* Respects: [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} Bryan Mills]], [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} Asura]], [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Gabriel Belmont]]
* Opposed by: Most investigators in the Pantheon as well as the House of Pantheon/{{Justice}}
* Scott Shelby was a private investigator who was hired by the families who were victim of the notorious Origami Killer, a SerialKiller who would kidnap children and drown them till they were found, leaving Origami figures before as clues. Truth is, Scott was never hired by said families and never was after the Origami Killer, but he was actually the Origami Killer all along, looking to get rid of all evidence that would link him to the crimes.
* While he is a child murderer, there is a group of people that actually sympathize with him. As it turns out, when he was a child he witnessed the death of his twin brother and how his abusive drunk father never bothered to save him. That would be the [[StartOfDarkness motivating factor in turning Scott]] into the SerialKiller he ended up becoming, looking for a father who would do everything to save his son.
** That said, while many feel sorry for the loss of his twin brother John, not many defend the countless lives he took just to find someone who would fit his very particular description of a good father. It's implied many of his victims' parents either perished trying to rescue their children or never [[GuideDangIt understood the meaning of the Origami figures]]-
* How Scott's story concluded is [[MultipleEndings up to debate]], but the most common [[GoldenEnding assumption is that]] he [[spoiler:finally managed to find the father that would sacrifice everything for his son in the form of Ethan Mars. He would have gotten away if it weren't for the intervention of journalist Madison Paige and FBI agent Norman Jayden, the latter stepping in and engaging him, resulting in his death]].
* '''Hates''' the deities that form the so called Child Abuse Supporters, as you can very well know that those kind of people are what lead him to become the Origami Killer. Some were quick to call him an {{Hypocrite}} for trying to pretend he was morally better than those even if he ultimately broke a lot of families because of his desire to see a father that would fit his insane criteria.
* Among deities who belong to the Police forces, Scott is seen as a disgrace by virtue of being a SerialKiller but making it worse by pretending to be a private investigator. Some are more lenient because Scott has shown that he [[AffablyEvil can be actually nice]] to the people that are supposedly his victims (To the point that he would look like he is just sabotaging himself).
** He is also an ex-marine, explaining why he is so proficient in the art of CQC combat and why he is such a good shot. That said, ex-marines like Frank Castle or Leroy Gibbs think he is the worst of the worst and they don't want to be associated with him.
* On the other side, he seems to be on good terms with detectives Tohru Adachi and Goro Akechi, more so with the latter since he also had a rocky relationship with his father (Not helping Akechi's status as an illegitimate child) and that ended up both shaping them in becoming killers. Shelby gettin along with Akechi actually made Adachi quite upset at the fact that Scott doesn't have the same kind of mindset as he does and that caused some form of vitriol between the two, mostly since Scott's motivation are hardly motivated by childish reasons like Adachi as supposed to his more revenge-driven reasons for becoming the Origami Killer.
* Being a KillerCop, Manny Pardo has tried to capture and murder Scott so he would gain good PR in the eyes of the pantheon denizens, even if that would be no different for what he usually does. Not to mention there are some people who thins that Scott, an actual child murderer, is not as depraved as he is, a statement that seriously damaged his ego.
* Scott and Jigsaw get along a lot, both having similar MO by kidnapping their victims and making them go through a series of traps although circumstances are different for each of the killers' victims. Scott also seems to respect Jack the Ripper in some way, [[spoiler:particularly the version where he is revealed to be commissioner James Gordon]].
* Any father that is [[PapaBear very protective of their children]] has earned the respect of Scott. People like Bryan Mills, Asura and Gabriel Belmont are among the ones he holds in high regard, but they are ashamed of what Scott is and every last of them have sworn to punish Scott for his actions, not to mention what would happen if he would target their children.
* He suffers from asthma, but he is actually quite competent as a fighter believe or not. He ocassionally gets himself treated in the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases even if his reputation is at all time low.
* The Pantheon is well aware of what he does, so his crime sprees as the Origami Killer have not continued in the pantheon, most probably [[spoiler:because he was satisfied with Ethan Mars and his death put the final nail in the Origami Killer]]. The one punishment he received from the pantheon authorities is him being unable to see his brother John, which actually broke Scott to the point of secluding himself in his temple for a while. Nowadays he tries to stick to being an actual private eye, but had little success since people aren't willing to forget who he is.
* Can also be found in the House of [[Pantheon/InvestigativeWork Profession]].

* One day, while observing the recently ascended Near, upon hearing how he also thinks that giving a real would ruin any fun in a game, he decided to experiment how smart Near was by sending him a riddle in a form of a pure-white puzzle with 200 pieces. The actual clue was written in invisible ink. To his surprise, Near solved it and appeared before him at 2 AM in front of Scrooge [=McDuck=]'s money vault, phoning in Batman with the Batman search signal. The deities refuse to let him live down the fact he was outsmarted by someone who could possibly not be able to walk.

To his surprise, Near solved it and appeared before him at 2 AM in front of Scrooge [=McDuck=]'s money vault, phoning in Batman with the Batman search signal. The deities refuse to let him live down the fact he was outsmarted by someone who could possibly not be able to walk.

* Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/{{Offsprings}} Goro Akechi]] (Parker)
* Sometime after the end of their last job (at least seen in the show), the Court of the Gods decided to invite the crew to the Pantheon to represent GoodFeelsGood, not only because of [[Recap/LeverageS01E02TheHomecomingJob one of their jobs]] ending with a display of gratefulness that invokes the trope, but also because this fulfillment has profound effects on its representatives except its [[spoiler:original]] leader Nathan Ford, who steered the crew with this in the first place.
** As for their second trope, there ''has'' to be a reason to root for criminals, and the Leverage crew's modus operandi gives an ultimate reason.
* In regards to who leads the crew now in the Pantheon, [[spoiler:since Nate passed the torch to Parker as he and Sophie retired]], that was a somewhat difficult question to answer. At present, [[spoiler:the retired members]] just stay at their temple at the [[Pantheon/MotivationsForHeroism House of Heroes]] and live normal lives (well, normal as it can get in the Pantheon) while [[spoiler:the remaining active members]] continue doing their usual jobs and are based at their second temple at the [[Pantheon/CriminalActions House of Crime]], though both are connected.
** As for their last (TV) appearance, their con involved [[spoiler:retrieving the [[http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2012/12/leverage-spoiler-alert-show-goes-out-on.html "Black Book"]]: an evidence cache gathered by Interpol on how a cabal of fat cats [[LetNoCrisisGoToWaste took advantage of the 2008 financial crisis]] to embezzle ''over one-third of the entire world's wealth'' - evidence which Interpol then ''suppressed'' rather than march an endless stream of bankers into courthouses, because they believed it would have irreparably destroyed public opinion of global economics. At the end of that episode, the team has it and are preparing for all-out war on the Secret Masters of the World - with the help of similar teams that have sprung up in the past five years]]. Unfortunately, what's happened after that is unknown [[spoiler:and none of them are giving answers]].
* Applies to the team as a whole or more than one of its members:
** After learning that their actions were public knowledge in the Pantheon, the first thing the crew did was acquire all manners of disguising tools (hologram tech, [[LatexPerfection latex masks]], etc.) among other gear needed for the smarter/stronger threats in the Pantheon.
** Being as they're also vigilantes that go after rotten higher-up figures [[MightMakesRight capable of evading the law]], the crew made fast allies with the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. As someone who does the same thing ''legally'' and has experience working with criminals (even though one ''was'' a BoxedCrook before earning his freedom and another is his loyal best friend), the WhiteCollar division led by Peter Burke sometimes work with them too, as much as the FBI agent is sort of embarrassed with it.
*** The two caper crews had quite a bit to teach each other. Eliot and Makoto spar on occasion, Sophie helps Ann on her improv, Hardison and Futaba share hacking techniques, Nate helps Ren plan on how to do non-Metaverse heists, and Parker helps them how to discreetly steal (and pick locks). In return, the Phantoms are debating whether or not the Leverage crew can be trustworthy Metaverse Persona-users. At least Nate's backstory certainly fits the criteria.
*** Incidentally, they've dealt with [[http://leverage.wikia.com/wiki/The_Cross_My_Heart_Job a job involving a stolen heart]] before, though it was more of a literal sense. The Phantoms were impressed they managed to pull it off ''without much of their usual equipment''.
*** The Leverage crew recall the one time they targeted a corrupt food company. Unlike Okumura Foods however, whose problem was the boss Kunikazu Okumura overworking his employees as well as [[ArrangedMarriage marrying off his daughter Haru for the sake of the company]], which he plans to ''leave behind anyway'' for politics, [[Recap/LeverageS02E06TheTopHatJob Lilian Foods]] had its boss Erik Casten neglecting to report '''salmonella''' in a shipment of frozen food products ''just to avoid a lawsuit''.
*** They also remember another [[Recap/LeverageS03E06TheStudioJob job involving an artist stealing work from others under him]]. Unlike Ichirusai Madarame however, Mitchell Kirkwood was a record label owner and what he stole was digital masters[[note]]high-quality, multi-channel, studio-recorded, mixed, and engineered tapes[[/note]] instead of paintings.
** [[Recap/LeverageS03E14TheHoHoHoJob After a job involving stopping a heist that involved bank robbery and false]] {{Mall Santa}}s, despite his misgivings, Nicholas North has some respect for them for saving Christmas for the masses and (and the bank Chaos was trying to rob). Eliot also comments that he doesn't want to have to be a MallSanta ever again.
** The crew avoid Crowley whenever possible, as he [[MarkSheppard reminds them of]] their (mainly Nathan's) rival Jim Sterling, and he's a more despicable person to get involved with than the insurance investigator/Interpol agent. The fact that he's a demon sort of factors in that. That said, Crowley sometimes takes the time to screw with the crew for laughs, especially Nate. And so far, [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu finding a way to scam him]] doesn't seem to be a good idea; they have no real experience with the supernatural at the moment. For the time being.
** If children are getting harmed in an operation they're stopping, Eliot tends to get ''really'' violent. And Parker once stabbed a man with a fork for casually chatting about exploiting war orphans, which she once was (except the war part). [[spoiler:That said, Nate is actually far scarier than either of them in what he'll do to the instigators, like not only hunting them down and destroying their workplace, but the '''entire''' field they work in, and will even drop a con in favor of rescuing a kid]].
** A lot of their jobs have been relatively small-scale compared to what happens in the Pantheon, but there's a particularly big one they've opposed that's frightened and impressed everyone: [[Recap/LeverageS03E03TheInsideJob stopping a]] MadScientist from '''infecting the global wheat supply with blight''' '''''just so her company can profit''''' '''from the resulting monopoly of their genetically immune wheat'''. This, along with their alliance with he Phantom Thieves of Hearts, has marked the crew as a very large threat by every evil deity that the law can theoretically reach (with some help).
** Pulled [[http://leverage.wikia.com/wiki/The_Gimme_a_K_Street_Job a con to legalize cheerleading]] to get cheerleaders protected by the same safety standards that protect other sports players. That said, given the hassle they experienced while trying to manipulate government officials, it was one of their most frustrating jobs yet. But like most of their jobs, it was worth it.
** While the crew have done a lot of jobs, some people noted that a casino heist is not among them.
** One of their jobs involved [[http://leverage.wikia.com/wiki/The_Low_Low_Price_Job going against a huge company store buying out local stores]]. Well, just one store was what they settled for, but they managed to hurt the company anyway. As such, they also oppose Morris and Joja Corporation's strategies. Consequently, they respect how the Junes Department Store [[Pantheon/ExtrovertCharacterization Yosuke Hanamura's]] father manages gets to work ''with'' the local stores, albeit after the better part of a year of tense relations with them.
** The Inception crew are impressed that the Leverage crew managed to pull off [[Recap/LeverageS05E12TheWhiteRabbitJob the White Rabbit con]], which is like what the former do, but '''without''' literally entering their mark's dreams, instead using digital illusions and research on the target. Of course, just like people don't quite trust Cobb and co., many in the Pantheon find this scary.
** Curiously, in all the cons they've pulled on-screen, [[BlackAndWhiteMorality absolutely none of their marks have had any shades of gray in their morality]], which people find suspicious. While the same could be said about the Phantoms, they had the excuse of being teenagers new to the whole thing, while the crew were all adults with experience in the field.
* Exclusive to Nathan:
** Having lost his son to a neglectful insurance company (that he used to work for), and [[spoiler:his father—whom he just got back into good terms with—from a man who screwed the team over when they first got together]], Nate has a special hate for those who commit prolicide [[spoiler:or patricide]].

