** Basically, he's an especially strange and frightening example in that the more we learn, the ''less'' sense it makes that he's even in this story. He's first introduced in the Season 1 finale, "Slave of the Scorpion", when Mira's drawings in the dirt include a towering, faceless HornedHumanoid, heavily implied to be the titular Scorpion, whose emblem is branded on the back of Mira's head. When Mira is recaptured, Spear pursues her to a Viking village and frees her, but something seems off as there's no sign of the scorpion emblem anywhere, and as mentioned the Chieftain clearly had no prior knowledge of such an entity. So he's unaffiliated with that ''particular'' Viking village but regardless seeks vengeance for Mira's escape, right? ''Wrong''. The series finale throws a curveball at us by giving us a flashback to Mira's first capture, revealing that the horned figure she drew represented the perfectly ordinary Viking warrior who took her -- the shadowy demon we ''thought'' had been foreshadowed since the end of Season 1 in fact came ''completely'' out of nowhere in the final act of Season 2, and has no personal reason to pursue Spear and Mira whatsoever apart from whatever he gets out of the Chieftain's DealWithTheDevil. The demon considers the bargain fulfilled the moment Spear is wounded, and drags the Chieftain off once again, never once interacting with the protagonists or even becoming known to them.

[[caption-width-right:240:[[labelnote:Click here to see her before her enslavement]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mira_hair.png[[/labelnote]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Laetitia Eido-Mollon
A ''Homo sapiens'' (modern human) woman whom Spear and Fang save from a pliosaur and later befriend.
----
* ActionGirl: Mira is a capable survivor, archer and fighter, and can pull her own weight during her adventures with Spear and Fang.
%%* AmazonianBeauty: Not as bulky or overtly muscular as others, but she does have an athletic and defined build, and can be just as much of a warrior as Spear.
* BadassNormal: She never exhibits the same level of CharlesAtlasSuperpower as Spear, but she makes do with her modern cunning.
* BarefootCaptives: It's unknown whether her people wore shoes or sandals, but by the time she meets Spear and Fang she has nothing on her feet.
* BareYourMidriff: When enslaved by the Egyptian queen, her GoGoEnslavement has this as a feature.
* TheDeterminator: Swam miles of monster-infested ocean to escape her slavers while still heavily manacled.
* DoesNotSpeakCommon: All of her dialogue is in Arabic, while the show's audience are presumed to be English-speakers. As she's the first character in the series to any dialogue at all, and accompanies most of her dialogue with visual aids, she is, unlike most characters who fit this trope, the ''least'' [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]] character in the series prior to the appearance of the Historical Society.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: She is unsatisfied with eating raw meat, and cooks up a stew from it and some vegetables she finds, though this probably has more to do with her status as a proper ''Homo Sapiens'' than her sex. Spear is very confused by the idea, but Fang is enticed by the smell and eagerly gobbles it up.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: When hunting a feathered oviraptorsaur dinosaur, Spear first tries to stab it with his spear, and Mira fires an arrow from her newly-constructed bow. Downplayed in that Spear also throws his spear, but it doesn't have much finesse. It's also justified because Spear has clearly never even seen this sort of advanced weapon before, and he later manages to use the bow perfectly fine (with his spear as the arrow). Played straighter in Season 2, where she defaults to the bow and arrow as a weapon of choice.
* HeartbrokenBadass: She's a capable survivor [[spoiler:who was forced to watch as a Viking struck down her lover, before she was choked out, captured, and painfully branded.]]
* InterspeciesRelationship: [[spoiler: With Spear at the end of the series, the two producing a daughter together]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Barring the midpoint two-episode arc, Season 1 is a chiefly episodic package, but Mira's entrance introduces a more serialized narrative that defines Season 2.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: She is shown in the Season 1 finale as a new ally to Spear and Fang.
* MadeASlave: Relates to Spear how she used to have a normal life in a village before an outside civilization [[RapePillageAndBurn raided her village]] and enslaved those they had not killed. It happened again when she, Fang, ans Spear were captured by the Egyptians.
* MeaningfulName: Her name means "Kindness" in several languages, and she's the first unfailingly benevolent force that Spear and Fang meet. In addition, her name can mean "Ocean" or "Boundry" in Sanskrit, [[spoiler:with the civilization that captured her being from across the ocean]].
* TheMedic: Mira is seen applying some sort of salve to the numerous wounds Fang sustains fighting the Viking villagers.
* MelancholyMoon: Her people appear to have worshipped the Moon, as she not only prays to it at night, but the symbolism of the crescent moon means enough to her that it was included in her pictograms depicting her capture.
* NiceGirl: She very quickly befriends Spear and Fang once she realizes they're not a threat and consistently treats them as equals [[spoiler:despite coming from a more advanced civilization]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her noble insistence that Spear help the other slaves escape in "Dawn of Man" rather than just her as he originally intended slows down their escape enough for the main Viking forces to return to the village, cornering the protagonists and indirectly forcing them to [[spoiler:commit a massacre]] in the following episode.
* NubileSavage: Downplayed and Inverted: [[UnkemptBeauty She is not ugly but also not well groomed]], [[spoiler:and she isn't even a savage, but comes from a more advanced civilization that was enslaved by invaders]].
* OneHeadTaller: She already has a long neck and stands a head taller than Spear since Neanderthals were kinda short.
* OutsideContextProblem: Not Mira herself, as she gets along with Fang and Spear just fine, but her introduction shows that there is a whole wide world out there that is more advanced than the primitive dinosaur-infested world. Mira has the ability to speak a language, the knowledge to season and cook food, knowing the psychology of animals like Fang with how she lures her up a mountain with food, the hinting of religion, shown when she seems to pray to the moon, and the chains and collar on her suggest that there are civilizations that have surpassed the Stone Age and perhaps even the Bronze Age. Civilizations that, if Mira's drawings are accurate, Fang and Spear will have to deal with.
* RealityHasNoSubtitles: The first character to actually speak, but in completely untranslated Arabic. Thankfully, she also draws out what she's saying with a stick into the sand so it's still possible for Spear and the audience to pick up what she's saying.
* ReligionIsMagic: Averted. Spear is even confused when it appears, unlike how it was with the witch coven from season 1, that her worshipping of the Moon doesn't seem to do anything when he tries it himself.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: [[spoiler:The large horned figure she drew alongside the scorpion insignia is revealed to have not been referring to a large horned bein but rather a Viking wearing a horned helmet and carrying a scorpion insignia, who was responsible for slaying her lover. It just so happens that there's an actual powerful demonic entity that greatly resembles her drawing.]]
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:She eventually becomes one to Spear, having a child by him after he dies of his wounds from his fight with the demonic Chieftain.]]
* SheCleansUpNicely: For most of the show, she's a slave dressed in plain rags and wearing no makeup or jewels. After she's captured by the Egyptians, she's [[GoGoEnslavement forced]] to wear a golden, [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring]] outfit with earrings and a slight mascara, accentuating her beauty.
* ShesGotLegs: She has long, thin legs as her white minidress shows.
* TheSilentBob: Unable to teach Spear her language, she usually doesn't say much during their travels, mostly communicating through gestures. Averts this with her own people as she becomes easily the most talkative character in the show.
* SlaveBrand: The back of her head is tattooed with a stylized scorpion, a symbol associated with those who enslaved her [[spoiler:as seen on the sail of the ship that recaptures her]]. [[spoiler:A flashback in "Echoes of Eternity" reveals that it's not a tattoo, but a ''burn brand''.]]
* SlaveCollar: First appears wearing a large wooden stockade-style collar.
* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: [[spoiler: Spear succumbs to the injuries he sustains fighting the empowered Chieftain in the finale of Season 2, but it's revealed at the very end that he and Mira had conceived a child after the battle.]]
* StatuesqueStunner: She's not at all bad looking and she's almost a whole foot taller than Spear and even slightly taller than several of her fellow slaves shown later on.
* SuddenlySpeaking: Halfway through the Season 1 finale, she suddenly says her own name. Therefore, she is the first character in the series to actually speak, though all of her dialogue is in Arabic.
* SupportPartyMember: Though she does what she can to assist in combat, she mostly supports the duo with a number of advanced societal skills such as medicine, sailing, navigation, carpentry, and cooking.
* ThroughHisStomach: Fang starts to tolerate her after tasting some of the food she makes, ironically liking it a lot more than Spear. Whose species is thought to have specifically used spices to make the raw meat he enjoys more palatable.
* TraumaticHaircut: [[spoiler: She used to have short black hair until she was enslaved by Vikings, who shaved and branded her head.]]
* {{Tritagonist}}: Once she reunites and joins with Spear and Fang in season 2, Mira becomes the third most focused character in the show.
* UglyGuyHotWife: [[spoiler:She and Spear don't marry in the traditional sense, but they do have this kind of relationship by the end of the series, with her being a tall and fairly attractive woman and him being a stereotypical Neanderthal-like caveman. It's especially pronounced when they conceive their child, as Spear is covered in horrific burn scars by that point.]]
* {{Worldbuilding}}: She shows that modern humans exist in this world.

* AllInTheManual: As usual, her name is never spoken on-screen, it only appears in the end credits.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She's shunned by the rest of her Coven for having lost her child, a child given to her by the matriarch.
* CleverCrows: Lula takes the form of a giant crow in order to challenge the shapeshifted matriarch.
* CommonalityConnection: The reason why she decides to help Spear and Fang - after learning that both of them are parents who lost their children, she feels a commonality to them.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: In a way, what the Witches were doing bound them to be damned. Lula's actions to save Spear and Fang, after learning how not so different they were, and knowing she will be killed for it, redeemed her from such a fate and reunited with her daughter in the afterlife.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Knowing she has no way to escape nor fight back, she calmly lets herself be killed by the matriarch to allow Fang and Spear to escape.
* HeelFaceTurn: At first willing to sacrifice Spear in order to get the coven another child, once she witnesses the bond between Spear and Fang and how it relates to her, she changes her mind and frees the duo despite knowing it would mean her death.
* HeroicSacrifice: She stalls and let's herself be killed by the matriarch in order to allow Fang and Spear to escape.
* MamaBear: She is fiercely protective of her daughter, hissing at the other witches while embracing her. When the child dies ChasingAButterfly, she's devastated.
* TokenGoodTeammate: She is the only one who seems reluctant to take part in the coven's rituals--she also stands out in that she's one of the few members to not have antlers on her head and to not beg for a child from the matriarch. In fact, after learning how Spear and Fang lost their respective families (and how they ultimately ended up bonding), and then remembering how she had lost her own daughter, Lula turns against the coven and frees the duo, [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished ultimately sacrificing herself in the process]].

* DoesNotSpeakCommon: Thus far, the only character in the main timeline apart from Mira to have dialogue, and like her, he does not deliver it in the audience's native English, speaking Gaellic instead.
* LeaveYourQuestTest: Offers to let Spear stay and live among his tribe, but Spear silently refuses.
* NiceGuy: From what we can tell he's a very amiable person and quickly befriends Spear.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He realizes that Spear is not a vicious savage, telling his tribesmen not to kill him and then placating the terrified caveman, offering him food, drink and a cure for his dislocated arm. He also offers Spear a place among his people and does not try to stop him when he refuses.

