* NiceHat: She wears a tricorne hat.

* NiceHat: He wore a hat with a feather on it.

* NiceHat: She's always seen wearing her trademark witch hat, even if she changes form.

* MadeOfIron: Oevrumine are extremely resilient, but Khosrovhreiar took it UpToEleven. He endured stabs, arrows, poison and even being beaten to the brink of death by Kvo Eirik, and he ''still'' survived.

* OverarchingVillain: He appears in all parts of ''Eschaton'', even when he's not the focus of the current story or even particularly important, causing mayhem and never being truly defeated. By the end of the arc, he left it more powerful than when he entered it.

The Great Captain of the 6th Khargrimhold Company, Zonmesir Aslaug is a relatively young dwarven woman who has nonetheless gained the respect of her peers due to her battle prowess, being famed for her fights against the monsters of the [[TheLostWoods Duskwoods]].

A Caxildiz who accidentally activated a shard of Demon Crystal at the shores of the main continent, causing him to transform into a follower of Vargash, one of the avatars of [[GodOfEvil Ramainaualmari]]. From the spot he found the crystal, a expansive forest known as the [[TheLostWoods Fog Forest]] manifested, and any who approached it became lost, while those who gazed upon the creature itself were haunted by it.

* BigBad: Of ''Into the Flesh Forest''.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is an icy blue due to her use of cryomancy.

* ALoadOfBull: She's a minotaur.

* TheBigGuy: Or gal.

* BoisterousBruiser

* BountyHunter: Her profession.

* ALoadOfBull: He was a minotaur.

* ALoadOfBull: An Oevrumine, like his father. But that's where the similarities ended.

An old and disgraced warlord, Mivtanreior did what no other minotaur ever thought; he slaughtered a village of fae and covered himself in their magic dust, infusing himself in it. The Oevrumine, belonging to a race not ''meant'' to be magical, was transformed into a hulking, maddened behemoth of a man, who would prowl the borders of Qliphoth for the next several decades, killing anyone who attempted to enter - or leave. Because of it, the Throne of Qliphoth was content to leave him alone, as he served as a better border control than anything they could come up with. Until he regained his mind...

* ALoadOfBull: He was a minotaur once. But not anymore.

* BigBad: Of ''Steel of the Plagued Land''.

* SinisterScimitar: Her weapon of choice is a cutlass given the [[NamedWeapon name]] of ''Widowmaker''.

* BiTheWay: Has no preference regarding sex. She just wants it ''now''.

* {{Expy}}: Initially of the [[ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} Sea Hag]] and [[Disney/TheSwordInTheStone Madame Mim]], but [[CharacterizationMarchesOn not so much]] after her retcons.

* EvilAlbino: Pure evil and afflicted with albinism, making his fur snow-white and his eyes blood red.

* HeroicAlbino: The exact opposite of his dad.

* EvilAlbino: Gained pitch-white skin after drinking from the Chalice of Havoc.

* HeroicAlbino: He's an almost pitch-white colour due to his use of light magic.

* BadassGrandpa: He's an elder by Lagosi standards, yet maintains the stamina of a young man. It's implied there is a fantastical reason behind it that he's not yet aware of.

* KnightInSourArmor

* DrinkOrder: Rum. He loves all alcohol, but he loves rum the most.

The Tropical Lands encompasses the south of Koldenwelt's eastern continent. It is an area predominantly made out of large extensions of jungles and plateaus, and the climate is warm and humid. During ancient times, it was mostly dominated by the ruthless [[TheEmpire Orichalcum Elf Imperium]]. A number of races live there, the most prominent being the [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Khargrim]] [[TheKingdom Greatholds]], the largest dwarven empire in modernity. However, the region holds its dark corners; at the far east is the sub-region of [[{{Mordor}} Abyssus]], a battered wasteland which serves as the home of the [[TheEmpire Legion of Shiarchon]] and its successors, while at the far west resides the sub-region of [[PollutedWasteland Qliphoth]], an area infested with poisons where only the most fit and aggressive can survive.

