Echo's psychotic and murderous SplitPersonality. Unlike Echo, she's obsessed with Vincent. She's later revealed to be the original owner of the body and she became insane as a result of the influence of her Chain Duldee.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She was initially unable to control her Chain, Duldee, forcing the Chain to create a SplitPersonality just to keep her sane. This made her an aberration in the eyes of her fellow Baskervilles, who then confined her in a cell.
* AxCrazy: Duldee's influence has made her batshit insane.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She loves Vincent because he was the only one to get close to her and don't treat her like a freak because of her SplitPersonality.
* BigSisterInstinct: Shortly before dying, Noise finally remembers what she ''really'' wanted was to protect Vincent and be there for him as a big sister.
* {{Bokukko}}: Uses the male pronoun ''Boku'' to refer to herself, in order to imitate Vincent. She goes back to using ''Watashi'' once she remembers her true wish to protect Vincent.
* BrokenBird: When Vincent met her, Noise was a sad and lonely girl who was forced to live in a cell due to being unable to control her Chain and developing a SplitPersonality as a result.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Noise kidnapped and seems to have being stabbing Ada for start being so close to Vincent.
* CommonalityConnection: With Vincent. They sympathized with each other because both were treated like aberrations by other people. Noise came to share Vincent's idea that if two "weird" people are together, then they wouldn't be "weird" anymore.
* CoolBigSis: What the original Noise was for Vincent. She wanted to care for him and protect him as a big sister. Duldee's influence, however, turned those feelings into a twisted obsession and Noise became the {{Yandere}} she's now.
%%* CuteAndPsycho
* DarkAndTroubledPast: When the Baskervilles realized she couldn't control her Chain, instead of breaking her contract, they locked her up and threw away the key. In all likelihood, this probably made things worse. She's only out now because the Abyss swallowed Sablier and everything in it, and the Baskervilles need her too much to lock her away again.
* DemonicPossession: The real Noise is actually possessed by Duldee. Echo frees Noise from Duldee shortly before both die.
* DyingAsYourself: Echo finally releases Noise from Duldee's control and she gets to remember her original wish to protect Vincent. Almost immediately afterwards, Noise's body disintegrates.
* EvilAlbino: Subverted. Noise turns out to not be evil; she's just possessed by Duldee.
%%* HellishPupils
* IfICantHaveYou: Due to Duldee's influence, Noise tries to kill Vincent so he can't belong to anyone else. Fortunately, Echo stops her and releases her from Duldee's control.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: When Echo severs Duldee's influence over her, Noise realizes that she only ever wanted to protect Vincent as a sister, but failed. She sees Ada comforting him and sees he's finally found someone who can help him be happy, allowing Noise to pass on in peace.
* MadLove: She's obsessed with Vincent and will do anything to have him for herself. Vincent, for his part, doesn't seem to care that much about Noise and takes advantage of her feelings to manipulate her.
* MeaningfulName: Noise, a sound louder than an echo, meaning that she's the dominant one. Also, her alias "Zwei" means "two" in German, signifying that more than one personality inhibits her body. Interestingly enough, she was the first personality, so logically Echo should be "Zwei" instead. However, since Echo is still a less warped version of the original Noise than the current Noise is...
* OlderThanSheLooks: She was alive before the Tragedy of Sablier, making her over 100 years old. She still looks like a young girl because the Baskervilles have a much longer lifespan.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: She can't remember her real name. "Noise" is the name Vincent chose for her as her other personality was named Echo.
* PowerIncontinence: Noise was unable to control her Chain Duldee, and was often possessed by her and forced to go off on violent rampages. This resulted in Noise's confinement from the outside world prior to the Tragedy of Sablier and Duldee creating the artificial personality Duldum/Echo to keep Noise sane.
* PreInsanityReveal: Noise wasn't always a murderous maniac. Before the Tragedy of Sablier, she was just a meek and fragile girl who was scared of completely losing her mind because of the influence of her Chain.
%%* PsychoForHire
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Echo's Blue Oni. Noise is loud, outspoken and bloodthirsty, while Echo is quiet, submissive and stoic. This is reflected by their clothes; Noise wears a blood-red cape and Echo wears a blue dress.
* {{Sadist}}: Her favourite thing is the pain of other people.
* SlasherSmile: She usually sports a psychotic, bloodthirsty grin on her face.
* SplitPersonalityMakeover: Echo has dead eyes, free flowing hair, dresses in uniform, has a calm/stale posture and a voice that is generally gentle/weak, though devoid of emotion. When turning into Noise her eyes go wild with ecstasy, she braids her hair with an ornament, strips of all clothing (dressing up in a nightgown and blood-red cape), moves as if she was the star of a play and shouts/screams her words.
* SplitPersonalityTakeOver: Retrace LXXXV shows Noise throwing Echo into the depths of her mind. Although Retrace LXXXIX reveals that Echo is in fact the split personality while Noise is the original owner of the body. So until Vincent ordered her to swap with Noise, ''Echo'' was the one taking over.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Long ago, she was a meek and lonely girl who wanted to protect her OnlyFriend Vincent as a big sister. Then Duldee corrupted her mind and Noise turned into the batshit crazy {{Yandere}} we know.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Unlike Echo, Noise is violent, sadistic and psychotic. Then it gets subverted when it's revealed Noise is merely under Duldee's influence.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Duldee is the main source of her power and psychotic behavior.
* {{Yandere}}: She will kill anyone who gets in her way of having Vincent for herself, be it Ada or Vincent himself. Subverted because Noise was only acting like that because of Duldee's influence.

Interestingly enough, she was the first personality, so logically Echo should be "Zwei" instead. However, since Echo is still a less warped version of the original Noise than the current Noise is...
* OlderThanSheLooks: She was alive before the Tragedy of Sablier, making her over 100 years old. She still looks like a young girl because the Baskervilles have a much longer lifespan.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: She can't remember her real name. "Noise" is the name Vincent chose for her as her other personality was named Echo.
* PowerIncontinence: Noise was unable to control her Chain Duldee, and was often possessed by her and forced to go off on violent rampages. This resulted in Noise's confinement from the outside world prior to the Tragedy of Sablier and Duldee creating the artificial personality Duldum/Echo to keep Noise sane.
* PreInsanityReveal: Noise wasn't always a murderous maniac. Before the Tragedy of Sablier, she was just a meek and fragile girl who was scared of completely losing her mind because of the influence of her Chain.
%%* PsychoForHire
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Echo's Blue Oni. Noise is loud, outspoken and bloodthirsty, while Echo is quiet, submissive and stoic. This is reflected by their clothes; Noise wears a blood-red cape and Echo wears a blue dress.
* {{Sadist}}: Her favourite thing is the pain of other people.
* SlasherSmile: She usually sports a psychotic, bloodthirsty grin on her face.
* SplitPersonalityMakeover: Echo has dead eyes, free flowing hair, dresses in uniform, has a calm/stale posture and a voice that is generally gentle/weak, though devoid of emotion. When turning into Noise her eyes go wild with ecstasy, she braids her hair with an ornament, strips of all clothing (dressing up in a nightgown and blood-red cape), moves as if she was the star of a play and shouts/screams her words.
* SplitPersonalityTakeOver: Retrace LXXXV shows Noise throwing Echo into the depths of her mind. Although Retrace LXXXIX reveals that Echo is in fact the split personality while Noise is the original owner of the body. So until Vincent ordered her to swap with Noise, ''Echo'' was the one taking over.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Long ago, she was a meek and lonely girl who wanted to protect her OnlyFriend Vincent as a big sister. Then Duldee corrupted her mind and Noise turned into the batshit crazy {{Yandere}} we know.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Unlike Echo, Noise is violent, sadistic and psychotic. Then it gets subverted when it's revealed Noise is merely under Duldee's influence.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Duldee is the main source of her power and psychotic behavior.
* {{Yandere}}: She will kill anyone who gets in her way of having Vincent for herself, be it Ada or Vincent himself. Subverted because Noise was only acting like that because of Duldee's influence.

[[folder:In General]]
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Even during their peaceful golden years their required LawfulNeutral position lead them to do some pretty messed up things for the sake of [[WellIntentionedExtremist keeping the world balanced and orderly]], including locking up and killing their own family members because an old lady EldritchAbomination who lived in their basement told them to.
* TheChosenMany: The reason why they're Baskervilles is not because of blood ties but rather because of being chosen by the lights of the Abyss, later revealed to be sent by the Jury.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Many of them, namely Fang, Doug, and possibly Lottie, really aren't that bad, except for the fact that they're unflinchingly loyal to the BigBad. And then it turns out that they didn't serve the the BigBad, but were each a HeroAntagonist all along.
