11	[[folder: Ellen Burks]]
12	!!Ellen Burks/Taylor Carter
13	A young girl from Unova. Ellen became an unofficial participant in the Rocket-Liberty War when she joined up with Ryan Sanders and the Shiny Beasts Group.
14	----
15	* BreakTheCutie: The damage to Unova, as well as her encounters with Hayes and [=McKinley=], and her participation in the battle against the Darkrai have been shown to be gradually affecting her. Not helped at all by the things she has seen during her travels through Hoenn.
16	* CheerfulChild
17	* FriendToAllLivingThings
18	* HeroicBSOD: Following Hannah's attack on Sootopolis. Suffice to say that Ellen did not take the destruction all that well.
19	* TheLinus
20	* LittleMissBadass: Took on Seven--the fourth most powerful Ancient--and won. Downplayed, however, as she had help from Ryan.

23	[[folder: Jackson Sang]]
24	!!Jackson Sang
25	A freelance assassin legendary for his combat skills.
26	----
27	* TheAce
28	** BrokenAce
29	%%* BadassLongcoat
30	* BreakTheHaughty: A fairly mild example, but he hasn't been quite the same since thwarting Elton's mind control plot.
31	* ConvenientComa: Alongside Eileen Alaric following Ford's attack on the Alaric Estate--''immediately'' after Levi Alaric's location, who the pair had planned on searching for, was discovered.
32	* CurbStompBattle: Delivered a brief one to Quincy Adams during his introductory arc.
33	* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Maroon hair and eyes.
34	%%zce* DeadpanSnarker
35	%%zce* {{Expy}}: Of [[Literature/{{Baccano}} Claire Stanfield]].
36	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Done by [=McKinley=]'s Xatu after he [[ForTheEvulz deliberately]] told Sang the details of Ford's current plan, leaving Sang to try and find a way to undo the damage.
37	* LastNameBasis: Only ever referred to as Sang, even by the narration. The one aversion has been with a flashback to his childhood, in which his friend Emre referred to him as Jack.
38	* MeaningfulName: "Sang" comes directly from "sanguinary," a descriptor meaning something "involving or causing much bloodshed."
39	* MercyKill: Delivered one to Tate and Ash.
40	* MyGreatestFailure: Failed to stop Ash Ketchum from being brainwashed by Elton, and thus failed the contract he was on. Apparently the first time he has ever lost in his life. On the plus side, he did manage to save Misty, Darren, and a bunch of other prisoners.
41	** Has another in the form of his childhood friend Emre, who almost died to a pack of Mightyena and then died several years later when the two were mugged.
42	* PutOnABus: By way of ConvenientComa.
43	* TookALevelInBadass: As shown by a flashback, nine-year-old Sang was not the strongest kid on the block.
44	[[/folder]]
45
46	[[folder: Esen Windred]]
47	!!Esen Windred
48	A lone Trainer who appeared in Cianwood City in order to help against the brainwashed Rocket Elites, Esen soon revealed herself to be none other than the daughter of the late Shadow Admin Ace.
49	----
50	* AbusiveParents: Ace used Esen as a living test subject in order to try and create a Rocket-loyal SuperSoldier.
51	%% * TheAce: When it comes to combat.
52	* ActionGirl
53	* AmnesiacHero: She doesn't remember anything about her life before the age of ten or so. After being exposed to the Signs' Fear gas, she has regained those memories.
54	* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Her main battling style. She takes note of her opponents' weaknesses and exploits them, managing to do so in such a way that she can even overcome type disadvantages.
55	* BadassBookworm: Often, her inner monologues during battle reference the combat training she received, which thus far has covered basic topics like type advantages to more nuanced studies like the battle styles of specific Gym Leaders and Pokémon.
56	* BlowYouAway: All of her Pokémon so far have been Flying-Type, much like her mother.
57	* BrokenAce: She did not gain her abilities without a lot of loss, including the life of her father.
58	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Gets two shortly after her introduction.
