[[folder: Other Heroes and Allies]]

!!Peter Wisdom a.k.a. [[spoiler: Regulus Black]]

Agent, then Director, of [=MI13=], mutant, [[spoiler: wanded wizard]] and protégé of Nick Fury. Like his canon counterpart, he has a tendency to wear suits, smoke and snark.
----
[[hardline]]

* TheAtoner: Pretty much his raison d'etre.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Albeit a somewhat rumpled one. While wearing it, he went toe to toe with [[spoiler: the Winter Soldier]] and survived the experience.
* BadassLongCoat: Occasionally wears one over the suit.
* CompositeCharacter: Of Marvel's Peter Wisdom and [[spoiler: Regulus Black]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: He used to be Regulus Black, a Death Eater]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Occasionally.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: When he takes control of [=MI13=], he converts abandoned and disused portions of the London Underground into a series of bases to operate out of.
* FamedInStory: Not to any great extent, but he's known and feared.
* FourStarBadass: On his promotion to the Directorship of [=MI13=], fighting on the front lines.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Seems to occupy this position among British intelligence, as no one knows where he comes from and consequently, don't trust him. Chapter 70 reveals that the PM likes him, finding his confidence reassuring.
* GoodIsNotNice: Much like his mentor, Nick Fury, he's grumpy, snarky and ruthless, he won't blink an eye before manipulating a genuinely good person into doing what he wants.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Notes to Jackie Falsworth that he picked the habit up from John Constantine.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: He used to be a Death Eater before he realised what they were really like]].
* TheHunter: Used to be this, gaining a reputation. Now he runs an entire organisation of these.
* InterServiceRivalry: M doesn't like or trust him and he seems intent on picking a fight with the Ministry of Magic - specifically, he intends for [=MI13=] to supplant them as chief handlers of the supernatural in Britain.
* ManipulativeBastard: Successfully blackmails Wanda into being his ace in the hole [[spoiler: by threatening to tell her daughter, Hermione, that Wanda is her mother]].
* MysteriousPast: InUniverse very few people know who he used to be, which is why most of his peers don't trust him.
* OverRankedSoldier: Even more than Nick Fury - he becomes Director of [=MI13=] at ''31''. [[JustifiedTrope This, however, is because he's one of the few surviving senior Agents and, as M admits, very good at his job.]]
* PlayingWithFire: His hot knives.
* PreMortemOneLiner: In chapter 71 to a luckless HYDRA Agent, part of a team lured into a trap.
--> I'll let you in on a little secret, sunshine. That intel? It wasn't good.
* ShipTease: With his right hand woman, [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Jessica Drew]]. Somewhat subverted, though, as his POV section makes reference to his realising that he'd have to pick between dating and having the two of them be separated at work or putting the feelings aside and picking the latter.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Much like his canon counterpart.
* ThatManIsDead: Hints at this attitude in regard to his past life in chapter 64.
* TrenchCoatBrigade: A card-carrying member of this.
* TheUnfettered: It's heavily implied by his dialogue that limits are for other people.
* UpToEleven: Everything Nick Fury is, he's more.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Intentionally invokes this occasionally to annoy Fury. His default is a rough East London accent with a hint of class beneath it.
* WolverineClaws: He can use his 'hot knives' as these, to gruesome effect.

!!Charles Xavier a.k.a. Professor Xavier

The most powerful [[PsychicPowers Telepath]] on Earth and BigGood of the currently secret mutant community. Also godfather to Tony Stark and very plugged in to the nascent superhero community. Grandfatherly and kind, he likes helping people but equally, is not to be underestimated. Currently keeping secrets from both Tony and Harry, something which he does not enjoy doing. [[spoiler:Has recently revealed to Harry that Jean is Harry's cousin, and given his reasons for this.]]

----
[[hardline]]

* BadassGrandpa: He's well into his seventies, undisclosed deaging incident notwithstanding, and it's only refined his badassery.
* BadassTeacher: Is implied to have destroyed Weapon X when they came after Wolverine and a teacher of many badasses, including, in the case of Sean, a BadassTeacher or two. In any case, he impresses ''[[PhysicalGod Odin]]'', which says all that needs to be said.
* BaldOfAwesome: Very bald - though he wasn't always - and very awesome.
* ChromeDomePsi: As usual.
* DeadpanSnarker: Snarks at Sebastian Shaw II and, emphasising the deadpan part, at Jean's belief that there's nothing whatsoever between her and Scott.
* TheFettered: Is devoted to his students and his dream, and has incredible willpower, which helps him prevent himself from becoming another Magneto.
* IAmHavingSoulPains: Thanks to the fact that he was using Cerebro at the time, he's worst hit by the wave of dark magic that Gravemoss unleashes, which puts him into a coma and very nearly kills him.
* KeepingSecretsSucks: Is not happy in the slightest about having to keep Harry and Jean apart [[spoiler: and seems rather relieved when he finally gets to tell Harry]]. Nor does he seem particularly pleased that [[spoiler: he can't tell Tony the truth about his mother]].
* MindOverManners: Is absolutely scrupulous about this and teaches his students to be this way. Judging by Betsy, though, he's aware of the grey areas.
* NiceGuy: The man quite obviously wants to help people in any way he can.
* PsychicPowers: The most powerful [[{{Telepathy}} telepath]] on Earth, though he indicates that Jean will one day take this crown. In the meantime, with the aid of Cerebro and a little guiding from Loki, he managed to get in telepathic contact with Odin.
* SecretKeeper: For more than a few people, but most particularly for the mysterious 'Angel of Cuba'.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averts this, having managed to help Harry Dresden with his (ironic) pyrophobia and helped Harry work through an issue or two. Ironically, he seems to be the ''only'' therapist, with pretty much everyone directed to him. This [[LampshadeHanging is Lampshaded]] [[RunningGag repeatedly]], before the explanation that he's not the only one, but he is by far the best.
* TimeyWimeyBall: Why [[spoiler: he couldn't tell Harry or Jean that they were related.]]


!!Sean Cassidy a.k.a. Banshee

One of the First Class of X-Men who has since led a peripatetic career as an Intelligence Officer during the Vietnam War, an Interpol Detective and most recently, a teacher and bodyguard for the Hogwarts student body, along with his protégé, Warren Worthington III. Currently looks about thirty despite being well into his sixties. The reasons for this have, as yet, only been alluded.
----
[[hardline]]

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Averts this, despite having more reason to angst.
* AdaptationalBadass: While no slouch to begin with, this version is considerably more dangerous than either his comic or film selves.
* AntiHero: For all that he's a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and a NiceGuy, he is implied to be capable of being spectacularly vicious in his revenge and is more than willing to keep secrets and lie by omission.
** His capacity for viciousness is displayed in chapter 70. It's not pretty.
* TheAntiNihilist: Despite everything he's lost and been through, he remains kind, cheerful and upbeat. However, he isn't entirely unmarked by his experiences, having developed a taste for {{Revenge}} that he has to be careful to control.
* BadassGrandpa: He's over sixty (though he doesn't look it), one of the founding members of the X-Men is a Vietnam veteran and took on the IRA as a detective for Interpol. He was also sounded out by Nick Fury for the Avengers Initiative, picked by Peter Wisdom for his Excalibur squad and regarded by Lucius Malfoy to be a serious threat.
* BadassTeacher: Specifically recruited for his badassery. His teaching (of hand to hand combat) is just to officially justify his presence at Hogwarts.
* BerserkButton: Hurting the innocent or [[BreakTheCutie a character losing their innocence]]. Once it is pressed, he can be relied upon to go on a vicious rampage.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's kindly, friendly and funny, a classic ReasonableAuthorityFigure. However, he's also one of the most dangerous men alive and he does not tolerate people taking liberties in his class - which, being a hand to hand combat class with a fair bit of grappling, is an ever present risk.
* BigBrotherMentor: Expresses regret that he didn't get the chance to be this to his younger cousin, Black Tom, who doesn't seem to be a mutant - though his mutant powers are alluded to when Sean comments that [[GreenThumb he's 'good with plants']].
* BraveScot: Or perhaps Brave Generically Celtic might be more accurate.
* CombatPragmatist: Espouses this philosophy and ruthlessly practises what he preaches.
* CompellingVoice: Part of his power set. He apparently used it on the IRA cell that killed his wife in ways that still give Nick Fury nightmares.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He generally seems to be a fairly happy-go-lucky sort of guy. He's also a Vietnam vet, one of the First Class of the X-Men and considered by Nick Fury, Peter Wisdom and Lucius Malfoy to be very dangerous indeed.
* CrusadingWidower: A surprisingly cheerful, happy go lucky variant. However, it is stated that he's had over a decade to grieve, whatever he did with his CompellingVoice during his RoaringRampageOfRevenge still occasionally gives Nick Fury nightmares and he's got a taste for {{Revenge}}, one that he does his bet to keep a lid on. Also [[BewareTheNiceOnes you]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes ''really'']] [[BewareTheNiceOnes don't want to cross him]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Despite his [[TheAntiNihilist almost purposefully cheerful demeanour]], there's more than a few shadows in his past, stemming from his past as a superhero, military intelligence officer in Vietnam and police detective. His wife's death at the hands of the IRA and his resultant RoaringRampageOfRevenge are just the most notable incidents, with chapter 65 revealing that he's dealt with enough child abuse cases to instantly identify both the after effects of abuse and the methodology of a sexual predator.
* FatalFlaw: {{Revenge}}. More implied than stated, but he's hinted that he got a taste for it during his RoaringRampageOfRevenge after his wife's death, though he's fully aware that it's not a good thing and tries to suppress it.
* GlassShatteringSound: He can do this to glass and many other materials by hitting their resonant frequency.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He is a patient and wise ReasonableAuthorityFigure with a good sense of humour and a kind heart. He is also capable of doing things that give Nick Fury recurrent nightmares when he needs to/his BerserkButton has been thoroughly pushed.
* FunetikAksent: Occasionally. How much this applies depends on how much he wants it to, another aspect of his powers being that he's an excellent mimic. After he starts teaching at Hogwarts, he tones it down somewhat. It should also be noted that it gets thicker under stress.
* HotTeacher: Looks about thirty for unrevealed reasons and happens to be very attractive, as most of the school (and not just the girls) notices.
* InterGenerationalFriendship: With Warren, who notes that Sean is old enough to be his grandfather, [[VitriolicBestBuds 'just refuses to have the decency to look it']].
* LivingLieDetector: He can hear someone's heartbeat change.
* MakeMeWannaShout: The most basic application of his powers.
* ManlyTears: [[spoiler: When he finds Luna's body.]]
* ManOfAThousandVoices: He can mimic a voice perfectly and speak in just about any kind of accent that he chooses.
* TheObiWan: To both Warren and Harry and, to a lesser extent, Dane Whitman.
* OccultBlueEyes: Is noted as having remarkable sea blue eyes.
* OlderThanTheyLook: No one's quite sure why he looks about thirty, but it's suggested to be something to do with an island called Krakoa...
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In-universe example. Part of his powers means [[ManOfAThousandVoices that he can imitate any accent perfectly]] and usually settles on a slightly Irish brogue. It thickens significantly under stress or when he gets angry. [[BewareTheNiceOnes This is is generally a good time to start running.]]
* PietaPlagiarism: [[spoiler: With Luna's dead body]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is remarkably tolerant of Harry's snark, gently pointing out that while he found it funny, not everyone would and that he shouldn't go looking for more trouble (Harry visibly takes this on board) and of Harry's investigating into his painful past. However, you shouldn't push him too far.
* RedHeadedHero: His hair is noted to be true red, not Weasley ginger.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Against the IRA cell that killed his wife. It was, apparently... creative.
* {{Scotireland}}: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the fact that he's lived in Ireland and Scotland for a considerable portion of his life and, to complicate matters further, is originally Irish-American.
* SecretKeeper: Implied to be this for the Angel of Cuba.
* StealthHiBye: Can pull this off well enough to startle [[NobleWolf Freki and Geri]], thanks to his audiokinesis, which, among other things, allows him to dampen sound around him.
* SuperSenses: Thanks to his powers, he's got enhanced hearing, strong enough to use as sonar.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Warren.

!!Warren Worthington III a.k.a. Archangel

A very handsome Anglo-American mutant in his late teenage years who's estranged from his family. The reasons for this lie in his very beautiful, very deadly metal wings.
----
[[hardline]]

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His wings.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Is very gloomy and miserable, something for which he is gently teased by other characters, but not without reason - his father fed him Hank [=McCoy=]'s mutation suppression serum against the latter's advice when he was a child, causing his previously feathery wings to turn into metal.
* {{Badass}}: For all his moping, he is an absolute terror in a fight, easily on par with canon Archangel, with his entrance to the theatre of combat taking the form of disabling and beheading a zombified dragon in about ten seconds flat.
** He reminds all of his capabilities when he calls Snape an idiot for saying something particularly stupid. He does this right after Sean has verbally eviscerated Snape, meaning that his pride was sore and he went for his wand. He doesn't even get it out of his pocket before Warren has his wing tips at Snape's throat.
** Chapter 70 aptly demonstrates his capabilities when [[spoiler: HYDRA's aerial assault on Hogwarts begins, with paratroops wearing Falcon suits and armed with Destroyer based cannons. Warren, by contrast, has just woken up, in nothing but his pyjama bottoms]]. A MookHorrorShow ensues.
* BerserkButton: He really does not like bullies.
** Nor does he appreciate apparent callous insensitivity to severe trauma - something which probably goes back to how he got his wings.
* BreakTheCutie: He was fairly broken beforehand, but judging by chapter 72, the events of chapter 70 [[HeroicBSOD all but destroyed him.]]
* ByronicHero: Is explicitly described by Dumbledore as 'more Byronic than Byron'.
* CantHaveSexEver: Because of his RazorWings, he's twitchy about even hugging someone. This fear of intimacy is cited as the reason that he broke up with Jean Grey and is a significant contribution to his angst.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He acts like a typical mopey teenager. He's also a OneManArmy SuperSoldier with RazorWings capable of taking down zombie dragons with ease and he will not hesitate to show it if he feels the need.
* CursedWithAwesome: The development of his mutation gave him RazorWings which, while impediments to his social life, allow him to exceed the speed of sound. He also got SuperStrength greater than Captain America - enough to, according to Sean, 'bench press a troll' and equivalent durability (a car running into him would just annoy him), a powerful HealingFactor and SuperSenses.
* TheCynic: Explicitly says that he thinks that cynics are cute and is such as a result of his powers and his family's rejection of him.
* CynicismCatalyst: The development of his wings into RazorWings as a byproduct of his father trying to get rid of his mutation.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Those wings didn't come naturally.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has quite a sharp wit.
* DopeSlap: Belts Sean around the head when he's busy blaming himself for the Pensieve Incident.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Sean comments that past experience would suggest this.
* GreyEyes: Warren epitomises both the original epitome of beauty association due to his PrettyBoy status and the marksmanship association due to his vision, which is specifically noted as being hawk-like and missing nothing. It's suggested that as a child, he also embodied the innocent association, but those days are long gone.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: In chapter 72, after brutally killing HYDRA's aerial attack force.]]
* HotTeacher: Though he's more of a teaching assistant.
* HumansAreBastards: Seems to think this.
* KnightInSourArmour: Harry identifies him as this, saying that for all the things he says, at heart he's 'a knight in shining feathers'. Warren finds this faintly amusing but doesn't deny it.
* MaleGaze: has noticed Betsy. As of chapter 68, he's started taking topless flights when she's around.
* PrettyBoy: Is ridiculously good looking, with Harry's first comment towards him being that the girls are going to eat him alive.
* RazorWings: Like the current comics incarnation, he has these without the rest of the Archangel/Death appearance.
* StepfordSnarker: Somewhat. His cynical outlook on life and sense of humour come, in large part, from his wings.
* SuperStrength: Noted as being strong enough to 'bench press a troll' and when he gives Sean a DopeSlap, the narration notes that when he smacks something, it stays smacked.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Part of his absolute terror of accidentally hurting someone with his wings. Monsters, like zombified dragons, are fair game, but humans aren't. [[spoiler: This is why his tearing apart HYDRA's aerial assault leaves him with a HeroicBSOD.]]
* {{Wangst}}: Was considered to be this InUniverse by [=McGonagall=]. Her attitude changes after seeing a demonstration of how sharp his wings really are and finding out that he's had them since he was a child. Others occasionally tease him for his miserable attitude.
* WingedHumanoid: The wings bother him. Not so much because they're wings, but because of what they're made of and the crimp that puts on his life.

!!Lady Elizabeth 'Betsy' Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke

Formerly one of the IdleRich who ReallyGetsAround (as, it is implied, a form of rebellion) and all but pounces on Fandral, she almost instantly answers Peter Wisdom's call to arms, swiftly becoming his right hand woman in the field and one of [=MI13's=] most powerful assets. She also proves to be a kind and effective teacher to Harry and counsellor to Ginny.

----
[[hardline]]

* {{Badass}}: Though having no previously mentioned combat experience, she more than holds her own against the Shadow King (though that last one required her to bluff him into running away) and at the Battle of the M4.
* BattleCouple: With Fandral.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Fandral.
* BlackSheep: Implies that she's this to her family.
* BlueBlood: A member of the aristocracy.
* CoolBigSis: Takes something of this attitude to Harry and Ginny, the latter in particular, being very happy to gently tease the former.
* DanceBattler: Literally, with Fandral.
* DeadlyUpgrade: Using the Cerebro uplink while exhausted would have been this if the Shadow King hadn't retreated, with Betsy explicitly noting that she'd have been in danger of her mind being destroyed by the strain of such power.
* DyeHard: Her hair is not naturally purple.
* EthicalSlut: Likes sex and doesn't apologise for it, while also being a brave, kind and noble woman.
* FemaleGaze: Fandral and Warren are targets of this.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Her Cerebro password is [[PrecisionFStrike 'fuck you']] rendered in the NATO alphabet.
* GoodFeelsGood: Remarks on this in chapter 68, specifically about how teaching and helping other people with their powers feels good.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Quite graceful - if not quite as much as her canon counterpart - and fond of purple.
* HiddenDepths: After she notes Wisdom's psychic bafflers, she doesn't verbally invite him in to test if he's a vampire or some kind of supernatural creature, then drops her ModestyTowel to get an idea of what he's like.
** She also surprises herself by not only being good at teaching, but enjoying it.
* HotTeacher: Once she starts teaching Harry the psychic ropes.
* IdleRich: Seems to have been this before Wisdom recruits her.
* JumpedAtTheCall: While 'jumped' implies a certain degree of enthusiasm she didn't possess, she required very little convincing.
* LadyOfWar: A beautiful, badass member of the aristocracy who uses butterflies as her chief motif.
* MindOverManners: Careful about this, and praises the attitude in Harry, matter of factly stating that telepathy is pretty much the most dangerous power of all and those with it have a responsibility to use it carefully and wisely. That said, she is willing to be more flexible than other characters if the situation requires it.
* MundaneUtility: It's suggested that she uses her abilities to know who'd be amenable to being propositioned and, in battle, to play backing music for her and Fandral's [[DanceBattler 'dance']].
* MySkullRunnethOver: Risked this when she used a remote Cerebro uplink to bluff the Shadow King.
* NiceGirl: Is very sweet to both Harry and Ginny, helping them through their respective problems.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Fandral states that she used her powers so she'd know exactly what he'd like in bed. She also later hints at this to Harry, suggesting that one day he'll be able to use his powers to make some nice girl ''very'' happy.
* PsychicPowers: She's a powerful psychic, one of the strongest on the planet.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her psychic powers glow purple (and form butterfly patterns on her face) when she uses them.
* ReallyGetsAround: Her friend suggests that she subscribes to the love them and leave them school of relationships. WordOfGod notes that she turned 'a lot more [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Faith-like]]' than he'd expected.
* ReluctantHero: Zig-Zagged. While she pretty quickly joins [=MI13=], her POV section has her inwardly complaining that fighting monsters is really not her thing.
* SiblingYinYang: Betsy's brother Brian is, according to Albus Dumbledore, a genius, and according to Betsy, noble, compassionate and good-hearted, but equally, is deeply rule abiding, is a little holier than thou and has a large stick up his arse. While Betsy is smart, also compassionate and good hearted (jury's still out on the noble), she's neither rule abiding, holier than thou or possessed of a stick up her arse [[ReallyGetsAround (well. It depends on the kind of stick).]]
* SpoiledSweet: Rich, privileged, brave and heroic.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: WordOfGod says that he hadn't originally intended to introduce her anywhere near as early as he did.
* {{Troll}}: The second time she drops the ModestyTowel in front of Wisdom (the first time being to get his measure since she couldn't read his mind) is just to annoy him.
* TheUnfavourite: Some of her dialogue implies this. Chapter 68 makes it fairly explicit.
* VerbalTic: Calling people 'love'.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Purple, in her case. It's dyed.

!!Sir Dane Whitman a.k.a the Black Knight

The teenage heir to the Black Knight legacy. A spectacularly talented swordsman who is perhaps a tad overconfident and a recruit for Peter Wisdom's Excalibur team.
----

* {{Badass}}: He's overconfident to be sure (until a near death experience knocks it out of him), but he most definitely knows how to fight.
* BlackKnight: A DarkIsNotEvil variant. Or, to be more specific, he's not evil, but his sword is very evil.
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: Though 'more effective' might be [[EvilWeapon a more accurate turn of phrase...]]
* BloodKnight: In battle, thanks to his EvilWeapon.
* CoolSword: Evil, but cool.
* TheChick: To Excalibur, being the youngest and least experienced member.
* EvilWeapon: His sword.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: Trails around after [[HotAmazon Jessica]] [[SpyCatsuit Drew]], to the amusement of his older colleagues.
* KidSamurai: Fits this trope perfectly, and only survives his first battle because of literal divine intervention.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: A literal example - he asks Michael Carpenter for his autograph. It should be noted that he's injured and high on endorphins at the time.
* MasterSwordsman: Not on Sif or Fandral's level, but he's very good.

!!Albus Dumbledore

The Headmaster of Hogwarts, who has adjusted rather quickly to the altered status quo. A truly brilliant man, and one with many regrets.
----
[[hardline]]

* TheArchMage: A classic example.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Deduces the origins of [[spoiler: the HYDRA magical troops attacking him in chapter 70]] by their casting styles.
* {{Badass}}: Aside from his canon reputation, he mentions taking on groups such as [[OurVampiresAreDifferent the White Court, the Black Court]] (implying that he had something to do with the ending of its more powerful members) and the Hellfire Club. And then, well... it takes a truly colossal set of balls to [[spoiler: stare down the Phoenix Force and ask Her to spare the girl who the Clan Akkaba had summoned Her into before being incinerated for their impertinence. Even though he had no idea what She was, he knew exactly how powerful She was and that She could incinerate him with a stray thought. Yet he still begged for Her to show mercy and out of regard for him, she did so.]] It is implied that this act of courage and nobility impressed [[spoiler: the Phoenix enough - and she was already pretty favourably disposed to him - that She dispatched Fawkes to be Dumbledore's companion]].
** And he does it ''again'' in chapter 71 when he basically tells [[spoiler: the Phoenix]] to cut the bullshit and tell him exactly why she's interested in Harry, knowing full well what she's capable of and that if she wants to wipe him off the face of the Earth, she could do it with a stray thought. And she ''does''. Albus Dumbledore officially gives no fucks.
* BadassGrandpa: The years have far from diminished him, to the point where, in chapter 70, he can [[spoiler: fight off four of HYDRA's best wizards, specifically sent to deal with him, while musing on the bitter irony that he's encouraged muggle and magical co-operation all his life and here it is, and that he's flattered by the fact they felt the need to deploy four wizards solely to defeat him. He also [[AwesomenessByAnalysis notes their capabilities and identifies their backgrounds by their styles]], finding their confidence refreshing and also noting that while they might have caused him 'some slight bother' outside of [[GeniusLoci Hogwarts]], they don't stand a chance.]] Cue CurbstompBattle.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: In a subtle way, one that possibly even he isn't aware of: he fought alongside Captain America and the Howling Commandos against Grindelwald and HYDRA, Charles Xavier mentions him as something of a mentor in the art of teaching of young superhumans and [[spoiler: his entreaty of the Phoenix for mercy eventually led to the birth of Piotr and Ilyana Rasputin, a.k.a. Colossus and Magik]].
* BigGood: For the Wizarding World.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Surprisingly enough, with Sean Cassidy - both are powerful [[TheObiWan mentor]] [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure figures]], each with a DarkAndTroubledPast that they remain cheerful because/in spite of, a FatalFlaw that they are careful to control, a bucket load of regrets, a somewhat damaged protégé who is afraid of using his full power and they are both absolutely terrifying when their respective {{Berserk Button}}s are pushed. It is perhaps because of this that they get on rather well.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Like his canon counterpart, though somewhat toned down by the seriousness of the situation.
* CoolOldGuy: Whether you like him or not, you can't deny, he's got style.
* CurbStompBattle: Hands one out almost absent-mindedly in chapter 70 to [[spoiler: four HYDRA wizards who had specifically targeted him]].
* FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}, which is part of the reason that he keeps himself far away from political power.
* TheFettered: Has made himself this because he's perfectly aware of what he could become.
* TheLeader: When he speaks, people listen. When he commands, people obey. He has all the qualities that mark a great leader, which is noted approvingly by Sean Cassidy.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: with Sean Cassidy.
* LongLived: Well over a century old.
* MagnificentBastard: Not one of the more notable ones, but he's very capable indeed.
* MotiveRant: Gives a bitter one in chapter 46 which he illustrates to Thor exactly why he is very careful to confine himself to the position of Headmaster and his frustrations with the MedievalStasis of the Wizarding World which is discreetly enforced by the Ministry.
* NervesOfSteel: Is completely unfazed by Loki's not so veiled threat that if his schemes lead to Thor or Harry being hurt, there will be a reckoning.
** Takes it UpToEleven during his encounters with [[spoiler: the Phoenix]], on the second occasion demanding (quite politely, but still demanding) that she cut the bullshit, despite knowing that she could atomise him with an idle thought.
* TheObiWan: A bit less than his canon counterpart, since Harry has plenty of other mentor figures, but still present.
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Quite enjoys employing this against Cornelius Fudge.
* PsychicPowers: He is a powerful Legilimens.
* SelfDeprecation: Freely admits his limitations.
* {{Troll}}: As noted under PassiveAggressiveKombat, he particularly enjoys screwing with Fudge, even considering hiring [[TheDreaded Harry Dresden]] simply to mess with the man. He's also happy to mess with Thor.
* TheSpymaster: It's hinted that he has sources in the non-magical intelligence agencies, judging by how well he knows their inner workings.
* SuperIntelligence: Perhaps not quite superhuman, but he is genuinely brilliant, being a leading scholar in a number of magical fields, with a working knowledge of cutting edge muggle science.

!!Sir Michael Carpenter

A Knight of the Cross and wielder of ''Amoracchius'', the Sword of Love, better known as Excalibur. A carpenter in his day job and devoted family man, he's a devout Catholic (but not a dogmatist) and a KnightInShiningArmour.
----

* ActionDad: Father of a large family/small clan.
* {{Badass}}: There is a reason that Harry Dresden calls him 'the Fist of God'.
* BadassCape: Wears a white one, embroidered with a red cross.
* BigDamnHeroes: Arrives in the nick of time to save Dane Whitman.
* TheCape: He even wears one. It is suitably [[BadassCape badass]].
* ChurchMilitant: A nice version.
* CoolSword: The archetypal example: it's freaking ''Excalibur''.
* CurbstompBattle: Takes on the undead warrior that beat Dane to a pulp and destroys it in three moves.
* FlamingSword: ''Amoracchius'' burns with white flames.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He is kindly, friendly and forgiving. He'll give even undead abominations a chance to surrender (though in this context, it just means die quickly). However, if you face him on the battlefield and turn down his offer of your own free will, he will give no quarter.
* KnightInShiningArmour: A very literal example.
* ManInWhite: His cloak and surcoat are broadly white.
* OneManArmy: As part of the StrongAsTheyNeedToBe thing the Knights have.
* OneSceneWonder: Only appears in one scene in chapter 44, but it's enough to make quite the impression.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: "In the name of Almighty God, step away from that boy."
* RedBaron: He's also known as 'the Fist of God'.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: A total badass by himself, but like the other knights, he gets stronger in proportion to the threat faced.


!!M

Head of MI6, one of the few survivors of Gravemoss' attack on its headquarters. Currently tracking down the 'mysterious force' that discouraged investigation of the Dursley family and messed with Mrs Figg's mind to keep the extent of Harry's mistreatment secret.
----
[[hardline]]

* CoolOldLady: Is more than a match for Nick Fury, who quite comfortably dominates a room full of his fellow intelligence chiefs.
* GoodIsNotNice: Cold, sharp and not the sort to suffer fools. Also verbally twists the knife a little during her interrogation of Petunia.
* IronLady: Is tough as nails.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Suggested to hold this attitude, with the thing that infuriates her the most about Harry's abuse by the Dursleys after the abuse itself is the damage it did to Britain's reputation.
* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers a short and brutal one to Petunia.
* TheUnsolvedMystery: Digs into one of these - though 'uninvestigated' might be a better way to put it - at Fury's request. Complies because, as she puts it, she has little better to do.