* OnlySaneMan: She considers herself the voice of reason in Khara's party, typically pointing how Khara's plans will get her killed.

* VitriolicBestBuds: With Riadmanath. Despite the physical and mental abuse they give one another, they still each other's company.

* TokenEvilTeammate

Pelagius Astrelevar Dromaedon, most known as Pelagrios Sea-Cutter, is a pirate who sails the southern seas (or so he claims). He has the distinction of causing mayhem whenever he shows up, rarely intentionally.

* TheAlcoholic: The [[ArtifactOfDoom Gladiitenebris shard]] in his possession is the only reason he hasn't died of alcohol poisoning yet.
* BrilliantButLazy: He'd probably be a formidable fighter if he wasn't so busy drinking and running away from anything remotely dangerous.
* TheCaptain: Or so he wishes. He doesn't have a ship or a crew. Sometimes he wonders whether he even counts a pirate anymore.
* DoomedHometown: His home settlement was destroyed by a Shiarchon raiding party when he was a child, orphaning him.
* DoomMagnet: He attracts danger. Mostly due to the shard of the Gladiitenebris in his possession, but sometimes it's just him messing something up.

* DrinkOrder: Rum. He loves all alcohol, but he loves rum the most.

* LovableCoward
* NominalHero: He doesn't ''want'' to go around saving the world, but he keeps getting dragged into it. Usually because he's at least partially responsible.
* OddFriendship: With Riad. A bumbling pirate buffoon and a savage elf chieftain? Best friends, apparently.
* {{Pirate}}: Though he doesn't do a whole lot of pirating.
* PluckyComicRelief: Never does anything useful, but does provide some light-hearted humour to the stories he's in.
* ScarsAreForever: Received a sacrificial brand from Ánnoria during his time as a prisoner of the Shiarchon.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He is single-handedly responsible for the entire ''Eschaton''. All he wanted was to rob some graves.
* RedBaron: Sea-Cutter, [[TheAlcoholic The Rum Demon]], [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Pelagrios Doombringer]].

* ThouShaltNotKill: While thievery is fair game, he doesn't like killing, which is one of the reasons he typically doesn't help his allies.

[[folder:Khara Greenforge]]

!!Khara Greenforge

* HotBlooded
* INeedAFreakingDrink: She didn't take Eryxhreion's death well, drinking herself into unconsciousness the night after.

->'''Alignment:''' ''LawfulNeutral''

-->''"Before all else, I am a healer; an apothecary. Light should only provide destruction against the force which directly opposes it, rather than those that oppose me."''

A human hailing from elven lands, Tassarion is a hedge-mage and member of the order of the Noble Palazzo of Luminates who met Khara Greenforge during his stay at the Duskwoods. Now following her in her mission to become heroes, he is the voice of reason restraining the energetic half-orc, ensuring she doesn't get killed by her recklessness.

* BreathWeapon: Has been seen launching a beam of energy from his mouth.
* CurbStompBattle: Delivered one to the Silver Gargoyles attacking his island during ''War of Vampires'', aided by Harkin.

* {{Jerkass}}: Hates outsiders, and treats even other immortals with annoyance, preferring to keep to his island in peace.

!Saranhreia Kharanhrarmer
->'''Species:''' ''Oevrumine''
->'''Alignment:''' ''ChaoticGood''

-->''"Huargh! Come on out, you little bastards! Big ol' Sara's gonna carve ya!"''

An Oevrumine mercenary and bounty hunter who operates through the land. An enthusiast of war and conflict, she is regarded as an intimidating presence by many due to her joyous affiliation with bloodshed and her barbaric mannerisms, although in truth she deems herself as little more than a soldier birthed and forged for little else other than fighting, incapable of adjusting to a lifestyle without conflict and being anything more than a living weapon.