59	** First, she makes short work of the same Gym Leader-strength Pokémon that had handily defeated TL Agents Jenny and Hex moments before her arrival, through virtually perfect use of type advantages, immunities and superior strength.
60	** After telling off Silvermind for her role in Ace's death, she nonetheless saves the Liberty Admin from what could have been a lethal Charge Beam attack, suffering an injury to herself in the process.
61	* MeaningfulName: In addition to the "wind" in "Windred," "Esen" is a Turkish name meaning "the wind," further referencing her type specialty.
62	%% * SheCleansUpNicely: During the Liberty Ball.
63	%% * SugarAndIcePersonality
64	%% * TheQuietOne
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder: Eileen Alaric]]
68	!!Eileen Alaric
69	Sleight's wife, a woman noted by Sang for her powerful presence and fierce determination.
70	----
71	* AscendedExtra: First appeared as an off-hand mention in the time skip post (as well as having been briefly mentioned by [=McKlellen=] during Team Rocket's assault on Soil Colossus); later becomes much more important when her son is kidnapped.
72	* {{Determinator}}: Part of Sang's observations about her during a brief encounter.
73	* MamaBear: The overall impression she gives off to Sang in a very brief encounter.
74	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: While not exactly "royal," she ''is'' the wife of the most powerful man in Kanto, and she insists on personally joining the search for her missing son.
75	[[/folder]]
76
77	[[folder: Levi Alaric]]
78	!!Levi Alaric/Calvin Truman
79	Sleight's son, who disappeared under unknown circumstances shortly after the six month time skip. Later revealed to have been abducted and recruited by the Hojohsin League as the Eighth Child.
80	----
81	* AscendedExtra: First appeared as an off-hand mention in the time skip post (as well as having been briefly mentioned by [=McKlellen=] during Team Rocket's assault on Soil Colossus), and was later kidnapped under mysterious circumstances.
82	* ChildSoldier: Virtually all of Ford's apprentices are this to some extent, given their early recruitment, but Calvin in particular is implied to be somewhere around the age of nine or ten.
83	* CodeName: Calvin Truman, the Eighth Child.
84	* CoveredWithScars: According to his mother, courtesy of an accident that occurred shortly before the beginning of the story.
85	* MindRape: Implied to be enduring this in his introductory post.
86	* MommasBoy: Described as much closer to his mother than his father.
87	* ShoutOut: His CodeName was specifically chosen as a reference to ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes.
88	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Described as having black hair and blue eyes, just like his mother and father, though notably not as icy-intense of a blue as his father.
89	* TroubledChild
90	* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Wore one when he appeared in Havoc. Much like his general presence there and cooperation with Ford, he likely did not don it willingly. It was later discarded on James Pierce's orders.
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder: Sam Moreno]]
94	!!Samara Moreno
95	Generally referred to as "Sam," Samara is Joker's daughter, and the older sibling of Will.
96	----
97	* BigSisterInstinct: Towards Will. Despite her own fears, she turns back and puts herself at risk in order to ensure that he remains safe.
98	* CuteClumsyGirl: A downplayed example. She fell down the stairs to her room and injured her ankle in her second post, with a comment from Will implying that this is not an unusual occurrence.
99	* ShrinkingViolet: Will describes her as having set "a self-imposed exile" after their father's death.
100	[[/folder]]
101
102	[[folder: Will Moreno]]
103	!!Wilson Moreno
104	Generally referred to as "Will," Wilson is Joker's son, and the younger sibling of Sam.
105	----
106	* EmotionlessBoy: He has very downplayed reactions to things, and has yet to be shown truly losing his cool--even when threatened by a Darkrai. Implied to be a case of SafetyInIndifference, given he largely took on this kind of attitude after his father died.
107	* InnocentlyInsensitive: He has a way of making simple statements that can really sting--for instance, inadvertently highlighting Sam's inferiority complex by stating that she didn't know for sure that their father's urn would go undamaged during Ford's attack on the Moreno manor.