** When it comes to [[TimeForPlanB multiple plans]], Nate never runs with Plan A, because it has too many coincidences to pull it off right.

** Is known to be a terrible actress when she's not grifting (apparently enough that Eliot thinks ''playing Russian Roulette'' is better than watching one of her plays. [[spoiler:Since her retirement, though, she's actually improved immensely.]]

** Surprisingly, Eliot has what it takes to be a great guitarist and singer, and even got a fan base that resurfaced this fact despite his fame fading after the job. While he still knows how, it's not something he prefers to do often.
** [[Recap/LeverageS05E04TheFrenchConnectionJob Takes the cooking business seriously]] and despises those who don't do the same while screwing people over with business, those who say taste is overrated, or {{Evil Chef}}s in general.

Even though she managed to spend time in a stable with one [[LeverageS01E07TheTwoHorseJob as part of a job]], she gets twitchy whenever any equine deity is in her presence, though it's not as severe as before.

** There are those who wonder if Parker has what it takes to [[spoiler:lead the team in place of Nate and without Sophie]], but given that she, Hardison, and Eliot, do a job [[spoiler:tracking down a lethal bio-weapon, and save probably the entire Eastern Seaboard]] ''on their own'', [[spoiler:the answer is yes]].
*** Also, in regards to empathy, she's grown since joining the team (and getting together with Hardison).

* Respected by: [[Pantheon/{{Celebration}} Nicholas St. North]], [[Pantheon/{{Dreams}} the Inception Crew]]
* Pities: [[Pantheon/VillainousArchetypes Team Rocket]]
* Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/{{Offsprings}} Goro Akechi]] (Parker)
* Sometime after the end of their last job (at least seen in the show), the Court of the Gods decided to invite the crew to the Pantheon to represent GoodFeelsGood, not only because of [[Recap/LeverageS01E02TheHomecomingJob one of their jobs]] ending with a display of gratefulness that invokes the trope, but also because this fulfillment has profound effects on its representatives except its [[spoiler:original]] leader Nathan Ford, who steered the crew with this in the first place.
** As for their second trope, there ''has'' to be a reason to root for criminals, and the Leverage crew's modus operandi gives an ultimate reason.
* In regards to who leads the crew now in the Pantheon, [[spoiler:since Nate passed the torch to Parker as he and Sophie retired]], that was a somewhat difficult question to answer. At present, [[spoiler:the retired members]] just stay at their temple at the [[Pantheon/MotivationsForHeroism House of Heroes]] and live normal lives (well, normal as it can get in the Pantheon) while [[spoiler:the remaining active members]] continue doing their usual jobs and are based at their second temple at the [[Pantheon/CriminalActions House of Crime]], though both are connected.
** As for their last (TV) appearance, their con involved [[spoiler:retrieving the [[http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2012/12/leverage-spoiler-alert-show-goes-out-on.html "Black Book"]]: an evidence cache gathered by Interpol on how a cabal of fat cats [[LetNoCrisisGoToWaste took advantage of the 2008 financial crisis]] to embezzle ''over one-third of the entire world's wealth'' - evidence which Interpol then ''suppressed'' rather than march an endless stream of bankers into courthouses, because they believed it would have irreparably destroyed public opinion of global economics. At the end of that episode, the team has it and are preparing for all-out war on the Secret Masters of the World - with the help of similar teams that have sprung up in the past five years]]. Unfortunately, what's happened after that is unknown [[spoiler:and none of them are giving answers]].
* Applies to the team as a whole or more than one of its members:
** After learning that their actions were public knowledge in the Pantheon, the first thing the crew did was acquire all manners of disguising tools (hologram tech, [[LatexPerfection latex masks]], etc.) among other gear needed for the smarter/stronger threats in the Pantheon.
** Being as they're also vigilantes that go after rotten higher-up figures [[MightMakesRight capable of evading the law]], the crew made fast allies with the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. As someone who does the same thing ''legally'' and has experience working with criminals (even though one ''was'' a BoxedCrook before earning his freedom and another is his loyal best friend), the WhiteCollar division led by Peter Burke sometimes work with them too, as much as the FBI agent is sort of embarrassed with it.
*** The two caper crews had quite a bit to teach each other. Eliot and Makoto spar on occasion, Sophie helps Ann on her improv, Hardison and Futaba share hacking techniques, Nate helps Ren plan on how to do non-Metaverse heists, and Parker helps them how to discreetly steal (and pick locks). In return, the Phantoms are debating whether or not the Leverage crew can be trustworthy Metaverse Persona-users. At least Nate's backstory certainly fits the criteria.
*** Incidentally, they've dealt with [[http://leverage.wikia.com/wiki/The_Cross_My_Heart_Job a job involving a stolen heart]] before, though it was more of a literal sense. The Phantoms were impressed they managed to pull it off ''without much of their usual equipment''.
*** The Leverage crew recall the one time they targeted a corrupt food company. Unlike Okumura Foods however, whose problem was the boss Kunikazu Okumura overworking his employees as well as [[ArrangedMarriage marrying off his daughter Haru for the sake of the company]], which he plans to ''leave behind anyway'' for politics, [[Recap/LeverageS02E06TheTopHatJob Lilian Foods]] had its boss Erik Casten neglecting to report '''salmonella''' in a shipment of frozen food products ''just to avoid a lawsuit''.
*** They also remember another [[Recap/LeverageS03E06TheStudioJob job involving an artist stealing work from others under him]]. Unlike Ichirusai Madarame however, Mitchell Kirkwood was a record label owner and what he stole was digital masters[[note]]high-quality, multi-channel, studio-recorded, mixed, and engineered tapes[[/note]] instead of paintings.
** [[Recap/LeverageS03E14TheHoHoHoJob After a job involving stopping a heist that involved bank robbery and false]] {{Mall Santa}}s, despite his misgivings, Nicholas North has some respect for them for saving Christmas for the masses and (and the bank Chaos was trying to rob). Eliot also comments that he doesn't want to have to be a MallSanta ever again.
** The crew avoid Crowley whenever possible, as he [[MarkSheppard reminds them of]] their (mainly Nathan's) rival Jim Sterling, and he's a more despicable person to get involved with than the insurance investigator/Interpol agent. The fact that he's a demon sort of factors in that. That said, Crowley sometimes takes the time to screw with the crew for laughs, especially Nate. And so far, [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu finding a way to scam him]] doesn't seem to be a good idea; they have no real experience with the supernatural at the moment. For the time being.
** If children are getting harmed in an operation they're stopping, Eliot tends to get ''really'' violent. And Parker once stabbed a man with a fork for casually chatting about exploiting war orphans, which she once was (except the war part). [[spoiler:That said, Nate is actually far scarier than either of them in what he'll do to the instigators, like not only hunting them down and destroying their workplace, but the '''entire''' field they work in, and will even drop a con in favor of rescuing a kid]].
** A lot of their jobs have been relatively small-scale compared to what happens in the Pantheon, but there's a particularly big one they've opposed that's frightened and impressed everyone: [[Recap/LeverageS03E03TheInsideJob stopping a]] MadScientist from '''infecting the global wheat supply with blight''' '''''just so her company can profit''''' '''from the resulting monopoly of their genetically immune wheat'''. This, along with their alliance with he Phantom Thieves of Hearts, has marked the crew as a very large threat by every evil deity that the law can theoretically reach (with some help).
** Pulled [[http://leverage.wikia.com/wiki/The_Gimme_a_K_Street_Job a con to legalize cheerleading]] to get cheerleaders protected by the same safety standards that protect other sports players. That said, given the hassle they experienced while trying to manipulate government officials, it was one of their most frustrating jobs yet. But like most of their jobs, it was worth it.
** While the crew have done a lot of jobs, some people noted that a casino heist is not among them.
** One of their jobs involved [[http://leverage.wikia.com/wiki/The_Low_Low_Price_Job going against a huge company store buying out local stores]]. Well, just one store was what they settled for, but they managed to hurt the company anyway. As such, they also oppose Morris and Joja Corporation's strategies. Consequently, they respect how the Junes Department Store [[Pantheon/ExtrovertCharacterization Yosuke Hanamura's]] father manages gets to work ''with'' the local stores, albeit after the better part of a year of tense relations with them.
** The Inception crew are impressed that the Leverage crew managed to pull off [[Recap/LeverageS05E12TheWhiteRabbitJob the White Rabbit con]], which is like what the former do, but '''without''' literally entering their mark's dreams, instead using digital illusions and research on the target. Of course, just like people don't quite trust Cobb and co., many in the Pantheon find this scary.
** Curiously, in all the cons they've pulled on-screen, [[BlackAndWhiteMorality absolutely none of their marks have had any shades of gray in their morality]], which people find suspicious. While the same could be said about the Phantoms, they had the excuse of being teenagers new to the whole thing, while the crew were all adults with experience in the field.
* Exclusive to Nathan:
** Having lost his son to a neglectful insurance company (that he used to work for), and [[spoiler:his father—whom he just got back into good terms with—from a man who screwed the team over when they first got together]], Nate has a special hate for those who commit prolicide [[spoiler:or patricide]].
*** On regards to the latter, he got rid of [[spoiler:his father's murderer and their conspirator by leaving a loaded gun (which he had been [[HeWhoFightsMonsters convinced not to shoot them dead with by his team]]) on the edge of a concrete platform they were on and letting them fall off as they fight over it (after he had exposed both of their secrets). They might draw the line at murder, but Nate's willing to be [[TechnicalPacifist technical with it]].]]
** Nate an awkward relations with staunch Cathloics, given that he used to be [[RaisedCatholic raised as one]], only to turn his back on it after his son died, and sometimes [[Recap/LeverageS01E03TheWeddingJob posing as a priest]] [[http://leverage.wikia.com/wiki/The_Boys%27_Night_Out_Job when a con requires it]].
** When it comes to [[TimeForPlanB multiple plans]], Nate never runs with Plan A, because it has too many coincidences to pull it off right. He starts off lower with a simpler, grittier plan and spruces it up a little. According to WordOfGod, "When Nate gets past Plan G (which is the dirty and simple plan he starts with before building up from there), things start to get very hairy."
** Given that he used to be a white-collar worker, Nate has a cynical view on Christmas, seeing it as nothing but corporate strategy and psychological manipulation.
** As a fellow good-aligned Chessmaster with a tendency to manipulate his own allies (for good reasons, of course), Nathan gets along with Dumbledore.
* Exclusive to Sophie:
** Due to her history as a grifter, not a lot of facts are known about Sophie's past.
** Is known to be a terrible actress when she's not grifting (apparently enough that Eliot thinks ''playing Russian Roulette'' is better than watching one of her plays. [[spoiler:Since her retirement, though, she's actually improved immensely.]]
** Sophie looks up to Scheherazade as one of the best grifters of her time, being able to save off execution for 1001 nights by telling stories to her husband until he fell in love to her for real. And in [[Recap/LeverageS03E04TheScheherazadeJob one of their jobs]], the technique was sort of used. Scheherazade is flattered and confused at this; she looked up what a grifter is, and she's sure she isn't one.
** Doesn't like being called a shrew.
* Exclusive to Eliot:
** Surprisingly, Eliot has what it takes to be a great guitarist and singer, and even got a fan base that resurfaced this fact despite his fame fading after the job. While he still knows how, it's not something he prefers to do often.
** [[Recap/LeverageS05E04TheFrenchConnectionJob Takes the cooking business seriously]] and despises those who don't do the same while screwing people over with business, those who say taste is overrated, or {{Evil Chef}}s in general.
** As a result, the House of Food sometimes calls him over as a pair of extra hands as well as to quell any chaos in the kitchen. He also went ballistic when he heard about the dreaded Mystery Food X.
** He also dislikes people who run cons on their own team, even if it's his own.
** [[{{Determinator}} It's borderline impossible]] (in human terms, at least) to keep Eliot down in a fight. It took being clocked in the head by a ''speeding tilt-a-whirl'' to knock him out, and even then he's back on his feet and fighting a few minutes later [[ArtisticLicenseMedicine when it really should've fractured his skull]].
** Apparently, he once fought an assassin in Damascus with a ''Nerf sword''. People want details on that sword fight, but he's not budging.
** He's not above [[WouldHitAGirl hitting girls]], but only when they hit him first.

