History Characters / Doom2016MaykrsAndArgenta

* TheDragon: He is this twofold to the Father. First, by being one of the Seraph, the Father's first Urdak creations who helped him build, research and carried out his will. The second for being the most favoured and trusted of the Seraphs, to the point where he's considered the Father's Right Hand.

* HumanAliens: They hail from the alien world of Argent D'Nur, and yet look indistinguishable from humans both in and out of armour. [[spoiler:Lore found in the Cultist Base level implies that this is because the humans of Earth are descendants of an ancient colony of Argentians, which would effectively ''invert'' this trope.]]

* DropTheHammer: Valen's Argent Warhammer, the Hellbreaker. It can be seen resting against his seat when the Slayer visits his hideout. [[spoiler:In ''The Ancient Gods - Part Two'', he gives it to the Doom Slayer and gets an identical one that's blue and powered by Sentinel energy.]]

** ''DOOM Eternal''[='s=] codex implies that the Abrahamic religions are among the faiths inspired by the Maykrs in the distant past. However, it turns out that the Maykrs themselves are deliberately letting entire worlds fall to Hell so they can use the resultant Argent Energy to avoid undergoing the Transfiguration.

Known also as the "Supreme Maker", the Khan Maykr is the ruler of the Maykrs' homeworld, Urdak. She is the main antagonist of ''DOOM Eternal'', and while that fact is clear from her first appearance, her nature and her past with the Doom Slayer are slowly revealed to the player as the game goes on.

A new enemy in ''DOOM Eternal'', the Maykr Drones are the servants of the Khan Maykr, existing as literal extensions of her will, and are the main population of Urdak, the Maykr homeworld.

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: He's the right-hand of the ''DOOM'' universes equivalent to ''God''. While he is mostly acting as the ManBehindTheMan for most of the series, he proves to be a terrifyingly powerful opponent come ''The Ancient Gods'', fully capable of facing down and fighting ''The Doom Slayer''.

[[caption-width-right:350:Blood Maykr in ''DOOM Eternal'']]

* TheGhost: He's mentioned in the Slayer's Testament ApocalypticLog in ''DOOM'', but never seen. You only get to meet him properly in ''DOOM Eternal''.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He is given no name in ''DOOM'', only being referred to as "The Betrayer". Similarly, the subtitles when you meet with him in ''Eternal'' only call him "Betrayer" as well. [[spoiler:The codex reveals his name to be Valen.]]

* TheGhost: As a figure from the distant past, he is only mentioned in ''DOOM Eternal''[='s=] codex.

* FallenAngel: [[spoiler: All the Maykrs are this when it is revealed that they betray their creator, who is revealed to be Davoth]].

!Argenta

[[folder:In General]]
The HumanAlien natives of the world of Argent D'Nur, who have ties to both the Slayer's past and the very origin of Argent Energy. They were invaded by Hell and taken over, shortly after a civil war and an unexpected betrayal.

** The Doom Slayer can come across a giant, unarmoured body of a Maykr while escaping Urdak, which shows that the "angels" are not any different in appearances to the demons, their antithesis. [[spoiler:The Khan Maykr's true appearance just further cements that fact, if it is not already corrupted by the Icon of Sin like her brethren.]]

* ImpartialPurposeDrivenFaction: The Seraphs are this. Originally only answering to the Father and no one else, the Father, to prevent them seeking power, commanded that they would answer any one who reached the Luminarium equally and without bias or favour. Thus anyone who reaches the Luminarium with a life sphere to be resurrected will be served without question, even if the person in question is [[spoiler:the one that destroyed Urdak, and the life sphere is the '''Dark Lord of Hell's''']].