108	* PsychicPowers: Possesses them to a degree--specifically healing abilities. It is implied that they will develop more with age.

138	An Eevee given to Xander by Professor Sycamore.
139	----
140	[[/folder]]
141
142	[[folder: Mercury]]
143	!!Mercury
144	An amnesiac, Mercury woke up in Fallarbor town with only his pokemon, his trainer ID, and a list of dates and places.

147	* {{Determinator}}: Spent nearly a month traveling from Fallarbor to Sootopolis with little rest.
148	* HeroicBSOD: Starts out in a minor one after seeing the destruction of Sootopolis

151	* RuggedScar: Has one extending up his left jawline.
152

198	!!Team Plasma
199	The governing body of Unova. They have come a long way from their days as an AnimalWrongsGroup.
200	----

202	%%* {{Expy}}: Their rule over Unova was heavily based on [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Ba Sing Se]].%%Expand on their similarities more please.
203	[[/folder]]

209	* BroughtDownToNormal: After the last confrontation with the Ancients.
210	* DishingOutDirt: Specializes in Ground-Types.
211	* HonorBeforeReason: Shows up from time to time, such as when he allowed an injured Hayes to go free instead of taking the opportunity to bring her to justice.
212	* Invoked/IdiosyncraticShipNaming: Showmanshipping, referring to [[OfficialCouple him and Jenny.]]
213	* LargeHam: The biggest in the story.
214	* OfficialCouple: With Jenny.
215	* SignatureMon: Gnip the Garchomp.
216	* TheChosenOne: To Palkia.
217	** To Landorus, too, in a sense, given that the Abundance Pokémon travels with him of his own accord.
218	* WhatTheHellHero: On the receiving end of this when the Sages learn that he allowed Hayes to go free.
219	* TheWorfEffect: Tends to be on the receiving end of this, being beaten by One, Hayes, and Black Kyurem during each of their respective first combat appearances.
220	[[/folder]]
221
222	[[folder: Jenny Hakuda]]
223	!!Summer Shirayuki/Jessica Hakuda/Jenny Hakuda
224	Ray's sister who was thought to have died when he lived in Goldenrod City.
225	----
226	* ActionGirl
227	* DamselInDistress: Ryan sending a video of him attacking her is partially what sent the Unova Group to Unova to begin with. Has wound up as a DamselInDistress several times since then, but seems to be growing out of it.
228	* Invoked/IdiosyncraticShipNaming: Showmanshipping, referring to [[OfficialCouple her and Evan.]]
229	* LaserGuidedAmnesia:
230	* LongLostSibling: To Ray.

232	* SiblingTeam: With Ray during the final fight against the Ancients.
233	* TookALevelInBadass: Following the events in Unova, Jenny trained. A lot.
234	[[/folder]]
235
236
237	!!Shadow Selves
238
239	[[folder: Feral]]
240	!!Feral Tierra
241	The dark half of Evan Tierra, Feral was released once Evan lost control of his powers over space after realizing that he had been lied to by Searcher.
242	----
243	* BackFromTheDead: After being booted out of Evan's head for the second time.
244	* DarkIsEvil: He's a being composed of darkness--literally Evan's inner shadow given form.
245	* DealWithTheDevil: Agreed to work with Archie in exchange for more power. It did not end well for Team Aqua.
246	* EvilCounterpart: Is like Evan in every way... except for his personality, his blood lust, and the fact that he is constantly coated with darkness.
247	* ForTheEvulz: More or less the only reason he ever does anything.
248	* HumanoidAbomination: Being a Palkia-powered figure of evil, he looks exactly like Evan and seeks to cause as much havoc as the Ancients.
249	* HumiliationConga: Following his revival. He's very quickly trashed and thrashed by everyone on board the S.S.
250	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Courtesy of a combined attack from a number of Evan's Pokémon.
251	* KilledOffForReal: What it seemed at first, until it turned out that he was NotQuiteDead.
