He ended up betrayed by Persephone out of all people, but his spirit later helped out the heroes even the odds by thwarting the demons' plans in the elven city.

* {{Necromancer}}: He was one of the oldest necromancers still alive and yearned to resurrect the Old Ways.

* AntiVillain: He was one of the few truly sympathetic Yamatians during the Great War and while he still feels in the future rebirth of the might of Yamato, he is still capable of working with his old foes in the Alliance in order to save his occupied homeland and hinder the demons. However, he puts his country above all else and is willing to act as antagonist to the heroes if there is no other alternative.

* Painting The Medium: ''HE TALKS IN CAPITAL LETTERS'', which many interpret as shouting.

Harvester of Souls, Lover of Strawberry Jam, Snarker Extraordinaire. The Grim Reaper is all of this and much, much more, but he has little time to ponder such things because all the conflicts in different realms keep him busy enough as it is. He's a rather relaxed servant of Death with hidden depths.

* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: Dreamweaver was a handsome god once but once merged with the Unnamed Evil which resulted in the birth of Death, the Evil within turned him into a mockery of his former self. He can hide his true look and appear more benign, however, for purposes of deception.

The elven captain of High Propher Xerathas's guards, she's one of the Grey Cult's most prominent members. She has been raped twice but she hasn't succumbed to fear, anger or self-loathing. Instead she's become more determined than ever to fight for the right cause and make sure Xerathas doesn't turn out to be as corrupt as his father Zarnagon. She had a happy reunion with her long-lost daughter Unithien but the two were separated again when they found themselves on opposite sides of the war.

The sole female master of the Magestar, she has proven time and time again that she's one of the most powerful members of the mage school.

[[folder:Magicracy of Alent]]

::'''Crowe Lley'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crowe_7489.png

A promiscuous councillor who uses sex to study magic. Called the "black sheep of the council", he isn't afraid of dabbling in the dark arts and causing an uproar in the more conservative members of the council. He's a free spirit, a party attitude and has an open mind to particularly chaotic schools of magic.

Associates tropes:
* TheCasanova: Pretty much. He has an almost perfect track record with women; [[ReallyGetsAround only a handful of the hundreds of women he's been with]] have ever resisted his charm to his mild disappointment.
* {{Necromancer}}: One of his many professions; he has made it his business to learn everything there is to know about the dark arts.

::'''Durin Halfstaff'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/durin_7798.png

A stout dwarven councillor who detests dark magics.

::'''Gertrude Kirkpatrick'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gertrude_8997.png

A councillor with encyclopaedic memorization. She knows all of Alent's libaries inside out and is the youngest member of the council.

Associates tropes:
* BadassBookworm: Despite her looking like a bookworm, she can also kick ass when needed because she has mastered many obscure spells.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: She's wise despite being in her late 20's and knows many of the books in Alent's library quite well.

::'''Gweneth'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gweneth_5123.PNG

A half-elven councillor who is remarkably tolerant and kind compared to the rest of the council. She wants to see the good in most people and is one of the best negotiators Alent has to offer.

-->''"Strength spawns from need, power from arrogance. I can say that I'm strong enough at the moment."''

An old mage whos is member of the council of Alent. Obsessed with creating the perfect candy machine and sometimes acting goofy, he's nevertheless wise and observant and spots things that many people often miss. He's worked with the Alliance on some occasions and is torn between whether to trust the Crimson Coalition or not.

Associated tropes:
* BattleInTheRain: Happens to him when he's ambushed by dwarven assassins in Alent during a storm.
* CoolOldGuy: He's almost 100 years old and is still badass enough to almost defeat a frickin' goddess in a duel.
* TheDumbledore: Although he is old and acts goofy at times, he is also an extremely wise and powerful mage.

::'''Jahi'''

-->''"Only blood matters. We'll do what's right for our clans and our future."''

Matron of Alent's Threshold district and the mother of the demons dwelling there. She was one of the founders of Alent but later withdrew into Threshold to keep her children safe from potential abuse at the hands of mages. Her clan has recently been exposed to the rest of Alent, and she's struggling with her conflicting loyalties to Alent and the demon hordes.

* ConflictingLoyalty: She's torn between siding with the non-demons in Alent and the demons of the hordes. She sees that both options have grave consequences and might not end well, but she also knows that she'll have to choose between them sooner or later and do it for the sake of her children.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: The little glimpses she's shown indicate she hasn't lived a particularly happy life before she settled into Alent.
* DarkIsNotEvil: She's a demon with horrific powers that are capable of twisting people's minds and turning them insane, but she's a reasonable enough person who just wishes to live her life in peace and can even give words of wisdom.
* MamaBear: Try harming her children, and you'll come to regret it. However, if she sees any of her children as a threat to the existence of the rest of the clan, she's willing to put an end to the threat even if she has to resort to [[ShootTheDog drastic measures]].
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: She's a demoness with great magical powers.