* AbusiveParents: Her father treated her like absolute crap during her childhood, eventually leading her to flee Qliphoth.
* ALoadOfBull: She's a minotaur.
* AntiHero: A violent BloodKnight, disillusioned with her chances of ever being able to live a normal life, though she is solidly on the side of good.
* AntiMagic: Like other Oevrumine, her presence repels magic around her, making it ineffective. Whenever her companions were haunted by the whispers of Zarmagahla, Saranhreia couldn't listen to them at all, as they were magical in nature.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Khadya's Beauty and Filonan's Brains.
* BigEater: Often seeing snacking on something.
* TheBigGuy: Or gal.
* BladeOnAStick: Her weapon of choice is a halberd [[NamedWeapons named]] ''Hatred''.
* BlindedByTheLight: Like other minotaurs, she has sensitive eyes and dislikes bright lights in her eyes.
* BloodKnight: She ''loves'' combat. Her suggestion on the best means to take on a feral wyvern?
-->'''Saranhreia:''' ''I say we grab its attention and face it head-on! Three against one is good odds!''
* BoisterousBruiser
* BookDumb: She is hardly an idiot, but due to having be raised as a child soldier, she never received any education.
* BountyHunter: Her profession.
* ChallengeSeeker: The reason she visited Hyperion Island during ''Angels of the Hunting Isle''. She got her wish alright.
* ChildSoldiers: Was trained into the arts of war since her pre-teen years, leading her to not learn other basic skills like literary practice, cooking and mathematics until much later in life.
* FireForgedFriends: With Khadya and Filonan.
* HarmfulToMinors: Due to being raised as a weapon of war, Saranhreia struggles to live a normal life.
* ItsQuietTooQuiet: Complains about this as her party hunted Keasmins during ''Angels of the Hunting Isle'', mostly because she was growing increasingly bored.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Her reaction to an Yakadiar's VaderBreath;
-->'''Saranhreia:''' ''I don't. Like. '''Wheezing'''. Things that wheeze are never good!''
* RedBaron: The Nomad Juggernaut.
* SoleSurvivor: When she and her loyal soldiers attempted to flee Qliphoth, they were all slaughtered by [[TheDreaded Mivtanreior]], leaving her as the only one able to escape.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Khadya and Filonan, being most vitriolic towards Khadya in particular.

!Hald-Sleac Kraasteg
->'''Species:''' ''Gnoll''
->'''Alignment:''' ''ChaoticNeutral''

-->''"I am not strong like other Qliphoth gnolls. I work with finesse in mind."''

A gnoll rogue native from Qliphoth, Hald-Sleac joined a band of cutthroats and left the place due to his dislike for the local minotaurs, becoming a highwayman of renowned skill. His companions eventually either died or departed, leaving him alone until he got into a tavern argument with a certain dwarf. This led him to join the posse that would later become the Goldhawks, one of the most famed adventurer parties of modernity.

* AntiHero: His actions were heroic because he hanged around heroes. He never considered himself a force of good.
* DeadpanSnarker
* FantasticRacism: He showed great distaste for all Oevrumine. After leaving the Goldhawks, he briefly hunted and murdered them for sport to vent his frustration.
* KnifeNut: He primarily fought by using daggers.
* {{Greed}}: His main motivation. He nearly let himself be killed by [[PhysicalGod Xitannoth]] because he was unwilling to let go of a heavy sack of gold and riches.
* TheHighwayman: His occupation before joining the Goldhawks.
* KilledOffForReal: Died of old age 12 years before the events of ''The Curse of Visonia'', as his former comrades found out when they were looking for him.
* NiceHat: He wore a hat with a feather on it.
* NominalHero
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The main reason he stuck around with the Goldhawks for as long as he did. While they did befriend him over time, money was still his primary motivation.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Not ''evil'' per se, but he never considered himself a hero, being in mostly for the money. That being said, he did develop an affection for the other Goldhawks over time.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Jalaric Hathgar during ''The Goldhawk Chronicles''.
* WeaponOfChoice: Daggers.

!Khosrovhreiar

->'''Alignment:''' ''ChaoticEvil''

-->''"Shut up and die! Your speeches do not scare me; northern '''maggots''' are nothing to be feared! You will only prolong your suffering if you resist your death!"''

A fearsome Oevrumine suffering from albinism who held sway over a small army of bandits and marauders. He terrorized the west during the time of the Goldhawks, first encountering them at the elven town of Tolthe. Since then, he became the ArchEnemy of the band of adventurers.