!!Jean Grey

''The'' SignificantGreenEyedRedhead and [[PsychicPowers Omega Class Psychic]] - though she's not one of the few people who knows how powerful she is/will be. [[spoiler: Also Harry's second cousin and protected him from Dudley when her family came to visit when Harry was seven. Thanks to Sinister's intervention, she, Harry and their families forgot this and they never saw each other again, but recent events suggest that the block is wearing off]].
----
[[hardline]]

* AngerBornOfWorry: A mild variant is seen when she scolds Scott for slipping on the stairs. She'd probably have been considerably angrier if she knew he'd been [[DistractedByTheSexy distracted by her butt]].
* BigSisterInstinct: [[spoiler: Harry suggests that when they met, she protected him from Dudley.]]
* CoolBigSis: Described in an A/N as basically being this to the world.
* FieryRedhead: While this hasn't been seen, she has an explosive temper. [[spoiler: It's noted as being InTheBlood and shared by Harry and Lily]].
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Seems to be this, judging by the way that Dresden notes she spoiled his dog, Mouse.
* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Dresden implies that Jean could probably make most young men do what she wanted without recourse to her psychic powers because of this, something that goes double for Scott because of his [[AllLoveIsUnrequited unrequited love for her.]]
* InTheBlood: Red hair and green eyes run in the family. [[spoiler: So do psychic powers, it seems, with Harry inheriting them from his mother, whose aunt was Jean's grandmother. Sean mentally notes that she and Harry also seem to share a taste for revenge]].
* JustFriends: States this of herself and the hopelessly devoted Scott.
* MindOverMatter: One of her powers. [[MundaneUtility She uses it for carrying luggage]].
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: [[spoiler: Senses Harry being possessed by the Phoenix, which briefly reacts with her own connection to it.]]
* NiceGirl: Everyone who knows her (except Warren, her ex-boyfriend), mentions her as this, and her brief appearance suggests that it's true.
* ObliviousToLove: Her appearance makes it extremely obvious that she doesn't have the faintest idea how badly Scott is in love with her. Xavier wonders how it's even possible for a girl who is both very smart and on-course to be the most powerful psychic on Earth can miss something so obvious.
* PsychicPowers: Practically the poster child for them and on course to, eventually, be the most powerful psychic on Earth. Her psychic outburst of distress at the age of ''six'' was felt all around the world.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedHead: As per usual, and for many of the same reasons.
* {{Telepathy}}: Another of her powers.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Lucius Malfoy is visibly shocked by how much she looks like [[spoiler: Lily Potter. Later subverted, as while there's a definite resemblance, Lucius never really knew Lily all that well and overstated the resemblance. Sean, meanwhile, is loudly shocked when he sees Harry's eyes, which look exactly like Lily's and by extension, Jean's.]]

!!Bruce Wayne

The teenage heir to Wayne Enterprises and fearsomely intelligent apprentice to Harry Dresden. While he has no magic of his own, his intellect, gift for investigation and knowledge of magical theory more than make up for it. WordOfGod claims that he isn't going to be Batman, a trait that has been treated with scepticism.
----
[[hardline]]

* TheAce: He's a highly skilled hand to hand combatant, extremely talented investigator and expert on magical theory.
* AmazonChaser: In terms of his crush on Murphy, his terrifying tiny martial arts teacher, one respect in which he is very like his canon counterpart.
* {{Badass}}: [[spoiler: Bisects the Mabdhara by ramming it with the Tumbler and firing the demolition charges.]]
** BadassNormal: Doesn't have any powers. And as far as he's concerned, he doesn't need them either.
* CarFu: [[spoiler: Deploys the Tumbler to excellent effect.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Usually at Dresden's expense.
* HotForTeacher: Dresden observes that he's got a crush on [[PintSizedPowerHouse Karrin Murphy]], his martial arts teacher.
* InHarmsWay: Seems to like putting himself in this, partly because he's an adrenaline junkie, partly, as Wanda observes, because he doesn't really know how bad it can get and thinks its a grand adventure and partly, it is implied, as marker of the KnightErrant that he will become.
* LighterAndSofter: Is considerably more sane than his canon counterpart due to the fact that his parents, thanks to Harry Dresden, are alive. Because of this, WordOfGod has insisted (somewhat unconvincingly) that he isn't going to be Batman.
* SarcasticDevotee: To Dresden, though it is shown that he always listens to Dresden when it matters and wants his approval.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Getting this way.
* TeenGenius: Invented a method for shielding technology from magical disruption, something previously only achieved by SHIELD and Tony Stark. Admittedly, it took him years and Stark about 15 minutes, but it's still really impressive.

!!Erik Lehsherr a.k.a. Magneto

Father to Wanda Maximoff, FriendlyEnemy to Charles Xavier, and leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants. He has yet to make an appearance but he casts a significant shadow over events.
----
[[hardline]]

* AntagonisticOffspring: Wanda really does not like him and is sceptical of his HeelFaceTurn, having apparently gone up against him.
* ArchEnemy: His chief sparring partner was [[spoiler: Alan Scott a.k.a. the Green Lantern]].
* {{Badass}}: His achievements include:
** Purging three successive Inner Circles of [[AncientConspiracy the Hellfire Club]], the third one (after the deaths of Howard and Maria Stark, Howard being one of the few humans Erik ever considered to be a friend) being most thorough, according to Xavier. Sean Cassidy later described his own anger, though considerable, to be a firecracker next to the atom bomb of Erik's rage.
** Working as a NaziHunter for over four decades.
** Fighting Lord Voldemort when they were both young and forcing him to flee.
* BadassFamily: His daughter is Wanda Maximoff and his son, Pietro a.k.a. Quicksilver, has also been alluded to (according to Wanda, he's her teenage half brother and a brat). Also, there's [[spoiler: Hermione, Wanda's daughter]].
* DisappearedDad: Honestly believed that Wanda was dead. [[spoiler: May not even have realised that Lorna existed.]]
* TheDreaded: Almost everyone on the Dark Side from Sebastian Shaw II to HYDRA (yes, all of it), to Narcissa Malfoy fear him. Even Loki and Nick Fury speak about him with respect, the latter saying that "HYDRA wouldn't cross him. They wouldn't ''dare.''"
* TheGhost: By chapter 72, there's only been a teeny tiny indirect hint of his on-screen presence.
* HeelRealisation / HeelFaceTurn: Had one of these/pulled one of these some time in the late eighties/early nineties after he realised how far he'd fallen.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: He is commonly cited as an example how a good person fighting evil can go bad, though he has reportedly mellowed in recent years - something [[AntagonisticOffspring Wanda]] treats with scepticism.
* MagnetismManipulation: His main power.
* NaziHunter: A truly effective and prolific one, and according to Moody, didn't merely restrict himself to mundane Nazis.
* PersonOfMassDestruction
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Wants to protect mutants from humans who would exploit them and doesn't believe that mutants and humans can live in peace. These days, however, he's more interested in separatism than domination.

!![[spoiler: The Phoenix]]

One of the most powerful entities in the universe with a proclivity for pyromania on a cosmic scale and a fondness for humanity, [[spoiler: Harry in particular]].

----
[[hardline]]

* BringMyBrownPants: The instant reaction to anyone realising she is involved.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler: Is also Destruction of the Endless; Destruction's canon persona is explained as a former Host.]]
* CosmicEntity: One of the strongest of them all.
* TheDreaded: Good guys and bad guys alike are absolutely terrified of her. Even the ''Darkhold'' is frightened, scared witless by a mere ''whisper'' of her power. Loki's reaction is basically GodHelpUsAll, carrying extra punch since it's delivered by an actual PhysicalGod.
* TheGhost: Has appeared on-screen several times... probably. It's quite hard to separate her from [[spoiler: her protection on Harry and the shade of Lily Potter.]] The only definitive examples are chapters 56, 58 and 71. The former is a flashback and a brief intervention, the second is a touch ambiguous and the third [[spoiler: is a fully fledged rampage]] followed by an extended conversation with Dumbledore.
* KillItWithFire: To everything from Dementors to planets.
* KryptoniteFactor: To Dementors and dark things in general.
* RealityWarper: As Dumbledore remarks, she displays 'absolute command over the powers of life and death' and when [[spoiler: she resurrects and possesses Harry, she doesn't get him to stand up or telekinetically lift him up, she rearranges reality around him so that he's standing up.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Even revealing her identity provides a significant clue to much of the plot.

[[/folder]]


[[folder: Villains]]

!!Lucius Malfoy

Pureblood Lord, formerly one of the IdleRich after Voldemort's fall. Thor's reveal that he'd once been James Potter and consequent reclamation of his son spurs him into action and to become TheSpymaster and DiabolicalMastermind that he once was. But this time, he's operating on a much larger scale...
----
[[hardline]]

* AffablyEvil: Wanders the line between this and FauxAffablyEvil. He doesn't really do things ForTheEvulz, and he does have [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards]]. What he is, however, is thoroughly sociopathic.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Or, at least, is ambitious and evil.
* ArchNemesis: He and Fury are each other's.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Completely.
* TheChessmaster: He is an excellent schemer.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Trusting him is a very bad idea. With the exception of wife and son, he only really cares about himself.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Displays this in general, usually avoiding holding the VillainBall. For instance, he figures out that [[spoiler: the Winter Soldier has turned]] and correctly assumes that [[spoiler: he has passed on details of HYDRA's base location - secrecy having been their chief advantage - and immediately moves to nullify the Avengers]]. His pre-emptive [[spoiler: move to fund Lorna Dane's home and education so he can simultaneously threaten Magneto with a ShameIfSomethingHappened and/or paint HYDRA to Lorna as her benefactors, making Magneto the bad guy if he tried to intervene]] is lauded in-universe as brilliant.
* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: Ultimately is out for this.
* DiabolicalMastermind: Prefers moving the various pieces of his plans from the shadows, leaving multiple ways out and leaving others to take the fall. He's very, very good at it.
* DragonAscendant: In respect to Voldemort after the fall of the Death Eaters and [[spoiler: his ascent to command of HYDRA]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He does seem to genuinely love his wife and son, and a large part of the reason that [[spoiler: he kills Von Strucker is that the man went after his wife.]] Of course, he didn't know that [[spoiler: she was talking to SHIELD, trying to get protection for herself and her family, which Von Strucker saw as betrayal]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He was horrified by pretty much everything that Gravemoss did in chapter 21.
* EvilChancellor: He was this to Voldemort, with a touch of TheStarscream but generally content to remain TheManBehindTheMan, and recognises Baron Zemo as a man of the same stripe.
* EvilCripple: For a given value of cripple.
* EvilGenius: He was this to Voldemort (who was something of an EvilGenius himself), handling the everyday details.
* EvilOverlord: As of chapter 70, steadily accelerating towards this trope. [[spoiler: As of the end of chapter 74, he essentially is this.]]
* EvilOverlordList: Reviewers occasionally ask if he's read it. The answer is no, but he could apparently write a credible version - though he isn't immune to some of the follies warned against.
* EvilVirtues: ''Ambition''. He has it in spades.
* FatalFlaw: As Von Strucker observes, he will never take the straightforward course of action if he can take a complex one that avoids him being placed in danger, and he will never fully commit.
** His arrogance might also be this.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Perfectly friendly and charming when it suits him, if you ignore the arrogance. He's just vaguely sociopathic and doesn't really acknowledge the existence of those he considers beneath him.
* FictionFiveHundred: He is hinted to be as rich, if not richer, than the Potters, putting him well into the billionaire bracket.
* {{Foil}}: Serves as this to Nick Fury. He's a crippled aristocrat [[SocialDarwinist seeking to ensure the dominance of the strong (usually but not invariably comprising of superpowered people)]] over the rest who never does his own dirty work if he can avoid it (but that doesn't mean he can't fight if he has to) and, ultimately, to secure a better future for his family, while Fury is a sort of crippled (he's missing an eye) former soldier and man of action who came from a fairly ordinary family who's out for revenge on Lucius and is seeking to ensure that the weak are protected by and from the strong, to secure a better future for mankind as a whole. Both are cold, ruthless pragmatists.
** Also to Peter Wisdom. Both are [[spoiler: the sons of ancient pureblood lineages, both joined the Death Eaters]], ruthless, [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] [[TheSpyMaster spymasters]] before realising the value of MugglePower and eventually turning against Voldemort and abandoning the ideals of pureblood superiority. The only differences are that Lucius is a ruthless SocialDarwinist who's only out to benefit himself and his family and he only turned away from the Death Eaters after Voldemort fell and Pureblood ideals after he joined HYDRA.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Once, he was simply a powerful Pureblood Lord and part of the Death Eater Inner Circle, before becoming one of the IdleRich. Not quite a nobody, but limited in his influence. Then, he arranged a powerful alliance between the Death Eaters, HYDRA and Gravemoss, acquiring the Darkhold for the latter. In chapter 50 [[spoiler: he disposes of Baron Von Strucker, takes control of the Winter Soldier and with him, HYDRA]], and his actions have global consequences. As of chapter 74 [[spoiler: he's effectively the ruler of planet Earth. This status is temporary, but remarkable.]]
* GeniusCripple: Walks with a limp - which means that he actually needs his ClassyCane - courtesy of Nick Fury. It is implied that he suffered further damage in that fight, thanks to Fury leaving him to burn to death.
* GentlemanWizard: Fits this trope, despite being evil.
* HandicappedBadass: He doesn't like fighting, but that doesn't mean that he can't.
* IdleRich: After the fall of Voldemort. Swiftly discards this once he [[TookALevelInBadass retakes his levels in badass]].
* LeanAndMean: He is tall and lean and very, very mean.
* KlingonPromotion: Exploits this [[spoiler: in chapter 51 to become head of HYDRA]].
* MagnificentBastard: One of the best in the setting. Still miles behind Doctor Strange.
* ManipulativeBastard: See above.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Very much so, and complains that one of the problems of going to be debriefed by Gravemoss is that the [[NoodleIncident last time he did that, he never got the stains out of his robe.]]
* ThePlan: As it turns out [[spoiler: all of his actions in the fic have been leading to the point where he is indisputably in charge of HYDRA, controlling the Winter Soldier and with enough financial firepower to do pretty much whatever the hell he likes]].
* TheSocialDarwinist: By chapter 59, he has discarded, or rather, modified, his previous belief in Pureblood superiority to take into account superhumans and groups like HYDRA. Now, he still believes that only the strong and superior should rule, he's just altered his definition of who qualifies.
* TheSociopath: Possibly. While he does seem to love his family, he ticks every other box for this trope.
* TheSpymaster: Served as this to Voldemort, and was good enough to outmatch a young Nick Fury. That said, he had both a head start and a considerable resource advantage.
* TookALevelInBadass: As compared to his canon counterpart. While he, at first, appears as if he's going to be something of a joke villain, this was discarded as part of the change in tone around chapter 11 and he quite quickly evolves into one of the most dangerous characters in the entire setting. Not bad, considering that he's only actually used his wand once on-screen.
* VillainRespect: To Arthur Weasley, weirdly enough, when he realises how effective muggle tech is, complimenting Arthur on realising this before everyone else and having the good sense to take a job with Tony Stark where he'll be respected and well paid. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, Arthur doesn't live for very long afterwards.]]
** Usually to Nick Fury. He despises the man, but respects him.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: In his own mind, at least.
* WickedCultured: He's a man of wealth and taste.
* WorthyOpponent: Considers Nick Fury to be this. Hates his guts, mind you, but respects his abilities.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: One of the reasons that he hates Fury is that the other man somehow managed to damage his leg so thoroughly that even magical medicine couldn't entirely repair it. And there's implied to be something else that happened to him that night, after Fury left him to die in the flames of Malfoy Manor.
* XanatosSpeedChess: He is very good at turning an adverse situation to his advantage as chapters 22 and 50 demonstrate.
* YouAreACreditToYourRace: He has this attitude, mixed with a sizeable dose of pure hatred, towards [[ArchNemesis Nick Fury.]] Minus the hatred, he holds this towards Baron Zemo and Doctor Zola. Also, to an extent towards Muggles in general, admiring some of their technology. He used to hold this attitude towards Baron Von Strucker, but later changed his mind. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness This did not end well for the Baron]].
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He absolutely loves this trope.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: For all his evil, he has standards. [[OmnicidalManiac Gravemoss]] [[AxeCrazy doesn't.]]

!![[spoiler: The Winter Soldier]] a.k.a. [[spoiler: James Buchanan 'Bucky' Barnes]].

[[TheDreaded The single most feared assassin in the world]], whose reputation extends even to the rest of the Nine Realms. Created by the Red Room and currently in the control of HYDRA [[spoiler: he's actually Captain America's best friend, mind-wiped and brainwashed into a monster.]]

----
[[hardline]]

* ArtificialLimbs: [[spoiler: He has a robotic arm]].
* {{Badass}}: One of the biggest ones in the setting.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Usually by killing someone.
* ColdSniper: One of the deadliest in the known universe.
* CombatPragmatist: He is an extremely skilled sniper and an accomplished bomb maker, and he'll tap into both skill sets if it's more suitable than close range combat.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: It doesn't get much more dark and troubled than this.
* DeadpanSnarker: His internal dialogue has flavours of this.
* TheDreaded: He is this in-universe and [[HeroKiller with good reason]].
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Only a few notches above baseline humanity.
* FaceHeelTurn: Decades ago [[spoiler: via brainwashing]].
* FriendToAllChildren: One of the very few constants is that he never, ever harms a child if he can possibly avoid it, and the Red Room quickly realised that ordering him to do so was an exercise in futility, as he would just employ some fairly spectacular LoopholeAbuse to avoid it. [[spoiler: This tendency triggers his HeelFaceTurn in chapter 60]].
** Shows this when he [[spoiler: ruffles Diana's hair after she gives him a hug]].
* GeniusBruiser: He's a SuperSoldier and a Super Spy. It kind of comes with the territory.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: His can look through the EM spectrum, at least.
* TheHeavy: He does HYDRA's fieldwork.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: In chapter 60, once he gets his mind back]].
** HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler: Only to be re-brainwashed by HYDRA in Chapter 74.]]
* HeroKiller: He's racked up quite the tally.
* MageKiller: Unlike most examples, he's not specifically designed for this, but as two squadrons of Europe's best Aurors found in 1973 [[spoiler: and at least twenty wizards, including several Aurors and Arthur Weasley found out]], he's very good at it.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: A classic example. [[spoiler: Ultimately subverted, however. He's a victim of brainwashing, who steadily regains control of his mind and body.]]
* MercyKill: Delivers one via NeckSnap to [[spoiler: Arthur Weasley]], in order to spare him being tortured by HYDRA, or worse, being handed off to Gravemoss.
* TheMole:[[spoiler: Is this to Lucius Malfoy's HYDRA as of Chapter 61]].
* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: [[spoiler: A fairly textbook example, except he's not actually Russian]].
* PrecisionFStrike: [[spoiler:When he finally gets his mind back.]]
** And then another one he realizes he's facing down an angry Wolverine.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: About ninety years old. He really does not look it.
* SilentAntagonist: See TheVoiceless.
* SovietSuperScience: A product of it.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Very much has this vibe.
* SuperSoldier: One of the few successful examples.
* TheVoiceless: Can't speak because he hasn't been ordered to. Can, however, communicate just fine when he wants to.
* [[spoiler: WhamLine: He finally speaks in chapter 67]]
* WouldntHurtAChild: One of the few things that shows he's actually a man, not a machine, taking it to FriendToAllChildren levels.

!!Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker

The leader of HYDRA, and former ally of Lucius Malfoy. Is all too eager to renew that alliance in order to take advantage of the world's changing status quo and ensure [=HYDRA's=] dominance. In retrospect, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness this was a bad idea.]]

[[hardline]]

* AristocratsAreEvil
* ArtifactOfDoom: Possesses the Satan Claw, which allows him to drain the lifeforce of others, enabling him to maintain his own life. Unfortunately for him, Nick Fury is CrazyPrepared [[spoiler: and sent a remote controlled LMD into the field instead]].
* GeneralFailure: Is easily outclassed and OutGambitted in the field by Fury.
* LongLived: Was in his prime during World War II, and is still at it, thanks to the Satan Claw.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: He's actually quite competent, enough that [[MadScientist Zola]] and [[EvilChancellor Baron]] [[IFightForTheStrongestSide Zemo]] tolerate his command. Unfortunately, he's not in the same class as either Fury or Lucius.
* SmugSnake: He's reasonably competent, and is sharp enough to notice the pattern of Zemo's [[IFightForTheStrongestSide loyalty]], but he's nowhere near as good as he thinks he is, getting the better of Lucius a grand total of once. And when Lucius [[LetsGetDangerous gets serious]], the disparity in their abilities becomes very obvious.
* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Is the [=13th=] Baron Von Strucker. [[spoiler: Things don't end well for him.]]
* ThoseWackyNazis: Has been one since their glory days.
* VillainousFriendship: Subverted. He appears at first to be close friends with Lucius, but it soon becomes apparent that they're each only using each other to achieve their own ends. [[spoiler: And unfortunately, Lucius is better at it than he is.]]

A Light Elf {{Necromancer}}, banished long ago from his realm for his use of black magic.

----
[[hardline]]

* AdmiringTheAbomination: Practically squees when the Winter Soldier shows up.
* AncientEvil: He's about 1500 years old, so qualifies as one by himself.
* BasementDweller: From one point of view, he's a classic nerd squatting in a friend's basement. From another, he's also an [[HumanoidAbomination abomination]] into whose lair only the very unfortunate and the very stupid dare go.
* BlackComedy: A master of doing this via unintentional pop-culture references.
* DirtyCoward: Per WordOfGod, this is why he never directly fights the Avengers unless it's with a sucker punch he's sure will work.
* TheDreaded: Is feared by everyone.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Had a comfortable lair in the Paris catacombs, until the battle with SHIELD and Dresden forced him to evacuate.
** Since then, he's been [[BasementDweller living in the basement]] of [=HYDRA's=] own underground base.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: His are very, ''very'' low, but they're there. Even he thinks that unleashing the full power of the Darkhold, and thus [[EldritchAbomination Cthon]], is insane.
* EvilAlbino
* EvilSorcerer: Specializing in all things relating to death.
* EvilerThanThou: Even HYDRA and the Death Eaters are afraid of, and disgusted by, him. The only exceptions are Doctor Zola, with whom he shares a VillainousFriendship, and possibly Baron Zemo, who doesn't seem all that bothered.
* ImmortalsFearDeath: His own. He loves the idea of everyone else's, but he's absolutely terrified when someone actually succeeds in hurting him, with [[spoiler: Dresden's Death Curse]] leaving him with an enduring fear of fear and the man in question, though that part is probably because [[spoiler: he has no idea how Dresden survived casting it.]]
** He's also terrified of [[spoiler: the Phoenix]], and with good reason.
* LightIsNotGood: Is a pale-skinned albino Light Elf. Is also pure evil.
* LongLived: Roughly 1500 years old.
* {{Necromancer}}
* OmnicidalManiac: Like Thanos (who it is implied he has served in the past), he wants to kill everyone. Whether he's in love with Death herself, though, is another matter entirely.
* PhysicalGod: Was arguably this already. Add the Darkhold, and he's bordering on full blown GodOfEvil.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: He notes that the Dementors won't feed on his memories, since they're too vile for them.
* VillainousFriendship: Gets along remarkably well with [[MadScientist Doctor Zola]], much to Lucius' concern.

!!Baron Helmut Zemo

A leader of HYDRA, and the organization's field commander. Has been described as both [=HYDRA's=] answer to Captain America, and along with Doctor Zola, the true brains behind the organization.
----
[[hardline]]

* AffablyEvil: Is unfailingly polite and will genuinely compliment and respect a WorthyOpponent.
* AristocratsAreEvil: It's ''Baron'' Zemo.
* {{Badass}}: Though he rarely shows it, he's really, really good at fighting - he took Greyback down in about one and half seconds and could easily have killed him.
** And when in control of Project Ultimatum, he took apart [[spoiler: the aged up Harry, Diana, Uhtred, Jean-Paul and Carol. That's the equivalent of taking down Superman/Thor, Wonder Woman, one of the Warriors Three, the Flash and Captain America, albeit stripped of most of their combat skills and experience.]] That is one ''hell'' of a feat.
** In chapter 70, he [[spoiler: kills King T'Chaka, a Black Panther with all the abilities that implies, albeit a touch dulled by age, and has T'Challa, who's in his prime, at his mercy, letting him live because he likes a challenge every now and then.]] And he barely even gets scratched.
* BloodKnight: At the very least, he's usually on the look-out for a WorthyOpponent.
* DeadpanSnarker: Occasionally.
* TheDreaded: Is rightfully feared for his combat skills.
* EnigmaticMinion: His true motives and true reasons for joining HYDRA (who killed his father) remain a mystery.
* EvilChancellor: Serves as such to Baron Von Strucker [[spoiler: and then to Lucius Malfoy]].
* EvilMentor: To his protégé, Jason Todd.
* EvilVirtues:
** ''Diligence'': Consistently described as efficient and hard-working.
** ''Humility'': Usually in the form of VillainRespect. He's got a bit of an ego, but he fully accepts the possibility of being beaten.
** ''Loyalty'': To HYDRA. [[IFightForTheStrongestSide Not, however, to the person leading it if they prove to be unworthy.]]
** ''Patience'': Tends to maintain a calm demeanour in fights, chapter 60 showing how he's perfectly content to let his opponent tire themselves out.
** ''[[VillainousValor Valour]]'': He doesn't run from fights, even with equals.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: Serves Strucker as long as he proves worthy of leading. [[spoiler: When Lucius assassinates him and takes over, Zemo is the first to pledge loyalty.]]
* LegacyCharacter: Is the second Baron Zemo. However, his father Heinrich is a subject of AdaptationalHeroism, being a German noble officer who was assassinated by the Red Skull for defying the Nazi regime, whereas Helmut is not only HYDRA but a leader of the organization.
* LightningBruiser: Very fast and when required, he hits very hard.
* LongLived: He's around seventy years old; he's been fighting since the seventies at least and he's still got the physique of a man in his prime.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: As per canon, the mask is stuck to his face. This makes it next to impossible to read his expression.
* MasterSwordsman: Tore through the then [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Lieutenant Lane's]] patrol in Grenada, 1983, in a matter of seconds, armed only with a sword. The only reason Lane survived was because he shot him [[OnlyAFleshWound which just seemed to annoy him]], slowing him down enough for support to arrive.
** Demonstrates the same skills to [[spoiler: kill T'Chaka and cripple T'Challa]] without taking more than a few scratches.
* MysteriousPast: No one knows all that much about his past or his motivations for joining HYDRA, something rendered particularly puzzling by the fact that they killed his father.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: He's a calm, quiet man who rarely wastes words and will simply get the job done with maximum efficiency.
* OnlyAFleshWound: A bullet in the shoulder is only sufficient to annoy him.
* PurpleIsPowerful: As befitting his place in HYDRA's aristocracy and his formidable skill set, he wears purple.
* TheStrategist: His role in HYDRA.
* SuperSoldier: It's not entirely clear how powerful he is, but he's up there. He's capable of flattening Greyback in less than two seconds, and Lucius notes that when it comes to it, he's fast enough to make a vampire blink. He also proves capable of [[spoiler: killing T'Chaka and overpowering T'Challa]] without getting more than a little out of breath.
* VillainRespect: Genuinely expresses admiration towards Harry for his effective IndyPloy.
** Is impressed by T'Challa's speed.
* WorthyOpponent: Why he spares [[spoiler: T'Challa]].

!!Doctor Arnim Zola

The Red Skull's former right-hand man, and the founder of the modern version of HYDRA, of which he is now a key member. A MadScientist of the highest order, nothing is too depraved for him.
----
[[hardline]]

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: Considers America hypocritical for deriding the Nazis for the genocides of various peoples, when they did the same to the Native American tribes. As far as he's concerned, at least the Nazis were ''efficient'' in what they did.
* BrainUploading: Did this decades ago, into a series of robots and mainframes.
* ForScience: The only justification he requires for doing anything.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: Like Zemo, will follow whoever leads HYDRA, so long as they're worthy of it. [[spoiler: After Lucius' coup, he's right behind Zemo in declaring loyalty.]]
* MadScientist: He's up there with Doctor Doom.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Will do anything to anyone for the sake of his experiments, and expanding [=HYDRA's=] power.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Lucius inwardly notes that he looks like a harmless little fellow who he [Lucius] would sneer at if he didn't know ''exactly'' how dangerous Zola really was.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: A master of everything from AI and robotics technology to high end genetic manipulation.
* {{Technopath}}: And a powerful one.
* VillainousFriendship: Gets along disturbingly well with Gravemoss.
** He also gets on fairly well with Zemo and Malfoy.