::'''Jemuel'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/t-jemuel_2624.gif
-->''"Once more the threat of the gods and those clinging to ancient, diluted bloodlines rears its ugly head, but this time, we are here to stand tall against them! In the coming days it will be your resolve, Alentians, that sees us through to a glorious new era of freedom!"''

An archmage with a tangled past. Originally Jemuel served King Unne until he plotted the king's death and usurped the throne but a bunch of heroes defeated him seemingly for good. However, the resurrection of Leon Alcibiates allowed him to return as a servant of the Underworld. The resurrected Jemuel was influenced by the friendship of his new companions, however, which eventually drove him to rebel against the Underworld and take his fate into his own hands. Now he rules as the lord of a Libaterran city of mages and wishes to free people from the shackles of the gods and the Godslayer while opposing the Crimson Coalition's goals along the way.

* AntiAntiChrist: After some soul-searching, Jemuel chooses to openly defy the Underworld which has wanted to use him as the champion of Death.
* BackFromTheDead: He returns to the world as a revenant.
* BastardUnderstudy: Jemuel is this to Dante whom he betrays in a crucial moment.
* CloningBlues: He has had three successful clones over the years thanks to Dante's experiments but he later destroyed them because he saw them as mockeries of himself.
* DivideAndConquer: Jemuel's tactic during the Great War when he pitted the Grand Alliance and Yamato Empire against one another and carved his empire while the two armies were busy fighting.

* ManipulativeBastard: No matter whose side he's currently on, he's always been good at pulling the strings and making people dance to his tune.

::'''Malek Illuvius'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/malek_3955.png

An elven councillor and a master of the arcane arts. He's proud to the point of being arrogant to anyone not being on his level. Despite this he doesn't quite show the same unrestrained disdain as Trittledin and is more regal in his interactions.

* TheProudElite: He was raised in a noble elven family and hasn't forgotten his bloodline. He seems himself as one of the most powerful mages in Alent and rightfully so, but this means he sometimes tend to act rather cold towards those who don't share his passion with magic or aren't on his level.

::'''Omaroch d'Zarnagon'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/t-omaroch_3967.gif
-->''"I'm done running away."''

A rebellious archdemon who is the father of Refan and Kareth and the master of Ronove Thanadar. After the dark god Mardük's death, Omaroch found a purpose for his newfound freedom and began atoning for the sins he had committed while he had been serving the forces of Chaos. He's now helping Jemuel and fighting against demons because he doesn't wish the humans, whom he respects, to fall into darkness. He's also faced both his parents in combat and is trying to find a way to explain his actions to his sons and grandsons.

* ArchEnemy: Omaroch considers his parents as this because both of them have tried to use him for their own ends and have made his loved ones suffer. His parents feel that he has betrayed their cause and see him as a dangerous heretic that needs to be disposed of after he has suffered suitably long in their grip.
* TheAtoner: Omaroch becomes this after Mardük's death. He has done awful things and wishes to repay humanity by giving them hope and helping them combat the demon hordes. He also wishes to bond with his sons despite their differences.
* BeastAndBeauty: Omaroch, an archdemon, had a human wife named Delora.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: After Omaroch is captured by his brothers, he is tortured and mindraped for several years until eventually the news of his wife's death as well as the (supposed) corruption of his sons is enough to make him break. He is exposed to dark god Mardük's power and becomes an agent of Chaos, willing to do whatever is necessary to fulfill the god's and demons' agenda. Despite this he still shows some bits of remorse but can't help but following the orders that are given to him. However, once Mardük dies and his influence fades, Omaroch breaks free from demon control and chooses to openly oppose them once again as well as atone for the crimes he committed as their slave.
* BlackSheep: Compared to the rest of his clan, he is not xenophobic and is actually willing to side with humans instead of aiding his kin.
* DefectorFromDecadence: He chooses to oppose his fellow demons in order to give humans a chance to live in the world.
* DemonLordsAndArchDevils: Omaroch used to be the leader of the now-nonexisting Central Horde. Despite no longer being in charge of a horde, he is still an archdemon and is thus quite powerful.
* DisappearedDad: He was this to his sons for a while. The reason was that he was captured and brainwashed over several years, and by the time he returned, he was molded into a servant of Mardük.
* DistressedDude: He ends up imprisoned by the Northern Horde while he is on a mission to assassinate his mother.
* LukeIAmYourFather: He is the father of Refan and Zarnagon and the grandfather of Gabriel, Ildor and Xerathas.
* MalignedMixedMarriage: Omaroch married Delora, a human cleric of a deity who directly opposed his master Mardük, and had two half-demon children with her. Both of their respective clergies and gods saw this union as an abomination not only because of their opposing faiths but also because humans and demons weren't meant to produce offspring, and the family ended up persecuted for many years until Omaroch was captured and imprisoned and Delora was killed in a raid to their home.
* MyGreatestFailure: Omaroch still laments the fact that he was unable save his wife's life and prevent his sons from falling into darkness.
* MysteriousProtector: Omaroch to Refan. He helps Refan not only because they're related but because Refan has an important part to play in Mardük's plans.
* OddFriendship: Richelieu, a human mage, and Omaroch, a demon lord, become close friends. During the time when Alent had a decadent court, they could only trust each other.
* TeacherStudentRomance: Implied with his student Ronove's close, almost fanatically loyal apprenticeship to him. Demons are bisexual, after all, and it is very likely Omaroch chose his apprentice and lieutenant because of the deep friendship they shared prior to the demon invasion of Yamato.