[[folder:Kamau]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kamau.png]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Imari Williams
A gigantic slave fighting for the Egyptians.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: His name is shown in the end credits.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Kamau looks human, but he's as big as Fang and strong enough to knock an elephant the size of a small sauropod on its ass. Judging by his height, he may be a ''Homo heidelbergensis'' from sub-Saharan Africa, which did grow to be close to seven feet tall, although he is easily over ten feet tall and looks like a modern human apart from his size. While his daughter seems human, we later see his people were some form of peaceful giants, captured by the Egyptians and pushed into slavery.
* AntiVillain: While he's presented as an antagonist to the trio, we learn shortly after he is being forced to fight for the Queen on pain of his daughter's death.
* AnnoyingArrows: After every battle he will be peppered with many arrows. He just shrugs them off by gently swiping his shoulders with his hands.
* BaldHeadOfToughness: He's completely bald and is easily the toughest foe Fang and Spear have encountered so far.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's actually quite gentle and pacifistic by nature, but when his daughter is threatened, he becomes an unstoppable fighting machine. Unfortunately, this motivated the Egyptian Queen to enslave him.
* CowardlyLion: He fears too much for his daughter's life to fight back against the Egyptian Queen in any meaningful capacity. It's not until he sees Spear, Fang, and Mira risk their lives to save her and [[spoiler:Fang's babies]] that he is inspired to gamble everything on one big daring fight for freedom.
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After spending a long time as the Queen's muscle and forced to commit atrocities lest his daughter is killed, he is able to pay back his captor the favor by throwing her overboard to her death in the climax of "The Colossaeus III".]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Subverted in that he's definitely not evil, but he only does horrible things because the Egyptian Queen has his daughter as a slave.
* {{Foil}}: A grim one to the viking Chieftain. While Kamau is a slave and the other a slaver, their respective love for their children causes them to both make dark deals with monstrous authority figures.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Subverted, as he as little issue killing others when defending his daughter, something that Ima exploits when capturing him, his entire tribe, and forcing him to fight for her. However, before they were attacked, when Amal was running about their home trying to kill a spider, Kamau gently catches the stick she was using, and instead captures the spider. He then releases it outside their home, implying that he certainly was this before, and was clearly intending to teach his daughter to be this as well.
* ForcedIntoEvil: Despite being incredibly powerful, he clearly does ''not'' enjoy what he does, and shows visible signs of trauma after he slaughters a peaceful village against his will. Understandably, he also hails from a pacific village.
* GentleGiant: We see in a flash back he is an incredibly gentle man, stopping his daughter from killing a spider while showing her how to safely release it. This seems to be a trait of his people who were so pacifistic they wouldn't try to fight back when the Egyptians attacked. Kamau's gentleness didn't stop him [[GoodIsNotSoft fighting for his daughter]] and unfortunately made the Queen realize what he was capable of. He was forced into service and is clearly haunted by the amount of bloodshed he's been responsible for.
* MadeASlave: He's a slave forced to fight for his captors.
* MadeOfIron: Mira shoots him right in the throat to no effect. Nothing else Mira or Spear can do to him does any damage, and it takes a bite from Fang to even ''begin'' to cause him pain. We later see that this isn't unique to him, all members of his tribe have incredible durability, the Queen slashing at them does nothing more than draw a bit of blood.
* ManlyTears: Kamau, while a musclebound giant, is rather prone to tears when he is separated from Amal or reunited with her. It's quite understandable considering the trauma they're going through.
* MeaningfulName: His name means "quiet warrior" in Kenyan, befitting for an incredibly strong and incredibly silent man.
* OneManArmy: Gives this vibe when he's introduced. The Egyptians have an entire docking ship with just him in it, which can fit numerous regular soldiers. He certainly outperforms them.
* PapaWolf: The only thing that motivates him to fight is when his daughter's life is on the line.
* PunchClockVillain: He only fought Spear, Fang, and Mira because his captors commanded him to. Though there is some definite tension over him inadvertently [[spoiler:killing one of Fang's newborn children]], he works alongside Spear and Fang without much actual issue after the latter two are made slaves themselves.
* ScaryBlackMan: He appears to be of African origin by his pronounced lips and dark skin tone (further supported by the fact that his name is Kenyan), and he's a near-unstoppable giant. Deconstructed as we soon realize that despite being a powerful brute, he has a good heart and only does evil things because he's forced to.
* TheStoic: He's highly inexpressive and nearly silent. The only sound he makes is a cry of pain when he's dogpiled by Spear, Fang and Mira. His only potential expression is one of quiet observation as he frequently watches Spear and Fang after they're captured. It's gradually revealed this is something of a coping mechanism for the horrors he's forced to perpetuate and endure as the Egyptians' massive attack dog, as he shows more emotion when interacting with his daughter, and [[spoiler:visibly begs the queen not to needlessly have him slaughter some villagers who surrendered peacefully to them, only to go [[HeroicBSOD completely stone-faced]] in [[ThousandYardStare wide-eyed horror]] as she forces him to brutalize them regardless]].
* SuperStrength: He's strong enough to fight Fang one on one and is able to catch a giant elephant's foot mid-stomp.
* ThousandYardStare: His understandable reaction to [[spoiler:the queen [[SadisticChoice forcing him]] to personally butcher an entire village that peacefully surrendered to them or lose his daughter]].
* WhenHeSmiles: Otherwise a harsh PerpetualFrowner, his face softens significantly when he's briefly allowed to see his daughter.
* YourSizeMayVary: Not to the extent of Fang, but he likewise shifts size frequently. When he first faces Fang he's as tall as her but no where near as massive. In later shots, he's much broader and occasionally taller in comparison to her. The easiest example is comparing when he first meets his daughter to when he frees her, where she goes from being small enough in comparison to him to hold in his arms to being tiny enough that she's smaller than his head.

The daughter of Kamau, kept prisoner by Ima in order to make him fight for her.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: Her name is shown in the end credits.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: She's a sweet child in a world of brutal warriors, held prisoner by an incredibly cruel Queen.
* DaddysGirl: Her mother is unseen and she's very much close to her father.
* IHaveYourDaughter: The Queen uses her as leverage to make Kamau do unspeakable things.
* MissingMom: It's not clear whether or not one of the captured villagers is the girl's mother, but Amal only ever interacts with her father on-screen with no female parent shown.
* MoralityPet: She exists to humanize Kamau. Ironically, she also has a part to play in the brutality Kamau is forced to take part in, if only because he's terrified of what will happen to her if he doesn't.

!!Notable Antagonists and Enemies
[[folder:The demon ('''Unmarked Spoilers''')]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_scorpion.png]]
A mysterious warlord from across the sea, who originally took Mira and her kin as slaves. At least, that's the way it seemed, turns out he does not know her people and is in fact much more powerful and terrifying than any human. When the Viking Chieftain starts dying after his battle with Fang and Spear, the entity transforms him into a demon to help the viking get his revenge.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: When it seemed Mira was drawing him, it was unclear whether he's just a large man [[HornyVikings wearing a horned helmet]] or some kind of demon or HornedHumanoid. Given the track record of the series so far, it could go either way. His appearance in Season 2 reveals that he is definitely ''not'' human, but his exact nature remains unexplained, save that he's unconnected to the vikings beyond a superficial similarity to his natural appearance, and apparently has an interest in the Chieftain for his antagonism with the Trio to satisfy his {{Revenge}}.
* BaitAndSwitch: Mira sketching his outline in the sand alongside her story of how she was MadeASlave and escaped hinted that he was the leader of the vikings, or at least involved in her people's enslavement in some manner. However, there is no hint of his presence of anything like him in the viking village, save the vague resemblance they possess to his natural appearance when wearing their helmets. His appearance before the Chieftain in a dream shows that man to be terrified and confused by him and his unexplained nature, showing that he's unaffiliated with the vikings at all, and later on is revealed to not even be known by Mira, with the horned figure in her drawings being simply the viking that murdered her friends and lover.
* BigBad: Ultimately {{subverted}}. The series seemingly builds up his threat with Mira's tale and the vikings' return in the second season, but ultimately he takes a backseat, never personally meet the heroes (though they do end up glimpsing his hand in the finale) and lets the Chieftain be his herald in the mortal world who threatens the heroes directly.
* TheBlank: When he finally makes an appearance, it's revealed that he has no facial features beyond a pair of glowing, fiery eyes.
* TheCorrupter: PlayedWith. He stokes the fires of vengeance in the Chieftain in "Vidarr" by showing him the carnage that befell his village in a dream and later offers him a chance to return from death with the temptation of going after Spear and Fang again, turning the man from caught off guard by the infernal realm he's in to angered enough to accept a DealWithTheDevil. But this is largely just throwing fuel on an already burning fire for the demon, who is mostly exploiting what's already there to keep the Chieftain focused on his revenge.
* TheDreaded: Once he appears he’s a figure of pure unadulterated dread.
* EvilIsBigger: He’s ‘‘enormous’’, as big or bigger than the ‘’Argentinosaurus''.
* EvilIsBurningHot: Not only does he reside in a FireAndBrimstoneHell, his eyes are ''literally'' burning hot.
* EvilOverlord: WordOfGod is that the demon is, whether the audience chooses to view him as literally Satan, the demi-god of Hell.
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: His realm consists of this.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Initially appeared to be the figure in Mira’s drawing and thus the larger antagonist of the series. His reveal as a demonic entity but one influencing the Chieftain keeps him in this spot.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: What exactly he's up to is ''really'' unclear. He takes an interest in the Chieftain's pursuit of the Trio for some reason and seems keen on stoking the flames of vengeance to keep it going. Once the Chieftain fatally burns Spear he immediately pulls him back rather than let him stay and kill Fang as well.
* HornsOfVillainy: Mira's drawings seemingly depict him as a giant of a man with horns on his head. While Season 2 confirms that he wasn't the figure she drew, it is nonetheless shown that even if he was the horns wouldn't be from a helmet -- [[HornedHumanoid they're part of his body]].
* KarmaHoudini: He suffers no repercussions for his actions and helping the Chieftain kill Spear, he even gets to drag the Chieftain back to his realm, presumably to eternally torture him for his amusement. The only relief is that he has no further interest in the heroes from that point forth.
* LoopholeAbuse: A possible interpretation as to why he drags The Chieftain back to hell. While he ultimately killed Spear, he didn't kill Fang, thus failing his deal.
* NoNameGiven: His name is never spoken in series. The reveal he is a demonic entity obviously changed this but the name remained.
* NotMeThisTime: Despite all the hints pointing to him being behind the slavers, it's revealed that he's a demonic entity who exists separately from them and never personally antagonizes anyone.
* OutsideContextProblem: Whatever the demon is, he and his followers have ships, bows and arrows, and metal tools. Fang and Spear have never seen any of those things.
** His first actual appearance reveals them to be this to the series itself. Magic isn't an unknown element in the story, but the Viking Chieftain's confused and terrified reaction to seeing a vision of the demon in his dreams implies that it's completely alien to him and his people's way of life, and furthermore, he has no idea why this enigmatic being has involved itself in his story.
** He also appears to be one to other supernatural or outright divine beings; when Valkyries descend to take the Chieftain to the Heavens, they are surprised when he is pulled from their grasp down into the demon's realm, implying they've never seen this kind of thing happen, at least not conventionally.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Their only identifiable facial feature are glowing red eyes.
* SatanicArchetype: They're a clearly malevolent, demonic, horned overlord who enslaves others into doing their bidding. Their first actual appearance has them appearing in a dream, stoking the chieftain's desire for {{Revenge}} upon Spear and Fang by granting him a vision of Rikka's death at Fang's jaws, a quest that ultimately costs the Chieftain his remaining son's life and leads to him hitting the DespairEventHorizon, apparently exactly as the being wanted.
** Part 1 of "The Colossaeus" takes this even further, strongly implying that he ''is'' Satan ([[CrystalDragonJesus or at least the setting's equivalent]]) or at least he's based on, [[MetaOrigin or could even be the basis of]], the many Satan/Devil-like characters of various cultures.
* TheUnfought: Never once fights or even confronts the heroes in any way, the closest they get is via proxy with their climatic final battle with the empowered Chieftain, his servant, and their brief glimpse of the demon's hand when he drags the Chieftain back to his realm, but that's as far as it gets.
* UnseenNoMore: He finally makes his full on-screen debut in "The Colossaeus, Part I", revealing himself to be a towering demonic entity either bathed in shadows or completely made up of it.

