The Flag of Angel Vale, by Godzillawolf

Angel Vale (its entry here) is a nation occupied by Dracosaurs, Dragons and more recently the Ponies of Ashfall. Founded originally by the mysterious Alicorn goddess known only as 'The Angel' and her Dracosaur creations, Angel Vale had long been a haven of progressive Free Dragons who wish to build a place of belonging where they are free to pursue their interests and talents and grow beyond their fellow dragons' obsession with strength and brutish ways.

Isolated for countless centuries from the rest of the world thanks to the 'Vale', recent events involving a Zebrican Gate, a ruined country of Ponies, a pair of ambassadors, six Dracosaurs and time-loops led to not only the end of its isolation but its salvation from a supervolcanic eruption thanks to their new Pony neighbours. At present, it is a rising, technologically-advancing Free Dragon country which is defying many people's expectations regarding dragons, and are looking to be playing a pivotal role in shaping the interesting times they now found themselves in, especially where dragonkind is concerned.

    General 
  • Actionized Adaptation: Downplayed. For the most part things progressed as in Angels with Scaly Wings in terms of action, but rather than a stand off ending with him being arrested, Razorbill gets an actual proper Final Battle against the heroes. This is because a visual novel doesn't have the means to do a hugely kinetic scene, whereas this has more freedom.
  • Adaptational Badass: Due to being MLP style dragons, the dragons of Angel Vale are far stronger than their counterparts from the game, both in terms of sheer strength and elemental powers. This is why Reza's counterpart has a dragon-killing sword as his murder weapon rather than a revolver and knife. The main characters also all take part in a proper Final Battle with Razorbill, rather than Reza being a Cutscene Boss due to the different medium.
  • Adaptation Expansion: Due to the different format, a lot of things from the game are expanded on, such as aspects of characters' backstories and the story continuing. Exactly what the generators are is expanded upon and how they work. While the game states the dragons have a much larger civilization over the entire continent they live on, Angel Vale as a whole is explored. This is shown in more detail during Codex Quests, when it's the first country visited.
  • Adaptation Name Change: The place the Dragons live in is called Angel Vale in the Codexverse, rather than being on Earth All Along as was in the game. According to Godzillawolf, the name change was both a reference to Angels with Scaly Wings and a Pragmatic Adaptation to ensure it fit within the rules and boundaries with the Codexverse. The actual town goes unnamed in the original, but here is called Cherub Cove.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Ashfall's ponies refer to the dragons of Angel Vale as their 'Angels with Scaly Wings' for saving them from complete destruction and restoring their kingdom.
  • After the End: Ashfall had suffered an apocalyptic volcanic cataclysm, leaving it a lawless wasteland trapped in a volcanic winter for five years. Fortunately, this is reversed after the timeloop is successful.
  • Age Lift: Played With. The dragons in the game are all adults or close to it. Due to being turned into MLP dragons, they're all teenagers by dragon standards. By pony standards, however, they're still the same age.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: The reason Angel Vale was founded in the first place: like other more benevolent dragons, they were looked down on and persecuted for being peaceful and wanting to actually progress as a civilization. This caused them to gather on Angel Vale for safety.
  • Alternate Techline: Angel Vale's isolation, discovering a Second Age Cache, and Sufficiently Analyzed Magic has resulted in it going along its own techline compared to the rest of the world. Specifically, the majority of Angel Vale's advanced technology is Magitek using dragonic magic, which they are the world's experts in.
  • Apocalypse Anarchy: After Duskfall suffered a regional apocalypse due to a massive volcanic eruption, it eventually fell into a lawless wasteland. All that remained were small kingdoms struggling to survive and bands of roaming raiders. Ashfall was likely the last bastion of order in the entire country, forcing the local populace to get help from Angel Vale to put down the raiders and restore order after the apocalpytic volcanic winter was cleared.
  • Apocalypse How:
    • Ashfall, formerly named Duskfall, suffered an apocalypse following a massive volcanic eruption and ensuing volcanic winter, causing society to completely fall apart. The result was an anarchic society similar to Fist of the North Star, with raiders prawling the lands and warlords ruling what little they had with iron hooves. This forced the majority of Ashfallers to rely on Angel Vale to help put down the raiders and warlords and restore order after the volcanic eruption was stopped in time.
    • Angel Vale likewise also faced complete destruction due to its society being built in the caldera of a supervolcano. In the original timeline, it was destroyed thanks to the sabotage and murderous rampage of Razorbill, who was bigoted towards the local Dragons and Dracosaurs and abandoned Angel Vale to die. Thanks to Shining Dove, who was given the chance to make things right by Ourophion, the supervolcanic eruption was eventually prevented in time.
  • Armored Dragons:
    • During the final battle with Razorbill, Aerri makes the group armor. While not technically tougher than dragon scale, Razorbill's sword, Draig Gwaed, has an enchantment to let it easily damage dragons. This enchantment doesn't work on anything except dragons, however, so wearing armor makes it just a very sharp sword and offers far better protection.
    • Their military uses special armor that allows their pony allies from Ashfall to ride in and act as co-pilots and gunners.
  • Back from the Brink: Ashfall was on the verge of complete collapse and destruction, but thanks to joining with Angel Vale, it's successfully recovered better than before the disaster.
  • Badass Bystander:
    • When a group of dragons who were against the merger with Ashfall attack the diner Edel works at while the Codex interviewer group is present, many of the dragons present stand up and fight back without hesitation, actively protecting the smaller dragons and races present and generally refusing to buy their crap. Special mention goes to a dragon who smashes the instigator in the face with a large soup tureen to shut him up, a Ruby Dragoness who both counters the psychic attack from a Dumortierite Dragoness and tells her off, and a trio of Triceratops Dracosaurs who form a shield wall around the smaller creatures to protect them.
    Instigator: It's time we do some spring-cleaning! ATTACK - ! [Is smashed in the face with thrown tureen]
    Counter-Protestor: [Stands up with colleagues] Like HELLS you will! It's bad enough you muckrakers come here with your protest, you wanna mess up our favourite restaurant too? YOU HAVE ANOTHER THING COMING!
    • In the same story many patrons of another diner, Qumado's Cherub Cove seafood restaurant, helped the staff fight back against a pair of krakens and hostile local sealife rather than just stay back out of harm's way.
  • Bigger on the Inside: From the outside, Angel Vale is already a large island, but it has a Giant Lands style spacial distortion making it several magnitude larger inside the caldera.
  • Cutting Off the Branches: Due to being a Pragmatic Adaptation, while time loops mean Dove did most of the choices the Ambassador could have made, he explicitly didn't do any of the cruel options presented. He also wasn't romantically attracted to any of the dragons except for Edel.
  • Darker and Edgier: The game was already dark to begin with, but the events of the "Angel Vale Time Loop" are even darker, as things only implied are shown in full, such as the deaths of Shining Dove's friends and the actual apocalypse.
  • Delightful Dragon: Like Cobbletown and Dragontown, the Dragons and Dracosaurs of Angel Vale are entirely benevolent, wanting to break free of Dragonkind's stagnant past and become something greater. The Ashfall ponies definitely see them this way after the dragons saved their country, calling them their 'Angels with Scaly Wings'. And due to their strong bond with Ashfall, the majority of Angel Vale's Draconic population are actively protective of smaller races, as shown during the "Codex Quest(s)" stories.
  • Democracy Is Flawed: Unlike most dragonflights and civilizations, Angel Vale is a democracy. While this mostly works well, the denizens aren't blind to the flaws coming from it and take the good with the bad.
  • Diner Brawl: One occurs in Part 6 of "Codex Quest(s)" when a bunch of dragons opposed to the merger of Ashfall and Angel Vale attack the diner Edel works at while the Codex interviewer group is present for catering to Ashfall Ponies (and Edel's boss throwing the instigator out when he initially caused trouble over it), pitting them against not only against not only the diner's staff but also many local patrons and counter-protestors who were present and won't stand for the xenophobic reactionary muckrakers wrecking their favourite restaurant. The Researcher Trio, three of the Pillars and Rongoa - who were having lunch there at the time - ended up being caught in the middle.
  • Dinosaurs Are Dragons: Justified. The majority (though not all) of Angel Vale's population are Dracosaurs, Fourth-Age descendants of the original Dracosaurs who were genetically engineered by Second-Age Pony scientists and later adopted by Queen Tiamat. They interbred with true dragons over thousands of years, however.
  • Dragon Rider: After merging with Ashfall, Angel Vale dragons and Ashfall ponies have taken to doing this in combat. The dragon has mechanically augmented armor allowing the pilot to use a large arsenal of weapons, act as a second set of eyes, and transmit information to the dragon's visor. Angel Vale Aeroforce fighters would use this to devastating effect during the "Talon Bàis War".
  • Elemental Weapon:
    • Blastfire Breath Missiles take on the elemental qualities of whatever dragon breath is fired into it, even multiples at once. As a result, on impact they release a huge blast infused with that elemental power, greatly increasing the damage inflicted.
    • The Elemental Chargers are an Energy Weapon inspired by Second Age firearms which channels Draconic breaths or abilities like fire, ice, electric or other breaths into a beam or blast of energy which could hit farther and more accurately than their natural weapons.
  • Expy: The kingdom and characters in it are based off the visual novel Angels with Scaly Wings.
  • Fake Memories: Honeyguide and Zähmen trap both countries with the Torquem Memorias, altering their memories to remember Honeyguide as the hero instead of the Angel's Six, and allow Zähmen to become a respected scientist with Aerri as his personal slave. Fortunately the spell is ultimately broken.
  • Heroic Bystander: When a group of anti-Ashfall dragons attack the restaurant Edel works at with intent to attack the smaller races present, most of the civilians present don't stand by. Rather, they stand up and fight back, actively protecting the smaller races and dragons from harm.
  • Hidden Elf Village: Angel Vale was founded by dragons seeking sanctuary from their more brutish and power worshipping kin who'd seek to destroy them for not fitting the concept of a true dragon. While originally protected by a volcanically generated veil of steam, the Angel created the Vale that gives the country its name to seal it off from the outside world. It isn't until Ashfall makes first contact and the Vale is destroyed using it as power for the spell to stop the supervolcano that they rejoin the outside world.
  • Just Before the End: Angel Vale is about to be annihilated by a supervolcanic eruption in ten days time when Shining Dove arrives. In the original timeline, it was destroyed, but Shining Loop is able to ultimately save it with the Time Twirler.
  • Karmic Jackpot: Angel Vale ends up earning the Undying Loyalty of Ashfall's population thanks to the efforts of Shining Dove and his Dragon friends in trying to prevent a supervolcanic eruption set to doom them both (as well as stop a traitorous Ashfall ambassador-turned-bigoted Serial Killer) and helping Ashfall restore their ruined country. This leads to the Ashfall ponies coming to their aid in conflicts, like the "Talon Bàis War", without a moment's hesitation.
  • Kraken and Leviathan: Angel Vale's seas have a local population of krakens who periodically menaces the coasts and ships. This is less of a problem than it would for most people as Angel Vale's population consists mostly of Dragons/Dracosaurs who are more than capable of fighting them off. They are legally a protected species in Angel Vale, and barring self-defence one can drive away but not kill them.
    • Qumado's Cherub Cove seafood restaurant has been attacked several times by a particularly persistent kraken, but it is usually punched out and dragged back to sea by Qumado and other Water Dragons well before it could even reach the piers. Barring rare occasions (such as when it brought a bigger female mate with it), it's treated as less an existential threat and more an annoying wildlife creature who frequently break in and cause trouble at an establishment trying to steal food.
    Water Dragon Waiter: [Exasperated] Oh, not again!
  • Lighter and Softer: The visual novel Angels with Scaly Wings is depicted here as an In-Universe adaptation of actual events filtered heavily through a romantic lens. As a result, some of said events' darkest moments were either alluded to or cut out entirely.
  • Lizard Folk: A good chunk of the population are 'dracosaurs', descendants of genetically engineered dragons made from prehistoric reptiles in the Second Age who Tiamat adopted as her own (and hybridized with 'natural' dragons over time).
  • Lost World: Angel Vale's geographical isolation has resulted in floral and fauna that have been extinct for all of Known History still thriving on the island, if evolved from their original incarnations.
  • Magitek: Angel Vale has researched and figured out how draconic magic works to the point of likely knowing more about it than anyone else on the planet. As such, they've figured out how to incorporate it into their technology like how Weather Factories work with Pegasus Magic.
    • Draconic Generators are pretty much artificial dragon magic cores that use the arcane reactions to create power via technology. They're notably extremely efficient and useful, to the point they quickly become in demand once Angel Vale rejoins the outside world.
    • By the time of the "Talon Bàis War", they've developed Blastfire Breath Missiles, a special missile launched by a pony co-pilot into the dragon's Breath Weapon. It then absorbs the breath weapon, taking on its properties, and finally detonating in a much more powerful blast than either the explosive charge or the breath itself would have caused. Ironically, Word of God implies that they got the idea from Draig Gwaed having the ability to absorb dragon breath, but having an upward limit on how much it could take before overloading in a huge explosion of elemental power. The Blastfire Breath Missiles work by doing something like that on purpose.
    • Ixomane Spheres are drones using a melding of technology and Gem Dragon telekinetic magic.
    • Advanced elevators in Angel Vale utilize the same magic as the Ixomane Spheres generated by Draconic Generators to function.
  • Mass Super-Empowering Event: At least two such events had mentioned to have occurred in Angel Vale, contributing to the island nation's and the wider world's new era of metabeing proliferation and super-heroism/villainy.
    • The Abyssal Attack depicted in Codex Quest(s) - where an Abyssal Great Horror attacked Angel's Coast - is looking likely to induce one, as while nobody died thanks to the efforts of heroic civilians, soldiers, metabeings, kaijus and gods, hundreds were exposed to eldritch energies and tainted blood from the Abyssal superweapon and its army of Lesser Horrors. Notable examples include Schmah aka the 'All-Seeing Martini', a former teenage con pretending to be a psychic who found himself developing genuine (and VERY potent) psychic powers due to latent potential being triggered by the Great Horror's psychic influence. It's also implied both windsurfers Amnutig and Gezeiten would also develop powers from contacting Abyssal blood contaminating the seawaters in the aftermath.
    • During the Talon Bais War, the Gaelists attempted to weaponise Shinka Rays, hoping that it would destroy their Dragon and Dracosaur enemies just like they did the Dinosaurs. Instead, the experimental bomb they dropped on an Angel Vale army not only failed to kill most of them, but had the opposite effect of temporarily empowering them into a horde of nigh-unstoppable berserk juggernauts who proceeded to utterly annihilate the Gaelist army facing them and the Gaelist research group observing the test. While the effects soon wore off for most of them, many had lasting alteration or had metagenes activated due to exposure, and it's mentioned at least one force of supersoldiers and one group of Dracosaurian superheroes would be formed from the battle.
  • Medieval Stasis: The dragons of Angel Vale rejected the stagnant nature their kind in the outside world. By the time the Veil is destroyed, Angel Vale is comparable to most advanced civilizations and has some of the most advanced power generation technology on the planet due to the Draconic Generators. This took everyone off guard due to the generally brutish nature of most dragons.
  • Monster Town: Angel Vale is an entire civilization of benevolent dragons.
  • Named by the Adaptation:
    • The dragon civilization in Angels with Scaly Wings goes unnamed, here it's dubbed Angel Vale.
    • The town the game takes place in also is unnamed, here it's given the name Cherub Cove.
  • Noodle Incident: The 'Great Electric Eel Scourge' a decade before Angel Vale's reconnection with the outside world had led to all coastal facilities becoming electrically insulated. This proved convenient in "Codex Quest(s)" when Codex Researcher Mirthful Stone, thinking quickly about how to deal with hostile sealife attacking the Cherub Cove seafood restaurant, decided to drop a dragon-proportioned electrical bug-zapper into the cove to electrocute all the sea creatures in the water, as the insulation ensured they were not affected.
  • Oh, My Gods!: The dragons of Angel Vale tend to invoke the Angel, as she's effectively their patron goddess as well as their creator.
  • Power Crystal: Their Draconic Generators are powered by gem stones in the same manner Dragons can eat them to refuel their arcane processes. As they're abundant in the Fourth Age and many species, dragons included, now how to actively grow and farm them, this makes them a very cheap form of power generation.
  • Pragmatic Adaptation: Due to differences in how Codex works and difficulties in writing the source material as one coherent story. As a result, everything pertaining to the Administrator, the origins of the dragons, and it being Earth All Along have been Adapted Out, and a single romantic option was chose as the 'canon' one while the others were turned to platonic relationships. The latter was due to the writer's difficulty writing romance in general and because of the differences between a dating sim and the story being told.
  • Race Against the Clock: Thanks to Changeling King Xestobium's actions, both Angel Vale and the neighboring kingdom of Ashfall have only ten days before the supervolcano erupts and kills everyone in Angel Vale, leaving Ashfall to slowly die in the volcanic winter. Shining Dove's main objective is to save both kingdoms from certain doom and stop Razorbill, who planned to let Angel Vale be destroyed in favor of Ashfall out of Fantastic Racism towards the Dragons. While Shining Dove fails the first time, Ourophion helps him out by giving him unlimited time to figure things out within ten days. Fortunately for everyone (and unfortunately for Razorbill), Shining Dove eventually succeeds.
  • The Republic: Angel Vale is a democracy in which the leadership, in the form of councils, are elected by the denizens to rule. It's noted this functions as a positive spinoff of dragonkind's traditional beliefs that power equals worthiness: instead of power in the traditional sense, they choose based on merit in the position to which they are elected. A Minister that poves incompetent in their position is considered unworthy and thus stripped of it. As with most examples in fiction, Angel Vale is entirely benevolent.
  • Sapient Eat Sapient: Subverted. Since its founding, Angel Vale's main residential species has always been Dragons, and as a consequence, most Dragons younger than Angel Vale as a country have never seen a 'Tiny,' let alone eaten one. Thus, unlike their mainland counterparts, eating live sapient creatures isn't something they're very interested in, though they aren't judgmental of those who eat evil people.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: The entire setting gets spared: in the True Ending, the asteroid can't be diverted, and thus all the dragons are evacuated to Earth. Here, the supervolcano is stopped and thus Angel Vale isn't destroyed.
  • Stop Being Stereotypical: The vast majority of Dragons and Dracosaurs look down on those who choose to live up to harmful Draconic stereotypes, such as being arrogant, greedy brutes who dominate others by strength, take what they want, and eat other sapient creatures. According to Web Warrior, eating sapient creatures is extremely frowned upon in Angel Vale society to the point where it is officially treated as a hate crime. It's justified as the Angel worked extremely hard to free the Dracosaurs and any Dragons who followed her from the Vicious Cycle of greed, hatred, and cruelty that brought them down, which ultimately cost her her life. Not choosing to be better and act like civilized creatures as the Angel intended them to be is treated as disrespecting not only the Angel's sacrifice, but also everything she and her followers stood for.
  • Sufficiently Analyzed Magic:
    • The core aspect of much of Angel Vale's unique technology: they studied how dragons' elemental powers work to the point they can create technology that utilizes it. The biggest example is their Draconic Generators, which are effectively artificial Draconic mana cores. While still requiring a dragon to create them, they can use their natural elemental abilities to generate massive amounts of power, only requiring abundant gemstones as fuel. It's noted Pegasi, griffons, and other races doing the same thing created things like weather factories, it's just dragons' sheer power makes their magic exceptionally viable as an energy source. It's also noted Angel Vale likely knows more about how dragonkind's magic works than nearly anyone else on the planet, which makes their technology extremely valuable.
    • They also managed to figure out each Dragon has their own unique magic signature that can be used to ID them. This screwed over a Talon Bais attempt to justify their war.
  • Summon Bigger Fish: After everything is resolved, Ashfall still has to deal with all the raider groups out in the wastelands to truly recover. Thankfully, they now have a civilization of Dragons to help them.
  • There Are No Therapists:
    • Deconstructed. The fact that Cherub Cove had no mental health facilities or access to good, competent therapists means that a lot of Dragons involved in the time loop are left suffering from untreated psychological issues. This also means that Shining Dove, who is an ambassador, was saddled with serving as Cherub Cove's unofficial therapist and saving both Ponies and Dragons from an impending natural disaster on top of his diplomatic duties. Naturally, Shining Dove later snaps from the stress and vents his frustrations on having to do everything by himself, leaving his allies feeling a little guilty for relying solely on him for everything.
    • Tormura cites reading about this in the Codex itself as the reason she moved to Cherub Cove to become a psychologist and its local therapist, inspired by Dove's actions.
  • Title Drop: The Dragons of Angel Vale have been affectionately nicknamed 'Angels with Scaly Wings' by the Ponies of Ashfall for all the aid they gave them.
  • Undying Loyalty: The ponies from Ashfall have this for the dragons of Angel Vale, as without them Ashfall would've been doomed and what was left of Duskfall would've remained lawless wasteland. As such, they are willing to risk their lives to help them in events such as the "Talon Bàis War".
  • Very Loosely Based on a True Story: In-Universe. Angels with Scaly Wings is depicted as a Lighter and Softer take on actual events that, while generally faithful to what happened, merely alludes to or cuts off the events' darkest moments entirely and depicts Shining Dove's main friends as potential romance partners. Shining Dove is not very pleased.
  • Wasteland Warlord: Ashfall was full of warlord due to having been hit by a volcanic apocalypse, ruling over what little remained.
  • We Have Become Complacent: Openly Defied: while Angel Vale has been protected by the Veil for thousands of years, they were real aware that it might fail someday after their patron goddess died to save them from a massive, wicked dragonflight. As such, they've spent all this time advancing and have an advanced army by present day.
  • Worf Had the Flu: While Draig Gwaed is a very dangerous weapon that can bypass dragon's defenses easily, it's noted one reason Razorbill was so successful with it is he always fought dragons indoors where they couldn't effectively fight back. He's still dangerous without it, but most of Dove's friends did so poorly in past confrontations because they confronted him in an enclosed facility where most of their strengths were negated or even turning them against them. As such, their plan for the Final Battle involves luring him to a wide open area.

