->''"And, at long last, the inevitable showdown between the forces of Light and Shadow. It's not so clear-cut, however, is it, Tainted One? But battle we must. With the Sands of Time in such a state, I suspect it will add quite an... unpredictable dynamic to this contest. Who knows? It might help you win. Of course, the odds of defeating a being such as I... well, they are slim, but come, give me your best."''

->'''Magic School:''' Shadow

Freed from imprisonment by the Wizard in the forsaken depths of Khrysalis, the mysterious being known as Old Cob aids the Wizard in their quest to defeat Morganthe. At the end of the Khrysalis questline, he [[FaceHeelTurn betrays the Wizard,]] revealing himself as the [[spoiler:Primordial god of shadow, Grandfather Spider]]. Free from his prison, he and [[spoiler:his children]] launch an assault on the worlds of the Spiral, working with the shadowy and elusive Cabal to bring about and end to the universe itself. An insanely powerful and intelligent entity, Old Cob represents the strongest and most dangerous threat the Wizard, and the Spiral itself, has ever seen.
----
* BigBad: Of the third story arc. He's also the BiggerBad of Polaris, Mirage and the upcoming Empyrea.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the ''entire Spiral'', spanning both Wizard101 and its sister game Pirate101.
* [[spoiler:EldritchAbomination]]: [[spoiler:At the end of Khrysalis, he is revealed as Grandfather Spider, one of the three Primordials that shaped the Spiral. While he appears in a (relatively) humanoid form ingame, he's consistently depicted as a colossal, shadowy spider by the Luphilim Oracles' images.]]
* AffablyEvil: States several times that he considers the Wizard a friend, and only engages in conflict with them because they're refusing to stop interfering in his business. Compared to the previous two arc villains, he has many more bits of humorous and witty dialogue. Don't let it all fool you, though-- he's much more dangerous and powerful than he lets on, and his [[TheChessmaster plans are numerous, ancient and infinitely complex.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: A lot of his dialogue with the Wizard, post-Khrysalis, falls into this category. At certain moments, he drops the act completely, becoming almost [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness ominously serious]]. [[spoiler:You can practically ''feel'' him shift his tone from Old Cob to the primordial Grandfather Spider.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice actor does an exceptional job at this.
* StoneWall: When fought in the Sands of Time, he has ''99,999'' health (he would have had 100k, but the [[UpToEleven game's engine can't handle that number.]]) Multiply that with resist to every school but Myth, and you get one hell of a tank. He's considered the most difficult main-quest boss so far.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Justified in that he's a [[spoiler:[[EldritchAbomination Primordial]]]]. His true endgame, and even the purpose of his actions, are mostly unknown to the Wizard, but his schemes over the course of Polaris and Mirage fit him squarely into the 'villain' category.
* CurbStompBattle: Destroys Overlord Xerxes' ''entire army'' with one quick spell. It's implied that he was only defeated in Mirage because he was holding back out of subconscious respect for the Wizard, and even that was basically a tie.
* TheCorrupter: To Morganthe, and the Duck of Death in Pirate101. He's also heavily suggested to have had a role in Malistaire's descent into madness.
* ArchEnemy: [[spoiler:Grandmother Raven,]] who broke his heart and went against his wishes [[spoiler:when she created the Spiral.]]
* SealedEvilInACan: Locked in the [[TailorMadePrison Black Hole]] in the depths of Khrysalis by Grandmother Raven. Even the [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Umbra Legion]] is ''terrified'' of the Thing in the Pit. Taylor Coleridge tricks the Wizard into releasing him towards the end of the Second Arc.
* RuleOfThree: Is one of the three [[spoiler:Primordials, along with Grandfather Tree and Grandmother Raven]].

Such a threat is beneath me, especially on the eve of my victory. Mirror Lake broke, then Huracan, the horned one, called to Xibalba. And then I brought down the sky. And you failed and failed and failed. But really, in the face of prophecy, what choice did you have? You dabble in Shadow, but you have no idea what it truly means. Shadow bends to reality. And reality bends to my whim. Face me in all my forms, and '''despair!'''"''

->'''Magic School:''' Death

Morganthe is a malicious and powerful sorceress who acts as the BigBad of the second StoryArc. Born in Avalon, she learned mighty magic studying under King Artorius' court wizard, Merle Ambrose. Journeying with Ambrose to Wizard City, she became one of Ravenwood's most promising students, but was expelled for practicing forbidden magic and nearly causing the city to fall into the Void. Humiliated and betrayed, the young Morganthe wandered to the lost world of Khrysalis, earning the allegiance through cleverness or fear of its denizens. As she grew in age, she grew in power, committing great acts of evil and darkness in the name of her new kingdom, the Shadow Web.