252	* KissOfDeath: Downplayed--Jenny kissing him didn't kill him, but it surprised him enough that Palkia was able to seal him away inside of her for good.
253	* LargeHam: No surprise, considering he's Evan's other half. Feral is not afraid to be as bombastic and loud as possible while he terrorizes those around him.
254	* LiteralSplitPersonality: Being Evan's "dark half."
255	* NeckSnap: What finally killed him.
256	* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Taken to questionable levels after a while--particularly around the point where he gained the ability to merge with his Pokémon. Doesn't help that a number of these weren't even things that Evan himself could do.
257	* NotQuiteDead: After his NeckSnap, he was sent back into Evan's self, where he began to wreak havoc from within.
258	* ObviouslyEvil: Goes with the whole "covered in shadow" thing. If his appearance wasn't obvious enough, his personality would give it away pretty quickly.
259	* RedEyesTakeWarning
260	* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: His final defeat, wherein Jenny voluntarily allowed him to be sealed inside of her mind.
261	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: To Evan.
262	* VillainDecay: By the time he comes back, Evan's already emotionally beaten him, rendering Feral powerless and unable to comprehend how no one fears him anymore.
263	[[/folder]]
264
265	[[folder: Kane]]
266	!!Kane
267	A man who appeared underneath Opelucid some time after the Ancients' defeat and was subsequently freed by Feral.
268	----
269	* DidNotThinkThisThrough: His plan to frame Team Liberty for the incident in Opelucid may have worked had it not been for the very clear evidence within the scene he was showing--including a very ObviouslyEvil Feral and Kane's own throne.
270	* FrameUp: His most recent act, attempting to make it seem as if several members of Team Liberty are attacking Opelucid's residents. It did not go as expected.
271	* MindControl: Effectively brainwashed the entire populace of Opelucid, turning them into his slaves.
272	* ObviouslyEvil: Subverted. At a glance, he appears fairly normal. His choice of companions, however? Not so much.
273	* PutOnABus: After Opelucid.
274	[[/folder]]
275
276	[[folder: Keston Ail]]
277	!!Keston Ail
278	A hallucinated manifestation of Kyle Eston's depression, and one of the more blatant expressions of his depression during the Unova Arc.
279	----
280	* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: After his appearance at the Pokémon World Tournament caused Kyle to suffer from a FreakOut, he and Kyle engaged in this. Kyle won, finally taking the first step to his mental recovery.
281	* DemotedToExtra: Played a fairly recurring role in Unova, though has made hardly any appearances since then. Not that it isn't justified, given the circumstances of his defeat.
282	* EnemyWithin: To Kyle.
283	[[/folder]]
284
285	!!Minor Antagonists
286
287	[[folder: Déoza]]
288	!!Déoza
289	A weapons organization allied with Ford. Little is actually known about them, but they have become more active and more cooperative with Ford as more and more of the other side-organizations are dismantled.
290
291	Named Déoza members introduced so far have included Dragan Argall and Naum Rhodes, during the Havoc Arc; and Commander Rida Damon. Their leader is known to be David Castle, though he has yet to make an appearance.
292	----
293	* BloodKnight: Universal across the organization, it seems.
294	* BossInMookClothing
295	* TheBrute: Argall, of the agents shown in Havoc.
296	* CyanidePill: Déoza agents tend to utilize some variation of this. For the Train Arc, it was personal self-destruct devices.
297	* CerebusSyndrome: Notably, every arc that has included Déoza agents as enemies has resulted in numerous brutal deaths.
298	* CoolMask: Rhodes's skull helmet.
299	* TheDragon: To the Hojohsin League itself.
300	* EliteMook: They're the Ford Agents' main enforcers, so to speak, providing a challenging distraction for Ford's enemies while his Agents do their work.
301	* KilledOffForReal: Rhodes and Argall.
302	* LeanAndMean: Rhodes.
303	* MarionetteMaster: Rhodes wielded his Poké Balls this way, with strings stretching from his gloves to the capsules.