** He's actually competent with electronics and technology, he just acts otherwise simply to aggravate Hardison.

** Surprisingly, Hardison actually has some talent in the violin back in his teenage years. The first time, he had to be subtly hypnotized to use it on a job. Due to some weird side-effects from the crew's ascension, he's retained that talent, though he's more comfortable as a hacker.

'''[[VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber Manny Pardo]], God of [[KillerCop Murderous Cops]]''' (The Cop, The Detective, [[SerialKiller The Miami Mutilator]])
* Demigod
* Symbol: His magnum and badge. Alternatively, [[DemonicDummy the Phantom's Head]].
* Theme Song: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UanV1ifs6tk Guided Meditation]]
* Alignment: LawfulNeutral on the surface, really a mix between ChaoticNeutral & NeutralEvil
* Portfolio: HardBoiledDetective, BadassNormal, [[TheGunslinger Emphasis on gunplay in his levels]], CowboyCop revealed to be KillerCop, GloryHound, SerialKiller, AttentionWhore, VillainProtagonist, Name RippedFromTheHeadlines, WildCard, [[MemeticMutation "I was born with thick skin"]], {{Pride}}, TheParanoiac, [[spoiler:[[KilledOffForReal Died]] [[NukeEm via nuke]]]]
* Domains: Detectives, Investigation, Attention, Sociopathy, Murder
* Allies: None. He's that paranoid and untrustworthy.
* Rivals: Other {{Serial Killer}}s and [[TheGunslinger Gunslingers]]
* Enemies: [[Pantheon/InvestigativeWork Naoto Shirogane]], [[Pantheon/{{Accessories}} Kyoko Kirigiri]], [[Pantheon/{{Legwear}} Chie Satonaka]], [[Pantheon/{{School}} Makoto Niijima]], [[Pantheon/{{Offspring}} Goro Akechi]], [[Pantheon/MusicalGenres Big Band]], [[Pantheon/{{Gameplay}} CJ]], [[Pantheon/AntiVillains Big Smoke]]
* Envies: '''[[Pantheon/{{Storytelling}} Jacket]]'''
* Distrusted by: The House of Pantheon/{{Crime}} and Pantheon/{{Justice}} (the former especially)
* Avoids: Living dummies, [[spoiler:Deities associated with nuclear weaponry]]
* In the Pantheon there's always something going on. From the Pantheonic Wars to the general drama between its denizens, there's a lot to cover. Overshadowed by the absurd escapades are a spree of {{Mook}} killings which progressively get more gruesome, often with messages in bloody writing from the killer themselves talking about how a third party had forced them. One comment by a jaded if a bit arrogant detective noted the killings are "a hopeless cry for attention in [[WorldOfWeirdness a place that's weird as it can get]]". It wasn't until a victim was found completely eviscerated in a closed cell within the House of Pantheon/{{Justice}} that the authorities decided to take action. Members from the House of Pantheon/{{Slaughter}} claim responsibility which convinced some, but investigations continued. More followed soon after, one mutilation in the House of Pantheon/{{Food}} and another in the House of Pantheon/{{Travel}}, both within rooms that aren't broken into. The traits of the killer are as follows: Someone who craves attention and who is capable of tricking people into letting them in.
** Looking over the facts, Kyoko Kirigiri connected it to the arrogant detective from before, who was suspiciously very interested in the mutilations. When looking over his history, this same detective was also notable for incompetency and misconduct along with gunning down gangsters occasionally. After bringing it up, authorities decided to try and track down this detective who was in the House of Pantheon/{{Crime}}, appearing to have been trying to hide. A shootout between the detective and the authorities would of followed soon after had not the Court of Gods intervened and decided to ascend the detective, for his actions a serial killer cop in here and back in '90s Miami. Manny Pardo aka the Miami Mutilator has ascended to the Pantheon.
*** Pardo revealed that he came to the Pantheon not long after the events that took place in Miami, which ended [[spoiler:with his death via nuking after barricading his own home in fear of being found out by the police]]. After that, he simply blended in with the Pantheon's police force and laid low until now. The killings were done for [[AttentionWhore attention]], but while his crimes went unnoticed in Miami [[TheBadGuyWins he got his wish]] within the Pantheon through deification.
* Pardo's in a bit of a weird spot due to his deification: As a KillerCop, he has a place within the House of Justice and the House of Crime. Much of the former's denizens really don't like him, considering him a disgrace to the badge but aren't willing to act unless he actually starts trouble. The latter doesn't consider him trustworthy either, since they know he's perfectly willing to off them if it means more fame and doesn't seem to be that type of corrupt officer. That said, Pardo sticks with gunning down criminals [[KnowWhenToFoldEm out of some paranoia of the more powerful deities here]], as much as he doesn't show it.
** [[Pantheon/JusticeIntermediateGods Robocop]] and [[Pantheon/JusticeLesserGods Commissioner Gordon]] have worked alongside him on occasion, though both men have little good to say about him. At the very least, that reputation of incompetency can disappear if given the chance, like storming into a hideout. But of course, Judge Dredd ''really'' doesn't like him. The fact that Pardo, of all people, has a place here really didn't sit well for the Judge.
--> "Not my fault you take so long to do your jobs. The Pantheon's just like Miami at the end of the day, so you have to act fast."
** Kirigiri, Chie, and Naoto outright voice their enmity towards the Detective with the latter being reminded of Adachi's actions (Adachi himself doesn't pay the Mutilator any mind, though). Pardo isn't exactly fond of the Former Ultimate Detective either considering he ruined his plots prior to ascension and considers Chie and Naoto a nuisance.
--> "I'm not your receptionist. If you have a problem, take it to the Protectors of Justice or the Court of Gods. It saves us both the trouble. Now get out of my face."
** That said, he watches his tongue around Makoto Niijima and Goro Akechi since both are perfectly capable of dealing with him through the Metaverse whether it's a Change of Heart or a Mental Shutdown. He just needs to divert the heat off of him somehow. Shouldn't be too hard, there's a lot of opportunities in this place. All he has to do is let them meet with some vile deity out here [[LetsYouAndHimFight and watch from there]].
** Considering Big Band almost got wasted by corrupt cops, he has nothing good to say about him either, though Manny clarified that at least he's more likely to gun down criminals than work with them. There was some indication he wanted to do something about the return of TheMafiya had [[spoiler:the Son not get high off his own product and destroy his gang and then himself]]. He'd sooner drop dead than be some thug's confidant.
** As someone who's all to familiar with corrupt cops given his experience with [[DirtyCop C.R.A.S.H.]], CJ has no sympathies for Pardo, and will not hesitate to cap him should he get the chance. The Detective just sees him as another punk, and ignores him should he stay out of his way.
* Why commit those murders for attention? Well, besides that it stems of envy from the Masked Killings or being cohered into doing so by [[DemonicDummy "them"]], there really isn't a shown motive as to why. For context, ''Richard'', an entity that's shown to be very analytical of any situation he's presented with, doesn't know why he did what he did. Manny has no intention of revealing anything. If it keeps a spotlight on him, he is under no obligation to put this mystery to bed.
** And speaking of "them", he avoids the Nestene Consciousness like the plague as well as any other dummy in the Pantheon. Doesn't matter who they are, he stays away. Similarly, he avoids [[spoiler:those associated with nuclear weaponry, or things similar to that]]. Though he's not necessarily a target that could warrant such wrath.
* Has a dim view on those who'd crave attention at all costs [[spoiler:as Tony found out the hard way, being gunned down despite surrendering]]. Pretty rich coming from a guy who [[{{Hypocrite}} desperately wanted for his case to be newsworthy]], which everyone brings up a lot, and it doesn't help he sometimes badgers the members of the House of Pantheon/InvestigativeWork to write about him. But don't expect him to admit to those flaws anytime soon. He's not on good terms with Big Smoke because of this, having fell to his own ambitions back in San Andreas.
--> "It's no surprise that's what happens to thugs like you. You never learn..."
** Regarding those individuals [[MemeticMutation imitating him]] and his AttentionWhore tendencies, though, he pays them no mind. Not even their insistence that he's still out to "catch" the Miami Mutilator. Some even go as far to say that ''all'' of the events back in his world went something [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6LGSpg1cEI like]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg_8WParteQ this]]. [[spoiler:Aside from that reminder of him being nuked]], he took it pretty well.
* "Been a stressful day. You wouldn't believe what they have me doing..."