** Moreso morally gray antagonist. Though some of their early actions can be sympathized with, many of them get to a point where their actions are hardly anymore justifiable than Jack's.
* FiveBadBand: The five named Baskervilles (sans [[PosthumousCharacter Lacie]]) form one of these, although there are more Baskervilles than just the five of them.
** BigBad: Glen/Oswald Baskerville. Zigzagged later and ultimately averted; Oswald was not the one who started the Tragedy but had [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped so far off the Slippery Slope]] anyways that he stays an antagonist up until his final chapter (just a more sympathetic one).
** TheDragon: Lottie -- Though Glen seems to place quite a bit of trust in potentially useful non-Baskervilles (namely Rufus Barma, Vincent Nightray, and Xai Vessalius), Lottie seems to be just below him in the Baskervilles' internal hierarchy.
** TheEvilGenius: Fang -- Though more of a GeniusBruiser than a MadScientist, he seems to be the most intelligent one of his companions, and from what little we've seen of him, he's a capable tactician.
** TheBrute: Doug -- While he breaks the stereotype by possessing intelligence and lacking a cruel streak, he doesn't seem to have much authority in the Baskervilles and seems to be more Lottie's bodyguard than anything.
** TheDarkChick: Lily
* HeroAntagonist: Zigzagged. They start out the story as menacing assassins, but their actions are given more sympathetic explanations halfway through the story. However, despite their initially noble cause, they're willing to do some seriously shady things to get what they want and don't often care for the human lives it will cost. This becomes important in the climax, where when choosing between Jack's and Oswald's options of how to deal with TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, the protagonists TakeAThirdOption, as both Jack's and Oswald's are equally unacceptable to them.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: At first. But they lose their moral high ground pretty quickly in the current era, slipping into WellIntentionedExtremist.
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Their connection to the Abyss means they distort the world around them, and this is all the more true for those chosen to be Glen Baskerville's vessel. There's a lot of downsides about it not even Baskervilles knew of, too, like the fact that they weren't actually chosen by the Abyss, but by the Juries to act as their personal enforcement squad to kill anything the Jury couldn't control, including members of their own families.
* KickTheDog: After Glen left for Sablier, all of the Baskervilles besides Lottie and Doug [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown began to beat the captive Break, and even Sharon]].
* SuperToughness: Being more Chain than human, the only powers related to the Abyss can mortally wound them.

[[folder:Glen Baskerville [[spoiler: / Oswald Baskerville]]]]
->Voiced by: Creator/KisshoTaniyama
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/72072_2152.jpg]]
The enigmatic leader of the Baskervilles and the one who caused the Tragedy of Sabliér. [[SilentScapegoat Or so we thought]]. Based on the Red King from Through the Looking-Glass.
* {{Adorkable}}: Just look at him at that time when he squeezes his cheeks bemusedly after Jack says that he's looking sterner than normal.
* AloofBigBrother: To Lacie.
* TheAtoner: He attempted to atone for killing Lacie by taking care of her daughter, Alice.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: It was his job to dig up dirt on everyone and anyone before he became Glen. Jack is understandably shocked when Oswald deconstructs and explains his existence to Levi when they first meet.
%%* BadassLongRobe
* BattleButler: To Levi, the previous Glen.
* BerserkButton:
** He ''does not'' react well when Jack suggests bringing Lacie back from the dead.
** He totally loses it when he finds out that Jack tried to plunge the world into the Abyss and ruin his party. At one point he straight up ''slaughters'' a couple dozen people for ''saying Jack's name.''
* BigBad: It was assumed that he was the one behind the Tragedy of Sabliér until it was revealed Jack was the one who did it, and Glen wasn't all that bad.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He cared a lot about his sister Lacie. Later subverted when he plans to go back to the past and kill her in order to prevent the Tragedy of Sabliér and then DoubleSubverted since at the end he realizes he can't bring himself to kill Lacie.
%%* {{Bishounen}}
* BreakTheCutie: The days when he and Lacie could be found racketeering all over the Baskerville mansion are long gone.
* TheComicallySerious: Consider how often he keeps his poker face in otherwise hilarious scenes.
* CoolUncle: While he didn't get along with Alyss, his niece Alice adored him so much that she named her beloved stuffed rabbit after him.
* FeatherMotif: Black feathers, like the Five Black-Feathered Chains he controls.
* GrandTheftMe: As of Retrace LXXVIII, Glen's consciousness has fully taken over Leo, now that all Sealing Stones are destroyed. Glen has also remarked that Leo doesn't even have the strength to fight against his influence.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Levi, seemingly, as Oswald was Levi's attendant before the former became Glen. Oswald also seem to feed Levi information pertaining to nobles that attended Baskerville banquets and balls. As the Glen candidate, he was always by Levi's side.
* HiddenDepths: His expressions have now extended to THREE ranges: the poker face, the shocked face and the 'I've just totally lost it' face. We even get a tiny smile now and then. Plus, he genuinely cares for Alice and Gilbert. When he realizes that Sablier will be thrown into the Abyss, he immediately thinks about what he can do to save as many people as possible. Glen has clearly asserted himself as a very different character as opposed to the individual he was first introduced as.
* {{Immortality}}: A mix of BodySurf, LegacyImmortality and FromASingleCell, though the latter doesn't work with Abyss-related powers. Interrupting the ceremony also triggered ResurrectiveImmortality, and subsequently, GrandTheftMe on Leo.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Never directly stated, but very much implied. Levi describes him as popular, but Jack says that Glen was often found in solidarity. He composes his own melodies and it appears as though Gilbert often found him in his study whenever he couldn't sleep. Brainy but lonely, our Glen is.
* ItsAllMyFault: He blames himself for Lacie being a Child of Misfortune.
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Being the leader of the powerful Baskervilles isn't as great as it sounds. On top of distorting the world around him even more than usual for a Baskerville, poor Oswald was unlucky enough to end up making his sister Lacie a [[ApocalypseMaiden Child of Misfortune.]] Of course, with the revelation that the Baskervilles were created to kill [[SpannerInTheWorks spanners]] like the Children of Misfortune, it may well be the other way around.
* JapanesePronouns: Watashi.
* KillTheOnesYouLove: As part of his role as Glen, he had to send his beloved sister Lacie to the Abyss. Later, he plans to travel back in time and kill her younger self so that the Tragedy of Sabliér never happens, but in the end he realizes he can't do it.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: It is believed he caused the Tragedy of Sabliér when he lost his love Lacie to the Abyss. Subverted as it turns out that everything that happened to "him" actually happened to ''Jack'' instead.
* MeaningfulName: Think of how it's pronounced: '''Oz'''wald. [[WeNamedTheMonkeyJack It turns out Oz was named after him.]] Plus, Oswald, broken down into its two elements, means 'os' (god) and wald (rule). Oswald has been described as king of the emissaries of the Abyss on occasion and his character is based upon the Red King from Alice in Wonderland.
* MercyKill: Ordered the massacre at Sabliér in a last, desperate attempt to save the citizens from being pulled into the Abyss. If he couldn't save them from the Tragedy, he'd at least save their souls from being cut off from the 100 year cycle of rebirth.
* MistakenForGay: Mentions that he finds Jack fascinating. An amused Levi thought he meant this in a romantic sense.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: He knocks Jack out seconds after the latter reunites with and embraces Lacie. In the Pandora Hearts Volume 22 Drama CD, he disapproves of Levi being in love with Lacie.
* ObliviousToLove: Oswald is a little too clueless about Miranda Barma's and Lottie's attentions...
* ParentalSubstitute: To Alice and Gil.
%%* PosthumousCharacter
%%* PurpleEyes
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Has this effect with the red Baskerville robe and his black outfit. Then it's subverted, since he wasn't a villain in the true backstory and during his time as an antagonist in the modern era he wears only black.
* SanitySlippage: The Tragedy of Sablier ''screwed him up.'' Unlike other survivors, though, he dealt with it by getting hung up over revenge.
* TheScapegoat: He is believed to be the evil mastermind that sent Sablier into the Abyss and was stopped by the hero Jack. Then it's revealed ''Jack'' was the one who tried to send the world into the Abyss and Oswald was merely framed for it after the Tragedy.
* SetRightWhatOnceWasWrong: After possessing Leo, he sets his goal as travelling back to the past and killing Lacie in order to prevent the Tragedy from ever happening. He is also very willing to kill Oz (and subsequently, Jack) to stop them from interfering. Subverted, though, as Rufus points out that he's only ''claiming'' to be trying to right wrongs, and in reality is motivated by revenge. In the end, he manages to go back in time, but can't bring himself to kill his sister.