304	* MysteriousEmployer: Nobody seems to really know anything about Castle, to an even greater extent than Ford.
305	* YouHaveFailedMe: Rhodes and Argall were intentionally (and knowingly) placed into a pocket dimension that would kill them upon their defeat.
306
307	!!Paul Burks
308	Ellen's father and a blacksmith for Déoza.
309	----
310	[[/folder]]
311
312	[[folder: The Searchers]]
313	!!The Searchers
314	A group of collectors, of sorts, who were originally allied with Team Rocket. They were later contacted and recruited by the Hojohsin League, and even later were destroyed by Ho-Oh as a result of their many attempts to capture the Legendary Phoenix.
315	----
316	* KilledOffForReal: Pretty much the entire organization, thanks to Ho-Oh.
317	[[/folder]]
318
319	[[folder: Team Energon]]
320	!!Team Energon
321	A group originating from a former rebellion movement. Cyan Vero inadvertently prompted their creation when he reached out to the remnants of their group and assisted them in creating technology designed to drain power from Pokémon. They were later contacted to join the Hojohsin League.
322	----
323	* ObviouslyEvil: Even before they officially became Team Energon, there was always something off about their methods and attitudes--particularly Michael Travis's.
324	[[/folder]]
325
326	[[folder: Soil Colossus, Inc.]]
327	!!In General
328	A drilling company[=/=]secretly-mafia-esque group operating in Sinnoh. They were hired to assist in rescuing Silvermind from Team Rocket, but ultimately betrayed Team Liberty in order to further their own agenda.
329	----
330	* KilledOffForReal: Everyone involved with the group. Sleight made sure of that.
331
332	!!Carl Sandrock
333	The head of Soil Colossus, Inc. Formerly a Team Rocket scientist, Sandrock worked on a mind control machine for much of his time in the organization, until it was forcibly shut down by Shadow Admin Sleight, losing his original Pokémon team in the process. In retaliation, he devised a plan to get back at them.
334	----
335	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Did everything in his power to be as big of a thorn in Sleight's side as possible. [[GoneHorriblyRight He succeeded, with disastrous consequences for himself.]]
336	* BoomHeadshot: Courtesy of Sleight.
337	* CavalryBetrayal: Planned and led his "reinforcements" to be the second group to pull this against Team Liberty during an attack on the Hoenn Rocket Base, all so that he could use Team Liberty and Team Rocket as a means to capture an Alpha Manaphy.
338	* ExtraOreDinary: Specialized in Ground-Types.
339	* KilledOffForReal
340	* MeaningfulName: A Ground-Type trainer named '''Sandrock'''. How appropriate.
341	* OhCrap: His reaction upon discovering that Soil Colossus' "blood-bending" machine did not work on Sleight.
342	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Received a brutal one from Sleight just before his death.
343	* RevengeByProxy: Took out much of his anger against the Shadow Admins by attacking their lower-ranking Agents, permanently crippling many of them.
344	* ShoutOut: His organization's name and the name of their headquarters were a reference to one of Website/{{Smogon}}'s CAP projects, Colossoil.
345	* SmugSnake: He believed himself to be on pretty equal footing with Team Rocket, and it showed. Unfortunately he was ''very'' mistaken.
346	* StartOfDarkness: The forceful shut-down of his original MindControl experiments, which resulted in the loss of his entire original Pokémon team. This led to him seeking revenge for the rest of his life.
347	* UnderestimatingBadassery: ''Severely'' underestimated how far Sleight would go to retaliate against him.
348	[[/folder]]
349
350	[[folder: Gerald Hikari]]
351	!!Gerald Hikari
352	Zach and Ryan Hikari's evil father. And Lucia's (?). Things got complicated around the time he came onto the scene.
353	----
354	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: If he never tried to take over Lucia's mind, Jamie might never have been able to confess to Lucia that she was a clone.
355	* PsychicPowers: Possesses them, and they seem to have passed down to Zach.