* The 456 is a mysterious alien species first heard in 1965 through the radio, their name from the wavelength used. Possessing advanced medical knowledge, they would help cure an anti-virus for a price-human children. Later on they threatened to end humanity if 10% of their children weren't surrendered to them. For what reason do they abduct kids? To be used as drugs, recreational drugs to be precise. Their actions [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters inspire the darkest sides of humanity]], [[KnightOfCerebus and of the universe they come from]].
* Even in a universe where [[AbsoluteXenophobe Daleks]] and [[FateWorseThanDeath Cybermen]] exist, the ambassador representing the species is considered [[CompleteMonster exceptionally vile]]. This is due to his target of children, the lengths he's willing to go to get them and reason being as petty as using for drugs. The Doctor was horrified to learn something like this happened when he wasn't there. In addition Ood Sigma hates the 456 for exploiting people even worse than what humans did to the Ood. All his companions despise him, particularly [[Pantheon/NamingTheme Amy]] and [[Pantheon/TimeManipulation Rory]] given their daughter was stolen as an infant.
* Permanently banned from the House of Pantheon/{{Children}} with no hope of repeal, and rightfully despised by every human child. What's worse is that the children aren't just killed and cooked to serve as drugs, but harvested [[FateWorseThanDeath over a lifetime]]. And he's a drug dealer who uses his product. Only a handful of gods in the pantheon are morally depraved enough to use them. Even [[Pantheon/{{Consumption}} Jabba the Hutt]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards doesn't want to touch the product]] despite his criminal gluttony. Raiden utterly despises the 456 given his personal experience of stopping the illegal selling of children's brains.
* Horrifyingly enough the Coachman approached the Ambassador of the 456 for a deal. He sells him the kids he catches for riches. The ambassador was happy to do so, but wanted enough of the donkey-children so he could test the product. He found the fix from these kids an "acquired taste, but would sell well in a specific niche" then responded to the Coachman he wants him to help take more children for him due to being banned from the House of Pantheon/{{Children}}. Earning even more enmity from them.
* Black Doom respects the 456 for their desire to harvest human children. They don't apply much of a meal as grown humans for the Black Arms, and while he prefers to not mess with his head by doing drugs does think they'd be useful. Ragyo Kiryuin is completely willing to sell out human kids.
* Agent K and Agent J were disgusted with the lengths that the Ambassador went to for his fix, and the disaster that was trying to deal with him. As does Max Tennyson due to his despicable tastes, and being a grandfather. He has considered scamming [[Pantheon/MainHouse the SCP Foundation]] to get more kids, but has decided against it because he doesn't have a chance in hell of it working out for him. [[Pantheon/EvilActions SCP-993]] might help him out though.
* Most in the House of Crime consider him repellent, [[EvenEvilHasStandards even the evil deities]]. [[Pantheon/CriminalActions Walter White]] may be a ruthless drug dealer, but he's not going to subject kids to a FateWorseThanDeath. The Phantom Thieves of Heart hope to see him consumed with guilt after [[HeelFaceBrainwashing stealing his heart]]. Giorno Giovanna considers his drug dealing a thousand times worse than Diavolo.
* Was interested in Pennywise due to how he feeds off human children. While the 456 keeps the kids around for drugs, It eats kids while harvesting on their fears. It has never experienced a high, but felt the ability to harvest the chemicals of a child's brain scientifically may enhance the taste of kids. It made a deal with the Ambassador to mutually benefit of the suffering of humanity. Azazel is able to work with the 456 due to feeding children demon blood.
* Invariably disgusts Shido Itsuka and Link since they go after those who kidnap kids, and Ayato Amigiri and Lux Arcadia due to their child experimentation. Palpatine and the Borg Queen approve of their actions due to the fact they kidnap kids for their own purposes, though the believe they the 456 is lacking in ambition.
* Contacted through radio transmissions, his own name or name of his species being unknown. Communications in the pantheon are being checked to make sure he doesn't hijack it. The radio communications ended up in him getting in contact with the Blorg, who despite their friendliness were immediately horrified and disgusted by how he gets high.
* [[NothingIsScarier Due to little being known about the 456]], it's possible they lack the technology need to destroy humanity and were scamming humanity big-time. There is also the possibility that it was a solo mission, and he was like the Slitheen in being one bad egg in an otherwise moral species. [[FridgeHorror Most don't want to think about this]].

Naturally, this is the most criminally-active part of the House, with deities from the other Subhouses of Crime frequently coming here for potential targets. Gang wars for control of the local businesses happen constantly, with isolated criminal incidents being just as common due to the chaotic atmosphere. If things get really bad, select members of the House of Pantheon/{{Justice}} are granted permission to intervene.

[[folder:Edward Nigma/The Riddler]]
'''[[Franchise/{{Batman}} Edward Nigma]], God of [[CriminalMindGames Riddles]]''' ([[SpellMyNameWithAnS Edward Nygma]], ComicBook/TheRiddler)
[[quoteright:310:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the-riddler_1528.jpg]]
* Lesser God
* Symbol: A Question Mark
* Alignment: NeutralEvil
* Portfolio: ChronicVillainy, [[GentlemanThief Gentleman Thieves]], {{Tricksters}}, {{Idiosyncrazy}}, CriminalMindGames, [[SanityHasAdvantages Constant Self-Defeat]], InsufferableGenius.
* Domains: Evil, Crime, Puzzles.
* Followers: the Sphinx.
* Allies: [[Pantheon/{{Laughter}} The Joker]], Penguin, Catwoman.
* Opposed by: Batman, Professor Layton.
* Worthy Opponent: Near
* "Riddle me this: What goes on 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs at noon, and 3 legs in the evening?" Most of the gods just rolled their eyes at his reusing the riddle of the sphinx upon his ascension, but most of them cringed at his answer he gave: [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum "A baby that you cut the legs off of and then give a cane to go around on."]]
* The Riddler is constantly trying to prove himself smarter than Batman, the God of Planning. As a result, he continuously petitions to join the command division of the GUAE in order that his intellect might be better used. Melkor mostly rolls his eyes at this, saying that riddler is [[FatalFlaw too obsessed with riddles to create plans of no escape]].
* Despite being less powerful than his more crazy pal [[Pantheon/MainHouse Joker]], The riddler does hold one small bit of satisfaction over him: He still got to be more famous in [[Series/{{Batman}} that Adam West show]].
* Riddler loves to lord his intelligence over the house of mentalism, despite being only an intermediate god. Most of the greater gods just roll their eyes at him, and often call on Batman to shut him up if he ever gets too talkative. It's this reason he was demoted to Lesser God, merely out of annoyance.
* Riddler's outfit is always changing. Sometime's he's in a skin tight unitard with question marks on it. Sometimes he's in a green suit. Sometimes [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman he's got long hair and a more fluid costume]] and sometimes he has a combination of these things.
* Despite being a man not usually cut out for fighting hand to hand, the fact that he does have a great intellect makes dealing with him a bit trickier. Since one has to solve a puzzle to even find him, that can range from easy to [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries a near impossible treasure hunt]]. As such, while the GUAE finds him annoying, they do sometime call him in to [[Comicbook/KingdomCome double check their more recent plans]].
** Also, even though he's rarely won, Edward does like to point to several small triumphs he made such as [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries getting revenge on his employer]] or being the ManBehindTheMan for Batman when he first fought Hush.
* Doesn't particularly like it when others bring up the brief time he went straight as a private detective trying to solve crimes before Batman. Mostly because he never got the true satisfaction of beating Batman that way.
* Also, [[Series/{{Gotham}} doesn't really have a thing for love interests]]. His work is too all consuming for him to take that seriously.
* When he stumbled upon [[Pantheon/{{Personalities}} The Mask]] once, [[Creator/JimCarrey his antics]] [[Film/BatmanForever seemed kind of familiar]].
* One day, while observing the recently ascended Near, upon hearing how he also thinks that giving a real would ruin any fun in a game, he decided to experiment how smart Near was by sending him a riddle in a form of a pure-white puzzle with 200 pieces. The actual clue was written in invisible ink. To his surprise, Near solved it and appeared before him at 2 AM in front of Scrooge [=McDuck=]'s money vault, phoning in Batman with the Batman search signal. The deities refuse to let him live down the fact he was outsmarted by someone who could possibly not be able to walk.
** Despite this failure, he is determined to try and outsmart Near as well as Batman.

[[AC:Iniciando el protocolo Sombra]]
'''[[Videogame/{{Overwatch}} Sombra]], Goddess of [[EverythingIsOnline Hacking Anything]]''' ([[FanNickname Sombrero]], [[spoiler:Olivia Colomar]])
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sombra_portrait.png]]
* Lesser Goddess
* Symbol: A sugar skull.
* Alignment: Between NeutralEvil and ChaoticNeutral
* Portfolio: AlternateRealityGame, ChildProdigy, ColorMotifs, ConfusionFu, TheCracker, DarkActionGirl, {{EMP}}, EnigmaticMinion, EvilTastesGood, FemmeFatalons, HiddenAgendaVillain, HitAndRunTactics, ManipulativeBitch, PragmaticVillainy, PurpleIsPowerful, TheSneakyGal, WildCard, [[CatchPhrase "Boop!"]]
* Domains: Hacking, Conspiracies, Technology, Blackmail
* Allies: [[Pantheon/ColoredOutfits Reaper]], [[Pantheon/{{Hunters}} Widowmaker]]
* Rivals: Aiden Pearce, [[Pantheon/OffensivePowers Laura Matsuda]], [[Pantheon/{{Hunters}} Scarface]], [[Pantheon/MentalismOther The Spy]]
* Enemies: '''Pantheon/{{Overwatch}} and its allies, the Pantheon/GUAGWhiteHats''', all Good-aligned robotic deities, all Pantheon/{{Digimon}} deities, Clu, [[Pantheon/{{Characterization}} Nora Valkyrie]], [[Pantheon/OtherPowers Rubick]], [[Pantheon/CombatMagic Harry Dresden]]
* Nobody knows who really Sombra is, but many heard of what she is capable. She is one of the best hackers of her world and that caught the attention of Talon, who recruited Sombra for their sinister schemes. Her identity and motivations are a complete mystery, but there have been rumors that she is looking to uncover a big conspiracy that has been acting behind the scenes and is behind a lot of events in the world of Overwatch.
* Sombra's knowledges of her world's technology plus the augmentations she underwent to get better at hacking has made her able to hack pretty much anything. Her hacks are strong enough to disable [=McCree=]'s ability to roll or make Soldier:76 unable to run… or even allow Junkrat to lay his explosives or Roadhog to toss his hook. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Now that's something nobody gets at all]], and [[Pantheon/BodyImages the duo]] are cross that she can somehow do that.
* Before she ascended, she left hints and clues about her whereabouts, teasing those who found them with countdowns and unhelpful messages. After a drawn out investigation (she actually made misleading hints that she's going to be in the Main House or something), Sombra relocated herself in the house of Technology without the Main House noticing but after a while they let her stay.
** Somebody once tried to decipher a code of hers that was supposedly caught in the sky and even made music out of it. She found that really funny.
* Very happy that her buddies Reaper and Widowmaker are already here. Unlike her, they are not so thrilled about her but they have no choice but to deal with her. After all, it doesn't hurt to have another member of Talon.
* Sombra likes to take a more subtle approach when it comes to combat, and thanks to her Thermoptic Camo she is able to go around unnoticed. That's until the cloaking runs out, because she has a nasty habit of [[WithCatlikeTread announcing herself before attacking someone]]. Though thankfully she does this much less often as she did before.
** Many found her very similar to the Spy in terms of combat, but Sombra believes that the Spy's technology is outdated and can be easily seen through. Though she knows that turning her back on him can be a fatal mistake, so she is sure to never do that.
* She likes to annoy people by booping them in the nose, [[MemeticMutation and she does that a lot]]. On another note, Nora doesn't like her boops, mostly because it just very similar to hers but used in a trolly manner.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVmdjw3COwk There was one time that Sombra decided to mess with some of the Defenders of the Ancient]]. After a succession of weird and unusual events, Rubick stole her hack and somehow fixed everything. [[MakesAsMuchSenseInContext Don't ask]]
* Apparently, a few deities keep confusing her with Laura Matsuda given their similar haircuts. This made her curious about Laura for a few days…until they actually met. Sombra found the Brazilian fighter easy to relentlessly troll because of her friendly disposition and casually loose fashion sense, but overall, they are worlds apart both as fighters and as people and Sombra is content to let it stay that way.
* She is one of the few deities that has found her way into the Grid, [[http://i.imgur.com/NWgfndh.jpg?1 even having her own avatar there]]. Many virtual deities fear what she might do there and so have taken extra measures to keep her out, but she always finds a way to get in.
* Many robotic deities have openly opposed to Sombra not only because she is able to mess with their programming, but because she also able to use an {{EMP}} at any given time. This was one of the only reason why no on wanted her near the House of Pantheon/{{Technology}} but she sneaked her way in anyway. She even has a temple there.
* People like to call her Sombrero given her heritage. She doesn't find it that funny to be honest.
* Due to her first target being a somewhat corrupt corporation ([=LumeriCo=]) and having a rather affable personality, [[DracoInLeatherPants Sombra is often seen as some sort of anti-corporate freedom fighter that is on the same level of Lucio and his fight against Vishkar]]. Sombra just chuckled at that, they can think whatever they like about her, but she really have 'other' motivations unrelated to being anti-corporate (which might not even be her trait, just something made-up by those fools when they saw her striking against a corporation for different reasons), and maybe the day can come where she'll manipulate Lucio. But speaking of Vishkar, she kind of enjoys annoying its ace Symmetra by booping her on the nose when opportunity presents itself.
** Though she'll deny that the dirty secret of Lucio that she found out was that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLF-eQMBkGE he has a frog he named Beyonce.]] Nope, that's ''so'' not true.
* She dislikes Harry Dresden due to his [[WalkingTechbane magic damaging her technology]]. After her first attempt at messing with him resulted in her technology being almost destroyed, she keeps her distance.