* ShipTease: He and Lottie were broached as a possible pairing. Then Miranda muscled in on the plot and that ship burned before it left the harbor.
* ShootTheDog: Upon becoming the next Glen Baskerville, he was forced to send his sister Lacie into the Abyss. And to prevent the next tragedy, he tries to execute Oz, someone he admitted earlier was just an unfortunate, pitiful existence.
* SoProudOfYou: He and Gil have a moment that messes up your grey cells. Gil has just shot Oz on Oswald's orders, seems to be down with a severe case of PTSD and Oswald ends up patting him on the shoulder and saying that he's happy Gil is still his servant.
* SpiritAdvisor: Along with the previous Glens, he was this towards Leo, though, the latter didn't really appreciate the help, considering how the voices established his status as "the weird one", and eventually was able to get them blocked out. At least for the time being.
%%* TheStoic
* SugarAndIcePersonality: As stoic and aloof as he might be, he has a clear soft spot for his dear sister Lacie.
%%* TallDarkAndHandsome
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He was this in the past but ultimately subverts the "well-intentioned" part in the present. He managed to avert the end of the world all those years ago, (even if averting it involved [[MercyKill murdering everyone in the city]]), but despite his initially noble intentions for this horrible act, it's revealed his actions in the modern era (having [[DevotedToYou Gilbert]] shoot Oz during his HeroicBSOD, slaughtering scores of people for saying Jack's name, going back in time to stop Jack from meeting Lacie by killing his sister) are motivated by revenge.

[[folder:Levi Baskerville]]
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/levi1_8582.jpg]]
The former Glen Baskerville, preceding Oswald. He impregnated Lacie as part of an experiment and is the father of both Alice and the Intention of the Abyss. When he died, he became the chain Humpty Dumpty.
%%* {{Bishounen}}
* DisappearedDad: He died shortly after the birth of his daughters, the Alice twins.
* DissonantSerenity
** He frequently does this, such as when warning Jack Vessalius that he could have him killed and nobody would notice.
** Another example is when he explains to a young Lacie about [[DeaderThanDead her]] [[YourDaysAreNumbered fate]] without having the smile on his face waver.
* ForScience: He impregnated Lacie as part of an experiment: to see if her child could become a host for the Core of the Abyss and how this factor would affect the immortal Baskervilles.
* HellishPupils: Oh yes. There have been hints here and there that indicate they weren't always that way, though.
%%* {{Immortality}}
* ItAmusedMe: He tells Leo he doesn't care about the consequences his actions have as long as they keep him entertained.
%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* LukeIAmYourFather: Was the father of the Alice twins.
%%* MysticalWhiteHair
* PurpleEyes: He controls ''five'' incredibly powerful Chains and is in charge of protecting the Abyss. Naturally, Alice and Intention of the Abyss inherited their eye color from him.
* SpiritAdvisor: See Oswald above.
* WalkingSpoiler: His existence is an indication of the fact that Glen Baskerville is not a normal human.
* WasOnceAMan: Then he rotted into what we now know as Humpty Dumpty.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Not exactly evil, but definitely not portrayed as a nice person.
* WifeHusbandry: Though, without the marriage. He and Lacie had a father-daughter relationship that eventually grew to something that resembled a relationship between two lovers. It is stated in the Volume 18.5 Evidence Guidebook that he "liked Lacie as a mature woman" and claims to be in love with Lacie in the Volume 22 Drama CD, though Lacie doesn't believe him and claims it was a joke to see how Oswald would react to the confession.

[[folder:Charlotte Baskerville]]
->Voiced by: Creator/MegumiToyoguchi
[[quoteright:269:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lotti_colour_8118.jpg]]
A Baskerville who initially appears to interrogate Oz with Fang and Doug, who appear to follow her lead. She's a bit [[AxCrazy unhinged]], and placed very high in the Baskervilles' internal hierarchy.
* AbsoluteCleavage: Not always, but most of the time, usually in conjunction with an ImpossiblyLowNeckline. The outfit she's wearing in her picture is typically her default.
* AffablyEvil: After a good bit of character development.
* AntiVillain: She holds herself to certain standards and has good intentions, like all Baskervilles.
* AxCrazy: Especially in her first appearance. [[CharacterDevelopment Even though she gets better]], there's still something a little out of whack when it comes to her and violence
* BiTheWay: Anime only, she was waaaay too comfortable with poisoning Ada.
* BodyguardCrush: On [[TheStoic her master Glen]]. See StalkerWithACrush.
* BoobsOfSteel: Though they're often hidden by her cloak, she's got huge tits. She's also quite the badass and one of the highest ranking Baskervilles, if not actually Glen's NumberTwo.
* BrainsAndBondage: She's scarily intelligent when she isn't acting like a sex-crazed maniac.
* CatchPhrase: She refers to herself as "big sister". She also tends to refer to men younger than her, such as Oz, Vincent, and Elliot, as "my boy" or "little boy."
* CharacterDevelopment: Before the series began, she went from being a charming and shy control-freak of a girl to being a peppy, psychotic wreck. Once again, it all comes down to The Tragedy of Sablier. In the series proper, she's gone from being a FauxAffablyEvil [[AxCrazy psycho]] who only cared about finding Glen and who enjoyed inflicting pain to [[EvenEvilhasStandards being someone who expresses distaste for unnecessary cruelty]], and then to being an AntiVillain who genuinely feels sorry for Oz because he lost his two best friends and is willing to [[LoopholeAbuse reinterpret]] [[ExactWords her orders]] for the sake of others.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Compare her personality during her first major appearance (FauxAffablyEvil AxCrazy psychopath who sadistically toyed with Oz) with her personality during her second major appearance (she had calmed down considerably and was visibly disgusted when Vincent vented his frustration by beating Echo, who had nothing to do with his mood).
* ControlFreak: She had elements of this to her personality before the Tragedy of Sablier.
* CoolBigSis: To Lily. She also refers to herself as 'big sister'. See ThirdPersonPerson below.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: A downplayed example in that she has light pink hair and dark pink eyes.
* CuteAndPsycho: At first, at least. While she's [[CharacterDevelopment calmed down some]], in her first appearance she was an attractive young woman who acted a bit ditzy... and who also enjoyed tormenting Oz.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: The only times she's been seen without one was in the past or when she wore a ball gown to Isla Yura's mansion.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She is devoted to her master Glen and cares about her Baskerville comrades. She's also like a [[CoolBigSis nurturing older sister]] to Lily, and she was shocked and saddened by Fang's death.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though like all Baskervilles, it's hard to really call her "evil," she was rather pissed with Vincent when she found him beating up Echo for no real reason. Later, she was clearly horrified and appalled when the recently resurrected Glen executed a wounded and defeated member of Pandora by stabbing him through the mouth (and presumably [[TongueTrauma tongue) just for speaking Jack's name in front of him.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: When she's first introduced. She later [[CharacterDevelopment shifts toward]] AffablyEvil.
* GenkiGirl: A subdued example, but throughout the entire series, she's remained constantly lively and full of energy.
* HairDecorations : Before the Tragedy of Sablier, she wore a ribbon tying her hair back. In the present, she sometimes wears a flower in her hair.
%%* HellishPupils
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Just look at it.
* InLoveWithTheMark: Not necessarily in love, but she and Break have been getting friendly as of late, despite them being enemies by obligation.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: She wore an elegant gown when the Baskervilles infiltrated Isla Yura's manor, and she continued to kick ass.
* LovableSexManiac: Although she's not sleeping with anyone we know of, she sure as hell acts like she is with several characters.
* KnifeNut: She keeps at least one blade on her at all times.
* MsFanservice: She's a beautiful woman with a large chest and a penchant for low cut tops.
* MysteriousPast: Nothing of her life before she joined the Baskervilles has been revealed.
* NobleDemon: Post-CharacterDevelopment. See EvenEvilHasStandards.
* NothingUpMySleeve: Where she kept her knives in the past. She might keep them there in the present as well (when she's wearing an outfit that has sleeves, that is), but we've never seen where she pulls her knives from.
* OfCorsetsSexy: Her favorite outfit.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: After Jack started calling her Lottie, everyone else did too.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In Retrace LXXXVI, Break, Sharon, Sheryl, and other members of Pandora are at the Baskervilles' mercy. Instead of taking pride in the Baskervilles' victory and being the peppy borderline GenkiGirl that she usually is, she is instead shown brooding quietly with a frown on her face.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Even though she's attractive anyway, she looked quite fetching during the Isla Yura arc when she wore a nifty ballgown and had her hair tied up.