* ALoadOfBull: He was a minotaur.
* AnArmAndALeg: Eirik ripped one of his arms off during his fight.
* AnAxeToGrind: His main weapon was a massive greataxe.
* AntiMagic: Like other Oevrumine, his presence repelled magic. Khosrovhreiar was, in fact, tremendously strong even for a minotaur, enough to make him entirely immune to magic.
* ArchEnemy: Of the Goldhawks.
* TheBerserker: He fought with unparalleled ferocity. Striking him only made him more furious.
* BigBad: Of ''The Goldhawk Chronicles''.
* BloodKnight: To frightening extents.
* CurbStompBattle: Delivered one to the Goldhawks during their final confrontation, before being on the receiving end of one by Kvo Eirik, who broke nearly every bone in his body with his bare hands. He went from laughing in confidence to ''screaming in terror''.
* TheDreaded: He was widely feared across the towns of the west.
* EvilAlbino: Pure evil and afflicted with albinism, making his fur snow-white and his eyes blood red.
* EyeScream: Had a torch shoved into his eyes during his first encounter with the Goldhawks, courtesy of Hald-Sleac.
* HealingFactor: All minotaurs heal at an increased rate compared to humans, but Khosrovhreiar's regenerative powers were such that he shrugged off nearly every attack thrown at him with impunity.
* KilledOffscreen: Killed by rangers of the Sovereignty of Dryada some time before the Goldhawks encountered his remains. Finding out their nemesis had been killed by someone else was the last nail on the band's coffin, marking its dissolution.
* MadeOfIron: Oevrumine are extremely resilient, but Khosrovhreiar took it UpToEleven. He endured stabs, arrows, poison and even being beaten to the brink of death by Kvo Eirik, and he ''still'' survived.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Due to his albinism, his eyes were red. And he was, in fact, dangerous.
* SlasherSmile: Sports once as he charges into battle with the Goldhawks.

!Eryxhreion
->'''Species:''' ''Oevrumine''
->'''Alignment:''' ''NeutralGood''

-->''"I will do my best to prove myself to you, your majesty, that I am very little like my father beyond my looks and abilities."''

The son of Khosrovhreiar, Eryxhreion is an Oevrumine sellsword who, like his father, suffers from albinism. However, he has no interest in following in the dark footsteps of his parent, instead choosing to be an adventurer, exploring the land and seeking means to aid his stagnant people.

* ALoadOfBull: An Oevrumine, like his father. But that's where the similarities ended.
* AnAxeToGrind: His weapon of choice was a greataxe.
* AnnoyingArrows: Treated an arrow to the neck as a mere inconvenience. Justified as he's an Oevrumine and has natural SuperToughness.
* BadassBoast: Towards Mivtanreior in their final confrontation.
--> '''Eryxhreion:''' ''No longer shall my people live in fear of your shadow, but they shall dance in it when I parade your corpse through the Throne!''
* HeroicAlbino: The exact opposite of his dad.
* HeroicSacrifice: Sacrificed himself to keep Mivtanreior restrained as he was fed the sacred fruit of Eostraeya. He was wounded to the point the fruit was no longer able to help him by the time the fight was over.
* NiceGuy: A contrast to most other Oevrumine, Eryxhreion was a genuinely friendly man.

!Mivtanreior
->'''Species:''' ''Oevrumine''
->'''Alignment:''' ''ChaoticEvil''

-->''"'''I... will... BREAK... YOU... BONE... BY... BONE!'''"''

An old and disgraced warlord, Mivtanreior did what no other minotaur ever thought; he slaughtered a village of fae and covered himself in their magic dust, infusing himself in it. The Oevrumine, belonging to a race not ''meant'' to be magical, was transformed into a hulking, maddened behemoth of a man, who would prowl the borders of Qliphoth for the next several decades, killing anyone who attempted to enter - or leave. Because of it, the Throne of Qliphoth was content to leave him alone, as he served as a better border control than anything they could come up with. Until he regained his mind...