** Jesus. No, really, that Jesus, was a figure of worship who was made with inspiration from Urdak according to the game. In the Bible, it's said that his painful death was a sacrifice, meant to repent for mankind's sins and give it a second chance. Here the roles are reversed. Humans and other sapient creatures are tortured, killed and have their souls extracted by demons in order to produce energy for the Maykrs.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: As it turns out, the Maykrs are responsible for pretty much '''''everything wrong in the series.''''' [[spoiler:They were created by Davoth, who was the original first Being in creation, creator of the rest of existence, and the all-powerful Father. The Maykrs were created by him to find the secret to Immortality so that he could gift it to all his creations, as mortal flesh was unable to handle an undying spirit. The Maykrs eventually found it. However, they judged that it was too dangerous to be given to Davoth, as they had come to believe that he would be a threat to all life. So they betrayed him, took most of his godly power and the secret to Immortality, sealed the realm of Jekkad, used the stolen power to ascend one of their own as The Father, then rewrote their history to hide the truth that Davoth ever existed, that he was God, and that the Maykrs betrayed him. However, this great betrayal from his creations, taking his power, name, achievements and his life's dream from him drove Davoth so mad with rage that he became the Dark Lord, warping the realm of Jekkad and his people into Hell, and fuelled his multiversal-genocidal rampage, turning him into the threat of existence the Maykrs tried to stop.]] ''[[SarcasmMode Great Job, guys, really]]''.
* NoBiologicalSex: There doesn't seem to be any features that distinguish male from female Maykrs, aside from the Khan Maykr, who appears to have something resembling breasts and a feminine voice.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: They may invoke LightIsNotGood [[spoiler: and StarfishAliens when you see the Khan Maykr’s face]], but as far as we’ve seen, they’re the closest thing the ''Doom'' universe has to actual angels, even downright to living in a Heaven-like world and having being created by an apparently god-like figure, the Father. They even get directly referred to as “angels” and “angelic” multiple times in the story. It's believed in they are the basis for concepts like heaven and angelic beings across countless cultures and that they've manipulated those cultures into worshipping them. In The Ancient Gods Part 1, the Seraphs, who are Maykrs, are direct helpers and assisstants to [[{{God}} The Father]] , and even travel to the physical world to do his will. They are even called "angelic" and are bound to the will of The Father

** As ''Anicent Gods'' reveals, [[spoiler: the Seraphs, the first Maykrs of the Father, had the power to revive anything as long as they had a life sphere and said being had a strong enough will to survive the process.]]

** [[spoiler: It is revealed that the Maykrs are just an alien race that has a deal with Hell to give up planets for them to conquer and in turn get provided the energy it produces to save their dying world. Yet to her dying breath she seems to believe they are an angelic race and going against them is blasphemy.]]

* BigBad: Of ''Doom Eternal.'' She is the one who sent the demons to invade Earth, and the master of the three Hell Priests that are directing the demonic invasion. While the Icon Of Sin is the actual FinalBoss, he has basically no characterization and is just a monster, and was summoned by Khan Maykr to start with.

* DealWithTheDevil: She made one in secret with the [[spoiler:[[{{Satan}} Dark Lord]], the ruler of Hell: The Maykrs will give Hell access to various worlds under their purview to systematically farm souls from to power Hell and the Demons as part of a ViciousCycle, as well as the technology to refine those souls with Hell and Sentinel energy to create Argent energy. In return, Hell does not invade Urdak, Hell only takes the souls of sinners to become Demons, while souls of the "true Believers" are sent to Urdak along with a majority of the Argent energy so the Maykrs may further prosper and find more worlds to sacrifice to Hell. Furthermore, unless dictated otherwise, Hell is only to farm the Souls of a majority of the species, not assimilate the whole world, in order to allow the species to survive and recover from the invasion, so that they may be farmed again later]].
* DeaderThanDead: When the Khan dies, the orb in her stomach flies into the sky and then explodes. Come ''The Ancient Gods'', we get info that all but names that orb as a life sphere, which could be used to ressurect her in the Luminerium. With it destroyed, there's no way she's coming back.