* ShesGotLegs: And Mochizuki seems to love showing off every inch of them.
* SilkHidingSteel: She is introduced as an alluring deranged lady. And ''then'' the Chain comes out, she shows off her combat skills and she has high authority within the Baskervilles. She may look like a prostitute, but watch out.
* StalkerWithACrush: She had a tendency to hide behind trees and spy on [[ObliviousToLove Glen]] back in Sablier. Taken to extremes in the {{Omake}}, but it's always PlayedForLaughs.
* {{Stripperific}}: She typically wears [[OfCorsetsSexy a corset]], [[DangerouslyShortSkirt a miniskirt]], and her Baskerville Cloak. That's about it.
* ThanksForTheMammary: That awkward moment in Retrace XLI when Break came dangerously close to [[http://www.mangareader.net/350-34361-33/pandora-hearts/chapter-41.html dropping a piece of candy into her cleavage]].
* ThirdPersonPerson: When referring to herself as 'big sister'.
* WhipItGood: One of her [[WeaponOfChoice Weapons Of Choice]].
* WorthyOpponent: Lottie has the utmost respect for Xerxes Break. After the latter's death, she regrets never being able to fight alongside him instead of against him, and she promises to watch over Oz on his behalf.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Pink hair, in her case.
* ZettaiRyouiki: A constant Type A.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fang Baskerville]]
A skilled Baskerville who works for Lottie. Something of a TokenGoodTeammate and, when we actually see him, a tactician of sorts.
* AffablyEvil: The most polite and level-headed of the group.
* AntiVillain: On top of being the most polite and level-headed, he's the least inclined to kill, considering how he questioned Glen for the order to slaughter the people of sablier. Then again, killings aside, it has already been established that the Baskervilles aren't really villains to begin with.
* {{BFS}}: His weapon of choice.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Lottie and Lily. His HeroicSacrifice was to protect them and buy them time to get away.
* EyesAlwaysShut: He opens them exactly once: when he's dying.
* FamousLastWords: [[SorryThatImDying Lottie-san... I'm sorry.]]
* GentleGiant: He's one of the taller characters, but is quite gentlemanly. He was notably bothered by Lottie's treatment towards Oz.
* HeroicSacrifice: When Break is about to kill Lily with Mad Hatter, Fang pushes her out of the way and takes the blade instead. Unfortunately, it costs him his life, [[{{Tearjerker}} and Lily and Lottie are devastated.]]
* TerribleArtist: According to a recap.
* WorthyOpponent: Seems to consider Break this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Doug Baskerville]]
A stoic giant who seems to be Lottie's bodyguard. Despite his size, [[LightningBruiser he's quite fast]] and an extremely skilled fighter.
%%* TheBigGuy
* CarryABigStick: His weapon of choice is a massive morning star (spiked mace).
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Doug really cares for Lottie, Fang, and Lily, and he is more than willing to [[TakingTheBullet take the bullet]] for any one of them. Case in point, when Sheryl used Owl to blind and deafen everyone, including Break and the Baskervilles he was fighting, Doug's first instinct was to grab Lottie and Lily and shield them with his body.
* GeniusBruiser: He doesn't talk much so we don't know ''exactly'' how smart he is, but Doug is not stupid. In fact, he and Vincent were once seen playing chess together, and though Vince beat Doug quite easily, the fact that such a skilled player would want to play against Doug should say something. He is also one of the most perceptive characters in the series.
* HiddenDepths: A recap shows that he can actually draw well.
* InTheHood: He's the only one of the named Baskervilles who seems to insist on always wearing his hood.
* LightningBruiser: The dude is massive and hits like a tank with his weapon of choice: [[CarryABigStick a massive spiked mace]]. He's also ridiculously fast; Lottie and Lily often use him as a means of quick transport, and he was nimble enough to keep up with Break in a fight. ''And'' he was tough enough to take a hit from the Mad Hatter and survive.
* NobleDemon: [[MyMasterRightOrWrong He'll follow orders to the letter]], but he himself is not at all evil. Case in point: aside from Lottie, he was the only Baskerville who didn't beat Break in retaliation for killing Baskervilles earlier.
* PapaWolf: Towards Fang, Lottie, and Lily.
* TheQuietOne: Doug rarely says a word, preferring to let Fang or Lottie talk for him, and when he does speak, it's usually only a word at a time.
* TheStoic: One wonders if he even has emotions.
* SubmissiveBadass: He may well be the most dangerous Baskerville aside from Glen, yet he always looks to Lottie for his cues.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Lily Baskerville]]
%%* AxCrazy
* BrattyHalfPint: When she doesn't get her way.
* BreakTheCutie: Her backstory, along with the fact that she was forced to participate in the Tragedy of Sablier ''at the age of 12'', has messed her up REALLY badly.
%%* CheerfulChild
* CreepyChild: She's a cheery young girl who's far too comfortable with violence.
* CuteAndPsycho: She's a cute little girl that cheerfully orders her Chain to maul and kill people.
%%* FieryRedhead
* KidWithTheLeash: She controls a chain called Bandersnatch whose killing tendencies she is sometimes unable to control. Bonus points for the chain actually being a [[SavageWolves montrous-looking dog]].
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Attempts to establish one with Reim. And [[BoomHeadshot it doesn't end well]] (at least at first).
* ItsPersonal: She despises Break and wanted nothing more than to hurt him in as many ways as possible since he killed Fang.
* SweetTooth: [[AllThereInTheManual She has been noted to like chocolate]].

[[folder:Lacie Baskerville]]
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lacie2_156.jpg]]
A Child of Misfortune of the Baskerville Household. She was believed to be Glen/Oswald's lost love and the reason he went mad and caused the Tragedy of Sablier. Actually she was Oswald's little sister, as well as the mother of the Alice twins. ''Jack'' was the one who was obsessed with her and caused the Tragedy of Sablier out of his twisted devotion for her. Based on the Red Queen from Through the Looking-Glass.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Because she was a Child of Misfortune, she was forced to live in a tower isolated from everyone.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Oswald during their teen years, it seems. Whenever they had fights, Lacie would run away from home and would only come back after Oswald apologized to her. She mellowed out as an adult.
* ApocalypseMaiden: As a Child of Misfortune with the ability to interact with the Core of the Abyss, her existence is a threat to the world's stability. She's actually a subversion, as the Jury, who feared and hated the Children of Misfortune's [[ImmuneToFate Immunity to Fate]], made it up so the Baskervilles would kill them.
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: The only reason she seemed to agree with Levi's "experiment" was so that, through her child becoming the vessel for the Core of the Abyss, the Core of the Abyss wouldn't have to be alone anymore.
* BrokenBird: Subverted. She seems to have a practical and bitter outlook on life due being told from a young age that she would die, but Retrace LXXII reveals that she genuinely loves the world because she was able to see its darkness as well as its beauty.
* CessationOfExistence: Her fate in the Abyss. Lacie's body and soul immediately were torn apart by the darkness of the Abyss.
* CuteAndPsycho: She's cute, cheerful and enjoys dancing in the raining blood of the men she killed. She grows out of it as an adult.
* DissonantLaughter: After killing the two men that had attacked Jack and her.
%%* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* TheFaceless: Until Retrace LXVI.
* FamousLastWords:
--->"I'm sorry."
* GenkiGirl: Most of the time, anyway.
* GoOutWithASmile: Before her brother threw her into the Abyss, he saw Lacie smiling.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Her usual outfit. Subverted though.
* HiddenDepths: Lacie was more than just a LostLenore. She put a lot of thought into conventional morality, openly questioning why some things are considered "wrong" and never resented her inevitable fate.
%%* KillTheCutie
* LivingEmotionalCrutch:
** She was this to Jack, in a twisted way. She's the one thing that gave Jack the will to live on and being with Lacie is the only way he can feel alive. However, his feelings for Lacie don't come from love, but from pure obsessive hatred and resentment; he has grown to hate her so much that he needs her by his side to live and know who he is.
** She was also this to the Core of the Abyss. Lacie was its only friend and when she died, the Core became more lonely than ever and tried to take care of the body Lacie left for it (the Intention).
* TheLostLenore: To Jack. Losing her finally drove him over the edge and he caused the Tragedy of Sablier in an attempt to bring the world she loved to her in the Abyss. Later subverted in that his feelings for Lacie are not romantic.