* ALoadOfBull: He was a minotaur once. But not anymore.
* AnAxeToGrind: He could manifest an axe head of arcane magic over his arm, effectively turning his hand into a greataxe.
* BodyHorror: His magical infusion caused him to become a monstrous thing, with oversized arms and horns, resembling a minotaur with the proportions of a gorilla.
* BigBad: Of ''Steel of the Plagued Land''.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Upon being fed one of Eostraeya's sacred fruit, his mutations were cured, turning him back into a normal Oevrumine.
* TheDreaded: The Oevrumine are a race of massive BloodKnight minotaurs. Mivtanreior made them ''cower''.
* ItCanThink: The heroes (and even the other antagonists) became positively terrified when they realized he could not only think, he could also ''talk''.
* KilledOffForReal: After being BroughtDownToNormal, he was stabbed in the throat by a dragon's tooth, ending his life.
* MotorMouth: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. He struggled to speak, and did so in a very paused manner.
* NighInvulnerable: Such was his strength that he was effectively immune to damage. Only by turning him back to normal was Hathgar's party able to kill him.
* RedBaron: The Demon of the Border. Also, the Outcast Demigod.
* TheVirus: Mivtanreior's Frenzy, which was contracted by coming in contact with his fairy dust after he regained his mind. Any creature affected by it would turn into a frenzied, berserk beast under his control.
* WasOnceAMan: He was once a minotaur, but infusing his body with magic transformed him into a hulking monstrosity.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Infusing himself with magic made him the most powerful minotaur in the world, but it also completely broke his mind. For the following decades, he was little more than an animal.
* TheWorfEffect: He appeared when Hathgar's party was confronting the werehyena Syl-Rheah. He absolutely ''destroyed'' her.

Formerly one of the Praetors of the Legion of Shiarchon, Arcturus was defeated and captured by the Warriors of Dar-Nahalant.

* MeaningfulName: Amaranths are short-lived plants, but the word itself translates from Dark Elvish to 'unfading'. Amaranthine, meanwhile, means 'everlasting'.
* NighInvulnerable: Immune to damage from conventional weapons and most schools of the Source. An explosion only managed to make hum stumble. His sole weakness was sun magic.

The lord of the Vulcanus Horde, Xacutus was once a noble sorcerer of the Marinis Domain who dabbled in forbidden arts in order to fight the demons of Crystallis. He would pay the price and become a monstrous creature of flame, obsessed with one single goal: the complete destruction of all life in Koldenwelt.

* AnAxeToGrind: The Exacutus Vulcanus, one of his inventions.
* AndIMustScream: After he had his soul cut in two, his body was left in a vegetative state, but he was still fully conscious of his situation. This only ended once he was reunited with the Exacutus Vulcanus at the end of ''Inferno Rises''.
* AxCrazy: Evil, murderous and ''completely bonkers''. Doubly so back when he wielded the Exacutus Vulcanus.
* TheBadGuyWins: The ending of ''Inferno Rises'' had him reawakening and the Vulcanus Horde returning to activity.
* BigBad: Of ''Inferno Rises''. He's one of the main contenders for the title of main antagonist of the entire setting.
* BlackMagic: In addition to his fire magic, Xacutus also has some dark magic powers, though it's used almost exclusively to keep him alive.
* BloodKnight
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: There ain't any sanity left in that skull of his.
* CurbStompBattle: Delivered one towards Hamoins Dalverat during ''War of Vampires''.
** He was later on the receiving end of one against Imperator Kalarah in ''Fall of Talmyr'', which led to the destruction of the Exacutus Vulcanus. It ended up being good for Xacutus, though, as it led to his soul being made whole again.
* DemBones: He's a giant skeleton animated by evil fire.
* EnemyMine: Joined forces with Imperator Kalarah during ''Fall of Talmyr'', though it didn't last long. He later joined forces with Vanguard and Tibias Merrow for the sake of getting back at Kalarah, but he repeatedly stated he hates them and all they stand for.