Angel Vale Pantheon

Angel's Throne

Angel Vale High Council

    General 
  • Big Good: The High Council as a whole serves as this for not only Angel's Throne, but the entirety of Angel Vale. While many other cities and towns do have their own Ministers like Cherub Cove, all of them ultimately answer to the Ministers of Angel's Throne. Notably, the Angel's Six's actions in stopping Razorbill brought the High Council's attention to the deep, rampant corruption affecting Cherub Cove's local Council, leading to the forced resignations (and later arrests) of crooked Ministers like Ornatum and his cabal.

    General Treu, Minster of Defense 

Character: Heroic

Alignment: Lawful Good

Type: Leader, Military Strategist, Dragon (Deinonychus Dracosaur),

Faction: Angel Vale, Angel Armed Forces


General Treu (his entry here) is the current Minister of Defense of Angel Vale and one of its best strategic minds.
  • Brains Versus Brawn: As shown in how he defeated the original Natural Resurgence Front, he is shown and implied to believe that the former will always defeat the latter.
  • A Father to His Men: He cares deeply for the wellbeing of his soldiers.
  • Feathered Dragons: As an adult Deinonychus Dracosaur, he's covered in feathers and his arms have grown enough to act as gliding wings.
  • Four-Star Badass: General Treu's title isn't for show; he is a capable soldier and strategist who commands as a Frontline General.
  • Frontline General: In addition to laying down strategies he also commands from the front to ensure they are implemented correctly, fighting alongside his troops despite the risks to himself.
  • Goofy Feathered Dinosaur: Subverted: as they reach adulthood, Deinonychus Dracosaurs grow feathers over much of their body and their arms sprout enough feathers to act as a gliding wing. Treu, however, is not the least bit goofy, being a skilled warrior very capable in combat and generally refined.
  • Raptor Attack: General Treu is a Deinoychus Dracosaur, descended from one of the Dinosaur species considered 'Raptors' in popular imagination of modern times.
  • Really 700 Years Old: He is old enough to remember Angel Vale's founding, and saw 'The Angel', Angel Vale's patron goddess, sacrificing herself to create 'The Vale' which protected the island nation. Inspired by her sacrifice but also realising the implications of the Vale falling, he became the kindhearted but capable Four-Star Badass he is today, with centuries of experience to back the latter attribute up.
  • The Strategist: General Treu proved his credentials as a Four-Star Badass with many clever and effective strategies which helps Angel Vale resolve conflicts in a satisfactory victorious manner.
    • During the attempted uprising by the Natural Resurgence Front (a faction of Evil Reactionary Dragons who want the Dracosaurs of Angel Vale to go back to the 'Good Old Ways' of Might Makes Right barbarism), he not only defeated the faction militarily with minimal losses on both sides, but also defeated them ideologically by having their leaders be defeated by smaller dragon members of Angel Vale's armed forces, all but disproving their beliefs and destroying any support Angel Vale's dragons would have for them.
    • At the outbreak of the Talon Bàis War, Treu was the one who devised a plan which would allow them to hold off the onslaught of the Talon Bàisian Griffon when they launched their genocidal wars against various Dragonflights and Free Dragon nations. Knowing they would most certainly invade through the Zebrican Gate, Treu fortified the entire entry-way and used the gate to funnel the main Gaelist force attacking Angel Vale through a choke-point, where they find themselves right in the crossfires of a well-fortified and prepared kill-zone where the Angel Vale military can shoot at them with impunity without fear of collateral damage. It was not a perfect trap, as some units did get through, but Angel Vale's plan had effectively stopped the Talon Bàisian assault dead in its tracks and minimized civilian casualties. Treu himself led as a Frontline General to ensure the trap succeeds.

Department of Domestic Intelligence

    General 

    Agent Einblicka 

Foreign Security Agency

    General 
  • Cloak and Dagger: Being a foreign intelligence and espionage organisation, their forte is primarily secret spying and operations against foreign enemies of Angel Vale, although occasionally they also work against domestic threats where there's overlap.
  • Government Agency of Fiction: They're the Angel Vale equivalent of the C.I.A.

    Agent Dolch 

Diplomatic Protection Service

The Bodyguard Trio

    General 
  • Bodyguarding a Badass: All three were assigned to the Researcher Trio and their Pillars companions as bodyguards while they're in Angel's Throne, due to heightened security concerns. The Pillars are ancient heroes who lived hundreds, if not thousands of years ago prior to their sealing and reemergence in the present day, while the Researcher Trio were ordinary citizens who gradually Took a Level in Badass.
  • Two Girls and a Guy: The trio consists of two females (Geist and Körper) and one male (Herzen).

    Herzen 
A Bronze Dragon, and a member of the Bodyguard Trio. He is the "leader" of the three.

    Geist 
A Sapphire Jewel Dragoness, and a member of the Bodyguard Trio. She is the "brains" of the three.

    Körper 
A Red Dragoness, and a member of the Bodyguard Trio. She is the "muscle" of the three.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: As a young whelp, she was discriminated against for being a Chromatic Red Dragon. As Red Dragons were stereotyped as The Brute with a penchant for destruction and violence, she was either bullied to provoke a reaction from her, or talked about behind her back by people who feared what she would become. According to her, the moment she was old enough to move out, she did so and never looked back.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Upon meeting both the Researcher Trio and the Pillars for the first time, she squeals in excitement, having been greatly impressed with their heroism in Cherub Cove, and asks for their autographs. This pegs her as the most emotional member of the Bodyguard Trio.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: She's a Red Dragon, the strongest of the Chromatic Dragon types. In addition to fire-breathing, she has both Super-Strength and Super-Toughness.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: According to her, she moved out of the town she grew up in the moment she was old enough to do so, having gotten extremely tired of people discriminating against her for being a Red Dragon.

The King's Witnesses

    General 
  • Battle Cry: The King's Witnesses often shout, "For the King!" whenever they get into fights, as they worship Blue Suede Heartstrings and want to emulate him.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Being followers of Blue Suede/Caerulus, the King's Witnesses are generally nice. However, mess with them or anyone they care about (like Anya and her restuarant, Ma's Grill, which they treat as a Local Hangout), and they'll turn violent.
  • Greaser Delinquents: The King's Witnesses is a local gang of Pony and Draconic Greasers in Angel's Throne who worship Blue Suede Heartstrings, aka King Caerulus Melodia Equestria-Corporatum. Because of this, they're generally pretty nice and they accept even females and LGBTQ members.
  • Local Hangout: Ma's Grill is a frequent hangout for them. It has good food and a jukebox with music for them to jam to, and the owner of the restaurant, Anya, is a motherly Stego-Dracosaur who treats the gang like her own children. When Lacom tries to buy Ma's Grill and evict Anya, the King's Witnesses immediately join Anya's side to help fight off Lacom's goons.
  • One-Steve Limit: A group aversion; the gang share its name with the Second Age's King's Witnesses, a religious group Blue Suede Heartstrings was once part of.