356	* TangledFamilyTree: [[WordOfGod Blade's]] the only one who can truly give a straight answer in regards to how Gerald and his family's dynamics work out.
357	* VillainousBreakdown: He's suffered a few of these. Tends to bounce back after a while, though.
358	[[/folder]]
359
360	[[folder: Team Zephyr]]
361	!!In General
362	A group of eight trainers who took over the Celadon Department Store. At the moment, not much is known about them, but they seem to have some sort of interest in Rayquaza.
363	----
364
365	* BlowYouAway: The main theme of their team is the Flying-Type, as evidenced by their name and their interest in Rayquaza. Certain members did not get the memo.
366	* BoxedCrook: Ethan convinced the police to give them this opportunity. Only Skye and Skylark took up the offer.
367	* {{Expy}}: 3/8 of the team have been based around this.
368	** Skyler heavily invokes [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Shaggy Rogers]], and his Pokémon team consists of punny references to the rest of the Mystery Inc. gang.
369	** Skylark is obsessed with music, has a brother named Chip, and is part of a band with said brother called the [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyoddparents Chipped Skylarks]].
370	** Skye is not a reference to anyone in particular; however, in her introduction she is revealed to be a comic book nerd who idolizes such heroes as [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Crobatman]], [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Green Lanturn]], [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Spinarak-Man]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour The Human Torchic]], and [[ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} Hawlucha-Eye]]. Coincidentally, she also shares a name with [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD another superhero-related group member named Skye.]]
371	* MeaningfulName: All of Team Zephyr's members' names evoke the sky or the wind in some form or another. Yet, even so...
372	** OddNameOut: Team Zephyr consists of Skylon, Skyle, Skylark, Skyler, Skya, Skylah, Skye, and their leader... Windy.
373	* PunchClockVillain: Most of the group.
374	* TokenEvilTeammate: Skyle and Windy.
375
376	!!Windy
377	The leader of Team Zephyr.
378	----
379	* BlowYouAway: She exclusively uses Flying-Types.
380	* CatchPhrase: "As if."
381	* CombatPragmatist: Her original choice of battle locale? An electronics store. Not only did it give her Rotom virtually unlimited access to hiding places and weapons, but it also meant that Ethan couldn't attack without risking some major damage to the surrounding products.
382	* CurbStompBattle: Her first battle against Ethan. It didn't last.
383	* DarkActionGirl
384	* EvenEvilHasStandards: A downplayed example in that it was never directly addressed--but she does seem to truly believe in bringing recognition to Rayquaza and acts out of this desire, and doesn't partake in the same needless cruelty that Skyle does.
385	* ForcedTransformation: Accidentally (and ultimately temporarily) merged with her Pidgeot when she mishandled and broke the Transfer Orb. From a technical standpoint, this means that she was actually ''[[InvertedTrope stronger]]'' than she was as a human; however, she was [[OneHitKill OHKO'd]] by Jamie and taken into custody almost immediately after her transformation, so she never got to make full use of her Pidgeot form.
386	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Windy attempted to use a mysterious green orb to summon and control Rayquaza, and when it did not work she began to mishandle it. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a Transfer Orb, which ended up merging her with her Pidgeot.
387	* MeaningfulName: Zephyr is (at least on paper) based around using Flying-Type Pokémon, and Windy herself exclusively uses them.
388	* NearVillainVictory: The ''only'' reason she failed was because the supposed "Emerald" Orb was actually a Transfer Orb, which proceeded to backfire when she mishandled it.
389	* OddNameOut: The only Zephyr member whose name does not include the word "sky" in it. Windy's close enough, though.
390	* SignatureMon: Rotom-F. She owns at least two of them.
391	* TokenEvilTeammate: Along with Skyle. She's one of the only Zephyr Agents to pose a real threat and the only one dedicated enough to her goal to do whatever she can to achieve it.
392	* VillainousBreakdown: Occurred to Windy when she realized that her orb wasn't working.