* '''NoIndoorVoice'''
* NoSell: Xacutus is immune to dark magic, which just bounces off him harmlessly. And fire magic, of course.
* OmnicidalManiac: When he says he wants to destroy the world, he's ''not'' kidding.
* OverarchingVillain: He appears in all parts of ''Eschaton'', even when he's not the focus of the current story or even particularly important, causing mayhem and never being truly defeated. By the end of the arc, he left it more powerful than when he entered it.
* PlayingWithFire: Potentially the most powerful pyromancer in Koldenwelt who isn't a [[PhysicalGod Colossus]]. Such is his power that he was able to raise a ''bridge of volcanic stone from the ocean floor'', connecting his home of Akriarion Island to Abyssus.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: About 7,000 years old.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver
* SpannerInTheWorks: Praetor Arcturus prepared to face the Warriors of Dar-Nahalant in battle... only for Xacutus to barge in, knock him out and confront them himself. It ultimately led to Arcturus' HeelFaceTurn and a lot of complications for the Legion of Shiarchon.
* SuddenlyShouting: He tends to scream out (even louder than his usual speech) random words in his sentences.

--> '''Xacutus:''' ''That... is NOT my name anymore!''
* TeleportSpam: He can teleport short distances, something he's using to escape blockades or negate falling damage.
* TheUndead: Notably, animated by evil fire rather than pure dark magic. He is the only one of his kind as far as undead are known in the setting.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: He attempted to use pyromancy to combat the Lympharian hordes attacking his people, but his race was fundamentally attuned to water rather than fire. The conflict within his very essence drove him completely mad.
* WreathedInFlames: Perpetually covered in flames which allegedly cause him eternal pain. It only serves to make him [[AxCrazy angrier and crazier]].

Leader of the Vulcanus orcs who serve Xacutus' Horde, Wrugrak is one of the pyromancer's greatest generals. Having delivered his people to him after mistaking him for a god of flame, he is now a slave, hoping to one day find one strong enough to put him out of his misery.

* AnAxeToGrind: Wields a greatxe as his weapon of choice.
* BreathWeapon: Can let out a glob of magma out of his mouth as an offensive tactic.
* TheDragon: To Xacutus, unwillingly.
* FaceMonsterTurn: While the rest of his people indulged in Xacutus' fire gifts, Wrugrak deeply regretted it, realizing what he got himself into. Unfortunately, it was too late.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: He is unable to disobey Xacutus' orders, and by extension can't end his own suffering. He hopes that, one day, a hero will defeat him and bring an end to it all.

Ruling over the Merkan race are a pair of massive, corpulent monsters known as the Patriarch and the Matriarch, Vrutluthar and Ethodrathalar respectively. Other than creating more Merkan, they are the caretakers of Zarmagahla, periodically feeding him the blood of people kidnapped from the shores of the Tropical Lands.

* BreathWeapon: Patriarch Vrutluthar has been seen breathing out a tremendous stream of water from his mouth, with enough force to make him nearly lose his footing.
* TheBrute: Patriarch Vrutluthar is eager to crush the intruders in his throne room during ''Wrath of Night'', unlike Matriarch Ethodrathalar, who was content with merely watching.
* CoolCrown: Patriarch Vrutluthar has the Crown of the Deep Father, an artifact of Ramainaualmari which Nalashtannylor required to harness the powers of the [[ArtifactOfDoom Chalice of Havoc]].

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Believed to be roughly 800 years old.

A mysterious wyvern who suddenly appeared on Hyperion Island, causing havoc and slaughtering the local wildlife. Khadya, Filonan and Saranhreia would cross paths with it multiple times, and it eventually became evident it was no mere beast...

!The Sea Witch
->'''Species:''' ''Bizargar''

->''"I'm the Sea Witch of the Tropical Lands and if I tell you to shoo it's because you gotta shoo!"''

The last chieftain of the Bizargar before they were nearly driven to extinction by the Lympharians, the Sea Witch (real name Alvinian Varaikar) is a hag who spent hundreds of years cursed by the demons of Vargash, which led her to become a recluse. She eventually regained her cool and became involved in world affairs once more after becoming the adoptive mother of the half-elf Clothovera Moirai.