* LukeIAmYourFather: She's revealed to be the mother of the Alice twins.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Deconstructed. Lacie brought light to Jack's life with her charm and quirkiness. Jack wanted to live so he could see Lacie again, but over the years it took him to find her, Jack grew to hate her and resent her for tying him down with the desire to meet her again and making him so dependant of her.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Her feelings for Jack were as ambiguous as his feelings for her. She claimed that she only saw him as a toy, but there were hints that she cared about him as more than that. When Jack gets to see the fragment of her final feelings and memories, it's confirmed she did have some feelings for him, but she could also tell that what Jack felt for her wasn't love which made her distance herself from him.
* MeetCute: With Jack.
* MissingMom: She died in the Abyss while pregnant with the Alice twins. Therefore her daughters were born in the Abyss and never met her.
* MoralityChain: To Jack. When she died, he didn't care about anything anymore and decided to throw the world into the Abyss, believing it would make Lacie happy.
* MySecretPregnancy: No one knew of her "experiment" with Levi while she was alive. Jack only learned about it through Levi.
* TheNotLoveInterest: Lacie fulfills nearly perfectly the role of a dead love interest for Jack and he's clearly very obsessed with her, but the exact nature of his feelings remained very ambiguous since the beginning. While he did restlessly search for her for eight years and he wanted to spend as much time with her as possible once he found her, Jack never actively pursued a romantic relationship with Lacie, being satisfied with merely being by her side. Near the end of the series, it's revealed that Jack actually ''hates'' Lacie and only wants to be with her because his hatred towards her makes him feel alive.
* OnlyFriend: To the Core of the Abyss. To try to alleviate this, she had Levi sew the two rabbits that would become Oz, and left both him and her children to the Core to keep it company after her death. [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom It didn't work out well]].
* PeerlessLoveInterest: To Jack, who pretty much fell for her because she was way out of his league both in social status and personality. According to Levi, she is fickle and typically dotes on "pets" only to promptly forget about them and attempts to ward Jack off by denying that he's treated any differently. Ironically enough, Jack knows this and is perfectly accepting of it, and he doesn't push their relationship even when she gives him the opportunity to do so. Makes sense since turns out he doesn't have any romantic or sexual feelings for Lacie.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: Her death was the trigger for the events that started the entire main plot.
* PosthumousCharacter: She was cast into the Abyss because she was a Child of Ill Omen and died long before the start of the series. We only get to know her through flashbacks.
* RapunzelHair: She had waist-length hair.
%%* RebelliousSpirit
* RedEyesTakeWarning: As a Child of Misfortune, Lacie has red eyes.
* TheRunaway: She meets Jack after running away from the Baskervilles. It is implied that that wasn't the first time she's done that.
* SignificantAnagram: Lacie is an anagram of [[AliceAllusion Alice]].
* SmallRoleBigImpact: The setting of ''Pandora Hearts'' would've been different had she not met Jack Vessalius and had not given birth to twins within the Abyss.
%%* SugarAndIcePersonality
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Played with. She was a young woman doomed to die from a young age, but she didn't resent her fate. She loved the world immensely, the good and the bad, and was thankful she had the chance to experience it. She cared for the Core and made sure it wouldn't be alone after her death. She also liked killing those slavers a bit too much and had a [[BlueAndOrangeMorality strange world view]].
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: As Glen pointed out, she was really the cause of the whole Tragedy of Sablier; she met Jack and he went crazy for her, she gave to the core of Abyss the stuffed rabbits which became Oz the B-Rabbit, she's the mother of Alice, the instrument Jack used to orchestrate the tragedy, and the poor girl was just trying to live her short life at her fullest and trying to make something to made some people happy.
* UptownGirl: She was a member of the high-ranked Baskerville family, while Jack was the bastard son of a noble man who grew up in the streets. Jack had to climb the social ranks in order to meet her again. It's subverted when it's revealed Jack isn't in love with her.
* WalkingSpoiler: Knowing too much about Lacie gives away very big reveals involving Jack and Glen/Oswald, as well as the fact that she's the mother of the Alice twins.
* WomanInWhite: When she met Jack, she was wearing a white sundress.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: Since she was a child, she was told she must be cast to the Abyss by the black-feathered chains and be killed DeaderThanDead.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:In General]]
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Even during their peaceful golden years their required LawfulNeutral position lead them to do some pretty messed up things for the sake of [[WellIntentionedExtremist keeping the world balanced and orderly]], including locking up and killing their own family members because an old lady EldritchAbomination who lived in their basement told them to.
* TheChosenMany: The reason why they're Baskervilles is not because of blood ties but rather because of being chosen by the lights of the Abyss, later revealed to be sent by the Jury.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Many of them, namely Fang, Doug, and possibly Lottie, really aren't that bad, except for the fact that they're unflinchingly loyal to the BigBad. And then it turns out that they didn't serve the the BigBad, but were each a HeroAntagonist all along.
** Moreso morally gray antagonist. Though some of their early actions can be sympathized with, many of them get to a point where their actions are hardly anymore justifiable than Jack's.
* FiveBadBand: The five named Baskervilles (sans [[PosthumousCharacter Lacie]]) form one of these, although there are more Baskervilles than just the five of them.
** BigBad: Glen/Oswald Baskerville. Zigzagged later and ultimately averted; Oswald was not the one who started the Tragedy but had [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped so far off the Slippery Slope]] anyways that he stays an antagonist up until his final chapter (just a more sympathetic one).
** TheDragon: Lottie -- Though Glen seems to place quite a bit of trust in potentially useful non-Baskervilles (namely Rufus Barma, Vincent Nightray, and Xai Vessalius), Lottie seems to be just below him in the Baskervilles' internal hierarchy.
** TheEvilGenius: Fang -- Though more of a GeniusBruiser than a MadScientist, he seems to be the most intelligent one of his companions, and from what little we've seen of him, he's a capable tactician.
** TheBrute: Doug -- While he breaks the stereotype by possessing intelligence and lacking a cruel streak, he doesn't seem to have much authority in the Baskervilles and seems to be more Lottie's bodyguard than anything.
** TheDarkChick: Lily
* HeroAntagonist: Zigzagged. They start out the story as menacing assassins, but their actions are given more sympathetic explanations halfway through the story. However, despite their initially noble cause, they're willing to do some seriously shady things to get what they want and don't often care for the human lives it will cost. This becomes important in the climax, where when choosing between Jack's and Oswald's options of how to deal with TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, the protagonists TakeAThirdOption, as both Jack's and Oswald's are equally unacceptable to them.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: At first. But they lose their moral high ground pretty quickly in the current era, slipping into WellIntentionedExtremist.
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Their connection to the Abyss means they distort the world around them, and this is all the more true for those chosen to be Glen Baskerville's vessel. There's a lot of downsides about it not even Baskervilles knew of, too, like the fact that they weren't actually chosen by the Abyss, but by the Juries to act as their personal enforcement squad to kill anything the Jury couldn't control, including members of their own families.
* KickTheDog: After Glen left for Sablier, all of the Baskervilles besides Lottie and Doug [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown began to beat the captive Break, and even Sharon]].
* SuperToughness: Being more Chain than human, the only powers related to the Abyss can mortally wound them.

[[folder:Glen Baskerville [[spoiler: / Oswald Baskerville]]]]
->Voiced by: Creator/KisshoTaniyama
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/72072_2152.jpg]]
The enigmatic leader of the Baskervilles and the one who caused the Tragedy of Sabliér. [[SilentScapegoat Or so we thought]]. Based on the Red King from Through the Looking-Glass.
* {{Adorkable}}: Just look at him at that time when he squeezes his cheeks bemusedly after Jack says that he's looking sterner than normal.
* AloofBigBrother: To Lacie.
* TheAtoner: He attempted to atone for killing Lacie by taking care of her daughter, Alice.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: It was his job to dig up dirt on everyone and anyone before he became Glen. Jack is understandably shocked when Oswald deconstructs and explains his existence to Levi when they first meet.
%%* BadassLongRobe
* BattleButler: To Levi, the previous Glen.
* BerserkButton:
** He ''does not'' react well when Jack suggests bringing Lacie back from the dead.
** He totally loses it when he finds out that Jack tried to plunge the world into the Abyss and ruin his party. At one point he straight up ''slaughters'' a couple dozen people for ''saying Jack's name.''
* BigBad: It was assumed that he was the one behind the Tragedy of Sabliér until it was revealed Jack was the one who did it, and Glen wasn't all that bad.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He cared a lot about his sister Lacie. Later subverted when he plans to go back to the past and kill her in order to prevent the Tragedy of Sabliér and then DoubleSubverted since at the end he realizes he can't bring himself to kill Lacie.
%%* {{Bishounen}}
* BreakTheCutie: The days when he and Lacie could be found racketeering all over the Baskerville mansion are long gone.
