* FunnyAfro: Zatô has one that's dyed with his guild mark.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Lucy fears that Erigor will come back to take revenge after the Lullaby arc. However, he's never seen and barely even mentioned again in the manga after that. This is rectified in the anime thanks to a bit of AdaptationExpansion, where he reappears during the Nirvana arc to have a rematch with Natsu, and later in a {{Filler}} arc as a fully-fledged member of the Neo-Oración Seis.

* {{Mooks}}: They field the lesser dark guilds and troops directly under their command as this, though only the Oración Seis actually take advantage of this during their search for Nirvana. Grimoire Heart attacks Sirius Island with only the strength of their own guild backing them, while Tartaros decides to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness wipe out all of their subordinate guilds]] when they decide to put their plans to activate Face into motion.

A guild that ruled Magnolia prior to the establishment of Fairy Tail in the year X686. They were the predecessors of Phantom Lord.

[[folder:Blue Skull in General]]
* CreateYourOwnHero: If not for their theft of the Sirius Orb, Mavis (the treasure's guardian) and Yuri's team (who sought out the treasure for themselves) would never have formed their truce that ultimately results in the birth of Fairy Tail.
* EvilPowerVacuum: Even though the people of Magnolia were glad to be rid of Blue Skull once Mavis and her friends finally take them down, they realized that their regime provided some kind of economic stability for their city, meaning they would fall further into ruin without them. Fortunately, it was then Mavis decided to form Fairy Tail in its place.
* LackOfEmpathy: The members have destroyed entire towns and murdered many innocents, from the young to the elderly.
* PredecessorVillain: To Phantom Lord, which was formed specifically so Geoffrey and his descendants would be able to one day destroy the guild formed by those who destroyed his empire.

!!Geoffrey
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Takashi Matsuyama (Japanese), Jeffrey Schmidt (English)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/geoffrey_full.png]]

The guild master of Blue Skull. He is also the founder of the Phantom Lord guild, and the ancestor of its last known master, Jose Porla.
----
* ArcVillain: He is the driving antagonist of ''Fairy Tail Zero'', ordering the attack on Sirius Island that kills Zera and everyone else besides Mavis, and stealing the Sirius Orb that Mavis and the treasure hunters are after, [[CreateYourOwnHero resulting in the birth of Fairy Tail]].
* ArchEnemy: Previously served as one to Zeeself by virtue of their guilds' rivalry. He later becomes one to Fairy Tail, though this rivalry goes largely unseen.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Unlike the rest of Blue Skull, Mavis' plan for dealing with him completely dismissed the idea of the her group defeating him in a direct battle, hence choosing to trap him instead.
* BadassCape: It covers his entire body.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Before realizing he is looking at an illusion, he reacts with revulsion when it appears that Mavis had set all of Magnolia on fire, including the innocent townspeople.
* FacialMarkings: He wears skull-like face paint on all except the edges of his face.
* GogglesDoNothing: Wears goggles over his mask seemingly just for dramatic effect.
* IdenticalAncestor: He has the same facial build as his descendant, Jose.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite Blue Skull getting dismantled by the end of ''Zero'', Geoffrey remains free to start Phantom Lord, a legitimate guild, which indicates that he got away with ''all'' of the crap he pulled.
* MindOverMatter: His magic appears to be telekinesis on steroids. He was able to dispel Mavis' illusions with a flick of the wrist, and [[CatchAndReturn threw Yuri's Crystal Bomb right back at his face]] after it was thrown.
* OhCrap: When he realizes that he's finally been beaten, he tells Fairy Tail not to touch the Sirius Orb. Not because he doesn't want to lose it, but because touching it is a really bad idea, because the Sirius Orb is a textbook ArtifactOfDoom.
* OutGambitted: Despite seeing through Mavis's illusions, he eventually falls for one of them, not realizing it was an intentional decoy to distract him while he walked right into a cage which she and the others had erected for him.
* StarterVillain: He and Blue Skull were chronologically the first true enemies that Fairy Tail ever had.
* VillainousLegacy: He ends up proclaiming the foundation of Phantom Lord by the end of ''Zero'', up until its fall during the Phantom Lord arc under his direct descendant Jose.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has dark purple hair in the anime.

* {{Mooks}}: They field the lesser dark guilds and troops directly under their command as this, though only the Oración Seis actually took full advantage of this during their search for Nirvana. Grimoire Heart attacked Tenrou Island with only the strength of their own guild backing them, while Tartaros decided to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness wipe out at least one of their subordinate guilds]] when they decided to put their plans to activate Face into motion.
* NonIndicativeName: Although it's formally called an "alliance", it's more accurate to call it a non-aggression pact between the three guilds, since they barely even interact with each other.

The guild master of Blue Skull, who has possession of the stolen Sirius Orb. He ordered the attack on Red Lizard on Sirius Island. He is also the founder of the Phantom Lord guild, and the ancestor of its last known master, Jose Porla.

* ArcVillain: He is the driving antagonist of ''Fairy Tail Zero'', stealing the Sirius Orb that Mavis and the treasure hunters are after, [[CreateYourOwnHero resulting in the birth of Fairy Tail]].
* ArchEnemy: Previously, to Zeeself. He later becomes one to Fairy Tail.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Before realizing he was looking at an illusion, he reacted with revulsion as it appeared that Mavis had set all of Magnolia on fire, including [[KillEmAll the innocent townspeople]].

* KarmaHoudini: Despite Blue Skull no longer existing by the end of ''Zero'', Geoffrey remains free to start Phantom Lord, a legitimate guild, which indicates that he got away with ''all'' of the crap he pulled.
* MindOverMatter: His magic appears to be telekinesis on steroids. He was able to dispel Mavis' illusions with a flick of the wrist, and even [[CatchAndReturn threw Yuri's Crystal Bomb right back at his face after]] it was thrown.

* OutGambitted: He did eventually fall for one of Mavis' illusions; despite correctly identifying the illusion for what it was, he didn't realize that it was an intentional decoy. He thus walked right into a cage which she and the others had erected for him.