She is first mentioned in Celestia as the cause of the world's destruction-- she brought down the Celestians in a bid to take their Astral Magic for her own. After the Wizard rescues Thurston Plunkett and his expedition in Celestia, she reveals herself and her plan: Use the Astral Magic to fulfil the ancient Grand Prophecy and remake the Spiral in her image. The player chases her through the worlds, but keeps falling one step behind as the Grand Prophecy nears completion. Finally, with the help of the Council of Light and the mysterious being known as Old Cob, the Wizard confronts Morganthe in her Shadow Palace [[spoiler:and defeats her, breaking her spells and pulling her forever into the Void between the Worlds]].
----
* BigBad: Of Khrysalis, and the second story arc as a whole. She's also the BiggerBad of Celestia, Zafaria, Avalon and Azteca.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Umbra Queen of the Shadow Web, tyrant of Khrysalis, and a ''very'' evil woman.
* Complete Monster: Morganthe has absolutely no qualms about committing atrocities to further her agenda, ranging from kidnapping to ''genocide.'' During the Azteca questline, she [[spoiler:brings down the Xibalba meteor, obliterating the entire world of Azteca, including innocent men, women, children and ''her own forces'']] without a shred of doubt or hesitation. Unlike Malistaire, she has no excuse for her actions, nor does she ever show remorse for what she's done. The closest thing we see to her behaving any other way than ''pure evil'' is as a little girl, in a memory gauntlet in Radiance Alcazar. Even then, she's [[spoiler:just trying to convince Sir Malory to MindRape King Artorius instead of murder him]].
* TokenHuman: The Umbra Legion consists almost entirely of Khrysalis Arachnids, but its leader is a human sorceress from Avalon.
* SpidersAreScary: Has several pet spiders, and her Umbra Legion is heavily spider-themed. Her elite commanders are Spider Magi PettingZooPeople, and the Spider Temple in Zafaria marks the beginning of her Grand Prophecy. Even her outfit is... spider-y.
* MsFanservice: Not bad-looking for a centuries-old sorceress. Becomes FanDisservice at the end of Khrysalis, [[spoiler:when she transcends her mortal form to become a giant spider Shadow Goddess.]]

Taken UpToEleven in Azteca, where she [[spoiler:actually manages to bring down Xibalba and destroy the entire world, right after the player finishes the ''long'' process of preventing that exact scenario]].
* ArchEnemy: To Merle Ambrose, her mentor in Avalon, headmaster in Ravenwood and nemesis as [[spoiler:leader of the Council of Light]]. While Merle wants to preserve the Spiral's structure and protect its worlds, Morganthe considers the system flawed, seeking to remake it in her own image.
* OneWingedAngel: The Morganthe boss fight in the Shadow Palace is against ''five versions of herself at once''. [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers There are only four duel slots on the mob side of a duelling circle.]]
* ThatOneBoss: [[invoked]] While the final confrontation in Khrysalis is challenging, the Young Morganthe battle in Ghost Avalon is notoriously difficult due to her unpredictable attack patterns and cheats.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[AC:I am the Master of Death.]]]]
->''"And so it comes to this. You, shaking in your too-large robes. A flimsy wand trembling in your grasp. The sour scent of fear in the air. And me. EXULTANT in my mastery of magic. At my moment of greatest pain and confusion and despair, the locked gates of the Spiral opened before me, and I was able to master Shadow. Once you are but a memory and a pinch of dust upon the wind, I will have the power to restore my Sylvia to her vibrant form. Then, we can live out our lives as we planned, quietly and in peace. And Shadow take any who get in our way. I challenge you under the ancient Law of Kan Davasi. It is just between us now, Wizard. Prepare your spells. '''Face my cold fury.'''"''

->'''Magic School:''' Death

The former Ravenwood Death Professor, Malistaire Drake is the BigBad of the first StoryArc. After losing his wife Sylvia to disease, Malistaire's heart was broken, leading him to seek forbidden knowledge in an attempt to resurrect her. Driven by his unrelenting quest, he began to descend into madness, ripping the Death School from Ravenwood itself and forsaking Wizard City in his pursuit of necromantic power. With the power of the ancient [[TomeOfEldritchLore Krokonomicon]], Malistaire attempted to awaken the primordial [[PhysicalGod Dragon Titan]] to serve him, placing the Spiral itself in grave danger. With the help of his brother Cyrus and Sylvia's ghost, he is killed by the Wizard, expressing regret for his actions and joining his beloved wife in the Afterlife.

