24	[[folder:Livewire]]
25	Asher Dane. He turned into a spree killer in V11 after being targeted for PoliceBrutality.
26	* HighVoltageDeath: How he kills his victims, and how Maria killed him.
27	* IHaveYourWife: He took Maria's daughter Annie and her boyfriend hostage. Needless to say, [[MamaBear Maria wasn't so happy]].
28	* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: He does this to expose his victims submission to authority.
29	* PoliceBrutality: He gained fame after working to expose corruption in the police department and the cartel world. So, corrupt cops (who, as the player would find quite interesting if they'd played the series, were actually Arnold Bosco and Jacob Fallon) kidnapped him and his wife and tortured them -- his wife died, and he was sent in a five year coma.

32	[[folder:Nightmare poisoner]]
33	Reese Gable. Genius chemist who tried to engineer the N-13/N-14 drugs, which would send their subjects into a violent rampage state.
34	* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: Plays with the suspension of disbelief a bit..
35	* ManipulativeBastard: He, over the course of several years, brainwashed Selene Mensra (Mal's girlfriend) into creating a second personality that made her his subordinate. As Mal comments in V10C8's finale, Selene is just as much a victim as anyone else.
36	* ObfuscatingInsanity: What he pretended to be in V10C4 to deflect the suspicion that he was the killer.
37	* PsychoSerum: His drug, codenamed "Nightmare", not only causes its victims to hallucinate their fears, it causes them to become homicidal.
38	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Reese Gable is a typical villain (single season) but his actions have quite a number of side effects. First off, if he didn't manipulate Serene so seriously, then she might've kept dating Mal. And most dramatically, if he didn't try to gas Oscar and Natara's wedding, then they would've married (probably, Natara ''might've'' failed to state her vows even if uninterrupted), which would've drastically stalled (or hell might've even prevented) Maltara.
39	* WeddingSmashers: He, because of the large count of high-profile guests that DA Oscar Santos' wedding would bring together, tried to gas out Oscar's wedding with Natara to drive everyone nuts.

41
42	[[folder:Pablo Sálazar]]
43	[[TheGeneralissimo General and Prime Minister]] of [[BananaRepublic San Trobida]], a tiny ([[FictionalCountry fictional]]) South American country. After seizing power, he didn't take long to impel a good chunk of the populace to start producing drugs for him, and start establishing his own drug cartel. During Season 2, he began sending his daughter Esmeralda to the Flores, ostensibly to help Esteban overthrow Arcangel, but really to forcibly subsume ''their'' cartel into his.
44
45	In Season 11, finally sick to death of Jacob's [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder trickery]], he has his goons kidnap Mal as a hostage. This backfires on him in the worst way possible, as Jacob's decision to ensure Mal gets out by [[TrueCompanions recruiting his SFPD comrades]] ultimately results in his death.
46
47	%%* ArtisticLicenseGeography: What San Trobida is.
48	%%* ColdBloodedTorture: To Luis Villareal in Chapter 7's bonus scene.
49	* TheCoup: In what is probably the biggest BigDamnHeroes moment in the series (the only contender is the season finale), a ''seven man team'' of Jacob, Mal, Natara, Amy, Kai, Maria and Jeremy ''toppled his country''. With the assistance of a local rebel group.
50	* DefeatEqualsExplosion: He confronts Jacob Fallon, whose gut is punched through with a piece of the helicopter that was shot down. If he had simply shot him instead of taking the time to tell him he would kill his family, then he wouldn't have been killed by the explosion Jacob caused with the C4-loaded gun that he had ''already acknowledged having earlier on''.
51	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His daughter. [[spoiler: Not that he really internalizes that until ''after'' [[YouKilledMyFather Carlito kills her to avenge Esteban]].]]
52	* FakingTheDead: Although it could very well have been [[FauxDeath unintentional]], he (because of his bulletproof vest) survived a rifle round punched into his chest by Mal, and tried to make one last power play but failed.
53	* TheGeneralissimo: He's the leader of TheCartel.
54	* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Daughter]]: He executes Carlito immediately after he executed Esme when Esme acknowledged that she killed Carlito's father Esteban.

58	[[folder:The Boogeyman]]
59
60	Real name: Eli Rosely. Eli was effectively [[AbusiveParents his father's--and possibly also his mother's--favorite scapegoat]]. Whenever his father was upset at how his life was turning out, but was unable or unwilling to confront the source, Eli got all the pain in their stead. At least until the night when career outlaw Jeb Cassidy killed Eli's parents right in front of him...but took pity on him and "recruited" him as an assistant in his robberies. During all this, Cassidy [[LimaSyndrome came to care far more for his captive than his parents ever did]], and so arranged to turn himself in and keep Eli from getting any of the heat. Eli, meanwhile, [[StockholmSyndrome had come to idolize the man who saved him from a lifetime of abuse]], and actually thought ''that'' was why his parents were killed. As a result, he became an avenger of abused children in Cassidy's "stead", dressing up as a boogeyman to kill parents he deems deleterious to their children.
61
62	%%* AbusiveParents
63	* TheApprentice: Eli thinks he was this to Cassidy. In 12-8, it turns out he plans to make Joy Hoskins ''his'' apprentice. Unfortunately, while Eli can't follow through on account of being consigned to an asylum, Andy Gillum has found her for Genevieve.
64	* CallingCard: The rag dolls. [[spoiler: It's actually Eli's mad attempt to keep the victims' children from feeling lonely.]]
65	* ChekhovsGunman: The first we see of him is as an unnamed clerk in 13-1, who just seems to be a random member of a hardware store's workforce. Then Natara pulls his mask off in 13-4...
66	* MagicFeather: What his mask is for him. Cassidy once told Eli that if he wore something as scary as that, he wouldn't have to fear the boogeyman or the like. Rather, ''they'd'' fear ''him''.
67	%%* NightmareFace: His mask. [[NightmareFuel And not just in-story, apparently...]]
68	* ParentalNeglect: He makes this part of his criteria. 12-4's opener shows this.
69	* PsychopathicManchild: Type C--he doesn't have much trouble fitting in with society and being a member of the workforce. However, the things he likes to do (besides the whole avenger-of-the-abused thing) are definitely childish. Just look at his treehouse.
70	* SerialKiller: His sickness, kill count and expertise is rather accentuated compared to the average killer. Mal comments in 12-1 that he can't promise gentleness on him when he sees the files.
71	%%* StockholmSyndrome
72	* TheFaceless: In what actually makes it a bit creepy and off-putting, the opening to 12-4 (which shows him being surprisingly nice to a little girl) doesn't show his facial portrait.
73	* WellIntentionedExtremist: He kills abusive parents. But he apparently doesn't have consideration for the loss of parents his victims suffer.
74