!Praetor Valentinianus Septimius Vergilius Iovita
->'''Species:''' ''Shiarchon''

->''"You ask me what I fight for. 'Nothing' is a rather accurate description. Your world is subject to to living and dying. Breathing for a meaningless cause. I aim to bring that all into a new order under the gaze of the Adversary, as you would call Him."''

!Imperator Julianus Franciscus Hadrianus Everardus

->'''Alignment:''' ''NeutralEvil''

->''"The dissidents of this land were fools not to have sought me for counsel and allegiance when they did, and their livelihoods will pay the blood price for it! I will return the heads of the Praetors to their families, and they indeed '''will''' understand that I, Imperator Julianus Franciscus of the Adravelic Empire, '''will''' be obeyed. There is no room for disobedience in my new Empire, and death will be the answer for it!"''

Formerly one of the Praetors of the Legion of Shiarchon, Julianus became the commander of the Legion's armies upon the death of Valentinianus, and later crowned himself the Imperator of the New Adravaelic Empire, the direct successor of the Legion.

* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Arcturus' Abel.

!Lord Arcturus Franciscus Hadrianus Everardus
->'''Species:''' ''Shiarchon''
->'''Alignment:''' ''LawfulNeutral''

->''"In truth, I have little in favour for the savagery of the Empire, and I know that Julianus' method of rule is far against what I would have intended for Talmyr. Quite frankly, Julianus is a stupid individual to rule."''

Formerly one of the Praetors of the Legion of Shiarchon, Arcturus was defeated and captured by the Warriors of Dar-Nahalant. Even under the Legion, he was against the brutal ways of his brother Julianus, which ultimately led him to change sides. Today, he is the lord of the Adravaelic Ascendancy, a faction of Shiarchon who have forsaken their bloodthirsty ways.

* OhCrap: His reaction to [[spoiler:Longinus killing Leviathan.]]

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: A little less than 5,000 years ago.

!Leviathan the Amaranthine

->'''Alignment:''' ''LawfulEvil''

->''"I am '''everlasting'''."''

Leader of the Shiarchon Excubitor and Ambroscus ranks, Leviathan was the mightiest of all Shiarchon and a weapon of destruction of Caligaduro Provectus. He delivered divine retribution to all who opposed the will of the One Lord.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 Pyramid Head]].
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Killed by Longinus during ''Winter of Discontent''.]]
* MeaningfulName: Amaranths are short-lived plants, but the word itself translates from Dark Elvish to 'unfading'. Amaranthine, meanwhile, means 'everlasting'.
* NighInvulnerable: Immune to damage from conventional weapons and most schools of the Source. An explosion only managed to make hum stumble. His sole weakness was sun magic.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Around 5,000 years old.

[[folder:Vulcanus Horde]]

!Xacutus
->'''Species:''' ''Ondarei Mharinis''
->'''Alignment:''' ''ChaoticEvil''

->''"ME! The great Xacutus! Anyone order a dose of ARSON with a few drops of SCREAMS of TERROR?"''

The lord of the Vulcanus Horde, Xacutus was once a noble sorcerer of the Marinis Domain who dabbled in forbidden arts in order to fight the demons of Crystallis. He would pay the price and become a monstrous creature of flame, obsessed with one single goal: the complete destruction of all life in Koldenwelt.