'''[[Series/BreakingBad Walter White]], God of BetterLivingThroughEvil and [[CutLexLuthorACheck Using Knowledge for Crime]]''' (Mr. White, Heisenberg, The Cook, The One Who Knocks)
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/white_walter_h_7573.jpg]]
* Lesser God (but seeking the power of a Greater God)
* Symbol: A chemistry beaker with a piece of blue meth next to it.
* Theme Song: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlG9g14KMSU Baby Blue]]
* Alignment: NeutralEvil (formerly LawfulGood)
* Portfolio: [[BaldOfEvil Bald Villains]], [[BeardOfEvil Evil Beard]], [[CutLexLuthorACheck Using scientific knowledge for criminal purposes]], EvilGenius, being embittered by [[ThePeteBest missing out on his life's big chance]], [[{{Pride}} massive egoism]], being TooCleverByHalf, [[TookALevelInJerkass becoming less sympathetic over time]], {{Freudian Excuse}}s and [[MotiveDecay criminal justifications that break down over time]], JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, ProtagonistJourneyToVillain, [[BetterLivingThroughEvil turning to crime because it pays better]], [[JadedWashout those who feel unfairly treated by society]], [[InsufferableGenius intelligent people compelled to prove their superior intelligence and worth]], [[CutLexLuthorACheck using knowledge and abilities for evil]], [[BecauseImGoodAtIt choosing to do evil because it's what one is good at]], PrideBeforeAFall, FromNobodyToNightmare.
* Domain: Crime, Chemistry, Drugs (especially meth)
* Allies: Has a few uneasy alliances, most notably with Moriarty, but he hates feeling like a subordinate to anyone else and thus will tend to look for opportunities to betray, backstab, or [[TheStarscream wrest power from]] anyone who holds power over him. Between this and his [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish egoism]], he has alienated most of his potential allies.
* Enemies: Vimes, Sherlock Holmes, Omar Little, [[Pantheon/{{Sadness}} Rick]] [[Pantheon/HairPreference Grimes]], every Super-Hero in the Pantheon, all criminals that he feels are [[StupidCrooks too stupid or chaotic]] to DoWrongRight.
* High Priest: [[Series/TheWire Stringer Bell]].
* Ascended to the pantheon when his series concluded with record high ratings and near-unanimous critical praise, securing his legacy in television history. His unprecedentedly gradual and meticulous FaceHeelTurn took over six years, two in ComicBookTime.
* While he claims to only be in the game of crime for the sake of [[MoralityPet bettering the life of his family]], his raging ego has only increased since his ascension and he now demands respect and adulation from everyone around him.
* His behavior is unpredictable, going back and forth between [[ThePlan careful plotting]] and [[IdiotBall rash, ego driven action]]. Between this and his issues concerning other people controlling him, he is unpopular among many would-be allies.
* Is on the edge of declaring Omar Little his ArchEnemy, both because Omar keeps stealing his money and product and because Walter can't stand being defeated by someone he sees as an intellectual inferior.
* Very common for him to tell people to say his name. When people reply correctly, he only answers, "You're goddamn right."
* Since ascending, Walt has strangely begun to amass large piles of cash around his seat and bags of blue crystal meth have been sighted in the hands of departing visitors, making some wonder if Walt is up to his old schemes again.
* While his genius and piles of cash are of value to anyone wishing to make an ally of him, and he has no supernatural powers -- unlike so much of the pantheon -- Walt has a history of turning even the most powerful allies into corpses and securing their power for himself. Thus, many are hesitant to trust him, and those that do keep an eye on him at all times.
* Walt has been seen discretely leaving [[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} David Xanatos]]' chambers on occasion. When the two are questioned, Walt has feigned ignorance and Xanatos has said he just wants to get to know a fellow schemer he hasn't met before. Whether they're sizing each other up as enemies or concocting some sort of plan together, no one knows.
* While his family is still back on earth and has disowned him, Walt still tolerates no danger to them. Anyone who threatens them, regardless of power levels or alignment, will be considered a permanent enemy of his, and he will do everything in his power to destroy them.
* Also holds a spot in the [[Pantheon/{{Villains}} House of Villains]]. He is more respected there due to his extremely meticulous and unparalleled FaceHeelTurn.

* Once upon a time in the Pantheon, strange art had been plastered everywhere. Nobody knew where it came from or who had done it....That is, until Beat was caught in the act several days later. After evading capture for several days (during which he tagged the backs of anyone who tried to catch him), he was granted godhood. He doesn't care, though. He's just happy to leave his tags where he can while listening to sweet tunes.
* He's on extremely good terms with Sonic the Hedgehog, who is one of the few deities to understand his odd mentality (that is, valuing freedom above all else even if it makes him a villain). They sometimes even race, both on foot [[Videogame/SonicAndSegaAllStarsRacing and i]][[Videogame/SonicAndAllStarsRacingTransformed n vehicles]]. [[Videogame/ProjectM Sonic even once wore his clothes]]
** Metal Sonic is a point of contention for him. He once had to fight [[EvilKnockoff robotic clones]] of himself and so he really dislikes the Blue Blur's robotic doppelganger. He will lend his aid to the Blue Blur to take down Metal whenever he can. Same goes for Copy X, for the same reason.
** He is also on relatively good terms with other Creator/{{Sega}} deities such as Kiryu Kazuma, Gilius Thunderhead, Billy Hatcher, etc.
* Beat likes to spend all of his time not spent on going around spraying graffiti in the House of Music. He really enjoys listening in on all the great tunes and will just dance for hours on end if left to his own devices. Most of the deities there don't mind, they are even glad that he likes their music so much.
* Not to be confused with the other Beat, the one who thinks with his gut. They're not exactly friends but they aren't on bad terms either. This Beat is perfectly fine with that Beat, and that one is fine with this one so long as he stays away from his sister. They have a mutual understanding.
* He steers clear of the House of Justice, though most of those deities don't have too much problem with him in the first place and are even willing to overlook his criminal activity (since he usually doesn't hurt anyone). Inspector Javert and Carmelita are hell-bent on catching him and putting him behind bars. Stryker's willingness to use overwhelming force is not unlike Captains Onishima and Hayato (the [[{{Expy}} former of which]] Inspector Zenigata resembles).
** He has a very strained relationship with Axel, Adam and Blaze. This is due to the fact that they are fellow under-appreciated Creator/{{SEGA}} deities yet are on opposite sides of the law. They are more than willing to help in arresting him, but feel an uncomfortable kinship with him. Like Zenigat they're prone to overlooking his shenanigans in favor of focusing more on far worse criminal activities in the Pantheon.
* He holds a special animosity for all [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corrupt corporate suits]] and anyone who would destroy or otherwise suppress artistic liberty and expression. This love for individuality has inadvertently earned him the friendship of both Teams RWBY and JNPR.
** The ONLY corporate representative that he doesn't dislike and even outright respects is Segata Sanshiro. This is because if not for him, Beat's own existence would never have come to be and so he feels that he owes Sanshiro his life.
* Although he dislikes authority he is perfectly fine with being in charge, and so has been making strides to either reuniting or recreating the GG's in the Pantheon.
** The first person he attempted to recruit was Subaru Nakajima, due to her being the Goddess of Skates (something he knows all too well). She turned down his invitation, but offered him her support as an ally.
** The next individual he tried to recruit was not quite as forthcoming. Shadow the Hedgehog did not appreciate his aggressive approaches and so launched a Chaos Spear at him. Of course, Beat managed to dodge it and after an impromptu race/chase the Ultimate Lifeform declined his offer but agreed to an uneasy alliance.
** Eventually, his effects persevered thanks to a chance meeting with Lúcio. Beat heard of his DJ and skating life and how he uses music in the line of being a freedom fighter, and went to ask him if he wanted to become a member of the GG's. To Beat's surprise, not only did Lucio accepted the offer on the spot, but would later start promoting him as well as the Jet Set Radio music station through his own music. Due to this, Beat has since in return utilized frogs more often in his work as a symbol of freedom, and became the best of friends with Lucio. Symmetra could only just sigh and groan in annoyance at realizing there was someone else like Lucio in the pantheon. Some days while cleaning Beat's more complex graffiti off her temple she wishes he would just try to steal from her.