!!Alexander Pierce

Secretary of International Defence, liaison between SHIELD and the US government. Also secretly in charge of HYDRA's SHIELD division, those SHIELD Agents that are loyal to HYDRA.
----
[[hardline]]

* AffablyEvil: Perfectly friendly and polite at all times, to the point that even [[EvilDetectingDog Freki and Geri]] like him. Also one of HYDRA's two heads and fully onboard with their world domination ideology.
* BadassBureaucrat: He seems to be more of an administrator than anything else, yet he can get into HYDRA's hidden base with perfect ease - something that Lucius notes should be physically impossible - and he's completely unflappable.
* DeadpanSnarker: Just a bit.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Doesn't approve of experimenting on children. On the other hand, this could just be PragmaticVillainy.
* FriendToAllChildren: A dark subversion. He's charming, friendly and good with kids, but doesn't blink twice at the prospect of Harry's death, merely expressing mild regret.
* MagnificentBastard: He's sharp enough to keep up with Lucius, who treats him with a sort of wary respect.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Zig-zagged. As per canon, he had a hand in Fury's rise to the Directorship, which in this 'verse, was at an extraordinarily young age. On the other hand, as he points out in canon, Fury was the best man for the job and he wanted SHIELD to be the best it could be.
* PragmaticVillainy: His smacking down of Ross' attempt to get hold of Carol in chapter 61 to study the effects of the temporary mystical enhancement is probably this, considering his casual attitude to Harry's potential death and what happened last time the US government meddled in magic.
* SeenItAll: Zola's appearance through a computer screen doesn't even make him blink.
* SocialDarwinist: Judging by his agreement with Lucius' speech.
* TheSociopath: Has absolutely no problem with the prospect of having people, children, that he likes killed, treating it as the mildly regrettable cost of doing business.
* WouldHurtAChild: Doesn't seem particularly bothered by the prospect of Harry's demise, merely commenting that it's unfortunate, because he genuinely liked him.

!!Jason Todd

An Agent of HYDRA, one of their best, serving as Baron Zemo's protégé.
----
[[hardline]]

* AgeLift: In canon, he's the second Comicbook/{{Robin}}, and thus quite a lot younger than Batman. Here, he's several years older than Bruce, at least.
* {{Badass}}: He didn't become Zemo's protégé for his looks and Lucius inwardly notes that he's reminiscent of a BadassNormal version of the Winter Soldier.
** We finally get to see him in action in Chapter 70, when he matches [[Comicbook/{{Agent13}} Sharon Carter]] who [[spoiler: may have supersoldier genes]].
* CoolMask: His red balaclava, a palette swapped version of Zemo's own.
* MookLieutenant
* TheQuietOne: Even more than his master, to the point where Lucius compares him to the silent Winter Soldier

!!Daken

The son of Wolverine, he's one of HYDRA's top mercenaries.
----
[[hardline]]

* {{Badass}}: Is able to take on an [[LetsGetDangerous enraged]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction Harry]] in a one-on-one fight and [[spoiler: seemingly kills him]].
* BodyHorror: What [[spoiler: the Phoenix]] does to him isn't pretty.
* BullyingADragon: Tries to attack [[spoiler: Phoenix-possessed Harry]], and gets charbroiled for his efforts. It would have been worse, too, if [[spoiler: the Phoenix]] hadn't been intent on a fully fledged rampage.
* HealingFactor: Of course. Actually how, along with his claws, Dumbledore determines his parentage.
** It's strong enough that he survives [[spoiler: being incinerated by the Phoenix]], albeit not without difficulty.
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: Manages to, while briefly, kill Harry.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Does this to Harry. It doesn't stick.]]
* IShallTauntYou: Seems perfectly happen to wind Harry up. As it turns out, this was a calculated move [[spoiler: designed to get Harry to lose his temper and attack head on.]] It works perfectly. At first.
* ManipulativeBastard: See IShallTauntYou.
* OhCrap: Causes one in Dumbledore when the latter realises exactly what kind of person Harry is fighting.
* WolverineClaws: Again, an inherited trait.

!![[spoiler: Chthon]]

The ManBehindTheMan for Gravemoss by way of being the author of the Darkhold. He has yet to make much of an onscreen appearance, but the mere possibility of his presence makes everyone from [[TheArchMage Wanda]] to [[{{Badass}} Dresden]] to [[GodOfMagic Loki]] to [[GodOfEvil Gravemoss]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards himself]] have a BringMyBrownPants reaction.
----
[[hardline]]

* AncientEvil: Somewhere in the region of billions of years old.
* BringMyBrownPants: Inspires this reaction to the point OOCIsSeriousBusiness. Loki, calm, collected Loki, has a massive freak out when he hears that the Darkhold is on the loose. Dresden's reaction to [[spoiler: accidentally contacting Chthon via his Sight]] is prolonged trauma and some gibbering. Wanda's reaction to the previous is to go ice white and swear at length for quite some time. Gravemoss, meanwhile, is abjectly terrified of him and thinks that unleashing him is insane. Yes, the AxeCrazy OmnicidalManiac who freely admits that he's crazy thinks that unleashing him is insane.
* TheCorrupter: Being, apparently, the inspiration for Sauron (but about a million times worse) trying to do this to Gravemoss through the Darkhold, his One Ring equivalent. Yes, someone is trying to corrupt [[OmnicidalManiac Gravemoss]].
* EldritchAbomination: He's pretty much the biggest, baddest EldritchAbomination of them all.
* EldritchLocation: The place of his banishment untold millions of years ago, Mount Wundagore. To the present day, it's still the source one of the most powerful dark ley lines in Europe, which Voldemort tried to tap into, the night that Wanda Maximoff was born.
* GodOfEvil: God of Chaos, strictly speaking, though Wanda notes that some have argued that he's also the God of Black Magic.
* GreaterScopeVillain: HYDRA want to take over the world, at least, according to Lucius, to start with. [[OmnicidalManiac Gravemoss wants to kill everyone.]] His return would destroy the universe. Who knows where he'd go from there.
* SoulJar: The Darkhold. It's apparently 'a brother to Entropy' and completely indestructible.
* {{Superweight}}: At the very top of Type 6.
* WickedCultured: Has this vibe in his one and only speaking appearance in the series so far.

!!Lord Voldemort, aka Tom Marvolo Riddle

The Dark Lord who terrorized Britain for decades, Lucius' former master, and the man who killed Harry's parents (though James/Thor got better), before the infant Harry himself somehow turned his own Killing Curse back on him. NotQuiteDead ever since, he and Harry are bound by prophecy to face each other again.

----
[[hardline]]

* ArchEnemy: Harry's, both by prophecy and experience.
* BigBad: Subverted, for now. Given the circumstances, he's willing to sit back and observe the forces at play before making his next move.
* TheDreaded: Most of Wizarding Britain is too afraid to even say his ''name''.
* ForWantOfANail: Gets a new body a full year ahead of canon, thanks to [[spoiler: the mutant/god power stolen from Harry, and Wormtail's unwilling sacrifice.]]
* TheGhost: Is mentioned throughout the story, but doesn't show up until Chapter 68. And even then, he's mostly removed from the story.
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler: Pulls this on Wormtail.]]
* HandsomeDevil: Was quite the looker when he was younger, and before he started dividing his soul up. [[spoiler: After taking Wormtail's body, he alters it to look like his younger self.]]
* IAmHavingSoulPains: The result of [[spoiler: Betsy cutting the connection between him and Harry, resulting in what is described as a whole body migraine]]. He recovers pretty quickly, though.
* NotQuiteDead: Has been reduced to a spirit ever since infant Harry turned his Killing Curse back on him. [[spoiler: Regains a physical form by taking control of Wormtail's body by force and reshaping it to his needs.]]
* PowerParasite: [[spoiler: Has been using his PsychicLink with Harry to siphon off some of Harry's mutation- and Asgardian-based powers. Betsy cuts the link in Chapter 68, but he's already gained a significant amount.]]
* SoulJar: As per canon, his Horcruxes. Though between Harry and Wisdom, most of them have been destroyed.
* WalkingSpoiler: Due to the exact circumstances around his resurrection in this universe.

!!Doctor Victor Von Doom

Though he has yet to appear on-screen, his presence looms large over proceedings

----
[[hardline]]

* AdaptationalBadass: According to WordOfGod, he's actually more calculating and less egotistical than his canon counterpart.
* TheDreaded: To an extent, with Lucius being shown as very wary of picking a fight with him. Since this is the man who shrugs off the potential wrath of the Avengers, that's really saying something.
* EmperorScientist: Implied to have turned Latveria into an industrial powerhouse.
* TheGhost: He hasn't appeared on-screen, but he's been mentioned by several characters, in a newspaper and his Doombots briefly appear.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: No one's entirely sure why he periodically sends Doombots to attack the Avengers (made worse by the fact that no one can prove it's him, these robots being less distinctive than their canon counterparts), with some characters speculating that he simply finds it amusing.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: It's Doctor Doom. What do you expect?
* SorcerousOverlord: Apparently a talented enough sorcerer to attract Baron Mordo (in this 'verse, Strange's former apprentice) to be his teacher.

!!Thanos

* TheCorrupter: Was this to Loki to an unknown extent - it is repeatedly stated that Loki's madness was his own, but that Thanos accelerated its progress and pointed him at Earth. The general assessment is that Loki was going to invade anyway, Thanos just sped it up and gave him the means to do so effectively.
* TheDreaded: For most of the universe, if Odin's speech is anything to go by.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Though he has yet to make an appearance, outside of a brief flashback, his actions cast a very long shadow over the story at large and he is by far the most threatening villain in the setting, with the possible exception of [[spoiler: Chthon]]. After all, he is responsible for [[spoiler: the destruction of Krypton]].
* TheManBehindTheMan: Was this for Loki and the Chitauri, as well as for [[spoiler: the Dheronians, giving them the tech to destroy Krypton]], is implied to have been this for Gravemoss at one point or another and WordOfGod has hinted that he had, and possibly still has, an association with [[RageAgainstTheHeavens Gorr]] [[AxeCrazy the]] [[OmnicidalManiac God]] [[TheButcher Butcher]].
* OmnicidalManiac: As per usual, he wants to kill everything, sacrificing it to Death.
* PsychicPowers: He has these on a comfortably interplanetary scale, if Loki's flashback is anything to go by.

[[/folder]]

Unless otherwise stated, tropes that apply in the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' apply here as well.

!!Steven Grant Rogers a.k.a. Captain America

The living legend who, frankly, kind of lives up to the legend.

* AChildShallLeadThem: Not a child, but was very young (in his early twenties) when he first commanded in battle. He's also the youngest of the Avengers and their undisputed leader.
* {{Adorkable}}: He's useless with women and actually rescues kittens from trees.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He's very good at reading opponents, situations and angles, using them to his advantage.
* {{Badass}}: Though he doesn't always get the chance to show it, he's every bit as badass as you would expect, regarding colossal storms and fairytale monsters as minor inconveniences and being capable of running through an entire training session on autopilot.
* BullyHunter: A defining characteristic, though unlike some, he knows where to draw the line.
* ConnectedAllAlong: It turns out that he, Peggy and the Commandos worked with Dumbledore during the War and operated out of Hogwarts for a while. This led to [[spoiler: Bucky and Minerva's fling, which eventually resulted in Clint's mother]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Much less than most of the others, but it's there.
* DorkKnight: Sweet, kind, heroic and about as edgy as cookie dough.
* EvilCounterpart: The Red Skull was this as, currently, [[spoiler: is the Winter Soldier]], who is explicitly described as such by Steve's inner monologue. The latter scares him more, partly because he can beat Steve in a straight fight, partly because he offers a terrifying glimpse of what Steve is capable of if he ever stops holding back and becomes more super soldier than man.
* FamedInStory: Big time. Chapter 68 suggests that this is why Harry associates with him less, because he's in awe of him.
* TheFettered: Is very much this, because he's very aware of what the alternative could look like.
* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: The product of the first and (almost) only truly successful SuperSoldier project. Other results include the Red Skull, [[spoiler: the Winter Soldier]], the Hulk and the Abomination. Other products include Weapon X and Project Pegasus.
* HealingFactor: A limited but effective one. Steve himself notes that unless he's sparring against an Asgardian, one of Tony's armours or he's been taking a consistent pasting, bruises are a thing of the past.
* TheHero: He's Captain America. What did you expect?
* HopeBringer: One of the few parts of his fame he doesn't entirely mind.
* HumbleHero: He's uncomfortable with his fame and self-deprecating. To quote the man himself, "I'm just a kid from Brooklyn. Nothing special about me." Cue Tony and Loki visibly rolling their eyes in disbelief in the background.
* KingInTheMountain: Described as America's King Arthur figure, coming from apparently nowhere to defend his country InItsHourOfNeed during the Battle of New York. Probably not coincidentally, he's a fan of T.H. White's ''The Sword in the Stone'' and the rest of ''The Once and Future King'', setting Harry onto them.
* TheLeader: All the Avengers look to him and take his orders without question. Yes, even Tony.
* LostLenore: Peggy is his, since, unlike her MCU counterpart, she disappeared in the early '60's.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: It helps that it's MadeOfIndestructium.
* NiceGuy: He couldn't be DarkerAndEdgier if he tried.
-->'''Clint''': Steve, last time Nat and I went running with you, you stopped to rescue a little girl's kitten from a tree. You're about as edgy as cookie dough.
* OutOfFocus: With the possible exception of Bruce, he's the Avenger who's had the least screen time.
* ProHumanTranshuman: Definitely, though he doesn't like thinking of himself as transhuman.
* ShieldBash: One of the other uses of his shield.
* TheStrategist: Almost supernaturally skilled in this department.
* SuperSoldier: The original and the best.
** Chapter 68 details his worries about the Soldier part of him taking over.
* SuperSpeed: He can run at 60 mph at full pelt.
* SuperStrength: Chapter 68 reveals that his baseline is 3.5 tons and it is suggested that with work, he could become even stronger.
* ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks: And it does. Always.
* {{Transhuman}}: Is this as a result of the serum. It bothers him considerably, though he starts coming to terms with it in chapter 68.
* UnskilledButStrong: By comparison with [[spoiler: the Winter Soldier]], who despite being physically weaker and less mobile because of the snow, almost beats him to death with his own shield.

!!Thor Odinson a.k.a. James Potter

Norse God of Thunder and Crown Prince of Asgard, who was once incarnated as James Potter in order to teach him humility, only for his memories of that life to be suppressed in order to prevent him from going on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge after his and Lily's death at Voldemort's hands. Loki returning those memories to him is what kicks off the plot.

* ActionDad: Most definitely.
* {{Badass}}: One of the biggest in the entire cast.
* BadassBoast: As per canon, he's quite good at making these.
* BerserkButton: It doesn't matter who you are, if you threaten his son, it will go badly for you.
* BigBrotherInstinct: To Loki.
* BookDumb: As per canon, he has a fairly basic understanding of Asgardian science-magic and both Heimdall and Thor himself observe that Thor is a practical God, who deals with the physical and the present. That said, his life as James has given a significantly greater understanding of magic, and every now and then, he shows that he really does listen when his brother goes off on one.
* BruiserWithASoftCentre: He's a warrior-god who can go toe to toe with the Hulk and the Juggernaut. He also enjoys snuggling with his brother and son and cuddling up to his girlfriend.
* CooldownHug: Pulls one on Harry in chapter 72.
* DadTheVeteran: Naturally.
* DisappearedDad: His memory was wiped for twelve years, and [[UnstoppableRage for]] [[TheBerserker good]] [[PhysicalGod reason]].
* DorkKnight: Less than he used to be, but there's still a sizeable amount of this going on.
* DropTheHammer: Naturally.
* FictionFiveHundred: When he regained control of the Potter vaults, it was revealed that they were worth about £1.5 billion. This figure isn't particularly ridiculous by the standards of the trope. What is, however, is the fact that he doesn't really do anything with it, because he doesn't need to. Kind of justified, though - he's heir to the throne of Asgard, which is a very, very powerful empire and empires tend to accrue lots of money (if they don't end up costing it, instead).
* FlyingBrick: Very definitely.
* FunPersonified: Unless you piss him off, he's really very friendly.
* FriendToAllChildren: Big, bluff and friendly, kids love him, particularly his son.
* GeniusBruiser: He may be fairly BookDumb, but as he himself points out, he's been around for a very long time. He's picked a few things up.
** He's also developed some refined uses of his powers, such as RazorWind.
* GoodParents: Quite clearly loves his son to bits and is noted in and out of universe to be doing a good job raising him.
* HasAType: Smart, pretty women who take no bullshit, judging by Jane and Lily.
* HiddenDepths: He is considerably smarter than he appears to be, coming out with MagiBabble when people least expect it.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Jane is a little bitty person compared to him. There was also this, albeit to a lesser degree, with him and Lily.
* LargeHam: Occasionally.
* LetsGetDangerous: In chapter 71, he loses patience with HYDRA's diversionary tactics and responds by ''vaporising'' the distraction de jour, an undead kraken said to ''dwarf'' a Chitauri Leviathan in one shot.
* MoralityChainBeyondTheGrave: Invokes this on Harry about [[spoiler: Luna]], in the 'x wouldn't want this' way when [[spoiler: Harry attempts to use his telepathy to torment the Ravenclaws he blames for Luna's death.]] A CooldownHug follows.
* NiceGuy: One of the nicest, after Steve.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's much sharper than he lets on and he's not shy of playing up his FishOutOfWater tendencies to mess with people.
* PapaWolf: Naturally takes this UpToEleven, as Gravemoss found out the hard way.
* ParentWithNewParamour: Is this to Harry, with Jane as the new paramour. After a somewhat awkward beginning, Harry and Jane get on very well.
* PhysicalGod: Naturally.
* PrinceCharming: Noble, kind and, yes, charming. Still a dork, though.
* RazorWind: One of the more exotic applications of his powers.
* RoyalBlood: Duh. With the expected RoyaltySuperpower.
* ShockAndAwe: A specialist.
* SuperStrength: In this regard, he's only challenged by the Hulk and the Juggernaut and if he goes nuts, there is a genuine risk that he'll destroy whatever planet he's on.
* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Pop-tarts.
* TranquilFury: In chapter 58, when he calmly and politely explains to [[spoiler: Hera]] that he can see through her bullshit and if she continues obliquely threatening his son, he will incinerate her on the spot, consequences be damned.
* UnstoppableRage: Like his canon counterpart, if he's pushed far enough, he'll go into a rage that would impress the Hulk.


!!Loki Odinson

Thor's adopted brother, who joined the Avengers as an act of atonement for his [[Film/TheAvengers2012 madness (and Thanos) induced invasion of Earth]]. Is also effectively Asgard's one man intelligence network, while also teaching Harry, Hermione, and the Weasley twins magic on the side.

* TheArchMage: He is the actual ''God'' of Magic.
* TheAtoner: He bitterly regrets what he did as a supervillain.
* [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork Anti Heroes Do The Dirty Work]]: He believes this, like Clint and Natasha, and is willing to ShootTheDog where necessary.
* BadassTeacher: Is a badass when he needs to be, and is also a magic teacher to Harry, Hermione, and the Twins.
* CheshireCatGrin: Apparently, he was the originator of the famous smile. This comes as a surprise to exactly no one.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Doesn't exactly specify what happened when he encountered Thanos, but while he wasn't tortured into insanity like many a fic has him, it most certainly was not pleasant.
* DeadpanSnarker: Notably so.
* TheDreaded: He has a reputation.
* EideticMemory: Specifically mentioned. He uses it for magic and for [[MundaneUtility memorising political treatises and religious books for the specific purpose of tearing them to shreds]].
* TheGadfly: On a semi-regular basis. Enjoys provoking ideologues and fanatics of all stripes and then verbally tearing them apart. The Avengers tolerate this on the grounds that it keeps him occupied and Tony does it too. Clint and Darcy used to set him on such persons, particularly the pretentious, until being banned from doing so on the grounds that it was [[DisproportionateRetribution like dropping a nuclear bomb on a fly.]]
* GentlemanSnarker: He lives and breathes this trope.
* GreenEyes: Occasionally mentioned, of a different hue to his nephew's.
* GuileHero: Frequently.
* KarmaHoudini: Believes this of himself, noting that despite how recently he tried to take over the planet, killing hundreds, even thousands, he's practically worshipped now that he's a superhero. Ultimately not true, however, considering how much he regrets what he did.
* TheLancer: Serves as this to Thor. He no longer lives ''in'' Thor's shadow - he ''is'' Thor's shadow.
* MagnificentBastard: One of the best (but not ''the'' best) in the setting.
* ManipulativeBastard: He is excellent at this, though, as he observes, Odin is much better at it, when he wants to be.
* MyGreatestFailure: There's a ''reason'' he doesn't talk about Hela...
* NotGoodWithPeople: Oddly enough. He's not good with crowds in public. In controlled situations, he's TheSocialExpert, witty and charming. When unexpectedly dropped into a crowd of slightly rabid fans, however, he's very much off-balance and he doesn't like it at all. Thor, by contrast, is the opposite.
* OracularHead: [[spoiler: Is reduced to this when Gravemoss's interference with his teleportation scatters his body across dimensions.]]
* PrecisionFStrike: When he realizes that [[spoiler: Harry's been possessed by the Phoenix]]. The fact that he rarely ever curses is noted as a cause for alarm in the situation.
* ReformedButNotTamed: He's a hero, a kind and indulgent indulgent uncle and a patient teacher. He is, however, perfectly willing to kill in cold blood, torture to extract information and do any number of morally dodgy things to protect Thor, Harry and the Nine Realms as a whole.
* RoyalBlood: He is the son of Laufey, after all.
* ShipTease: With Sif.
* TheSocialExpert: Under controlled circumstances.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Up to about chapter 45, he tended to do this, something that [[Creator/NimbusLlewelyn the author]] occasionally [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]]. Afterwards, [[OutOfFocus he fades a bit more into the background, being on vague fact finding missions most of the time.]]
* TheSpymaster: He basically runs the Asgardian secret service.
* SuperIntelligence: Naturally.
* TerrorHero: He's a perfectly charming, if snarky, version of TheCape to the general public, but he has a serious reputation in the supernatural community, falling into Types 2, 4 and 5, and is perfectly willing to play on it.
* UnscrupulousHero: He can be this, when required to be.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: And it's extremely powerful. He naturally keeps an Asgardian for, transforms into a female version of himself in chapter 32, then in chapter 71, a gigantic serpent with jaws large enough to engulf an apartment building.

!!Bruce Banner a.k.a. The Hulk

A scientist with [[HulkingOut breath taking anger management issues]], though he's come to terms with his other half. Who, incidentally, has a soft spot for Harry.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: As an A/N puts it, he's small, sweet and cuddly until, suddenly... he's not.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Part of why he gets on so well with Remus.
* ClassicalAntiHero: Pretty much.
* FriendToAllChildren: The Hulk, as per canon. Bruce seems to be fairly good with them, too.
* TheNickNamer: In Hulk form, referring to Harry as 'Little God'.
* OnlySaneMan: He's one of the few reliably sane characters, and frequently reins in Tony's insanity.
* SuperIntelligence: Outside of Hulk form, he is absolutely brilliant, and like Tony, is hinted to have been a part of the New Bifrost project.
* SuperStrength: He's the strongest one there is, after all.
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Appropriately, quotes this trope in chapter 60.

!!Tony Stark

As he puts it, a genius, billionaire, (former) playboy, philanthropist. However, there is considerably more to him than that.

* AcePilot: Thor, who would know, notes that he is an excellent and experienced pilot of his armours.
* [[spoiler: ActionDad:]] As of chapter 68.
* TheAlcoholic: Is usually the one mentioned as having a drink in his hand and once mournfully complains that he doesn't have the power of Alcokinesis (Alcohol Generation).
* AlwaysSecondBest: There are hints that, as per canon, he feels that he can't live up to his father's genius or Steve's nobility.
* AntiHero: A lot of the flaws have been smoothed out (or at least, buried), but they're still there. Periodically acknowledged by most of the cast
* {{Badass}}: An EmpoweredBadassNormal in his PowerArmour. Out of it, he's still got the stones to [[spoiler: get between the Winter Soldier and Pepper and the exhausted kids. The Winter Soldier, bear in mind, is the universally feared Boogeyman, considered by Loki to be the most deadly assassin in the Nine Realms, who he'd been raised to fear.]] What is he armed with? A hairbrush. If that doesn't qualify you to be a {{Badass}}, nothing will.
** In chapter 74, [[spoiler: he takes on every single one of his armours, which are under the control of Zola, holds them off for long enough to allow Pepper, Clint and Natasha to escape, then overloads the arc reactor to prevent HYDRA from using his tech for evil and get Zola off the others' tail.]]
* BadassBookworm: See the 'genius' part.
* BadDreams: Makes flippant reference to these in chapter 62.
* BigRedButton: Wants to press one. [[spoiler: And does so in chapter 74 to set off the arc reactor and prevent HYDRA getting hold of his tech.]]
* BullyHunter: He really doesn't like bullies.
* CharacterDevelopment: The other Avengers have been a good influence on him. Of course, he's not always been the best influence on them...
* {{Cyborg}}: With the arc reactor. After Chapter 61, he considers taking it further.
* DeadpanSnarker: The biggest out of all the cast, with the possible exception of Harry Dresden.
* DungeonBypass: In chapter 74. An unusual example, since it's [[spoiler: his own Tower, taken over by Zola.]]
* {{Flanderization}}: Slightly. Is, occasionally, rather more overtly crazy than in canon, and almost certainly for the purpose of RuleOfFunny.
* GadgeteerGenius: Quite easily one of the smartest men alive and capable of cobbling together, oh, say... a prototype battle suit [[MemeticMutation IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!]]
* [[spoiler:GoodParents: A letter from future!Harry indirectly states that Tony is going to be a great father.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid:[[spoiler:His mother's real name was Tessa, as in, Sage of the X-Men.]] All evidence indicates that Howard knew, though what effect it will have, if any, is unknown.
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Pulls one in chapter 74, overloading the arc reactor powering Avengers Tower to flush out Zola and deny HYDRA access to his technology. Later, however, it is noted that he is still alive, just about.]]
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Occasionally.
* LadyKillerInLove: Quite obviously head over heels in love with Pepper to the point where Thor notes that Tony drunkenly confessed to him that, on his bad days, Pepper was the only thing that made his life worth living. [[spoiler: In chapter 60, he considers having kids with her]]. This is good timing, since [[spoiler: it's been hinted that she's pregnant]].
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: It's implied that he played a considerable part in the engineering of the New Bifrost.
* PoweredArmour: He builds it. After Chapter 60, starts looking for ways to incorporate it into his body.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Since the events of ''Film/IronMan3'' haven't taken place, these are still present, despite the fact that Loki - as part of his redemption - let Tony beat the crap out of him in various armours.
** Particularly after Chapter 60, in which [[spoiler: he faced down the Winter Soldier armed only with a hairbrush]]. While he got out of the incident without a scratch, he was still scared stiff.
* SirSwearsALot: Isn't perpetually effing and blinding, but swears/is inappropriate more than the rest of the cast.
* SuperIntelligence: He built his suit [[MemeticMutation in a cave! With a box of scraps!]]
* TakeCareOfTheKids: Asks Natasha to [[spoiler: take care of the pregnant Pepper, because she's the most devious person he knows and, crucially, knows how the Winter Soldier thinks, so is best suited to protect Pepper from HYDRA.]]
* {{Troll}}: It's Tony Stark. What did you expect?
** After [[spoiler: Loki was informed of Sif's actual death experience on the Moon, by Thor]], a lot of craters were left behind, causing mass confusion. Tony told them not to tell the press so as not to 'ruin his fun'. Both Thor and Harry decide that they don't want to know.


!!Natasha Romanova a.k.a. Black Widow

A SHIELD Agent with the mother of all [[DarkAndTroubledPast dark and troubled pasts]]. Biologically immortal and as beautiful as she is deadly, she is one of the most dangerous products of the Red Room, alongside the Winter Soldier. Though she's now turned her talents to heroism, her past is showing signs of coming back to haunt her...