393
394	!!Skyle
395	A notable Zephyr member, and easily the most brutal.
396	----
397	* BoxedCrook: Defied. He insisted on jail time and would not even entertain the idea of joining with Team Rocket.
398	* CombatPragmatist: Personally joined in the fray during his first battle [[NeckLift and went straight for Lucia's throat]].
399	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Taken to almost exaggerated levels, with Team Rocket having supposedly locked up his friends for no reason, framing his parents [[RunningGag for no reason]], and shutting down his school [[RuleOfThree for no reason]].
400	* FreudianExcuse: Claims that Team Rocket ruined his life.
401	* NeckLift: Did this to Lucia.
402	* TokenEvilTeammate: With Windy, although he's pretty clearly the worst of the two.
403	[[/folder]]
404
405	[[folder: The Signs]]
406	!!In General
407	A criminal organization operating out of Kalos. They were once on par with present-day Team Rocket in terms of influence in their region, but have since become a shadow of their former selves.
408	----
409	* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: Part of their mythos, naming their leaders' badges of office after the Horsemen. Puzzle's Symbol, for example, is referred to as the Symbol of Pestilence.
410	* LegacyCharacter: The Signs' leaders operate like this. Two of the known title so far are "Shift," currently possessed by Quentin Dallas, and "Puzzle," filled by Malvolio Rask.
411	* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Older members of the Signs fully subscribe to the idea that the organization's gradual degradation is tied directly to the loss of their leaders' Symbols over the years, with younger members--most notably Quentin Dallas--attributing it more to societal changes.
412	* MeaningfulName: "Signs" refers to the common perception of the Four Horsemen as symbols of the coming apocalypse.
413	* TheMafia: Victoire implies that they used to be this. After years of thus-far unexplained damages to the group and overall deterioration, they've become simply another criminal group.
414
415	!!Quentin Dallas/Shift
416	One of the leaders of the Signs, operating under the moniker "Shift."
417	----
418	* CurseCutShort: The narration cuts off the insult that [[BerserkButton results in]] [[TranquilFury Victoire]] knocking him out. Her response implies that he very much deserved it.
419	* CombatPragmatist: He's willing to use anything he can to get an advantage over his enemies, including poison, a taser, and--perhaps most frightening--a device allowing him to forcibly recall any Pokémon not in a Poké Ball.
420	* CombatSadomasochist: He takes a little too much pleasure in inflicting pain on other people. Receiving it? [[DownplayedTrope Not so much]].
421	* DastardlyDapperDerby: Wears a bowler and is definitely a villain.
422	* DidntSeeThatComing: Victoire, basically. Not only could he not figure out how she hadn't been adversely affected by his toxin, but he also did not anticipate her being able to outsmart him and steal his cane.
423	* DisproportionateRetribution: His response to Kyle after the latter frees a number of cruelly-captured Noibat? Tasing him, causing him to hit his head and fall unconscious, drugging him, tasing him again, to wake him up and inform him that he'll be handing him over to the [[TheDreaded Hojohsin League]], drugging him again, and finally setting up him and his fellow captive so that if they try to escape, they'll get drugged again. [[ForegoneConclusion Needless to say]], [[RuleOfThree Kyle gets drugged again.]]
424	* {{Expy}}:
425	%%zce** Of [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Roman Torchwick]].
426	** His hallucinogenic "street drug" is based off of [[Characters/BatmanRoguesGallery Scarecrow's]] fear toxin, specifically a mixture of how it's portrayed in Film/BatmanBegins (as a white powder that works through inhalation) and in VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries (causing its victim to suffer extremely vivid hallucinations).
427	* FalseReassurance: Tells Kyle to relax, after already having made it very clear that he plans on making his life hell.
428	* FatalFlaw: His arrogance. Dallas is very lucky that it didn't get him killed by Victoire, considering how open of an opportunity she had.
429	* FauxAffablyEvil: He puts on a nice face whilst going out of his way to inflict as much pain as possible on his enemies.
430	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Defeated by Victoire when she managed to get a hold of his shock-cane and use it against him--after first extracting all the information on the Signs that she had wanted from him.