::'''Richelieu'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/t-richelieu_1981.gif
-->''"I can't deny my past."''

A loyal follower and advisor of Jemuel, he temporarily became the regent of Alent while Jemuel was incapacitated. He is smart and powerful and has a pragmatic view on many things, feeling that mortals no longer have to rely on gods and that the pursuit of knowledge and peace justify even cruel acts along the way.

* TheAtoner: After causing the death of a person who turns out to be his brother, he finally realizes that he's been brainwashed to work for a dark god. After that he openly rebels against the Clergy of Mardük, joins up with Jemuel and tries to do what he can to help the world... even if his methods end up being not so friendly in the end.
* BadassBookworm: He looks meek but can pack quite a punch with his spells, even posing a threat to powerful warlocks.
* [[DeadLittleSister Dead Older Brother]]: While executing a bunch of rebels, one of them turns out to be in fact his missing brother who calls out his true name Julian. The call triggers Richelieu's memories. After this Richelieu nearly goes insane from realizing that he has caused his brother's death and begins plotting to get rid of the Clergy of Mardük which took away his identity and caused the tragic event that he witnessed. That in turn leads him to begin a new, better life with the future of humankind in mind.

* PragmaticVillainy: He is a poster boy of this. He can do evil things even as an Alentian but he won't cause unneeded suffering if it doesn't help him achieve his goals. He does do his best to avoid violence but is willing to break people if they threaten Alent's security.
* SpecsOfAwesome: Just look at him. He never takes off his glasses, not even when facing powerful opponents in combat.
* SquishyWizard: He might not be the strongest guy around, but his knowledge of ancient magic is formidable.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He wishes to unite his homeland Libaterra and put an end to the constant strife there and strengthen the land against an impending demon invasion... however, this means crushing any opposition along the way.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: He has one and doesn't like to talk about it although he's given a few hints to his comrades from time to time.
* HandsomeLech: He's not terribly handsome by any standards, but he's definitely open in his rather shameless flirting.
* IWillProtectHer: He has sworn to protect Haruko.
* LadykillerInLove: He's had luck with several women in the past, but Haruko ends up being the first one to resist his charms, and he's smitten by her personality, looks and damsel in distress role.
* LoveableRogue: What he's seen as by many people.

::'''Yurius'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yurius_7365.PNG
-->''"Let it all burn!"''

An extremely powerful and cunning archdemon who has been sealed in another plane of existence ''twice''. He has appeared in every age of tGA and is currently manipulating several villains in a bid for freedom. If he is ever freed, he won't stop until the whole world is reduced to ashes.