[[folder:The Chieftain]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chieftain.png]]
[[quoteright:350:]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see the Chieftain empowered]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chief_resurrected.png[[/labelnote]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/FredTatasciore
The leader of the marauders who enslaved Mira and many others. He and his eldest son, named [[ADogNamedDog Eldar]], arrived back to their home only to discover that everyone, including his wife and his youngest son, were brutally slaughtered by Spear and Fang. He becomes obsessed with revenge and vows to kill all who were responsible.
----
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: Despite killing Spear, the Chieftain gets dragged back to Hell and he never reunites with his family in the afterlife. His obsession with vengeance has cost him everything. And to add further insult to injury, his sworn enemy now has a daughter living happily.]]
* ArchEnemy: To Spear, Fang and Mira.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The Chieftain is the Vikings' leader and proves to be one of the most difficult opponents Spear has faced. However, like his wife, he doesn't stand any real chance against Fang in a straightforward fight.
* BigBad: More or less the main antagonist of the second season, with his desire for vengeance being one of the long-running plot points. Even when relegated to the background during the Colossaeus arc, his threat looms. He is also responsible for kidnapping Mira, killing some of her friends, having her lover murdered and enslaving her people in the first place. The Chieftain is the main threat in Spear and Fang's story as his recapture of Mira in the first season finale is the cause of the duo's quest to rescue her and her people and return her home.
* TheBlank: [[spoiler: Much like his new master, the transformed Chieftain has no face beyond a pair of glowing orange eyes. Though he does briefly take on his original face in his final battle with Spear and Fang.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: After the Chieftain dies, the demon yanks him from the afterlife and implicitly promises to give him the power he needs to finally kill Spear and Fang. The cost is being ReforgedIntoAMinion.]]
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: [[spoiler: After pledging his loyalty to demon, the entity transforms the Chieftain into an infernal being similar to itself.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: The Chieftain is on the verge of this after he finds his village and kin slaughtered, with it being made clear that [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Eldar's presence]] is the only thing helping him keep it together. When his son [[DisneyVillainDeath dies violently]] before his eyes the Chieftain just gives up entirely and allows the river currents to sweep him away and underneath in an attempt to [[TogetherInDeath join his people in death]]. He recovers and gets much worse when the demon yanks him into his realm.]]
* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:Once he completes his quest to kill Spear, he is dragged screaming back to Hell by the same entity that granted him his powers.]]
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler: The Chieftain is introduced as a badass Viking warrior. Then he pledges loyalty to the demon to get a second shot at revenge against Spear and Fang and is turned into a HumanoidAbomination capable of forming destructive weapons out of magma.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Slavers though they might be, they were a legitimately close family, and the deaths of Rikka and the youngest son completely devastate them and put them on the warpath against Spear and Fang. [[spoiler:After Eldar is killed, the Chieftain loses the will to live and lets himself drown in a river so that he can rejoin his family. And when the demon yanks him from a trip to sky and gives him the chance to take revenge on his family's killers, he jumps at the chance to avenge what he's lost.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even before he realized Rikka and his youngest son were dead, he was clearly disturbed by the massacre of his village.
* EvilIsBigger: Not only is he taller than Spear, [[spoiler:once he becomes the demon's minion he's even taller than Fang and possibly Kamau]].
* EvilCounterpart: He clearly has many parallels with Spear. For one, they both had a family of four, is often with their oldest sons, and loved their wives dearly. Spear losing his family made him close to the DespairEventHorizon and the Chieftain already went past it. Their closures even differ. Spear killing the ''Tyrannosaurus'' that killed his family gave him the closure he needed. The Chieftain got his revenge, but he gets DraggedOffToHell despite his power.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:His fate is him getting dragged off by the demonic entity into Hell, presumably to be tormented for eternity. Made even worse by the fact that the same entity denied him a peaceful death and reunion with his loved ones.]]
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:The last enemy that Spear and Fang fight together, which leads to the former's death.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Spear. Both are driven to revenge after their families are killed but while Spear realises how hollow vengeance is, the Chieftain becomes ever more obsessed and every loss makes him fall deeper into the well.
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:The Chieftain succeeds in killing Spear after burning him with his flames.]]
* InvincibleVillain: [[spoiler:Spear and Fang never defeat his empowered form in the traditional sense, on account of him being basically a giant made of fire and thus untouchable through conventional means. Instead, the Chieftain is dragged to Hell by the entity that empowered him, presumably because the entity sensed that Spear's wounds were fatal and thus the Chieftain's revenge had been fulfilled.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:The Chieftain was a slaver in life, and in death, he ends up becoming the slave of a much crueler master.]]
* MadeOfIron: In stark contrast to the other vikings, the Chieftain is tough as nails. Between his armor, large stature and skill, he takes several hard hits from Spear and survives a bite from Fang that split his villagers in two. He also survives being thrown off a giant bird, crashing into multiple trees and smashing his head on a rock. Eldar in contrast is, while clearly skilled, not built like his father and ultimately dies from a similar fall.
* MagmaMan: [[spoiler:The Chieftain is turned into nearly featureless giant that is constantly on fire and can manifest weapons out of magma after he pledges loyalty to the demon. For further emphasis, he emerges back into the world of the living in a manner not too dissimilar to a miniature volcanic eruption.]]
* MoralMyopia: The Chieftain and Eldar mourn the deaths of their community and then go after Spear and Fang in revenge, seemingly not realizing that they have just endured the same pain that they likely subjected numerous villages too. They had even arrived late because they were busy gathering more slaves.
* ParentChildTeam: A father and son duo on a quest for vengeance, both using all the resources at their disposal to battle the trio.
* PragmaticVillainy: The Chieftain and Eldar free their captured slaves once they return to the village and find that everyone there has been slaughtered, not out of any kindness, but because there was no viking village ''left'' for them to utilize/exploit the slaves in any meaningful way.
* PunchClockVillain: The Chieftain and Eldar's actions imply that raiding settlements and enslaving their people is simply just a business operation for their tribe. Once they change their objective to hunting down those that slaughtered their community, they have no problems freeing the slaves they brought with them -- albeit, simply because [[PragmaticVillainy they had no further use for them]]. Regardless, they at least don't kill the slaves as a means of getting rid of them, but it's made bluntly clear they really don't have [[NoSympathy any true kindness]] towards them either (shown especially by the haughty DeathGlare Eldar throws them as he tosses them the key).
* RapePillageAndBurn: He's the leader of a fierce group of slavers.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:After the Chieftain pledges his loyalty to the demon upon being dragged away from the Valkyries, the demonic entity literally burns away his humanity, leaving him nothing more than a large, nearly-featureless HumanoidAbomination that's constantly on fire, capable of creating weapons made of magma (according to a promo), and completely dedicated to wreaking vengeance against Spear and Fang.]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: The Chieftain losing his entire village, along with is beloved wife and youngest son, makes his a parallel to Spear's own tragic loss at the beginning of the story. However, unlike him, he was fortunate enough to have one of his sons with him on his trip, and thus he still has family alive when he discovers the loss of his home and family. However, rather than be grateful for what he still has, the Chief and Eldar arm themselves and prepare to hunt down Spear and Fang in revenge for their losses, rather than accepting them as a consequence of their slaving. [[spoiler:This ultimately results in Eldar's avoidable death and the Chieftain completely giving up the fight and [[DespairEventHorizon the will to live]], allowing his badly-battered body to be swept away by the river currents in an attempt to join the rest of his people only for his chance to be yanked when the Demon gives him the choice to go after Spear and Fang in a new demonic form. And his determination to get revenge still after losing everything ends with him DraggedOffToHell by the Demon that gave him his power, presumably to be tormented for eternity flat-out denying anything close to a happy ending for him.]]
* ScaledUp: [[spoiler:He transforms into a giant snake during his final battle with Spear]] in order to climb a cliff.
* ScissorsCutsRock: [[spoiler: One would think that the Chieftain's transformation into a monster composed of flame and magma would make him vulnerable to water. It doesn't, he is able to walk on the surface of water without hesitation.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler:Is apparently one of the abilities granted to him by his demonic transformation, [[ScaledUp seeing as he transforms into a giant snake during his final battle with Spear.]]]]

