* DropTheHammer: His main weapon is an enormous warhammer that makes the Chaos Eater look tiny by comparison. For that matter, makes War look puny. Judging by his personality, tastes in building design and location, skills and hammer, he's the inspiration for Thor amongst humanity.






* DropTheHammer: Carries a very huge one.

* BerserkButton: He does not like people touching his things without permission, uninvited people on his property and strangers in general. One or all of those will most likely result in an ass-whooping, as the Hellguard (and almost War) learned the hard way.

!Constructs

[[folder:Constructs in General]]
The creations of the Makers, they are stone or metal constructs animated by Heart Stones forged from the souls of deceased Makers, which are too old to pass through the Well of Souls and so choose to give themselves up to create new life. However, many of these Constructs have either been destroyed or subjected to Corruption, turning against their former people.
----
* {{Golem}}: What they effectively are. Some are more sentient than others, even able to remember their past lives as Makers.
* MightyGlacier: Many of the larger ones don't move fast, but they ''will'' hit hard if their swings connect.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Not by choice in most cases, but many have become infested by TheCorruption, gone insane, or (in the case of the ones that went to Earth to fight in the End War) enslaved by the Destroyer.

[[folder:Blackroot]]
!!Blackroot

A Construct that has remained rooted to the same spot waiting for his master to return for so long that life has begun to grow over and inside him, leaving him with a hunger for special stones to sate it. He asks Death to gather special "Stonebites" scattered across the realm for him to eat, offering stat boosts for every three stones fed in combination to him.
----
* BigEater: {{Justified}} though, as he needs to eat to feed the life growing on him, or it will consume ''him'' instead.
* CloudCuckooLander: He doesn't seem to be completely there, responding to Death's incredulous demand of wanting to know if he just seriously told him to bring him food with a cheerful "if it's not too much trouble!"

[[folder:The Guardian]]
!!The Guardian

The largest and most powerful Construct ever created by the Makers, the Guardians was intended to fight the Corruption plaguing the Forge Lands, but the Makers were unable to awaken him before the way to the Foundry was destroyed. Death's main goal in the Forge Lands is to open the path to the Guardian and awaken it to make it fulfill its purpose.

!Makers

[[folder:Makers in general]]
An eons old race, the Makers dwell in a Realm called the Forge Lands. The Makers are one of the Old Ones, surviving races which the Creator brought into being. They are charged with the creation of countless universes, where in each one the Creator tried to bring balance.
----
* BizarreSexualDimorphism: Male Makers tend to have [[TinyHeadedBehemoth disproportionately small heads]] whereas females, while still massive have more balanced proportions.
* DyingRace: Their world is on the verge of the Abyss, much of it consumed by Corruption that has killed most of their race. Its implied that all its left of the Makers are the ones met in the Sanctuary in ''Darksiders II'', Ulthane (who is stranded on Earth) and the Mad Smith (who is implied to be undead/turned into a construct). The third game reveals that a few other accompanied Ulthane, but hardly enough to save their people.
* MightyGlacier: They're not known for their running speed, but when you're as big as them, you don't need much.
* OlderThanTheyLook: How long they live isn't stated, but Kharn talks about 500 years as though it were young. To emphasize that, if you speak to Thane right after the Tears of the Mountain quest, he'll imply that a two ''thousand'' year old is the maker equivalent of a small child.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: They fit almost every single Dwarf stereotype, except...
* OurGiantsAreBigger: They are at least twice the height of human-sized beings. Most enemies in both games are considerably smaller than them.
* StoutStrength: Justified given their size and that they are extremely muscular in addition to being big.
* TimeAbyss: They're so old, that their souls can't be drawn into the Well of Souls.