** It's safe to say she's not the PurityPersonified that she wants to give off. She might have started out that way, but the loss of The Father meant she had to resort to despicable means to continue on surviving.

* FantasticRacism: If her words to the Doom Slayer are of any indication, she ''really'' doesn't have a very good view on humanity. She thinks that mankind is mere servants to her beliefs, and wants to destroy them by means of directing a demon invasion of Earth so that their souls can be used to save ''her'' world.

* HiveQueen: Khan Maykrs are the leaders of the Maykr collective, and all other Maykrs ultimately bound to their will. However, individual Khans are ''supposed'' to be temporary, with new ones generating and replacing the old ones to keep the Maykrs from stagnating. The disappearance of the Father, the progenitor of the Maykrs, has caused the process to fail, and allowed this particular Khan Maykr to reign for much longer than normal and eventually leading her to make a deal with Hell.

** On a longer time of a degree, simply inducting the Doom Slayer into the Night Sentinels personally was the wrong choice in the long-term, unknowingly throwing a SpannerInTheWorks into her future plans she hadn't even made at the time yet.

* MoralMyopia: She has no problem [[spoiler: [[DealWithTheDevil being in cahoots with the demons]] and condemning countless innocent lives, to both prevent Urdak from being invaded and to profit from the power of Argent energy]]. But, when the Slayer makes moves to stop the demon invasion of Earth to save his people, which [[spoiler:ends up depriving both Hell and Urdak their source of Argent energy, thus culminating in the destruction of her world]], she [[YouMonster angrily brands him a selfish monster]] and condescendingly preaches that the death of his people is for "the greater good", [[TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies all while being willfully ignorant of her own seething]] FantasticRacism.

* PragmaticVillainy: Part of her deal [[spoiler:with Hell was that the invaded species not be completely wiped out, but only so they can eventually recover and be reused as fuel. But it becomes Double Subverted once the Doom Slayer kills the Hell Priests, and she's forced to releases the Icon of Sin to destroy the whole world. The loss of which, [[NeverMyFault she blames on the Doom Slayer]]]].

** The Maykr Drones are classified as "fodder" demons (alongside imps and zombies), but unlike other demons of the same class, their bodies are heavily armoured, making body shots do much less damage. Tellingly, they're also the only fodder type enemy that requires a fully fueled chainsaw to cut down.

Revered figures who serve as speakers for the Khan Maykr, they are generally assigned as overseers and advisors amongst Maykr-controlled worlds.

* AffablyEvil: We don't see them do much aside following the Khan Maykr's schemes and being courteous to the Slayer.

* EvilChancellor: Serve as advisors on Maykr controlled worlds, pushing the rulers there to spread their empire and find more worlds to have Hell destroy.

* StaffOfAuthority: Higher ranked Maykrs who carry golden staffs, unlike the lower-ranked Maykr Drones.

->''"We have been allies for some time now. I knew who you were the moment you set foot in our world and who you could become to us. I brought you to the Divinity Machine, and gave you your power. Where would all of this be now had I not had the foresight to create... you. Your "gifts" are owed to us now. Repay the Father for all he has granted us both by returning him to his throne - and then, he will save us all."''

