* FaceHeelTurn: : Allistor's backstory. [[spoiler:He and Mia lived in France during the 13th Century, and when he reported the sighting of a demon in the streets of Paris to the church, he was arrested and taken to the Seraphim (Necromancers), who recruited him with claims they were fighting a fallen angel. However as he worked on translating the documents and tablets they requested of him him he learned the truth and sought out Bernie's help. They struck up a friendship, but this started to fall apart over the discovering of a veilripper Allistor kept as a trophy from a Death Knight he had fought and killed before learning the truth about the Seraphim. When his daughter, Mia, was dying of illness he turned to the Necromancers but they refused to act to save her, and Bernie also rebuffed him. Instead, out of desperation he took it upon himself to use the Dreamer's Sigil and sacrificed Mia to forcibly bind one of the Primordials to her to save her life. Mia showed an appetite for other Primordials, so he turned her loose on the Seraphim. Bernie later came to deal with them both, but Allistor essentially stalemated her by threatening to turn Mia loose against the Vigil and their families, so she backed down and departed warning him never to cross her path again. Since then, Allistor and Mia have been staunch allies of the Vigil, though not members themselves. Mia and James are close friends and she's very well-liked by the rest of the Knights, while Allistor is at least respected. His relationship with Bernie remains frosty, however]].

Mia's father, a former French peasant who joined the Necromancers in the 13th Century, only to turn against them when he learned the truth about them. More reluctant to help the Vigil than his daughter, he is willing to provide them information on what the Necromancers are up to.

* BadassBookworm: Part of what led the Necromancers (or the Seraphim Order of the Inquisition as they called themselves at the time) to induct him into their ranks. According to his daughter, he was "a Renaissance man before the Renaissance".

The Necromancers refuse him because Primordials won't bind to the dying and Bernie brushes him off (he assumes) out of anger over his past lies to her.

* TheExile: Part of the deal he made with the Vigil for his and Mia's lives; they could go free but they would never cross the Vigil's path again.
* FaceHeelTurn: : Allistor's backstory. [[spoiler:He and Mia lived in France during the 13th Century, and when he reported the sighting of a demon in the streets of Paris to the church, he was arrested and taken to the Seraphim (Necromancers), who recruited him with claims they were fighting a fallen angel. However as he worked on translating the documents and tablets they requested of him him he learned the truth and sought out Bernie's help. They struck up a friendship, but this started to fall apart over the discovering of a veilripper Allistor kept as a trophy from a Death Knight he had fought and killed before learning the truth about the Seraphim. When his daughter, Mia, was dying of illness he turned to the Necromancers but they refused to act to save her, and Bernie also rebuffed him. Instead, out of desperation he took it upon himself to use the Dreamer's Sigil and sacrificed Mia to forcibly bind one of the Primordials to her to save her life. Mia showed an appetite for other Primordials, so he turned her loose on the Seraphim. Bernie later came to deal with them both, but Allistor essentially stalemated her by threatening to turn Mia loose against the Vigil and their families, so she backed down and departed warning him never to cross her path again. Since then, Allistor and Mia have been staunch allies of the Vigil, though not members themselves. Mia and James are close friends and she's very well-liked by the rest of the Knights, while Allistor is at least respected. His relationship with Bernie remains frosty, however]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Goes through one of these in Issue 7 after [[spoiler: he allows Wulf and Maria to steal the last remaining Veilrippers and summon Bernie into a trap. When Heinrich argues that Bernie brought it on herself by refusing to restore Maria and Wulf's daughter to life the way she did Mia. Samuel angrily reveals the truth; Bernie never refused them, there was nothing she could do because the girl was already brain-dead. When Heinrich calls this a lie, Samuel shows him his memories as proof, as well as showing that for all her anger with him, Bernie always intended to save Mia from her terminal illness before Heinrich took matters into his own hands. His face after seeing all this is this trope to a tee]].
* PapaWolf: To Mia.
* TokenHeroicOrc: He was an Necromancer, but allows his daughter to hang out with the Vigil, supplies them with information and even fights with them when needed.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He originally befriended Bernadette in the 13th Century, looking for information on translating the Dreamer's Code. Unfortunately, their friendship came to an end the day he invited her to his home; [[spoiler: Bernie saw a veilripper he'd kept as a trophy from a Vigil member he'd killed some time before learning the truth about the Necromancers and refused to have anything more to do with him (as well as holding a grudge over the matter for 800 years]].

Lord Asrah senses something is different about her, and she twice unwittingly releases a SuperPoweredEvilSide when she's knocked out to save her life.

Clara herself has no memory of these incidents, as she appears to lose consciousness whenever it emerges.