* CommonalityConnection with: [[Pantheon/TeamFortress2 The Mercanaries of Mann Co.]].
* Enemies: Moriarty, Most of the evil members of the House of Justice, [[Pantheon/{{Laughter}} The Joker]] (PAYDAY crew), the entirety of the House of Commerce (for obvious reasons), [[Pantheon/{{Weapons}} Marcus Kincaid]] (Trevor), [[Pantheon/{{Technology}} Freddy Fazbear]], Basically anyone whom they rip off.
* Initially, the PAYDAY crew ascended to the position after their recent crime spree across America (including breaking into the skyscraper of the Garnet company and robbing the First World Bank) made waves among the Pantheon. However, the trio from Los Santos would go on to challenge the crew for their positions, after their own spree (which included hitting armored convoys, the headquarters of the FIB and the San Andreas Union Depository.) Eventually, Haruhi-sama declared that the two competing crews would pull off a simultaneous heist on a target of her own choosing. The exact details of the heist are unknown, but Haruhi, after tasking the story to be placed in the Tales of the Pantheon, decided to name both crews co-deities. Of course, these career criminals knew better than to oppose Haruhi's decisions and accepted their uneasy alliance.
* Despite only being assembled for heists, the guys have develop a close sense of camaraderie and trust in each other, almost in the same manner as the [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Green Flu survivors]] and [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} The Investigation Team.]] This does not stop each of them from taking "additional cuts" from their heists. [[MoneyDearBoy Money is indeed the reason why they have banded together, after all.]]
* Aside from being trained marksmen, both crews tend to take extraordinary measures in performing heists. For instance, when tasked to steal money from a panic room, the PAYDAY crew (instead of prying the door open or hacking the console) detached the room from the building and proceeded to carry the room away via helicopter. Michael's crew on the other hand managed to steal a bullion of gold more than $200 million from the San Andreas Union Depository.
* The PAYDAY crew's MissionControl Bain is the one who creates the crazy plans the crew carries out in the field, as well as [[XanatosSpeedChess improvising a new one should things go awry]], and is capable of bailing out the team within mere days (even if they've managed to kill thousands of cops in their failure). On the other hand, Michael and Trevor's old associate Lester Crest plans out their heists, planning locations of enforcers and back-up drivers in case the crew decides to play it loud or smart.
* [[PragmaticVillainy By no means do the team actively hurt civilians during their heists.]] This can be attributed to either their [[NobleDemon moral code]] or the fact that they get a pay cut in the end. While at the very least Michael and Franklin refrain from hurting innocents as well, [[AxCrazy Trevor,]] [[MoralEventHorizon on the other hand...]]
* Supposedly, a plan is in motion to have the two crews fight it out in a WebAnimation/DeathBattle with Wiz, Boomstick and Haruhi plotting to have both crews hit a bank simultaneously, causing them to fight in the process. Upon learning of this rumor, all of the guys decided to laugh it off before realizing that the money would be good if Haruhi was willing to pay up. Plus it'd help give Wolf and Trevor an avenue to settle a quick score of who is the more capable combatant.
* Due to their bonding through same goals and long-term works, they have been seen talking with Mann Co's mercenaries as both teams have known similarities. One that stands out is that both teams have evolved into FireForgedFriends.
* Exclusive to the PAYDAY crew:
** The PAYDAY crew refuses to work with (moreso under) The Joker, having been aware of the last crew of clown-faced robbers [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness that served under him.]] This has put the crew on Mr. J's shit list, with the Crown Prince of Crime having attempted to kill them time and time again.
** Recently raided [[VideoGame/Left4Dead the Mercy Hospital]] in a heist for infected blood, where they met a Vietnam veteran named Bill. Not too long afterwards, a zombie outbreak ravaged said location.
** Have resurfaced in Washington D.C. for another crime spree. Due to having either retired or being caught by the police, Hoxton and Chains are succeeded by new members who [[LegacyCharacter have assumed their codenames and masks.]]
*** At least until the original Hoxton returned and re-ascended. The new Hoxton was allowed to keep the mask, but had to change his codename to Houston to keep Hoxton from "beating the living shit out of him".
** Aside from their heists, each of the team members have their own agendas around the Pantheon. Dallas finds himself doing business with some of the other members of the Pantheon, mainly to sell off stolen goods. Houston can sometimes be found wandering the House of Love, or competing with other thieves, like [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Zidane Tribal.]] Wolf's tendencies to live out his favorite action films puts him in contention with some of the other fight-happy deities. Chains provides mercenary work for some extra dough.
** Will take on any contract and fight anyone [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu (including gods and demons)]], provided that the payoff is big. Their ability to survive almost anything is thanks to the provisions and planning done beforehand between themselves and Bain. Recently, they stormed the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Imperial City of Cyrodiil]] to steal an Elder Scroll and the Infinity Gauntlet from ComicBook/{{Thanos}}. Currently, they are after the most valuable [[{{Pantheon/Treasures}} treasure]] in the Pantheon: [[{{TabletopGame/Exalted}} The Games of Divinity.]] Only time will tell if they succeed.
** Once, the PAYDAY crew threw down the gauntlet and succeeded in stealing several items from the Treasures of the Pantheon: [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal the Sweet Tooth truck,]] [[VideoGame/BlazBlue the Nox Nyctores]] [[note]]Only four of them, as the other 6+1 copy are held by different gods in the Pantheon (Take-Mikazuchi by Dallas, Nirvana by Chains, Musashi by Wolf, and MuchÅrin by Houston)[[/note]], [[LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana the Reiji Maigo]], [[VideoGame/{{Doom}} The BFG-9000,]] [[LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex Index Librorum Prohibitorum,]] [[Literature/LordOfTheRings The One Ring,]] [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk The Ark of the Covenant]] and [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros the Smash Ball.]] The crew was eventually forced to return the items, but many deities found themselves impressed with the crew's plan, which included saws, [[VideoGame/MetalGear cardboard boxes]], [[{{Superman}} Kryptonite]], [[Film/TheDarkKnightSaga schoolbuses]], and the Smash Ball itself.
** The crew has gotten bigger over the past few months: aside from the return of the original Hoxton, they acquired the services of several more career criminals... including the legendary hitman, JohnWick. Many gods fear this mortal, and for good reason.
*** Unfortunately, their nightmares became true when [[Pantheon/CrimeLesserGods John Wick's]] ascension occurred. Due to this, most people of the House of Commerce are wary not to get into the Crew's bad side.
** Getting bored of battling law enforcement, the PAYDAY Crew once decided to raid a decidedly different sort of target: Freddy Fazbear's pizzaria. While they didn't expect much of a score from the establishment, the prospect of fighting TheDreaded animatronics [[ItAmusedMe seemed like a fun idea.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpulBjE4KGI The heist was...eventful to say the least,]] and was captured on the security cameras for posterity.
* Exclusive to the Los Santos crew:
** Trevor's BloodKnight tendencies have made waves amongst the Pantheon. He has attracted the attention of the Crawling Chaos himself, Nyarlathotep, who sought to harness Mr. Phillips' rage for his own. Trevor's response? [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu Flipping the bird.]]
** Trevor's [[AnEntrepreneurIsYou company]], Trevor Phillips [[InsistentTerminology Industries/Enteprises/Corporation/basically anything that sounds important]], is currently competing against [[Pantheon/RangedWeapons Marcus Kincaid's]] own Marcus Munitions. There is some bad blood between the two, probably hailing from the fact that Trevor was denied the ability to break into the arms race on Pandora.
** None of the fellows seem to be too fond of the 3rd Street Saints, Michael in particular. While this could be attributed to a brief MushroomSamba involving a [[TakeThat purple haze and aliens]], he claims that he is [[FollowTheLeader just]] [[DuelingGames wary]] of the gang's actions.
** Franklin, along with other BadassDriver deities and associates (such as [[Pantheon/{{Travel}} Speed Racer, Takumi Fujiwara, Dominic Toretto and Captain Falcon]]) are planning to create a racing league for the members of the Pantheon to buy in.
** Michael is a very fierce PapaWolf to his children Tracey and Jimmy, and will tear through ''anyone'' to protect his children. This also extends to [[TheMentor his proteges]] or anybody whom he considers to be like his own children, including [[LikeASonToMe Franklin]]. Even [[Pantheon/{{War}} Kratos]] and [[Pantheon/{{Combat}} Asura]], two of the more vengeful gods in the Pantheon, give Michael their blessings to go crazy when his kids are threatened.
** Recently, the trio have agreed to cease their "practices of capitalism" following their clashes with CorruptCorporateExecutive Devin Weston and [[DirtyCop Dirty FIB Agent]] Steve Haines, but have promised to return when the scores become bigger.
** Trevor's attempts to break into the meth business puts him in contention with none other than [[RedBaron Heisenberg]] himself, Walter White. Now, he waits for the day where he can gloat about destroying everything Walt has created before his cancer deals the final blow.
** Michael can often be found with a good friend of his, [[Pantheon/NarrativeLesserGods Max Payne]]. It's been said that Max himself taught Michael everything he knows about marksmanship. He is also allies with the cowboy [[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption John Marston]], who sympathizes with Michael's desire to be a good father and staying out of the life of crime despite circumstances.
** Recently offered Niko Bellic the chance to join them in the next Big score as a gunman, [[Videogame/GrandTheftAutoIV given his involvement in the robbery of the Liberty City Bank]]. Niko unfortunately declined, citing that he has long abandoned his Criminal Career.

[[folder:Edward Nigma/The Riddler]]
'''[[Franchise/{{Batman}} Edward Nigma]], God of [[CriminalMindGames Riddles]]''' ([[SpellMyNameWithAnS Edward Nygma]], ComicBook/TheRiddler)
[[quoteright:310:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the-riddler_1528.jpg]]
* Lesser God
* Symbol: A Question Mark
* Alignment: NeutralEvil
* Portfolio: ChronicVillainy, [[GentlemanThief Gentleman Thieves]], {{Tricksters}}, {{Idiosyncrazy}}, CriminalMindGames, [[SanityHasAdvantages Constant Self-Defeat]], InsufferableGenius.
* Domains: Evil, Crime, Puzzles.
* Followers: the Sphinx.
* Allies: [[Pantheon/{{Laughter}} The Joker]], Penguin, Catwoman.
* Opposed by: Batman, Professor Layton.
* Worthy Opponent: Near
* "Riddle me this: What goes on 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs at noon, and 3 legs in the evening?" Most of the gods just rolled their eyes at his reusing the riddle of the sphinx upon his ascension, but most of them cringed at his answer he gave: [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum "A baby that you cut the legs off of and then give a cane to go around on."]]
* The Riddler is constantly trying to prove himself smarter than Batman, the God of Planning. As a result, he continuously petitions to join the command division of the GUAE in order that his intellect might be better used. Melkor mostly rolls his eyes at this, saying that riddler is [[FatalFlaw too obsessed with riddles to create plans of no escape]].
* Despite being less powerful than his more crazy pal [[Pantheon/MainHouse Joker]], The riddler does hold one small bit of satisfaction over him: He still got to be more famous in [[Series/{{Batman}} that Adam West show]].
* Riddler loves to lord his intelligence over the house of mentalism, despite being only an intermediate god. Most of the greater gods just roll their eyes at him, and often call on Batman to shut him up if he ever gets too talkative. It's this reason he was demoted to Lesser God, merely out of annoyance.
* Riddler's outfit is always changing. Sometime's he's in a skin tight unitard with question marks on it. Sometimes he's in a green suit. Sometimes [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman he's got long hair and a more fluid costume]] and sometimes he has a combination of these things.
* Despite being a man not usually cut out for fighting hand to hand, the fact that he does have a great intellect makes dealing with him a bit trickier. Since one has to solve a puzzle to even find him, that can range from easy to [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries a near impossible treasure hunt]]. As such, while the GUAE finds him annoying, they do sometime call him in to [[Comicbook/KingdomCome double check their more recent plans]].
** Also, even though he's rarely won, Edward does like to point to several small triumphs he made such as [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries getting revenge on his employer]] or being the ManBehindTheMan for Batman when he first fought Hush.
* Doesn't particularly like it when others bring up the brief time he went straight as a private detective trying to solve crimes before Batman. Mostly because he never got the true satisfaction of beating Batman that way.
* Also, [[Series/{{Gotham}} doesn't really have a thing for love interests]]. His work is too all consuming for him to take that seriously.
* When he stumbled upon [[Pantheon/{{Personalities}} The Mask]] once, [[Creator/JimCarrey his antics]] [[Film/BatmanForever seemed kind of familiar]].
* One day, while observing the recently ascended Near, upon hearing how he also thinks that giving a real would ruin any fun in a game, he decided to experiment how smart Near was by sending him a riddle in a form of a pure-white puzzle with 200 pieces. The actual clue was written in invisible ink. To his surprise, Near solved it and appeared before him at 2 AM in front of Scrooge [=McDuck=]'s money vault, phoning in Batman with the Batman search signal. The deities refuse to let him live down the fact he was outsmarted by someone who could possibly not be able to walk.
** Despite this failure, he is determined to try and outsmart Near as well as Batman.