[[folder:Ima]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/queen_24.png]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Amina Koroma
The leader of the Egyptians.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: Her name is shown in the end credits, [[https://twitter.com/aminAKActs/status/1568618546439098374 which is later clarified by her voice actress on Twitter]].
* AmbiguouslyBi: Forces her female slaves to perform erotic dances for her amusement (and at least one of them seems to be [[StockholmSyndrome genuinely loyal to the queen]]), but also dances suggestively herself in front of the captured king of the Sea People. Of course, the former might just be a power play, and the latter ended with her kicking the king off a ledge to his death.
* ArcVillain: For the Colossaeus arc.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Despite her much slimmer build, she turns out to be quite the capable DanceBattler when she seemingly effortlessly dodges around Spear's wild swings and hits him hard enough to draw blood and momentarily daze him. [[spoiler:Then she tries to fight Kamau after he finally musters the courage to fight her oppression and proves to be completely ineffective.]]
* BareYourMidriff: She wears a red dress under her cape that leaves her midriff bare.
* TheBaroness: She's certainly beautiful, in charge, and has a serious nasty streak. The sadistic grin on her face when [[spoiler:she takes Fang's eggs hostage]] is just the beginning; in the next episode we learn that she also keeps Kamau's daughter as hostage, forcing him to kill her opponents [[KickTheDog even if they surrender without a fight]]. She is also well aware of her beauty, performing a seductive dance in front of the King of the Sea People right before murdering him in cold blood.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: [[spoiler:Brutally averted, when Kamau throws her to her death, she hits the ground and winds up realistically mangled on impact. Her limbs end up twisted and bloody, her neck snapped and one of her eyeballs even starts popping out of the socket.]]
* CoolCrown: She wears an Egyptian-style [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemes nemes]] to show off her authority.
* DanceBattler: Many of the strikes and grapples she uses against Spear are reminiscent of the dance routines she forces her slaves to perform and the dance she performed in front of the captured king of the Sea People.
* DarkActionGirl: She is capable of fighting with Spear, who has been fighting (and overcoming) monsters much bigger than her for a long time.
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:She meets her gruesome end at the climax of "The Collosaeus, Part III" when Kamau throws her off of the city ship down onto the boat Spear and his group have appropriated. She crashes through the roof and is unceremoniously splattered over the floor.]]
* DualWielding: She wields a pair of khopesh during her final confrontation with Spear.
* EvilEyebrows: She has high-arching eyebrows that give her a constant cruel expression regardless whether she's smiling or frowning. It's accentuated by her ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow.
* EvilIsPetty: Upon meeting peaceful villagers who openly welcome her and offer her food and other goods, she looks at what they offer, is clearly scornful, then returns to her boat making a gesture at Kamau to execute them. For the crime of not offering greater tribute. When Kamau brings their offerings to her in an attempt to sway her, she immediately threatens Amal. She's willing to have a village of peaceful people actively acquiescing to her slaughtered for the crime of not being rich enough for her.
* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: She's the only character wearing eyeshadow, and she's a cruel, sadistic warmonger.
* FragileSpeedster: She's agile enough to literally dance around the likes of Spear and Kamau to the point they can't lay a finger on her, but she lacks the power or durability either of them have and really isn't able to take hits on par with them. [[spoiler: This ultimately plays a huge part in her death, as she's left to face Kamau by herself. She can't inflict any real damage on him and once he gets his hands on her...]]
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She is the leader of a warmongering, slave-keeping civilization, [[spoiler:and she takes Fang's eggs as hostages with a sadistic smile on her face, forcing our heroes to fight for her]].
* HateSink: She is a vile woman who completely relishes lording her power over those she subjugates. Besides the honest to God smile she has on her face when [[spoiler:she holds Fang's newborn children hostage]], there's the fact that she forces Kamau to slaughter a ''surrendering'' village seemingly just because she can.
* HighHeelPower: She wears high heels, which signify her authority over her army. They're also pretty useful as CombatStilettos, as Spear found out.
* IHaveYourWife: The Queen takes [[spoiler:Fang's remaining two eggs]] as hostage in order to force Spear and Fang to fight for them. We eventually find out she did this to Kamau as well, keeping his daughter as a slave.
* InterimVillain: After the Chieftain undergoes his transformation and begins his pursuit, Ima stands in as the main antagonist for her arc, with the Chieftain returning to the forefront upon her death.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:After utilizing and blackmailing Kamau to perform heinous acts for so long, during the climax of "The Colossaeus III", Kamau grabs the queen and throws her overboard to her gruesome death, crashing through the roof of the boat Spear and his friends are on.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: She might try to press gang powerful fighters into her army but she knows dead well to avoid the SunkCostFallacy in keeping them; the second they prove more trouble than they're worth she'll get rid of them without a second thought.
* KickChick: While she can throw a punch if she has to, her preferred method of fighting is kicking.
* KickTheDog: During their marauding, the Egyptians encounter a pacifistic civilization who surrender immediately and offer their food as tribute. [[spoiler: The Queen orders Kamau to kill them all anyway.]]
* LovesOnlyGold: Her mission is to {{plunder}} as much gold and other treasure from everywhere she can. When a village offers her food as tribute (with the implication it will be a regular occurrence), she disgustedly has them all killed.
* MakeupIsEvil: She's the only character who is shown wearing excessive makeup (including [[ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow eyeshadow]] and lipstick), and is one of the most vile characters in the show. By contrast, the only other recurring female human, Mira, is a kind-hearted slave who wears no makeup at all.
* RightHandCat: She takes the Babylonian King's pet leopard cub for herself, and she raises it into adulthood to serve as her attack animal.
* {{Sadist}}: She seems to revel in tormenting both her servants and her opponents.
* SadisticChoice: She gives one to Kamau. Either he kills an entire village of peaceful and submissive people, or she gets his daughter killed.
* SilentAntagonist: Throughout her appearances, she never says a single word and only gives hand gestures. [[spoiler:She does scream in "The Colossaeus, Part III" when giving orders to attack and when Kamau throws her off the city ship.]]
* TheSociopath: She's a ruthless, cold-blooded monster of a greedy, self serving tyrant who thrives on exploiting other people's emotional attachments to her advantage and never once hints at having anything remotely close to a conscience. Even her adopting the leopard cub wasn't a PetTheDog moment. She just wanted another minion.
* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:She's unceremoniously thrown overboard by Kamau. Her crashing through the roof of Spear, Mira, and Fang's escape boat is almost treated like a darkly funny gag.]]
* VillainousValor: [[spoiler:After Kamau and his people escape captivity and surround her, she continues to try to attack Kamau, even though none of her attacks have an effect on him. It doesn't make her death when he tosses her overboard any more dignified.]]
* VisualPun: [[spoiler:Her own overconfidence and refusal to swallow her pride and run results in her making the extremely idiotic decision of facing a ''very'' pissed off Kamau who is no longer afraid to fight back against her in one-on-one combat, and she easily gets killed by him when he throws her off of the boat as hard as possible, causing her to rocket towards the roof of the escape boat that Spear, Fang, her hatchlings, and Mira were on, reducing her to a splattered mess. In other words, her pride came before her fall.]]
* WaifFu: She can hold her own in a fight, even unarmed, with a fighting style that focuses on speed and momentum, especially on using her legs to kick and grapple.
* WeakButSkilled: She doesn't have the kind of power that Spear or Kamau may bring to a fight but she is highly agile in battle, nimble enough that neither of them can even touch her in their respective fights while she can deliver DeathByAThousandCuts. [[spoiler: She ultimately gets killed when facing Kamau alone because she's effectively cornered and doesn't have the strength to cause him any real injuries, while he just has to get his hands on her to finish her off.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: Has taken Kamau's daughter as a hostage to force him to fight for her, and threatens to execute her whenever he becomes disobedient.
* XanatosSpeedChess: Part of what makes her so dangerous is her ability to quickly recognize and exploit unfolding events to her own advantage. [[spoiler:She ends the initial battle with the Trio by realizing that they want to protect Fang's eggs and takes them as leverage. When she tries to use said eggs to pacify Fang later and it fails to work she was fully willing to shatter one of them until she sees Spear is able to exert some influence on Fang, something she didn't expect but is all too happy to exploit for her own ends.]]

* AmbiguouslyBrown: He is drawn with a darker skin tone and bald compared to the scientists; several angles make it clear that this isn't just lighting. It generally makes sense given the tropes of the time period, but then again...
* AmbiguouslyHuman: This maniac may ''look'' like a deranged muscular human but the way how he exhibits frightening agility for his size, absorbs physical blows, bullets, and arrows like a sponge, and craves human flesh it's unlikely to even distinguish him as an ordinary human being. Charles himself lampshades the situation.
--> '''Charles''': I would argue that thing is barely human!
* AxCrazy: As it turns out, calling him "madman" is putting it ''quite'' mildly. He's an extremely violent individual who brutally kills and ''devours'' anyone unlucky enough to cross paths with him, and is seemingly devoid of any thoughts or desires other than torment innocent people and spread carnage. He's less like a man and more like the living enbodiment of savagery and humanity's more primitive and bloody aspects. And worse, despite his bestial nature, it's shown several times that [[ItCanThink he's still got enough human intelligence left in him to be very crafty and dangerous]] against armed opponents, making it clear that he's not killing because he's hungry or unaware of what he's really doing -- he's brutally murdering people because he ''wants'' to, and even takes sadistic glee out of tormenting people before he kills them.
* BaldOfEvil: He doesn't have a strand of hair on his head and is a murderous lunatic.
* BloodKnight: He brutishly relishes the vicious murders of anyone who crosses him. After ambushing Charles and Darlington, he goes right after the latter by decking him in the jaw. Darlington wipes the blood of his lip, takes off his jacket, and brings up both of his fists... The Madman '''grins''' at him. That said, he's shown to be incredulous, then genuinely pissed off when Darlington keeps landing blows on him whilst dodging his own attacks, suggesting he was looking forward to overpowering Darlington in a contest of pure strength, and upset when his opponent proves skilled enough to make him look like a fool.
* EvilCounterpart: To Spear. They're both wild and surprisingly-cunning berserkers with similar body types. While Spear only hunts and kills for survival and self-defense and can be empathetic, altruistic, and shows signs of reluctance and remorse, the Madman only kills ForTheEvulz and has complete LackOfEmpathy.
* EvilLaugh: Lets out a demented giggle when he realizes Charles and Darlington are reluctant to attack him while he's holding Blakely, and so he can use him as a human shield.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes glimmer in shadowy areas of the manor, usually whenever he uses unnatural stealth.
* ImAHumanitarian: Is introduced to the viewer snacking on Lord Darlington's butler, and subsequently takes huge bites of flesh out of all of his victims. However, whilst he uses this to kill, he's not afterwards seen eating the corpses of his victims, save the butler, and he loses interest in him when he sees the rest of the society, implying that he's killing them not out of need or hunger, but because he wants to enjoy the thrill of the hunt first and foremost.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:In the skull, courtesy of Lord Darlington.]]
* InsaneEqualsViolent: He's an escapee from an asylum who takes sick pleasure in maiming [[ImAHumanitarian and consuming]] his fellow man.
* ItCanThink: Initially appears to be nothing more than a savage monster, but has retained enough human intelligence to keep the more educated and better armed society on the back foot. He blocks off their attempt to exit the manor with a thrown dresser at the door, recognises when they've barricaded themselves inside a room and heads to the less well-defended windows at the back of the room to turn their own defences against them, opts to flee the room when Darlington arms himself with a gun and fires wildly at him, despite missing his shots, uses ambush tactics to surprise the group when they arm themselves with modern firearms, uses Blakely as a human shield and projectile to gain the advantage when they have a bead on him, recognises Darlington's attempt to fight him hand-to-hand and relishes the perceived chance to overpower him, and attempts to kill Lord Darlington by drowning him.
* MadeOfIron: Is able to take an insane amount of punishment. Punches, arrows, bullets, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking furniture]] all seem to have little effect. [[spoiler:The only thing that finally takes him down is when Lord Darlington reverts to his "primal instinct" and attacks him in a frenzied manner with a sharp stick, finally impaling him through the head.]]
* NoNameGiven: He's only ever referred to as The Madman.
* RunningOnAllFours: Constantly prances around and towards his victims in the vein of a savage and bestial gait of a gorilla.
* {{Sadist}}: He may choose to eat human meat because of his insanity, but his hunting tactics and focus on the alive members of the society over the dead corpses left around the mansion makes it clear he's not killing them out of need for sustenance, but because he relishes stalking and killing his prey. He even goes out of his way to show himself to the survivors [[JumpScare unexpectedly]] to scare them and relishes their fear as he prepares to bite into them. [[spoiler:When he has Darlington pinned down and is drowning him, he notes with dissatisfaction that Darlington is barely conscious and can't give him the fearful reaction he wants, so he throws him aside and starts biting into Charles instead to have more fun out of his next kill, and hopefully intimidate Darlington with his impending death]].
* ScaryTeeth: He has rows of jagged fangs.
* SlasherSmile: Outside of the instances where he's on the receiving end of damage, he constantly has this stretched across his face, showing off his rows of fangs.
* TattooedCrook: His chest and back are tattooed; they include a large skull with snakes coming out of its eye sockets, and the word "DEATH".
* TranquilFury: He is clearly having the time of his life stalking, hunting and hurting the society's members one by one, but when [[spoiler:Darlington starts beating him in a fist-fight, his mood clearly sours, and he gets noticeably annoyed both by Darlington actually repeatedly hurting him and showing no fear towards him as he wails on him. When he disarms Darlington of his weapons in the greenhouse, he pulls out the arrows he was shot with, marches right up to him and lets him repeatedly punch him in the face until Darlington tires out, all with a frozen look of simmering anger on his face, enraged that Darlington was good enough to actually hurt him and clearly wanting to return the favour tenfold]].
* VillainousBreakdown: He's slaughtered many of the people in the mansion left and right and seemed to be practically unbeatable whenever the scientists try to avoid him. He even seems to be aware of how terrifying he is. Right when he attacks Charles and Darlington (who were both armed) he targets the latter, but what he didn't expect is that the man happens to be a boxing champion. His PsychoticSmirk disappeared the moment he got struck square in the face. The more he kept getting walloped by Darlington's punches, the more increasingly agitated he became by his fighting skills until he started to grab ahold of Darlington's neck. [[spoiler: Darlington puts the psychopath on the defensive a second time when he weaponizes the sharp end of a broken tree branch and begins his assault by stabbing him countless times while he's yowling out of pain and starts visibly ''limping'' from his wounds.]]
* TheVoiceless: Never says a word throughout the entire episode, his only vocalizations being [[TitleDrop primal]] grunts and yells. Slightly subverted as when Darlington punches him in the face a second time, he seems to [[RageBreakingPoint yell "DIE" at him]], but it's so garbled to be almost completely unintelligible.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Has dull yellow sclera that goes along with his wicked and deranged personality. [[spoiler:The sneakiness part is also terrifyingly displayed, even though he's larger than the other scientists he's able to obscure himself and strikes unannounced.]]