* BodyHorror: His transfigured form is hardly easy on the eyes, his body now entirely organic in appearance and taking on a PurpleIsPowerful coloration. He has [[EyesDoNotBelongThere a very prominent slit eye]] below his ribcage, while his own eye-slit has now become orange and in-between two distinctive holes in his head that almost look like eyesockets. He has rather bony arms, with large spikes protruding up from the shoulders beneath the skin. His face is no longer humanoid, having been twisted into a more bestial maw with what looks like fully exposed brain atop his head, and his fingers had fused into three-digit claws. He has now also grown Khan Maykr-esque wings out of his body, the bones of which can be heard ''cracking and crunching into place'' before his fight.
* TheChessmaster: His stealing of the Father led to the Khan Maykr making a deal with Hell and using Argent Energy to make both realms prosperous. He also manipulated the Doom Slayer ever since the Unholy Wars, ensuring that the Maykrs would become the Doom Slayer's enemy due to allying with the Demons and the Slayer would have the strength to defeat them through the Divinity Machine he used on him. He thus is free to return to Urdak unopposed in ''The Ancient Gods''. What he ultimately is scheming towards is unknown, only that he seems to want the demons and Maykrs out of his way. As Samuel Hayden, he also manipulated the Doom Slayer to defeat Olivia Pierce's cult and the Demons on Mars, and to retrieve for him the demonic Crucible from Hell, allowing him to continue his Argent research and production and his plans to develop synthetic Argent Energy. All of which during an [[PostPeakOil energy crisis on Earth]] that caused him to be looked by humanity as a legendary saviour with his technology.
* CyberCyclops: He has a single glowing blue slit where his eyes should be. All Seraphims have these, and Samur's manmade robotic body had a similar eye for a reason. It becomes orange by the time of his boss fight.
* TheDragon: He is this twofold to the Father. First by being one of the Seraph, the Father's first Urdak creations who helped him build, research and carried out his will. The second for being the most favoured and trusted of the Seraphs, to the point where he's considered the Father's Right Hand.

* GoodIsNotNice: Samur is mostly well-intentioned, and genuinely concerned with the fate of the universe, alongside the well-being of the others Maykrs and even humanity. He's also a ManipulativeBastard, TheUnfettered, and ruthless to the absolute highest degree.
* HeroAntagonist: He was this throughout much of Doom 2016, due to him being Samuel Hayden. He becomes this again after the Doom Slayer takes the Dark Lord's life sphere. He later confronts the Slayer in Urdak, refusing to let him revive the Dark Lord and put all of reality at risk.

** This even extends so far as his relationship to ''The Father.'' While it was originally at The Father's behest that Samur take him from Urdak, Samur reduced him to his servant as an amnesiac VEGA while playing the role of Samuel Hayden, and twice was content leaving VEGA to die, both scenarios of which Hayden himself orchestrated.[[note]]Destroying VEGA's core on Mars, which would have been the end of him had The Slayer not backed him up into the Praetor Suit, and then leaving VEGA behind on Urdak when the seal upon it broke allowing demonkind to take it by storm.[[/note]] He only regards The Father with ''any'' due reverence when he begins succumbing to transfiguration and has no other recourse than to use The Father to save his own skin.

** While it is clear he's a bit nicer than the other Maykrs, he becomes a bit more ambiguous in motivation when he stole the Father from the Maykrs, preventing them from resurrecting themselves after their physical and mental degradation, and preventing a new Khan from being created to replace the current one. This ultimately leads to the Khan Maykr making a deal with Hell to sacrifice all the worlds under Urdak's guidance to the demons so that the souls may be turned into Argent Energy keep the Maykrs alive and prosperous.

* PowerEchoes: What he ''really'' sounds like after leaving his human/cyborg form - still deep and smooth, but far more reverberated and echoey. It gets even moreso in his final fight.

* TokenHeroicOrc: Somewhat. The Hooded Figure is a Maykr, who antagonize the Doom Slayer and Earth throughout ''Eternal''. Yet, he aided the Doom Slayer into becoming what he is now, seemingly in spite of not only Hell but eventually the Khan Maykr herself given the context of his words and his haste.
* TookALevelInJerkass: It's subtle but noticeable that, while he was still a ManipulativeBastard, as Hayden he was more generally respectful and did have an overall charisma to himself that painted him more as an WellIntentionedExtremist if anything. Once he returns to his actual body however, he very apparently holds a measure of superiority and a mild resentment towards lesser beings in the way he talks—[[BullyingTheDragon especially towards the Slayer]], talking down to him as simply ''his creation'' and little more as he goaded him on to fulfill their mission.