!Ulthane
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ulthane.jpg]]

A member of the Makers, Ulthane is encountered by War while searching for the Griever. He fights with War until Uriel and her Hellguard appear. They join forces and beat Uriel and the Hellguard, and after which he directs War to the Griever's Lair.
----
* BerserkButton: He does not like people touching his things without permission, uninvited people on his property and strangers in general. One or all of those will most likely result in an ass-whooping, as the Hellguard (and almost War) learned the hard way.
* BloodKnight: He seemed to be enjoying himself during his duel with War (when you use his chaos form to attack him) and when they're competing against each other to see who can kill the most angels.
* BodyCountCompetition: Sparks one with War over who can kill the most "pigeons", and will reward you if you win.
* BoisterousBruiser: You know someone is one when they straight up turn a battle against angels into a contest to see who can kill the most.
* DeadpanSnarker: Calls the angels showing up "pigeons" and likens killing them to removing pests from his yard. Samael found this amusing. [[spoiler: Ironically, it's hinted he's friends with Azrael, an angel. Both of which were two of the three instigators of the premature End War.]]
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: With War, and he got away with it.
* DropTheHammer: His main weapon is an enormous warhammer that makes the Chaos Eater look tiny by comparison. For that matter, makes War look puny. Judging by his personality, tastes in building design and location, skills and hammer, he's the inspiration for Thor amongst humanity.
* FieryRedhead: Red hair? Check. Fiery? Check.
* GracefulLoser: If you win the contest to see who can kill the most angels, he won't be mad about it.
* HiddenDepths: War is pretty quick to realize to he's hiding something.
* NotAfraidToDie: Even when War points his handgun Mercy directly at his face, he simply says...
-->'''Ulthane:''' Do I look like I'm afraid of death, boy?
* TheRedBaron: "The Black Hammer"
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Ulthane also co-conspired with Azrael and Abaddon into triggering the End War early. He was the one who forged the Armageddon Blade, which was used to break six of the Seven Seals]].
* SuperStrength: Ulthane has so much raw power that he can easily tote around a warhammer so heavy even War initially couldn't hope to pick it up.
* ViolentGlaswegian: Loves a good brawl and has a thick Scottish accent.
* UltimateBlacksmith: [[spoiler: He created the Armageddon Blade, the one weapon that can kill the Destroyer and break the seals.]]

* HornyVikings: His appearance is much evocative of theirs. Bonus points as Makers are giant dwarves.

[[folder:Karn]]
!Karn
!!Voiced by: Andre Sogliuzzo

The youngest Maker, treated as an impetuous whelp by the others.
----
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He may not be the brightest (for instance, his "tip the construct" idea), but Karn is very strong and adept at combat.
%%* TheDitz
* DropTheHammer: Carries a very huge one.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He's bald and somewhat ugly. Death even lampshades the difference.

[[folder:Thane]]
!Thane
!!Voiced by: Creator/JBBlanc

A warrior Maker who (according to the description of the helmet you find in the side quest "Lost and Found") is also Ulthane's brother. His function in the game is to sell you abilities.

* AnAxToGrind: A huge one even in proportion to his size.
* BloodKnight: Eagerly accepts Death's challenge to a duel and even says that he imagines dying on the field of battle.
* DeadpanSnarker: Maybe it's just him being bitter about his whole realm being corrupted and a large portion of his race wiped out, but he's pretty sarcastic towards Death.
* MightyGlacier: In his duel, he is quite slow with highly-telegraphed attacks, but if you fight him when you first meet him, he can and will one-shot you. His health is quite a bit higher than any boss faced up to that point as well.

[[folder:Alya]]
!Alya
!!Voiced by: Elle Newlands

One of only two female Makers that appear in ''Darksiders II''. Alya and her brother Valus run their own small forge, and later the Maker's Forge. Valus isn't that talkative, so his sister is in charge with selling his works.
----
* UltimateBlacksmith: Not to the extent of her brother, but she still has impressive skills even for a Maker.

A shaman of the Makers. Muria sell talismans and potions. She even tasks Death with collecting three special items needed for her to make him the Grim Talisman.
----
* BlindSeer: She wears a blindfold around her eyes.
* DespairEventHorizon: Many of her conversations with Death seem to have an almost nihilistic tone to them.
* GreenThumb: If you approach her and ''not'' hit talk, you can see her using magic to grow plants.
* MyGreatestFailure: According to one of the side quests, Muria once tried to make a construct without a Maker's soul. It... didn't go so well. She requests that Death destroy her creation, to both put it out of its misery and prevent it from hurting others.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Has long silver-hair and has magical powers, including visions and growing plants.