!!!Season One
[[folder:Mira]]
[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mira_1.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:240:[[labelnote:Click here to see her before her enslavement]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mira_hair.png[[/labelnote]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Laetitia Eido-Mollon
A ''Homo sapiens'' (modern human) woman whom Spear and Fang save from a pliosaur and later befriend.
----
* ActionGirl: Mira is a capable survivor, archer and fighter, and can pull her own weight during her adventures with Spear and Fang.
%%* AmazonianBeauty: Not as bulky or overtly muscular as others, but she does have an athletic and defined build, and can be just as much of a warrior as Spear.
* BadassNormal: She never exhibits the same level of CharlesAtlasSuperpower as Spear, but she makes do with her modern cunning.
* BarefootCaptives: It's unknown whether her people wore shoes or sandals, but by the time she meets Spear and Fang she has nothing on her feet.
* BareYourMidriff: When enslaved by the Egyptian queen, her GoGoEnslavement has this as a feature.
* TheDeterminator: Swam miles of monster-infested ocean to escape her slavers while still heavily manacled.
* DoesNotSpeakCommon: All of her dialogue is in Arabic, while the show's audience are presumed to be English-speakers. As she's the first character in the series to any dialogue at all, and accompanies most of her dialogue with visual aids, she is, unlike most characters who fit this trope, the ''least'' [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]] character in the series prior to the appearance of the Historical Society.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: She is unsatisfied with eating raw meat, and cooks up a stew from it and some vegetables she finds, though this probably has more to do with her status as a proper ''Homo Sapiens'' than her sex. Spear is very confused by the idea, but Fang is enticed by the smell and eagerly gobbles it up.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: When hunting a feathered oviraptorsaur dinosaur, Spear first tries to stab it with his spear, and Mira fires an arrow from her newly-constructed bow. Downplayed in that Spear also throws his spear, but it doesn't have much finesse. It's also justified because Spear has clearly never even seen this sort of advanced weapon before, and he later manages to use the bow perfectly fine (with his spear as the arrow). Played straighter in Season 2, where she defaults to the bow and arrow as a weapon of choice.
* HeartbrokenBadass: She's a capable survivor [[spoiler:who was forced to watch as a Viking struck down her lover, before she was choked out, captured, and painfully branded.]]
* InterspeciesRelationship: [[spoiler: With Spear at the end of the series, the two producing a daughter together]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Barring the midpoint two-episode arc, Season 1 is a chiefly episodic package, but Mira's entrance introduces a more serialized narrative that defines Season 2.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: She is shown in the Season 1 finale as a new ally to Spear and Fang.
* MadeASlave: Relates to Spear how she used to have a normal life in a village before an outside civilization [[RapePillageAndBurn raided her village]] and enslaved those they had not killed. It happened again when she, Fang, ans Spear were captured by the Egyptians.
* MeaningfulName: Her name means "Kindness" in several languages, and she's the first unfailingly benevolent force that Spear and Fang meet. In addition, her name can mean "Ocean" or "Boundry" in Sanskrit, [[spoiler:with the civilization that captured her being from across the ocean]].
* TheMedic: Mira is seen applying some sort of salve to the numerous wounds Fang sustains fighting the Viking villagers.
* MelancholyMoon: Her people appear to have worshipped the Moon, as she not only prays to it at night, but the symbolism of the crescent moon means enough to her that it was included in her pictograms depicting her capture.
* NiceGirl: She very quickly befriends Spear and Fang once she realizes they're not a threat and consistently treats them as equals [[spoiler:despite coming from a more advanced civilization]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her noble insistence that Spear help the other slaves escape in "Dawn of Man" rather than just her as he originally intended slows down their escape enough for the main Viking forces to return to the village, cornering the protagonists and indirectly forcing them to [[spoiler:commit a massacre]] in the following episode.
* NubileSavage: Downplayed and Inverted: [[UnkemptBeauty She is not ugly but also not well groomed]], [[spoiler:and she isn't even a savage, but comes from a more advanced civilization that was enslaved by invaders]].
* OneHeadTaller: She already has a long neck and stands a head taller than Spear since Neanderthals were kinda short.
* OutsideContextProblem: Not Mira herself, as she gets along with Fang and Spear just fine, but her introduction shows that there is a whole wide world out there that is more advanced than the primitive dinosaur-infested world. Mira has the ability to speak a language, the knowledge to season and cook food, knowing the psychology of animals like Fang with how she lures her up a mountain with food, the hinting of religion, shown when she seems to pray to the moon, and the chains and collar on her suggest that there are civilizations that have surpassed the Stone Age and perhaps even the Bronze Age. Civilizations that, if Mira's drawings are accurate, Fang and Spear will have to deal with.
* RealityHasNoSubtitles: The first character to actually speak, but in completely untranslated Arabic. Thankfully, she also draws out what she's saying with a stick into the sand so it's still possible for Spear and the audience to pick up what she's saying.
* ReligionIsMagic: Averted. Spear is even confused when it appears, unlike how it was with the witch coven from season 1, that her worshipping of the Moon doesn't seem to do anything when he tries it himself.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: [[spoiler:The large horned figure she drew alongside the scorpion insignia is revealed to have not been referring to a large horned bein but rather a Viking wearing a horned helmet and carrying a scorpion insignia, who was responsible for slaying her lover. It just so happens that there's an actual powerful demonic entity that greatly resembles her drawing.]]
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:She eventually becomes one to Spear, having a child by him after he dies of his wounds from his fight with the demonic Chieftain.]]
* SheCleansUpNicely: For most of the show, she's a slave dressed in plain rags and wearing no makeup or jewels. After she's captured by the Egyptians, she's [[GoGoEnslavement forced]] to wear a golden, [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring]] outfit with earrings and a slight mascara, accentuating her beauty.
* ShesGotLegs: She has long, thin legs as her white minidress shows.
* TheSilentBob: Unable to teach Spear her language, she usually doesn't say much during their travels, mostly communicating through gestures. Averts this with her own people as she becomes easily the most talkative character in the show.
* SlaveBrand: The back of her head is tattooed with a stylized scorpion, a symbol associated with those who enslaved her [[spoiler:as seen on the sail of the ship that recaptures her]]. [[spoiler:A flashback in "Echoes of Eternity" reveals that it's not a tattoo, but a ''burn brand''.]]
* SlaveCollar: First appears wearing a large wooden stockade-style collar.
* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: [[spoiler: Spear succumbs to the injuries he sustains fighting the empowered Chieftain in the finale of Season 2, but it's revealed at the very end that he and Mira had conceived a child after the battle.]]
* StatuesqueStunner: She's not at all bad looking and she's almost a whole foot taller than Spear and even slightly taller than several of her fellow slaves shown later on.
* SuddenlySpeaking: Halfway through the Season 1 finale, she suddenly says her own name. Therefore, she is the first character in the series to actually speak, though all of her dialogue is in Arabic.
* SupportPartyMember: Though she does what she can to assist in combat, she mostly supports the duo with a number of advanced societal skills such as medicine, sailing, navigation, carpentry, and cooking.
* ThroughHisStomach: Fang starts to tolerate her after tasting some of the food she makes, ironically liking it a lot more than Spear. Whose species is thought to have specifically used spices to make the raw meat he enjoys more palatable.
* TraumaticHaircut: [[spoiler: She used to have short black hair until she was enslaved by Vikings, who shaved and branded her head.]]
* {{Tritagonist}}: Once she reunites and joins with Spear and Fang in season 2, Mira becomes the third most focused character in the show.
* UglyGuyHotWife: [[spoiler:She and Spear don't marry in the traditional sense, but they do have this kind of relationship by the end of the series, with her being a tall and fairly attractive woman and him being a stereotypical Neanderthal-like caveman. It's especially pronounced when they conceive their child, as Spear is covered in horrific burn scars by that point.]]
* {{Worldbuilding}}: She shows that modern humans exist in this world.

[[folder:Lula]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Amanda Troop
The good witch who helps Spear and Fang escape the Coven after finding out some commonalities with them.
----
* AllInTheManual: As usual, her name is never spoken on-screen, it only appears in the end credits.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She's shunned by the rest of her Coven for having lost her child, a child given to her by the matriarch.
* CleverCrows: Lula takes the form of a giant crow in order to challenge the shapeshifted matriarch.
* CommonalityConnection: The reason why she decides to help Spear and Fang - after learning that both of them are parents who lost their children, she feels a commonality to them.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: In a way, what the Witches were doing bound them to be damned. Lula's actions to save Spear and Fang, after learning how not so different they were, and knowing she will be killed for it, redeemed her from such a fate and reunited with her daughter in the afterlife.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Knowing she has no way to escape nor fight back, she calmly lets herself be killed by the matriarch to allow Fang and Spear to escape.
* HeelFaceTurn: At first willing to sacrifice Spear in order to get the coven another child, once she witnesses the bond between Spear and Fang and how it relates to her, she changes her mind and frees the duo despite knowing it would mean her death.
* HeroicSacrifice: She stalls and let's herself be killed by the matriarch in order to allow Fang and Spear to escape.
* MamaBear: She is fiercely protective of her daughter, hissing at the other witches while embracing her. When the child dies ChasingAButterfly, she's devastated.
* TokenGoodTeammate: She is the only one who seems reluctant to take part in the coven's rituals--she also stands out in that she's one of the few members to not have antlers on her head and to not beg for a child from the matriarch. In fact, after learning how Spear and Fang lost their respective families (and how they ultimately ended up bonding), and then remembering how she had lost her own daughter, Lula turns against the coven and frees the duo, [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished ultimately sacrificing herself in the process]].