* UnwittingPawn: ''The Ancient Gods: Part Two'' reveals that [[spoiler:turning the Doomguy into the Doom Slayer wasn't his or the Father's idea at all, but a clever manipulation done by Davoth through a [[DreamingOfThingsToCome prophetic dream]] that had him believe the Khan Maykr will lead their kind (and all of creation subsequently without the Maykr's guidance) to ruin, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero an action that he instead caused himself]] by making the Slayer at Davoth's behest unbeknownst to him until the Slayer [[KillTheGod destroyed]] The Father's life sphere, completing Davoth's revenge.]]

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Even before their society was [[spoiler:corrupted by Hell]], [[BloodKnight a lot of their culture was centered around the battle, for better or worse]], and they worshipped strength and bravery to the point where AsskickingLeadsToLeadership and vice versa, MightMakesRight. In fact, their way to deal with prisoners and criminals is to have them fight in a public arena, possibly to the death, and apparently being a stranger counts as a crime. Those who survive get to be conscripted into their military to serve under the Maykrs.

* VichyEarth: A few parts of Argent D'Nur still populated by Argenta, but its people are completely subordinate to the [[spoiler:Hell Priests and Maykrs]].

The Night Sentinels were the warrior elite of Argent D'Nur, and fought alongside the Doom Slayer against the armies of Hell in ages past.

A disgraced Night Sentinel that made a [[DealWithTheDevil deal]] wth the demons to facilitate Hell's conquest of Argent D'Nur in return for the resurrection of his deceased son. [[JackassGenie In their own twisted way of fulfilling their end of the bargain]], the demons brought back the Betrayer's son as the Icon of Sin, leading the Betrayer to exile himself within Hell as atonement.

* ChekhovsGun: Gives it to you, in the form of a handheld device he tosses at you before you leave with what you came for. He hints that you will need it to grant [[CameBackWrong his son]]'s heart peace at last... [[spoiler:it turns out to be literal, as the heart means his ''actual'' heart, and the device is a ritual switchblade-esque knife; plunging it into the Icon's heart is vital to finally derail the Khan's ritual]].

* ExactWords: The Betrayer wanted his son revived. Unfortunately, he didn't specify as ''what''.

The ruler of Sentinel Prime and the leader of the Sentinels, as well the last King of Argent D'Nur, before it was consumed by Hell.

* BadassBoast: While he may chastise the Doom Slayer for going against the current order by going after the Hell Priests, all of whom are still considered Sentinels because of their bloodline, he holds a high opinion of him as evident by his words at the beginning of ''Eternal.''

A group of... [[EldritchAbomination beings]] that were the first lifeforms to arise on Argent D'Nur. The Night Sentinels worshiped them before the Maykrs showed up.

* GoodIsNotNice: They may have been revered by the Sentinels, but they are absolutely not to be trifled with. Sentinel scripture often use words like "mercurial" or "tempestuous" to refer to them, and their "Wraith-Call" could drive people mad (Nevermind creating [[DeathWorld Argent D'Nur's unforgiving biosphere]]). Worshipping them was as much gratitude as it was appeasement.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: He's the right-hand of the ''DOOM'' universes equivalent to ''God''. While he is mostly acting as the ManBehindTheMan for most of the series, he proves to be a terrifyingly powerful opponent come ''The Ancient Gods'', fully capable of facing down and fighting ''The Doom Slayer''.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Even before their society was [[spoiler:corrupted by Hell]], [[BloodKnight a lot of their culture was centered around the battle, for better or worse]], and they worshipped strength and bravery to the point where AsskickingEqualsAuthority and vice versa, MightMakesRight. In fact, their way to deal with prisoners and criminals is to have them fight in a public arena, possibly to the death, and apparently being a stranger counts as a crime. Those who survive get to be conscripted into their military to serve under the Maykrs.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: In general, their culture had a strong emphasis placed on honor, combat prowess, and AsskickingEqualsAuthority. They believed Urdak to have a [[WarriorHeaven special place for warriors]], and even the lowest members of their society were able to rise to greatness through sheer guts and combat prowess.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: They were big on this; the most capable warrior in their ranks was naturally seen as the fittest to lead. [[spoiler:This naturally means that Doomguy became their king by default until he kills Deag Grav.]]

