* AmbiguouslyBrown: Less so than the Bandisar royal siblings. She almost passes for a [[FantasyCounterpartCulture fantasy equivalent]] of someone born of pure Egyptian/Arabian heritage, but she does have green eyes to complement her black hair and dark skin tone.

* DarkIsEvil: Wears black clothes + black helmet, and places an overwhelmingly dark aesthetic sense throughout his occupied territories, just to make it clear that means business.

* BadBoss: Downplayed. He's not above verbally abusing his lackeys, but he extend beyond that unless they give him good enough reason to resort to harsher methods. That said, he's also not above backstabbing them and cheating hired help out of their reward.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: Slowly forms one with Galtar over the course of the series, [[ClingyJealousGirl especially made evident]] when there’s a certain “third party” involved. She insists to herself that he’s just a “dear, dear friend”, but the dejected tone in her voice as she says this while [[LongingLook watching him]] ride off together with Rava (long story) hints otherwise. Of course, EveryoneCanSeeIt, including the ever-observant duo of Rak and Tuk... not to mention Rava herself (who actually [[MurderTheHypotenuse tries to do something]] about it).

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Zorn couldn't possibly be older than twelve, yet he's already seen action that no child of highborn status should ever be exposed to. Not that he and Goleeta have any choice on the matter...

* BadBoss: Downplayed. Though he does verbally abuse some of his lackeys whenever they fail him, he's not the type to go too far beyond that unless they [[BerserkButton give him a good reason to]]. On the other hand, he's also not above cheating hired help out of their reward...

* ColdHam: A deadly serious, no-nonsense man to be sure... but he's also known for issuing powerful commands and making dramatic threats through the sheer volume of his words alone.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Ruthless tyrant as he is, Tormack at least also seems to be genuinely fond of his niece, Rava... enough to give her leniency when she tried to usurp his throne. Rather than have her tortured (or worse) as one would expect for such an act of betrayal, he just puts her in jail alongside Rak and Tuk for about maybe a few weeks; no bruises or anything. Although, [[SubvertedTrope then again]], he also easily agrees to have her married off to a hideous slug creature in the following episode, all for the sake of being granted easy access to said creature's domain.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Zigzagged. Tormack isn't above double-crossing his own hired mercenaries (such as stifling them of their payment), but he also seems to value some of the people he works closely with. For example, he's reluctant to strike at Krimm when the latter willingly offers himself as a test subject to see the Sacred Shield's protective capabilities -- arguing that he can't afford to lose his most trusted advisor and sorcerer just for a brief demonstration. Then there's his seemingly endless patience when it comes to dealing with [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder the likes of]] Rak and Tuk, as well as his own equally treacherous niece, Rava...

Tormack's beautiful niece, whom he raised to carry the same fundamental "values" that have helped him reach such terrifying heights in life... for better or for worse. She has followed stories of her uncle's greatest enemy -- the barbarian warrior Galtar -- for some time, growing more and more fascinated with him by the day. Fiercely ambitious and conniving, she will do ''anything'' to get what her heart desires -- be it a kingdom to call her own, or the man of her dreams.

* DaddysLittleVillain: Tormack's upbringing has essentially made Rava his younger, sexier DistaffCounterpart when it comes to scheming and usurping her way to success. But as the mighty conqueror would later find out, perhaps he taught her a [[EtTuBrute little too well]]...

* MurderTheHypotenuse: As part of her master plan to get Goleeta out of the way (so she could obtain the latter's kingdom ''and'' have Galtar all to herself), she sets up a duel between the two of them at a place called [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Nightmare Canyon]], where they'd try swinging at the same time across a collapsed bridge that's filled with [[SpikesOfDoom deadly spikes]] below. First one to reach the other end wins. Sounds fair enough... except Rava hired Rak and Tuk to sabotage Goleeta's rope beforehand, causing it to snap midway, and almost plummets to her doom. Galtar, thankfully, saves her just in the nick of time.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Rava's first order of business as Queen of Bandisar (following her successful [[TheCoup coup]] against Tormack) is to offer a captive Galtar the chance to regain freedom on the sole condition that he agrees to marry her and become her king. When he turns her down, Rava angrily demands to know if Goleeta's the reason why. Taking Galtar's silence as a "yes", she then promptly invokes the IfICantHaveYou clause...

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Old Rak is willing to work with all kinds of people from different factions, both good and bad, so long as he's given monetary recompense. He's also just as quick to betray them the moment someone else from the opposing side offers him a bigger purse.