!!!Season Two
[[folder:The Celtic Chief]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/celtic_chief_primal.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Is féidir leat fanacht linn."''[[note]]"You can stay with us."[[/note]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Adam Fergus
The Chief of the Celtic Tribe. Unlike his subjects, he's quick to recognize that Spear is intelligent and can be reasoned with, and the two begin to form a bond.
----
* BlingOfWar: Wears a golden torc, an important piece of jewelry for warriors in Celtic societies.
* DoesNotSpeakCommon: Thus far, the only character in the main timeline apart from Mira to have dialogue, and like her, he does not deliver it in the audience's native English, speaking Gaellic instead.
* LeaveYourQuestTest: Offers to let Spear stay and live among his tribe, but Spear silently refuses.
* NiceGuy: From what we can tell he's a very amiable person and quickly befriends Spear.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He realizes that Spear is not a vicious savage, telling his tribesmen not to kill him and then placating the terrified caveman, offering him food, drink and a cure for his dislocated arm. He also offers Spear a place among his people and does not try to stop him when he refuses.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Kamau]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kamau.png]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Imari Williams
A gigantic slave fighting for the Egyptians.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: His name is shown in the end credits.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Kamau looks human, but he's as big as Fang and strong enough to knock an elephant the size of a small sauropod on its ass. Judging by his height, he may be a ''Homo heidelbergensis'' from sub-Saharan Africa, which did grow to be close to seven feet tall, although he is easily over ten feet tall and looks like a modern human apart from his size. While his daughter seems human, we later see his people were some form of peaceful giants, captured by the Egyptians and pushed into slavery.
* AntiVillain: While he's presented as an antagonist to the trio, we learn shortly after he is being forced to fight for the Queen on pain of his daughter's death.
* AnnoyingArrows: After every battle he will be peppered with many arrows. He just shrugs them off by gently swiping his shoulders with his hands.
* BaldHeadOfToughness: He's completely bald and is easily the toughest foe Fang and Spear have encountered so far.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's actually quite gentle and pacifistic by nature, but when his daughter is threatened, he becomes an unstoppable fighting machine. Unfortunately, this motivated the Egyptian Queen to enslave him.
* CowardlyLion: He fears too much for his daughter's life to fight back against the Egyptian Queen in any meaningful capacity. It's not until he sees Spear, Fang, and Mira risk their lives to save her and [[spoiler:Fang's babies]] that he is inspired to gamble everything on one big daring fight for freedom.
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After spending a long time as the Queen's muscle and forced to commit atrocities lest his daughter is killed, he is able to pay back his captor the favor by throwing her overboard to her death in the climax of "The Colossaeus III".]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Subverted in that he's definitely not evil, but he only does horrible things because the Egyptian Queen has his daughter as a slave.
* {{Foil}}: A grim one to the viking Chieftain. While Kamau is a slave and the other a slaver, their respective love for their children causes them to both make dark deals with monstrous authority figures.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Subverted, as he as little issue killing others when defending his daughter, something that Ima exploits when capturing him, his entire tribe, and forcing him to fight for her. However, before they were attacked, when Amal was running about their home trying to kill a spider, Kamau gently catches the stick she was using, and instead captures the spider. He then releases it outside their home, implying that he certainly was this before, and was clearly intending to teach his daughter to be this as well.
* ForcedIntoEvil: Despite being incredibly powerful, he clearly does ''not'' enjoy what he does, and shows visible signs of trauma after he slaughters a peaceful village against his will. Understandably, he also hails from a pacific village.
* GentleGiant: We see in a flash back he is an incredibly gentle man, stopping his daughter from killing a spider while showing her how to safely release it. This seems to be a trait of his people who were so pacifistic they wouldn't try to fight back when the Egyptians attacked. Kamau's gentleness didn't stop him [[GoodIsNotSoft fighting for his daughter]] and unfortunately made the Queen realize what he was capable of. He was forced into service and is clearly haunted by the amount of bloodshed he's been responsible for.
* MadeASlave: He's a slave forced to fight for his captors.
* MadeOfIron: Mira shoots him right in the throat to no effect. Nothing else Mira or Spear can do to him does any damage, and it takes a bite from Fang to even ''begin'' to cause him pain. We later see that this isn't unique to him, all members of his tribe have incredible durability, the Queen slashing at them does nothing more than draw a bit of blood.
* ManlyTears: Kamau, while a musclebound giant, is rather prone to tears when he is separated from Amal or reunited with her. It's quite understandable considering the trauma they're going through.
* MeaningfulName: His name means "quiet warrior" in Kenyan, befitting for an incredibly strong and incredibly silent man.
* OneManArmy: Gives this vibe when he's introduced. The Egyptians have an entire docking ship with just him in it, which can fit numerous regular soldiers. He certainly outperforms them.
* PapaWolf: The only thing that motivates him to fight is when his daughter's life is on the line.
* PunchClockVillain: He only fought Spear, Fang, and Mira because his captors commanded him to. Though there is some definite tension over him inadvertently [[spoiler:killing one of Fang's newborn children]], he works alongside Spear and Fang without much actual issue after the latter two are made slaves themselves.
* ScaryBlackMan: He appears to be of African origin by his pronounced lips and dark skin tone (further supported by the fact that his name is Kenyan), and he's a near-unstoppable giant. Deconstructed as we soon realize that despite being a powerful brute, he has a good heart and only does evil things because he's forced to.
* TheStoic: He's highly inexpressive and nearly silent. The only sound he makes is a cry of pain when he's dogpiled by Spear, Fang and Mira. His only potential expression is one of quiet observation as he frequently watches Spear and Fang after they're captured. It's gradually revealed this is something of a coping mechanism for the horrors he's forced to perpetuate and endure as the Egyptians' massive attack dog, as he shows more emotion when interacting with his daughter, and [[spoiler:visibly begs the queen not to needlessly have him slaughter some villagers who surrendered peacefully to them, only to go [[HeroicBSOD completely stone-faced]] in [[ThousandYardStare wide-eyed horror]] as she forces him to brutalize them regardless]].
* SuperStrength: He's strong enough to fight Fang one on one and is able to catch a giant elephant's foot mid-stomp.
* ThousandYardStare: His understandable reaction to [[spoiler:the queen [[SadisticChoice forcing him]] to personally butcher an entire village that peacefully surrendered to them or lose his daughter]].
* WhenHeSmiles: Otherwise a harsh PerpetualFrowner, his face softens significantly when he's briefly allowed to see his daughter.
* YourSizeMayVary: Not to the extent of Fang, but he likewise shifts size frequently. When he first faces Fang he's as tall as her but no where near as massive. In later shots, he's much broader and occasionally taller in comparison to her. The easiest example is comparing when he first meets his daughter to when he frees her, where she goes from being small enough in comparison to him to hold in his arms to being tiny enough that she's smaller than his head.

[[folder:Amal]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amal_5.jpg]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Hillary Hawkins
The daughter of Kamau, kept prisoner by Ima in order to make him fight for her.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: Her name is shown in the end credits.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: She's a sweet child in a world of brutal warriors, held prisoner by an incredibly cruel Queen.
* DaddysGirl: Her mother is unseen and she's very much close to her father.
* IHaveYourDaughter: The Queen uses her as leverage to make Kamau do unspeakable things.
* MissingMom: It's not clear whether or not one of the captured villagers is the girl's mother, but Amal only ever interacts with her father on-screen with no female parent shown.
* MoralityPet: She exists to humanize Kamau. Ironically, she also has a part to play in the brutality Kamau is forced to take part in, if only because he's terrified of what will happen to her if he doesn't.

!!Notable Antagonists and Enemies
[[folder:The demon ('''Unmarked Spoilers''')]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_scorpion.png]]
A mysterious warlord from across the sea, who originally took Mira and her kin as slaves. At least, that's the way it seemed, turns out he does not know her people and is in fact much more powerful and terrifying than any human. When the Viking Chieftain starts dying after his battle with Fang and Spear, the entity transforms him into a demon to help the viking get his revenge.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: When it seemed Mira was drawing him, it was unclear whether he's just a large man [[HornyVikings wearing a horned helmet]] or some kind of demon or HornedHumanoid. Given the track record of the series so far, it could go either way. His appearance in Season 2 reveals that he is definitely ''not'' human, but his exact nature remains unexplained, save that he's unconnected to the vikings beyond a superficial similarity to his natural appearance, and apparently has an interest in the Chieftain for his antagonism with the Trio to satisfy his {{Revenge}}.
* BaitAndSwitch: Mira sketching his outline in the sand alongside her story of how she was MadeASlave and escaped hinted that he was the leader of the vikings, or at least involved in her people's enslavement in some manner. However, there is no hint of his presence of anything like him in the viking village, save the vague resemblance they possess to his natural appearance when wearing their helmets. His appearance before the Chieftain in a dream shows that man to be terrified and confused by him and his unexplained nature, showing that he's unaffiliated with the vikings at all, and later on is revealed to not even be known by Mira, with the horned figure in her drawings being simply the viking that murdered her friends and lover.
* BigBad: Ultimately {{subverted}}. The series seemingly builds up his threat with Mira's tale and the vikings' return in the second season, but ultimately he takes a backseat, never personally meet the heroes (though they do end up glimpsing his hand in the finale) and lets the Chieftain be his herald in the mortal world who threatens the heroes directly.
* TheBlank: When he finally makes an appearance, it's revealed that he has no facial features beyond a pair of glowing, fiery eyes.
* TheCorrupter: PlayedWith. He stokes the fires of vengeance in the Chieftain in "Vidarr" by showing him the carnage that befell his village in a dream and later offers him a chance to return from death with the temptation of going after Spear and Fang again, turning the man from caught off guard by the infernal realm he's in to angered enough to accept a DealWithTheDevil. But this is largely just throwing fuel on an already burning fire for the demon, who is mostly exploiting what's already there to keep the Chieftain focused on his revenge.
* TheDreaded: Once he appears he’s a figure of pure unadulterated dread.
* EvilIsBigger: He’s ‘‘enormous’’, as big or bigger than the ‘’Argentinosaurus''.
* EvilIsBurningHot: Not only does he reside in a FireAndBrimstoneHell, his eyes are ''literally'' burning hot.
* EvilOverlord: WordOfGod is that the demon is, whether the audience chooses to view him as literally Satan, the demi-god of Hell.
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: His realm consists of this.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Initially appeared to be the figure in Mira’s drawing and thus the larger antagonist of the series. His reveal as a demonic entity but one influencing the Chieftain keeps him in this spot.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: What exactly he's up to is ''really'' unclear. He takes an interest in the Chieftain's pursuit of the Trio for some reason and seems keen on stoking the flames of vengeance to keep it going. Once the Chieftain fatally burns Spear he immediately pulls him back rather than let him stay and kill Fang as well.
* HornsOfVillainy: Mira's drawings seemingly depict him as a giant of a man with horns on his head. While Season 2 confirms that he wasn't the figure she drew, it is nonetheless shown that even if he was the horns wouldn't be from a helmet -- [[HornedHumanoid they're part of his body]].
* KarmaHoudini: He suffers no repercussions for his actions and helping the Chieftain kill Spear, he even gets to drag the Chieftain back to his realm, presumably to eternally torture him for his amusement. The only relief is that he has no further interest in the heroes from that point forth.
* LoopholeAbuse: A possible interpretation as to why he drags The Chieftain back to hell. While he ultimately killed Spear, he didn't kill Fang, thus failing his deal.
* NoNameGiven: His name is never spoken in series. The reveal he is a demonic entity obviously changed this but the name remained.
* NotMeThisTime: Despite all the hints pointing to him being behind the slavers, it's revealed that he's a demonic entity who exists separately from them and never personally antagonizes anyone.
* OutsideContextProblem: Whatever the demon is, he and his followers have ships, bows and arrows, and metal tools. Fang and Spear have never seen any of those things.
** His first actual appearance reveals them to be this to the series itself. Magic isn't an unknown element in the story, but the Viking Chieftain's confused and terrified reaction to seeing a vision of the demon in his dreams implies that it's completely alien to him and his people's way of life, and furthermore, he has no idea why this enigmatic being has involved itself in his story.
** He also appears to be one to other supernatural or outright divine beings; when Valkyries descend to take the Chieftain to the Heavens, they are surprised when he is pulled from their grasp down into the demon's realm, implying they've never seen this kind of thing happen, at least not conventionally.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Their only identifiable facial feature are glowing red eyes.
* SatanicArchetype: They're a clearly malevolent, demonic, horned overlord who enslaves others into doing their bidding. Their first actual appearance has them appearing in a dream, stoking the chieftain's desire for {{Revenge}} upon Spear and Fang by granting him a vision of Rikka's death at Fang's jaws, a quest that ultimately costs the Chieftain his remaining son's life and leads to him hitting the DespairEventHorizon, apparently exactly as the being wanted.
** Part 1 of "The Colossaeus" takes this even further, strongly implying that he ''is'' Satan ([[CrystalDragonJesus or at least the setting's equivalent]]) or at least he's based on, [[MetaOrigin or could even be the basis of]], the many Satan/Devil-like characters of various cultures.
* TheUnfought: Never once fights or even confronts the heroes in any way, the closest they get is via proxy with their climatic final battle with the empowered Chieftain, his servant, and their brief glimpse of the demon's hand when he drags the Chieftain back to his realm, but that's as far as it gets.
* UnseenNoMore: He finally makes his full on-screen debut in "The Colossaeus, Part I", revealing himself to be a towering demonic entity either bathed in shadows or completely made up of it.

