* GreaterScopeVillain: In both Original Sin titles. In ''Original Sin 1'': [[spoiler:The order of Source Hunters was formed just to bring this guy down, and it's thanks to his experiments and vast magical knowledge that Leandra learned how to break her soul forge. It's likely the only reason he doesn't become the BigBad of Original Sin 1 is because the player characters stop him from regaining his strength]]. In ''Original Sin 2'' [[spoiler:Fort Joy, the island where Act 1 takes place, was a part of Braccus' empire, and it's where he did all kinds of sick and horrifying experiments. The purging wands, Shriekers, and most of the Divine Order's technology were all created by him. You can barely go 20 minutes in Fort Joy without seeing something Braccus Rex has tortured, or cursed... and it only gets worse once you leave the prison and start exploring the Hollowed Marshes]].

* BeastOfTheApocalypse: It is the embodiment of time and existence coming to an end -- as long as it is free, history has a defined end-point that even time-travelers and the nigh-omniscient personification of time can't see past. All of mortalkind and all the gods joined forces to stop this thing the first time around.



* GreaterScopeVillain: It's corruption is what turned Source into an evil magic, making it implicitly one of the parties responsible for Braccus Rex and every historical example of an evil Sourcerer.
* LeakingCanOfEvil: Astarte could not contain the Dragon perfectly like the Godbox had. Its corruption tainted Astarte's magic in Rivellon, turning Source from a wondrous divine energy into an evil power. She can't defeat the Dragon and can't fight it forever, and the End of Time represents the moment she is finally beaten and the Dragon is let loose to destroy reality.



* SealedEvilInACan: He was trapped inside the Godbox before being released.

* SealedEvilInACan: He Once it was trapped inside defeated in the ancient past, the Godbox was forged to imprison the Dragon and its Void influence forever. It goes right back in after the FinalBattle, with all parties knowing better than to try releasing it again.
* SealedEvilInADuel: After releasing it from the Godbox, Astarte stopped it again by locking the two of them in a duel for all time. Leandra's plan is to come assist the Dragon with an army of invincible soldiers. The FinalBattle is the players coming to back her up

He also had little patience for sifting through old tomes and scrolls he found uninteresting, and if said reading material had something he needed from it he would have a servant read it for him.

* EnemyToAllLivingThings: [[spoiler: Braccus' touch can cause people to rot and die from the inside out. The lands of Fort Joy were once lush and fertile, but Braccus' presence there caused plant life to decay, disease to spread, and the dead to rise. Spending too much time around him can cause descent into madness, you can see this within the magister ranks, but none are affected more than Dallis herself. Characters note that while Dallis was bit harsh as she moved up the ranks it wasn't until she started spending time with Braccus that she started to go crazy. After Braccus became her advisor she not only resorted to more drastic measures to deal with source users, but she started to take pleasure, and delight in the suffering of others, and occasionally looks on with glee whenever Braccus decides to torture and kill her own soldiers. After being entombed for thousands of years, and spending time with Braccus, the only thing really keeping her together is her desire for Revenge agaisnt the God King and The Seven, and her genuine beilef that she's doing the right thing. Casandra goes from being a kind and loving women to a physically, and emotially absive yandere not unlike himself. Even your own characters aren't immune to the presence of his overwhelming evil. The narrator notes that Braccus' smile causes you suffering akin to a snake slithering around your mouth and throat attempting to strangle you, and that his gaze causes you to shiver. Theres a very good reason everyone considers him to be evil incarnate]].

* {{Yandere}}: Once Braccus takes an interest in someone the likelihood of that person being able to leave his service is extremely slim. He tortured and humiliated Arhu daily, because he wasn't very fond of how much time he was spending with his sister. [[spoiler: when Gratiana attempted suicide Braccus dragged her back from the Hall of Echoes, ensnared her soul, and then turned her into a undead revenant, so that she would never be able to leave him]].