    Steel Grit 
A Pegasus Greaser and the leader of the King's Witnesses.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: He went through one, according to Zene. His being an Ashfall Pony made him a target for Fantastic Racism due to the actions of Razorbill, and it's implied he was also subjected to homophobia because he fell in love with Zene, a male Quartz Dragon. While he co-founded the King's Witnesses gang with Zene to protect others from being discriminated against like he was, his experiences deeply traumatized him to the point where he developed Performance Anxiety despite being a really good singer, and started smoking to help calm his nerves.
  • Interspecies Romance: He's a Pegasus who is in a committed relationship with Zene, a Quartz Dragon.
  • Ironic Name: He's a Pegasus Greaser named Steel Grit, and he had the balls to burn Lacom's fradulent "deed" to ash with a cigarette despite the latter being accompanied by armed goons. Yet he also suffers from Performance Anxiety and PTSD from foahoold discrimination (including Fantastic Racism and homophobia), prompting him to take up smoking just to calm himself down. It's ultimately subverted, however; thanks to the encouragement and positive influence of Jade Shell, his boyfriend Zene, and others, he powers through his issues and resolves to be better, even participating in the Diner Brawl and later the climatic battle against Lacom himself.
  • The Leader: He's the leader and a co-founder of the King's Witnesses, a gang of Pony and Draconic Greasers in Angel's Throne.
  • Magic Music: He's a natural singer and budding musical mage, which fuels various spells like Super-Empowering and summoning tendrils of musical energy that turn into chains to restrain a 'Greed Growth'-transformed Lacom. According to him, his father taught him the spells himself. Unfortunately, Steel Grit suffered from Performance Anxiety, which made him reluctant to sing under the belief that he sounds bad. With encouragement from Jade Shell, Zene, and others, he ends up playing a role in Lacom's defeat. Schmutz even compares Steel Grit to a Princess Classic character from a Whinny cartoon film.
  • Meaningful Name: Steel Grit is a Pegasus Greaser who had the balls to brun up Lacom's fraudulent "deed" to Anya's restaurant with his cigarette, despite Lacom himself being flanked by multiple hired goons. Later, he becomes one of the patrons who helps Anya fight Lacom's goons to save her restaurant.
  • Oh, Crap!: He becomes extremely anxious whenever he has to sing in public. When Jade Shell asks him and his boyfriend Zene if they know any Magic Music spells, he panics and refuses to sing until Jade Shell and Zene encourage him to do it, prompting him to empower the staff and patrons of Ma's Grill so they can beat back Lacom's hired goons. He lapses again when the jukebox changes to a song different from the one he was singing, prompting Zene and their fellow gang members in the King's Witnesses to encourage him again.
  • Smoking Is Cool: He was first introduced smoking a cigarette, which he shortly flicked at Schmutz and set fire to Lacom's fraudulent "deed" to Anya's restaurant. However, it's deconstructed as he's later revealed to smoke to help calm his own anxieties, which ultimately turns out to be harmful to his physical health. After he proves himself to be a musical mage with considerable budding talent, his boyfrind Zene gets him to quit cold turkey as he wants to hear him sing more and doesn't want him to destroy his "beautiful voice".
  • Straight Gay: He's the steady boyfriend of Zene, a Quartz Dragon Greaser, though that wasn't made apparent at first glance.
  • Super-Empowering: By singing, he can empower those around him, and he can reach more by combining his Magic Music powers with Zene's. This turned out to be important when the staff and patrons of Ma's Grill get into a Diner Brawl with Lacom's hired goons, and later a climatic fight with a transformed Lacom.

    Zene 
A Quartz Dragon Greaser and Steel Grit's boyfriend.
  • Interspecies Romance: He's a Quartz Dragon who is in a committed relationship with Steel Grit, a Pegasus.
  • Make Some Noise: Being a Quartz Dragon gives him sound magic, letting him create concussive blasts of sound or help broadcast others sounds like Steel Grit's singing.
  • Meaningful Name: His name means "music" in Hungarian. He's a Greaser and a member of the King's Witnesses who worships Blue Suede Heartstrings, a musician and the Alicorn god of Musical Magic.
  • Straight Gay: He's the steady boyfriend of Steel Grit, a Pegasus Greaser and the leader of the King's Witnesses, though that wasn't made apparent at first glance.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: While generally mature with a good head on his shoulders, he let Steel Grit take up smoking and didn't stop him because it helped his boyfriend deal with issues coming from a Dark and Troubled Past. It's deconstructed later on; after the battle with Lacom, he comes to realize Steel Grit's smoking is wrong and convinces the latter to stop it because he doesn't want his boyfriend to destroy his own voice that way. He also admits to reading about the dangers of smoking, further convincing him that smoking is actually hazardous to Steel Grit's health and not a good way to deal with his issues.

Church of the Angel

    General 

    Sister Dämmerung 
Sister Dämmerung is the current Highpriestess of the Angel and an Avalarian Black Dragoness/Shadow Dragonness
  • Casting a Shadow: She's a Shadow Dragon, and thus has command of shadow and darkness.
  • The Chosen One: It turns out she was selected by the Angel's spirit personally to become the Highpriestess and made a Cleric.
  • Good Shepherd: She's the Highpriestess of the Church of the Angel, and thus genuinely heroic, benevolent, and compassionate, trying to live up to the Angel's teachings. Her Establishing Character Moment is arriving to protect civilians from Lesser Horrors. She also fully accepts Mirthful Stone's views on religion and is generally reasonable.
  • Irony: She's an Avalarian Black Dragoness, or Shadow Dragon, and she looks very close to her race's progenitor, Lady Cinder. Dämmerung is the Highpriestess of the Church of the Angel and a benevolent religious leader in Angel Vale.
  • Pious Monster: She's the devote highpriestess of the Angel and a very religious dragoness. She used to be a nun, but a vision from the Angel freed her from her vow and allowed her to travel into the outside world and act as the Good Shepherd. She even goes by the title 'Sister,' which is still accurate even after she stopped being a nun (while nuns go by the title Sister, there are Sisters who go by that name who aren't nuns and travel into the outside world to do religious work).
  • The Sacred Darkness: She's a Shadow Dragon, and entirely benevolent.

League of Powers

    General 

    Dr. Weeping Willow/Supermind 

Dr. Weeping Willow (introduced in this drabble) is a Second Age scientist who was reduced to a Brain in a Jar by his psychotic assistant and would survive into the Fourth Age as a superhero.


  • Abusive Parent: It's implied his father was not the nicest Pony and may had abandoned him to fend for himself.
  • The Ageless: His transformation into a Brain in a Jar rendered incapable of aging, even what a brain normally experiences. This allows him to survive well into the Fourth Age.
  • Arch-Enemy: For Drachenmeister, his intellectual rival and the most dangerous supervillain in Angel Vale.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Of all people, Archona, the Last Archonian was this to him as he was relieved when she came to stop him (or rather his stupid evil assistant) and saved Green Meadow, who was kidnapped to lure her to his lab in the Arctic so his assistant could transfer his brain into her body (or at least that was the plan until he realised too late that she's the wrong gender).
  • Brain in a Jar: Reduced to this after his body died of cancer, courtesy of his assistant. He's not exactly happy about it.
  • Commonality Connection: Weeping Willow and Aerri would get along over their respective experiences with cancer and horrible assistants. He would offer his assistance in Aerri's cancer cure research and was overjoyed when her group managed to beat her cancer.
  • Cyborg: Became one via putting his Brain in a Jar inside robotic exoskeletons. He was actually installed in one by his assistant, but in his utter idiocy he neglected to tell Dr. Weeping Willow that.
  • Death by Irony: He tried to cure cancer, but ends up physically dying to cancer himself.
  • Enraged by Idiocy: His assistant, Dr. Unfortunate Fowl, enraged him as much by being a moron as he did by being evil.
  • Expy: Of Dr. Wheelo from Dragon Ball Z Abridged M 10.
  • Goal in Life: Nothing short of beating cancer in all forms. He's still got a long way to go, but he's still working on it.
  • Hyper-Competent Sidekick: Subverted HARD to his detriment. Having an assistant who was anything but useful and being an idiotic, sexist, psychopathic, and utterly incompetent monster led to him experiencing a LOT of grief.
  • Rage Breaking Point: When even after Archona arrived and agreed to kill his assistant for him Dr. Unfortunate Fowl couldn't die fast enough, Willow entered a berserk rage, activated the robotic exoskeleton he was installed in the entire time (but was not informed of it by his idiotic assistant), atomising Dr. Unfortunate Fowl and fought Archona before Green Meadow calmed him down.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Unlike Abridged!Dr. Wheelo, who he's based on, he didn't die (again) of brain cancer, but survived well into the Fourth Age, tens of thousands of years later.
  • Trauma Conga Line: By his own words, he was a brilliant cancer researcher who (ironically enough) died of cancer, but had his brain transferred by his psychotically incompetent assistant into a jar, where he was left alone for fifty years, and being Forced to Watch as his idiotically evil assistant commit atrocities in his name but against his wishes such as turning his creations meant to help people into weapons. It's little wonder he was glad to see Archona arrive to stop him once and for all and also briefly experiencing a berserker rage when his assistant won't die fast enough and did him in himself inside a robotic exoskeleton (which his assistant forgot to actually tell him about).

    Durfan/Web Warrior 
The Fourth Age's incarnation of Web Warrior, succeeding the Second Age's Web Warrior. His real name is Dürfen.
  • All Webbed Up: Due to his spider powers, he has the ability to shoot webs, with glands in his mouth and each wrist. He does point out he does not have a gland in his rear end, with his expression implying he's been asked before.
  • Animal-Themed Superbeing: He has spider-based superpowers, including super agility, reflexes, Super-Strength, and Super-Toughness. He can also shoot webs, but it's unclear if that's biological or technological.
  • Big Damn Heroes: When Jade Shell is left Flipping Helpless during a fight with a Tyranno-Dracosaur goon (who turned out to be a Neo-NRF straggler), he arrives by swinging in and kicking the Tyranno-Dracosaur with enough force to send the latter flying.
  • Bystander Syndrome: Deconstructed. He refused to help stop a thief despite having gained powers from his spider bite, arrogantly believing that a superhero would take care of it. He ends up paying for his indifference when the same thief broke into his house and killed a beloved family member, and he doesn't realize his mistake until after he went after the thief in revenge and defeated him. The experience makes him vow to never again become a self-absorbed Jerkass, and he becomes a superhero to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
  • I Shall Taunt You: He often dishes out witty taunts and quips to enrage his opponents into making mistakes, making them easier for him to deal with. The only times he doesn't do it are when he's facing foes he deems to be truly despicable, such as Dragons and/or Dracosaurs who decide to give in to their predatory instincts and eat other sapient creatures.
  • Legacy Character: The original Web Warrior existed in the Second Age. Dürfen took up the name when he got spider powers.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: He is enraged whenever people try to eat other sapient creatures, to the point of dropping his usual taunts and quips. He sees the act of eating a sapient creature as the most despicable thing a Dragon or Dracosaur can do in Angel Vale (barring genuine insanity), and he mentions a few past confrontations with criminals depraved enough to give in to their predatory instincts. He also rescues a defenseless Jade Shell from being devoured by a Tyranno-Dracosaur by kicking her attacker hard enough to send the latter flying, with his following response being devoid of all snark.
    Web Warrior: (bellowing) NO EATING TALKING CREATURES ALLOWED!
  • Spider-Man Send-Up: As with the Second Age Web Warrior, he's based off Spider-Man with the expected powers.
  • Super-Strength: Despite being a Deinonychus Dracosaur, and not even a full grown one, he's incredibly strong even by dragon standards. He's capable of stopping a charging Triceratops Dracosaur's charge in its tracks, lifting them off the ground, and slamming them into the ground hard enough to knock them out. Later, he saves a completely helpless Jade Shell by swinging in and kicking her attacker, a Tyranno-Dracosaur, with enough force to send the latter flying.
  • Super-Toughness: One power he got was enhanced durability. This is fortunate, as Deinonychus Dracosaurs are normally one of the more fragile dragon species (though still tough by nondragon standards).

    Lizmark/Big Lizz 
A superheroine who also has a side job as a criminal defense attorney. Her real name is Lizmark.
  • Crusading Lawyer: She is a genuinely good lawyer who helps others, including her fellow Leaguers. Web Warrior calls her in to help Ma with the recent legal problems she's dealing with.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: She went through similar racism as Körper, but for being a Green Dragon. In her time, Green Dragons were stereotyped as Manipulative Bastards who screwed people over, and she was expected by others to do the same if she grew up. Some of her neighbors were so racist that they saw her being born Delicate and Sickly as a good thing. Needless to say, her experiences, combined with learning about the hardships innocent Chromatic Dragons go through for what they are, motivated her to move out and become both a criminal defense lawyer and a superheroine.
  • Does Not Know Her Own Strength: According to her, after she gained her "Greed Growth" ability at a young age, she had problems controlling it, leading to incidents where she ripped open doors clean off their hinges despite not intending to. She did manage to gain control over her power eventually.
  • Emerald Power: She's a Green Dragoness, which gives her a poison breath. She also has the Draconic "Greed Growth" power, but unlike most Dragons who become mindless, rampaging monsters when they do it, she can do it without any consequences whatsoever, even changing her size at will.
  • Fantastic Racism: She suffered this as a young whelp due to rampant prejudice against Chromatic Dragons at the time. Everyone expected her to grow up to become a Manipulative Bastard because she was born a Green Dragon (which in Dungeons & Dragons have a love for secrets, manipulation, and deception as racial traits), and according to her, several of her neighbors were so racist that they thought her being born Delicate and Sickly was a good thing. She eventually proved all of her detractors wrong by becoming a criminal defense attorney and superheroine, serving as a positive example for other Green Dragons while protecting them from discrimination.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: She's a Green Dragon, one of the Chromatic Dragon types that possesses both a keen, manipulative intellect and a poisonous breath.
  • Poisonous Person: As a Green Dragon, her elemental power is Poison, allowing her to spew out a poisonous breath.
  • Punny Name: Both her superhero name and her real name have the word "Liz[z]", which is a shortened form of the word "lizard". Dragons are reptilian creatures that resemble lizards.
  • Sizeshifter: Her superpower includes being able to Greed Growth at will while retaining her sanity, thus her name "Big Lizz".

    Furcht & Sturm/Double Feature 
A superhero member of the League of Powers. They consist of mix-gendered twins Furcht (female) and Strum (male).
  • Bad Powers, Good People: Furcht is a Fear Dragoness, and thus has the fitting powers. She's a superhero and very much on the side of good.
  • Blow You Away: Sturm is a Wind Dragon, and thus has wind powers.
  • Conjoined Twins: Like Deadlock, the two are conjoined twins, creating a dragon with a single body (split down the middle with their coloration) and two heads.
  • Multiple Headcase: Double Feature has two heads due to being Conjoined Twins, each being an different sibling.
  • Polar Opposite Twins: Furcht is energetic and more upfront, while Sturm is more stoic and reserved.
  • Supernatural Fear Inducer: Furcht is a Fear Dragon, and thus can use a sonic scream that can inflict fear on her enemies, among other powers.

    Heldgang/Cyberdrake 
Cyberdrake, real name Heldgang (first introduced here), is one of the younger members of the League of Powers, being a superpowered cyborg dracosaur with a great zest for life and affinity for technology.

    Sir Shining Scales, the Gleaming Champion 
Characterised prominently in Codex Quest(s), Sir Shining Scales is the last remaining member of the Order of the Shining Scales, having taken up their name in their memory. Surviving a Final Battle with the Order's Arch-Enemy Zaubauer the Sorceror, he was forced into an enchanted healing sleep for centuries before waking up in modern day
  • Arch-Enemy: Has one in Zaubauer the Sorceror, currently a member of the Circle of Fiends, who was his chivalric order's greatest enemy and the drake who destroyed it in a Final Battle long ago.
  • Cool Sword: His enchanted sword is a Magical Weapon, with its own great power allowing it to counter other magic to a degree such as that of Torquem Memorias, and cut through the eldritch auras and carapaces of Abyssal Lesser Horrors.
  • Fish out of Temporal Water: He spent many, many centuries sleeping away the ages following the Order's Final Battle with Zaubauer the Sorceror, waking up in the bewildering world of modern Angel Vale.
  • Flowery Elizabethan English: Mostly Subverted, as while he lapses back into this from time to time, he is already fluent in modern Angel Vale language and mannerism after his time spent in modern day.
  • Knight in Shining Armor: His entire schtick, being an honourable and heroic knight from medieval Angel Vale who survived and reawakened in the present. Also quite literally this as he wore an orange shining enchanted armour in battle.
  • Master Swordsman: He wields an enchanted sword in combat and is very skilled with it.