* TheAgeless: Thanks to a Russian variant on the Infinity Formula.
* BadassBoast: She gives a good one to Snape when he casts doubt on her knowledge of [[spoiler: the Winter Soldier]].
--> I know what he did because I was there when he did most of it. [[ChildSoldier I was trained from the age of five to be an assassin.]] [[TykeBomb A killing]] [[LivingWeapon machine.]] I learned my lessons in the Red Room and [[BeenThereShapedHistory I relearnt them on the battlefield of Stalingrad]] [[ChildSoldier at the age of 15.]] [[TheAgeless I have watched empires rise and fall]] and [[BeenThereShapedHistory played my part in both raising them up and bringing them down.]] And usually, that part was by the side of the [[spoiler: Winter Soldier.]] He was my partner for thirty five years. Almost everything he did, I had a hand in. Approximately ten percent of his attributed kills were actually mine.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Mentions it as part of her BadassBoast.
* BrokenAce: she alludes to this, stating that the Red Room broke people so thoroughly that no one else would be able to do so. ''No one''. This, married to her many skills, makes her this trope.
* BrutalHonesty: Rarely bothers with pulling her punches, verbally speaking.
* ChildSoldier: She was a product of the Black Widow program and mentions fighting at Stalingrad at the age of 15.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Very, very much so.
* DeadpanSnarker: Quite sly, but it's there.
* GoodIsNotNice: Very definitely.
* LivingWeapon: She was raised to be this.
* LoveFatherLoveSon: Implied with Clint, as he's [[spoiler: the grandson of Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, with whom she has a past]].
* ManipulativeBitch: Is terrifyingly good at this, when she wants to be.
* MoralityPet: Arguably, Harry. She's not strictly evil, but she's not always the world's nicest person.
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: The only Avenger who ''might'' match her capacity for ruthlessness is Loki.
* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: A very dark variant. It made her tough, all right...
* OnlySaneWoman: Periodically.
* ParentalSubstitute: Of a kind to Harry, which leads to some signal confusion because [[CurvesInAllTheRightPlaces Natasha]] [[MostCommonSuperpower is]] [[SensualSlavs Natasha]] and he's a [[HormoneAddledTeenager teenage]] boy.
** Has one of her own in Ivan Petrovitch.
* PragmaticHero: Very much so.
* TheQuietOne: Speaks the least of the Avengers, and is generally more measured in what she says.
* Really700YearsOld: She is actually about 80 years old.
* SensualSlavs: Practically the archetypal example.
* SovietSuperScience: A product of this.
* ShipTease: Occasionally with Clint and [[spoiler: the Winter Soldier]]. In the latter case, they have a past.
* TakeCareOfTheKids: Is asked to take care of [[spoiler: the pregnant Pepper by Tony, on the grounds that she's the most devious person he knows and, crucially, knows the Winter Soldier best and is therefore best suited to protect Pepper and, eventually, the baby.]]
* TheTeamNormal: Aside from her agelessness, she is the only Avenger to have no superhuman capabilities in battle (Tony uses his armour). She is also usually considered to be by far the most terrifying person on the team.
* TykeBomb: She used to be this.
* UndyingLoyalty: Subtle but present towards the Avengers, first noted by Ivan Petrovitch (her ParentalSubstitute who has known her since she was a child) and then hinted at in chapter 71 when [[spoiler: the Winter Soldier tries to convince her to join him after sabotaging - and sabotaging his own sabotage - the Helicarrier and escape the doomed ship. She nods at Clint and Steve in reply and tells him to go. The Soldier reluctantly acquiesces.]]
* WhenSheSmiles: She doesn't smile often, but when she does, it's beautiful.


!!Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye

A archer with skills unmatched by anyone in the Nine Realms, save for a couple of immortals.

* AcePilot: Is the Avengers' go-to pilot and good enough to [[spoiler: evade hijacked Iron Man suits in a Quinjet]] in chapter 74.
* ArcherArchetype: But of course.
* BigBrotherMentor: He is this, to an extent, to Harry.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Sif, strangely enough.
* TheChick: To the Avengers, to an extent as the ''de facto'' youngest member - while Steve is a year younger, he's TheLeader and acts older.
* ChickMagnet: Natasha and he have a mutual attraction and Carol expresses serious appreciation for his arms, as does his ex, [[spoiler: Wanda]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Not as much as some, but still plenty.
* DefusingTheTykeBomb: He did this, at least in part, with Natasha.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Turns out that, like his Ultimate counterpart, he's got enhanced vision, in his case because [[spoiler: he's Minerva [=McGonagall's=] grandson via Bucky Barnes]]. His, however, goes a bit further...
* FriendlySniper: When off-duty, he's kind, charming and good with kids.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: He can ricochet an arrow off three pillars to hit a target right behind him and is considered to be the joint finest shot in the Nine Realms along with the inspiration for Legolas.
* InnateNightVision: He's got this too.
* HasAType: Older women who don't look it.
* OldFlame: [[spoiler: Wanda Maximoff]] of all people.
* ProfessionalKiller: Used to be this. As [[spoiler: his grandmother]] Minerva notes, he probably still is.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: He can use guns, and to devastating effect, but he prefers his bow and arrow.
* TangledFamilyTree: Nearly as bad as Harry in this regard. [[spoiler: His maternal grandparents are Bucky Barnes and Minerva [=McGonagall=] and his mother was Jonathan Kent's adopted sister, making him Clark Kent's first cousin]].
* TrueSight: He's not got the fully fledged Sight, but he can see magic and wards.
* XRayVision: Might have this to one extent or another.

!!Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch

Mutant, witch, former apprentice to Doctor Strange and his heir apparent as Sorcerer Supreme. Accordingly one of the most powerful people on the planet, having mastered the ColonyDrop. Also Harry's godmother and [[spoiler: Hermione's biological mother]]. Blames herself for failing to take Harry in after Godric's Hollow, even though her enemies were such that he'd probably have been dead or worse in short order.

* ActionMom: [[spoiler: Hermione's. The dentists Hermione lives with are carefully selected foster parents.]]
* AdaptationalBadass: While not more powerful than she's been in canon, she's more controlled and consistently powerful (whereas canon Wanda's power goes up and down like a yo-yo).
* AmicableExes: She is at least not overtly hostile towards [[spoiler: Clint]], and still attracted to him. John Constantine, on the other hand...
* AntagonisticOffspring: Opposed her father in the past and is very sceptical of his HeelFaceTurn.
* TheArchmage: She's Strange's heir apparent as Sorcerer Supreme and has, at his urging, taken on an apprentice of her own. In raw power terms, she's second only to Strange and Loki for magical power.
* TheAtoner: For what she sees as her failure to protect Harry from what he suffered at the Dursleys and [[spoiler: her putting her own daughter, Hermione, up for adoption for much the same reasons, though in the latter case she made sure that Hermione was going to be HappilyAdopted]]. While in both cases they were pretty impossible situations, and both Harry and Thor have forgiven her - it took the former a little time, though - she hasn't forgiven herself.
* BackToBackBadasses: With Dresden during the fight against the N'Garai in Chicago in ''Chaos Reigns''.
* {{Badass}}: As most of the other tropes listed here demonstrate.
* BadassTeacher: Takes on Dresden as her apprentice at the end of ''Chaos Reigns''.
* BattleCouple: With Dresden, as of the end of ''Chaos Reigns''.
* BigDamnHeroes: Her entrance in Chapter 45 oozes this in all its awesome glory.
* BuxomIsBetter: Heavily implied.
* ColonyDrop: Can do this with meteors and, as Doctor Strange notes, with pin point precision.
** She did this to '''[[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Nicodemus Archleone]]'''.
** We finally get to see her do this at the climax of ''Chaos Reigns'' in order to severely injure a [[KingMook Mabdhara]]. She, literally, barely breaks a sweat.
* CovertPervert: Occasionally, if her comments about Clint's arms and Harry Dresden in a leather coat are anything to go by.
* CuddleBug: Where Harry is concerned, at least.
* CurvesInAllTheRightPlaces: Oh yes. Dresden notes this in his inner monologue, word for word, while hanging a lampshade on the clichéd nature of the phrase.
* [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou God-Mummy Had A Good Reason For Abandoning You]]: She did. Doesn't stop her feeling guilty as hell about it.
* DeathFromAbove: Seems to be quite fond of this.
* DistractedByTheSexy: She is impressed, shall we say, by Clint's arms. [[spoiler: He's her ex]].
* DotingParent: When they finally meet, is very happy to mother Harry into oblivion.
* FamedInStory: Harry Dresden, no stranger to this himself, actually goes {{Squee}} when he meets her.
* FlyingFirepower: More than capable of dishing out hurt from the sky.
* [[GiveHimANormalLife Give Her A Normal Life]]: Part of her reason for [[spoiler: giving Hermione to the Grangers]]. The other part was similar, but to save her life.
* [[spoiler: GlorifiedSpermDonor]]: Seems to see John Constantine this way.
* GoodIsNotSoft: She can be just as ruthless as her father.
* HasAType: Seems to like the odd DeadpanSnarker OccultDetective, particularly if they're a member of the TrenchcoatBrigade, as evidenced by her ex being John Constantine and her now dating Harry Dresden. If you boil it down to simply {{Badass}} and DeadpanSnarker, then [[spoiler: her other ex, Clint, qualifies]].
* HotGypsyWoman: She has brown hair, fairly pale skin and dresses in fairly practical fashion, but otherwise fits the trope to a t.
* HotWitch: Absolutely drop dead gorgeous.
* InTheBlood: See NotSoDifferent.
* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: Her main reason for not adopting Harry, though she desperately wanted to. [[spoiler: Also for giving away Hermione, a necessity that she bitterly regrets]].
* LadyOfBlackMagic: Specializes in some seriously destructive spells.
* LongLived: As part of WizardsLiveLonger. Looks about 30, at most, at the age of 45.
* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Since Magneto is also a scientist, she qualifies.
* MamaBear: Threatening her godson is a very good way to end up on the wrong end of an [[ColonyDrop orbital bombardment]]. [[spoiler: Threatening her daughter is, arguably, even worse for your health]].
* MostCommonSuperpower: It's not dwelt upon, but Wanda is described as having a fairly spectacular figure.
* MundaneUtility: Fighting the good fight is not a career that pays. Wanda gets around this by using her probability altering powers to win the lottery.
* [[spoiler: MySecretPregnancy]]: With the help of [[SecretKeeper Lily]], she [[spoiler: kept her pregnancy secret and got her daughter, Hermione, adopted by the Grangers for many of the same reasons that she couldn't take in Harry]].
* NotSoDifferent: Though she clearly doesn't like him, (and called him out for being NotSoDifferent to the Nazis and those who persecuted the Romani) she does quite obviously take after her father in the way [[TheDreaded she's regarded by her enemies and the authorities]], [[PersonOfMassDestruction her power levels]] and [[MamaBear her protectiveness of family.]]
** And [[spoiler: what happened to her daughter and godson]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: Is in her mid forties. Looks about thirty, if that.
* ParentsAsPeople: Lives and breathes this.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: One of the most powerful mortals alive, behind only Doctor Strange (whose mortality is dubious), possibly her father and the Hulk. This is the woman who has ''mastered'' the ColonyDrop.
* {{UsefulNotes/Romani}}: Her mother was a Romani sorceress, and she grew up in the care of her mother's clan.
* ScarletFever: Dresses mostly in shades of red and wields red magic.
* StrongerWithAge: During the Wizarding War, she just about managed to take Lucius and Bellatrix at once. Impressive, but not world shaking. A decade or so later, she's unleashing DeathFromAbove, an accomplished Mistress of the ColonyDrop and possessor of a serious reputation.
* SupernaturallyYoungParent: [[spoiler: Looks this way, but only because she has some degree of slowed ageing]].
* TwerpSweating: She is clearly contemplating this in chapter 62 when Thor mentions that [[spoiler: Ron]] has a crush on [[spoiler: Hermione, Wanda's daughter]].
* WhiteSheep: Feels that she is this for her family. [[spoiler: Her daughter would qualify too]].
* WizardsLiveLonger: She is 45 and doesn't look it, with the implication being that she has a considerably extended life span.
* ZipMeUp: Intentionally invokes this by asking Dresden to undo her 'stuck' bra strap when getting changed. He doesn't quite take the hint, being neck deep in denial.

!!Odin Borson

King of Asgard, father of Thor and Loki and grandfather of Harry. Possessor of the OmniscientMoralityLicense and TheChainsOfCommanding, and isn't particularly fond of the latter.

* BadassGrandpa: It is very easy to see where Thor and Loki get it from. This is the guy who teleported ''an entire star system'' across dimensions, enlarged Asgard's space so that it would fit without the various gravitational pulls messing each other up, and back again, without leaving even a grain of dust out of place.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: He's played a considerable part in Earth's history.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: He must act as a King, first and foremost.
* DeadpanSnarker: While he doesn't do it often, you can see where his sons got it from.
* DotingGrandParent: He doesn't exactly dote on his grandson, but he does soften around him and allow him remarkable latitude, albeit behind closed doors.
* TheGoodKing: He is firm, but fair.
* MagnificentBastard: See ManipulativeBastard.
* ManipulativeBastard: Even better at this than ''Loki'', who observes that not only did he inherit this particular talent from Odin, Odin managed to manipulate him into doing exactly what he wanted with three words.
* MisterExposition: At times.
* OmniscientMoralityLicense: While not strictly omniscient, he sees a much bigger picture than others do. And as he explains to Harry, while he looks human, he is very definitely not - to him, the decade that Harry spent at the Dursleys was equivalent to a month, if that. That said, he does apologise.
* RealityWarper: While he has limits, he is immensely powerful.
* TimeAbyss: He's comfortably a thousand years older than Stonehenge, and because of this, he has a rather different perspective on time.

!!Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden

Wizard PI and the black sheep of the White Council, who occasionally consults for CPD and SHIELD. DeadpanSnarker and a HeroOfAnotherStory, meaning that his POV sections (written in first person, as in the books) offer a different perspective on the events of the series. Unless noted otherwise, all tropes that apply to him before ''Literature/DeadBeat'' still apply.

* {{Adorkable}}: Very much so.
* TheArchmage: Potentially. Wanda takes him on as her apprentice, putting him in line for Sorcerer Supreme some day.
* BackToBackBadasses: With Ward against the ''veidrdraugar'' in Paris, and with Wanda against the N'Garai in Chicago.
* {{Badass}}: Leaving aside his canon background, he managed to [[spoiler: use his Death Curse to hurt/frighten Gravemoss and launch him most of the way into orbit, punting him from Paris to the North Sea, serving him up neatly for Tony, Wanda and Thor to attack. He Got Better, thanks to Doctor Strange]].
** Him and Ward tag teaming the ''veidrdraugar'' pack around them wasn't bad either.
* BadassBaritone: Both Coulson and Wanda note that while he's normally softly spoken, he has one when he gets angry.
* BadassOnPaper: He's plenty badass in real life, but as he observes, his achievements sound a lot more impressive until you know about the caveats, the near-misses, etcetera.
* BadassTeacher: Bruce Wayne is his PI apprentice (and learning magical theory, though he has no magic of his own).
* BattleCouple: Becomes one with Wanda as of the end of ''Chaos Reigns''.
* BerserkButton: Hurting innocents in general, women and children in particular.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Coulson plays on it to get him involved in a case that is very much out of his league.
* DeadpanSnarker: Constantly. He's the only character who could give Tony Stark a run for his money. Nick Fury has sworn to never let the two meet because of this.
* DestructiveSaviour: Fury discounts him as a potential wielder of the Green Lantern Ring because of this tendency.
* DorkKnight: Wanda explicitly notes this in her inner monologue. This trait tends to reassure people who would otherwise freak out at his raw power.
** Demonstrated in chapter 2 of ''Chaos Reigns'', after he's wiped out a number of N'Garai attacking the CPD perimeter, outright ''vaporising'' several of them. His immediate reaction to Karrin Murphy's stunned and slightly unnerved stare is to think that something is wrong with his hair, having taken a very quick trip through the sky just beforehand.
* TheDreaded: Explicitly observes that those who know that magic is real often end up seeing him as 'Darth Dresden'. Considering his resume of monsters fought/slain, this is not without reason. [[spoiler: Chapter 62 states that Gravemoss' nightmares aren't of Loki or Thor. ''They're of '''Dresden'''''.]]
** Dumbledore considers hiring him, [[{{Troll}} simply to see the effect his reputation would have on Fudge]].
* FamedInStory: Hermione's heard of him and thinks that he's a fake, because he's acting as a Wizard in plain sight. Ron, on the other hand, and those who are a bit more clued, know perfectly well who he is and have [[FamedInStory heard all]] [[TheDreaded the stories.]]
* HandicappedBadass: His left hand is pretty much a horror prop following a run in with a [[TheRenfield Renfield]] armed with a homemade flamethrower. Unlike canon, he doesn't have pyrophobia because SHIELD put him in contact with Charles Xavier as thanks for services rendered.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He's one of the few viewpoint characters who isn't directly involved in the main plot and his narration makes explicit the suggestion that he has his own adventures. He's also the star of the ''Chaos Reigns'' spinoff.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: After their encounter in the Catacombs of Paris, [[OmnicidalManiac Gravemoss]] now has nightmares about him.
* HotForTeacher: Following Wanda taking him on as both boyfriend and Apprentice.
* IAmHavingSoulPains: He's practically at ground zero when Gravemoss pulls his version of [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick familicide]] and it goes... badly.
* KillItWithFire: His main battle strategy.
--> '''Nick Fury''': The funny thing about Harry Dresden is that you can tell where he’s been because it’s ''always'' on fire.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee. He fiercely denies that he is one. However, his reaction to meeting Wanda (and hypothetically Captain America) says otherwise.
* MaleGaze: Occasionally has this, with Wanda being the recipient, and strenuously tries to resist it.
* MemeticBadass: Approaches this InUniverse, crossing over with TheDreaded.
* ObliviousToLove: He completely misses Wanda's flirting with him to the point of outright denial. [[spoiler: It takes her giving him TheBigDamnKiss to get the point.]]
* OccultDetective: one of the best on the planet, leading to his occasional employment by SHIELD.
* OldSchoolChivalry: Something of an exponent of this.
* ProperlyParanoid: After Paris, goes everywhere armed to the teeth with mystical and mundane weaponry.
* SadClown: His life has had a tendency to suck.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: The main reason that SHIELD employs him every so often. He's one of the best magical trackers on the planet.

!!Doctor Stephen Strange

The mysterious Sorcerer Supreme, like his canon counterpart, deputed with protecting the universe from things, and people, who would destroy it/rule it. Unlike his canon counterpart, he is a mixture of [[{{Seers}} seer]] and time traveller (or so it is assumed, as his predictions, when he makes them, never fail to come true), pursuing an unknown agenda, and is influencing events to that end. Seemingly as part of this, he resurrected Coulson [[spoiler: and Sif and Harry Dresden]], along with a lot of smaller things, like ensuring that the odd file wound up on someone else's desk. Very, very rarely gives a straight answer, and even something that appears to be a straight answer is likely nothing of the sort.

* AllAccordingToPlan: Occasionally says this.
* AncientConspiracy: Seems to be a one man version of this trope. He's centuries old, a time traveller and as Dumbledore observes in Chapter 65, he seems to be involved in everything.
* TheArchmage: The archetypal example.
* {{Badass}}: Doesn't often throw down for various reasons, but when he went toe to toe with [[DealWithTheDevil demon powered]] Grindelwald, the resulting brawl flattened Berlin. Grindelwald was left severely weakened, barely any stronger than he would be naturally, setting him neatly for Dumbledore to defeat. Strange, apparently, walked away whistling.
** Is mentioned to have handled [[spoiler: the Disir]] off-screen and, sometime in the past, proved a match for [[GodOfEvil Gravemoss]].
** One of the things he's most famous for is challenging the entire White Council - as in, all of them, at once - to a duel over a young Wanda Maximoff. These are the most powerful wandless Wizards in the world, at least eight of them are pushing PhysicalGod power levels or can throw down with beings on that level, while the Wardens, specialised combat Wizards, all fall into the PersonOfMassDestruction category. And they ''backed down.''
* TheButterflyEffect: Exploits this, and effectively.
* TheChessmaster: He's barely been seen, but the impression that he gives off is that he is at least five steps ahead of everyone else, smoothly navigating the GambitPileup.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: As is noted in the narration, he has a wicked sense of humour.
* ExactWords: According to Fury, while he WillNotTellALie, it is wise to pay very close attention to what he's actually saying.
* GentlemanWizard: Though one willing to get his hands dirty when the situation actually requires it.
* TheGhost: Frequently mentioned, but we only actually see a very faint glimpse of him in chapter 39, a brief scene in which he says three words in chapter 43, another brief glimpse in chapter 45, then an actual appearance at the tail end of chapter 47/start of chapter 48, before he disappears again.
* GoodIsNotNice: This sets once you realise that he knew of pretty much all the bad things that have happened before they did and didn't lift a finger to stop them from happening, in some cases tacitly arranging for them to do so. While he's working for TheGreaterGood and is genuinely out to protect Earth, with his actions [[spoiler: implied to be preparing Earth to take on Thanos]], but still... once you think about it, it's kind of cold.
* GrinOfAudacity: It took up residence on his face several centuries ago and has stayed there ever since.
* HalfTruth: Specialises in these. Everything he says is true. Technically.
* LongLived: He's well over four hundred years old, at least.
* MagnificentBastard: Quite possibly the biggest in the setting. [[GambitPileup Which is saying something]].
* ManipulativeBastard: Everyone seems to be puppets on his strings, to the point where Lucius suspects that Strange ensured that Nick Fury became the SHIELD liaison to the Order of the Phoenix in order to manufacture his rise to power.
* MysteriousPast: No one's quite sure how old he is and where he comes from.
* TheOmniscient: The jury is out as to whether he is actually omniscient or simply very close. Wanda, his former apprentice, notes that he's never been wrong about a prediction, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny unless he was trying to claim that she would tidy her room.]]
* OmniscientMoralityLicense: Never explicitly claims this, but the implication that it's all for the best is there.
* ParanoiaFuel: His reputation means that any sign of his involvement is this.
* ParentalSubstitute: Seems to have been this for Wanda.
* PerpetualSmiler: Is very rarely seen without a GrinOfAudacity on his face. Occasionally comes off as a SmugSmiler, though he can more than back up the smugness.
* RealityWarper: It is repeatedly implied that the Laws of Reality are something that happen to other people.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: he's over four hundred years old, and that's just the part that people know about.
* {{Seers}}: He is suspected to be one.
* SmugSmiler: To an extent. The smile itself, a slightly smug smirk/mysterious smile, fits this, but the reason for it pushes it into GrinOfAudacity territory.
** This tendency has been known to annoy other people, such as Ebenezar [=McCoy=].
* TruthTwister: one of his favoured tricks involves bending the truth almost beyond recognition.
* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Frequently employs this.
* WillNotTellALie: According to Fury. Of course, this doesn't mean that he's going to be ''honest'', however...
* WizardsLiveLonger: Looks like he's in his early forties and has since he surfaced at the dawn of the 17th century. No one's really sure how old he is.

!!Jane Foster

Genius astrophysicist and Thor's girlfriend - though it is hinted that he is thinking of proposing, some time in the not too distant future.

* AbsentMindedProfessor: Occasionally comes off as this, being a [[GenderInvertedTrope Rare Female Example]].
* ActionSurvivor: Is calm under fire.
* AdoptivePeerParent: A key source of awkwardness between her and Harry, since she's barely twice his age and not ready to be a parent yet, let alone parent to a teenager. Once they hash things out, she shifts to BigSisterInstinct.
* {{Adorkable}}: She is still this.
* BadassBookworm
* BigSisterInstinct: See MamaBear. Possibly also to her occasionally mentioned half brother who is implied to be [[spoiler: Matt Murdock a.k.a. Daredevil]].
* BrainyBrunette: Most definitely.
* HotScientist: Very much so.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Fits the tiny girl part - compared to Thor, she's pocket sized.
* MacGyvering: How she made most of her tech and, though she had SI[=/=]SHIELD support for the 'New Bifrost' project, she essentially [[MacGyvering MacGyvered]] ''interdimensional travel''.
* MadScientist: Believes that this is the inevitable result when a scientist goes to work at the Pentagon.
* MamaBear: Crossing over with BigSisterInstinct in relation to Harry, once they get past the weirdness.
* MoralityChain: Has to play this to [[spoiler: Harry]] in chapter 74.
* NiceGirl: She is consistently kind, warm hearted and sweet.
* SecondLove: To Thor, after Lily.
* SleepCute: With Harry, when he wakes up early one morning and essentially falls asleep in the kitchen, cuddling up to her.
* SmartGirl: Freaking genius girl, more like. Three degrees and possibly the leading mind in Astrophysics.
* SuperIntelligence: To a lesser degree than Tony, as she's not an OmnidisciplinaryScientist, but still insanely clever - she was the leading mind behind the New Bifrost. Beyond that, it's mentioned that she knows pretty much everything there is to know about parallel dimensions.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Not one herself, but she builds tech that allows people to do this across dimensions.
** And as of chapter 74, has essentially built her own version of [[Series/DoctorWho Captain Jack Harkness' Vortex Manipulator.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: She and Darcy snark at each other and she usually ends up using Darcy as a test dummy for the teleportation devices based off the Bifrost.

!!Pepper Potts

[[HonestCorporateExecutive CEO of Stark Industries]], girlfriend of Tony Stark and TeamMom / resident cat herder of Avengers Tower.

* ActionSurvivor: Not a fighter, but calm under pressure, even when that pressure takes the form of [[spoiler: (a mercifully benign) Winter Soldier or an evil AI that has hijacked Avengers Tower and all the technology within.]]
* {{Badass}}: Not a fighter, but [[spoiler: putting yourself between a bunch of kids and [[TheDreaded the Winter Soldier]]]] takes serious balls.
* FictionFiveHundred: She runs a company in this bracket.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: At a contrast to the likes of Stane, Hammer and runners of Roxxon.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Used to be this to Tony, and is now sort of this to the Avengers, as general factotum.
* [[spoiler: MySecretPregnancy]]: It's unknown as to whether she's aware of it or not.
** As of Chapter 68, she's aware of it and so is everyone else.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Despite being one of the most powerful women on the planet, she's unhesitatingly kind and friendly to those who are socially below her.
* ParentalSubstitute: Is something of a substitute mother to Harry.
* [[spoiler: PregnantBadass]]: [[spoiler: Her pregnancy is subtly implied. Her badassery is not]].
* SmartGirl: Running a [[FictionFiveHundred FTSE 100 corporation]] requires serious smarts.
* TeamMom: Along with Loki, is basically the one who keeps the Avengers and their affiliates, particularly Tony, sane and vaguely organised. This includes taking Harry clothes shopping. Is also something a surrogate mum to Harry, in the vein of Mrs Weasley.

!!Lady Sif

Asgard's [[GodOfWar Goddess of War]], a certified {{Badass}} and TeamMom/OnlySaneMan to the Warriors Three. Also has an unrequited thing with Loki. It's mutual.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: After a fashion. When Loki, with whom she has considerable {{UST}}, says that he's not safe, Tony retorts that she's the Goddess of War. She can handle herself and she most likely does not ''want'' safe.
* AmicableExes: Her and Thor.
* [[spoiler: AndShowItToYou: Is on the receiving end of this from Gravemoss. Thankfully, Doctor Strange is on hand to regenerate her heart once Dresden blasts Gravemoss halfway into orbit - and heal Dresden too]].
* {{Badass}}: She's the goddess of war. And she ''earned'' the title. This includes mowing through several undead sea serpents each larger than a 747 and having beaten up [[GodOfWar Ares]] several centuries previously. According to Athena, he's still sulking about it.
** As the narration notes, 'no one fucks with Lady Sif'.
* BadassTeacher: Uhtred's her protégé.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Clint, strangely enough. They don't necessarily like or dislike each other, but he's her least favourite of the Avengers because he reminds her of herself. As the narration points out, you don't always like what you see in the mirror.
* BloodKnight: Regards an onrushing undead sea serpent as a welcome relief from boredom and is mildly disappointed that Dresden and Ward seem to have finished up with the ''veidrdraugar'' under Paris before she arrived.
* DualWielding: Her sword-staff arrangement can be split into two swords.
* GodOfWar: Was made this by Odin, and it comes with a few abilities, such as making her an InstantExpert in any weapon she picks up, and potentially, have full on SuperSpeed and be capable of matching Thor in SuperStrength. She doesn't use either of the latter two abilities, considering it unsporting and it is possible that they come with downsides.
* [[MasterSwordsman Master Swordswoman]]: She was taught by the Lady Knight alongside Fandral, the latter being her only peer.
* NouveauRiche: Her family's hinted not to be particularly high up the social scale.
* OldFlame: She and Thor are AmicableExes.
* OnlySaneMan: To the Warriors Three.
* PlatonicLifePartners: She and Thor evolved into this.
* SuperStrength: As is standard for Asgardians.
* TeamMom: To the Warriors Three. It gets to the point where she can tell Fandral to stop doing something without even looking around to see what it is.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the royal family.
* UseYourHead: Knocks Fandral out cold with a headbutt from a seated position when he was in the midst of relating an embarrassing (and explicit) story about her and Thor.

!!The Warriors Three

Volstagg the Voluminous, Fandral the Dashing and Hogun the Grim are three of Asgard's greatest warriors. They are also a ripe source of comedy. That said, [[LetsGetDangerous when matters get serious, so do they]].

* {{Badass}}: They may get up to some profoundly weird things, but they are still Asgard's greatest warriors. Their competence is not in doubt.
* BattleCouple: Fandral forms one with Betsy.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: They're odd and frequently serve as the comic relief. They are also three of Asgard's deadliest warriors and they will not hesitate to demonstrate it if necessary.
* BigEater: Volstagg.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: There's no denying that they're weird and occasionally ridiculous, but they are very, ''very'' good at fighting.
* TheCasanova: Fandral.
--> Please, ladies. There is ''more'' than enough of Fandral the Dashing to go around.
* DeadpanSnarker: Hogun.
* HandsomeLech: Fandral, overlapping with ChivalrousPervert.
* HiddenDepths: Volstagg has a great deal of insight into Harry's difficulties early on, being a father himself.
* HoldTheLine: They held the line with Loki and Sif against an onrushing army of undead monsters from every mythology imaginable, including a number of colossal sea serpents.
* LetsGetDangerous: Their numerous eccentricities are discarded as soon as matters get serious.
* LightningBruiser: Fandral is noted as the second swiftest of the Asgardians, short only Asgard's resident speedster, Hermod. When he really gets moving, he moves in a barely visible blur and like all Asgardians, has the SuperStrength to back it up.
* MasterSwordsman: Fandral. His only peer in the entire Nine Realms is Sif, and both of them were taught by InUniverse MemeticBadass the Lady Knight.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Hogun joins in Volstagg and Fandral's stranger exploits, including their clog dancing to Mambo Number Five.
* OneManArmy: Each can take on an army alone.
* OnlySaneMan: Hogun.
* PapaWolf: Volstagg.
* PowerTrio
* ReallyGetsAround: Fandral.
* ShipperOnDeck: Fandral ships Sif/Loki.
* StoutStrength: Volstagg is the strongest Asgardian outside of the Royal Family and Heimdall.
* StraightMan: Hogun serves as this, usually being the voice of reason.
* TrueCompanions: To Thor, Sif and Loki.

