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Parsifal. He and his children are pretty much the only ones with an unusual hair color.

* VillainDecay: Lucifer is flat-out ''terrifying'' during his main series appearances, as a FauxAffablyEvil Prince of Hell with ultimate plans to annihilate the entire human race and a habit of devouring screaming souls. In the SequelSeries, Lucifer and his minions track down Wismerhill and the other survivors to the new Earth, but the entire demonic army is quickly curb-stomped and Lucifer himself is sealed away by Methraton.