Circle of Fiends

The most dangerous group of draconic supervillains in Angel Vale, the Circle of Fiends is one of the greatest internal threats to the peace and freedom of Angel Vale.
    General 
  • Always a Bigger Fish: While Herrlich and his Neo-NRF were dangerous and could had started a reactionary uprising and civil war with their plot, they are small-fry compare to the Circle of Fiends, who are a coalition of A-List supervillains commanding a whole faction of lesser supervillains and minions.
  • Big Bad: One of several individuals and groups in Angel Vale warranting the title, but especially so collectively for the 'Fiendish Uprising' crisis.
  • The Dreaded: The Circle of Fiends are feared in Angel Vale. Even Korper of the Bodyguard Trio in Codex Quest(s) seemed unnerved by the mere depiction of them in a theme park attraction. Many drakes are reluctant to even DISCUSS their existence.
  • Eviler than Thou: The Bodyguard Trio had hinted that the Circle of Fiends makes even Herrlich and Neo-NRF look like rank amateurs with their super-villainy.
  • Legion of Doom: The Circle of Fiends is an organization led by a group of A-List supervillains with many more lesser supervillains and minions under their command.
  • Sliding Scale of Villain Threat: By and far one of the most dangerous internal threats to Angel Vale, being a Legion of Doom composed of multiple A-List supervillains commanding whole armies of mooks and lesser supervillains which is capable of threatening the entire country as demonstrated in the 'Fiendish Uprising'. Drachenmeister in particular is implied to be capable of becoming a global threat, being in the same ballpark as Overmare from the Second Age.

Major/Leader Villains

    ???/Drachenmeister 
First introduced in a Drabble, Drachenmeister - also known simply as Dragonmaster - is the Black Dragon co-founder and leader of the Circle of Fiends, and widely considered the greatest Super Villain in Angel Vale, being a devious, calculating, sauve mastermind and intellectual prodigy in science and technology in the same vein and ballpark as the legendary Overmare of the Second Age, and like her will stop at nothing at bringing Angel Vale if not the entire world under his self-perceived benevolent if iron-clawed rule.
  • The Ace: Widely considered the greatest supervillain in Angel Vale and likely one of the greatest on Fourth Age Equus as a whole, being a devious, calculating, ruthless and megalomaniacal mastermind whose intellect, competence and achievements are in the same ballpark as Overmare.
  • Abhorrent Admirer: Is considered one by Aerri, who despite his respect and even possible attraction for her considers him to be 'too much of a fucking megalomaniac' for her.
  • Actually a Doombot: Like Doctor Doom, Drachenmeister has his own series of automaton duplicates call 'Drachenbots', who on top of impersonating him could also act as his remote-controlled avatars and support weapons platforms. He is notably clever in deploying them, such as during the 'Fiendish Uprising' conflict when on top of using them to Zerg Rush his Arch-Enemy in the League of Powers, he also use them to simutaneously coordinate the vast operation and still have enough outthink his equally brilliant archenemy by tapping into their additional processing power as a Hive Mind to enhance his already considerable intellect.
  • Affably Evil: Ruthless and megalomaniacal, but also impeccably polite and strictly honourable with a dry sense of humour and a willingness to talk politely with those willing to listen. He is respected as he is feared for it.
  • All the Other Reindeer: It is heavily implied from his Drabble's description blurb that his Black Dragon heritage goes a long way in his Start of Darkness as it robbed him of any chance of showing off his brilliance and using his prodigious intellect legitimately to benefit Angel Vale, turning him into the proud and bitter Super Villain he would become who would try to take over and make Angel Vale a utopia by force.
  • Arch-Enemy: Of Prof. Weeping Willow/Supermind, his intellectual rival and member of the heroic League of Powers who served as a collective archenemy to the Circle of Fiends (and vice-versa).
  • Armor-Piercing Question: Gave one to Aerri during an attempt to persuade her to join his side, when she disagrees with his assertion that Angel Vale would be better with him in charge. One Aerri has no response to.
    Drachenmeister: Think of the heights you can take us, with those like ourselves... with me.
    Aerri: Not with you, Drachenmeister. You may be smarter and better than most drakes, but you’re still too much of a fucking megalomaniac for my taste.
    Drachenmeister: Yet even if I am, would you rather someone like me at the reins of Angel Vale then the likes of Ornatum?
    Aerri: ...
  • Armor-Piercing Response: Related to above, he would eventually get one from Aerri, who pointed out that even if he's right, his megalomaniacal belief that he could make Angel Vale and the world a utopia in his image is doomed to fail because Perfection Is Impossible, and that unlike her he cannot count on his friends (many of his fellow Circle of Fiends colleagues being untrustworthy psychos) to have his back to bring his vision to reality. He concedes she has a valid point.
  • Batman Gambit: He contacted and established a rapport with the Researcher Trio during the 'Fiendish Uprising' crisis, knowing that they are researchers of the now world-famous "Codex Equus" project who would inevitably write entries on him and his Circle of Fiends and wanting to maximise publicity in a way that would benefit him and his Circle across the world. He even flat-out told the Researcher Trio of his intent, knowing they simply have no choice under the circumstances.
  • The Chessmaster: Known for his multi-layered plots, like Changeling Emperor Blackthorn, Drachenmeister plans things in a such a way that he and the Fiends could potentially achieve multiple objectives and stem to benefit in some way no matter the outcome.
  • Cold Ham: In contrast to the bombastic Overmare, Drachenmeister is generally calm, composed and collected nearly at all times, but nevertheless still possess an inclination towards making grandiose speeches and impressive monologues.
  • Deadpan Snarker: He rather sardonically thanked the entire Angel Vale government and nearly all of Angel Vale's politicians at the start of the 'Fiendish Uprising' crisis for conveniently gathering in one place simutaneously to help make his attempted takeover much easier, as it opens them up for a Decapitation Strike.
  • Diabolical Mastermind: It takes a respectable level of both diabolical and mastermind to be able to threaten Angel Vale as a supervillain in the same ballpark as Overmare.
  • Dirty Coward: Subverted. While possessing enough Functional Genre Savvy to avoid taking unnecessary risks by exposing himself to the enemy, he made it clear that he is still willing to personally stare defeat and death in the face by personally taking matters into his own claws. As he pointed out, he would not had the respect of his minions and villainous peers today if he isn't willing to face danger and do things personally. He's implied to be offended when Gigaclaws called him out during the 'Fiendish Uprising' conflict for being a coward by doing most of the fighting with Drachenbots instead of fighting in person.
  • The Dreaded: Drachenmeister is feared by the entirety of Angel Vale as its greatest supervillain, being on the same ballpark as Overmare in intellect and ability as well as possessing similar levels of ambition and ruthlessness.
  • Establishing Character Moment: His first Drabble appearance has him making a grand entrance at a national event, politely greeting everyone present, being recognised by many with shock and dread, describe himself as Angel Vale's future benevolent leader, frankly explaining his intent to execute a regime change, and then sardonically thanking them for conveniently placing themselves to be easily removed. This immediately establishes him as a dangerous figure with a feared reputation, sauve character, grandiose ego, ruthless ambition, devious brilliance and a dry sense of humour.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Drachenmeister's personal experiences and code of honour makes him, like many dragons, to immediately regard Lauffeuer/Trotfire with disgust once his past as a neglectful/abusive father of Fremdar is brought to his attention. He made it clear later on he intends to dispose of him once he had outlived his usefulness partly because of this, though his defeat and arrest at the end of the 'Fiendish Uprising' conflict renders it unnecessary.
  • Expy: One for Doctor Doom and Overmare both in-universe and out with his ruthless ambition, honourable character and intellectual brilliance.
  • Friendly Enemy: His Affably Evil character caused him to develop amiciable rapport with his opponents even as both do their damn hardest to defeat each other.
    • He has great respect for Aerri as a fellow prodigy able to not only match but even surpass him, leading to him spending as much time trying to bring her to his side as he fights him, and is more disappointed than angry or bitter that they can't work together. It's rumoured he even developed a Villainous Crush for her, but nothing's confirmed.
    • He cultivated a friendly rapport with the Researcher Trio during the Fiendish Uprising conflict, respecting not only their heroism in earlier crises such as the Cherub Cove Tech-Terror incident but also their work as members of the Codex Equus project, as well as wanting to control the narrative to his advantage by providing non-sensitive but informative details of himself and his Circle of Fiends to help the Trio write entries about them.
  • Frontline General: Zigzagged. On one claw, he is implied to have hung back in his forward base of operations while letting his peers, minions and Drachenbots do all the work. On the other claw, he doesn't really have to but is still doing it in a fashion as he consider the Drachenbots as extensions of himself with their Hive Mind. He believes a leader should be willing to put themselves in danger if it could help achieve their goals, but still believes recklessly exposing oneself to it is stupid if it could be avoided.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: Drachenmeister's forte includes this, inventing and building incredible technology such as his Drachenbot decoys/avatars. To demonstrate his intellectual and scientific/technological prowess, he once took a look at a vehicle engine sized Draconic Generator which took a research branch three years to develop which could power a hall for weeks and need only monthly maintainence, thought he could do better, and created an entirely new Draconic Generator design which is only the size of a soup-can but could power a skyscraper for years and only requires maintainence in a half-century, and managed to do it within three hours (and apply it within three days to his own creations). It's noted that his innovations usually blows literally everything entire research organisations and national resouces could produce out of the water.
  • Hive Mind: Created one using his Drachenbots automaton duplicates, with himself as the central control at its heart. This allows him to tap into the cogitative processors of the automatons for extra thinking power to coordinate large-scale villainous schemes like the 'Fiendish Uprising' AND still have enough to spare to outthink his Arch-Enemy in the League of Powers. However, Aerri figures out the flaw in it: inflicting Sensory Overload on all of his Drachenbots at the same time also overloads Drachenmeister's senses.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: A Black Dragon whelp reveals to him he's the reason the whelp was abused for his race due to the supervillain's actions. It's implied Drachenmeister was genuinely horrified to realize that despite his best efforts, all he'd done was make his race have a worse reputation rather than help them.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: Drachenmeister noted to Web Warrior that at least in his point of view they are not so different in upholding the principle With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: both possess great power/brilliance and take it upon themselves to use it for the greater good, whether or not the world understands or apprieciates their methods or what they do for them, and because of this Drachenmeister do respect Web Warrior to a degree. Web Warrior is shakened by his words but does NOT agree.
  • Soiled City on a Hill: In his opinion, he believes despite Angel Vale's earnest attempt to be better, their system is still too flawed and its people still too hindered by their natures, self-interest, narrow-mindedness and prejudices to fully live up to its ideals of progress and allow those who actually could (those like himself and Aerri) to achieve their full potential. He fully intends on fixing this and take Angel Vale to the future - first by taking it over.
  • Take Over the World: Like Overmare, his ambition is implied by his own words to be not limited to just Angel Vale.
  • Villain Respect:
    • Drachenmeister admits he actually respects Web Warrior for his adherence to With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility, believing the truly great bears responsibility to do what is best for the world, regardless of whether the world understands or apprieciates it, and believes they are only different in how they do so or how far they are willing to go to do it. Web Warrior does not agree.
    • He's noted as having a great deal of respect for Aerri as an intellectual equal or superior who suffered in the past.
    • He comes to have a great deal of respect for Sunspot, the Volcanic Phoenix, due to the young Skylander being a fellow exceptional individual who's suffered for things outside of his control. Sunspot doesn't return it. Drachenmeister is notably impressed when Sunspot managed to melt the synthetic diamond heat shield of one of his 'control node' Drachenbots, something he'd believed impossible.
  • Villainous Crush: RUMOURED to have developed one for Aerri, and also rumoured that she reciprocates to some degree, but nothing is definitely confirmed.
  • Visionary Villain: In his own words, he want to take Angel Vale to the stars, believing that its current society and culture is flawed and want to bring it to a new age of prosperity and power under a brilliant visionary and intellect like himself. Only then in his opinion can Angel Vale truly live up to its ideals of progress and its potential. He also extends his ambition to potentially the rest of the world if he could.
  • We Can Rule Together: Respecting and sympathising with Aerri as a fellow intellectual peer held back from her full potential and greatness by small-minded drakes and the world they lived in, Drachenmeister earnestly offers her a place at his side so they could 'take Angel Vale and the world to the stars' together, keeping the offer open even when she continues to turn him down.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Like Overmare, he believes Angel Vale is better off with him in charge and fully desire to take it to a golden age of prosperity and power under his prodigous leadership. All he had to do is take it over first, whether the rest of Angel Vale liked it or not.
  • Wicked Cultured: He's noted to be impeccable and sauve in both conduct and character, strongly suggesting a drake of class and taste.
  • Worthy Opponent: Considers both Dr. Weeping Willow/Supermind and later Aerri Vaughhoof to be this, since both prove themselves to be among the few in Angel Vale and beyond who could not only remotely match but even (in Aerri's case) surpass him in intellect and ability.
  • Xanatos Gambit: In a testament of his genius, it's lampshaded that even his simplest plots, such as simply communicating with the Researcher Trio during the Fiendish Uprising, are designed in such a way that he stands to benefit in some way no matter what, making him a master of the 'Blackthorn Gambit' as they are called in-universe in the Fourth Age.

    ???/Red Rage, the Crimson Wrath 
First introduced in a Drabble, Red Rage is a Red Dragoness with the ability to control her 'Rage Growth', a form of Draconic 'Greed Growth' fueled by rage instead of Greed, making her a formidable supervillainess capable of matching Big Lizz and being one of her archenemies.

    ???/Grim Gremlin 
First introduced in a Drabble, the Grim Gremlin is the maniacal Arch-Enemy of Durfan/Web Warrior of Angel Vale in the same vein as the Azure Archfiend was the Arch-Enemy of Mulberry Park/Web Warrior of Second Age Ponyland.

    Zauberer the Sorceror 
First introduced in a Drabble, Zauberer the Sorceror is the archenemy of the superhero Shining Scales, and is an arrogant and ambitious magician from medieval times who believes Dragonkind's future lies in mastering magic and sought to turn Angel Vale into a magocracy with those like him in charge.
  • The Ace: Zauberer is, in both medieval and even modern times, considered to be one of the most formidable, brilliant and greatest Dragon magicians of Angel Vale and the wider world.
  • The Archmage: Zauberer is powerful and skilled enough in his mastery of magic to threaten Angel Vale with a takeover.
  • Arch-Enemy: Is one to a heroic Dragon knight from his time, Shining Scales, the Gleaming Champion, as he was the one who managed to defeat him back in medieval times, while Zauberer destroyed nearly the entire order Shining Scales was part of.
  • Ambition Is Evil: He's noted to be ambitious in character. He wanted to create a magocracy on Angel Vale where the greatest magicians would rule, with him and those like him being in charge.
  • Evil Luddite: Downplayed. He's not against PROGRESS or even technology per say, but he views technology as transient and less reliable than the magic they are born with and believes magic should assume a preeminent role over technology.
  • Fish out of Temporal Water: Zauberer awoke from his healing slumber to find himself in the bewildering (magi-)technologically-advanced Angel Vale of the modern era, but wasted no time resuming his villainy.
  • Hero Killer: He wiped out most of the heroic Knightly Order of Shining Scales who fought to stop his medieval reign of villainy in their Final Battle, but was gravely wounded by one of its few surviving members who would be his greatest archenemy.
  • Insufferable Genius: Noted to be arrogant, yet he is also legitimately skilled and powerful as a magician.
  • Meaningful Name: Zauberer means 'Sorceror' in German.
  • Utopia Justifies the Means: He believes Angel Vale would prosper as a powerful magocracy with the likes of him in charge and would do whatever it takes to make it a reality.
  • Villain Respect: He respected the Angel and agreed with her that Dragonkind need to grow and change in order to become better. His issue with Angel Vale is HOW it's being done.