!!Director Nicholas Joseph Fury of SHIELD

[[UsedToBeASweetKid Was once a cheerful, friendly]] NiceGuy, a former Army Ranger and SHIELD liaison to the Order of the Phoenix, big brother figure to Lily Potter and drinking buddy of Sirius Black and John Constantine. That changed the night that the Potters were murdered. That incident drove him to become the Director of SHIELD within a decade and gain a reputation as one of the most powerful, dangerous and feared men on the planet. While he's a good guy and ultimately heroic, he is ''the'' master spy and will stop at nothing to protect humanity from the monsters.

----

* ArchEnemy: Lucius Malfoy.
* BatmanGambit: Employs an extremely effective one against Baron Von Strucker in chapter 42, who swiftly finds himself OutGambitted.
* BattleAmongstTheFlames: Fought Lucius Malfoy in one of these after the attack on Godric's Hollow and beat him, before leaving him to die in the burning ruins of Malfoy Manor. It cost him his eye and Lucius Malfoy his wand and full use of one of his legs (it is implied that the fight left further marks on Lucius that he concealed).
* BestServedCold: At the end of the Voldemort War, he was a one eyed young SHIELD Agent without the means to take on the Ministry (which, according to Thor, he largely blames for the Voldemort War and failing to protect both muggleborns and muggles) or Lucius Malfoy. So he goes back to the US. Twelve years later, he's Director of SHIELD, has the Avengers on call and has been implied to be in control of the American Wizarding World. By the start of the story, he's pretty much the most powerful man in the Western hemisphere and ready for his revenge.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Had this towards Lily.
* BrokenPedestal: A number of his former Order acquaintances, including Thor once he regains his memories as James, are shocked and horrified by the change in Fury. This doesn't seem to bother him in the slightest.
* TheChessmaster: One of the better ones in the setting.
* CynicismCatalyst: The war against Voldemort in general seems to have been one for him, but the crowner was Lily and James' deaths (though James, as it would turn out, was NotQuiteDead) and what happened to Harry afterwards.
* EyepatchOfPower: Oh yes.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: To the enemies of humanity, going from a talented young SHIELD Agent to one of the most feared and powerful men on the planet in about ten years.
* {{Foil}}: To Lucius Malfoy.
* FourStarBadass: As best displayed in chapter 42. It also serves to mark him out from Lucius, who's a DiabolicalMastermind and prefers to avoid doing his own dirty work whenever possible.
* TheGwenStacy: Lily was this to him and [[CynicismCatalyst her death, as well as the status of the Order as greatly outmatched underdogs during the Voldemort War,]] drove him to become Director of SHIELD in an effort to ensure that humanity could defend itself from the supernatural and bring down powerful figures like Lucius Malfoy who could previously buy their way out of justice.
* HandicappedBadass: The man can fight. Oh, he can fight.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: The man believes in heroes. He was also persuaded by Agent Coulson to leave an infant Kal-El in the custody of the Kents and went to a great deal of trouble to conceal his existence.
** Chapter 48 also implies that he definitely cares for Harry, who he was almost godfather to (Sirius got the nod instead) and isn't visiting him because he can't afford to be distracted.
** According to Draco, after the above BattleAmongstTheFlames with Lucius and nursing a ruined eye, Fury noticed that the infant Draco was trapped at the top of the stairs. He immediately ran through the flames and carried Draco to safety.
* KillItWithFire: Tried to do this to Lucius Malfoy. With ''napalm''. The results left most of Malfoy Manor a smoking ruin.
* ManipulativeBastard: He's very, very good at this.
* NotGoodWithPeople: Or at least, not good with people he cares about, which is a short list indeed.
* OverrankedSoldier: According to WordOfGod, he's 43 at the oldest. That's still at least five years younger than any Director of a major intelligence agency ever, and he's been Director of SHIELD for several years. Possibly a JustifiedTrope considering Alexander Pierce's involvement in his rise to the Directorship and Lucius Malfoy's mentioning of the Bogota Incident.
* TheSpymaster: As Tony put it, he is ''the'' spy. His secrets have secrets.
* TheStoic: Following Lily's death. Alexander Pierce comments that Fury's been pretty bad with emotions ever since they first got to know each other.
* TerrorHero: As Thor observes, he casts a very long shadow.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: He was a much more cheerful and relaxed guy until Godric's Hollow. Since he cut ties with the Order pretty shortly afterwards, his current demeanour comes as a very nasty shock to his former compatriots.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: A heroic variant. He'll stop at nothing to protect humanity. ''Nothing.''


!!Lily Potter née Evans

Harry's mother and the LostLenore for Thor - though he seems to have got over her death. [[spoiler: Actually only dead for a given value of dead]].

* ActionMom: To Harry.
* AlmightyMom: Suggested to have been this in life. [[spoiler: Perhaps a more literal example than most in death]].
* AlwaysWithYou: To Harry. [[spoiler: Again, possibly more literally than most]].
* {{Badass}}: She faced down Voldemort to protect her son and was apparently a remarkably powerful witch. Sirius also comments that she had 'one hell of a right hook'.
* BuxomIsBetter: According to Sirius, she had 'fantastic breasts'.
* FieryRedhead: Harry apparently gets his temper from her (though Loki observes that it could just as easily have come from his HotBlooded father) and according to Sirius, she had one hell of a right hook.
* FirstLove: To James/Thor.
* GreenEyes: As per canon, and like her son, they're even more significant than usual.
* TheGwenStacy: To Thor and, non-romantically, to Nick Fury.
* HeroicSacrifice: As per canon, she died for her son.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Wanda Maximoff, naming her godmother to Harry and [[spoiler: being the only one Wanda confided in about her pregnancy and then helping facilitate Hermione's adoption by the Grangers]].
* HotBlooded: A temper runs in the family.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: She had this dynamic with Nick Fury.
* LostLenore: To Thor, though he seems to have moved on.
* MamaBear: She died for her son and the protection she managed to grant him tends to react violently to threats, ''incinerating'' Quirell. [[spoiler: Being dead doesn't seem to have slowed her down all that much]].
* NoodleIncident: WordOfGod has suggested that she had a run in with the Summer Court and that they liked her.
* NotQuiteDead: Either this or dead, but still capable of influencing the world.
* PostHumousCharacter: By the time of the story, she's been dead for twelve years. [[spoiler: She's NotQuiteDead]].
* ThePhoenix: Like her son, is associated with this motif to a suspicious extent, one made even more suspicious by the fact that her first cousin once removed is [[spoiler: Jean Grey.]]
* PregnantBadass: Fought while she was pregnant with Harry.
* PsychicPowers: Possessed the genetic potential for these, potential which blossomed in her son.
* SecretKeeper: For Wanda [[spoiler: keeping her pregnancy and the resultant baby a secret and helping to have said child adopted]].
* SignificantGreenEyedRedHead: Like in canon and [[spoiler: like her first cousin once removed, Jean Grey]].
* SuperPowerfulGenetics: Her mother's maiden name was Grey, and she seems to have bequeathed the PsychicPowers associated with that name on her son.
* TeenPregnancy: She was 19 and a half when she got pregnant.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Other Heroes and Allies]]

!!Peter Wisdom a.k.a. [[spoiler: Regulus Black]]

Agent, then Director, of [=MI13=], mutant, [[spoiler: wanded wizard]] and protégé of Nick Fury. Like his canon counterpart, he has a tendency to wear suits, smoke and snark.
----
[[hardline]]

* TheAtoner: Pretty much his raison d'etre.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Albeit a somewhat rumpled one. While wearing it, he went toe to toe with [[spoiler: the Winter Soldier]] and survived the experience.
* BadassLongCoat: Occasionally wears one over the suit.
* CompositeCharacter: Of Marvel's Peter Wisdom and [[spoiler: Regulus Black]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: He used to be Regulus Black, a Death Eater]].

* ElaborateUndergroundBase: When he takes control of [=MI13=], he converts abandoned and disused portions of the London Underground into a series of bases to operate out of.
* FamedInStory: Not to any great extent, but he's known and feared.
* FourStarBadass: On his promotion to the Directorship of [=MI13=], fighting on the front lines.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Seems to occupy this position among British intelligence, as no one knows where he comes from and consequently, don't trust him. Chapter 70 reveals that the PM likes him, finding his confidence reassuring.
* GoodIsNotNice: Much like his mentor, Nick Fury, he's grumpy, snarky and ruthless, he won't blink an eye before manipulating a genuinely good person into doing what he wants.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Notes to Jackie Falsworth that he picked the habit up from John Constantine.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: He used to be a Death Eater before he realised what they were really like]].
* TheHunter: Used to be this, gaining a reputation. Now he runs an entire organisation of these.
* InterServiceRivalry: M doesn't like or trust him and he seems intent on picking a fight with the Ministry of Magic - specifically, he intends for [=MI13=] to supplant them as chief handlers of the supernatural in Britain.
* ManipulativeBastard: Successfully blackmails Wanda into being his ace in the hole [[spoiler: by threatening to tell her daughter, Hermione, that Wanda is her mother]].
* MysteriousPast: InUniverse very few people know who he used to be, which is why most of his peers don't trust him.
* OverRankedSoldier: Even more than Nick Fury - he becomes Director of [=MI13=] at ''31''. [[JustifiedTrope This, however, is because he's one of the few surviving senior Agents and, as M admits, very good at his job.]]
* PlayingWithFire: His hot knives.
* PreMortemOneLiner: In chapter 71 to a luckless HYDRA Agent, part of a team lured into a trap.
--> I'll let you in on a little secret, sunshine. That intel? It wasn't good.
* ShipTease: With his right hand woman, [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Jessica Drew]]. Somewhat subverted, though, as his POV section makes reference to his realising that he'd have to pick between dating and having the two of them be separated at work or putting the feelings aside and picking the latter.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Much like his canon counterpart.
* ThatManIsDead: Hints at this attitude in regard to his past life in chapter 64.
* TrenchCoatBrigade: A card-carrying member of this.
* TheUnfettered: It's heavily implied by his dialogue that limits are for other people.
* UpToEleven: Everything Nick Fury is, he's more.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Intentionally invokes this occasionally to annoy Fury. His default is a rough East London accent with a hint of class beneath it.
* WolverineClaws: He can use his 'hot knives' as these, to gruesome effect.

!!Charles Xavier a.k.a. Professor Xavier

The most powerful [[PsychicPowers Telepath]] on Earth and BigGood of the currently secret mutant community. Also godfather to Tony Stark and very plugged in to the nascent superhero community. Grandfatherly and kind, he likes helping people but equally, is not to be underestimated. Currently keeping secrets from both Tony and Harry, something which he does not enjoy doing. [[spoiler:Has recently revealed to Harry that Jean is Harry's cousin, and given his reasons for this.]]

* BadassGrandpa: He's well into his seventies, undisclosed deaging incident notwithstanding, and it's only refined his badassery.
* BadassTeacher: Is implied to have destroyed Weapon X when they came after Wolverine and a teacher of many badasses, including, in the case of Sean, a BadassTeacher or two. In any case, he impresses ''[[PhysicalGod Odin]]'', which says all that needs to be said.
* BaldOfAwesome: Very bald - though he wasn't always - and very awesome.
* ChromeDomePsi: As usual.
* DeadpanSnarker: Snarks at Sebastian Shaw II and, emphasising the deadpan part, at Jean's belief that there's nothing whatsoever between her and Scott.
* TheFettered: Is devoted to his students and his dream, and has incredible willpower, which helps him prevent himself from becoming another Magneto.
* IAmHavingSoulPains: Thanks to the fact that he was using Cerebro at the time, he's worst hit by the wave of dark magic that Gravemoss unleashes, which puts him into a coma and very nearly kills him.
* KeepingSecretsSucks: Is not happy in the slightest about having to keep Harry and Jean apart [[spoiler: and seems rather relieved when he finally gets to tell Harry]]. Nor does he seem particularly pleased that [[spoiler: he can't tell Tony the truth about his mother]].
* MindOverManners: Is absolutely scrupulous about this and teaches his students to be this way. Judging by Betsy, though, he's aware of the grey areas.
* NiceGuy: The man quite obviously wants to help people in any way he can.
* PsychicPowers: The most powerful [[{{Telepathy}} telepath]] on Earth, though he indicates that Jean will one day take this crown. In the meantime, with the aid of Cerebro and a little guiding from Loki, he managed to get in telepathic contact with Odin.
* SecretKeeper: For more than a few people, but most particularly for the mysterious 'Angel of Cuba'.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averts this, having managed to help Harry Dresden with his (ironic) pyrophobia and helped Harry work through an issue or two. Ironically, he seems to be the ''only'' therapist, with pretty much everyone directed to him. This [[LampshadeHanging is Lampshaded]] [[RunningGag repeatedly]], before the explanation that he's not the only one, but he is by far the best.
* TimeyWimeyBall: Why [[spoiler: he couldn't tell Harry or Jean that they were related.]]


!!Sean Cassidy a.k.a. Banshee

One of the First Class of X-Men who has since led a peripatetic career as an Intelligence Officer during the Vietnam War, an Interpol Detective and most recently, a teacher and bodyguard for the Hogwarts student body, along with his protégé, Warren Worthington III. Currently looks about thirty despite being well into his sixties. The reasons for this have, as yet, only been alluded.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Averts this, despite having more reason to angst.
* AdaptationalBadass: While no slouch to begin with, this version is considerably more dangerous than either his comic or film selves.
* AntiHero: For all that he's a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and a NiceGuy, he is implied to be capable of being spectacularly vicious in his revenge and is more than willing to keep secrets and lie by omission.
** His capacity for viciousness is displayed in chapter 70. It's not pretty.
* TheAntiNihilist: Despite everything he's lost and been through, he remains kind, cheerful and upbeat. However, he isn't entirely unmarked by his experiences, having developed a taste for {{Revenge}} that he has to be careful to control.
* BadassGrandpa: He's over sixty (though he doesn't look it), one of the founding members of the X-Men is a Vietnam veteran and took on the IRA as a detective for Interpol. He was also sounded out by Nick Fury for the Avengers Initiative, picked by Peter Wisdom for his Excalibur squad and regarded by Lucius Malfoy to be a serious threat.
* BadassTeacher: Specifically recruited for his badassery. His teaching (of hand to hand combat) is just to officially justify his presence at Hogwarts.
* BerserkButton: Hurting the innocent or [[BreakTheCutie a character losing their innocence]]. Once it is pressed, he can be relied upon to go on a vicious rampage.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's kindly, friendly and funny, a classic ReasonableAuthorityFigure. However, he's also one of the most dangerous men alive and he does not tolerate people taking liberties in his class - which, being a hand to hand combat class with a fair bit of grappling, is an ever present risk.
* BigBrotherMentor: Expresses regret that he didn't get the chance to be this to his younger cousin, Black Tom, who doesn't seem to be a mutant - though his mutant powers are alluded to when Sean comments that [[GreenThumb he's 'good with plants']].
* BraveScot: Or perhaps Brave Generically Celtic might be more accurate.
* CombatPragmatist: Espouses this philosophy and ruthlessly practises what he preaches.
* CompellingVoice: Part of his power set. He apparently used it on the IRA cell that killed his wife in ways that still give Nick Fury nightmares.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He generally seems to be a fairly happy-go-lucky sort of guy. He's also a Vietnam vet, one of the First Class of the X-Men and considered by Nick Fury, Peter Wisdom and Lucius Malfoy to be very dangerous indeed.
* CrusadingWidower: A surprisingly cheerful, happy go lucky variant. However, it is stated that he's had over a decade to grieve, whatever he did with his CompellingVoice during his RoaringRampageOfRevenge still occasionally gives Nick Fury nightmares and he's got a taste for {{Revenge}}, one that he does his bet to keep a lid on. Also [[BewareTheNiceOnes you]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes ''really'']] [[BewareTheNiceOnes don't want to cross him]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Despite his [[TheAntiNihilist almost purposefully cheerful demeanour]], there's more than a few shadows in his past, stemming from his past as a superhero, military intelligence officer in Vietnam and police detective. His wife's death at the hands of the IRA and his resultant RoaringRampageOfRevenge are just the most notable incidents, with chapter 65 revealing that he's dealt with enough child abuse cases to instantly identify both the after effects of abuse and the methodology of a sexual predator.
* FatalFlaw: {{Revenge}}. More implied than stated, but he's hinted that he got a taste for it during his RoaringRampageOfRevenge after his wife's death, though he's fully aware that it's not a good thing and tries to suppress it.
* GlassShatteringSound: He can do this to glass and many other materials by hitting their resonant frequency.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He is a patient and wise ReasonableAuthorityFigure with a good sense of humour and a kind heart. He is also capable of doing things that give Nick Fury recurrent nightmares when he needs to/his BerserkButton has been thoroughly pushed.
* FunetikAksent: Occasionally. How much this applies depends on how much he wants it to, another aspect of his powers being that he's an excellent mimic. After he starts teaching at Hogwarts, he tones it down somewhat. It should also be noted that it gets thicker under stress.
* HotTeacher: Looks about thirty for unrevealed reasons and happens to be very attractive, as most of the school (and not just the girls) notices.
* InterGenerationalFriendship: With Warren, who notes that Sean is old enough to be his grandfather, [[VitriolicBestBuds 'just refuses to have the decency to look it']].
* LivingLieDetector: He can hear someone's heartbeat change.
* MakeMeWannaShout: The most basic application of his powers.
* ManlyTears: [[spoiler: When he finds Luna's body.]]
* ManOfAThousandVoices: He can mimic a voice perfectly and speak in just about any kind of accent that he chooses.
* TheObiWan: To both Warren and Harry and, to a lesser extent, Dane Whitman.
* OccultBlueEyes: Is noted as having remarkable sea blue eyes.
* OlderThanTheyLook: No one's quite sure why he looks about thirty, but it's suggested to be something to do with an island called Krakoa...
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In-universe example. Part of his powers means [[ManOfAThousandVoices that he can imitate any accent perfectly]] and usually settles on a slightly Irish brogue. It thickens significantly under stress or when he gets angry. [[BewareTheNiceOnes This is is generally a good time to start running.]]
* PietaPlagiarism: [[spoiler: With Luna's dead body]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is remarkably tolerant of Harry's snark, gently pointing out that while he found it funny, not everyone would and that he shouldn't go looking for more trouble (Harry visibly takes this on board) and of Harry's investigating into his painful past. However, you shouldn't push him too far.
* RedHeadedHero: His hair is noted to be true red, not Weasley ginger.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Against the IRA cell that killed his wife. It was, apparently... creative.
* {{Scotireland}}: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the fact that he's lived in Ireland and Scotland for a considerable portion of his life and, to complicate matters further, is originally Irish-American.
* SecretKeeper: Implied to be this for the Angel of Cuba.
* StealthHiBye: Can pull this off well enough to startle [[NobleWolf Freki and Geri]], thanks to his audiokinesis, which, among other things, allows him to dampen sound around him.
* SuperSenses: Thanks to his powers, he's got enhanced hearing, strong enough to use as sonar.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Warren.

!!Warren Worthington III a.k.a. Archangel

A very handsome Anglo-American mutant in his late teenage years who's estranged from his family. The reasons for this lie in his very beautiful, very deadly metal wings.

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His wings.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Is very gloomy and miserable, something for which he is gently teased by other characters, but not without reason - his father fed him Hank [=McCoy=]'s mutation suppression serum against the latter's advice when he was a child, causing his previously feathery wings to turn into metal.
* {{Badass}}: For all his moping, he is an absolute terror in a fight, easily on par with canon Archangel, with his entrance to the theatre of combat taking the form of disabling and beheading a zombified dragon in about ten seconds flat.
** He reminds all of his capabilities when he calls Snape an idiot for saying something particularly stupid. He does this right after Sean has verbally eviscerated Snape, meaning that his pride was sore and he went for his wand. He doesn't even get it out of his pocket before Warren has his wing tips at Snape's throat.
** Chapter 70 aptly demonstrates his capabilities when [[spoiler: HYDRA's aerial assault on Hogwarts begins, with paratroops wearing Falcon suits and armed with Destroyer based cannons. Warren, by contrast, has just woken up, in nothing but his pyjama bottoms]]. A MookHorrorShow ensues.
* BerserkButton: He really does not like bullies.
** Nor does he appreciate apparent callous insensitivity to severe trauma - something which probably goes back to how he got his wings.
* BreakTheCutie: He was fairly broken beforehand, but judging by chapter 72, the events of chapter 70 [[HeroicBSOD all but destroyed him.]]
* ByronicHero: Is explicitly described by Dumbledore as 'more Byronic than Byron'.
* CantHaveSexEver: Because of his RazorWings, he's twitchy about even hugging someone. This fear of intimacy is cited as the reason that he broke up with Jean Grey and is a significant contribution to his angst.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He acts like a typical mopey teenager. He's also a OneManArmy SuperSoldier with RazorWings capable of taking down zombie dragons with ease and he will not hesitate to show it if he feels the need.
* CursedWithAwesome: The development of his mutation gave him RazorWings which, while impediments to his social life, allow him to exceed the speed of sound. He also got SuperStrength greater than Captain America - enough to, according to Sean, 'bench press a troll' and equivalent durability (a car running into him would just annoy him), a powerful HealingFactor and SuperSenses.
* TheCynic: Explicitly says that he thinks that cynics are cute and is such as a result of his powers and his family's rejection of him.
* CynicismCatalyst: The development of his wings into RazorWings as a byproduct of his father trying to get rid of his mutation.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Those wings didn't come naturally.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has quite a sharp wit.
* DopeSlap: Belts Sean around the head when he's busy blaming himself for the Pensieve Incident.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Sean comments that past experience would suggest this.
* GreyEyes: Warren epitomises both the original epitome of beauty association due to his PrettyBoy status and the marksmanship association due to his vision, which is specifically noted as being hawk-like and missing nothing. It's suggested that as a child, he also embodied the innocent association, but those days are long gone.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: In chapter 72, after brutally killing HYDRA's aerial attack force.]]
* HotTeacher: Though he's more of a teaching assistant.
* HumansAreBastards: Seems to think this.
* KnightInSourArmour: Harry identifies him as this, saying that for all the things he says, at heart he's 'a knight in shining feathers'. Warren finds this faintly amusing but doesn't deny it.
* MaleGaze: has noticed Betsy. As of chapter 68, he's started taking topless flights when she's around.
* PrettyBoy: Is ridiculously good looking, with Harry's first comment towards him being that the girls are going to eat him alive.
* RazorWings: Like the current comics incarnation, he has these without the rest of the Archangel/Death appearance.
* StepfordSnarker: Somewhat. His cynical outlook on life and sense of humour come, in large part, from his wings.
* SuperStrength: Noted as being strong enough to 'bench press a troll' and when he gives Sean a DopeSlap, the narration notes that when he smacks something, it stays smacked.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Part of his absolute terror of accidentally hurting someone with his wings. Monsters, like zombified dragons, are fair game, but humans aren't. [[spoiler: This is why his tearing apart HYDRA's aerial assault leaves him with a HeroicBSOD.]]
* {{Wangst}}: Was considered to be this InUniverse by [=McGonagall=]. Her attitude changes after seeing a demonstration of how sharp his wings really are and finding out that he's had them since he was a child. Others occasionally tease him for his miserable attitude.
* WingedHumanoid: The wings bother him. Not so much because they're wings, but because of what they're made of and the crimp that puts on his life.

!!Lady Elizabeth 'Betsy' Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke

Formerly one of the IdleRich who ReallyGetsAround (as, it is implied, a form of rebellion) and all but pounces on Fandral, she almost instantly answers Peter Wisdom's call to arms, swiftly becoming his right hand woman in the field and one of [=MI13's=] most powerful assets. She also proves to be a kind and effective teacher to Harry and counsellor to Ginny.

* {{Badass}}: Though having no previously mentioned combat experience, she more than holds her own against the Shadow King (though that last one required her to bluff him into running away) and at the Battle of the M4.
* BattleCouple: With Fandral.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Fandral.
* BlackSheep: Implies that she's this to her family.
* BlueBlood: A member of the aristocracy.
* CoolBigSis: Takes something of this attitude to Harry and Ginny, the latter in particular, being very happy to gently tease the former.
* DanceBattler: Literally, with Fandral.
* DeadlyUpgrade: Using the Cerebro uplink while exhausted would have been this if the Shadow King hadn't retreated, with Betsy explicitly noting that she'd have been in danger of her mind being destroyed by the strain of such power.
* DyeHard: Her hair is not naturally purple.
* EthicalSlut: Likes sex and doesn't apologise for it, while also being a brave, kind and noble woman.
* FemaleGaze: Fandral and Warren are targets of this.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Her Cerebro password is [[PrecisionFStrike 'fuck you']] rendered in the NATO alphabet.
* GoodFeelsGood: Remarks on this in chapter 68, specifically about how teaching and helping other people with their powers feels good.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Quite graceful - if not quite as much as her canon counterpart - and fond of purple.
* HiddenDepths: After she notes Wisdom's psychic bafflers, she doesn't verbally invite him in to test if he's a vampire or some kind of supernatural creature, then drops her ModestyTowel to get an idea of what he's like.
** She also surprises herself by not only being good at teaching, but enjoying it.
* HotTeacher: Once she starts teaching Harry the psychic ropes.
* IdleRich: Seems to have been this before Wisdom recruits her.
* JumpedAtTheCall: While 'jumped' implies a certain degree of enthusiasm she didn't possess, she required very little convincing.
* LadyOfWar: A beautiful, badass member of the aristocracy who uses butterflies as her chief motif.
* MindOverManners: Careful about this, and praises the attitude in Harry, matter of factly stating that telepathy is pretty much the most dangerous power of all and those with it have a responsibility to use it carefully and wisely. That said, she is willing to be more flexible than other characters if the situation requires it.
* MundaneUtility: It's suggested that she uses her abilities to know who'd be amenable to being propositioned and, in battle, to play backing music for her and Fandral's [[DanceBattler 'dance']].
* MySkullRunnethOver: Risked this when she used a remote Cerebro uplink to bluff the Shadow King.
* NiceGirl: Is very sweet to both Harry and Ginny, helping them through their respective problems.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Fandral states that she used her powers so she'd know exactly what he'd like in bed. She also later hints at this to Harry, suggesting that one day he'll be able to use his powers to make some nice girl ''very'' happy.
* PsychicPowers: She's a powerful psychic, one of the strongest on the planet.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her psychic powers glow purple (and form butterfly patterns on her face) when she uses them.
* ReallyGetsAround: Her friend suggests that she subscribes to the love them and leave them school of relationships. WordOfGod notes that she turned 'a lot more [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Faith-like]]' than he'd expected.
* ReluctantHero: Zig-Zagged. While she pretty quickly joins [=MI13=], her POV section has her inwardly complaining that fighting monsters is really not her thing.
* SiblingYinYang: Betsy's brother Brian is, according to Albus Dumbledore, a genius, and according to Betsy, noble, compassionate and good-hearted, but equally, is deeply rule abiding, is a little holier than thou and has a large stick up his arse. While Betsy is smart, also compassionate and good hearted (jury's still out on the noble), she's neither rule abiding, holier than thou or possessed of a stick up her arse [[ReallyGetsAround (well. It depends on the kind of stick).]]
* SpoiledSweet: Rich, privileged, brave and heroic.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: WordOfGod says that he hadn't originally intended to introduce her anywhere near as early as he did.
* {{Troll}}: The second time she drops the ModestyTowel in front of Wisdom (the first time being to get his measure since she couldn't read his mind) is just to annoy him.
* TheUnfavourite: Some of her dialogue implies this. Chapter 68 makes it fairly explicit.
* VerbalTic: Calling people 'love'.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Purple, in her case. It's dyed.

!!Sir Dane Whitman a.k.a the Black Knight

The teenage heir to the Black Knight legacy. A spectacularly talented swordsman who is perhaps a tad overconfident and a recruit for Peter Wisdom's Excalibur team.

* {{Badass}}: He's overconfident to be sure (until a near death experience knocks it out of him), but he most definitely knows how to fight.
* BlackKnight: A DarkIsNotEvil variant. Or, to be more specific, he's not evil, but his sword is very evil.
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: Though 'more effective' might be [[EvilWeapon a more accurate turn of phrase...]]
* BloodKnight: In battle, thanks to his EvilWeapon.
* CoolSword: Evil, but cool.
* TheChick: To Excalibur, being the youngest and least experienced member.
* EvilWeapon: His sword.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: Trails around after [[HotAmazon Jessica]] [[SpyCatsuit Drew]], to the amusement of his older colleagues.
* KidSamurai: Fits this trope perfectly, and only survives his first battle because of literal divine intervention.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: A literal example - he asks Michael Carpenter for his autograph. It should be noted that he's injured and high on endorphins at the time.
* MasterSwordsman: Not on Sif or Fandral's level, but he's very good.