-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/FredTatasciore
The leader of the marauders who enslaved Mira and many others. He and his eldest son, named [[ADogNamedDog Eldar]], arrived back to their home only to discover that everyone, including his wife and his youngest son, were brutally slaughtered by Spear and Fang. He becomes obsessed with revenge and vows to kill all who were responsible.
----
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: Despite killing Spear, the Chieftain gets dragged back to Hell and he never reunites with his family in the afterlife. His obsession with vengeance has cost him everything. And to add further insult to injury, his sworn enemy now has a daughter living happily.]]
* ArchEnemy: To Spear, Fang and Mira.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The Chieftain is the Vikings' leader and proves to be one of the most difficult opponents Spear has faced. However, like his wife, he doesn't stand any real chance against Fang in a straightforward fight.
* BigBad: More or less the main antagonist of the second season, with his desire for vengeance being one of the long-running plot points. Even when relegated to the background during the Colossaeus arc, his threat looms. He is also responsible for kidnapping Mira, killing some of her friends, having her lover murdered and enslaving her people in the first place. The Chieftain is the main threat in Spear and Fang's story as his recapture of Mira in the first season finale is the cause of the duo's quest to rescue her and her people and return her home.
* TheBlank: [[spoiler: Much like his new master, the transformed Chieftain has no face beyond a pair of glowing orange eyes. Though he does briefly take on his original face in his final battle with Spear and Fang.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: After the Chieftain dies, the demon yanks him from the afterlife and implicitly promises to give him the power he needs to finally kill Spear and Fang. The cost is being ReforgedIntoAMinion.]]
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: [[spoiler: After pledging his loyalty to demon, the entity transforms the Chieftain into an infernal being similar to itself.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: The Chieftain is on the verge of this after he finds his village and kin slaughtered, with it being made clear that [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Eldar's presence]] is the only thing helping him keep it together. When his son [[DisneyVillainDeath dies violently]] before his eyes the Chieftain just gives up entirely and allows the river currents to sweep him away and underneath in an attempt to [[TogetherInDeath join his people in death]]. He recovers and gets much worse when the demon yanks him into his realm.]]
* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:Once he completes his quest to kill Spear, he is dragged screaming back to Hell by the same entity that granted him his powers.]]
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler: The Chieftain is introduced as a badass Viking warrior. Then he pledges loyalty to the demon to get a second shot at revenge against Spear and Fang and is turned into a HumanoidAbomination capable of forming destructive weapons out of magma.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Slavers though they might be, they were a legitimately close family, and the deaths of Rikka and the youngest son completely devastate them and put them on the warpath against Spear and Fang. [[spoiler:After Eldar is killed, the Chieftain loses the will to live and lets himself drown in a river so that he can rejoin his family. And when the demon yanks him from a trip to sky and gives him the chance to take revenge on his family's killers, he jumps at the chance to avenge what he's lost.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even before he realized Rikka and his youngest son were dead, he was clearly disturbed by the massacre of his village.
* EvilIsBigger: Not only is he taller than Spear, [[spoiler:once he becomes the demon's minion he's even taller than Fang and possibly Kamau]].
* EvilCounterpart: He clearly has many parallels with Spear. For one, they both had a family of four, is often with their oldest sons, and loved their wives dearly. Spear losing his family made him close to the DespairEventHorizon and the Chieftain already went past it. Their closures even differ. Spear killing the ''Tyrannosaurus'' that killed his family gave him the closure he needed. The Chieftain got his revenge, but he gets DraggedOffToHell despite his power.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:His fate is him getting dragged off by the demonic entity into Hell, presumably to be tormented for eternity. Made even worse by the fact that the same entity denied him a peaceful death and reunion with his loved ones.]]
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:The last enemy that Spear and Fang fight together, which leads to the former's death.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Spear. Both are driven to revenge after their families are killed but while Spear realises how hollow vengeance is, the Chieftain becomes ever more obsessed and every loss makes him fall deeper into the well.
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:The Chieftain succeeds in killing Spear after burning him with his flames.]]
* InvincibleVillain: [[spoiler:Spear and Fang never defeat his empowered form in the traditional sense, on account of him being basically a giant made of fire and thus untouchable through conventional means. Instead, the Chieftain is dragged to Hell by the entity that empowered him, presumably because the entity sensed that Spear's wounds were fatal and thus the Chieftain's revenge had been fulfilled.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:The Chieftain was a slaver in life, and in death, he ends up becoming the slave of a much crueler master.]]
* MadeOfIron: In stark contrast to the other vikings, the Chieftain is tough as nails. Between his armor, large stature and skill, he takes several hard hits from Spear and survives a bite from Fang that split his villagers in two. He also survives being thrown off a giant bird, crashing into multiple trees and smashing his head on a rock. Eldar in contrast is, while clearly skilled, not built like his father and ultimately dies from a similar fall.
* MagmaMan: [[spoiler:The Chieftain is turned into nearly featureless giant that is constantly on fire and can manifest weapons out of magma after he pledges loyalty to the demon. For further emphasis, he emerges back into the world of the living in a manner not too dissimilar to a miniature volcanic eruption.]]
* MoralMyopia: The Chieftain and Eldar mourn the deaths of their community and then go after Spear and Fang in revenge, seemingly not realizing that they have just endured the same pain that they likely subjected numerous villages too. They had even arrived late because they were busy gathering more slaves.
* ParentChildTeam: A father and son duo on a quest for vengeance, both using all the resources at their disposal to battle the trio.
* PragmaticVillainy: The Chieftain and Eldar free their captured slaves once they return to the village and find that everyone there has been slaughtered, not out of any kindness, but because there was no viking village ''left'' for them to utilize/exploit the slaves in any meaningful way.
* PunchClockVillain: The Chieftain and Eldar's actions imply that raiding settlements and enslaving their people is simply just a business operation for their tribe. Once they change their objective to hunting down those that slaughtered their community, they have no problems freeing the slaves they brought with them -- albeit, simply because [[PragmaticVillainy they had no further use for them]]. Regardless, they at least don't kill the slaves as a means of getting rid of them, but it's made bluntly clear they really don't have [[NoSympathy any true kindness]] towards them either (shown especially by the haughty DeathGlare Eldar throws them as he tosses them the key).
* RapePillageAndBurn: He's the leader of a fierce group of slavers.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:After the Chieftain pledges his loyalty to the demon upon being dragged away from the Valkyries, the demonic entity literally burns away his humanity, leaving him nothing more than a large, nearly-featureless HumanoidAbomination that's constantly on fire, capable of creating weapons made of magma (according to a promo), and completely dedicated to wreaking vengeance against Spear and Fang.]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: The Chieftain losing his entire village, along with is beloved wife and youngest son, makes his a parallel to Spear's own tragic loss at the beginning of the story. However, unlike him, he was fortunate enough to have one of his sons with him on his trip, and thus he still has family alive when he discovers the loss of his home and family. However, rather than be grateful for what he still has, the Chief and Eldar arm themselves and prepare to hunt down Spear and Fang in revenge for their losses, rather than accepting them as a consequence of their slaving. [[spoiler:This ultimately results in Eldar's avoidable death and the Chieftain completely giving up the fight and [[DespairEventHorizon the will to live]], allowing his badly-battered body to be swept away by the river currents in an attempt to join the rest of his people only for his chance to be yanked when the Demon gives him the choice to go after Spear and Fang in a new demonic form. And his determination to get revenge still after losing everything ends with him DraggedOffToHell by the Demon that gave him his power, presumably to be tormented for eternity flat-out denying anything close to a happy ending for him.]]
* ScaledUp: [[spoiler:He transforms into a giant snake during his final battle with Spear]] in order to climb a cliff.
* ScissorsCutsRock: [[spoiler: One would think that the Chieftain's transformation into a monster composed of flame and magma would make him vulnerable to water. It doesn't, he is able to walk on the surface of water without hesitation.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler:Is apparently one of the abilities granted to him by his demonic transformation, [[ScaledUp seeing as he transforms into a giant snake during his final battle with Spear.]]]]