* DemonLordsAndArchDevils: He is a very powerful archdemon. However, he is also quite insane, willing to destroy the whole world. Some demons admire his strength, but most demons fear or hate him for his omnicidal views.
* DragonAscendant: Became this after Sydney Losstarot was killed in the First Age. Part of his modus operandi became to avenge Sydney's death by making the whole world burn in his name.
* EnfanteTerrible: He first appeared in form of a child who set family houses on fire. However, he grew as his powers increased until he assumed his terrifying adult form.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Some scholars suspect that Yurius's roaring rampage in the First Age was caused by the need to avenge the death of Sydney Losstarot, the only person he presumably cared for and perhaps even loved as a father figure of sorts. However, others claim that Sydney's death merely meant that the leash to keep Yurius in check was finally gone and that he freed himself to fulfill his goals which would result in the destruction of the world whether Sydney had lived or not.
* TheManBehindTheMan: To various villains. This time he acts a lot more subtly, using his various unsuspecting pawns to his advantage. Even if one pawn fails, he still has several others whom he can use to further his goals.
* ManipulativeBastard: Unlike his previous appearances, he has seemed to have learned his lession from previous dealings. Although he is still very evil and willing to kill everything, he now uses demonic trickery to gain followers and make them aid his agenda. So far he is manipulating at least [[GlassCannon Azriel]], [[PsychoLesbian Etna]], [[FourStarBadass Malphas]], and [[CloudCuckooLander Ned]] in his bid for freedom.
* OmnicidalManiac: He turns into this after Sydney Losstarot kicks the bucket. He hasn't recovered from it since and is constantly plotting to make the whole world burn in his name.
* SealedEvilInACan: He has been sealed twice, and both sealings (called Banishments) affected the world. He is now actively trying to break free for the ''third'' time, and his hatred burns even brighter than ever before.

An amnesiac Yamatian girl who was released from a magical crystal in Reign and is said to be the current host of Laverna, the Goddess of Thieves. She's doing what she can to remember more about her past, but she's essentially like a fish out of water in a time period she isn't familiar with and isn't quite sure who she can really trust and who is just trying to use her for their own gain.

* CryIntoChest: She does this to Katsutoshi after a tense experience.

* HeadbuttOfLove: She does this with Katsutoshi after they've been through a traumatic experience in order to deal with the consequences of their actions.

* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: She holds the Goddess of Thieves inside her body thanks to a botched revival ritual, which makes her the target of many factions.

A disillusioned cleric who joined the Totenkopfs in an effort to weed out non-believers. His dreams of utopia led him to take drastic measures, and in the end he lost his life on the battlefield.

::'''Thanatos Barca'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thanatos_7659.png

A wily elven necromancer who wished to bring back the Old Ways of Necromancy by any means possible. He used the heroes of the Grand Alliance to his own ends, which were to bring back ancient tomes and rescue his missing daughter Persephone from the Coalition. He ended up betrayed by Persephone out of all people, but he later helped out the heroes even the odds by thwarting the demons' plans with Deidra.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yurius_7365.PNG
-->''"Let it all burn!"''

An extremely powerful and cunning archdemon who has been sealed in another plane of existence ''twice''. He has appeared in every age of tGA and is currently manipulating several villains in a bid for freedom. If he is ever freed, he won't stop until the whole world is reduced to ashes.

* DemonLordsAndArchDevils: He is a very powerful archdemon. However, he is also quite insane, willing to destroy the whole world. Some demons admire his strength, but most demons fear or hate him for his omnicidal views.
* DragonAscendant: Became this after Sydney Losstarot was killed in the First Age. Part of his modus operandi became to avenge Sydney's death by making the whole world burn in his name.
* EnfanteTerrible: He first appeared in form of a child who set family houses on fire. However, he grew as his powers increased until he assumed his terrifying adult form.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Some scholars suspect that Yurius's roaring rampage in the First Age was caused by the need to avenge the death of Sydney Losstarot, the only person he presumably cared for and perhaps even loved as a father figure of sorts. However, others claim that Sydney's death merely meant that the leash to keep Yurius in check was finally gone and that he freed himself to fulfill his goals which would result in the destruction of the world whether Sydney had lived or not.
* TheManBehindTheMan: To various villains. This time he acts a lot more subtly, using his various unsuspecting pawns to his advantage. Even if one pawn fails, he still has several others whom he can use to further his goals.
* ManipulativeBastard: Unlike his previous appearances, he has seemed to have learned his lession from previous dealings. Although he is still very evil and willing to kill everything, he now uses demonic trickery to gain followers and make them aid his agenda. So far he is manipulating at least [[GlassCannon Azriel]], [[PsychoLesbian Etna]], [[FourStarBadass Malphas]], and [[CloudCuckooLander Ned]] in his bid for freedom.
* OmnicidalManiac: He turns into this after Sydney Losstarot kicks the bucket. He hasn't recovered from it since and is constantly plotting to make the whole world burn in his name.
* SealedEvilInACan: He has been sealed twice, and both sealings (called Banishments) affected the world. He is now actively trying to break free for the ''third'' time, and his hatred burns even brighter than ever before.