!!Albus Dumbledore

The Headmaster of Hogwarts, who has adjusted rather quickly to the altered status quo. A truly brilliant man, and one with many regrets.
----

* TheArchMage: A classic example.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Deduces the origins of [[spoiler: the HYDRA magical troops attacking him in chapter 70]] by their casting styles.
* {{Badass}}: Aside from his canon reputation, he mentions taking on groups such as [[OurVampiresAreDifferent the White Court, the Black Court]] (implying that he had something to do with the ending of its more powerful members) and the Hellfire Club. And then, well... it takes a truly colossal set of balls to [[spoiler: stare down the Phoenix Force and ask Her to spare the girl who the Clan Akkaba had summoned Her into before being incinerated for their impertinence. Even though he had no idea what She was, he knew exactly how powerful She was and that She could incinerate him with a stray thought. Yet he still begged for Her to show mercy and out of regard for him, she did so.]] It is implied that this act of courage and nobility impressed [[spoiler: the Phoenix enough - and she was already pretty favourably disposed to him - that She dispatched Fawkes to be Dumbledore's companion]].
** And he does it ''again'' in chapter 71 when he basically tells [[spoiler: the Phoenix]] to cut the bullshit and tell him exactly why she's interested in Harry, knowing full well what she's capable of and that if she wants to wipe him off the face of the Earth, she could do it with a stray thought. And she ''does''. Albus Dumbledore officially gives no fucks.
* BadassGrandpa: The years have far from diminished him, to the point where, in chapter 70, he can [[spoiler: fight off four of HYDRA's best wizards, specifically sent to deal with him, while musing on the bitter irony that he's encouraged muggle and magical co-operation all his life and here it is, and that he's flattered by the fact they felt the need to deploy four wizards solely to defeat him. He also [[AwesomenessByAnalysis notes their capabilities and identifies their backgrounds by their styles]], finding their confidence refreshing and also noting that while they might have caused him 'some slight bother' outside of [[GeniusLoci Hogwarts]], they don't stand a chance.]] Cue CurbstompBattle.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: In a subtle way, one that possibly even he isn't aware of: he fought alongside Captain America and the Howling Commandos against Grindelwald and HYDRA, Charles Xavier mentions him as something of a mentor in the art of teaching of young superhumans and [[spoiler: his entreaty of the Phoenix for mercy eventually led to the birth of Piotr and Ilyana Rasputin, a.k.a. Colossus and Magik]].
* BigGood: For the Wizarding World.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Surprisingly enough, with Sean Cassidy - both are powerful [[TheObiWan mentor]] [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure figures]], each with a DarkAndTroubledPast that they remain cheerful because/in spite of, a FatalFlaw that they are careful to control, a bucket load of regrets, a somewhat damaged protégé who is afraid of using his full power and they are both absolutely terrifying when their respective {{Berserk Button}}s are pushed. It is perhaps because of this that they get on rather well.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Like his canon counterpart, though somewhat toned down by the seriousness of the situation.
* CoolOldGuy: Whether you like him or not, you can't deny, he's got style.
* CurbStompBattle: Hands one out almost absent-mindedly in chapter 70 to [[spoiler: four HYDRA wizards who had specifically targeted him]].
* FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}, which is part of the reason that he keeps himself far away from political power.
* TheFettered: Has made himself this because he's perfectly aware of what he could become.
* TheLeader: When he speaks, people listen. When he commands, people obey. He has all the qualities that mark a great leader, which is noted approvingly by Sean Cassidy.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: with Sean Cassidy.
* LongLived: Well over a century old.
* MagnificentBastard: Not one of the more notable ones, but he's very capable indeed.
* MotiveRant: Gives a bitter one in chapter 46 which he illustrates to Thor exactly why he is very careful to confine himself to the position of Headmaster and his frustrations with the MedievalStasis of the Wizarding World which is discreetly enforced by the Ministry.
* NervesOfSteel: Is completely unfazed by Loki's not so veiled threat that if his schemes lead to Thor or Harry being hurt, there will be a reckoning.
** Takes it UpToEleven during his encounters with [[spoiler: the Phoenix]], on the second occasion demanding (quite politely, but still demanding) that she cut the bullshit, despite knowing that she could atomise him with an idle thought.
* TheObiWan: A bit less than his canon counterpart, since Harry has plenty of other mentor figures, but still present.
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Quite enjoys employing this against Cornelius Fudge.
* PsychicPowers: He is a powerful Legilimens.
* SelfDeprecation: Freely admits his limitations.
* {{Troll}}: As noted under PassiveAggressiveKombat, he particularly enjoys screwing with Fudge, even considering hiring [[TheDreaded Harry Dresden]] simply to mess with the man. He's also happy to mess with Thor.
* TheSpymaster: It's hinted that he has sources in the non-magical intelligence agencies, judging by how well he knows their inner workings.
* SuperIntelligence: Perhaps not quite superhuman, but he is genuinely brilliant, being a leading scholar in a number of magical fields, with a working knowledge of cutting edge muggle science.

!!Sir Michael Carpenter

A Knight of the Cross and wielder of ''Amoracchius'', the Sword of Love, better known as Excalibur. A carpenter in his day job and devoted family man, he's a devout Catholic (but not a dogmatist) and a KnightInShiningArmour.

* ActionDad: Father of a large family/small clan.
* {{Badass}}: There is a reason that Harry Dresden calls him 'the Fist of God'.
* BadassCape: Wears a white one, embroidered with a red cross.
* BigDamnHeroes: Arrives in the nick of time to save Dane Whitman.
* TheCape: He even wears one. It is suitably [[BadassCape badass]].
* ChurchMilitant: A nice version.
* CoolSword: The archetypal example: it's freaking ''Excalibur''.
* CurbstompBattle: Takes on the undead warrior that beat Dane to a pulp and destroys it in three moves.
* FlamingSword: ''Amoracchius'' burns with white flames.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He is kindly, friendly and forgiving. He'll give even undead abominations a chance to surrender (though in this context, it just means die quickly). However, if you face him on the battlefield and turn down his offer of your own free will, he will give no quarter.
* KnightInShiningArmour: A very literal example.
* ManInWhite: His cloak and surcoat are broadly white.
* OneManArmy: As part of the StrongAsTheyNeedToBe thing the Knights have.
* OneSceneWonder: Only appears in one scene in chapter 44, but it's enough to make quite the impression.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: "In the name of Almighty God, step away from that boy."
* RedBaron: He's also known as 'the Fist of God'.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: A total badass by himself, but like the other knights, he gets stronger in proportion to the threat faced.


!!M

Head of MI6, one of the few survivors of Gravemoss' attack on its headquarters. Currently tracking down the 'mysterious force' that discouraged investigation of the Dursley family and messed with Mrs Figg's mind to keep the extent of Harry's mistreatment secret.
----

* CoolOldLady: Is more than a match for Nick Fury, who quite comfortably dominates a room full of his fellow intelligence chiefs.
* GoodIsNotNice: Cold, sharp and not the sort to suffer fools. Also verbally twists the knife a little during her interrogation of Petunia.
* IronLady: Is tough as nails.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Suggested to hold this attitude, with the thing that infuriates her the most about Harry's abuse by the Dursleys after the abuse itself is the damage it did to Britain's reputation.
* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers a short and brutal one to Petunia.
* TheUnsolvedMystery: Digs into one of these - though 'uninvestigated' might be a better way to put it - at Fury's request. Complies because, as she puts it, she has little better to do.

!!Jean Grey

''The'' SignificantGreenEyedRedhead and [[PsychicPowers Omega Class Psychic]] - though she's not one of the few people who knows how powerful she is/will be. [[spoiler: Also Harry's second cousin and protected him from Dudley when her family came to visit when Harry was seven. Thanks to Sinister's intervention, she, Harry and their families forgot this and they never saw each other again, but recent events suggest that the block is wearing off]].

* AngerBornOfWorry: A mild variant is seen when she scolds Scott for slipping on the stairs. She'd probably have been considerably angrier if she knew he'd been [[DistractedByTheSexy distracted by her butt]].
* BigSisterInstinct: [[spoiler: Harry suggests that when they met, she protected him from Dudley.]]
* CoolBigSis: Described in an A/N as basically being this to the world.
* FieryRedhead: While this hasn't been seen, she has an explosive temper. [[spoiler: It's noted as being InTheBlood and shared by Harry and Lily]].
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Seems to be this, judging by the way that Dresden notes she spoiled his dog, Mouse.
* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Dresden implies that Jean could probably make most young men do what she wanted without recourse to her psychic powers because of this, something that goes double for Scott because of his [[AllLoveIsUnrequited unrequited love for her.]]
* InTheBlood: Red hair and green eyes run in the family. [[spoiler: So do psychic powers, it seems, with Harry inheriting them from his mother, whose aunt was Jean's grandmother. Sean mentally notes that she and Harry also seem to share a taste for revenge]].
* JustFriends: States this of herself and the hopelessly devoted Scott.
* MindOverMatter: One of her powers. [[MundaneUtility She uses it for carrying luggage]].
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: [[spoiler: Senses Harry being possessed by the Phoenix, which briefly reacts with her own connection to it.]]
* NiceGirl: Everyone who knows her (except Warren, her ex-boyfriend), mentions her as this, and her brief appearance suggests that it's true.
* ObliviousToLove: Her appearance makes it extremely obvious that she doesn't have the faintest idea how badly Scott is in love with her. Xavier wonders how it's even possible for a girl who is both very smart and on-course to be the most powerful psychic on Earth can miss something so obvious.
* PsychicPowers: Practically the poster child for them and on course to, eventually, be the most powerful psychic on Earth. Her psychic outburst of distress at the age of ''six'' was felt all around the world.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedHead: As per usual, and for many of the same reasons.
* {{Telepathy}}: Another of her powers.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Lucius Malfoy is visibly shocked by how much she looks like [[spoiler: Lily Potter. Later subverted, as while there's a definite resemblance, Lucius never really knew Lily all that well and overstated the resemblance. Sean, meanwhile, is loudly shocked when he sees Harry's eyes, which look exactly like Lily's and by extension, Jean's.]]

!!Bruce Wayne

The teenage heir to Wayne Enterprises and fearsomely intelligent apprentice to Harry Dresden. While he has no magic of his own, his intellect, gift for investigation and knowledge of magical theory more than make up for it. WordOfGod claims that he isn't going to be Batman, a trait that has been treated with scepticism.
----
[[hardline]]

* TheAce: He's a highly skilled hand to hand combatant, extremely talented investigator and expert on magical theory.
* AmazonChaser: In terms of his crush on Murphy, his terrifying tiny martial arts teacher, one respect in which he is very like his canon counterpart.
* {{Badass}}: [[spoiler: Bisects the Mabdhara by ramming it with the Tumbler and firing the demolition charges.]]
** BadassNormal: Doesn't have any powers. And as far as he's concerned, he doesn't need them either.
* CarFu: [[spoiler: Deploys the Tumbler to excellent effect.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Usually at Dresden's expense.
* HotForTeacher: Dresden observes that he's got a crush on [[PintSizedPowerHouse Karrin Murphy]], his martial arts teacher.
* InHarmsWay: Seems to like putting himself in this, partly because he's an adrenaline junkie, partly, as Wanda observes, because he doesn't really know how bad it can get and thinks its a grand adventure and partly, it is implied, as marker of the KnightErrant that he will become.
* LighterAndSofter: Is considerably more sane than his canon counterpart due to the fact that his parents, thanks to Harry Dresden, are alive. Because of this, WordOfGod has insisted (somewhat unconvincingly) that he isn't going to be Batman.
* SarcasticDevotee: To Dresden, though it is shown that he always listens to Dresden when it matters and wants his approval.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Getting this way.
* TeenGenius: Invented a method for shielding technology from magical disruption, something previously only achieved by SHIELD and Tony Stark. Admittedly, it took him years and Stark about 15 minutes, but it's still really impressive.

!!Erik Lehsherr a.k.a. Magneto

Father to Wanda Maximoff, FriendlyEnemy to Charles Xavier, and leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants. He has yet to make an appearance but he casts a significant shadow over events.
----
[[hardline]]

* AntagonisticOffspring: Wanda really does not like him and is sceptical of his HeelFaceTurn, having apparently gone up against him.
* ArchEnemy: His chief sparring partner was [[spoiler: Alan Scott a.k.a. the Green Lantern]].
* {{Badass}}: His achievements include:
** Purging three successive Inner Circles of [[AncientConspiracy the Hellfire Club]], the third one (after the deaths of Howard and Maria Stark, Howard being one of the few humans Erik ever considered to be a friend) being most thorough, according to Xavier. Sean Cassidy later described his own anger, though considerable, to be a firecracker next to the atom bomb of Erik's rage.
** Working as a NaziHunter for over four decades.
** Fighting Lord Voldemort when they were both young and forcing him to flee.
* BadassFamily: His daughter is Wanda Maximoff and his son, Pietro a.k.a. Quicksilver, has also been alluded to (according to Wanda, he's her teenage half brother and a brat). Also, there's [[spoiler: Hermione, Wanda's daughter]].
* DisappearedDad: Honestly believed that Wanda was dead. [[spoiler: May not even have realised that Lorna existed.]]
* TheDreaded: Almost everyone on the Dark Side from Sebastian Shaw II to HYDRA (yes, all of it), to Narcissa Malfoy fear him. Even Loki and Nick Fury speak about him with respect, the latter saying that "HYDRA wouldn't cross him. They wouldn't ''dare.''"
* TheGhost: By chapter 72, there's only been a teeny tiny indirect hint of his on-screen presence.
* HeelRealisation / HeelFaceTurn: Had one of these/pulled one of these some time in the late eighties/early nineties after he realised how far he'd fallen.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: He is commonly cited as an example how a good person fighting evil can go bad, though he has reportedly mellowed in recent years - something [[AntagonisticOffspring Wanda]] treats with scepticism.
* MagnetismManipulation: His main power.
* NaziHunter: A truly effective and prolific one, and according to Moody, didn't merely restrict himself to mundane Nazis.
* PersonOfMassDestruction
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Wants to protect mutants from humans who would exploit them and doesn't believe that mutants and humans can live in peace. These days, however, he's more interested in separatism than domination.

!![[spoiler: The Phoenix]]

One of the most powerful entities in the universe with a proclivity for pyromania on a cosmic scale and a fondness for humanity, [[spoiler: Harry in particular]].

----
[[hardline]]

* BringMyBrownPants: The instant reaction to anyone realising she is involved.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler: Is also Destruction of the Endless; Destruction's canon persona is explained as a former Host.]]
* CosmicEntity: One of the strongest of them all.
* TheDreaded: Good guys and bad guys alike are absolutely terrified of her. Even the ''Darkhold'' is frightened, scared witless by a mere ''whisper'' of her power. Loki's reaction is basically GodHelpUsAll, carrying extra punch since it's delivered by an actual PhysicalGod.
* TheGhost: Has appeared on-screen several times... probably. It's quite hard to separate her from [[spoiler: her protection on Harry and the shade of Lily Potter.]] The only definitive examples are chapters 56, 58 and 71. The former is a flashback and a brief intervention, the second is a touch ambiguous and the third [[spoiler: is a fully fledged rampage]] followed by an extended conversation with Dumbledore.
* KillItWithFire: To everything from Dementors to planets.
* KryptoniteFactor: To Dementors and dark things in general.
* RealityWarper: As Dumbledore remarks, she displays 'absolute command over the powers of life and death' and when [[spoiler: she resurrects and possesses Harry, she doesn't get him to stand up or telekinetically lift him up, she rearranges reality around him so that he's standing up.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Even revealing her identity provides a significant clue to much of the plot.

[[/folder]]


[[folder: Villains]]

!!Lucius Malfoy

Pureblood Lord, formerly one of the IdleRich after Voldemort's fall. Thor's reveal that he'd once been James Potter and consequent reclamation of his son spurs him into action and to become TheSpymaster and DiabolicalMastermind that he once was. But this time, he's operating on a much larger scale...
----
[[hardline]]

* AffablyEvil: Wanders the line between this and FauxAffablyEvil. He doesn't really do things ForTheEvulz, and he does have [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards]]. What he is, however, is thoroughly sociopathic.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Or, at least, is ambitious and evil.
* ArchNemesis: He and Fury are each other's.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Completely.
* TheChessmaster: He is an excellent schemer.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Trusting him is a very bad idea. With the exception of wife and son, he only really cares about himself.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Displays this in general, usually avoiding holding the VillainBall. For instance, he figures out that [[spoiler: the Winter Soldier has turned]] and correctly assumes that [[spoiler: he has passed on details of HYDRA's base location - secrecy having been their chief advantage - and immediately moves to nullify the Avengers]]. His pre-emptive [[spoiler: move to fund Lorna Dane's home and education so he can simultaneously threaten Magneto with a ShameIfSomethingHappened and/or paint HYDRA to Lorna as her benefactors, making Magneto the bad guy if he tried to intervene]] is lauded in-universe as brilliant.
* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: Ultimately is out for this.
* DiabolicalMastermind: Prefers moving the various pieces of his plans from the shadows, leaving multiple ways out and leaving others to take the fall. He's very, very good at it.
* DragonAscendant: In respect to Voldemort after the fall of the Death Eaters and [[spoiler: his ascent to command of HYDRA]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He does seem to genuinely love his wife and son, and a large part of the reason that [[spoiler: he kills Von Strucker is that the man went after his wife.]] Of course, he didn't know that [[spoiler: she was talking to SHIELD, trying to get protection for herself and her family, which Von Strucker saw as betrayal]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He was horrified by pretty much everything that Gravemoss did in chapter 21.
* EvilChancellor: He was this to Voldemort, with a touch of TheStarscream but generally content to remain TheManBehindTheMan, and recognises Baron Zemo as a man of the same stripe.
* EvilCripple: For a given value of cripple.
* EvilGenius: He was this to Voldemort (who was something of an EvilGenius himself), handling the everyday details.
* EvilOverlord: As of chapter 70, steadily accelerating towards this trope. [[spoiler: As of the end of chapter 74, he essentially is this.]]
* EvilOverlordList: Reviewers occasionally ask if he's read it. The answer is no, but he could apparently write a credible version - though he isn't immune to some of the follies warned against.
* EvilVirtues: ''Ambition''. He has it in spades.
* FatalFlaw: As Von Strucker observes, he will never take the straightforward course of action if he can take a complex one that avoids him being placed in danger, and he will never fully commit.
** His arrogance might also be this.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Perfectly friendly and charming when it suits him, if you ignore the arrogance. He's just vaguely sociopathic and doesn't really acknowledge the existence of those he considers beneath him.
* FictionFiveHundred: He is hinted to be as rich, if not richer, than the Potters, putting him well into the billionaire bracket.
* {{Foil}}: Serves as this to Nick Fury. He's a crippled aristocrat [[SocialDarwinist seeking to ensure the dominance of the strong (usually but not invariably comprising of superpowered people)]] over the rest who never does his own dirty work if he can avoid it (but that doesn't mean he can't fight if he has to) and, ultimately, to secure a better future for his family, while Fury is a sort of crippled (he's missing an eye) former soldier and man of action who came from a fairly ordinary family who's out for revenge on Lucius and is seeking to ensure that the weak are protected by and from the strong, to secure a better future for mankind as a whole. Both are cold, ruthless pragmatists.
** Also to Peter Wisdom. Both are [[spoiler: the sons of ancient pureblood lineages, both joined the Death Eaters]], ruthless, [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] [[TheSpyMaster spymasters]] before realising the value of MugglePower and eventually turning against Voldemort and abandoning the ideals of pureblood superiority. The only differences are that Lucius is a ruthless SocialDarwinist who's only out to benefit himself and his family and he only turned away from the Death Eaters after Voldemort fell and Pureblood ideals after he joined HYDRA.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Once, he was simply a powerful Pureblood Lord and part of the Death Eater Inner Circle, before becoming one of the IdleRich. Not quite a nobody, but limited in his influence. Then, he arranged a powerful alliance between the Death Eaters, HYDRA and Gravemoss, acquiring the Darkhold for the latter. In chapter 50 [[spoiler: he disposes of Baron Von Strucker, takes control of the Winter Soldier and with him, HYDRA]], and his actions have global consequences. As of chapter 74 [[spoiler: he's effectively the ruler of planet Earth. This status is temporary, but remarkable.]]
* GeniusCripple: Walks with a limp - which means that he actually needs his ClassyCane - courtesy of Nick Fury. It is implied that he suffered further damage in that fight, thanks to Fury leaving him to burn to death.
* GentlemanWizard: Fits this trope, despite being evil.
* HandicappedBadass: He doesn't like fighting, but that doesn't mean that he can't.
* IdleRich: After the fall of Voldemort. Swiftly discards this once he [[TookALevelInBadass retakes his levels in badass]].
* LeanAndMean: He is tall and lean and very, very mean.
* KlingonPromotion: Exploits this [[spoiler: in chapter 51 to become head of HYDRA]].
* MagnificentBastard: One of the best in the setting. Still miles behind Doctor Strange.
* ManipulativeBastard: See above.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Very much so, and complains that one of the problems of going to be debriefed by Gravemoss is that the [[NoodleIncident last time he did that, he never got the stains out of his robe.]]
* ThePlan: As it turns out [[spoiler: all of his actions in the fic have been leading to the point where he is indisputably in charge of HYDRA, controlling the Winter Soldier and with enough financial firepower to do pretty much whatever the hell he likes]].
* TheSocialDarwinist: By chapter 59, he has discarded, or rather, modified, his previous belief in Pureblood superiority to take into account superhumans and groups like HYDRA. Now, he still believes that only the strong and superior should rule, he's just altered his definition of who qualifies.
* TheSociopath: Possibly. While he does seem to love his family, he ticks every other box for this trope.
* TheSpymaster: Served as this to Voldemort, and was good enough to outmatch a young Nick Fury. That said, he had both a head start and a considerable resource advantage.
* TookALevelInBadass: As compared to his canon counterpart. While he, at first, appears as if he's going to be something of a joke villain, this was discarded as part of the change in tone around chapter 11 and he quite quickly evolves into one of the most dangerous characters in the entire setting. Not bad, considering that he's only actually used his wand once on-screen.
* VillainRespect: To Arthur Weasley, weirdly enough, when he realises how effective muggle tech is, complimenting Arthur on realising this before everyone else and having the good sense to take a job with Tony Stark where he'll be respected and well paid. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, Arthur doesn't live for very long afterwards.]]
** Usually to Nick Fury. He despises the man, but respects him.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: In his own mind, at least.
* WickedCultured: He's a man of wealth and taste.
* WorthyOpponent: Considers Nick Fury to be this. Hates his guts, mind you, but respects his abilities.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: One of the reasons that he hates Fury is that the other man somehow managed to damage his leg so thoroughly that even magical medicine couldn't entirely repair it. And there's implied to be something else that happened to him that night, after Fury left him to die in the flames of Malfoy Manor.
* XanatosSpeedChess: He is very good at turning an adverse situation to his advantage as chapters 22 and 50 demonstrate.
* YouAreACreditToYourRace: He has this attitude, mixed with a sizeable dose of pure hatred, towards [[ArchNemesis Nick Fury.]] Minus the hatred, he holds this towards Baron Zemo and Doctor Zola. Also, to an extent towards Muggles in general, admiring some of their technology. He used to hold this attitude towards Baron Von Strucker, but later changed his mind. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness This did not end well for the Baron]].
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He absolutely loves this trope.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: For all his evil, he has standards. [[OmnicidalManiac Gravemoss]] [[AxeCrazy doesn't.]]

!![[spoiler: The Winter Soldier]] a.k.a. [[spoiler: James Buchanan 'Bucky' Barnes]].

[[TheDreaded The single most feared assassin in the world]], whose reputation extends even to the rest of the Nine Realms. Created by the Red Room and currently in the control of HYDRA [[spoiler: he's actually Captain America's best friend, mind-wiped and brainwashed into a monster.]]

----
[[hardline]]

* ArtificialLimbs: [[spoiler: He has a robotic arm]].
* {{Badass}}: One of the biggest ones in the setting.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Usually by killing someone.
* ColdSniper: One of the deadliest in the known universe.
* CombatPragmatist: He is an extremely skilled sniper and an accomplished bomb maker, and he'll tap into both skill sets if it's more suitable than close range combat.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: It doesn't get much more dark and troubled than this.
* DeadpanSnarker: His internal dialogue has flavours of this.
* TheDreaded: He is this in-universe and [[HeroKiller with good reason]].
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Only a few notches above baseline humanity.
* FaceHeelTurn: Decades ago [[spoiler: via brainwashing]].
* FriendToAllChildren: One of the very few constants is that he never, ever harms a child if he can possibly avoid it, and the Red Room quickly realised that ordering him to do so was an exercise in futility, as he would just employ some fairly spectacular LoopholeAbuse to avoid it. [[spoiler: This tendency triggers his HeelFaceTurn in chapter 60]].
** Shows this when he [[spoiler: ruffles Diana's hair after she gives him a hug]].
* GeniusBruiser: He's a SuperSoldier and a Super Spy. It kind of comes with the territory.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: His can look through the EM spectrum, at least.
* TheHeavy: He does HYDRA's fieldwork.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: In chapter 60, once he gets his mind back]].
** HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler: Only to be re-brainwashed by HYDRA in Chapter 74.]]
* HeroKiller: He's racked up quite the tally.
* MageKiller: Unlike most examples, he's not specifically designed for this, but as two squadrons of Europe's best Aurors found in 1973 [[spoiler: and at least twenty wizards, including several Aurors and Arthur Weasley found out]], he's very good at it.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: A classic example. [[spoiler: Ultimately subverted, however. He's a victim of brainwashing, who steadily regains control of his mind and body.]]
* MercyKill: Delivers one via NeckSnap to [[spoiler: Arthur Weasley]], in order to spare him being tortured by HYDRA, or worse, being handed off to Gravemoss.
* TheMole:[[spoiler: Is this to Lucius Malfoy's HYDRA as of Chapter 61]].
* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: [[spoiler: A fairly textbook example, except he's not actually Russian]].
* PrecisionFStrike: [[spoiler:When he finally gets his mind back.]]
** And then another one he realizes he's facing down an angry Wolverine.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: About ninety years old. He really does not look it.
* SilentAntagonist: See TheVoiceless.
* SovietSuperScience: A product of it.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Very much has this vibe.
* SuperSoldier: One of the few successful examples.
* TheVoiceless: Can't speak because he hasn't been ordered to. Can, however, communicate just fine when he wants to.
* [[spoiler: WhamLine: He finally speaks in chapter 67]]
* WouldntHurtAChild: One of the few things that shows he's actually a man, not a machine, taking it to FriendToAllChildren levels.

!!Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker

The leader of HYDRA, and former ally of Lucius Malfoy. Is all too eager to renew that alliance in order to take advantage of the world's changing status quo and ensure [=HYDRA's=] dominance. In retrospect, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness this was a bad idea.]]
----
[[hardline]]

* AristocratsAreEvil
* ArtifactOfDoom: Possesses the Satan Claw, which allows him to drain the lifeforce of others, enabling him to maintain his own life. Unfortunately for him, Nick Fury is CrazyPrepared [[spoiler: and sent a remote controlled LMD into the field instead]].
* GeneralFailure: Is easily outclassed and OutGambitted in the field by Fury.
* LongLived: Was in his prime during World War II, and is still at it, thanks to the Satan Claw.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: He's actually quite competent, enough that [[MadScientist Zola]] and [[EvilChancellor Baron]] [[IFightForTheStrongestSide Zemo]] tolerate his command. Unfortunately, he's not in the same class as either Fury or Lucius.
* SmugSnake: He's reasonably competent, and is sharp enough to notice the pattern of Zemo's [[IFightForTheStrongestSide loyalty]], but he's nowhere near as good as he thinks he is, getting the better of Lucius a grand total of once. And when Lucius [[LetsGetDangerous gets serious]], the disparity in their abilities becomes very obvious.
* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Is the [=13th=] Baron Von Strucker. [[spoiler: Things don't end well for him.]]
* ThoseWackyNazis: Has been one since their glory days.
* VillainousFriendship: Subverted. He appears at first to be close friends with Lucius, but it soon becomes apparent that they're each only using each other to achieve their own ends. [[spoiler: And unfortunately, Lucius is better at it than he is.]]
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Is on the receiving end of this from Lucius.]]