    ???/Patriarch Pain 
First mentioned in a Drabble, Patriarch Pain is the Arch-Enemy of Cyberdrake, a charismatic and sadistic supervillain infamous for turning young dragons and dracosaurs into new generations of professional villains and meta-criminals for his and other malevolent factions' purposes.

Minor/Subordinate Villains

    Lauffeuer/Torchfire 
An Avalarian Fire Dragon and Fremder's birth father. While initially Happily Married to Limette, he drove her away due to his desire to put Fremder up for adoption for being 'defective'. His life went downhill from there, and in desperation and bitterness he turned to a life of crime - a road which together with an industrial accident would serve to make him into someone far worse and far more dangerous...
  • All of the Other Reindeer: Surprisingly well-deserved example. When word got out of Limette's divorce from him and the reason for it, his colleagues and superiors were utterly disgusted with him for how he treated his daughter, to the point his foredrake had him fired and blacklisted at first opportunity. This unfortunately set off his descend into implied supervillainy.
  • Abusive Parents: He became emotionally abusive to his daughter, Fremder, after he discovered she has non-speaking, low-functioning autism, seeing her as "unfit" and "defective". He tried convincing his wife, Limette, to put Fremder up for adoption... but underestimated how much Limette loved her daughter, leading to Limette divorcing him to protect Fremder.
  • Delusions of Parental Love: Inverted from Lauffeuer and Subverted from Fremder. Despite trying to put her up for adoption for being 'defective', he still had the gall to try and justify himself and get into Fremder's good graces when she visited him in prison after the 'Fiendish Uprising' crisis. Fremder natrually is having none of it.
  • Disappeared Dad: He's Fremder's birth father who's presently uninvolved in his young daughter's life. It's justified as he didn't like how Fremder was born autistic and tried convincing his wife, Limette, to put their daughter up for adoption so he wouldn't deal with raising an "unfit" and "defective" whelp. Limette was angered by this and divorced him to protect her daughter.
  • Elite Mook: Implied to have become one under the Circle of Fiends in recent Drabbles, having developed superpowers in an construction site accident and having turned to a life of crime in desperation and bitterness, which eventually caused him to fall in with the supervillain faction.
  • Face–Heel Turn: Downplayed as he was already a jackass, but he got MUCH worse after Limette divorced him.
  • Hope Spot: After the Fiendish Uprising conflict, Lauffeuer received a letter in prison that's apparently from Fremder, giving him hope that he could 'reconnect' with his daughter... except it isn't from Fremder, who now wanted nothing to do with him, but her fellow Hatchery hatchlings, who wrote the letter to humiliate and insult him further with crude crayon drawings depicting the Angel's Six beating him up and writing "YOU SUCK!" in capital letters. His look of slack-jaw despair afterwards made even the prison correction officers to almost feel sorry for him. Almost.
    Prison Correction Officer: Dang, those kids don't let up.
  • Humiliation Conga: His life after Limette divorced him to protect Fremder is one (well-deserved) bad thing after another. His colleagues ostrasized him for his treatment of Fremder. His fore-drake fired and blacklisted him after a construction site accident he caused. He fell into poverty and in desperation turned to crime. All this left him very embittered about his life and Angel Vale and pushed him to eventually join up with the Circle of Fiends.
  • I'll Kill You!: On the exclaiming and receiving end between him and Mirthful Stone during a climatic battle in the 'Fiendish Uprising' crisis, the latter pissed off by how low Lauffeuer had fallen to outright try and kill him, the former becoming incensed by Mirthful's Hit-and-Run Tactics and relentless insults against him.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: He despised the idea of taking care of a non-speaking, autistic whelp despite said whelp being his own daughter, and tried convincing his wife, Limette, to put Fremder up for adoption. This only serves to anger Limette, and she divorces him to protect Fremder.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He still misses Limette despite what happened between them. He had the decency to be shocked and ashamed when he found out that Limette had died and he didn't even know about it, though he refuse to accept any responsibility for his role in making it happen.
  • Everyone Has Standards: On the receiving end from many people over his treatment of his daughter Fremder. Even his top boss Drachenmeister was disgusted with him (and his duplicity by omission) when he found out.
  • The Social Darwinist: He's noted to have this attitude despite it being rare in Angel Vale thanks to thousands of years' worth of cultural drift. He saw Fremder's autism as a sign that she was an "unfit" and "defective" whelp, and tried to have her put up for adoption so he wouldn't have to raise her. This bites him in the tail when Limette divorces him to protect their daughter.
  • Super-Toughness: One of his superpowers after becoming an Elite Mook supervillain is implied to be this, as he took multiple rocket rounds from Mirthful Stone in a climatic battle during the 'Fiendish Uprising' crisis which could had taken out most dragons and vehicles in one shot.
  • Super Villain: It's implied with the recent Drabbles concerning the 'Fiendish Uprising' crisis that Lauffeuer actually became a supervillain, working under the Circle of Fiends (the most dangerous group of draconic supervillains in Angel Vale) as a high-ranking subordinate of sorts.
  • You're Insane!: He's very shocked and put off by how just almost maniacally determined Mirthful Stone, an ordinary Qilin researcher, is at trying to kill him for what Lauffeuer did to his mentally-disabled daughter (among other things) and become, exclaiming as much as Mirthful Stone tried decapitate him with a Chainsword.
    Mirthful Stone: KILL YOU KILL YOU KILL YOU RIP YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF - !
    Lauffeuer: You're out of your mind!
    Mirthful Stone: I'm thinking clearer than ever! YOURS is about to be ALL OVER THE GROUND!

Other Angel's Throne Residents

    Tātari 
An old friend of Rongoa's who serves as a tour guide for the Researcher Trio and the Pillars during their visit in Angel's Throne.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: He's the one who told Rongoa to break things off with Arbeit and get back together after her project was finished to protect them both from a potential scandal. Unfortunately, Arbeit died as a result, sending Rongoa down his downward spiral and Tātari ended up leaving to Angel's Throne when Rongoa isolated himself. They've gotten back together, but he both blames and hates himself for it.
  • You Don't Want to Catch This: During his emotional upset over what happened with Rongoa, he heads to the Angel's Bounty's male public bathrooms and pretends to have a really contagious disease as an excuse to get everyone out, then seals the bathroom door from the inside with his earth magic so he could be alone. This not only causes a holdup with everyone wanting to relieve themselves, but also gets a Dilophosaurus staff member mad at him for the public disturbance.
    Tātari: Oh... Oh dear. I was upset... I wanted to be alone. So as soon as I entered this bathroom, I pretended that I had a really contagious disease and got everyone out.
    (Whipper stares at Tātari)
    Whipper Snare: ...You gotta be shittin' me.

    Anya 
A female Stegosaur Dracosaur and owner of the diner Ma's Grill.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: She used to be married at one point, until she discovered that she's infertile. While she can still lay eggs, her infertility left all her eggs inert. Both she and her husband were devastated by this, with the latter abandoning her for it. While she pulled through and started her own restaurant, Ma's Grill, she wasn't drumming up enough business, and she was constantly harrassed by the slimy Lacom, who wanted to buy the property she owned for himself. It wasn't until a disguised Blue Suede Heartstrings visited her following the merger between Angel Vale and Ashfall that things finally turned up for her.

    Lacom 
A Green Dragon and a slimy business-drake who frequently harasses Anya, he made another attempt to buy out Anya's restaurant during the Researcher Trio's first day in Angel's Throne.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: He's a rotten business-drake to his core, persistently attempting to buy out Ma's Grill, mostly out of greed with a hint of spite.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He tries to put up a 'reasonable' and friendly facade when confronting Anya, but even the narration noted the emphasis on 'try' with no one buying it for a second and all of it dropping to reveal greed, anger and hate when his plans go awry.
  • Implied Death Threat: Downplayed, but he threatens physical violence via his goons if his schemes fail to get what he wants without them, and it's implied it's not the first time he tried it either.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After trying to buy/kick out Anya and her business from her land through questionable and outright illegal means multiple times, Lacom is caught red-clawed in a way which he cannot possible weasel his way out of as before, which would not only land him in jail but as he realised would likely wind up his already struggling business in a week.
  • Meaningful Name: Lacom means 'Greed' in Hungarian, befitting his nature as a Corrupt Corporate Executive.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: Lacom is a Chromatic Green Dragon, whose species are depicted in Dungeons & Dragons as Always Lawful Evil creatures with a preference for deception and devious intrigue, befitting a slimeball like him.
  • Unwitting Pawn: Lacom was helped along by a group of Greater-Scope Villain(s) who wanted to use his latest attempt to get at Ma to collect data on an intervening Web Warrior, one of Ma's patron customers.
  • Villainous Breakdown: His Faux Affably Evil facade quickly crumbled when Sherlock not only pointed out flaws in the 'deed' he managed to acquire which makes it even MORE invalid than Anya's own, but then saw said 'deed' burnt to ashes by one greaser pegasus patron with a flicked cigarette, and then finally called out by a mysterious stallion implied to be a remorseful Vermilion Bird who disparages him for being no different from the evil megacorporation or the brutish members of dragonkind with his greed and cruelty which the Angel sacrificed everything to free them from. This sends him into a rage and siccing his mooks on the restaurant without caring for the consequences.

    Schmutz 
A Dromaeosaurus Dracosaur and Lacom's equally crooked lawyer.
  • Amoral Attorney: Supported his client Lacom's attempt to steal Ma/Anya's business without hesitation. He's also incompetent to boot.
  • Dirty Coward: Like his client Lacom, he hid behind cover while Lacom's mooks did all the dirty work, tried to kill Mirthful with a hidden weapon while distracting him with legal jargon, and then tried to sneak out of sight when the police and Big Lizz arrived to deal with them.
  • Harmless Villain: While an Amoral Attorney, he's also a "bad" lawyer in the sense that he is incompetent, notably forgetting to make back-up copies of Lacom's "deed" to Ma's Grill in their rush to forcibly evict its owner, Anya, from her rightful property. This backfires when Steel Grit torches the deed with his cigarette.
  • Meaningful Name: Schmutz means 'Dirt' or a similar unpleasant substance.

    Schmäh 
A Deino-Dracosaur who works as both a psychic carny and a con-drake at the amusement park in Angel's Coast. He is the older brother of Tasche.
  • Big Brother Instinct: When the Abyssal Great Horror attacked Angel's Coast, his first instinct and biggest priority was to try to find his little brother Tasche. Later on, when a surviving Lesser Horror attacked Angel's Bounty, he shielded Tasche with his own body and used his previously dormant Psychic Powers to restrain the Lesser Horror, which allowed Sir Shining Scales to slice it to bits.
  • Not-So-Phony Psychic: As it turned out however, he possessed actual psychic potential, which was awakened in the Abyssal Attack due to the psychic influence of the Abyssal Great Horror and its Lesser Horrors. Even though he only just got it, he already showed incredible talent in it such as foreseeing a remaining Lesser Horror's attack at Angel's Bounty and instinctively using telekinesis to restrain it when it try to pounce on him and Tasche. A mysterious elderly stallion who is King Virtus in disguise encourage him to use it as a real psychic and also for good.
  • Phony Psychic: He was originally this under the alias of the 'All-Seeing Martini', using sleight-of-claws and a cloak full of loaded dices in order to pretend to be psychic. Portrayed more sympathetically as he was driven to this in desperation to earn enough money to take care of his little brother Tasche, and does have some self-loathing over swindling people out of their money.

    Tasche 
A shabbily-dressed Deino-Dracosaur whelp Mirthful Stone first meets during the battle with Seherin (and later Shadow Seherin). He is the younger brother of Schmäh.
  • Affectionate Pickpocket: Pretends to be a sweet and unassuming kid, but is actually a pickpocket.
  • Brats with Slingshots: Has a slingshot and not afraid to use it. While initially not very useful beyond being a distraction, it's later enchanted by Vertrauen into a magical one which could cause targets hit by his pebbles to become incapacitated by various random effects e.g. blown into confetti, marbles and gumballs, become frozen in icing, bound by tape, among other things, significantly boosting his weapon's utility.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: First introduced helping Mirthful Stone in the Codex Quest(s)'s "Angel's Throne" arc during a fight against Shadow Seherin, Tasche later takes a bigger role during the Abyssal Attack when he fell in with Mirthful's group.
  • Street Urchin: Both he and his older brother Schmäh had lived on the streets ever since their parents died. While Schmäh made ends meet by being a Phony Psychic, Tasche helped them both get by via pickpocketing.

Cherub Cove

    General 
  • Boom Town: The unearthing of the Gate and being the main hub between Angel Vale and the outside world has resulted in Cherub Cove massively booming compared to the sleepy town in the middle of nowhere.
  • Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here: If you ignore the corrupt town Ministers, the murders by a cannibalistic serial killer, discovery of a Zebrican Gate, an evil sword equipped mad-pony, time loops, a dream demon, xenophobic demonstrations, stupidly-persistent kraken infestation, a terrorist attack at its tech museum, raids by ex-Ashfall raiders, concerts by bonafide Alicorn gods and several other things, nothing really do happen much in Cherub Cove.

Cherub Cove Town Council

    Meléti, the Minister of Science 
Cherub Cove's current Minister of Science, Meléti is a nervious, clumsy, but benevolent and competent Avalarian Electric Dragoness.
  • Action Politician: While not combat trained by any means, she is capable of defending herself and personally helps against the Neo-NRF.
  • It's Personal: More from Ornatum end than hers, but they resent each other due to her replacing him, while she desposes him for being a Jerkass to Aerri.
  • Limit Break: As an Avalarian Electric Dragon, she knows their draconic magic techniques, including the Electric Fury. This manifests in the form of a huge arcing explosion of lightning. However, she's not very good at it, so it takes time to charge and using it takes everything she has. She uses it to land the finishing blow on Ornatum and his minions.
  • Motor Mouth: Speaks like a rapid-fire machine-gun due to her anxious character (and maybe Electric Dragon heritage), making it hard for others to follow her speaking sometimes (unless they are used to it like Mirthful, whose snobblish brother speaks similarly)
  • Nervous Wreck: Is noted to be rather nervous/anxious in character.
  • Nice Girl: Nervousness aside, she's a very much nicer, more reasonable and fairer than her predecessor Ornatum. She's very sympathetic to Aerri for instance and did everything possible to be supportive of her and her projects.
  • Redeeming Replacement: She replaced Ornatum as Cherub Cove's Minister of Science, and is much nicer, reasonable, and fair.
  • Shock and Awe: Is an Avalarian Electric Dragoness and has natural electric abilities.

    Feuerstelle, the Minister of Infrastructure 
Feuerstelle (first introduced here) is Cherub Cove's Minister of Infrastructure.
  • Action Politician: She's well aware of the dangers of being in public office, and is more than prepared to defend herself when needed. She helped Tere take down the thugs that Vize, a slumlord, sent after her.
  • Nerves of Steel: She's noted as being unflappable in the face of intimidation and danger. This is shown when she shrugs off Vize's attempts to intimidate or bribe her, even after she sent thugs to threaten her.