* DoubleQuadrupleAgent: She worked for Alent at first but was in fact a double agent for the Coalition. Later it turned out her loyalties didn't lie with the Coalition either and that she had been hired by the Dwarven Triad instead.

::'''Varalia Earthhaven'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/t-varalia_3852.gif
-->''"The most effective way isn't always the most honourable way."''

The elven captain of High Propher Xerathas's guards, she's one of the Grey Cult's most prominent members. She has been raped twice but she hasn't succumbed to fear, anger or self-loathing. Instead she's become more determined than ever to fight for the right cause and make sure Xerathas doesn't turn out to be as corrupt as his father Zarnagon. She had a happy reunion with her long-lost daughter Unithien but the two were separated again when they found themselves on opposite sides of the war.

* ActionMom: She's the mother of two kids and can kick anyone's ass anytime.
* AntiVillain: Despite opposing the Alliance on multiple occasions, Varalia is a rather sympathetic character who cares for her men and wishes to see the world become a better place for people to live in. She also holds no grudges against her daughter who works for her enemies although she wishes that her daughter would finally join her so that they could be together.
* TheDragon: She's a loyal second-in-command to Xerathas.
* GoodParents: Varalia is this to her daughter Unithien and would continue to be the best mother ever if only they hadn't ended up on opposite sides of the war. Still, neither she nor her daughter will harm the other and will constantly try to persuade each other to join the other's side.
* KnightInSourArmor: Varalia believes in some inherent goodness of people although her experiences from the past haven't been nice.
* OurElvesAreBetter
* PetTheDog: Her interactions with Takamoto and Unithien show that she's not as cold a character as many assume. She cares for Takamoto's idealism and loves her daughter Unithien dearly.
* RapeAsDrama: She's been raped twice, and those events have left their marks on her as in emotional trauma and births of her children.
* RedBaron: Varalia's nickname is the Sapphire Ghost, which makes many of her foes tremble with fear.

::'''Xerathas d'Zarnagon'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/t-xerathas_5444.gif
-->''"I may not be able to stop the wheels of fate, but I will change the way they turn."''

A revered leader of the Godslayer-worshipping Grey Cult. He will do anything for the Godslayer and is convinced that he's working for the right cause even when his plans involve the suffering of many. He has confronted the heroes on many occasions but has always managed to escape from their clutches to meet them another day. He is particularly interested in the swords Dawn and Dusk.

* AboveGoodAndEvil: He'll do whatever necessary to reach his goals.
* ManipulativeBastard: Xerathas's greatest strength is actually his speech. He has often convinced the heroes to do various things which have later turned out to have rather big consequences, not all of which have been in the heroes' favour.
* OverlordJr: He's the son of Zarnagon who was one of the evil sorcerers of Chaos during the Great War. Although he tries to avoid using violence, he's willing to manipulate people to get what he wants just like his father did.
* SquishyWizard: He uses powerful magic but can't take a physical beating.
* TheStoic: Xerathas shows no emotion at all.
* XanatosSpeedChess: Because the heroes constantly derail his plans, he has to adapt to situations to use the tools given to him to get the job done.

::'''Crowe Lley'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crowe_7489.png

A promiscuous councillor who uses sex to study magic. Called the "black sheep of the council", he isn't afraid of dabbling in the dark arts and causing an uproar in the more conservative members of the council. He's a free spirit, a party attitude and has an open mind to particularly chaotic schools of magic.

Associates tropes:
* TheCasanova: Pretty much. He has an almost perfect track record with women; [[ReallyGetsAround only a handful of the hundreds of women he's been with]] have ever resisted his charm to his mild disappointment.
* {{Necromancer}}: One of his many professions; he has made it his business to learn everything there is to know about the dark arts.

::'''Gertrude Kirkpatrick'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gertrude_8997.png

A councillor with encyclopaedic memorization. She knows all of Alent's libaries inside out and is the youngest member of the council.

Associates tropes:
* BadassBookworm: Despite her looking like a bookworm, she can also kick ass when needed because she has mastered many obscure spells.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: She's wise despite being in her late 20's and knows many of the books in Alent's library quite well.

::'''Gweneth'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gweneth_5123.PNG

-->''"Strength spawns from need, power from arrogance. I can say that I'm strong enough at the moment."''

An old mage whos is member of the council of Alent. Obsessed with creating the perfect candy machine and sometimes acting goofy, he's nevertheless wise and observant and spots things that many people often miss. He's worked with the Alliance on some occasions and is torn between whether to trust the Crimson Coalition or not.