Years later, the Shadow Queen Morganthe used her necromancy to call Malistaire back to the mortal plane as a [[OurLichesAreDifferent lich]], bound to serve her Shadow Web. Confused and in pain, Malistaire once again lost his mind, able to hold on only to distant memories of Sylvia and his burning hatred for the Wizard who took his life. After Morganthe [[spoiler:completes her ritual to destroy the world of Azteca]], he is sent hurtling through the raw shadow of the Void between the Worlds, eventually landing in the midnight world of Darkmoor. Brokering a deal with the Vampire Lord Shane von Shane, Malistaire took refuge in Castle Darkmoor, challenging the Wizard to a duel to the death by the ancient custom of ''Kan Davasi''. The Wizard fights though Darkmoor's hordes of nightmarish creatures, finally coming face-to-face with the unimaginable necromantic power of the newly-crowned Malistaire the Undying. In an epic battle, the Wizard defeats the corrupted, undead professor, releasing his spirit from Morganthe's Shadow magic. Once again, he joins his wife Sylvia in blessed Afterlife, remarking to the Wizard that they will not meet again.
----
* BigBad: Of Dragonspyre, and the first story arc as a whole. He's also the BiggerBad of Wizard City, Krokotopia, Marleybone and Mooshu. As Malistaire the Undying, he briefly acts as TheDragon to Morganthe during the Azteca storyline. Finally, he returns as the Big Bad of the special side world of Darkmoor.
* Badass: Throughout the Wizard City storyline, Malistaire's incredible power is mentioned over and over again. In the final dungeon of Dragonspyre, he [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] his brother Cyrus before facing the Wizard in a tense duel. When encountered as a lich [[spoiler:on Xibalba]], he's immune to all damage: you must simply ''survive the fight'' long enough for [[spoiler:Morganthe's ritual to break the comet apart, causing]] the battle to end by default.
* OneWingedAngel: In Darkmoor, defeating him in his lich form results in his transformation into a [[EldritchAbomination hate-fueled demon of raw Shadow magic]].
* ThatOneBoss: [[invoked]] Malistaire the Undying is currently the most powerful mob in the game, and his dungeon can take hours to complete without a well-prepared team. As he drops the highest-tier endgame gear available, dedicated players often must fight him several times. Thankfully for more casual players, he's an optional boss.
* DrivenToMadness: What began as a quest to restore his wife to life descended into a quest for forbidden knowledge that corrupted Malistaire's heart and soul, causing him to abandon his morals in pursuit of greater power. When he's brought back from the Afterlife by Morganthe, he loses his mind ''again'', becoming an unded creature of pure hatred.
* BerserkButton: Absolutely ''loses it'' when he thinks Cyrus is using Sylvia's memory to manipulate him.
* OmnicidalManiac: Is willing to allow the Dragon Titan to obliterate the Spiral just to see Sylvia restored to life.
* TragicVillain: Malistaire truly loved and was an exceptional husband to Sylvia, and was an outstanding professor at Ravenwood. In the end, his own inability to cope with loss led him down a path of darkness and insanity, losing everything he didn't even realize he had left.

Merle Ambrose is the Headmaster of the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts. Originally from the world of Avalon, he journeyed to the heart of the Spiral and built Wizard City around the World Tree, founding the Ravenwood School to teach magic to young wizards of all origins. An ancient and powerful wizard, Headmaster Ambrose prefers to share his arcane knowledge with others rather than hoard it for himself-- he truly loves and cares for his students and faculty, regardless of race or origin. While he keeps Wizard City secluded from the politics of the Spiral, he is treated with a great degree of respect by leaders of its various worlds.

* CoolOldGuy: The most powerful wizard alive and the [[spoiler:leader of the Council of Light]], as well as the headmaster of the most prestigious wizarding school in the Spiral. Not bad.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: The player encounters Merle while reliving Morganthe's memories of her time as a Ravenwood student, centuries in the past. The Headmaster ''doesn't even look any younger''. In an Avalon flashback, we see him as Artorius' court wizard, centuries before ''that''. [[UpToEleven He still looks the same]].
* SinkOrSwimMentor: Although he's shown to care deeply about his students, he's not hesitant to send the player into extremely dangerous situations.
* {{Expy}}: Bears similarity to another [[HarryPotter magical headmaster]], as well as the famed wizard [[KingArthur Merlin]] of Arthurian legend.
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Shares a bond with Grandfather Tree, one of the three Primordial Beings that shaped the Spiral from the shattered fragments of the First World.
* BigGood: Of Wizard City, and later of the entire game [[spoiler: as head of the Council of Light.]]