    Schirmen, the Minister of Security 
An Allo-Dracosaur who serves as Cherub Cove's Minister of Security.
  • Gentle Giant: While his kind is smaller than Tyranno-Dacosaurs height-wise, he's a large-sized Dracosaur and a Reasonable Authority Figure who's dedicated to doing his job in contrast to Ornatum and his corrupt cabal. He was also an old partner of Tere's in Cherub Cove's police force; while they had since gone their separate ways (Schirmen going into politics while Tere became the police chief), they still stayed good friends.

    Bürgerkopf 
A Veloci-Dracosaur and head of the Cherub Cove Town Council.
  • Large and in Charge: Inverted. Quite a few tourists in Angel Vale were flabbergasted to discover the mayor of Cherub Cove is actually a tiny Velociraptor Dracosaur, having expected him to be much bigger.

Former Members

    Ornatum (Unmarked Spoilers) 
The former Minister of Science in Cherub Cove, Ornatum was Aerri's former superior who bore a grudge against her, doing everything in his power to undermine and humiliate the 'upstart' out of petty envy of her greater brilliance than him. When his abuse of power and general corruption was exposed, he was forced to resign and was replaced by the more kindhearted and supportive Meléti, a fact which he still greatly resented.
  • Arch-Enemy: Ornatum serves as one for Aerri, as prior to the time loop, he abused his position as Aerri's boss to ruin her life and career, even getting her killed indirectly via her cancer. During the Codex Quest(s), it's revealed his entire reason for antagonizing Aerri is because he always felt jeallous of A Erri's superior intellect and scientific talents, and wants her out of the way so he'll remain the smartest Dragon in Angel Vale. After he was forced to resign by Angel Vale's High Council for his crimes and replaced by the more benevolent Meléti, Ornatum goes on a quest for Revenge against the two Dracosaurs who "wronged" him, ultimately turning traitor and siding with Herrlich's Neo-NRF faction to achieve his own goals.
  • Ascended Extra: His counterpart in the supplementary comic Angels With Broken Hearts only appears briefly at the start of Anna's storyline (though sets the entire plot of that portion in motion). Here, he's expanded into a full character and was basically Cherub Cove's Big Bad.
  • Big Bad: Due to leading a cabal of corrupt Ministers in Cherub Cove, he was ultimately responsible for a large amount of the town's problems and dirty dealings. This is more direct with Aerri and Limette, who he directly antagonized, and actually killed in the latter case. Discovering his alliance with the Neo-NRF terrorists and involvement in the museum attacks is what motivates Aerri and her group (consisting of herself, Jade Shell, Schurke, Meadowbrook, Verehrt, and Mistmane) to go and stop him.
  • Big Bad Duumvirate: Ornatum shares the role of main antagonist of the "Cherub Cove Technologies" arc with Herrlich, assisting the latter in pulling off the Neo-NRF's attack on the Cherub Cove Technologies museum. While Herrlich is the one calling the shots, Ornatum is on equal standing with him and his own reasons for joining the Neo-NRF amounts to killing Aerri and Meléti in revenge for upstaging and replacing him as Minister of Science, respectively.
  • Broken Angel: While mid-air, Ornatum loses one of his wings thanks to Jade Shell using her (untested) hydrokinetic control over non-water liquids to splash said wing with Aerri's combustion spit, combusting it into shreds and sending him falling to the ground.
  • Deadpan Snarker: He has his moments, usually when things don't go the way the Neo-NRF wanted them to go.
  • Enemy Mine: He doesn't particularly care for the Neo-NRF's cause; he just helped them in exchange for a chance to get back at Meléti and Aerri for replacing and upstaging him, respectively.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: As little love or respect he has for Herrlich and his Neo-NRF terrorists despite working with them, even he was aghast when he saw some of them and their security automatons being utterly massacred by Ebon Drakes Chapterknights allied with Tere's group, although this is less sympathy for their suffering and more from the sheer carnage and terror of the situation.
  • Evil Genius: He's a very intelligent Dragon, enough to warrant him being the Minister of Science, but his resentment of Aerri for being smarter and his attempts to have her killed for it put him squarely under this. After siding with Herrlich, he served as Mission Control for the Neo-NRF terrorists, as his command over the security control room meant he is able to observe all the floors of the museum and keep stock of both the Neo-NRF and their enemies' activities.
  • Evil Is Petty:
    • He had Limette's husband murdered and arranged her death because he and his cohorts didn't like her teaching her students the values of tolerance and openmindedness, which underminded his ability to keep others from rivaling his intelligence.
    • The entire reason why he tried to ruin Aerri's life, to the point of helping reactionary terrorists, was that he envied and resented her for being a smarter and more talented prodigy than him, and couldn't stand her upstaging him. He also hates Meléti simply for replacing him after he was forced to resign from his position, seeing her as an usurper who doesn't deserve his rightful position. This becomes more apparent as Aerri's group realizes the implications of his alliance with the Neo-NRF terrorists — he wants to reduce Angel Vale's Draconic population to a Stone Age-like existence so he could lord over them as the only smartest Dragon in the nation.
    • This eventually bites him hard during Aerri's group's confrontation with him during the museum attack. While Ornatum had the opportunity to spring the trap on Aerri's gorup as soon as they entered his kill box, he needed to see Aerri realize he outsmarted her first before springing his trap. Aerri realizes this and instead taunts Ornatum about his pathological need for validation, distracting him long enough for her allies' counter-plan to be put in motion.
  • Fatal Flaw: Ornatum's biggest flaws all stem from his pride. His fragile ego means he took Aerri being smarter than him as a personal slight and sought to ruin her life utterly. His entire reason for helping the Neo-NRF was to take revenge on Aerri and Meléti after his position was lost due to his own actions, which he blames them for. This is ultimately his undoing, as his need to prove he's better than Aerri is a major reason his plans ultimately fail.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He held a composed, stoic and dignified demeanour, but it's a mask to hide his true petty, envious and arrogant character, and his mask slips whenever he gets angry.
  • Foil: To Aerri. Both are intelligent dragons with massive egos and willingness to take big risks to reach a goal that is of vital importance to them, and both don't have much compassion for others. However, where Aerri's ego comes from legit confidence in her own abilities, Ornatum's comes from his extremely fragile ego. Where Aerri was taking risks to save her life and never endangered anyone else in that pursuit, Ornatum is solely trying to maintain his own position and status at the cost of others. Where Aerri's lack of compassion came from being horribly mistreated and she is quite capable of it when she realizes someone truly cares about her, Ornatum genuinely has a Lack of Empathy. Aerri also creates all of her own work and gives credit to the work of others she used, while Ornatum is a serial plagiarist who dresses other's work up as his own.
  • Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Wears glasses, is pretty intelligent, but most importantly an unrepentantly petty and envious jackass.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: He held massive, petty enmity for Aerri over her being a prodigy smarter than he is and could upstage him. This is his undoing, as he can't resist holding back triggering his trap on Aerri's group without seeing Aerri realize, directly or indirectly, he'd outsmarted her and proved her better. He can't tolerate her proceeding to actively deny him that, distracting him long enough for their counter plan to go off.
  • Insufferable Genius: Downplayed as while very intelligent, he's not the smartest dragon around; that position belongs to Aerri, a natural prodigy. Nevertheless, he thinks he's smarter than most and possesses an insufferable ego over it which makes him envious of anyone who surpasses and shows him up on it, like Aerri. This gradually backfires on him as in his arrogance and obsession with upstaging Aerri, he forgets to watch for anything else that might potentially become a threat like the Researcher Trio, the Pillars, and other members of the Angel's Six who got trapped with them in the museum.
  • "It" Is Dehumanizing: He frequently refers to Jade Shell, a young Great Tortoise and the only member of Aerri's group available to help take him down, as Aerri's "attack pet". This not only shows how insufferable he is, but also how he couldn't comprehend the very idea of Aerri, a super-genius, working together with others to achieve a goal. It later bites him in the flank when Jade Shell, with Aerri's help, becomes instrumental in his defeat, notably by crippling him in the wings and smashing the gauntlet that controls his powered armor's many functions.
  • It's All About Me: Ornatum's entire reason for antagonizing Aerri, even trying to have her declared guilty on false charges and thrown in prison where she would definitely die of her cancer, is because he always resented her for being smarter than him. He would extend his grudge to Meléti, whom he saw as an usurper to his old position as Cherub Cove's Minister of Science. During the Neo-NRF's attack on the Cherub Cove Technologies museum, Aerri and her allies realize Ornatum joined the Neo-NRF because their plans for a more primitive Draconic society would let him remain the smartest Dragon in Angel Vale.
  • It's Personal: While he always despised Aerri for being an even smarter genius than him, Ornatum's resentment and envy evolved into outright hatred after his corruption was exposed and he was forced to resign as Minister of Science, believing Aerri ruined his life. His feelings extend to Meléti, who he sees as an usurper to his old position despite her earning it through her own merits.
  • Jerkass: The sheer pettiness he showed to Aerri out of envy must be seen to be believed. This persists even after he was forced to resign, adding Meléti to his emnity list.
  • Kick the Dog: After learning that Aerri had cancer, he doubled his obstructive efforts to prevent her from finding a cure so she could die from it — even getting her arrested on false charges so she could die wasting away in prison, which Aerri considers to be a Cruel and Unusual Death for her as she also had a Mortality Phobia at the time.
  • Laser-Guided Karma:
    • After Aerri helped save Angel Vale from Razorbill and the supervolcano and national attention was drawn to Cherub Cove due to the Zebrican Gate, Ornatum's misdeeds against Aerri and countless others were exposed and he was forced to resign.
    • His decision to turn traitor and help the Neo-NRF terrorists stage a reactionary revolution in Angel Vale backfires massively, as despite his intelligence and cunning, his arrogance makes him miss many factors that ultimately became his and his backers' undoing, like Gerald and his grandkids Gen and Glenn, the Research Trio, the Pillars, and any members of the Angel's Six who got trapped in the museum during the Neo-NRF terrorists' hostile takeover. He also fails to account for the possibility that Aerri might be smart enough to team up with all the aforementioned individuals to take him down, which also becomes his undoing. Even his last plan to spite his enemies — sabotaging the controls to lift the lockdown and thus deny them the satisfaction of defeating him — is foiled, leaving him to rage impotently as he is arrested, tied up, and dragged away by Schurke.
    • And during his fight with Aerri and Jade Shell, he frequently refers the latter as Aerri's "attack pet", not caring that she's a sapient creature. This bites him in the flank when Jade Shell, with Aerri's help, manages to cripple him and ruins his power armor by smashing the gauntlet used to operate its many functions. Jade Shell even makes it clear that she's not a pet before doing this.
    • His arrest results in his home being raided for evidence (after Sulfura already robbed him blind), exposing his murder of Limette and her husband.
  • Mecha-Mooks: Ornatum was responsible for providing the Neo-NRF with these during their mueseum operation by subverting the place's cutting-edge security system and reprogramming its army of security automatons. During his confrontation with Aerri's group, he went to battle backed by several high-end military automatons that he plagiarized off of Aerri's designs, forcing the others to fight them off and leaving only Aerri and Jade Shell facing him personally for much of the fight.
  • The Mole: He was the mole Herrlich and his Neo-NRF terrorist group in their Cherub Cove Technology Mueseum and Tech-Fair operation, using his former status as the previous Minister of Science to access the central security system and help lock it down, then acted as Mission Control for them.
  • Motive Rant: After being outsmarted and upstaged by Aerri's group one time too many, he finally snaps when Aerri and Jade Shell distract him by combining their powers to create a huge steam cloud. He goes on a huge rant about his desire to upstage Aerri as the smartest Dragon on Angel Vale — even extracting her brain and using it as his own — while shooting through the cloud wildly and hitting his own hench-drakes. It's what causes Aerri to deem him too pathetic to kill.
    Ornatum: You piece of drake-droppings! You think you can upstage me with that brain of yours, Aerri?! When I find you, I'm gonna destroy everything you love! I'm going to wipe your name from the annals of history and replace it with mine! Even turn you into my own lab rat, extract your brain, and use it as my own! No-Drake will replace me as the smartest Dragon in Angel Vale! You HEAR ME?! NO-DRAKE!
  • Murder by Inaction: While the murder of Limette's husband was Ornatum's doing as he hired a hitdrake to kill him, Ornatum was indirectly responsible for Limette's death as one of his corrupt cohorts, Heilung, the Minister of Medicine at the time, blocked her from any medicine or treatments that would have helped cure her illness, and let nature run its course.
  • Narcissist: Ornatum has all the symptoms of narcissism: his driving motivation is the need to be the smartest dragon in Angel Vale and absolute refusal to accept that he's not. He's so self-absorbed that he'd rather help terrorists take over Angel Vale just to satisfy his ego. He can't stand others not seeing him as the smartest to the point Aerri being smarter than him is viewed as a personal slight. He can't accept that he was booted from his position because of his own transgressions, instead blaming Aerri and his successor for it. He's so fixated on keeping his position that a large part of his plan is to set up a version of Angel Vale where he's the smartest by default. He also tends to fly into a rage when his ego is bruised in any way. Aerri exploits this by deducing he couldn't kill her without trying to make her accept he'd outsmarted her and proved her better first.
  • Never My Fault: Fitting with his status as a clinical Narcissist and sociopath, Ornatum can't accept that his disgraceful loss of his position as Cherub Cove's Minister of Science was his own fault, or take responsibility for any of his own screw-ups.
  • Not So Stoic: While maintaining a dignified demeanour, it's a mask which could slip when he's stressed, terrified or angry enough to reveal the true rotten character hiding beneath it. It completely falls apart as his plans failed and he's increasingly frustrated by Aerri's group refusal to be defeated.
  • Obstructive Bureaucrat: He used every dirty trick he could think of both in and out of the book to undermine and obstruct Aerri and made her life and career miserable, from blocking grants on points of procedure to even having her lab raided by the police and Aerri thrown to prison. And yes, he knew she was dying from cancer - and deliberately did everything possible to prevent her from finding a cure so she can die from it.
  • Oh, Crap!: He freaks out and rants to Herrlich when he overheard Tere's group managing to contact the outside world, realising not only the authorities of Angel Vale know what they're up to, but also WHO had been responsible for the whole situation — including his own presence and role in it — as it means he's now a wanted criminal who can never get back his post or salvage his tanked reputation.
  • The Plan: His entire plan to take out Aerri's group when they finally arrived to confront him at the mueseum central control room was to lay a three-layered trap in the atrium just outside of it, where he would use special devices to neutralise their elemental powers, weapons and other magics, then order his drakes to open fire on them with everything they have, then he would personally move in to mop them up. Even if any one part failed he would still face them after putting himself in a position of overwhelming advantage. Unfortunately for him, his own arrogance and pettiness, Aerri's group's adaptability and resilience, as well as multiple factors beyond his control all ultimately worked against and ruined it.
  • Powered Armor: His trump-card is a suit of heavily-armed powered armor which he wears and uses during his fight with Aerri's group. As Aerri points out, it was just a suit of prototype military armor he plagiarized and tried to call his own.
  • Properly Paranoid: One scene in Codex Quest(s) where he's helping the Neo-NRF revealed that he is aware of Aerri's chances of reaching him, and had made preparations for a fight in the central security control room he and his lackeys are in just in case with one of his own projects.
  • Smart People Wear Glasses: Wears specs and is pretty intelligent, if insufferable in character.
  • Smug Snake: Ornatum has a gigantic ego and believes he's smarter than Aerri or anyone else. As Aerri points out, not only is he not as smart as he thinks he is, most of his gadgets and innovations are ones he stole or claimed credit for rather than his own.
  • Stealing the Credit: As Aerri points out, Ornatum has a habit of taking credit for others' ideas or rebranding their creations as his own.
  • The Sociopath: Ornatum has all of the hallmarks of a sociopath: complete Lack of Empathy for anyone other than himself, ability to manipulate others to the point of being electic to public office, willing to take a massively risky gambit in an attempt to secure his position and take revenge for his ego being bruised, and a grandiose sense of self-worth in general.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: Feels this way regarding others due to his own intelligence and looks down on others for not measuring up to his own intellect and achievements. He's very condescending to Herrlich and his troops even when he is working with him to execute Herrlich's operation at the Cherub Cove Technology Mueseum and Tech-Fair.
  • Too Clever by Half: Even where he is legitimately clever, he is often undone by his own arrogance and pettiness. His actually well thought-out plan to take out Aerri's group for example was foiled by Jade Shell's clairvoyance, Aerri's quick thinking and Gen's hacking sabotage.
  • Villainous Breakdown:
    • Over the course of the Final Battle between Aerri's group with him his composure slipped increasingly as he was met by setback after setback. And after he was defeated and he saw his last ditch attempt to deny them any meaningful victory rendered void by Aerri's quick thinking, he is reduced to an undignified tantrum in his bonds, screaming and ranting about how unfair it is and how Aerri and Meléti didn't deserve to have the greatness that should have been his.
    • He has another one after Aerri visits him in jail to inform him of Limette's Ascension to demi-godhood and subsequent resurrection, outright stating that it was to deny him any measure of joy or victory he felt for killing her and giving him the double middle finger for good measure. He would have a massive meltdown in response, to the point of needing to be sedated.