76
77	[[folder:Spinnerette]]
78	A serial killer manipulated by Genevieve Collins who was the only survivor of an attack by Striped Recluse spiders; fictional spiders that are super-venomous. She's killed by The Firstborn (in his debut scene) in V13's conclusion. Her real name is Leah Roberts, Denni Fallon's (Mal's niece) coworker, and she takes Denni hostage.
79	* IHaveManyNames: She has many aliases.
80	* SpidersAreScary: She has a natural immunity to the fictional Striped Recluse spiders, extremely venomous spiders.
81	** TheBeastmaster: It appears she can have a tiny sense of skill in directing them.
82	** SpiderSwarm: Her preferred combat means.

85	[[folder:The Firstborn]]
86
87	Real name: Alex Dominguez. Originally, he was known only through Zero referring to him as Genevieve's adopted son who died young. By season 13, though, this is ''completely'' overturned. He's Genevieve's ''biological'' son, he's very much alive, and he's even more death-obsessed as she is. Not to mention ''much'' more willing to kill with his own hands. Apparently, his goal is to take revenge on her for forcing him to run away. Later in (it's unconfirmed if he changed his mind or lied), he decides that he instead wants to get ''all'' her other Lilim to start killing right away, and from there go on to produce [[ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil a world-wide paradise for killers]]. The real reason for killing her, or at least the foremost one, is so she can't renew their shackles.
88
89	He overtakes Genevieve as the BigBad of the series in Volume 14. He is the series main antagonist from then until it's end.
90
91	* AxCrazy: PlayedWith: He enjoys murder to an insane degree, but he can speak politely and like a DeadpanSnarker.
92	* BloodKnight: There is ''no'' place he's happier than while on a battlefield. Whoever he's opposing ''won't'' be so happy, [[OneManArmy though]]. He seriously believes that the battlefield is the only proper form of human existence, on top of that.
93	* ColdBloodedTorture: He ha expert knowledge of the human anatomy.
94	* DeadPersonImpersonation: He pretended to be Dr. Francis Cole, the doctor Blaise and Jeremy were seeing (we don't know how long he was though).
95	* TheDreaded: Leon Marquez and Angel Dominiguez both begged The Ghost to kill him when The Ghost revealed his presence. The Ghost then killed himself when he learned that he was coming. Even [[TheDragon Kingfisher]], as 13-1 reveals, is ''blood-stoppingly'' terrified of him.
96	* EvilCannotComprehendGood
97	* EvilFeelsGood: For the most part, he doesn't feel much of anything when killing...unless it's on a battlefield, with ''lots'' of carnage and death. ''Then'', he's ecstatic. He states in 14-9 that he finds the freedom on the battlefield to be ''unrivaled''.
98	* TheFaceless: For most of his time during his time in [=CoD=], he keeps his face covered in bandages. He has a history of using plastic surgeons to change his face. We don't see enough of his other faces to know for sure if this is a case of MagicPlasticSurgery or if the changes are minute.
99	* FinalBoss: Of Volume 14 and 16 (and therefore the series).
100	* ItRunsInTheFamily: It seems he inherited his bloodlust from Genevieve. To make matters worse, his biological father is ''Zero''. So ''double'' the inherited madness.
101	* SelfMadeOrphan: He kills Genevieve at the end of 14-7. On top of that, he would have killed Angel Dominguez--''his adoptive father''--if the Ghost [[MercyKill hadn't beaten him]] [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled to it]].
102	%%* TheSocialDarwinist
103	* ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil: He seriously believes that all humans are inherently as bloodthirsty as he is, and only abstain because of the law's threat to punish them. His broadcast to awaken all the other Lilim is ultimately his first stage of reproducing the pre-civilization "paradise" of wanton slaughter. He wants the world to free itself from [[EmotionSupression society's repression]].

106
107	[[folder:Dismemberment Case Perpetrator]]
108	Gareth Kelly aka the DCP is the man responsible for the killing of Basil Frost and many other critics[[note]] He believes they were trying to turn state's evidence against the Commonwealth. [[/note]] of the Anti-Crime Legislation. He hangs, draws and quarters them like it's 1620.
109	* EvilBrit: Exactly who he is.
110	[[/folder]]
111
112	[[folder:The Onryo]]
113	Noroi Hayashi had a fragile childhood in Himura back in 1982, but then fell in love with the Firstborn. Her MO includes crushing the skulls of victims and getting out without any signs of break-ins (not to mention finding no support).