[[folder:Sombra]]
[[AC:Iniciando el protocolo Sombra]]
'''[[Videogame/{{Overwatch}} Sombra]], Goddess of [[EverythingIsOnline Hacking Anything]]''' ([[FanNickname Sombrero]], [[spoiler:Olivia Colomar]])
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sombra_portrait.png]]
* Lesser Goddess
* Symbol: A sugar skull.
* Alignment: Between NeutralEvil and ChaoticNeutral
* Portfolio: AlternateRealityGame, ChildProdigy, ColorMotifs, ConfusionFu, TheCracker, DarkActionGirl, {{EMP}}, EnigmaticMinion, EvilTastesGood, FemmeFatalons, HiddenAgendaVillain, HitAndRunTactics, ManipulativeBitch, PragmaticVillainy, PurpleIsPowerful, TheSneakyGal, WildCard, [[CatchPhrase "Boop!"]]
* Domains: Hacking, Conspiracies, Technology, Blackmail
* Allies: [[Pantheon/ColoredOutfits Reaper]], [[Pantheon/{{Hunters}} Widowmaker]]
* Rivals: Aiden Pearce, [[Pantheon/OffensivePowers Laura Matsuda]], [[Pantheon/{{Hunters}} Scarface]], [[Pantheon/MentalismOther The Spy]]
* Enemies: '''Pantheon/{{Overwatch}} and its allies, the Pantheon/GUAGWhiteHats''', all Good-aligned robotic deities, all Pantheon/{{Digimon}} deities, Clu, [[Pantheon/{{Characterization}} Nora Valkyrie]], [[Pantheon/OtherPowers Rubick]], [[Pantheon/CombatMagic Harry Dresden]]
* Nobody knows who really Sombra is, but many heard of what she is capable. She is one of the best hackers of her world and that caught the attention of Talon, who recruited Sombra for their sinister schemes. Her identity and motivations are a complete mystery, but there have been rumors that she is looking to uncover a big conspiracy that has been acting behind the scenes and is behind a lot of events in the world of Overwatch.
* Sombra's knowledges of her world's technology plus the augmentations she underwent to get better at hacking has made her able to hack pretty much anything. Her hacks are strong enough to disable [=McCree=]'s ability to roll or make Soldier:76 unable to run… or even allow Junkrat to lay his explosives or Roadhog to toss his hook. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Now that's something nobody gets at all]], and [[Pantheon/BodyImages the duo]] are cross that she can somehow do that.
* Before she ascended, she left hints and clues about her whereabouts, teasing those who found them with countdowns and unhelpful messages. After a drawn out investigation (she actually made misleading hints that she's going to be in the Main House or something), Sombra relocated herself in the house of Technology without the Main House noticing but after a while they let her stay.
** Somebody once tried to decipher a code of hers that was supposedly caught in the sky and even made music out of it. She found that really funny.
* Very happy that her buddies Reaper and Widowmaker are already here. Unlike her, they are not so thrilled about her but they have no choice but to deal with her. After all, it doesn't hurt to have another member of Talon.
* Sombra likes to take a more subtle approach when it comes to combat, and thanks to her Thermoptic Camo she is able to go around unnoticed. That's until the cloaking runs out, because she has a nasty habit of [[WithCatlikeTread announcing herself before attacking someone]]. Though thankfully she does this much less often as she did before.
** Many found her very similar to the Spy in terms of combat, but Sombra believes that the Spy's technology is outdated and can be easily seen through. Though she knows that turning her back on him can be a fatal mistake, so she is sure to never do that.
* She likes to annoy people by booping them in the nose, [[MemeticMutation and she does that a lot]]. On another note, Nora doesn't like her boops, mostly because it just very similar to hers but used in a trolly manner.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVmdjw3COwk There was one time that Sombra decided to mess with some of the Defenders of the Ancient]]. After a succession of weird and unusual events, Rubick stole her hack and somehow fixed everything. [[MakesAsMuchSenseInContext Don't ask]]
* Apparently, a few deities keep confusing her with Laura Matsuda given their similar haircuts. This made her curious about Laura for a few days…until they actually met. Sombra found the Brazilian fighter easy to relentlessly troll because of her friendly disposition and casually loose fashion sense, but overall, they are worlds apart both as fighters and as people and Sombra is content to let it stay that way.
* She is one of the few deities that has found her way into the Grid, [[http://i.imgur.com/NWgfndh.jpg?1 even having her own avatar there]]. Many virtual deities fear what she might do there and so have taken extra measures to keep her out, but she always finds a way to get in.
* Many robotic deities have openly opposed to Sombra not only because she is able to mess with their programming, but because she also able to use an {{EMP}} at any given time. This was one of the only reason why no on wanted her near the House of Pantheon/{{Technology}} but she sneaked her way in anyway. She even has a temple there.
* People like to call her Sombrero given her heritage. She doesn't find it that funny to be honest.
* Due to her first target being a somewhat corrupt corporation ([=LumeriCo=]) and having a rather affable personality, [[DracoInLeatherPants Sombra is often seen as some sort of anti-corporate freedom fighter that is on the same level of Lucio and his fight against Vishkar]]. Sombra just chuckled at that, they can think whatever they like about her, but she really have 'other' motivations unrelated to being anti-corporate (which might not even be her trait, just something made-up by those fools when they saw her striking against a corporation for different reasons), and maybe the day can come where she'll manipulate Lucio. But speaking of Vishkar, she kind of enjoys annoying its ace Symmetra by booping her on the nose when opportunity presents itself.
** Though she'll deny that the dirty secret of Lucio that she found out was that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLF-eQMBkGE he has a frog he named Beyonce.]] Nope, that's ''so'' not true.
* She dislikes Harry Dresden due to his [[WalkingTechbane magic damaging her technology]]. After her first attempt at messing with him resulted in her technology being almost destroyed, she keeps her distance.
* ''"[[EverythingIsOnline Everything can be hacked...and everyone.]]"''

[[folder:Walter White]]
'''[[Series/BreakingBad Walter White]], God of BetterLivingThroughEvil and [[CutLexLuthorACheck Using Knowledge for Crime]]''' (Mr. White, Heisenberg, The Cook, The One Who Knocks)
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/white_walter_h_7573.jpg]]
* Lesser God (but seeking the power of a Greater God)
* Symbol: A chemistry beaker with a piece of blue meth next to it.
* Theme Song: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlG9g14KMSU Baby Blue]]
* Alignment: NeutralEvil (formerly LawfulGood)
* Portfolio: [[BaldOfEvil Bald Villains]], [[BeardOfEvil Evil Beard]], [[CutLexLuthorACheck Using scientific knowledge for criminal purposes]], EvilGenius, being embittered by [[ThePeteBest missing out on his life's big chance]], [[{{Pride}} massive egoism]], being TooCleverByHalf, [[TookALevelInJerkass becoming less sympathetic over time]], {{Freudian Excuse}}s and [[MotiveDecay criminal justifications that break down over time]], JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, ProtagonistJourneyToVillain, [[BetterLivingThroughEvil turning to crime because it pays better]], [[JadedWashout those who feel unfairly treated by society]], [[InsufferableGenius intelligent people compelled to prove their superior intelligence and worth]], [[CutLexLuthorACheck using knowledge and abilities for evil]], [[BecauseImGoodAtIt choosing to do evil because it's what one is good at]], PrideBeforeAFall, FromNobodyToNightmare.
* Domain: Crime, Chemistry, Drugs (especially meth)
* Allies: Has a few uneasy alliances, most notably with Moriarty, but he hates feeling like a subordinate to anyone else and thus will tend to look for opportunities to betray, backstab, or [[TheStarscream wrest power from]] anyone who holds power over him. Between this and his [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish egoism]], he has alienated most of his potential allies.
* Enemies: Vimes, Sherlock Holmes, Omar Little, [[Pantheon/{{Sadness}} Rick]] [[Pantheon/HairPreference Grimes]], every Super-Hero in the Pantheon, all criminals that he feels are [[StupidCrooks too stupid or chaotic]] to DoWrongRight.
* High Priest: [[Series/TheWire Stringer Bell]].
* Ascended to the pantheon when his series concluded with record high ratings and near-unanimous critical praise, securing his legacy in television history. His unprecedentedly gradual and meticulous FaceHeelTurn took over six years, two in ComicBookTime.
* While he claims to only be in the game of crime for the sake of [[MoralityPet bettering the life of his family]], his raging ego has only increased since his ascension and he now demands respect and adulation from everyone around him.
* His behavior is unpredictable, going back and forth between [[ThePlan careful plotting]] and [[IdiotBall rash, ego driven action]]. Between this and his issues concerning other people controlling him, he is unpopular among many would-be allies.
* Is on the edge of declaring Omar Little his ArchEnemy, both because Omar keeps stealing his money and product and because Walter can't stand being defeated by someone he sees as an intellectual inferior.
* Very common for him to tell people to say his name. When people reply correctly, he only answers, "You're goddamn right."
* Since ascending, Walt has strangely begun to amass large piles of cash around his seat and bags of blue crystal meth have been sighted in the hands of departing visitors, making some wonder if Walt is up to his old schemes again.
* While his genius and piles of cash are of value to anyone wishing to make an ally of him, and he has no supernatural powers -- unlike so much of the pantheon -- Walt has a history of turning even the most powerful allies into corpses and securing their power for himself. Thus, many are hesitant to trust him, and those that do keep an eye on him at all times.
* Walt has been seen discretely leaving [[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} David Xanatos]]' chambers on occasion. When the two are questioned, Walt has feigned ignorance and Xanatos has said he just wants to get to know a fellow schemer he hasn't met before. Whether they're sizing each other up as enemies or concocting some sort of plan together, no one knows.
* While his family is still back on earth and has disowned him, Walt still tolerates no danger to them. Anyone who threatens them, regardless of power levels or alignment, will be considered a permanent enemy of his, and he will do everything in his power to destroy them.
* Also holds a spot in the [[Pantheon/{{Villains}} House of Villains]]. He is more respected there due to his extremely meticulous and unparalleled FaceHeelTurn.