431	* LeanAndMean: "Mean" is underselling him.
432	* LegacyCharacter: The most recent Signs leader to adopt the title of Shift.
433	* MixAndMatchWeapon: His cane has a built-in [[StaticStunGun taser]].
434	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Had he not left Kyle and Victoire's belongings locked in the same room as them, they likely would not have been able to break out of his custody.
435	* PragmaticVillainy: Why do battle when one can simply knock out and torture TheHero instead?
436	* PsychoticSmirk: He tends to wear them a lot, particularly when he's in a position to threaten someone.
437	* SharpDressedMan: He's only been shown wearing a suit. Fitting, considering he's essentially a mafia head.
438	* ShockAndAwe: His cane possesses a built-in taser. He also seems fond of utilizing electric shocks to contain the Pokémon he traffics, if the Noibat cages were any indication.
439	* SmugSnake: He's extremely confident in his own gadgets and skills, particularly his ability to maintain control over his operations despite numerous setbacks, to the point where he intentionally leaves Victoire and Kyle locked up with their equipment and Pokémon.
440	* TheNicknamer: Constantly refers to Victoire as "blondie," "sweetheart," and "princess," and to Kyle as "kid."
441
442	!!Malvolio Rask/Puzzle
443	The second leader of the Signs, known to his subordinates as "Puzzle."
444	----
445	* AintTooProudToBeg: He more than willingly directs Esen to where Kyle and Victoire are being held when she threatens to drop him down 20 feet onto concrete.
446	* AffablyEvil: There isn't much to him that could be called "villainous" outside of his compliance in the Signs goals.
447	* DastardlyDapperDerby: He's working with Dallas and wears a bowler. He ain't nice.
448	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Insists that he would never allow [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape]] to occur to a prisoner, regardless of who threatened it.
449	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He's more than willing to cut his losses and start over elsewhere, sans hostages, vengeful friends of said hostages, and overall poor results from the current scheme.
450	* LargeAndInCharge: Appears to work directly alongside Dallas--if not in a higher position than him.
451	* OhCrap: Has several of these moments when Esen leads her assault against the Signs forces in the garage, particularly after his [[ThatCameOutWrong poorly-worded]] revelation that the Signs were holding "a girl" captive.
452	* ThatCameOutWrong: When he mentions to Esen that Dallas was holding "a girl" captive. Like Esen, he [[OhCrap realizes]] the [[SexSlave obvious implications]].
453	* SharpDressedMan: Fitting, as the second high-ranking member of the "Gentlemen's Society" seen so far.
454
455	!!Clue
456	Another of the Signs' leaders.
457	----
458	* LegacyCharacter: Like all of the Signs leaders, Clue is a title passed down whenever a new person takes over.
459
460	!!Riddle
461	Another of the Signs' leaders.
462	----
463	* LegacyCharacter: Like all of the Signs leaders, Riddle is a title passed down whenever a new person takes over.
464
465	!!Lane Garnet
466	A former leader of the Signs, occupying the title of Shift twenty years before Quentin Dallas.
467	----
468	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Quentin Dallas holds a low opinion of him.
469
470	!!Aldric Timur
471	A former leader of the Signs, occupying the title of Puzzle several decades ago.
472	----
473	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Quentin Dallas considers him a scumbag. Then again, this opinion is implied to be based entirely around the fact that Timur stole one of the Signs' Symbols.
474	* PosthumousCharacter: He's long dead by the time he's brought into the picture by Victoire.
475
476	!!Gethin Pollux
477	A mage working with the Signs. He is the first outright-magic-user in the RPG, after it was confirmed to exist several months prior to his introduction.
478	----
479	* CurbStompBattle: To Esen, by way of his previously-unseen and thus unfamiliar magic.
480	* GravityMaster: One of his cards allows him to increase gravity on a group of targets, allowing him to incapacitate Esen and her Pokémon.
481	* PlayingWithFire: One of his cards.
