276!Part Ones Villain Group
277[[folder: Part One’s Big Bad (SPOILERS UNMARKED)]]
278!!Estefa Dora
279One of the two main antagonists of part 1, he is a eccentric and charismatic seemingly Inkling Entrepreneur in Inkopolis who is known for his charity work and helping others, and invented “Water Block” which is used to protect against water. It is revealed that Estefa is an Inktoling who wishes to flood the world to destroy all Inklings and Octolings so Inktolings can be the dominate species and share a world with humanity, which he had plans of reviving so he would be held as a hero.
280----
281* AbsoluteXenophobe: In his reveal, despises quite literally all Inklings and Octolings to the point of wishing to transform them into Squids and Octopi and keeping them in the water while Inktolings rule.
282
283* AndIMustScream: What he plans to do. His plan is using his product water block on the civilians and then flood the world and cities with specially modified water, and the Inklings and Octolings who didn’t dissolve from not wearing water block, would transform back into their ancestors, Inklings into Squids and Octolings to Octopi, and, as confirmed by Lewis, these would have had sapience.
284
285* BigBadDuumvirate: With Lewis Coltrane of the first fic.
286
287* DieLaughing: Believing that the cities will despise The Squidbeak Splatoon, Estefa dies while chuckling and boasting that he won in the end.
288
289* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Subverted for Gabbie, and despite it being confirmed the two in a relationship, they truly never cared for her and only used her similar abuse and neglect to get her on his side.
290
291* EvilAllAlong: Appeared to be a very lovable and charismatic entrepreneur before revealing his true motivations.
292
293* FauxAffablyEvil: Hides his complete vengeful attitude under a cheery and charismatic mask and his charity work.
294
295* {{Foil}}: To Misa Atsukin, the protagonist. Both are Inktolings who, due to different circumstances hide who they truly are and are shown to be hardworking members of society who are kind (or at least pretend to be on Estefa’s case) to others while they keep their true identity a secret. However, their circumstances and how they deal with trouble is different. Misa was never discriminated against due to their mother keeping her Inktoling identity a secret while saying they would get killed for being an Inktoling, having them feel terrible for being an Inktoling, while Estefa was abused for his childhood for being one, which lead him completely hating Inklings and Octolings and feeling like Inktolings are superior. Misa shows to be compassionate and loving towards people while working hard as a coffee shop worker, not wanting others to be hurt, while Estefa’s kidness is always a mask and he shows to despise every other person around him. While Estefa is shown to be loved by the cities, Misa is usually ignored at best and discriminated for being Non Binary, however, Estefa still didn’t show any gratefulness and allowed hatred to fester while Misa didn’t let the bullying stop them from trying to make something of their life and helping out others.
296
297* FreudianExcuse: Discussed and Ultimately Defied. Estefa grew up an orphan who was bullied by Inklings and Octolings alike, leading to a bitter hatred of them. After faking his death and changing his name and identity, he became a large businessman, entrepreneur, and scientist. However, his bitterness still retains and it is only heightened by seeing fellow Inktolings abused and killed and decides to find a way to bring Inklings and Octolings down, while Inktolings can finally be safe. However, Misa and Estefa have a back and forth fight during the climax in, which both raise good points, but showing just how Estefa is delusional and careless. While Estefa says that no one truly loved his old person (Raven Onyx), Misa is correct in that Estefa became a loved person as a scientist and could have helped fellow Inktolings and been an advocate for them, and while the treatment he suffered was harsh, it was vastly outweighed by him trying to trap all of them into fates worst than deaths and risking Inktolings, the very thing he claims to protect, lives.
298
299* ItsAllAboutMe: What Misa thinks, as he shows little actual care for Inktolings, considering he is fine with them getting killed in the flooding and explicitly says he would kill humans he would resurrect if they didn’t accept him as an Inktoling, which shows deep down Estefa cares for himself.
300
301* NotSoDifferentRemark: Surprisingly Subverted. Despite Misa and Him being Inktolings, he doesn’t see Misa as an Inktoling due to him thinking they didn’t suffer enough as an Inktoling and hid who they were around people for all their life, leading to growing bonds and sees them more of an Inkling.
302
303* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: While he attempts to reason his actions are for the good of the Inktolings, it falls flat in the end as it’s pointed out how many Inktolings would be killed anyway from the flooding and shows more of a petty egotism,
304
305* TakingYouWithMe: Attempts to pull this on Misa, who pulls them into the floods path in a last ditch effort to kill them.
306
307* TheSocialDarwinist: Has this mindset, believing himself and other Inktoling as the superiority and the best to survive against the nature of the world.