!!Gravemoss

A Light Elf {{Necromancer}}, banished long ago from his realm for his use of black magic. Now in the employ of HYDRA, though it's clearly only for as long as it pleases him, and everyone else in the organization is scared stiff of him. Current possessor of the Darkhold (though which is possessing which is a good question)
----
[[hardline]]

* AdmiringTheAbomination: Practically squees when the Winter Soldier shows up.
* AncientEvil: He's about 1500 years old, so qualifies as one by himself.
* BasementDweller: From one point of view, he's a classic nerd squatting in a friend's basement. From another, he's also an [[HumanoidAbomination abomination]] into whose lair only the very unfortunate and the very stupid dare go.
* BlackComedy: A master of doing this via unintentional pop-culture references.
* DirtyCoward: Per WordOfGod, this is why he never directly fights the Avengers unless it's with a sucker punch he's sure will work.
* TheDreaded: Is feared by everyone.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Had a comfortable lair in the Paris catacombs, until the battle with SHIELD and Dresden forced him to evacuate.
** Since then, he's been [[BasementDweller living in the basement]] of [=HYDRA's=] own underground base.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: His are very, ''very'' low, but they're there. Even he thinks that unleashing the full power of the Darkhold, and thus [[EldritchAbomination Cthon]], is insane.
* EvilAlbino
* EvilSorcerer: Specializing in all things relating to death.
* EvilerThanThou: Even HYDRA and the Death Eaters are afraid of, and disgusted by, him. The only exceptions are Doctor Zola, with whom he shares a VillainousFriendship, and possibly Baron Zemo, who doesn't seem all that bothered.
* ImmortalsFearDeath: His own. He loves the idea of everyone else's, but he's absolutely terrified when someone actually succeeds in hurting him, with [[spoiler: Dresden's Death Curse]] leaving him with an enduring fear of fear and the man in question, though that part is probably because [[spoiler: he has no idea how Dresden survived casting it.]]
** He's also terrified of [[spoiler: the Phoenix]], and with good reason.
* LightIsNotGood: Is a pale-skinned albino Light Elf. Is also pure evil.
* LongLived: Roughly 1500 years old.
* {{Necromancer}}
* OmnicidalManiac: Like Thanos (who it is implied he has served in the past), he wants to kill everyone. Whether he's in love with Death herself, though, is another matter entirely.
* PhysicalGod: Was arguably this already. Add the Darkhold, and he's bordering on full blown GodOfEvil.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: He notes that the Dementors won't feed on his memories, since they're too vile for them.
* VillainousFriendship: Gets along remarkably well with [[MadScientist Doctor Zola]], much to Lucius' concern.

!!Baron Helmut Zemo

A leader of HYDRA, and the organization's field commander. Has been described as both [=HYDRA's=] answer to Captain America, and along with Doctor Zola, the true brains behind the organization.
----
[[hardline]]

* AffablyEvil: Is unfailingly polite and will genuinely compliment and respect a WorthyOpponent.
* AristocratsAreEvil: It's ''Baron'' Zemo.
* {{Badass}}: Though he rarely shows it, he's really, really good at fighting - he took Greyback down in about one and half seconds and could easily have killed him.
** And when in control of Project Ultimatum, he took apart [[spoiler: the aged up Harry, Diana, Uhtred, Jean-Paul and Carol. That's the equivalent of taking down Superman/Thor, Wonder Woman, one of the Warriors Three, the Flash and Captain America, albeit stripped of most of their combat skills and experience.]] That is one ''hell'' of a feat.
** In chapter 70, he [[spoiler: kills King T'Chaka, a Black Panther with all the abilities that implies, albeit a touch dulled by age, and has T'Challa, who's in his prime, at his mercy, letting him live because he likes a challenge every now and then.]] And he barely even gets scratched.
* BloodKnight: At the very least, he's usually on the look-out for a WorthyOpponent.
* DeadpanSnarker: Occasionally.
* TheDreaded: Is rightfully feared for his combat skills.
* EnigmaticMinion: His true motives and true reasons for joining HYDRA (who killed his father) remain a mystery.
* EvilChancellor: Serves as such to Baron Von Strucker [[spoiler: and then to Lucius Malfoy]].
* EvilMentor: To his protégé, Jason Todd.
* EvilVirtues:
** ''Diligence'': Consistently described as efficient and hard-working.
** ''Humility'': Usually in the form of VillainRespect. He's got a bit of an ego, but he fully accepts the possibility of being beaten.
** ''Loyalty'': To HYDRA. [[IFightForTheStrongestSide Not, however, to the person leading it if they prove to be unworthy.]]
** ''Patience'': Tends to maintain a calm demeanour in fights, chapter 60 showing how he's perfectly content to let his opponent tire themselves out.
** ''[[VillainousValor Valour]]'': He doesn't run from fights, even with equals.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: Serves Strucker as long as he proves worthy of leading. [[spoiler: When Lucius assassinates him and takes over, Zemo is the first to pledge loyalty.]]
* LegacyCharacter: Is the second Baron Zemo. However, his father Heinrich is a subject of AdaptationalHeroism, being a German noble officer who was assassinated by the Red Skull for defying the Nazi regime, whereas Helmut is not only HYDRA but a leader of the organization.
* LightningBruiser: Very fast and when required, he hits very hard.
* LongLived: He's around seventy years old; he's been fighting since the seventies at least and he's still got the physique of a man in his prime.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: As per canon, the mask is stuck to his face. This makes it next to impossible to read his expression.
* MasterSwordsman: Tore through the then [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Lieutenant Lane's]] patrol in Grenada, 1983, in a matter of seconds, armed only with a sword. The only reason Lane survived was because he shot him [[OnlyAFleshWound which just seemed to annoy him]], slowing him down enough for support to arrive.
** Demonstrates the same skills to [[spoiler: kill T'Chaka and cripple T'Challa]] without taking more than a few scratches.
* MysteriousPast: No one knows all that much about his past or his motivations for joining HYDRA, something rendered particularly puzzling by the fact that they killed his father.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: He's a calm, quiet man who rarely wastes words and will simply get the job done with maximum efficiency.
* OnlyAFleshWound: A bullet in the shoulder is only sufficient to annoy him.
* PurpleIsPowerful: As befitting his place in HYDRA's aristocracy and his formidable skill set, he wears purple.
* TheStrategist: His role in HYDRA.
* SuperSoldier: It's not entirely clear how powerful he is, but he's up there. He's capable of flattening Greyback in less than two seconds, and Lucius notes that when it comes to it, he's fast enough to make a vampire blink. He also proves capable of [[spoiler: killing T'Chaka and overpowering T'Challa]] without getting more than a little out of breath.
* VillainRespect: Genuinely expresses admiration towards Harry for his effective IndyPloy.
** Is impressed by T'Challa's speed.
* WorthyOpponent: Why he spares [[spoiler: T'Challa]].

!!Doctor Arnim Zola

The Red Skull's former right-hand man, and the founder of the modern version of HYDRA, of which he is now a key member. A MadScientist of the highest order, nothing is too depraved for him.
----
[[hardline]]

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: Considers America hypocritical for deriding the Nazis for the genocides of various peoples, when they did the same to the Native American tribes. As far as he's concerned, at least the Nazis were ''efficient'' in what they did.
* BrainUploading: Did this decades ago, into a series of robots and mainframes.
* ForScience: The only justification he requires for doing anything.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: Like Zemo, will follow whoever leads HYDRA, so long as they're worthy of it. [[spoiler: After Lucius' coup, he's right behind Zemo in declaring loyalty.]]
* MadScientist: He's up there with Doctor Doom.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Will do anything to anyone for the sake of his experiments, and expanding [=HYDRA's=] power.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Lucius inwardly notes that he looks like a harmless little fellow who he [Lucius] would sneer at if he didn't know ''exactly'' how dangerous Zola really was.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: A master of everything from AI and robotics technology to high end genetic manipulation.
* {{Technopath}}: And a powerful one.
* VillainousFriendship: Gets along disturbingly well with Gravemoss.
** He also gets on fairly well with Zemo and Malfoy.

!!Alexander Pierce

Secretary of International Defence, liaison between SHIELD and the US government. Also secretly in charge of HYDRA's SHIELD division, those SHIELD Agents that are loyal to HYDRA.
----
[[hardline]]

* AffablyEvil: Perfectly friendly and polite at all times, to the point that even [[EvilDetectingDog Freki and Geri]] like him. Also one of HYDRA's two heads and fully onboard with their world domination ideology.
* BadassBureaucrat: He seems to be more of an administrator than anything else, yet he can get into HYDRA's hidden base with perfect ease - something that Lucius notes should be physically impossible - and he's completely unflappable.
* DeadpanSnarker: Just a bit.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Doesn't approve of experimenting on children. On the other hand, this could just be PragmaticVillainy.
* FriendToAllChildren: A dark subversion. He's charming, friendly and good with kids, but doesn't blink twice at the prospect of Harry's death, merely expressing mild regret.
* MagnificentBastard: He's sharp enough to keep up with Lucius, who treats him with a sort of wary respect.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Zig-zagged. As per canon, he had a hand in Fury's rise to the Directorship, which in this 'verse, was at an extraordinarily young age. On the other hand, as he points out in canon, Fury was the best man for the job and he wanted SHIELD to be the best it could be.
* PragmaticVillainy: His smacking down of Ross' attempt to get hold of Carol in chapter 61 to study the effects of the temporary mystical enhancement is probably this, considering his casual attitude to Harry's potential death and what happened last time the US government meddled in magic.
* SeenItAll: Zola's appearance through a computer screen doesn't even make him blink.
* SocialDarwinist: Judging by his agreement with Lucius' speech.
* TheSociopath: Has absolutely no problem with the prospect of having people, children, that he likes killed, treating it as the mildly regrettable cost of doing business.
* WouldHurtAChild: Doesn't seem particularly bothered by the prospect of Harry's demise, merely commenting that it's unfortunate, because he genuinely liked him.

!!Jason Todd

An Agent of HYDRA, one of their best, serving as Baron Zemo's protégé.
----
[[hardline]]

* AgeLift: In canon, he's the second Comicbook/{{Robin}}, and thus quite a lot younger than Batman. Here, he's several years older than Bruce, at least.
* {{Badass}}: He didn't become Zemo's protégé for his looks and Lucius inwardly notes that he's reminiscent of a BadassNormal version of the Winter Soldier.
** We finally get to see him in action in Chapter 70, when he matches [[Comicbook/{{Agent13}} Sharon Carter]] who [[spoiler: may have supersoldier genes]].
* CoolMask: His red balaclava, a palette swapped version of Zemo's own.
* MookLieutenant
* TheQuietOne: Even more than his master, to the point where Lucius compares him to the silent Winter Soldier

!!Daken

The son of Wolverine, he's one of HYDRA's top mercenaries.
----
[[hardline]]

* {{Badass}}: Is able to take on an [[LetsGetDangerous enraged]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction Harry]] in a one-on-one fight and [[spoiler: seemingly kills him]].
* BodyHorror: What [[spoiler: the Phoenix]] does to him isn't pretty.
* BullyingADragon: Tries to attack [[spoiler: Phoenix-possessed Harry]], and gets charbroiled for his efforts. It would have been worse, too, if [[spoiler: the Phoenix]] hadn't been intent on a fully fledged rampage.
* HealingFactor: Of course. Actually how, along with his claws, Dumbledore determines his parentage.
** It's strong enough that he survives [[spoiler: being incinerated by the Phoenix]], albeit not without difficulty.
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: Manages to, while briefly, kill Harry.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Does this to Harry. It doesn't stick.]]
* IShallTauntYou: Seems perfectly happen to wind Harry up. As it turns out, this was a calculated move [[spoiler: designed to get Harry to lose his temper and attack head on.]] It works perfectly. At first.
* ManipulativeBastard: See IShallTauntYou.
* OhCrap: Causes one in Dumbledore when the latter realises exactly what kind of person Harry is fighting.
* WolverineClaws: Again, an inherited trait.

!![[spoiler: Chthon]]

The ManBehindTheMan for Gravemoss by way of being the author of the Darkhold. He has yet to make much of an onscreen appearance, but the mere possibility of his presence makes everyone from [[TheArchMage Wanda]] to [[{{Badass}} Dresden]] to [[GodOfMagic Loki]] to [[GodOfEvil Gravemoss]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards himself]] have a BringMyBrownPants reaction.
----
[[hardline]]

* AncientEvil: Somewhere in the region of billions of years old.
* BringMyBrownPants: Inspires this reaction to the point OOCIsSeriousBusiness. Loki, calm, collected Loki, has a massive freak out when he hears that the Darkhold is on the loose. Dresden's reaction to [[spoiler: accidentally contacting Chthon via his Sight]] is prolonged trauma and some gibbering. Wanda's reaction to the previous is to go ice white and swear at length for quite some time. Gravemoss, meanwhile, is abjectly terrified of him and thinks that unleashing him is insane. Yes, the AxeCrazy OmnicidalManiac who freely admits that he's crazy thinks that unleashing him is insane.
* TheCorrupter: Being, apparently, the inspiration for Sauron (but about a million times worse) trying to do this to Gravemoss through the Darkhold, his One Ring equivalent. Yes, someone is trying to corrupt [[OmnicidalManiac Gravemoss]].
* EldritchAbomination: He's pretty much the biggest, baddest EldritchAbomination of them all.
* EldritchLocation: The place of his banishment untold millions of years ago, Mount Wundagore. To the present day, it's still the source one of the most powerful dark ley lines in Europe, which Voldemort tried to tap into, the night that Wanda Maximoff was born.
* GodOfEvil: God of Chaos, strictly speaking, though Wanda notes that some have argued that he's also the God of Black Magic.
* GreaterScopeVillain: HYDRA want to take over the world, at least, according to Lucius, to start with. [[OmnicidalManiac Gravemoss wants to kill everyone.]] His return would destroy the universe. Who knows where he'd go from there.
* SoulJar: The Darkhold. It's apparently 'a brother to Entropy' and completely indestructible.
* {{Superweight}}: At the very top of Type 6.
* WickedCultured: Has this vibe in his one and only speaking appearance in the series so far.

!!Lord Voldemort, aka Tom Marvolo Riddle

The Dark Lord who terrorized Britain for decades, Lucius' former master, and the man who killed Harry's parents (though James/Thor got better), before the infant Harry himself somehow turned his own Killing Curse back on him. NotQuiteDead ever since, he and Harry are bound by prophecy to face each other again.

----
[[hardline]]

* ArchEnemy: Harry's, both by prophecy and experience.
* BigBad: Subverted, for now. Given the circumstances, he's willing to sit back and observe the forces at play before making his next move.
* TheDreaded: Most of Wizarding Britain is too afraid to even say his ''name''.
* ForWantOfANail: Gets a new body a full year ahead of canon, thanks to [[spoiler: the mutant/god power stolen from Harry, and Wormtail's unwilling sacrifice.]]
* TheGhost: Is mentioned throughout the story, but doesn't show up until Chapter 68. And even then, he's mostly removed from the story.
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler: Pulls this on Wormtail.]]
* HandsomeDevil: Was quite the looker when he was younger, and before he started dividing his soul up. [[spoiler: After taking Wormtail's body, he alters it to look like his younger self.]]
* IAmHavingSoulPains: The result of [[spoiler: Betsy cutting the connection between him and Harry, resulting in what is described as a whole body migraine]]. He recovers pretty quickly, though.
* NotQuiteDead: Has been reduced to a spirit ever since infant Harry turned his Killing Curse back on him. [[spoiler: Regains a physical form by taking control of Wormtail's body by force and reshaping it to his needs.]]
* PowerParasite: [[spoiler: Has been using his PsychicLink with Harry to siphon off some of Harry's mutation- and Asgardian-based powers. Betsy cuts the link in Chapter 68, but he's already gained a significant amount.]]
* SoulJar: As per canon, his Horcruxes. Though between Harry and Wisdom, most of them have been destroyed.
* WalkingSpoiler: Due to the exact circumstances around his resurrection in this universe.

!!Doctor Victor Von Doom

Though he has yet to appear on-screen, his presence looms large over proceedings

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Harry and Friends]]

!!Harry Thorson né Potter

TheHero of the story, who discovers rather abruptly that his father wasn't just James Potter - he was Prince Thor of Asgard, member of the Avengers and all round awesome guy. Oh, and still alive. Obviously. The ramifications of this and his responses to those ramifications shape the story, such as his development into a fully fledged GuileHero.

* AcePilot: He is a natural at flying, even with a Quinjet, though somewhat [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] - he can fly a Quinjet once its in the air (according to [[Creator/NimbusLlewelyn the author]], flying planes once they're in the air is apparently remarkably easy) but he couldn't make it take off or land it, because that is much, much more complicated.
* {{Adorkable}}: One of his defining characteristics.
* AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: Downright terrified of it, especially once his psychic powers fully manifest, as he's perfectly aware of what he's capable of.
* AGodIAmNot: While he's aware that, technically speaking, he's a demigod, he's not entirely happy with the idea and is very uncomfortable with the idea of being worshipped.
* AllGenesAreCoDominant: Averted - he looks like his father (as James), eyes excepted, and he's got latent SuperStrength (and he's suggested to be close to as powerful as his father as a grown man) but he acts like his mother and his most obvious/immediately manifesting powers come from her.
* AllLovingHero: He is this, most of the time.
* AmazonChaser: He's not actually chasing yet, but whenever he expresses interest in a woman, she's almost invariably very {{Badass}}.
** It helps that about 90% of the women he meets are pretty {{Badass}} to start with.
* AttackAttackAttack: His strategy devolves into this once he really loses his rag.
* BadassBoast: Makes a couple in chapter 70 in the throes of TranquilFury that are truer than anyone, least of all him, realises. [[spoiler: While he suffers a DisneyDeath at the end of chapter 70, the Phoenix instantly resurrects him and goes on a rampage.]]
--> If there’s one thing I can guarantee, just one, it is this. You have never faced anything like me.
--> Because [[spoiler: Daken]], ''there is no power on this Earth that can stop me now!''
** Again in chapter 74 , combined with/as a short WorldOfCardboardSpeech.
--> [[Film/XMen You people and your guns.]] [[WorldOfCardboardSpeech Did you really think that they would protect you from]] ''[[WorldOfCardboardSpeech me]]''?
* BadassInDistress: Once or twice.
* BerserkButton: Don't hurt or threaten the innocent in his presence. Ever. And that goes double for one of his friends. If you do so, he will remind you that he is, in fact, a demigod and ''very'' [[PlayingWithFire good with fire]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's {{Adorkable}}, almost unfailingly kind to the downtrodden and ignored, simply disregards prejudices of all kinds and is unfailingly respectful and polite to those below him. He also, however, has a very nasty temper, an extreme intolerance for injustice and a distinct talent for wielding fire.
* BewareTheSuperman: He could quite easily go over the edge and become a WellIntentionedExtremist, and this is frequently quietly noted, with some comparing him to a young Magneto. A dark MotiveRant in chapter 61 about making people behave seems set to send him down this path, until [[spoiler: Diana]] cuts it off with an ArmourPiercingQuestion to the effect of 'and how would you be any different?' This brings the rant to juddering halt and he goes into a brief HeroicBSOD upon realising the path he nearly started on.
* BlessedWithSuck: See HybridPower. Also more generally, his new-found family and [[ReallyRoyaltyReveal rank]], while awesome, attracts trouble like nobody's business and sparks the renaissance of HYDRA, leading [[spoiler: to the deaths of Arthur Weasley and Luna Lovegood.]]
* BloodKnight: Reluctantly comes to realize that a large part of him ''enjoys'' being in life-or-death fights.
* BreakTheCutie: Elements of this appear in and just after chapter 60 when he and a number of his friends come very close to death, before developing still further afterwards, with Harry being terrified of his own (considerable) PsychicPowers as well as his intermittent SuperStrength. He recovers, though, under the tutelage of Betsy Braddock. Then chapter 70, in which [[spoiler: Luna, who he'd been particularly protective of, is killed and when he goes berserk, he himself is killed]] shatters him into little pieces. Is it any surprise that [[spoiler: when the Phoenix resurrects him, the immediate result is an extremely violent rampage?]]
** Chapter 74 breaks him even further.
* BulletDodgesYou: In chapter 71 [[spoiler: the Phoenix does this while in charge of his body, with magic and energy bolts as well as bullets.]] In chapter 74, he does it himself.
* BullyHunter: He is this, because he wants to protect people who can't protect themselves. However, it turns out to be a DeconstructedTrope, as it does more harm than good.
* BlueBlood: Very much so, on his dad's side. He's in direct line to the throne of Asgard, his great-grandmother was Zeus's Aunt and, also through his dad, [[spoiler: he may very distantly by related to the House of El]]. It has been explicitly stated that the relation, in the latter case, is either non-existent or so distant that it might as well be, but it's interesting nonetheless.
* CatchPhrase: ''Burn.'' Thankfully, it only shows up when some supernatural monster has jumped up and down on his BerserkButton.
* TheCallPutMeOnHold: He's the son of Thor, but he doesn't - yet - have the sort of powers that you might expect.
** After chapter 60, he [[TookALevelInBadass steps up and both gets some more powers and learns to control them]], to devastating effect in chapter 70, mowing through HYDRA troops like wheat. Pity that he then went up against ComicBook/{{Daken}}.
* ChestInsignia: The [[PlotRelevantAgeUp brief age up]] netted him some rather nice armour as well, including a [[spoiler: Phoenix symbol]] on his chest. It is explicitly mentioned that he can't tap into the entity that this symbol is usually connected with. Yet.
* TheChosenOne: He is this, often much to his irritation.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: If he see's someone in trouble, he'll immediately go over and help.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: As the Ravenclaw Quidditch team found out (for their part in the bullying of Luna Lovegood), he has a proclivity for these. It involved bludgers and a lot of DeadlyDodging.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: His plans are considered in-universe to be absolutely crazy, yet surprisingly effective.
* CreepyChild: At times, particularly to those who don't know him so well.
* CryIntoChest: Several times in chapter 72, [[BreakTheCutie with good reason]], first Wanda, then Thor, then Carol.
* CuddleBug: He has evolved into this, now that affection is freely given.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Very obliquely hinted at via references to a RagingStiffie.
* DeadpanSnarker: He started out as a StepfordSnarker, then developed into a straighter version of this in response to his colossally weird life.
* [[spoiler: DeathActivatedSuperpower: In chapter 71, the Phoenix resurrects him and goes on a rampage.]]
* DefenseMechanismSuperpower: His SuperStrength qualifies as might his PsychicPowers. Also, his mother's protection [[spoiler: a.k.a. the Phoenix Force]].
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: A complicated example, since his father was human when he was conceived, but he's now beginning to develop the usual godly powers.
* DestructiveSaviour: As of chapter 60, when [[spoiler: he blows a very large hole in a very large mountain]]. Thankfully, Loki fixed it.
** [[spoiler: While possessed by the Phoenix]] in chapter 71, he takes out most of the Great Hall and all of the Entrance Hall of Hogwarts fighting HYDRA.
* [[spoiler: DisneyDeath: He's killed by Daken at the end of Chapter 70, only to then be immediately resurrected by the Phoenix at the start of Chapter 71.]]
* DivineParentage: His father is Thor.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: He has SuperStrength, but it tends to switch on without warning whenever he's particularly stressed/angry. The worst this has done so far is crush a goblet, but Harry is not unreasonably rather worried about it.
* DotingGrandparent: Frigga. Odin, too, to a lesser extent, though he's gruffer and more stand off-ish by nature.
* ElementalPunch: Capable of the fire variant, as displayed in chapter 70. [[spoiler: It worked on everyone who didn't have a healing factor.]]
* EmotionalPowers: See PsychoActivePowers.
* EmotionSuppression: Life with the Dursleys taught him to do this, and a key part of his CharacterDevelopment is discarding this, becoming more open with his emotions and more assertive. Considering that he's got some powerful and difficult to control PsychoActivePowers, this is a mixed blessing.
* FictionFiveHundred: Thanks to the Potter vaults which, thanks to some smart investments by Thor's mortal father, Charlus Potter, including in Stark Industries (he met Howard during WWII and was favourably impressed), are conservatively estimated at £1.5 billion. He only reveals it to Hermione after casually mentioning that he could buy her a new laptop if she wanted. Otherwise, he's mostly vaguely embarrassed by it.
* FightsLikeANormal: Since, as demonstrated, powers don't always cut it. This is despite the fact that he develops a more than formidable array of ranged attacks. This tendency [[spoiler: gets him killed when he fights Daken.]]
* {{Fireballs}}: Capable of creating these, though he mostly plays with them. In a fight, he instead opts for columns of fire.
* FlyingBrick: Will be this, one day. Right now, however, he's a SquishyWizard.
* FullContactMagic: He is learning how to fight. He's still an amateur, but he's visibly improving. [[spoiler: He's not good enough to beat Daken, though.]]
* TheGlassesComeOff: Harry gets a kind of Asgardian eye surgery leading to him ditch his glasses. The reactions are broadly along the lines of HeIsAllGrownUp.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Following Chapter 44, along with the [[VoiceOfTheLegion strange double voice]] that crops up when gets angry. It usually means that something is about to be [[PlayingWithFire burned to a crisp]].
* GreenEyes: As per canon, and they're even more significant than usual [[spoiler: owing to the fact that Jean Grey is his second cousin and the repeated implications that his mother is a) not dead, b) in some way related to the Phoenix Force]].
* GuileHero: He doesn't (yet) have the raw power to just bulldoze his way through opponents, so he has to come up with something clever.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Naturally, as the son of Thor. Though, considering [[spoiler: the mysteries surrounding his mother, he may not even be half human to begin with]].
* HasAType: He seems to have a thing for an AmazonianBeauty. And [[EveryoneLovesBlondes blondes]], apparently.
** Though he isn't exclusively beholden to this, being noted as, at various points, checking out Pepper's ass, having speculative thoughts about Natasha, far from objecting to the MarshMallowHell that ensues from hugging Darcy (until he becomes too tall, anyway) and noticing (but not acting upon) Carol's good looks.
* HeinzHybrid: His father's an Asgardian who's one quarter [[Myth/GreekMythology Titan]] thanks to Bor marrying Theia, his mother was a witch and a latent mutant, and, to complicate matters further, while he was conceived his father was a human wizard, leaving him with three sets of biological grandparents and it's implied that the Asgardian side of the family intermarried with the House of El a very long way back (no one's quite sure). As it turns out, all this confluence of heritages really seems to succeed in doing is giving Harry a few PsychoActivePowers that, at best, he has limited control over and a major headache when it comes to trying to figure out his family tree.
* HeroicLineage: He's the son of Thor, it kind of comes with the territory.
* TheHero: Only to be expected.
* HopeBringer: Specifically name checked as this. [[spoiler: However, the flip side of this is that he could also become a terrifying DarkMessiah]].
* HotBlooded: As per canon, though it's more obvious because he's now being freer with his emotions.
* HotForTeacher: Develops a little bit of a crush on [[HotTeacher Betsy Braddock]].
* HormoneAddledTeenager: Just a bit, every now and then, developing as time passes.
* HumbleHero: Mostly, though he does become willing to pull rank to make the average {{Jerkass}} back off.
* {{Hunk}}: He will grow up to be this. Unsurprising, since he's been fancast as [[{{Series/Smallville}} Tom Welling]].
* HybridPower: On the face of it. Thanks to his parentage (James was Thor) not only will he have the advantage of being a living magical reactor that all Asgardians do and develop his father's SuperStrength, he's also a relative of Jean Grey on his mother's side and inherited the vast psychic powers which, on top of everything else, will be stronger in that he can channel more energy. While this seems set to drive him straight into MarySue territory, this is Harry we're talking about. There are caveats and really, it's more a case of BlessedWithSuck. The SuperStrength comes through only in intermittent bursts meaning that he lives in mortal fear of shaking someone's hand and [[{{Fingore}} squashing it]] or similar, the PsychicPowers come through violently, are dangerously uncontrollable for a good while, nearly getting him, Ron and Hermione killed and leave him open for [[spoiler: Voldemort]] to play PowerParasite, and WordOfGod says that he'll never be as strong as Jean is (on the other hand, as WordOfGod admits, this is not saying much)]] and he lacks the skills and abilities to use those powers effectively. Oh, and Doctor [=McCoy=] theorises that the steady altering of his body and brain chemistry by his Asgardian genes could mean that his PsychicPowers will eventually shortcircuit his brain.
* IGotBigger: He quotes the trope to a puzzled Hulk after the PlotRelevantAgeUp. It's temporary.
* IndyPloy: His hallmark, where plans are concerned, along with CrazyEnoughToWork.
* InHarmsWay: Tends to find trouble and as he reluctantly admits to himself, a considerable part of him actually ''enjoys'' the life or death fights he finds himself in.
* ItsAllMyFault: In chapter 72 he insistently blames himself for [[spoiler: Luna's]] death, accurately pointing out that he could have telepathically switched off the HYDRA assault force as soon as he sensed them, without even getting out of bed, but didn't because he was too squeamish. Carol concedes that this is true - the could have done it part - but points out that his warning and heavy involvement in driving HYDRA off saved pretty much everyone in the school and that he made the best call he could under the circumstances.
* JuniorCounterpart: In terms of mannerisms and personality, he reminds people intensely of his mother.
** And, at times, his father.
* KillItWithFire: ''[[UnstoppableRage Burn]].''
* LikesOlderWomen: He tends to be attracted to older (which is unsurprising, considering his age) and [[BuxomIsBetter better endowed]] women, such as Darcy and Betsy Braddock. Wanda also features in one alluded to daydream.
* TheLeader: A classic combination of Charismatic and Headstrong.
* MagicEnhancement: Undergoes this twice, though it's temporary on both occasions, when visiting Asgard and in chapter 59 [[spoiler: when the GeniusLoci of the Mountain gives him and a few others a PlotRelevantAgeUp]].
* MagneticHero: Partly natural, partly caused by [[spoiler: Wanda's blessing]].
* MaleGaze: Mostly down played, but he ''is'' a teenage boy. He is going to notice certain things.
* MindOverManners: Is extremely scrupulous about this and squeamish about using anything more than passive telepathy (picking up projected thoughts), partly because of privacy, partly because of what Riddle's Diary did to Ginny and partly because he's absolutely terrified (and not entirely without reason) that he could start on a slippery slope.
* MindOverMatter: Develops the ability to do this following chapter 60.
* MoralityChainBeyondTheGrave: [[spoiler: Luna]], invoked by Thor in the 'x wouldn't want this' way when [[spoiler: Harry attempts to use his telepathy to torment the Ravenclaws he blames for Luna's death.]]
* NiceGuy: Probably his defining trait.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: As the HYDRA troops find out in chapter 70. Unfortunately, ComicBook/{{Daken}} can [[HealingFactor take everything he dishes out]].
* PhysicalGod: One day, obviously.
* PillarsOfMoralCharacter: In some respects. He's unfailingly polite, respectful and kind to the dismissed and downtrodden, caring even (perhaps especially) when others don't. However, he's got a vengeful streak that's usually directed at those who harm his friends and a rather nasty temper.
* PlayingWithFire: Very, even alarmingly, good at this.
* PowerGlows: Once or twice. It appears more and more when he uses his psychic powers.
* PowerIncontinence: Develops this with his intermittently manifesting Asgardian SuperStrength meaning that he lives in mortal fear of some day shaking someone's hand and [[{{Fingore}} squashing the bones within to powder]] and his PsychicPowers being potentially incredibly powerful due to the fact that [[spoiler: Jean Grey's a maternal cousin of his]]. All they generally do, however, is sometimes give psychically sensitive people around him a PsychicNosebleed or, if he tries to use his [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]] and his focus slips, he's likely to end up breaking whatever he's holding.
* PrettyBoy: He is this at the moment, to his surprise. Will still have elements of this as an adult, from certain angles.
* PrinceCharming: Mostly of the {{Adorkable}} variety.
* ProHumanTransHuman: Occasional frustrations notwithstanding, he's very pro human. However, it could very easily [[BewareTheSuperman go the other way]]...
* ProtagonistTitle: He is the titular 'Child of the Storm'.
* PsychicallyAssistedSuicide: Is capable of this at the extreme end of his abilities and it's one of the many reasons he's very wary of using his telepathy. [[spoiler: In chapter 74, he nearly forces the leader of a HYDRA assault force to do this when finally pushed too far.]]
* PsychicPowers: Latent, rarely appearing and when they do, under very poor control at the best of times.
** By chapter 63, he seems to have gained some degree of control over them, showing off for the Weasley children with his telekinesis.
** By chapter 74, he's got excellent control of them, which he demonstrates to terrifying effect.
* RagingStiffie: Occasionally alluded to, more in later chapters. As the A/N's point out, Harry is a teenage boy, after all, and surrounded by a lot of extraordinarily attractive women.
* RagsToRoyalty: Very literally, and it is patently obvious that he's having trouble adjusting.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: When [[PlotRelevantAgeUp he's briefly aged up]] and his BerserkButton has been thoroughly pressed, he unleashes a series of punches so fast that they generate their own sonic booms.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: At the start of the fic.
* RoyalBlood: See BlueBlood.
* RoyaltySuperpower: Along with the rest of the Asgardian Royal Family.
* RuggedScar: Played straight and subverted with [[spoiler: the scar he gets from Daken stabbing him in the heart]]. While it fills the standard criteria [[spoiler: being a claw mark]], its placement means that it's not usually visible and he doesn't exactly go out of his way to show it off since gaining it was intensely traumatic.
* ScarsAreForever: His famous lightning bolt scar. [[spoiler: Daken's claws also leave a permanent mark.]]
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: All but quotes this trope, annoyed, in respect to Diana. Subverted in that Sirius and Tony are just suggesting that she is to troll him.
* SleepCute: He is frequently involved in this with friends and family.
* SpannerInTheWorks: He specializes in this, much to Lucius' annoyance.
* SquishyWizard: He is this at the moment, though, by chapter 61, only in comparison to his family, some of his friends and enemies. He is faster, stronger, more agile and more skilled in hand to hand combat than his fellow students.
* StepfordSnarker: He has developed into this as a defence mechanism. He seems to have dealt with a number of the issues causing it, for now, at least.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: His eyes occasionally glow/flash gold. [[GlowingEyesOfDoom It's generally a bad sign.]]
* SuperpowerLottery: He has won/will win big time.
* SuperPowerMeltDown: Everyone's worried that he'll lose control of his powers and go into one that, while it's not lethal to him, will probably be lethal to everyone around him.
* SuperSoldier: He isn't one, but apparently [[spoiler: the Red Room]] think that he's the key to the next generation of these.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: See {{Hunk}}.
* TechnicianVsPerformer: He's most definitely a Performer - he [[IndyPloy makes his strategies up on the fly]] and a defining trait of said strategies is that they're CrazyEnoughToWork.
* TeensAreShort: Starts out as this, but by chapter 59, he's done considerable catching up.
* {{Telepathy}}: Develops this following Chapter 60. By all accounts, he's not very good with it yet and doesn't particularly want to be, since he's downright terrified of misusing it (and not without reason).
* TerrorHero: A Type 5 by chapter 55, having developed a reputation around Hogwarts for being someone you don't want to mess with. He doesn't like it very much, but he's not entirely shy of taking advantage of it.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: It does, at least once, when he throws it into a training dummy and is sufficient to impress watching Asgardians. However, he did have to magically sharpen it first and was noticeably relieved when it ''did'' work - he quite clearly expected to fail. And, you know, telekinetic demigod.
* TookALevelInBadass: By chapter 34, he's throwing swords into targets and saving FireForgedFriends from undead monsters with an IndyPloy. By chapter 59, he's capable of one-shotting reasonably powerful monsters under highly adverse conditions. By chapter 70, he's a OneManArmy capable of, when sufficiently enraged, almost singlehandedly crushing a heavily armed HYDRA attack force full of trained Agents and combat wizards, which is primarily concerned with killing him (and [[spoiler: if he hadn't tried the AttackAttackAttack strategy on someone with a HealingFactor]] there'd be no 'almost' about it). By chapter 74, he's [[BulletDodgesYou capable of stopping 'hundreds, thousands' of bullets in mid air]] with no effort and [[MindOverMatter telekinetically]] grabbing the guns of the HYDRA attack force, [[spoiler: then threatening them with them and nearly forcing the leader, who took a child hostage, to commit suicide.]]
* TranquilFury: In chapter 74, doing much to evoke {{Magneto}}.
* TroublingUnChildlikeBehaviour: Exhibits this in chapter 70, to the disturbance of [=McGonagall=].
* TrueSight: He can and has used this once or twice.
* UnstoppableRage: In chapter 70, channelling the Tenth Doctor in the process. [[spoiler: Daken stops it and then the Phoenix possesses him and goes berserk]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: See YoungConqueror. It scares him and everyone else.
* WeirdnessMagnet: Most definitely, which makes the MagneticHero thing very useful.
* WideEyedIdealist: He is this to the core. Of course, this isn't always a good thing...
* WillingChanneler: Lets [[spoiler: the Phoenix/his mother]] briefly possess him in chapter 58 to protect Harry by intimidating the hell out of Hera.
* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Delivers a short (and chilling) one in chapter 74.
--> [[{{Magneto}} You people and your guns.]] [[WorldOfCardboardSpeech Did you really think that they would protect you from]] ''[[WorldOfCardboardSpeech me]]''?
* YoungConqueror: He has all the hallmarks of this, as noticed by much of the cast. All of them note that while he could be the next Captain America, a hero among heroes, he has the intelligence, charisma, experience of the dark side of humanity and hatred of injustice to become the next [[WellIntentionedExtremist Magneto]] and possibly one considerably more dangerous than the original at his worst. Part of his character arc leads to him noticing this in chapter 61 and rejecting it (with a little help from his friends) - though the text implies that it isn't going to be the last time he's going to be confronted with that temptation.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Develops into this, with Chapter 57 noting that he could easily pass for fifteen or sixteen and that he's starting to attract FemaleGaze.
* YourMindMakesItReal: This happens in Chapter 66 and takes on a whole new meaning when an Omega class psychic is involved.

