%%* BigBad
%%* EvilUncle
* BigBad: [[spoiler:He is the one behind the operation of capturing the titular 13 ghosts and using them on Basileus's mechanism. He also captured his niece-in-law as one of the ghosts and intends to sacrifice his own nephew as the 13th one.]]
* EvilUncle: He's Arthur's rich uncle whose house the latter inherited. However, the entire house is a storeroom for twelve dangerous ghosts, and was designed that way by Cyrus. [[spoiler:He is also after the ghosts to power up an arcane mechanism.]]


Added DiffLines:

* GratuitousLatin: When Kalina explains to Arthur the meaning behind the ghosts, she opens a book and shows him the pages with the descriptions of the ghosts, their titles written in Latin.

* TheStoic: Unlike [[LaughingMad The Jackal]], shows little to no emotion besides a cold sneer as he manually rips his victims apart or snaps them in half with his freakish strength.

Added DiffLines:

* AnimalMotifs: Well, [[CaptainObvious a jackal.]] He's an opportunistic predator most likely to attack single houseguests that wander away from the group, and his signature [[LaughingMad demented cackling]] is similar to the yipping of a wild dog. [[spoiler: In his final onscreen appearance he walks away from the burning ruins of the Ocularis and throws back his head for a victory howl, [[DeathEqualsRedemption finally free of his torment in the afterlife.]]]]


Added DiffLines:

* TheHyena: Was [[EnforcedTrope originally his name]] in early drafts of the script. Tends to announce his presence with a villainous cackle.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: While it's implied he could have managed to escape the asylum fire that killed him, he chose to let himself die, as he felt it's what he deserved.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Ranks among the top three deadliest ghosts in the house, and unlike the [[AxCrazy other two,]] was just a hard-working family man who wanted to be left alone - until a racist lynch mob killed his family and brutally tortured him to death.

* PowerLevels: To a degree. The first four ghosts in the Zodiac are effectively harmless to the human inhabitants of the house (though undeniably eerie and frightening in appearance). The next few gradually escalate in danger, culminating with the final two being ghosts of psychopathic {{Serial Killer}}s.



* BatterUp: Carries around a baseball bat as his weapon of choice.

to:

* BatterUp: Carries around a baseball bat as his weapon of choice.choice, and is quite violent with it.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: While he'd rankle at [[SmallNameBigEgo being called a 'nobody']] in life, he was a fairly accomplished - though [[JerkJock arrogant]] - high school athlete with a potentially bright future. As a ghost he's easily one of the nastier Zodiac spirits, in the same [[{{Pun}} league]] as two murderous {{Serial Killer}}s and an unjustly killed Black man who [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds watched a racist mob lynch his family before they tortured him to death.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TheFifties: His era judging by the car he died in.

* ToolsOfTheirTrade: In life, he used his blacksmith's hammer to lay waste to Nathan and his goons, and as it was attached to his wrist before his death, he thus still uses it as a ghost.