308
309* VillainsWithGoodPublicity: Is lover by the city for being a charming entrepreneur and creating a revolutionary invention that would solve dissolving in water.
310
311[[/folder]]
312
313[[folder: Lewis Coltrane]]
314!!Lewis Coltrane
315Lewis is a former scientist who [[spoiler: works with Estefa Dora]] to help destroy the Squidbeak Splatoon and Inkopolis via any way possible, out of revenge for the group rejected his inventions. It is revealed he worked with TarTar in the mass blending of thousands of Octolings and is unwittingly responsible for Agent 8.
316----
317
318* AssholeVictim: It’s hard to shed tears when this dude goes down.
319
320* AxCrazy: Shows to be completely unhinged.
321
322* EvenEvilHasStandards: EXTREMELY Downplayed, as Lewis does show to be shaken up over Eddie beating Marina nearly to death, however, is shown to wanted to make a sick joke on it, only stopping when knowing everyone would get on his case for it.
323
324* EvilIsPetty: His villainy was fueled due to Captain Cuddlefish, Callie and Marie criticizing his bad inventions.
325
326* FatalFlaw: He shows many of these in shades:
327** He shows a very big amount of {{pride}}, which causes him to overlook his flaws, which later leads to his
328** With this, his {{Sloth}} as he doesn’t manage to do any work himself, leads his inventions to be incredibly vulnerable.
329** And finally, his {{wrath}} ultimately leads to his downfall, as his constant abuse of the Octoling Soldiers force them to turn on him, which leads to his death.
330
331* FromNobodyToNightmare: Apparently was just a regular smart person who seemed to have been a decent person before his descent into villainy.
332
333* HateSink: Absolutely NO good things can be said about a Lewis, from his xenophobia, sadism, crass humor and general unappealing nature.
334
335* HatedByAll: Absolutely no one ever likes this guy, not even anyone in his own group.
336
337* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: He was the main one person working with Commander TarTar in mass blending thousands of Octolings, including Michelle’s older sister, Kara’s Mother and Sarah’s friend Jake, and tortured Agent 8, Isa, which leads him having more personal villainy than Estefa.
338
339* KilledMidSentence: Attempts to reveal one more secrete to Isa before killing her, before he gets impaled by Sally and falling off a cliff.
340
341* PlagiarismInFiction: Stole DJ Octavio’s devices in order to pass them off as his inventions.
342
343* {{Sadist}}: Is shown to be the most sadistic person on his team, enjoying in pain and suffering that is inflicted on others.
344
345* SmugSnake: Has an extreme high view of himself.
346
347* StealingTheCredit: Believes that Cap’n Cuddlefish and The Squid Sisters stole his work, while in reality, his inventions were poor and usually copies. This is ironic, has he has no qualms using Octavio’s and Tartar’s machines to his use.
348
349* TheSociopath: More of a low-functioning example, due to his unhinged, lack of overall planning and his general impulsiveness.
350
351* StupidScientist: Despite all his boasting, Lewis himself isn’t very smart, as most of his genius inventions were mostly rehashing of other villains works, such as DJ Octavio’s Calamari Incantation, and as the Squid Sisters puts it, his original inventions were extremely amateurish at best.
352

357!!Eddie Moss
358Eddie is a new politician who wishes to run and become the new Mayor of Inkopolis, using cheap and corrupt tricks to get far. It is later revealed he is working with Lewis Coltrane and [[spoiler: Estefa Dora]] in order to destroy the Splatoon’s reputation due to the old Agent 3 abandoning him and his sister, leading to his sister’s death. He is later defeated and put in prison presumably for the rest of his life.
359----
360
361* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Is pretty much disliked or feared by everyone in Inkopolis and isn’t much like by anyone other than his assistant Lyra
362
363* BigBadWannabe: Originally presented as the big bad and the main threat, before Lewis and [[spoiler: Estefa]] took over
364
365* CoDragons: Becomes this, alongside The Lovers and Arguably Gabbie.
366
367* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He loves his sister Sabrina, as his motivation to try and destroy the Splatoon was out of anger of her death in the Splat Lands.
368** He also cares for his Octoling assistant Lyra, treating her well and not being racist to her, and being angered at others if they try insulting her. It’s shown he sees his sister in her and even when he insulted her by calling her a “Pit Dweller” in the finale chapter of part one, looked pain doing it.
369
370* DeadpanSnarker: Is shown to be snarky with every line of dialogue he says.
371

388* BoomerangBigot: Downplayed. While not racist at all, she is willing to work with Eddie, who he himself is a extreme racist.
389
390* FreudianExcuse: Her hatefulness of The Splatoon was due to the Splat Lands incident where they all caused their parents to get killed.