* BattleInTheRain: Happens to him when he's ambushed by dwarven assassins in Alent during a storm.
* CoolOldGuy: He's almost 100 years old and is still badass enough to almost defeat a frickin' goddess in a duel.

::'''Jemuel'''

-->''"Once more the threat of the gods and those clinging to ancient, diluted bloodlines rears its ugly head, but this time, we are here to stand tall against them! In the coming days it will be your resolve, Alentians, that sees us through to a glorious new era of freedom!"''

An archmage with a tangled past. Originally Jemuel served King Unne until he plotted the king's death and usurped the throne but a bunch of heroes defeated him seemingly for good. However, the resurrection of Leon Alcibiates allowed him to return as a servant of the Underworld. The resurrected Jemuel was influenced by the friendship of his new companions, however, which eventually drove him to rebel against the Underworld and take his fate into his own hands. Now he rules as the lord of a Libaterran city of mages and wishes to free people from the shackles of the gods and the Godslayer while opposing the Crimson Coalition's goals along the way.

Associated tropes:
* AntiAntiChrist: After some soul-searching, Jemuel chooses to openly defy the Underworld which has wanted to use him as the champion of Death.
* BackFromTheDead: He returns to the world as a revenant.
* BastardUnderstudy: Jemuel is this to Dante whom he betrays in a crucial moment.
* CloningBlues: He has had three successful clones over the years thanks to Dante's experiments but he later destroyed them because he saw them as mockeries of himself.
* DivideAndConquer: Jemuel's tactic during the Great War when he pitted the Grand Alliance and Yamato Empire against one another and carved his empire while the two armies were busy fighting.
* MagicKnight: Jemuel is a powerful mage who is also proficient in sword-fighting.
* ManipulativeBastard: No matter whose side he's currently on, he's always been good at pulling the strings and making people dance to his tune.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Jemuel is a revenant who is driven by his desire to increase knowledge and free people from the shackles of celestial beings such as gods and the Godslayer.

* RegentForLife: Jemuel became this both when he took over the kingdom of Cardia and when he built the city of Alent.

::'''Malek Illuvius'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/malek_3955.png

An elven councillor and a master of the arcane arts. He's proud to the point of being arrogant to anyone not being on his level. Despite this he doesn't quite show the same unrestrained disdain as Trittledin and is more regal in his interactions.

* TheProudElite: He was raised in a noble elven family and hasn't forgotten his bloodline. He seems himself as one of the most powerful mages in Alent and rightfully so, but this means he sometimes tend to act rather cold towards those who don't share his passion with magic or aren't on his level.

::'''Omaroch d'Zarnagon'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/t-omaroch_3967.gif
-->''"I'm done running away."''

A rebellious archdemon who is the father of Refan and Kareth and the master of Ronove Thanadar. After the dark god Mardük's death, Omaroch found a purpose for his newfound freedom and began atoning for the sins he had committed while he had been serving the forces of Chaos. He's now helping Jemuel and fighting against demons because he doesn't wish the humans, whom he respects, to fall into darkness. He's also faced both his parents in combat and is trying to find a way to explain his actions to his sons and grandsons.

