History Characters / XenobladeChronicles2OtherCharacters

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: While he's not a difficult BossBattle by any means, he still puts up a better fight than one would expect from a chubby, foppish governor, and is more powerful than the trained soldiers encountered beforehand. That being said, he is at least a Driver, and may have some degree of military background. This is supported when NPC chatter later on in Mor Ardain reveals that pretty much everyone in the government, Dughall included as the consul for Mor Ardain's largest colony, has some degree of a military background.

* StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred: After being beaten, he demands this of Perceval, staking his life on trying to prove the Blade is still the "Heartless Judge" of the past. [[spoiler:Perceval simply knocks him out with a wicked GutPunch, though not before informing him [[CruelMercy he will live so that he will be forced to atone for his crimes]]. Bradley before dropping notes this [[FateWorseThanDeath truly proves Perceval still has it]].]]

[[folder:Tyrannotitan Kurodil]]
One of the few {{Superboss}}es with actual lore behind it, Tyrannotitan Kurodil is a colossal weaponized Ballistaur Titan that has been trapped in ice for hundreds of years. Rex and co. can head to the Profaned Place in Temperantia to free and challenge this gargantuan menace.

* MysteriousPast: Knows Pyra and Torna, but doesn't give anything specific on his past during his first meeting with Rex. He mockingly calls Malos "comrade," suggesting they might have been allies at some point [[spoiler:as it is interesting to note that they both shared a former Driver in Amalthus as Cole's dagger initially belonged to him]]. It's also implied in the same scene that he has knowledge/expertise that could be useful to Torna.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:His real name is Minoth and he once fought in the Aegis War and knew Mythra and Azurda.]]

* YourDaysAreNumbered: [[spoiler:Due to Uraya's less than ideal ether amount in the environment, his health is significantly worsened by living there, shortening his lifespan significantly. A side quest lets you improve his health greatly, but it's noted that his human side means he will still eventually die.]]

* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: One possible romanization of his name, "Nephel", is the singular of {{Nephilim}}, which can mean either "the marvelous one" (referring to his title as emperor) or "the fallen one" [[spoiler:referring to his temporary death at Bana's hands]].

The strongest artifice, created with the purpose of destroying the entirety of Alrest.

* FinalBoss: Malos pilots Aion to destroy Elysium, as he promised.
* GodzillaThreshold: The reluctance of the Beanstalk director to activate it indicates that it was built as a last resort. Too bad Klaus got to the Conduit first.
* HumongousMecha: One of the leftover war machines from Klaus's world.

* VillainousBreakdown: As Jin chills him to absolute zero, Amalthus loses all composure, admits to himself he was not the Architect's chosen one, and begins beseeching the Architect directly for providence before being reduced to a whimper.
--> "Father... Why do you not answer when I call...?"

* PosthumousCharacter: He is long since dead from the start of the story.

* LoadBearingBoss: Amalthus attempts to {{invoke}} this after his final battle with the heroes, extending his CombatTentacles and attacking his surroundings in an attempt to make the World Tree collapse from the inside. Jin puts a stop to that [[HeroicSacrifice at the cost of his own life]].

* OneWingedAngel: After Rex and Mikhail jointly take down Indol, thus depriving him of all the physical and political power he held as Praetor, Amalthus fuses with all the Core Crystals he had gathered as a last resort and transforms into a armored giant, several times taller than Rex, covered in Core Crystals and sprouting CombatTentacles from his back.

* DramaticIrony: One Heart-to-Heart reveals that [[spoiler:Tatazo's wife fell in love with him for being so true to himself..... and it also became the reason why she eventually left him, since he would spend all his time working on artificial Blades and none with her.]]

* InTheBlood: Tora inherited his love of maids from him, who likewise inherited it from Soosoo.

* MadScientist: Tora has fond memories of Soosoo leaning over blueprints and cackling maniacally.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: To the people of Indol and especially the refugees, he is their noble Praetor who works to stop and meditate conflict throughout Alrest. The leaders of the other nations who dislike his disproportionate power of their international affairs respect him for his power and authority. Even Mythra, who knows very well of his darker nature, seems at least cautiously optimistic of his supposed change of heart in the present-day. All of this is a cover for a man who views the world as a hellhole and secretly deep down wants it all to just hurry up and die.

--> "And I too was afraid. I feared the Aegis's power."

* PowerNullifier: She can nullify the power of most Blades and in cases of really powerful ones, {{Nerf}}.

* PowerCrystal: Has one, like all Blades. [[spoiler:However, as Mythra takes note of and points out to Nia, there's something ''wrong'' with hers; half of it is ''missing''. The culprit is eventually revealed to have been Amalthus.]]

The Praetor of Indol who holds great influence over Alrest through his ability to cleanse Core Crystals.

[[folder:Emperor Niall Ardanach ''(Nefel Superbia)'']]

* HeroOfAnotherStory: He is the previous Driver of the Aegis and the hero who saved the world from Malos 500 years ago.

* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:Survives the explosion of Giga Rosa, which is even more impressive considering he did this without any real protection when when Emperor Niall ends up being killed by the same explosion after having Aegeon shield everyone else.]]

* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:Survives the explosion of Giga Rosa.]]

* WarForFunAndProfit: Bana was willing to sell weapons and material to all factions, including Torna. [[spoiler:He later attempts to kill Queen Raqura and frame the Ardainians for the crime so he can profit from a war between Uraya and Mor Ardain.]]

* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler:He calls out his father for abandoning the family, allying with people who killed a kid's parent, and conspiring against the very Empire that is feeding his sibling. He can even arrest his father if the player chooses so.]]