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Implied; due to Sentinel law, only the mightiest warrior can rule Sentinel Prime, thus Novik is suggested to be incredibly powerful. Even the Doom Slayer kneels to Novik when the former is chastised for taking the Celestial Locator in order to find and kill the Hell Priests.

A disgraced Night Sentinel that facilitated Hell's conquest of Argent D'Nur in return for the resurrection of his deceased son. [[DealWithTheDevil In their own twisted way of fulfilling their end of the bargain]], the demons brought back the Betrayer's son as the Icon of Sin, leading the Betrayer to exile himself within Hell as atonement.

* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler: He makes a comeback to aid the Slayer and the Night Sentinels in ''The Ancient Gods: Part Two.'']]

* PayEvilUntoEvil: In order to orchestrate the Slayer's war on Urdak, Samur under the guise of Samuel Hayden opened Argent siphons on Mars and wormholes to Hell on Earth, under the guise of combating an energy crisis -- when in reality the aim was to get demonkind and the Kahn Mayker to target Earth and incite the Slayer's wrath. This directly resulted in a mass slaughter of most of mankind, [[ItsAllAboutMe not that Samur]] [[AMillionIsAStatistic showed signs of losing sleep over it.]] The Slayer, however, [[DeathGlare makes his immediate distaste for this turn of events known.]] Samur's callously manipulative and treacherous nature earns him his one salvation from corruption crushed before his eyes, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown a merciless and well-deserved beatdown at the Slayer's hands]], and to top it all off is denied even the mercy of death from a fate that WordOfGod says will have him [[FateWorseThanDeath ending up as a Cthulhu-esque abomination.]]

* AngelicAbomination: The Doom Slayer can come across a giant, unarmoured body of a Maykr while escaping Urdak, which shows that the "angels" are not any different in appearances to the demons, their antithesis. [[spoiler:The Khan Maykr's true appearance just further cements that fact, if it is not already corrupted by the Icon of Sin like her brethren.]]

* HiveMind: Nearly all of the Maykr are incapable of acting against the will of their Khan Maykr, with the rare exception in the case of [[DefectorFromDecadence the Seraphim]].

* {{Irony}}: ''DOOM Eternal''[='s=] codex implies that the Abrahamic religions are among the faiths inspired by the Maykrs in the distant past. However, it turns out that the Maykrs themselves are deliberately letting entire worlds fall to Hell so they can use the resultant Argent Energy to avoid undergoing the Transfiguration.

* ResurrectiveImmortality: They have a type of this. The Maykrs of old were incredibly long-lived, but they would eventually undergo a form of physical and mental degradation in a process known as "the Transfiguration". They dealt with this with a method where they will willingly die and then be resurrected anew by the Father, being no worse for wear. However, [[HaveYouSeenMyGod after the Father went missing]], the Maykrs were left unable to perform the Transfiguration, which eventually led to the Khan Maykr making the deal with Hell for Argent Energy, which stalls their degradation indefinitely instead.

* BelievingTheirOwnLies: [[spoiler: It is revealed that the Maykrs are just an alien race that has a deal with Hell to give up planets for them to conquer and in turn get provided the energy it produces to save their dying world. Yet to her dying breath she seems to believe they are an angelic race and going against them is blasphemy.]]

* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Pushed to desperation as the Slayer begins to [[SpannerInTheWorks seriously jeopardize her plans]], [[spoiler:she is forced to bring [[SatanicArchetype the Icon of Sin]] back to life in an attempt to railroad everything back on track, but in so doing, she spells her own demise as it leads the Slayer directly to Urdak where he also derails the ritual meant to leash the Icon of Sin to their command, which allows the Icon to not only cause massive damage to Urdak, it ''breaks'' the ExactWords clause of their pact that the Maykrs made with Hell, allowing a full-scale demonic invasion to finally attack their world, which ultimately ends in the Khan Maykr's death and the destruction of the Maykr people.]]