Associated tropes:
* ArchEnemy: Omaroch considers his parents as this because both of them have tried to use him for their own ends and have made his loved ones suffer. His parents feel that he has betrayed their cause and see him as a dangerous heretic that needs to be disposed of after he has suffered suitably long in their grip.
* TheAtoner: Omaroch becomes this after Mardük's death. He has done awful things and wishes to repay humanity by giving them hope and helping them combat the demon hordes. He also wishes to bond with his sons despite their differences.
* BeastAndBeauty: Omaroch, an archdemon, had a human wife named Delora.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: After Omaroch is captured by his brothers, he is tortured and mindraped for several years until eventually the news of his wife's death as well as the (supposed) corruption of his sons is enough to make him break. He is exposed to dark god Mardük's power and becomes an agent of Chaos, willing to do whatever is necessary to fulfill the god's and demons' agenda. Despite this he still shows some bits of remorse but can't help but following the orders that are given to him. However, once Mardük dies and his influence fades, Omaroch breaks free from demon control and chooses to openly oppose them once again as well as atone for the crimes he committed as their slave.
* BlackSheep: Compared to the rest of his clan, he is not xenophobic and is actually willing to side with humans instead of aiding his kin.
* DefectorFromDecadence: He chooses to oppose his fellow demons in order to give humans a chance to live in the world.
* DemonLordsAndArchDevils: Omaroch used to be the leader of the now-nonexisting Central Horde. Despite no longer being in charge of a horde, he is still an archdemon and is thus quite powerful.
* DisappearedDad: He was this to his sons for a while. The reason was that he was captured and brainwashed over several years, and by the time he returned, he was molded into a servant of Mardük.
* DistressedDude: He ends up imprisoned by the Northern Horde while he is on a mission to assassinate his mother.
* LukeIAmYourFather: He is the father of Refan and Zarnagon and the grandfather of Gabriel, Ildor and Xerathas.
* MalignedMixedMarriage: Omaroch married Delora, a human cleric of a deity who directly opposed his master Mardük, and had two half-demon children with her. Both of their respective clergies and gods saw this union as an abomination not only because of their opposing faiths but also because humans and demons weren't meant to produce offspring, and the family ended up persecuted for many years until Omaroch was captured and imprisoned and Delora was killed in a raid to their home.
* MyGreatestFailure: Omaroch still laments the fact that he was unable save his wife's life and prevent his sons from falling into darkness.
* MysteriousProtector: Omaroch to Refan. He helps Refan not only because they're related but because Refan has an important part to play in Mardük's plans.
* OddFriendship: Richelieu, a human mage, and Omaroch, a demon lord, become close friends. During the time when Alent had a decadent court, they could only trust each other.
* TeacherStudentRomance: Implied with his student Ronove's close, almost fanatically loyal apprenticeship to him. Demons are bisexual, after all, and it is very likely Omaroch chose his apprentice and lieutenant because of the deep friendship they shared prior to the demon invasion of Yamato.

::'''Richelieu'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/t-richelieu_1981.gif
-->''"I can't deny my past."''

A loyal follower and advisor of Jemuel, he temporarily became the regent of Alent while Jemuel was incapacitated. He is smart and powerful and has a pragmatic view on many things, feeling that mortals no longer have to rely on gods and that the pursuit of knowledge and peace justify even cruel acts along the way.

* TheAtoner: After causing the death of a person who turns out to be his brother, he finally realizes that he's been brainwashed to work for a dark god. After that he openly rebels against the Clergy of Mardük, joins up with Jemuel and tries to do what he can to help the world... even if his methods end up being not so friendly in the end.
* BadassBookworm: He looks meek but can pack quite a punch with his spells, even posing a threat to powerful warlocks.
* [[DeadLittleSister Dead Older Brother]]: While executing a bunch of rebels, one of them turns out to be in fact his missing brother who calls out his true name Julian. The call triggers Richelieu's memories. After this Richelieu nearly goes insane from realizing that he has caused his brother's death and begins plotting to get rid of the Clergy of Mardük which took away his identity and caused the tragic event that he witnessed. That in turn leads him to begin a new, better life with the future of humankind in mind.
* OddFriendship: Richelieu, a human mage, and Omaroch, a demon lord, become close friends. During the time when Alent had a decadent court, they could only trust each other.
* PragmaticVillainy: He is a poster boy of this. He can do evil things even as an Alentian but he won't cause unneeded suffering if it doesn't help him achieve his goals. He does do his best to avoid violence but is willing to break people if they threaten Alent's security.
* SpecsOfAwesome: Just look at him. He never takes off his glasses, not even when facing powerful opponents in combat.
* SquishyWizard: He might not be the strongest guy around, but his knowledge of ancient magic is formidable.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He wishes to unite his homeland Libaterra and put an end to the constant strife there and strengthen the land against an impending demon invasion... however, this means crushing any opposition along the way.

::'''Schtolteheim "Raine" Reinbach III'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raine2_8027.png

The current captain of the Anti Mage Police. He's quite arrogant and cunning but also suffers from a short temper when things don't go his way.

Associates tropes:
* TheCaptain: He's promoted as the captain of the Anti Mage Police after his predecessor's untimely death.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Schtolteheim prefers to be called Raine because he can't stand his first name. He is convinced that his parents were drunk when he was born and were trying to ask for more beer instead of naming him. Raine himself added the "III" to the end of his name during his teenage years, because he thought that if he had to have such a stupid name, it might as well sound important.
* InsufferableGenius: He can't stop bragging how intelligent and crafty he is, and he's actually just that good. However, his flaw is that although he's quite skilled, he's still nowhere near the level of the most skilled mages in the city no matter how much he likes to think he's above them.
* TheProudElite: He was born into a wealthy family and was the top of his class. This has made him quite arrogant, and his status as the captain of the AMP certainly doesn't help matters.

::'''Sydelius'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/t-syd_6509.gif

A councillor who specializes in engineering. He has succeeded in crafting various magical items, although his crowning achievement to date has been building the first functional airship in millennia.