* Once upon a time in the Pantheon, strange art had been plastered everywhere. Nobody knew where it came from or who had done it....That is, until Beat was caught in the act several days later. After evading capture for several days (during which he tagged the backs of anyone who tried to catch him), he was granted godhood. He doesn't care, though. He's just happy to leave his tags where he can while listening to sweet tunes.
* He's on extremely good terms with Sonic the Hedgehog, who is one of the few deities to understand his odd mentality (that is, valuing freedom above all else even if it makes him a villain). They sometimes even race, both on foot [[Videogame/SonicAndSegaAllStarsRacing and i]][[Videogame/SonicAndAllStarsRacingTransformed n vehicles]]. [[Videogame/ProjectM Sonic even once wore his clothes]]
** Metal Sonic is a point of contention for him. He once had to fight [[EvilKnockoff robotic clones]] of himself and so he really dislikes the Blue Blur's robotic doppelganger. He will lend his aid to the Blue Blur to take down Metal whenever he can. Same goes for Copy X, for the same reason.
** He is also on relatively good terms with other Creator/{{Sega}} deities such as Kiryu Kazuma, Gilius Thunderhead, Billy Hatcher, etc.
* Beat likes to spend all of his time not spent on going around spraying graffiti in the House of Music. He really enjoys listening in on all the great tunes and will just dance for hours on end if left to his own devices. Most of the deities there don't mind, they are even glad that he likes their music so much.
* Not to be confused with the other Beat, the one who thinks with his gut. They're not exactly friends but they aren't on bad terms either. This Beat is perfectly fine with that Beat, and that one is fine with this one so long as he stays away from his sister. They have a mutual understanding.
* He steers clear of the House of Justice, though most of those deities don't have too much problem with him in the first place and are even willing to overlook his criminal activity (since he usually doesn't hurt anyone). Inspector Javert and Carmelita are hell-bent on catching him and putting him behind bars. Stryker's willingness to use overwhelming force is not unlike Captains Onishima and Hayato (the [[{{Expy}} former of which]] Inspector Zenigata resembles).
** He has a very strained relationship with Axel, Adam and Blaze. This is due to the fact that they are fellow under-appreciated Creator/{{SEGA}} deities yet are on opposite sides of the law. They are more than willing to help in arresting him, but feel an uncomfortable kinship with him. Like Zenigat they're prone to overlooking his shenanigans in favor of focusing more on far worse criminal activities in the Pantheon.
* He holds a special animosity for all [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corrupt corporate suits]] and anyone who would destroy or otherwise suppress artistic liberty and expression. This love for individuality has inadvertently earned him the friendship of both Teams RWBY and JNPR.
** The ONLY corporate representative that he doesn't dislike and even outright respects is Segata Sanshiro. This is because if not for him, Beat's own existence would never have come to be and so he feels that he owes Sanshiro his life.
* Although he dislikes authority he is perfectly fine with being in charge, and so has been making strides to either reuniting or recreating the GG's in the Pantheon.
** The first person he attempted to recruit was Subaru Nakajima, due to her being the Goddess of Skates (something he knows all too well). She turned down his invitation, but offered him her support as an ally.
** The next individual he tried to recruit was not quite as forthcoming. Shadow the Hedgehog did not appreciate his aggressive approaches and so launched a Chaos Spear at him. Of course, Beat managed to dodge it and after an impromptu race/chase the Ultimate Lifeform declined his offer but agreed to an uneasy alliance.
** Eventually, his effects persevered thanks to a chance meeting with Lúcio. Beat heard of his DJ and skating life and how he uses music in the line of being a freedom fighter, and went to ask him if he wanted to become a member of the GG's. To Beat's surprise, not only did Lucio accepted the offer on the spot, but would later start promoting him as well as the Jet Set Radio music station through his own music. Due to this, Beat has since in return utilized frogs more often in his work as a symbol of freedom, and became the best of friends with Lucio. Symmetra could only just sigh and groan in annoyance at realizing there was someone else like Lucio in the pantheon. Some days while cleaning Beat's more complex graffiti off her temple she wishes he would just try to steal from her.

* Initially, the PAYDAY crew ascended to the position after their recent crime spree across America (including breaking into the skyscraper of the Garnet company and robbing the First World Bank) made waves among the Pantheon. However, the trio from Los Santos would go on to challenge the crew for their positions, after their own spree (which included hitting armored convoys, the headquarters of the FIB and the San Andreas Union Depository.) Eventually, Haruhi-sama declared that the two competing crews would pull off a simultaneous heist on a target of her own choosing. The exact details of the heist are unknown, but Haruhi, after tasking the story to be placed in the Tales of the Pantheon, decided to name both crews co-deities. Of course, these career criminals knew better than to oppose Haruhi's decisions and accepted their uneasy alliance.
* Despite only being assembled for heists, the guys have develop a close sense of camaraderie and trust in each other, almost in the same manner as the [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Green Flu survivors]] and [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} The Investigation Team.]] This does not stop each of them from taking "additional cuts" from their heists. [[MoneyDearBoy Money is indeed the reason why they have banded together, after all.]]
* Aside from being trained marksmen, both crews tend to take extraordinary measures in performing heists. For instance, when tasked to steal money from a panic room, the PAYDAY crew (instead of prying the door open or hacking the console) detached the room from the building and proceeded to carry the room away via helicopter. Michael's crew on the other hand managed to steal a bullion of gold more than $200 million from the San Andreas Union Depository.
* The PAYDAY crew's MissionControl Bain is the one who creates the crazy plans the crew carries out in the field, as well as [[XanatosSpeedChess improvising a new one should things go awry]], and is capable of bailing out the team within mere days (even if they've managed to kill thousands of cops in their failure). On the other hand, Michael and Trevor's old associate Lester Crest plans out their heists, planning locations of enforcers and back-up drivers in case the crew decides to play it loud or smart.
* [[PragmaticVillainy By no means do the team actively hurt civilians during their heists.]] This can be attributed to either their [[NobleDemon moral code]] or the fact that they get a pay cut in the end. While at the very least Michael and Franklin refrain from hurting innocents as well, [[AxCrazy Trevor,]] [[MoralEventHorizon on the other hand...]]
* Supposedly, a plan is in motion to have the two crews fight it out in a WebAnimation/DeathBattle with Wiz, Boomstick and Haruhi plotting to have both crews hit a bank simultaneously, causing them to fight in the process. Upon learning of this rumor, all of the guys decided to laugh it off before realizing that the money would be good if Haruhi was willing to pay up. Plus it'd help give Wolf and Trevor an avenue to settle a quick score of who is the more capable combatant.
* Due to their bonding through same goals and long-term works, they have been seen talking with Mann Co's mercenaries as both teams have known similarities. One that stands out is that both teams have evolved into FireForgedFriends.
* Exclusive to the PAYDAY crew:
** The PAYDAY crew refuses to work with (moreso under) The Joker, having been aware of the last crew of clown-faced robbers [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness that served under him.]] This has put the crew on Mr. J's shit list, with the Crown Prince of Crime having attempted to kill them time and time again.
** Recently raided [[VideoGame/Left4Dead the Mercy Hospital]] in a heist for infected blood, where they met a Vietnam veteran named Bill. Not too long afterwards, a zombie outbreak ravaged said location.
** Have resurfaced in Washington D.C. for another crime spree. Due to having either retired or being caught by the police, Hoxton and Chains are succeeded by new members who [[LegacyCharacter have assumed their codenames and masks.]]
*** At least until the original Hoxton returned and re-ascended. The new Hoxton was allowed to keep the mask, but had to change his codename to Houston to keep Hoxton from "beating the living shit out of him".
** Aside from their heists, each of the team members have their own agendas around the Pantheon. Dallas finds himself doing business with some of the other members of the Pantheon, mainly to sell off stolen goods. Houston can sometimes be found wandering the House of Love, or competing with other thieves, like [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Zidane Tribal.]] Wolf's tendencies to live out his favorite action films puts him in contention with some of the other fight-happy deities. Chains provides mercenary work for some extra dough.
** Will take on any contract and fight anyone [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu (including gods and demons)]], provided that the payoff is big. Their ability to survive almost anything is thanks to the provisions and planning done beforehand between themselves and Bain. Recently, they stormed the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Imperial City of Cyrodiil]] to steal an Elder Scroll and the Infinity Gauntlet from ComicBook/{{Thanos}}. Currently, they are after the most valuable [[{{Pantheon/Treasures}} treasure]] in the Pantheon: [[{{TabletopGame/Exalted}} The Games of Divinity.]] Only time will tell if they succeed.
** Once, the PAYDAY crew threw down the gauntlet and succeeded in stealing several items from the Treasures of the Pantheon: [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal the Sweet Tooth truck,]] [[VideoGame/BlazBlue the Nox Nyctores]] [[note]]Only four of them, as the other 6+1 copy are held by different gods in the Pantheon (Take-Mikazuchi by Dallas, Nirvana by Chains, Musashi by Wolf, and MuchÅrin by Houston)[[/note]], [[LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana the Reiji Maigo]], [[VideoGame/{{Doom}} The BFG-9000,]] [[LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex Index Librorum Prohibitorum,]] [[Literature/LordOfTheRings The One Ring,]] [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk The Ark of the Covenant]] and [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros the Smash Ball.]] The crew was eventually forced to return the items, but many deities found themselves impressed with the crew's plan, which included saws, [[VideoGame/MetalGear cardboard boxes]], [[{{Superman}} Kryptonite]], [[Film/TheDarkKnightSaga schoolbuses]], and the Smash Ball itself.
** The crew has gotten bigger over the past few months: aside from the return of the original Hoxton, they acquired the services of several more career criminals... including the legendary hitman, JohnWick. Many gods fear this mortal, and for good reason.
*** Unfortunately, their nightmares became true when [[Pantheon/CrimeLesserGods John Wick's]] ascension occurred. Due to this, most people of the House of Commerce are wary not to get into the Crew's bad side.
** Getting bored of battling law enforcement, the PAYDAY Crew once decided to raid a decidedly different sort of target: Freddy Fazbear's pizzaria. While they didn't expect much of a score from the establishment, the prospect of fighting TheDreaded animatronics [[ItAmusedMe seemed like a fun idea.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpulBjE4KGI The heist was...eventful to say the least,]] and was captured on the security cameras for posterity.
* Exclusive to the Los Santos crew:
** Trevor's BloodKnight tendencies have made waves amongst the Pantheon. He has attracted the attention of the Crawling Chaos himself, Nyarlathotep, who sought to harness Mr. Phillips' rage for his own. Trevor's response? [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu Flipping the bird.]]
** Trevor's [[AnEntrepreneurIsYou company]], Trevor Phillips [[InsistentTerminology Industries/Enteprises/Corporation/basically anything that sounds important]], is currently competing against [[Pantheon/RangedWeapons Marcus Kincaid's]] own Marcus Munitions. There is some bad blood between the two, probably hailing from the fact that Trevor was denied the ability to break into the arms race on Pandora.
** None of the fellows seem to be too fond of the 3rd Street Saints, Michael in particular. While this could be attributed to a brief MushroomSamba involving a [[TakeThat purple haze and aliens]], he claims that he is [[FollowTheLeader just]] [[DuelingGames wary]] of the gang's actions.
** Franklin, along with other BadassDriver deities and associates (such as [[Pantheon/{{Travel}} Speed Racer, Takumi Fujiwara, Dominic Toretto and Captain Falcon]]) are planning to create a racing league for the members of the Pantheon to buy in.
** Michael is a very fierce PapaWolf to his children Tracey and Jimmy, and will tear through ''anyone'' to protect his children. This also extends to [[TheMentor his proteges]] or anybody whom he considers to be like his own children, including [[LikeASonToMe Franklin]]. Even [[Pantheon/{{War}} Kratos]] and [[Pantheon/{{Combat}} Asura]], two of the more vengeful gods in the Pantheon, give Michael their blessings to go crazy when his kids are threatened.
** Recently, the trio have agreed to cease their "practices of capitalism" following their clashes with CorruptCorporateExecutive Devin Weston and [[DirtyCop Dirty FIB Agent]] Steve Haines, but have promised to return when the scores become bigger.
** Trevor's attempts to break into the meth business puts him in contention with none other than [[RedBaron Heisenberg]] himself, Walter White. Now, he waits for the day where he can gloat about destroying everything Walt has created before his cancer deals the final blow.
** Michael can often be found with a good friend of his, [[Pantheon/NarrativeLesserGods Max Payne]]. It's been said that Max himself taught Michael everything he knows about marksmanship. He is also allies with the cowboy [[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption John Marston]], who sympathizes with Michael's desire to be a good father and staying out of the life of crime despite circumstances.
** Recently offered Niko Bellic the chance to join them in the next Big score as a gunman, [[Videogame/GrandTheftAutoIV given his involvement in the robbery of the Liberty City Bank]]. Niko unfortunately declined, citing that he has long abandoned his Criminal Career.