    Heilung 
Heilung is a Gold Dragon and the former Minister of Medicine for Cherub Cove, being part of Ornatum's corrupt cabal.
  • Arc Villain: He serves as an antagonist for the CCPD's arc in the Angel Vale Retcons, having been put back into power and given a nudge to try and kill Tere by Honeyguide.
  • Corrupt Politician: Heilung is a corrupt politician who abused his position as Minister of Medicine to arrange deaths and deny medicine to those he personally deems as unworthy of help or life.
  • Dragged Off to Hell: After Schurke kills him during the "Angel Vale Retcons" event, he finds himself faced with Fret Pick, Askar, and all his other victims before being dragged off to the Hellrealms for eternal punishment.
  • Enemies with Death: Justified. During Heilung's tenure as Minister of Medicine, he denied many Dragons and Dracosaurs proper healthcare under the excuse of "weeding out" the unworthy, causing them to die horrible deaths. Naturally, his victims started holding grudges against him — including Askar, who died because of Heilung's manipulations and initially wanted to come Back from the Dead just to kill him, but changed his mind and decided to become an Angel of Death instead. Once Heilung is killed by Schurke during the "Angel Vale Retcons", both Askar and many local and foreign Reapers immediately took the chance to drag Heilung off to Angel Vale's Hell-Realms for his crimes.
  • Hypocrite: He claims to be letting nature run its course by denying medication to "the weak", yet abuses strength-enhancing steroids to increase his strength well beyond what's natural. When confronted postmortem by Reapers like Fret Pick and Askar, and the huge number of victims who died from his malpractice, it turns out his darwinistic beliefs are a load of bull — he is actually a sniveling coward who wanted an excuse to justify his Greed.
  • Irony: Heilung was Cherub Cove's Minister of Medicine... but a steroid abuser himself.
  • Karmic Death: He's ultimately killed by Schurke, the older identical twin brother of one of his victims. For added karma, he was killed by having his throat ripped out — the same way his actions nearly caused Askar to kill Tere after Askar regressed into a feral Serial Killer.
  • Psycho Serum: He abuses steroids, including certain types that functions as a power boosting drug that numbs pain. He's shown to become more violent when on them.
  • Slashed Throat: Schurke kills him by tearing his throat out.
  • "You!" Exclamation: While fleeing from Fret Pick, he utters "You-!" when he meets a furious Steel Dragon who looks almost exactly like Schurke. It's actually Askar, Schurke's younger identical twin brother, who punches him in the face in retaliation for setting him up to die "like a rabid dog" in life. It turns out Askar became a Reaper specifically to hunt down the one responsible for his degradation and death, and drag him off to his well-deserved punishment.

    Rajin 
A Tricera-Dracosaur and the former Minster of Infrastructure.
  • Adaptational Karma: in [Angels with Scaly Wings, Emera didn't get any real retribution for her abusive behavior towards Remy. Rajin, however, ends up being forced to treat him better or else her actions would be exposed to the world and Rongoa actually has enough of a reputation to prove it, something she decidedly doesn't want. While she isn't given direct retribution, it's solely because Rongoa chose to show her mercy, and she lives the rest of her time as his boss in fear of him actually taking revenge (which he has zero interest in due to his pacifist beiefs). After she leaves office, her actions are exposed, but Rongoa specifically goes out of his way to make sure both her positive and negative actions are revealed in equal measure.
  • Expy: Of Emera, Remy's abusive boss.

Cherub Cove Hatcheries/Daycare

    General 
  • Adaptational Badass: The caretakers of the hatcheries/daycare are full-grown Dragons and Dracosaurs, and are prepared to handle anyone who threatens the hatchlings and children. And as several Ashfall Pony raiders learn the hard way, even the young whelps get in on the action, using their sheer numbers and racial Elemental Powers to overwhelm their would-be kidnappers and subject them to a most humiliating fate (i.e. being used as toys, forced to play dress-up, shrunk and kept as pets in jars, and other things). One Ashfall raider who managed to escape described the attacking whelps as "demons from hell".
  • Fantastic Racism: The attacks on the hatcheries/daycare were primarily motivated by anti-Dragon/Dracosaur racism. During the "Angel Vale Time Loops", Razorbill stole a bunch of eggs for the purpose of raising them as slaves, only to later use the eggs as bait to lure Tere into a trap — killing both Tere and the eggs in the ensuing explosion. Some years later, a squadron of Ashfall Pony raiders tried repeating the same feat, except they intend to profit by selling the eggs, hatchlings, and whelps on the black market. Both parties see the local Dragons and Dracosaurs as nothing but "trouble" and therefore are worth the same as mindless beasts in their eyes.
  • Orphanage of Love: The Cherub Cove Hatcheries and Daycare also serve as an orphanage for infant hatchlings and whelps whose parents either died or abandoned them. The Dragons and Dracosaurs who work there are very kind and loving, and make sure to give their young charges all the love and protection they can provide.

Angel's Whelps

    General 
  • Kid Hero: While they're young children (or "whelps" in Draconic terms), they've all participated in their own heroics, whether it be stopping a trio of mischievous whelps from stealing the Researcher Trio's wands/staves, or helping the adults rescue multiple eggs, hatchlings, and other whelps from being kidnapped by Ashfall Pony thugs as part of a nefarious plot.
  • Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Like the Angel's Six, the Angel's Whelps are a motley crew of young whelps of different Draconic species. The members consist of a Parasaurolophus Dracosaur (Klang), a Triceratops Dracosaur (Virág), a Bronze Dragon (Villám), a Smog Dragon (Lavender), a Wind Dragon (Luft), a Avalarian Fire Dragon (Fremder), a Dracosaur hybrid (Arbey), and a Sapphire Dragon (Blau).
  • True Companions: Much like the Angel's Six, the Angel's Whelps are very close friends and work well together, especially under Blau's leadership. They're also understanding of Fremder's disabilities and treat her like one of their own regardless.

    Arbey 

  • An Ice Person: She got ice powers from her father.
  • Artificial Hybrid: Due to Aerri splicing her DNA into her while saving her, she's an artificial Avalaran Ice Dragon/Deinonychus Dracosaur hybrid. It's noted this is normally completely impossible, as dragon races work like pony tribes do and the child is normally one of the races in their genome, not a hybrid, but Aerri's splicing made her a true hybrid.
  • Expy: Of Amely, Remy's long-lost biological daughter.
  • Ideal Illness Immunity: The genetic modifications that Aerri gave her makes her completely immune to poison and disease.
  • Playing with Fire: She got Aerri's combustion breath as a consequence of the gene splicing.
  • Ultimate Lifeform: A drabble reveals Aerri's gene splicing worked and she's biologically immortal.
  • Yin-Yang Bomb: She has both ice and fire powers due to Aerri's genetic tampering.

    Fremder 

  • Adaptational Badass: Vara is a young Dragon child whose only role in Angels with Scaly Wings is to highlight the tragedy of her family situation (and there the monstrosity of Reza's actions in killing her). Here, because Shining Dove saved her from what would've been her fate, she takes on a more active role and is capable of fighting even grown Ashfall Pony raiders when they invade the hatcheries/daycare with intent to kidnap her age-mates. It's ultimately downplayed as she's still a young child by Dragon/Dracosaur standards and whenever she does fight, it's usually when her friends and/or other friendly adults are there to support her.
  • Adaptation Species Change: While it's not known what Draconic species Vara is in canon, here, she's specifically an Avalarian Fire Dragon.
  • Cute Mute: Fremder is a cute little dragoness, about seven years old, and is confirmed to have nonverbal Autism, and thus is genuinely mute. She normally communicates via writing.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Her birth father, Lauffeuer, didn't like her being autistic and tried to put her up for adoption for being "defective". She gains a much more loving stepfather in Schlüssel when her mother divorced Lauffeuer and remarried, but shortly after, both her parents are killed by Ornatum and his cabal of corrupt Cherub Cove Ministers — Schlüssel by a hired hitdrake, and her mother, Limette, via Murder by Inaction thanks to the Minister of Medicine's machinations. For some time, she tried helping Limette not knowing her mother had already died by then, and she was left in the care of the Cherub Cove Hatcheries/Daycare after Shining Dove finds her. Then she herself is murdered by Razorbill during a few time loops. Fortunately, Shining Dove's actions ultimately end up saving her life, and things turn up for her from there.
  • Emotionless Girl: Justified; she rarely emotes, which is due to being born with a form of low-functioning autism where she never developed the ability to speak and has difficulty emoting. It's subverted, however, in that she does have the full range of emotions and can express them, but has difficulty in doing so.
  • Expy: Of Vara, Remy's adoptive daughter.
  • Handicapped Badass: She has non-speaking, low-functioning autism and thus is mute. She's surprisingly capable of taking on mischievous whelps and and full-grown Pony raiders from Ashfall, and has the ability to breathe fire, though she generally doesn't fight without the help of her friends.
  • Happily Adopted: After her mother's death, she's adopted by Rongoa.
  • Interspecies Friendship: She's an Avalarian Fire Dragon whelp who ends up befriending Jade Shell, a Great Tortoise and fellow autistic.
  • Karmic Jackpot: Invoked with Jade Shell. Jade Shell befriended her by figuring out how to communicate with her despite her mutism, and later sings for her when she suffers from Sensory Overload in the egg hatcheries. Later, she comes to Jade Shell's rescue when the latter comes close to a meltdown herself from being swarmed by curious whelps, telling her fellow age-mates (non-verbally) that Jade Shell is autistic and they should respect her personal space.
  • Playing with Fire: She's a young Avalarian Fire Dragon, and thus can breathe fire.
  • Sensory Overload: As part of her autism, Fremder can be overwhelmed by too much or too intense sensory information, such as the alarm in the egg hatcheries.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: In Angels with Scaly Wings, Vara is murdered by Reza in one ending. Here, she is able to survive thanks to Shining Dove's actions in saving Angel Vale and stopping Razorbill.

    Blau 
Blau is a young Sapphire Dragon who is the biggest and oldest of the Angel's Whelps.
  • Blue Is Heroic: He is a Sapphire Dragon, which are blue-scaled, and he's a heroic member of the Angel's Whelps.
  • Breath Weapon: His breath weapon is revealed to be a rather intense psychic scream that inflicts fear and panic on those who were hit by it. It's implied that his breath weapon doesn't discriminate, either, as evidenced by his Elective Mute status and him telling everyone to cover their ears before using it.
  • Cool Big Bro: As the biggest and oldest of the Angel's Whelps, he has this vibe. He was introduced helping Fremder tell the other whelps to stop agitating Jade Shell (who was suffering from Sensory Overload due to her mild autism), with him writing on a whiteboard, "One at a time please!" so Jade Shell wouldn't have a meltdown from trying to deal with so many whelps at once. He's also the first to take action in serious situations, using Telepathy to issue orders and direct his friends on what to do.
  • Delinquent Hair: Sort of; his head and back spines mimic a greaser's pompadour. It's subverted as he isn't a delinquent at all.
  • Elective Mute: Unlike Fremder, who was born mute, her friend Blau is capable of talking verbally but chooses to stay mute, instead communicating with Telepathy. Later, he turns out to have a good reason for it — his breath weapon is essentially an intense psychic scream that inflicts fear and panic on those who were hit by it. When he verbally apologizes to Fremder for not protecting her from Spring Trigger's arrows, his voice is naturally raspy from years of disuse.
  • Forgiveness: When he apologizes to Fremder for not protecting her from Spring Trigger's arrows, Fremder forgives him and lets him know she doesn't blame him due to the circumstances involved.
  • Greaser Delinquents: Subverted; while he wears a leather jacket and his head/back spines mimic a pompadour, he isn't a delinquent. His appearance was inspired by Blue Suede Heartstrings, whom he idolizes.
  • Hell-Bent for Leather: He wears a leather jacket.
  • The Leader: Implied; when a trio of mischievous whelps led by Schaden stole the Researcher Trio's weapons, he was the first to take charge, directing his friends in dealing with Schaden and Erde after the third whelp got caught stealing Sherlock's Magic Staff early on.
  • Meaningful Name: His name means "blue" in German, and he's a blue-scaled Sapphire Dragon. He also idolizes Blue Suede Heartstrings.
  • Mind over Matter: He has psychic telekinesis.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Seeing Fremder being shot in the leg by an Earth Pony raider out of spite shocks him into verbally speaking instead of speaking with Telepathy as he usually does. It also provokes him into letting out a rather intense psychic scream that inflicts fear and panic on all raiders present in retaliation for his friend's injury, disorienting and weakening them.
  • Psychic Powers: As a Sapphire Jewel Dragon, he has powers like Telepathy and psychic telekinesis. He mainly uses telepathy to talk and issue orders to his friends in a pinch.
  • Supernatural Fear Inducer: His breath weapon is essentially a rather intense [[superScream psychic scream]] that inflicts fear and panic on those who were hit by it.
  • Telepathy: He has telepathic powers. He mostly uses this to communicate in place of talking.

    Lavender 

  • Meaningful Name: Her name refers to the lavender plant, which has a fragrant smell and is cultivated for herbal and culinary purposes. This is fitting considering she's a Smog Dragon whelp with poison magic.
  • Poisonous Person: She's a Smog Dragon, which gives her the power to exude poisonous gasses or just non-lethal but foul-smelling ones.