* AnAxeToGrind: The Exacutus Vulcanus, one of his inventions.
* AndIMustScream: After he had his soul cut in two, his body was left in a vegetative state, but he was still fully conscious of his situation. This only ended once he was reunited with the Exacutus Vulcanus at the end of ''Inferno Rises''.
* AxCrazy: Evil, murderous and ''completely bonkers''. Doubly so back when he wielded the Exacutus Vulcanus.
* TheBadGuyWins: The ending of ''Inferno Rises'' had him reawakening and the Vulcanus Horde returning to activity.
* BigBad: Of ''Inferno Rises''. He's one of the main contenders for the title of main antagonist of the entire setting.
* BlackMagic: In addition to his fire magic, Xacutus also has some dark magic powers, though it's used almost exclusively to keep him alive.
* BloodKnight
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: There ain't any sanity left in that skull of his.
* CurbStompBattle: Delivered one towards Hamoins Dalverat during ''War of Vampires''.
** He was later on the receiving end of one against Imperator Kalarah in ''Fall of Talmyr'', which led to the destruction of the Exacutus Vulcanus. It ended up being good for Xacutus, though, as it led to his soul being made whole again.
* DemBones: He's a giant skeleton animated by evil fire.
* EnemyMine: Joined forces with Imperator Kalarah during ''Fall of Talmyr'', though it didn't last long. He later joined forces with Vanguard and Tibias Merrow for the sake of getting back at Kalarah, but he repeatedly stated he hates them and all they stand for.
-->'''Vanguard:''' ''You are not aware...of the [[ArtifactOfDoom Scorn of the Void]]?''
-->'''Xacutus:''' ''You all keep assuming I know everything and that I'm one of you. I am NOT. I HATE the Void.''
* EvilIsBurningHot

* EvilOverlord: Though he doesn't have much a goal beyond destroying everything.
* EvilVersusEvil: Opposes the Void, even if he had to [[EnemyMine join its side]] a couple of times.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/DragonFable Xan]].
* FishPeople: He's a former Ondarei Mharinis, though all that's left of him at this point is his charred skeleton.
* HeroKiller: Brutally killed Vectrom in the prologue of ''Shroud of the Sun''.
* TheHyena
* LargeHam: It doesn't even begin to describe it.
--> '''Xacutus:''' ''Stupid kid! MEDDLESOME! Don't you have SCHOOL or CHORES to do?! This is an adult war, where adults kill everyone! Adults being ME! Get OUT of our way!''
* LaughingMad: At least once per appearance.
* MagicStaff: The Baculum Mill Solles, a staff created alongside the Exacutus Vulcanus which was lost during his reawakening.
* '''NoIndoorVoice'''
* NoSell: Xacutus is immune to dark magic, which just bounces off him harmlessly. And fire magic, of course.
* OmnicidalManiac: When he says he wants to destroy the world, he's ''not'' kidding.
* OverarchingVillain: He appears in all parts of ''Eschaton'', even when he's not the focus of the current story or even particularly important, causing mayhem and never being truly defeated. By the end of the arc, he left it more powerful than when he entered it.
* PlayingWithFire: Potentially the most powerful pyromancer in Koldenwelt who isn't a [[PhysicalGod Colossus]]. Such is his power that he was able to raise a ''bridge of volcanic stone from the ocean floor'', connecting his home of Akriarion Island to Abyssus.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: About 7,000 years old.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver
* SpannerInTheWorks: Praetor Arcturus prepared to face the Warriors of Dar-Nahalant in battle... only for Xacutus to barge in, knock him out and confront them himself. It ultimately led to Arcturus' HeelFaceTurn and a lot of complications for the Legion of Shiarchon.
* SuddenlyShouting: He tends to scream out (even louder than his usual speech) random words in his sentences.
* ThatManIsDead: His reaction to being called by his real name by Vectrom during ''Shroud of the Sun''.
--> '''Xacutus:''' ''That... is NOT my name anymore!''
* TeleportSpam: He can teleport short distances, something he's using to escape blockades or negate falling damage.
* TheUndead: Notably, animated by evil fire rather than pure dark magic. He is the only one of his kind as far as undead are known in the setting.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: He attempted to use pyromancy to combat the Lympharian hordes attacking his people, but his race was fundamentally attuned to water rather than fire. The conflict within his very essence drove him completely mad.
* WreathedInFlames: Perpetually covered in flames which allegedly cause him eternal pain. It only serves to make him [[AxCrazy angrier and crazier]].

->'''Species:''' ''Vulcanus orc''

Leader of the Vulcanus orcs who serve Xacutus' Horde, Wrugrak is one of the pyromancer's greatest generals. Having delivered his people to him after mistaking him for a god of flame, he is now a slave, hoping to one day find one strong enough to put him out of his misery.