* TheComicallySerious: Consider how often he keeps his poker face in otherwise hilarious scenes.
* CoolUncle: While he didn't get along with Alyss, his niece Alice adored him so much that she named her beloved stuffed rabbit after him.
* FeatherMotif: Black feathers, like the Five Black-Feathered Chains he controls.
* GrandTheftMe: As of Retrace LXXVIII, Glen's consciousness has fully taken over Leo, now that all Sealing Stones are destroyed. Glen has also remarked that Leo doesn't even have the strength to fight against his influence.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Levi, seemingly, as Oswald was Levi's attendant before the former became Glen. Oswald also seem to feed Levi information pertaining to nobles that attended Baskerville banquets and balls. As the Glen candidate, he was always by Levi's side.
* HiddenDepths: His expressions have now extended to THREE ranges: the poker face, the shocked face and the 'I've just totally lost it' face. We even get a tiny smile now and then. Plus, he genuinely cares for Alice and Gilbert. When he realizes that Sablier will be thrown into the Abyss, he immediately thinks about what he can do to save as many people as possible. Glen has clearly asserted himself as a very different character as opposed to the individual he was first introduced as.
* {{Immortality}}: A mix of BodySurf, LegacyImmortality and FromASingleCell, though the latter doesn't work with Abyss-related powers. Interrupting the ceremony also triggered ResurrectiveImmortality, and subsequently, GrandTheftMe on Leo.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Never directly stated, but very much implied. Levi describes him as popular, but Jack says that Glen was often found in solidarity. He composes his own melodies and it appears as though Gilbert often found him in his study whenever he couldn't sleep. Brainy but lonely, our Glen is.
* ItsAllMyFault: He blames himself for Lacie being a Child of Misfortune.
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Being the leader of the powerful Baskervilles isn't as great as it sounds. On top of distorting the world around him even more than usual for a Baskerville, poor Oswald was unlucky enough to end up making his sister Lacie a [[ApocalypseMaiden Child of Misfortune.]] Of course, with the revelation that the Baskervilles were created to kill [[SpannerInTheWorks spanners]] like the Children of Misfortune, it may well be the other way around.
* JapanesePronouns: Watashi.
* KillTheOnesYouLove: As part of his role as Glen, he had to send his beloved sister Lacie to the Abyss. Later, he plans to travel back in time and kill her younger self so that the Tragedy of Sabliér never happens, but in the end he realizes he can't do it.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: It is believed he caused the Tragedy of Sabliér when he lost his love Lacie to the Abyss. Subverted as it turns out that everything that happened to "him" actually happened to ''Jack'' instead.
* MeaningfulName: Think of how it's pronounced: '''Oz'''wald. [[WeNamedTheMonkeyJack It turns out Oz was named after him.]] Plus, Oswald, broken down into its two elements, means 'os' (god) and wald (rule). Oswald has been described as king of the emissaries of the Abyss on occasion and his character is based upon the Red King from Alice in Wonderland.
* MercyKill: Ordered the massacre at Sabliér in a last, desperate attempt to save the citizens from being pulled into the Abyss. If he couldn't save them from the Tragedy, he'd at least save their souls from being cut off from the 100 year cycle of rebirth.
* MistakenForGay: Mentions that he finds Jack fascinating. An amused Levi thought he meant this in a romantic sense.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: He knocks Jack out seconds after the latter reunites with and embraces Lacie. In the Pandora Hearts Volume 22 Drama CD, he disapproves of Levi being in love with Lacie.
* ObliviousToLove: Oswald is a little too clueless about Miranda Barma's and Lottie's attentions...
* ParentalSubstitute: To Alice and Gil.
%%* PosthumousCharacter
%%* PurpleEyes
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Has this effect with the red Baskerville robe and his black outfit. Then it's subverted, since he wasn't a villain in the true backstory and during his time as an antagonist in the modern era he wears only black.
* SanitySlippage: The Tragedy of Sablier ''screwed him up.'' Unlike other survivors, though, he dealt with it by getting hung up over revenge.
* TheScapegoat: He is believed to be the evil mastermind that sent Sablier into the Abyss and was stopped by the hero Jack. Then it's revealed ''Jack'' was the one who tried to send the world into the Abyss and Oswald was merely framed for it after the Tragedy.
* SetRightWhatOnceWasWrong: After possessing Leo, he sets his goal as travelling back to the past and killing Lacie in order to prevent the Tragedy from ever happening. He is also very willing to kill Oz (and subsequently, Jack) to stop them from interfering. Subverted, though, as Rufus points out that he's only ''claiming'' to be trying to right wrongs, and in reality is motivated by revenge. In the end, he manages to go back in time, but can't bring himself to kill his sister.
* ShipTease: He and Lottie were broached as a possible pairing. Then Miranda muscled in on the plot and that ship burned before it left the harbor.
* ShootTheDog: Upon becoming the next Glen Baskerville, he was forced to send his sister Lacie into the Abyss. And to prevent the next tragedy, he tries to execute Oz, someone he admitted earlier was just an unfortunate, pitiful existence.
* SoProudOfYou: He and Gil have a moment that messes up your grey cells. Gil has just shot Oz on Oswald's orders, seems to be down with a severe case of PTSD and Oswald ends up patting him on the shoulder and saying that he's happy Gil is still his servant.
* SpiritAdvisor: Along with the previous Glens, he was this towards Leo, though, the latter didn't really appreciate the help, considering how the voices established his status as "the weird one", and eventually was able to get them blocked out. At least for the time being.
%%* TheStoic
* SugarAndIcePersonality: As stoic and aloof as he might be, he has a clear soft spot for his dear sister Lacie.
%%* TallDarkAndHandsome
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He was this in the past but ultimately subverts the "well-intentioned" part in the present. He managed to avert the end of the world all those years ago, (even if averting it involved [[MercyKill murdering everyone in the city]]), but despite his initially noble intentions for this horrible act, it's revealed his actions in the modern era (having [[DevotedToYou Gilbert]] shoot Oz during his HeroicBSOD, slaughtering scores of people for saying Jack's name, going back in time to stop Jack from meeting Lacie by killing his sister) are motivated by revenge.

[[folder:Levi Baskerville]]
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/levi1_8582.jpg]]
The former Glen Baskerville, preceding Oswald. He impregnated Lacie as part of an experiment and is the father of both Alice and the Intention of the Abyss. When he died, he became the chain Humpty Dumpty.
%%* {{Bishounen}}
* DisappearedDad: He died shortly after the birth of his daughters, the Alice twins.
* DissonantSerenity
** He frequently does this, such as when warning Jack Vessalius that he could have him killed and nobody would notice.
** Another example is when he explains to a young Lacie about [[DeaderThanDead her]] [[YourDaysAreNumbered fate]] without having the smile on his face waver.
* ForScience: He impregnated Lacie as part of an experiment: to see if her child could become a host for the Core of the Abyss and how this factor would affect the immortal Baskervilles.
* HellishPupils: Oh yes. There have been hints here and there that indicate they weren't always that way, though.
%%* {{Immortality}}
* ItAmusedMe: He tells Leo he doesn't care about the consequences his actions have as long as they keep him entertained.
%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* LukeIAmYourFather: Was the father of the Alice twins.
%%* MysticalWhiteHair
* PurpleEyes: He controls ''five'' incredibly powerful Chains and is in charge of protecting the Abyss. Naturally, Alice and Intention of the Abyss inherited their eye color from him.
* SpiritAdvisor: See Oswald above.
* WalkingSpoiler: His existence is an indication of the fact that Glen Baskerville is not a normal human.
* WasOnceAMan: Then he rotted into what we now know as Humpty Dumpty.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Not exactly evil, but definitely not portrayed as a nice person.
* WifeHusbandry: Though, without the marriage. He and Lacie had a father-daughter relationship that eventually grew to something that resembled a relationship between two lovers. It is stated in the Volume 18.5 Evidence Guidebook that he "liked Lacie as a mature woman" and claims to be in love with Lacie in the Volume 22 Drama CD, though Lacie doesn't believe him and claims it was a joke to see how Oswald would react to the confession.

[[folder:Charlotte Baskerville]]
->Voiced by: Creator/MegumiToyoguchi
[[quoteright:269:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lotti_colour_8118.jpg]]
A Baskerville who initially appears to interrogate Oz with Fang and Doug, who appear to follow her lead. She's a bit [[AxCrazy unhinged]], and placed very high in the Baskervilles' internal hierarchy.