[[folder:Ima]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/queen_24.png]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Amina Koroma
The leader of the Egyptians.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: Her name is shown in the end credits, [[https://twitter.com/aminAKActs/status/1568618546439098374 which is later clarified by her voice actress on Twitter]].
* AmbiguouslyBi: Forces her female slaves to perform erotic dances for her amusement (and at least one of them seems to be [[StockholmSyndrome genuinely loyal to the queen]]), but also dances suggestively herself in front of the captured king of the Sea People. Of course, the former might just be a power play, and the latter ended with her kicking the king off a ledge to his death.
* ArcVillain: For the Colossaeus arc.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Despite her much slimmer build, she turns out to be quite the capable DanceBattler when she seemingly effortlessly dodges around Spear's wild swings and hits him hard enough to draw blood and momentarily daze him. [[spoiler:Then she tries to fight Kamau after he finally musters the courage to fight her oppression and proves to be completely ineffective.]]
* BareYourMidriff: She wears a red dress under her cape that leaves her midriff bare.
* TheBaroness: She's certainly beautiful, in charge, and has a serious nasty streak. The sadistic grin on her face when [[spoiler:she takes Fang's eggs hostage]] is just the beginning; in the next episode we learn that she also keeps Kamau's daughter as hostage, forcing him to kill her opponents [[KickTheDog even if they surrender without a fight]]. She is also well aware of her beauty, performing a seductive dance in front of the King of the Sea People right before murdering him in cold blood.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: [[spoiler:Brutally averted, when Kamau throws her to her death, she hits the ground and winds up realistically mangled on impact. Her limbs end up twisted and bloody, her neck snapped and one of her eyeballs even starts popping out of the socket.]]
* CoolCrown: She wears an Egyptian-style [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemes nemes]] to show off her authority.
* DanceBattler: Many of the strikes and grapples she uses against Spear are reminiscent of the dance routines she forces her slaves to perform and the dance she performed in front of the captured king of the Sea People.
* DarkActionGirl: She is capable of fighting with Spear, who has been fighting (and overcoming) monsters much bigger than her for a long time.
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:She meets her gruesome end at the climax of "The Collosaeus, Part III" when Kamau throws her off of the city ship down onto the boat Spear and his group have appropriated. She crashes through the roof and is unceremoniously splattered over the floor.]]
* DualWielding: She wields a pair of khopesh during her final confrontation with Spear.
* EvilEyebrows: She has high-arching eyebrows that give her a constant cruel expression regardless whether she's smiling or frowning. It's accentuated by her ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow.
* EvilIsPetty: Upon meeting peaceful villagers who openly welcome her and offer her food and other goods, she looks at what they offer, is clearly scornful, then returns to her boat making a gesture at Kamau to execute them. For the crime of not offering greater tribute. When Kamau brings their offerings to her in an attempt to sway her, she immediately threatens Amal. She's willing to have a village of peaceful people actively acquiescing to her slaughtered for the crime of not being rich enough for her.
* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: She's the only character wearing eyeshadow, and she's a cruel, sadistic warmonger.
* FragileSpeedster: She's agile enough to literally dance around the likes of Spear and Kamau to the point they can't lay a finger on her, but she lacks the power or durability either of them have and really isn't able to take hits on par with them. [[spoiler: This ultimately plays a huge part in her death, as she's left to face Kamau by herself. She can't inflict any real damage on him and once he gets his hands on her...]]
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She is the leader of a warmongering, slave-keeping civilization, [[spoiler:and she takes Fang's eggs as hostages with a sadistic smile on her face, forcing our heroes to fight for her]].
* HateSink: She is a vile woman who completely relishes lording her power over those she subjugates. Besides the honest to God smile she has on her face when [[spoiler:she holds Fang's newborn children hostage]], there's the fact that she forces Kamau to slaughter a ''surrendering'' village seemingly just because she can.
* HighHeelPower: She wears high heels, which signify her authority over her army. They're also pretty useful as CombatStilettos, as Spear found out.
* IHaveYourWife: The Queen takes [[spoiler:Fang's remaining two eggs]] as hostage in order to force Spear and Fang to fight for them. We eventually find out she did this to Kamau as well, keeping his daughter as a slave.
* InterimVillain: After the Chieftain undergoes his transformation and begins his pursuit, Ima stands in as the main antagonist for her arc, with the Chieftain returning to the forefront upon her death.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:After utilizing and blackmailing Kamau to perform heinous acts for so long, during the climax of "The Colossaeus III", Kamau grabs the queen and throws her overboard to her gruesome death, crashing through the roof of the boat Spear and his friends are on.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: She might try to press gang powerful fighters into her army but she knows dead well to avoid the SunkCostFallacy in keeping them; the second they prove more trouble than they're worth she'll get rid of them without a second thought.
* KickChick: While she can throw a punch if she has to, her preferred method of fighting is kicking.
* KickTheDog: During their marauding, the Egyptians encounter a pacifistic civilization who surrender immediately and offer their food as tribute. [[spoiler: The Queen orders Kamau to kill them all anyway.]]
* LovesOnlyGold: Her mission is to {{plunder}} as much gold and other treasure from everywhere she can. When a village offers her food as tribute (with the implication it will be a regular occurrence), she disgustedly has them all killed.
* MakeupIsEvil: She's the only character who is shown wearing excessive makeup (including [[ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow eyeshadow]] and lipstick), and is one of the most vile characters in the show. By contrast, the only other recurring female human, Mira, is a kind-hearted slave who wears no makeup at all.
* RightHandCat: She takes the Babylonian King's pet leopard cub for herself, and she raises it into adulthood to serve as her attack animal.
* {{Sadist}}: She seems to revel in tormenting both her servants and her opponents.
* SadisticChoice: She gives one to Kamau. Either he kills an entire village of peaceful and submissive people, or she gets his daughter killed.
* SilentAntagonist: Throughout her appearances, she never says a single word and only gives hand gestures. [[spoiler:She does scream in "The Colossaeus, Part III" when giving orders to attack and when Kamau throws her off the city ship.]]
* TheSociopath: She's a ruthless, cold-blooded monster of a greedy, self serving tyrant who thrives on exploiting other people's emotional attachments to her advantage and never once hints at having anything remotely close to a conscience. Even her adopting the leopard cub wasn't a PetTheDog moment. She just wanted another minion.
* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:She's unceremoniously thrown overboard by Kamau. Her crashing through the roof of Spear, Mira, and Fang's escape boat is almost treated like a darkly funny gag.]]
* VillainousValor: [[spoiler:After Kamau and his people escape captivity and surround her, she continues to try to attack Kamau, even though none of her attacks have an effect on him. It doesn't make her death when he tosses her overboard any more dignified.]]
* VisualPun: [[spoiler:Her own overconfidence and refusal to swallow her pride and run results in her making the extremely idiotic decision of facing a ''very'' pissed off Kamau who is no longer afraid to fight back against her in one-on-one combat, and she easily gets killed by him when he throws her off of the boat as hard as possible, causing her to rocket towards the roof of the escape boat that Spear, Fang, her hatchlings, and Mira were on, reducing her to a splattered mess. In other words, her pride came before her fall.]]
* WaifFu: She can hold her own in a fight, even unarmed, with a fighting style that focuses on speed and momentum, especially on using her legs to kick and grapple.
* WeakButSkilled: She doesn't have the kind of power that Spear or Kamau may bring to a fight but she is highly agile in battle, nimble enough that neither of them can even touch her in their respective fights while she can deliver DeathByAThousandCuts. [[spoiler: She ultimately gets killed when facing Kamau alone because she's effectively cornered and doesn't have the strength to cause him any real injuries, while he just has to get his hands on her to finish her off.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: Has taken Kamau's daughter as a hostage to force him to fight for her, and threatens to execute her whenever he becomes disobedient.
* XanatosSpeedChess: Part of what makes her so dangerous is her ability to quickly recognize and exploit unfolding events to her own advantage. [[spoiler:She ends the initial battle with the Trio by realizing that they want to protect Fang's eggs and takes them as leverage. When she tries to use said eggs to pacify Fang later and it fails to work she was fully willing to shatter one of them until she sees Spear is able to exert some influence on Fang, something she didn't expect but is all too happy to exploit for her own ends.]]

[[folder:The Madman]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/madman_8.png]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/FredTatasciore
A violent escapee from the local asylum who breaks into Lord Darlington's manor and terrorizes the society.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: He is drawn with a darker skin tone and bald compared to the scientists; several angles make it clear that this isn't just lighting. It generally makes sense given the tropes of the time period, but then again...
* AmbiguouslyHuman: This maniac may ''look'' like a deranged muscular human but the way how he exhibits frightening agility for his size, absorbs physical blows, bullets, and arrows like a sponge, and craves human flesh it's unlikely to even distinguish him as an ordinary human being. Charles himself lampshades the situation.
--> '''Charles''': I would argue that thing is barely human!
* AxCrazy: As it turns out, calling him "madman" is putting it ''quite'' mildly. He's an extremely violent individual who brutally kills and ''devours'' anyone unlucky enough to cross paths with him, and is seemingly devoid of any thoughts or desires other than torment innocent people and spread carnage. He's less like a man and more like the living enbodiment of savagery and humanity's more primitive and bloody aspects. And worse, despite his bestial nature, it's shown several times that [[ItCanThink he's still got enough human intelligence left in him to be very crafty and dangerous]] against armed opponents, making it clear that he's not killing because he's hungry or unaware of what he's really doing -- he's brutally murdering people because he ''wants'' to, and even takes sadistic glee out of tormenting people before he kills them.
* BaldOfEvil: He doesn't have a strand of hair on his head and is a murderous lunatic.
* BloodKnight: He brutishly relishes the vicious murders of anyone who crosses him. After ambushing Charles and Darlington, he goes right after the latter by decking him in the jaw. Darlington wipes the blood of his lip, takes off his jacket, and brings up both of his fists... The Madman '''grins''' at him. That said, he's shown to be incredulous, then genuinely pissed off when Darlington keeps landing blows on him whilst dodging his own attacks, suggesting he was looking forward to overpowering Darlington in a contest of pure strength, and upset when his opponent proves skilled enough to make him look like a fool.
* EvilCounterpart: To Spear. They're both wild and surprisingly-cunning berserkers with similar body types. While Spear only hunts and kills for survival and self-defense and can be empathetic, altruistic, and shows signs of reluctance and remorse, the Madman only kills ForTheEvulz and has complete LackOfEmpathy.
* EvilLaugh: Lets out a demented giggle when he realizes Charles and Darlington are reluctant to attack him while he's holding Blakely, and so he can use him as a human shield.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes glimmer in shadowy areas of the manor, usually whenever he uses unnatural stealth.
* ImAHumanitarian: Is introduced to the viewer snacking on Lord Darlington's butler, and subsequently takes huge bites of flesh out of all of his victims. However, whilst he uses this to kill, he's not afterwards seen eating the corpses of his victims, save the butler, and he loses interest in him when he sees the rest of the society, implying that he's killing them not out of need or hunger, but because he wants to enjoy the thrill of the hunt first and foremost.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:In the skull, courtesy of Lord Darlington.]]
* InsaneEqualsViolent: He's an escapee from an asylum who takes sick pleasure in maiming [[ImAHumanitarian and consuming]] his fellow man.
* ItCanThink: Initially appears to be nothing more than a savage monster, but has retained enough human intelligence to keep the more educated and better armed society on the back foot. He blocks off their attempt to exit the manor with a thrown dresser at the door, recognises when they've barricaded themselves inside a room and heads to the less well-defended windows at the back of the room to turn their own defences against them, opts to flee the room when Darlington arms himself with a gun and fires wildly at him, despite missing his shots, uses ambush tactics to surprise the group when they arm themselves with modern firearms, uses Blakely as a human shield and projectile to gain the advantage when they have a bead on him, recognises Darlington's attempt to fight him hand-to-hand and relishes the perceived chance to overpower him, and attempts to kill Lord Darlington by drowning him.
* MadeOfIron: Is able to take an insane amount of punishment. Punches, arrows, bullets, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking furniture]] all seem to have little effect. [[spoiler:The only thing that finally takes him down is when Lord Darlington reverts to his "primal instinct" and attacks him in a frenzied manner with a sharp stick, finally impaling him through the head.]]
* NoNameGiven: He's only ever referred to as The Madman.
* RunningOnAllFours: Constantly prances around and towards his victims in the vein of a savage and bestial gait of a gorilla.
* {{Sadist}}: He may choose to eat human meat because of his insanity, but his hunting tactics and focus on the alive members of the society over the dead corpses left around the mansion makes it clear he's not killing them out of need for sustenance, but because he relishes stalking and killing his prey. He even goes out of his way to show himself to the survivors [[JumpScare unexpectedly]] to scare them and relishes their fear as he prepares to bite into them. [[spoiler:When he has Darlington pinned down and is drowning him, he notes with dissatisfaction that Darlington is barely conscious and can't give him the fearful reaction he wants, so he throws him aside and starts biting into Charles instead to have more fun out of his next kill, and hopefully intimidate Darlington with his impending death]].
* ScaryTeeth: He has rows of jagged fangs.
* SlasherSmile: Outside of the instances where he's on the receiving end of damage, he constantly has this stretched across his face, showing off his rows of fangs.
* TattooedCrook: His chest and back are tattooed; they include a large skull with snakes coming out of its eye sockets, and the word "DEATH".
* TranquilFury: He is clearly having the time of his life stalking, hunting and hurting the society's members one by one, but when [[spoiler:Darlington starts beating him in a fist-fight, his mood clearly sours, and he gets noticeably annoyed both by Darlington actually repeatedly hurting him and showing no fear towards him as he wails on him. When he disarms Darlington of his weapons in the greenhouse, he pulls out the arrows he was shot with, marches right up to him and lets him repeatedly punch him in the face until Darlington tires out, all with a frozen look of simmering anger on his face, enraged that Darlington was good enough to actually hurt him and clearly wanting to return the favour tenfold]].
* VillainousBreakdown: He's slaughtered many of the people in the mansion left and right and seemed to be practically unbeatable whenever the scientists try to avoid him. He even seems to be aware of how terrifying he is. Right when he attacks Charles and Darlington (who were both armed) he targets the latter, but what he didn't expect is that the man happens to be a boxing champion. His PsychoticSmirk disappeared the moment he got struck square in the face. The more he kept getting walloped by Darlington's punches, the more increasingly agitated he became by his fighting skills until he started to grab ahold of Darlington's neck. [[spoiler: Darlington puts the psychopath on the defensive a second time when he weaponizes the sharp end of a broken tree branch and begins his assault by stabbing him countless times while he's yowling out of pain and starts visibly ''limping'' from his wounds.]]
* TheVoiceless: Never says a word throughout the entire episode, his only vocalizations being [[TitleDrop primal]] grunts and yells. Slightly subverted as when Darlington punches him in the face a second time, he seems to [[RageBreakingPoint yell "DIE" at him]], but it's so garbled to be almost completely unintelligible.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Has dull yellow sclera that goes along with his wicked and deranged personality. [[spoiler:The sneakiness part is also terrifyingly displayed, even though he's larger than the other scientists he's able to obscure himself and strikes unannounced.]]