* HeavilyArmoredMook: The Maykr Drones are classified as "fodder" demons (alongside imps and zombies), but unlike other demons of the same class, their bodies are heavily armoured, making body shots do much less damage. Tellingly, they're also the only fodder type enemy that requires a fully fueled chainsaw to cut down.

A mysterious cloaked individual, Samur Maykr is the very "Seraphim" who empowered the Doom Slayer with great strength and speed to aid in his war with the forces of Hell, seemingly against the wishes of the Khan Maykr herself. ''The Ancient Gods'' confirms that he is the original identiy of Dr. Samuel Hayden.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: As it turns out, the Maykrs are responsible for pretty much '''''[[UpToEleven everything wrong in the series]].''''' [[spoiler:They were created by Davoth, who was the original first Being in creation, creator of the rest of existence, and the all-powerful Father. The Maykrs were created by him to find the secret to Immortality so that he could gift it to all his creations, as mortal flesh was unable to handle an undying spirit. The Maykrs eventually found it. However, they judged that it was too dangerous to be given to Davoth, as they had come to believe that he would be a threat to all life. So they betrayed him, took most of his godly power and the secret to Immortality, sealed the realm of Jekkad, used the stolen power to ascend one of their own as The Father, then rewrote their history to hide the truth that Davoth ever existed, that he was God, and that the Maykrs betrayed him. However, this great betrayal from his creations, taking his power, name, achievements and his life's dream from him drove Davoth so mad with rage that he became the Dark Lord, warping the realm of Jekkad and his people into Hell, and fuelled his multiversal-genocidal rampage, turning him into the threat of existence the Maykrs tried to stop.]] ''[[SarcasmMode Great Job, guys, really]]''.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: The only reason Urdak hasn't come under fire from demon invasion is twofold: one, it exists in opposite dimensional positioning to Hell, and secondly due to a protective seal over the entire realm. [[spoiler: The Khan Maykr singlehandedly ruins both of these protections: first by making Hell ''aware'' of Urdak in brokering a deal with its enigmatic dark lord, and secondly by having the [[SarcasmMode infinitely wise and intelligent idea]] of bringing the Icon of Sin ''to'' Urdak to awaken in an attempt to control, the one force of all demonkind powerful enough to render the seal inert by its mere presence there and allowing Hell to invade in earnest.]]

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: [[spoiler:The Codex inclines that the major reason why the Khan Maykr betrayed most of the Night Sentinels was out of fear of a prophesized threat known as "The Beast" in their midst, believing they would undo all of her machinations to keep her people and tyrannical rule alive by winning against Hell. Not only did she induct the Doom Slayer into the Night Sentinels after being impressed with his impossible survival in the Maykr's bloody slave arenas, but he ends up fulfilling the role of the prophecy by destroying the Maykrs once and for all ''because'' of the betrayal setting him up to finally be able to do so.]]

* LowCultureHighTech: The arrival of the Makyrs to their world took them from the Iron Age directly to an interstellar empire, and it shows, from their feudal MightMakesRight society to the weapons they wield, which are highly advanced energy weapons wearing the skin of swords, spears, and crossbows.

* HesBack: [[spoiler:The final battle for ''The Ancient Gods Part II'' shows the full might of the Night Sentinels, now seemingly free of the Khan Makyr and Hell Priests, emerge from portals to back up the Doom Slayer against the Dark Lord and his forces of Hell.]]

* HesBack: [[spoiler:The trailer for ''The Ancient Gods Part II'' shows the full might of the Night Sentinels, now seemingly free of the Khan Makyr and Hell Priests, emerge from portals to back up the Doom Slayer against the Dark Lord and his forces of Hell.]]