* TheEngineer: Sydelius works as both a councillor but also as an engineer. His greatest achievement to date has been to reverse engineer the ancient Alentian designs and create the first airship in millennia.
* GreaseMonkey: He's quite dirty because he spends his time in the forges fixing things.

::'''Trittledin'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trittledin_2450.PNG
-->''"Do you think we're running some kind of charity in here? Well, think again! Quid pro quo: that's the name of the game around here!"''

An arrogant member of the Council of Mages who sees all non-mages as inferior beings. He has questioned the council's actions on many occasions but only his fear of the councillors' power has kept him in a leash. Despite his attitude he knows not to anger his peers too much and his power and intellect are enough for the council to not demote him for the time being. However, he is secretly plotting to take the reins and become the supreme ruler of Alent.

* HotBlooded: He loses his nerve whenever things don't go his way or if he thinks someone is questioning his authority. Needless to say this happens often and is a source of amusement (or irritation depending on a person) for the Council of Mages.
* JerkAss: He can be charming but is so arrogant and belittling that he angers many in the Alliance with his behaviour.
* SmugSnake: Very much so, constantly belittling the Alliance members whenever he can while claiming to be one of the most skilled mages out there.

::'''William Charles "Warley" Hil'neer'''
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/warley_4023.png
-->''"Aren't you proud, old man? Aren't you delighted? You're the master with the strongest apprentice in the world!"''

Harrad's apprentice who constantly bemoans how his master concentrates too much on silly things like candy machines instead of more important matters. He turns out to be the culprit behind the mage murders which have been plaguing Alent, and ends up attacking Harrad in order to leech his powers for himself.

* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: He worked as the seemingly obedient apprentice to Harrad, but was in fact responsible for the mage murders and eventually planned to finish off Harrad as well and leech his powers to grow stronger.
* IHaveYourWife: He blackmails the Anti Mage Police officer La'melle into helping him cover up his murder tracks by threatening to kill La'melle's wife and children if he doesn't comply.
* ManaDrain: He murders his victims by draining out all their mana and adding it to his own, thus growing more and more powerful the more mages he drains.

A female necromancer who aided Thanatos in his goals. She ended up framed by Persephone and Jezebeth for crimes she didn't commit, and the heroes slew her and realized too late they had been tricked. When the demons nearly triumphed, she returned from death to help heroes set right what once went wrong and sacrificed her spiritual essence to thwart the demons' plans with Thanatos.

An extremely powerful and cunning archdemon who has been sealed in another plane of existence ''twice''. He has appeared in every age of tGA and is currently manipulating several villains in a bid for freedom. If he is ever freed, he won't stop until the whole world is reduced to ashes.

Associated tropes:
* DemonLordsAndArchDevils: He is a very powerful archdemon. However, he is also quite insane, willing to destroy the whole world. Some demons admire his strength, but most demons fear or hate him for his omnicidal views.
* DragonAscendant: Became this after Sydney Losstarot was killed in the First Age. Part of his modus operandi became to avenge Sydney's death by making the whole world burn in his name.
* EnfanteTerrible: He first appeared in form of a child who set family houses on fire. However, he grew as his powers increased until he assumed his terrifying adult form.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Some scholars suspect that Yurius's roaring rampage in the First Age was caused by the need to avenge the death of Sydney Losstarot, the only person he presumably cared for and perhaps even loved as a father figure of sorts. However, others claim that Sydney's death merely meant that the leash to keep Yurius in check was finally gone and that he freed himself to fulfill his goals which would result in the destruction of the world whether Sydney had lived or not.
* TheManBehindTheMan: To various villains. This time he acts a lot more subtly, using his various unsuspecting pawns to his advantage. Even if one pawn fails, he still has several others whom he can use to further his goals.
* ManipulativeBastard: Unlike his previous appearances, he has seemed to have learned his lession from previous dealings. Although he is still very evil and willing to kill everything, he now uses demonic trickery to gain followers and make them aid his agenda. So far he is manipulating at least [[GlassCannon Azriel]], [[PsychoLesbian Etna]], [[FourStarBadass Malphas]], and [[CloudCuckooLander Ned]] in his bid for freedom.
* OmnicidalManiac: He turns into this after Sydney Losstarot kicks the bucket. He hasn't recovered from it since and is constantly plotting to make the whole world burn in his name.
* SealedEvilInACan: He has been sealed twice, and both sealings (called Banishments) affected the world. He is now actively trying to break free for the ''third'' time, and his hatred burns even brighter than ever before.