* AbsoluteCleavage: Not always, but most of the time, usually in conjunction with an ImpossiblyLowNeckline. The outfit she's wearing in her picture is typically her default.
* AffablyEvil: After a good bit of character development.
* AntiVillain: She holds herself to certain standards and has good intentions, like all Baskervilles.
* AxCrazy: Especially in her first appearance. [[CharacterDevelopment Even though she gets better]], there's still something a little out of whack when it comes to her and violence
* BiTheWay: Anime only, she was waaaay too comfortable with poisoning Ada.
* BodyguardCrush: On [[TheStoic her master Glen]]. See StalkerWithACrush.
* BoobsOfSteel: Though they're often hidden by her cloak, she's got huge tits. She's also quite the badass and one of the highest ranking Baskervilles, if not actually Glen's NumberTwo.
* BrainsAndBondage: She's scarily intelligent when she isn't acting like a sex-crazed maniac.
* CatchPhrase: She refers to herself as "big sister". She also tends to refer to men younger than her, such as Oz, Vincent, and Elliot, as "my boy" or "little boy."
* CharacterDevelopment: Before the series began, she went from being a charming and shy control-freak of a girl to being a peppy, psychotic wreck. Once again, it all comes down to The Tragedy of Sablier. In the series proper, she's gone from being a FauxAffablyEvil [[AxCrazy psycho]] who only cared about finding Glen and who enjoyed inflicting pain to [[EvenEvilhasStandards being someone who expresses distaste for unnecessary cruelty]], and then to being an AntiVillain who genuinely feels sorry for Oz because he lost his two best friends and is willing to [[LoopholeAbuse reinterpret]] [[ExactWords her orders]] for the sake of others.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Compare her personality during her first major appearance (FauxAffablyEvil AxCrazy psychopath who sadistically toyed with Oz) with her personality during her second major appearance (she had calmed down considerably and was visibly disgusted when Vincent vented his frustration by beating Echo, who had nothing to do with his mood).
* ControlFreak: She had elements of this to her personality before the Tragedy of Sablier.
* CoolBigSis: To Lily. She also refers to herself as 'big sister'. See ThirdPersonPerson below.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: A downplayed example in that she has light pink hair and dark pink eyes.
* CuteAndPsycho: At first, at least. While she's [[CharacterDevelopment calmed down some]], in her first appearance she was an attractive young woman who acted a bit ditzy... and who also enjoyed tormenting Oz.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: The only times she's been seen without one was in the past or when she wore a ball gown to Isla Yura's mansion.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She is devoted to her master Glen and cares about her Baskerville comrades. She's also like a [[CoolBigSis nurturing older sister]] to Lily, and she was shocked and saddened by Fang's death.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though like all Baskervilles, it's hard to really call her "evil," she was rather pissed with Vincent when she found him beating up Echo for no real reason. Later, she was clearly horrified and appalled when the recently resurrected Glen executed a wounded and defeated member of Pandora by stabbing him through the mouth (and presumably [[TongueTrauma tongue) just for speaking Jack's name in front of him.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: When she's first introduced. She later [[CharacterDevelopment shifts toward]] AffablyEvil.
* GenkiGirl: A subdued example, but throughout the entire series, she's remained constantly lively and full of energy.
* HairDecorations : Before the Tragedy of Sablier, she wore a ribbon tying her hair back. In the present, she sometimes wears a flower in her hair.
%%* HellishPupils
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Just look at it.
* InLoveWithTheMark: Not necessarily in love, but she and Break have been getting friendly as of late, despite them being enemies by obligation.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: She wore an elegant gown when the Baskervilles infiltrated Isla Yura's manor, and she continued to kick ass.
* LovableSexManiac: Although she's not sleeping with anyone we know of, she sure as hell acts like she is with several characters.
* KnifeNut: She keeps at least one blade on her at all times.
* MsFanservice: She's a beautiful woman with a large chest and a penchant for low cut tops.
* MysteriousPast: Nothing of her life before she joined the Baskervilles has been revealed.
* NobleDemon: Post-CharacterDevelopment. See EvenEvilHasStandards.
* NothingUpMySleeve: Where she kept her knives in the past. She might keep them there in the present as well (when she's wearing an outfit that has sleeves, that is), but we've never seen where she pulls her knives from.
* OfCorsetsSexy: Her favorite outfit.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: After Jack started calling her Lottie, everyone else did too.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In Retrace LXXXVI, Break, Sharon, Sheryl, and other members of Pandora are at the Baskervilles' mercy. Instead of taking pride in the Baskervilles' victory and being the peppy borderline GenkiGirl that she usually is, she is instead shown brooding quietly with a frown on her face.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Even though she's attractive anyway, she looked quite fetching during the Isla Yura arc when she wore a nifty ballgown and had her hair tied up.
* ShesGotLegs: And Mochizuki seems to love showing off every inch of them.
* SilkHidingSteel: She is introduced as an alluring deranged lady. And ''then'' the Chain comes out, she shows off her combat skills and she has high authority within the Baskervilles. She may look like a prostitute, but watch out.
* StalkerWithACrush: She had a tendency to hide behind trees and spy on [[ObliviousToLove Glen]] back in Sablier. Taken to extremes in the {{Omake}}, but it's always PlayedForLaughs.
* {{Stripperific}}: She typically wears [[OfCorsetsSexy a corset]], [[DangerouslyShortSkirt a miniskirt]], and her Baskerville Cloak. That's about it.
* ThanksForTheMammary: That awkward moment in Retrace XLI when Break came dangerously close to [[http://www.mangareader.net/350-34361-33/pandora-hearts/chapter-41.html dropping a piece of candy into her cleavage]].
* ThirdPersonPerson: When referring to herself as 'big sister'.
* WhipItGood: One of her [[WeaponOfChoice Weapons Of Choice]].
* WorthyOpponent: Lottie has the utmost respect for Xerxes Break. After the latter's death, she regrets never being able to fight alongside him instead of against him, and she promises to watch over Oz on his behalf.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Pink hair, in her case.
* ZettaiRyouiki: A constant Type A.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fang Baskerville]]
A skilled Baskerville who works for Lottie. Something of a TokenGoodTeammate and, when we actually see him, a tactician of sorts.
* AffablyEvil: The most polite and level-headed of the group.
* AntiVillain: On top of being the most polite and level-headed, he's the least inclined to kill, considering how he questioned Glen for the order to slaughter the people of sablier. Then again, killings aside, it has already been established that the Baskervilles aren't really villains to begin with.
* {{BFS}}: His weapon of choice.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Lottie and Lily. His HeroicSacrifice was to protect them and buy them time to get away.
* EyesAlwaysShut: He opens them exactly once: when he's dying.
* FamousLastWords: [[SorryThatImDying Lottie-san... I'm sorry.]]
* GentleGiant: He's one of the taller characters, but is quite gentlemanly. He was notably bothered by Lottie's treatment towards Oz.
* HeroicSacrifice: When Break is about to kill Lily with Mad Hatter, Fang pushes her out of the way and takes the blade instead. Unfortunately, it costs him his life, [[{{Tearjerker}} and Lily and Lottie are devastated.]]
* TerribleArtist: According to a recap.
* WorthyOpponent: Seems to consider Break this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Doug Baskerville]]
A stoic giant who seems to be Lottie's bodyguard. Despite his size, [[LightningBruiser he's quite fast]] and an extremely skilled fighter.
%%* TheBigGuy
* CarryABigStick: His weapon of choice is a massive morning star (spiked mace).
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Doug really cares for Lottie, Fang, and Lily, and he is more than willing to [[TakingTheBullet take the bullet]] for any one of them. Case in point, when Sheryl used Owl to blind and deafen everyone, including Break and the Baskervilles he was fighting, Doug's first instinct was to grab Lottie and Lily and shield them with his body.
* GeniusBruiser: He doesn't talk much so we don't know ''exactly'' how smart he is, but Doug is not stupid. In fact, he and Vincent were once seen playing chess together, and though Vince beat Doug quite easily, the fact that such a skilled player would want to play against Doug should say something. He is also one of the most perceptive characters in the series.
* HiddenDepths: A recap shows that he can actually draw well.
* InTheHood: He's the only one of the named Baskervilles who seems to insist on always wearing his hood.
* LightningBruiser: The dude is massive and hits like a tank with his weapon of choice: [[CarryABigStick a massive spiked mace]]. He's also ridiculously fast; Lottie and Lily often use him as a means of quick transport, and he was nimble enough to keep up with Break in a fight. ''And'' he was tough enough to take a hit from the Mad Hatter and survive.