!!Carol Danvers

A somewhat spiky and abrasive teenage girl with every reason to be that way and few close friends.

* ActionGirl: Very much so.
* [[spoiler: AllGenesAreCoDominant: Even though she's his great-granddaughter, Steve's blood runs very strongly in her and once her genetics get a kick in the pants, she's no less powerful a super soldier than he is, allowing for differences in age and build.]]
* AnAxeToGrind: Briefly borrows Uhtred's axe in chapter 60 and wields it crudely (because she's had no training with it) but effectively, as one werewolf found out.
* BadassNormal: She routinely breaks athletics records in her age group and beat her entire High School Football team in arm wrestling contests. She's also a good enough strategist that Uhtred remarks that Sif would be impressed.
** EmpoweredBadassNormal: In chapter 60, she's briefly jacked up to SuperSoldier levels. [[spoiler: As of chapter 69, it turns out that it stuck.]]
* BerserkButton: Feeling her up and trying to hurt Jean-Paul.
* TheBigGal: In attitude and build, if lacking superhuman physical power. Her fighting style, for example, is largely based on speed and brute force.
* BigSisterInstinct: Towards Diana, big time.
* BoobsOfSteel: Like her canon counterpart, she's got the MostCommonSuperpower and she kicks butt with the best of them.
* BrokenAce: She's a highly talented leader, smart, comfortably breaks athletics records, beat her school's Football team in sequential arm wrestling contests, is captain of her school's soccer team and beautiful to boot (though this last one tends to be more of a hindrance than a help). She's also spiky, abrasive and naturally quite defensive because before she met Harry, she only knew about two guys in her age group who didn't treat her as a ball breaker or seek to befriend her solely to get in her pants, one of whom was took it upon himself to be her KnightTemplarBigBrother (which, while well meant, has been known to backfire) and the other of whom is extremely CampGay. After she beat the football team in the above mentioned arm wrestle, their fathers leaned on the school board to have her tested for steroids. She's routinely verbally assaulted by her peers. She's routinely sexually harassed by men much older than her. On top of all that, she's got an ExtremeDoormat mother and a verbally abusive StayInTheKitchen father, with her only close family member being her maternal uncle, Jack O'Neill and possibly his daughter, Sharon Carter.
* BrutalHonesty: Bluntly informs Harry that, having spent a couple of days moping in his rooom, he smells.
* BuffySpeak: Post waking up and prior to her first coffee.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Possibly. She's mentioned as beating the entire American Football team at her school in arm wrestling contests, in succession, then breaking a number of records in an athletics fixture. However [[spoiler: the nature of her enhancement in chapter 60, the fact that chapter 69 demonstrates that it remained, and the fact that she gets her blonde, blue eyed colouring from her maternal grandmother, supposedly the much younger sister of Peggy Carter, who is neither of those things, does beg a question or two...]]
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: [[spoiler: She's willing to make the sacrifice play in a heartbeat]].
* CovertPervert: Has noticed Clint's arms, shall we say, and the prospect of topless pics of Rhodey is sufficient to induce InstantWakingSkills when she's half asleep.
* CurvesInAllTheRightPlaces: Mentioned, more to the effect of SoBeautifulItsACurse (she's in her mid teens and looks like a hot coed. A peaceful life this does not make for).
* DeadpanSnarker: Fairly snarky, though less than most. The tone varies from bitter to, usually where Harry's concerned, affectionate.
* {{Determinator}}: Oh, hell yes. This is the girl who [[spoiler: beat a supercharged, tank sized werewolf to a pulp with nothing but a metal shield]].
* ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl: In chapter 60. Usually treads the line between this and BadassNormal.
** [[spoiler: By chapter 69 it seems to have stuck]].
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Much to her chagrin.
* FriendlessBackground: The only people she's close to in her life are [[CampGay Jean-Paul]], [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Lex]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist Luthor]], who she occasionally has to play MoralityChain to and her CoolUncle [[Series/StargateSG1 Jack O'Neill]], who it is suggested that she doesn't normally see often because of his job.
* GenerationXerox: In many ways, she's basically Peggy minus the cool calm. [[spoiler: And her ChronicHeroSyndrome, talents as TheStrategist and inclination towards shields come straight from her great-grandfather, Steve]].
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Verging on JerkWithAHeartOfGold territory at times.
* HatesBeingTouched: Or at least, Hates Being Touched By Guys (Who Are Into Her), because it's usually a prelude to copping a feel. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming She]] [[TearJerker makes]] [[CryIntoChest an]] [[ShipTease exception]] [[SecurityCling for]] [[CuddleBug Harry]] in chapter 72. It helps that she trusts him.
** Previously in chapter 61, she's not particularly bothered by having been roped into the cuddle pile of kids since she's aching too much to be immediately pissed off, plus it's patently obvious that hands haven't gone wandering and that Harry's used every available appendage to pull guys and girls alike into the pile, to be sure that they're all safe.
* HelloNurse: Qualifies as such, much to her displeasure.
* HeroicSacrifice: Ultimately subverted, but [[spoiler: the intent is there]].
* HotBlooded: She has a spectacular temper, though she's usually pretty good at controlling it.
* HugeSchoolGirl: She's close to 6' tall at the age of 14/15.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Though she herself isn't exactly innocent.
* InstantWakingSkills: If she thinks that pics of a shirtless Rhodey are in the offing.
* InTheBlood: She takes very much after Peggy Carter, her great-aunt and her uncle Jack. Cousin Sharon shows that she's not the only one who inherited the badassery. [[spoiler: And perhaps they got it more directly - it's implied that Peggy's 'sister' was actually her daughter by Steve, born after he crashed in the Arctic]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed version, as she warms up to Harry pretty quickly after the two bond over flying, he stands up for her and it becomes patently obvious that while he was aware that she's very attractive, he sees her as a friend. Also, he's a MagneticHero and a genuine NiceGuy. People tend to like him on principle. She's also kind to a young Mattie Franklin and is [[BigSisterInstinct very]] [[CoolBigSis protective]] of [[spoiler: Diana]]. However, its suggested that she's not so nice to her peers (including an unfortunate Peter Parker who apparently caught her on a bad day), for obvious reasons.
** Chapter 72 underlines the heart of gold part when she comforts Harry after [[spoiler: Luna's murder and his own, temporary, death]] interspersed with some affectionate snark.
* TheLancer: To Harry, being the cooler, more tactical one of the two. Though she's still pretty HotBlooded.
* TheLeader: Is quite naturally this, being a mixture of Headstrong and The Mastermind.
* MaleGaze: Subject to it, much to her displeasure.
* MessyHair: Carol has epic bedhead.
* MoralityChain / MoralityPet: She serves as both of these to [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Lex Luthor]].
* MostCommonSuperpower: She has this and wishes that she didn't.
* NayTheist: She used to be an atheist, then the Battle of New York happened. This is suggested to be a reaction to her [[StayInTheKitchen father]], who at least acts the part of a devout Catholic.
* NotAMorningPerson: Her response to wake up calls is mumbling 'with a considerable 'fuck off' component' and on being tricked out of bed, monosyllables, death threats and BuffySpeak.
* OneOfTheBoys: A classic version of this, being her school's top football ([[TheBeautifulGame the version that the rest of the world recognises as football]]) player, a top athlete, with a spiky, abrasive personality. The latter largely comes from the fact that, unlike most examples, she's not indistinguishable from the guys (though she probably wishes that she was). Instead, she's an AmazonianBeauty and YoungerThanSheLooks, leading to a lot of unwanted attention.
* ParentalSubstitute: Her maternal uncle, Jack O'Neill, is pretty much the father she deserves, rather than one she has.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Is a dedicated [[TheBeautifulGame football]] (soccer) player and very good at it, [[TheCaptain captaining]] her school team, specifically playing as a [[JackOfAllTrades box to box midfielder]], a position requiring a great deal of energy and skill.
* ShellShockedVeteran: She shows hints of this in Chapter 61. Under the circumstances, it isn't exactly surprising.
* ShieldBash: She succeeds in [[spoiler: beating a supersized werewolf into whimpering submission]] through this method.
* StayInTheKitchen: Her father's attitude towards her, at direct counterpoint to her uncle, who encourages her to follow her dreams to be a pilot.
* SupportingLeader: She has shades of this in respect to Harry.
* TheStrategist: She has a natural born gift for this, to the point where the Winter Soldier remarks on it. [[spoiler: The implication is that she gets it from Steve]].
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: A realistic variant - she's attractive and considerably YoungerThanSheLooks so she gets a lot of unwanted attention.
* SuperSoldier: Briefly becomes one in chapter 60 thanks to a temporary PlotRelevantAgeUp / enhancement.
* ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks: Deconstructed. When she tries it with a classic kite shield, while she manages to throw it effectively, it just bounces off her target and has to be retrieved.
* TranquilFury: Goes into this in Chapter 60 after Jean-Paul is hurt. She [[spoiler: blinds a supercharged werewolf with her shield, beats it to pulp, uses an axe to prevent it from getting away/fighting back, before killing it]].
* TheUnfavourite: As per canon, she's this to her father, possibly her mother too. She certainly has a low opinion of both of them, considering her mother an ExtremeDoormat.
* UnkemptBeauty: Though tomboyish and generally to be found far from makeup, she's usually very attractive, even with spectacular bed-head.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Jean-Paul.
* YouDidEverythingYouCould: Gives a speech along these lines to Harry in chapter 72.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: 14/15 and built like a hot college student. This gets her a lot of unwanted attention, hence the spiky attitude.

!!Jean-Paul Beaubier

CampGay mutant speedster. Kind, friendly, will flirt with anything male that moves. Much, much sharper than he lets on.

* AgentPeacock: Very CampGay, classically effeminate and very pretty. However, he's more than capable of almost absently performing a SherlockScan on someone he barely knows and while he's a FragileSpeedster, he's a CombatPragmatist who knows the value of a [[EyeScream well-aimed rock thrown at mach speeds]].
* AnythingThatMoves: A PG variant. If it's male, he'll flirt with it.
* BadassGay: Definitely.
* BeneathTheMask: Though only a few glimpses are offered, it's hinted both that he's much smarter (capable of absent mindedly pulling off a SherlockScan on someone he barely knows) and that he's much, much more dangerous than he lets on.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He looks and acts harmless, but is, in fact, anything but.
* BilingualBonus: His little comments in French occasionally qualify.
* BrutalHonesty: Every now and then.
* CampGay: Very, very much so. How much of this is an affectation is up for debate.
* ChivalrousPervert: The moment he notices Harry expressing discomfort at being flirted with, he immediately stops and apologises.
* CombatPragmatist: In a fight, he'll use pretty much any weapon he can lay hands on.
* GayBestFriend: Appears to be Carol's at first, and its implied that he plays up to this image to ensure that people underestimate him.
* HiddenDepths: He is considerably more than a harmless flirt.
* LethalJokeCharacter: He may not have the degree of RequiredSecondaryPowers required to make him really effective against superhuman opponents, but you don't want to get in the way of a rock thrown at mach speeds. Especially if it's aimed at your eye.
* OnlySaneMan: Plays this role to the other teens, often being the one to [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] how strange things are getting and to offer the sensible solution.
* PrettyBoy: To the point where the otherwise straight and not even faintly interested Harry observes that the only appropriate adjective to describe him is beautiful.
* SherlockScan: He almost absent mindedly performs one on Harry briefly when Harry tries to say that he's not too diffident.
* SuperSpeed: A genuine speedster and [[spoiler: possibly a latent user of the Speed Force]].
* {{Troll}}: Entirely happy to troll Carol for his own amusement.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Carol.

!!Uhtred Ullrson

An Asgardian teenager who happens to be Sif's protégé, and for good reason.

* TheAce: He's the best Asgardian combatant of his generation and Sif's protégé.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: At first.
* AnAxeToGrind: The guy likes his axes.
* {{Badass}}: He's Sif's protégé for damn good reason, as it turns out. Just ask [[spoiler: the Disir]] and [[spoiler: one of the Slendermen]] and [[spoiler: a supercharged werewolf or two]]. He's probably the most skilled of the kids in combat.
* BadassGay: It turns out that he's Bi.
* BassoProfundo: His older self has a notably deeper voice than an aged up Harry, who is himself a BadassBaritone.
* TheBear: If anything, he's bi and his adult self is about two metres tall and [[BadassBeard fairly hairy]], conveniently, being explicitly described as being 'built like a bear' (though the description refers to the animal).
* BiTheWay: Flirts with older girls and with [[CampGay Jean-Paul]].
* TheBigGuy: In physical power alternates with [[spoiler: Diana]], though she's about half his size.
* BoisterousBruiser: Loves a good fight, and reacts with interest when informed of the Acromantula colony in the Forbidden Forest.
* CasualDangerDialogue: When he informs the others that he's being attacked by [[spoiler: a supercharged, supersized werewolf]], his tone is more one of mild irritation that they're not paying attention.
* ChronicallyKilledActor: A meta example, since his adult self was fancast as Creator/SeanBean, leading to many worried enquiries as to whether he would die or not. No definitive answer has been given.
* {{Determinator}}: Nearly as much as Carol.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: At first, driving his antagonism towards Harry.
* FireForgedFriends: With Harry and Diana and, to a lesser extent, with Carol and Jean-Paul.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Once he gets over himself, sure.
* IGaveMyWord: He takes his oath [[spoiler: of service to Harry]] very seriously, somewhat to Harry's embarrassment.
* IOweYouMyLife: The reason he swore loyalty to Harry in the first place.
* LiteralMinded: tends not to get metaphors, though this is mostly a product of the fact that he's not from Earth and most of the characters are.
* [[ManlyGay Manly Bisexual]]: He flirts with boys and girls alike, is an all-action [[AnAxeToGrind axe wielding]] young warrior and protégé of [[GodOfWar Sif]] from a background which is the Asgardian answer to a Mountain Man or a Marcher Lord who's fancast as Creator/SeanBean and said to be, when temporarily an adult, about two metres tall, with a BadassBeard and built like a bear. That's about as goddamn manly as you're going to get.
* OriginalCharacter: Completely invented and has proved to be moderately popular.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: He is twice bested in a short period of term after a long period of being the best. Since the people who bested him are [[TheHero Harry]], who's the son of Thor and a master of the IndyPloy and [[spoiler: Diana, a pre-teen version of ''Wonder Woman'']], this isn't exactly surprising. He gets to strut his stuff in chapters 59 and 60.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: The actual tracking part isn't difficult. The fact that he can tell that a patch of ice isn't natural simply from examining it and tapping it with his bare hands in Chapter 58 counts.
* SuperStrength: As an Asgardian teenager, this naturally comes into play, though he's noted as being strong even by Asgardian standards - [[PlotRelevantAgeUp his adult self]] is up there with [[StoutStrength Volstagg]] who is generally considered to be the physically strongest Asgardian outside of the [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething House]] [[BadassFamily of]] [[SuperPowerfulGenetics Odin]] and possibly Heimdall.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: In spades.

!!Diana [[spoiler: Herculeis of Olympus]]

An Olympian and a Ward of Asgard, she's the daughter of [[spoiler: Hercules and Hyppolyta]] and therefore [[spoiler: a pre teen Wonder Woman]]. She's much more dangerous and much wiser than her appearance would have most believe.

* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Implied to be a problem with her empathic powers.
* BadassAdorable: She is a cute preteen. Well behaved young lady. Can school Sif's physically powerful and older protégé in a wrestling match.
* TheBerserker: [[spoiler: Hinted at, then finally shown in chapter 60, and holy crap is it scary.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She is the kindest, sweetest person this side of Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner. The latter comparison should give you a clue as to why it isn't a very good idea to piss her off.
* TheBigGal: She's tiny, but she's got the physical power for it.
* BloodKnight: It's InTheBlood. After all, her dad [[spoiler: is Marvel's Hercules and provides the trope image]]. Her mum's no slouch in that department, either.
* BoobsOfSteel: Considering the source material, these are inevitable. [[spoiler: Seen during the temporary PlotRelevantAgeUp. Being normally a fairly flat chested 12 year old, she finds them inconvenient at best, uncomfortable at worst, then promptly ignores them.]]
* BloodKnight: She has to actively suppress these tendencies. [[spoiler: Hardly surprising when her father provides the page image]].
* BoysHaveCooties: Observes that her mother told that she'd once [[GuyOnGuyIsHot enjoy the sight of two handsome boys wrestling]], but for the time being cannot understand the appeal.
* BreakTheCutie: Most of her life has been a drawn out TraumaCongaLine.
* BrutalHonesty: Like a considerably less spaced out Luna Lovegood.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Like Carol, her aged up self has this.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: A curious example. As an [[PsychicPowers Empath]], she's got a very good idea of what goes on inside people's heads. Yet, this is also the girl who [[spoiler: hugged ''the Winter Soldier'' to thank him for saving her friend's life]].
* CuteBruiser: She's small, adorable and very sweet. Also an extremely skilled warrior who will one day be about as strong as Thor and the Hulk and is [[LittleMissBadass already a fair bit of the way there.]]
* CreepyChild: Frequently comes off as this, largely thanks to her [[PsychicPowers Empathy]] and the insight it grants her, which makes her resemble a more down to earth Luna Lovegood. Somewhat subverted, though, once people get to know her.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Definitely. [[spoiler: Because of the identities of her parents, Hera has frequently attempted to murder her. Her father then reached out to Athena and Loki, who between them concocted the solution of having her be fostered in Asgard]].
* FlyingBrick: She's not exactly a heavyweight yet, but she can fly and definitely possesses SuperStrength.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: When aged up, partly pulls this on one of the supersized werewolves and then fully on [[spoiler: Project Ultimatum]].
* IAmHavingSoulPains: Her empathic powers are largely untrained and impossible to turn off, meaning that she's vulnerable to a psychic freak out, whether it's by [[PowerIncontinence Harry]] or a GeniusLoci.
* InTheBlood: Heroism runs in the family. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, so do severe BloodKnight tendencies]].
* LittleMissBadass: See above.
* OnlySaneWoman: At times, though this role usually falls to Jean-Paul.
* PintSizedPowerHouse: She's tiny, but she can still kick your ass.
* [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race Gal]]: Subtle, but it's there.
* PsychicNosebleed: She gets this twice - once when Harry has a minor AngstNuke moment with his own latent PsychicPowers, and the second time when she accidentally tunes in to [[spoiler: a very powerful and very angry GeniusLoci]].
* PsychicPowers: An Empath and WiseBeyondTheirYears because of it.
* TheQuietOne: She talks more than most examples of this trope, but when she does speak, she tends to be very insightful.
* RoyalBlood: She's [[spoiler: the granddaughter of Zeus]], after all, with the expected RoyaltySuperpower.
* SuperStrength: She will one day be batting in the Thor/Hulk power range and [[spoiler: her adult self proves capable of, under stress, ripping Project Ultimatum, a robot based on ''the Destroyer'' in half]]. As it is, she's already got an undefined, but considerable, amount of physical power to call upon.
* UnkemptBeauty: Probably.
* WhipItGood: Briefly uses some spare rope for this purpose in Chapter 60, as a nod to her adult self's proclivity towards this.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: She is a particularly skilled practitioner of ''pankration''. Considering that she's [[spoiler: the daughter of Hercules, inventor of the art]], this is hardly surprising.

!!Lex Luthor

Young, bald super genius with few friends. Largely based off his ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' incarnation, and currently a good guy. That said, he ''is'' kind of terrifying if [[KnightTemplarBigBrother someone bothers/upsets Carol.]] [[DisproportionateRetribution As in, you'll be put on a flight to Guantanamo Bay.]] Needless to say, he requires a MoralityChain, every now and then.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Like on the early seasons of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', but somewhat more moral since he's got a few more friends than that incarnation, particularly Carol, who acts as his MoralityChain. That said, he specialises in DisproportionateRetribution.
* DisproportionateRetribution: As part of his KnightTemplarBigBrother shtick.
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Towards Carol. It's effectiveness is deconstructed.
* LikesOlderWomen: Is attracted to Sue Storm, who's a few years older than him. They start dating after Harry contrives to set them up.
* MoralityChain: Carol serves as this due to the above.
* SuperIntelligence: He has a mild degree of this.
* TerrorHero: A mild variant - not only is he protective of Carol, but it's noted that, on her various escapades, there's usually someone that needs scaring and that he rather enjoys it. And then there was the incident with [[NoodleIncident the one way trip to Guantanamo Bay]].
* WellDoneSonGuy: Subtle, but there. Lionel Luthor is not a good father, and consequently Lex goes looking for approval from the likes of Tony Stark, Brigadier Jack O'Neill and Loki.

!!Hermione Jean Granger

One of Harry's oldest friends at Hogwarts and fellow apprentice to Loki. Supportive, but her adjustment to the new status quo has met with mixed success. [[spoiler: Is also unaware that she is the daughter of Wanda Maximoff and John Constantine, also making her the granddaughter of Magneto himself]]. A bit of a WalkingSpoiler due to a revelation or two about her that crops up in the story.