* NobleDemon: [[MyMasterRightOrWrong He'll follow orders to the letter]], but he himself is not at all evil. Case in point: aside from Lottie, he was the only Baskerville who didn't beat Break in retaliation for killing Baskervilles earlier.
* PapaWolf: Towards Fang, Lottie, and Lily.
* TheQuietOne: Doug rarely says a word, preferring to let Fang or Lottie talk for him, and when he does speak, it's usually only a word at a time.
* TheStoic: One wonders if he even has emotions.
* SubmissiveBadass: He may well be the most dangerous Baskerville aside from Glen, yet he always looks to Lottie for his cues.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Lily Baskerville]]
%%* AxCrazy
* BrattyHalfPint: When she doesn't get her way.
* BreakTheCutie: Her backstory, along with the fact that she was forced to participate in the Tragedy of Sablier ''at the age of 12'', has messed her up REALLY badly.
%%* CheerfulChild
* CreepyChild: She's a cheery young girl who's far too comfortable with violence.
* CuteAndPsycho: She's a cute little girl that cheerfully orders her Chain to maul and kill people.
%%* FieryRedhead
* KidWithTheLeash: She controls a chain called Bandersnatch whose killing tendencies she is sometimes unable to control. Bonus points for the chain actually being a [[SavageWolves montrous-looking dog]].
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Attempts to establish one with Reim. And [[BoomHeadshot it doesn't end well]] (at least at first).
* ItsPersonal: She despises Break and wanted nothing more than to hurt him in as many ways as possible since he killed Fang.
* SweetTooth: [[AllThereInTheManual She has been noted to like chocolate]].

[[folder:Lacie Baskerville]]
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lacie2_156.jpg]]
A Child of Misfortune of the Baskerville Household. She was believed to be Glen/Oswald's lost love and the reason he went mad and caused the Tragedy of Sablier. Actually she was Oswald's little sister, as well as the mother of the Alice twins. ''Jack'' was the one who was obsessed with her and caused the Tragedy of Sablier out of his twisted devotion for her. Based on the Red Queen from Through the Looking-Glass.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Because she was a Child of Misfortune, she was forced to live in a tower isolated from everyone.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Oswald during their teen years, it seems. Whenever they had fights, Lacie would run away from home and would only come back after Oswald apologized to her. She mellowed out as an adult.
* ApocalypseMaiden: As a Child of Misfortune with the ability to interact with the Core of the Abyss, her existence is a threat to the world's stability. She's actually a subversion, as the Jury, who feared and hated the Children of Misfortune's [[ImmuneToFate Immunity to Fate]], made it up so the Baskervilles would kill them.
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: The only reason she seemed to agree with Levi's "experiment" was so that, through her child becoming the vessel for the Core of the Abyss, the Core of the Abyss wouldn't have to be alone anymore.
* BrokenBird: Subverted. She seems to have a practical and bitter outlook on life due being told from a young age that she would die, but Retrace LXXII reveals that she genuinely loves the world because she was able to see its darkness as well as its beauty.
* CessationOfExistence: Her fate in the Abyss. Lacie's body and soul immediately were torn apart by the darkness of the Abyss.
* CuteAndPsycho: She's cute, cheerful and enjoys dancing in the raining blood of the men she killed. She grows out of it as an adult.
* DissonantLaughter: After killing the two men that had attacked Jack and her.
%%* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* TheFaceless: Until Retrace LXVI.
* FamousLastWords:
--->"I'm sorry."
* GenkiGirl: Most of the time, anyway.
* GoOutWithASmile: Before her brother threw her into the Abyss, he saw Lacie smiling.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Her usual outfit. Subverted though.
* HiddenDepths: Lacie was more than just a LostLenore. She put a lot of thought into conventional morality, openly questioning why some things are considered "wrong" and never resented her inevitable fate.
%%* KillTheCutie
* LivingEmotionalCrutch:
** She was this to Jack, in a twisted way. She's the one thing that gave Jack the will to live on and being with Lacie is the only way he can feel alive. However, his feelings for Lacie don't come from love, but from pure obsessive hatred and resentment; he has grown to hate her so much that he needs her by his side to live and know who he is.
** She was also this to the Core of the Abyss. Lacie was its only friend and when she died, the Core became more lonely than ever and tried to take care of the body Lacie left for it (the Intention).
* TheLostLenore: To Jack. Losing her finally drove him over the edge and he caused the Tragedy of Sablier in an attempt to bring the world she loved to her in the Abyss. Later subverted in that his feelings for Lacie are not romantic.
* LukeIAmYourFather: She's revealed to be the mother of the Alice twins.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Deconstructed. Lacie brought light to Jack's life with her charm and quirkiness. Jack wanted to live so he could see Lacie again, but over the years it took him to find her, Jack grew to hate her and resent her for tying him down with the desire to meet her again and making him so dependant of her.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Her feelings for Jack were as ambiguous as his feelings for her. She claimed that she only saw him as a toy, but there were hints that she cared about him as more than that. When Jack gets to see the fragment of her final feelings and memories, it's confirmed she did have some feelings for him, but she could also tell that what Jack felt for her wasn't love which made her distance herself from him.
* MeetCute: With Jack.
* MissingMom: She died in the Abyss while pregnant with the Alice twins. Therefore her daughters were born in the Abyss and never met her.
* MoralityChain: To Jack. When she died, he didn't care about anything anymore and decided to throw the world into the Abyss, believing it would make Lacie happy.
* MySecretPregnancy: No one knew of her "experiment" with Levi while she was alive. Jack only learned about it through Levi.
* TheNotLoveInterest: Lacie fulfills nearly perfectly the role of a dead love interest for Jack and he's clearly very obsessed with her, but the exact nature of his feelings remained very ambiguous since the beginning. While he did restlessly search for her for eight years and he wanted to spend as much time with her as possible once he found her, Jack never actively pursued a romantic relationship with Lacie, being satisfied with merely being by her side. Near the end of the series, it's revealed that Jack actually ''hates'' Lacie and only wants to be with her because his hatred towards her makes him feel alive.
* OnlyFriend: To the Core of the Abyss. To try to alleviate this, she had Levi sew the two rabbits that would become Oz, and left both him and her children to the Core to keep it company after her death. [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom It didn't work out well]].
* PeerlessLoveInterest: To Jack, who pretty much fell for her because she was way out of his league both in social status and personality. According to Levi, she is fickle and typically dotes on "pets" only to promptly forget about them and attempts to ward Jack off by denying that he's treated any differently. Ironically enough, Jack knows this and is perfectly accepting of it, and he doesn't push their relationship even when she gives him the opportunity to do so. Makes sense since turns out he doesn't have any romantic or sexual feelings for Lacie.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: Her death was the trigger for the events that started the entire main plot.
* PosthumousCharacter: She was cast into the Abyss because she was a Child of Ill Omen and died long before the start of the series. We only get to know her through flashbacks.
* RapunzelHair: She had waist-length hair.
%%* RebelliousSpirit
* RedEyesTakeWarning: As a Child of Misfortune, Lacie has red eyes.
* TheRunaway: She meets Jack after running away from the Baskervilles. It is implied that that wasn't the first time she's done that.
* SignificantAnagram: Lacie is an anagram of [[AliceAllusion Alice]].
* SmallRoleBigImpact: The setting of ''Pandora Hearts'' would've been different had she not met Jack Vessalius and had not given birth to twins within the Abyss.
%%* SugarAndIcePersonality
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Played with. She was a young woman doomed to die from a young age, but she didn't resent her fate. She loved the world immensely, the good and the bad, and was thankful she had the chance to experience it. She cared for the Core and made sure it wouldn't be alone after her death. She also liked killing those slavers a bit too much and had a [[BlueAndOrangeMorality strange world view]].
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: As Glen pointed out, she was really the cause of the whole Tragedy of Sablier; she met Jack and he went crazy for her, she gave to the core of Abyss the stuffed rabbits which became Oz the B-Rabbit, she's the mother of Alice, the instrument Jack used to orchestrate the tragedy, and the poor girl was just trying to live her short life at her fullest and trying to make something to made some people happy.
* UptownGirl: She was a member of the high-ranked Baskerville family, while Jack was the bastard son of a noble man who grew up in the streets. Jack had to climb the social ranks in order to meet her again. It's subverted when it's revealed Jack isn't in love with her.
* WalkingSpoiler: Knowing too much about Lacie gives away very big reveals involving Jack and Glen/Oswald, as well as the fact that she's the mother of the Alice twins.
* WomanInWhite: When she met Jack, she was wearing a white sundress.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: Since she was a child, she was told she must be cast to the Abyss by the black-feathered chains and be killed DeaderThanDead.