    Klang 

    Luft 

    Virág 
  • Meaningful Name: His name means "flower" in Hungarian, and he's a Triceratops Dracosaur whelp who loves plants.

    Villám 

Other Hatchery/Daycare Residents

    Schaden 
  • Bratty Half-Pint: Schaden is a troublemaker par excellence. When the Researcher Trio visited the Hatcheries he and his pals' idea of a good time is to try and steal their magic wands and staves.

    Erde 

    Reinigen 
An infant/toddler Steel Dragon hatchling who came from an extremely abusive home.
  • Acid Attack: As a Steel Dragon, she has power over acid, though she has little control over it due to being a baby/toddler.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted; she shares her name with one of Bossa Nova Heartstrings' adoptive children, a young Ryujin goddess who is also named Reinigen.
  • Sins of Our Fathers: Defied. Her true identity as Herrlich's biological daughter is kept a secret from the public to protect her from enraged citizens who want revenge for the Neo-NRF's attack on the Cherub Cove Technology Museum.
  • Tyke-Bomb: Deconstructed. She was sired by Herrlich of the Neo-NRF faction with the intent to mold her into becoming the epitome of "True Dragon" values; i.e., being a cruel, greedy, and domineering Dragon who acts little better than a savage animal. To that end, she was subjected to extreme physical, mental, and emotional abuse, including being forced to watch videos of her father and the Neo-NRF's attack on the Cherub Cove Technology Museum. Fortunately, she was rescued while Herrlich was subjected to an ingnominous defeat, but her upbringing left her with long-lasting physical and psychological scars.
  • When She Smiles: Because she was subjected to extreme physical, mental, and emotional abuse by her father, Herrlich, she's usually seen either crying, or in a sad, depressed state when not. Jade Shell and Edel singing one of Moon Ray Vaughoof's songs, "Change It", not only makes her smile, but also gets her giggling and clapping eagerly.

Hatchery/Daycare Staff

    Jubeln 
An Equestrian Bronze Dragoness, and one of the caretakers working in the Cherub Cove Hatcheries/Daycare.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: She's an Equestrian Dragoness, or Draco equestris exiguum, meaning she has a much smaller size compared to other Draconic species despite being big enough to become quadrupedal (i.e. walking on four legs). She's also a Bronze Dragoness, giving her lightning magic.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Her counterpart in Angels with Scaly Wings was one of Reza's victims. Thanks to Shining Dove, she survives the final loop with a scar.

    Smaragd 

    Reginald 

Cherub Cove Police Force

    Verehrt 

  • Expy: Of Sebastian.
  • Guest-Star Party Member: During the Angel Vale portion of Codex Quests, Verehrt is assigned to act as police expert to the Researcher Trio's group following the resturant brawl. As such, he remains with the party for the arc.

    Schurke 

  • Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed. Maverick is generally a jerk to the protagonist in most timelines, only coming to like them in specific ones that generally don't end entirely well outside the True Ending. Here, Schurke, while initially the same and he tried to attack Shining Dove in the end of the first loop to avenge his dead squadmates, but Ahuareka explains Shining Dove is innocent, leading to him having sympathy for the pain Dove went through.
  • Adaptational Superpower Change: In canon, he's implied to have fire breath. Here, he's a Steel Dragon with acid based powers.
  • Expy: Of Maverick.
  • Leeroy Jenkins: It's noted he has a habit of running headlong into the confrontation with Razorbill and this more often than not got him killed.

    Ahuareka 

  • Ascended Extra: Naomi never appeared in person in the actual game, though did show up in the prequel comics. Here she actually plays a role. In the first loop, she actually talks Schurke down from attacking Shining Dove in the end.
  • Expy: Of Naomi.

    Geheimnis "Nissy" 

Geheimnis (introduced in drabble) is the forensics officer and archivist for the Cherub Cover Police Department.


Other Cherub Cove Residents

    Askar 
Schurke's younger identical twin brother, and a Steel Dragon victim of Bestial Regression Syndrome.
  • Adaptational Badass: He became an Angel of Death (also known as a "Reaper") postmortem, with all the abilities that come with his position, something that didn't happen to his canon counterpart.
  • Back from the Dead: By his own admission, he strongly considered coming back from the grave just so he could kill Heilung, the one who set him up to die horribly by having him take the wrong medicine for his Bestial Regression Syndrome. He ultimately decided to become a Reaper instead.
  • Mercy Kill: After his Bestial Regression Syndrome turned him into a feral beast that killed and ate multiple dragons, Schurke was forced to put him down to save Tere. Given Askar's words later, he's grateful to his brother for putting him out of his misery.
  • Related Differently in the Adaptation: While he and Schurke are brothers in canon, here they are depicted as identical twins due to their strong physical similarities to each other, though Askar is still the younger twin.
  • Revenge: Initially, he strongly considered the option of coming Back from the Dead somehow so he could kill ex-Minister Heilung for setting him up to die "like a rabid dog", leading to Tere and Schurke being messed up the way they were. Then he realized he could simply become a Reaper so he could personally drag Heilung's soul off to hell once the Gold Dragon kicked the bucket.
  • Sapient Eat Sapient: Played With: he did kill and eat other dragons, but it was only after his Bestial Regression Syndrome caused him to become a feral monster with no control of his actions. As a result, Askar only started eating other dragons because his mind had basically lost its sapience.
  • Tragic Monster: His Bestial Regression Syndrome caused him to degrade into a feral beast and become a cannibalistic Serial Killer against his will with no control of himself. It turns out Heilung allowed this to happen intentionally, leading to his own brother having to put him down.

    Schlüssel 
A Deinonychus Dracosaur and the deceased stepfather of Fremder.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: In Angels with Scaly Wings, he was Reza's second victim. Here, he was killed by a hitdrake hired by Ornatum and his cabal of corrupt Cherub Cove Ministers because they didn't like the free-thinking his wife, Limette, was promoting.
  • Disappeared Dad: He's Fremder's stepfather, and it's justified — he was murdered by a hitdrake hired by then-Minister Ornatum and his corrupt cohorts in their attempts to deal with his free-thinking wife, Limette. His murder was left unsolved until Ornatum's defeat some years later at the hooves/claws of Jade Shell and her allies, after which evidence of the crime was found by Tere during a police search.

    Arbeit 

  • Expy: Of Amelia, Remy's deceased lover.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: After Rongoa ascended and visited her in the afterlife, they decide for Arbeit to not become his Angel, and let him reach acceptance and move on. This includes Arbeit giving her blessing for him to find love again if that's what will make him happiest.
  • Posthumous Character: She's long dead by the time Codex Equus researchers started making entries about Angel Vale and its residents.

    Aerri's Parents 

  • No Name Given: They are left completely nameless. In-Universe, this is justified; Aerri despised her Abusive Parents so much that she vowed to forget even their names, as they had been nothing but lazy assholes who mooched off of her and then abandoned her when she got diagnosed with terminal cancer, only to come crawling back when she became a hero.

    Zähmen 

  • Adaptational Karma: In addition to getting killed repeatedly throughout multiple time loops and tricked into becoming Anna/Aerri's lab assistant in canon, he's also eventually busted for his incompetence and arrested for his crimes against Aerri. Rongoa also believes he's slated to be Dragged Off to Hell since Aerri's adoptive uncle, Moon Ray, is a God of the Dead and thus wouldn't take kindly to someone raping his niece, due to a friend of Moon Ray's being another rape victim.
  • Adaptational Villainy: In addition to his horrible treatment of Anna in canon, he also sexually coerced Aerri, Anna's Expy, into being his girlfriend, which essentially made Aerri his Sex Slave and is treated as rape as he exploited her fear of dying and desperation to cure her cancer. This was only inferred in canon. He also ends up forming a Villain Team-Up with Honeyguide to become the Big Bad Duumvirate of the Angel Vale Retcons event.
  • Asshole Victim: He not only gets killed multiple times by Razorbill during the "Angel Vale Time Loop" (with Shining Dove only saving him because he wants to save everyone), but prior to the time loops, he was tricked by Aerri into signing away his own science project over to her, making him her unwilling lab assistant. Then Aerri left and gave him his laboratory back... which led to him getting busted for his incompetence and arrested for his crimes against Aerri. When Rongoa brings up the definite possibility that he'll be Dragged Off to Hell due to Aerri's adoptive uncle being a Death god, no one is really surprised by that fact, showing how despicable he is as a Dragon.
  • Big Bad Duumvirate: He forms a Villain Team-Up with Honeyguide, becoming one of the main antagonists of the "Angel Vale Retcons".
  • Dragged Off to Hell: As realized by Rongoa, this is the fate Zähmen would receive should he die, as Aerri is the adoptive niece of Moon Ray Vaughoof, a Death god who is friends with another rape victim and thus won't take kindly to learning what he did to Aerri. Though Moon Ray has stated it doesn't have to be specifically him to do the deed.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: He goes from a pathetic assistant to Aerri who posed little intentional threat to one half of the Big Bad Duumvirate for the Angel Vale Retcons. With Honeyguide, he rewrites the Angel's Six's story to make the two of them the heroes, as well as get Aerri under his thumb.
  • It's Personal: He's tied with Ornatum for the person Aerri hates most, as he's also made her life a living hell, basically raped her, and finally messed with her memories to put her under his thumb.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: He blackmailed Aerri into working under him in return for giving her research funds, and essentially tried turning her into his Sex Slave. Aerri later turned the tables and made him his lab assistant, with full reign over his lab and unlimited access to his resources. Then after Razorbill's defeat and death, Aerri gives him back his lab, and soon enough, without her help, he's busted for his incompetence and arrested for the crimes he committed against Aerri. When Rongoa brings up the definite possibility that he'll be Dragged Off to Hell due to Aerri's adoptive uncle being a Death god, no one is really surprised by that fact, showing how despicable he is as a Dragon.
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: He exploited Aerri's fear of dying and desperation to coerce her into having sex with him. Legally, this is rape and had a bad effect on Aerri herself. He's eventually arrested and tried for doing so, among other things.
  • Rewriting Reality: After Honeyguide comes to him with the Torquem Memorias, a book that allows one to rewrite memories and some measure of reality, he uses it to help steal the Angel's Six's happy ending. Specifically, he uses it to make Aerri his slave.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Damion can't be saved and if Anna is saved will always be killed by Reza, but Zähmen was saved by Shining Dove.
  • Tampering with Food and Drink: In order to make Aerri think she still has cancer during the Angel Vale Retcons so she won't break out of the curse altering her memories, he tainted her coffee with sleeping pills. As they weren't meant for dragons, they only gave her weak spells like she had when she had cancer.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Despite Shining Dove going out of his way to save Zähmen from Razorbill, Zähmen later forms a Villain Team-Up with Honeyguide to try and steal the Angel's Six's happy ending.

    Trauern 

Character: Heroic

Alignment: Neutral Good

Type: Smog Dragon, Comforter, Protector, Cleric

Faction: Angel Vale


Trauern (her entry here) is an Angel Vale Smog Dragon whose loss of her husband sent her into despair, but ultimately became a follower and Cleric of Cloudy Brush, regaining her will to live in the process.
  • Bad Powers, Good People: Trauern is a Smog Dragon, and thus possesses poison as her elemental ability. She also became a Grave Domain Cleric, drawing power from Cloudy Brush. She's an entirely benevolent person who uses these abilities for good.
  • CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable: Subverted. Rongoa has to perform CPR on her after saving her from her suicide attempt. While it does succeed, Trauern suffers bruised ribs from the experience.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: She's a Smog Dragon, and thus has dark green scales, and now serves as the Cleric of Cloudy Brush, a God of the Dead. She's completely benevolent, and in fact acts as a way for Cloudy to bypass her limitations as a Death God, as a Cleric is not bound by the rules restricting their deity's power. So long as said deity only guides them and doesn't flat out order them.
  • Driven to Suicide: She attempted to kill herself after being unable to handle the pain her beloved husband's death caused her, trying to hang herself in the mine he died in. Fortunately, Rongoa saved her and helped her finally reach acceptance.
  • Goodbye, Cruel World!: She wrote a suicide note when she went to the mine Verirrt died in to hang herself. This ironically ends up saving her life, as Rongoa finds it and races to save her as a result.
  • Interrupted Suicide: She attempted to hang herself in the mine her husband died in after being unable to handle her grief over his death. Fortunately, Rongoa arrived in time to break the rope with his ice powers and save her life.
  • Poisonous Person: As a Smog Dragon, she possesses the elemental power of poison, including exhaling a blast of choking, noxious smog to poison enemies.
  • Second Love: She and Rongoa end up falling in love after overcoming the deaths of their first loves. Both were given the go ahead by their first loves, who just want them to be happy and move on.
  • A Shared Suffering: Rongoa losing his fiancée Arbeit allowed him to see the warning signs of Trauern's despair and attempted suicide, allowing him to reach out to her and bring her back from the brink. The two would eventually fall in love and marry.
  • Suicide is Shameful: Defied: Rongoa refuses to shame her for trying to commit suicide because she couldn't handle the pain her husband's death caused her and tells her so, as he knows from experience what will drive someone to do something like that.
  • Winds of Destiny, Change!: One of the abilities she possesses after becoming Cloudy Brush's Cleric is to sense an incoming critical or mortal injury and change destiny to turn it into something much less severe.
  • You Are Not Alone: After suffering in despair for years following her husband's tragic death, she attempts to hang herself to escape her pain. Rongoa saves her at the last moment and shares his own suffering over his lost love, saying he couldn't have ever handled it alone and offering to help her. She accepts and ends up recovering.

    Beleben 

  • Adaptation Expansion: In the game, his counterpart was simply Reza's first murder victim. Here, while he was murdered by Razorbill, he ended up being saved by Shining Dove in the final loop, allowing the audience to learn more about him and him to play an actual role.
  • Badass Bystander: It's noted while Razorbill murdered him in past loops or severely wounded him in the last one, he still managed to fight back and bite him. When a Dumortierite Dragoness on the Anti-Ashfall side attempts a psychic attack that reminds him of his being murdered, he goes berserk, tackles her to the ground, and starts beating the stuffing out of her. This was partially motivated by the knowledge Shining Dove saved his life and not wanting that to be trampled.
  • Berserker Tears: When the psychic attack of a Dumortierite Dragonness reminds him of how Razorbill murdered him, he goes from having a Heroic BSoD from his Past-Life Memories being triggered to exploding. He proceeds to tackle her to the ground and beat the snot out of her with tears running down his face.

    Eines, Zwei, and Drei 
The Triceratop Dracosaur keepers of Mental Bastion, one of the oldest libraries/bookstores of Angel Vale. While big and tough, all of them are very nice Dracosaurs who are friendly and protective of those less powerful than themselves. Featured prominently in the "Codex Quest(s)" stories.
  • Always Identical Twins: They're identical triplets.
  • Badass Bookworm: All three of them are librarians/bookkeepers, and all of them can hit their opponents with the force of freight trains with their natural strength, horns and magnetism powers.
  • Hates Their Parent: Ex-Minister Rajin is the triplets' mother, but none of them like her very much due to her being a corrupt Minister who mistreated Rongoa and contributed to Cherub Cove's overall miserable situation prior to the "Angel Vale Time Loops".
  • Identical Twin ID Tag: They're identical triplets, and literally wear ID tags so people can tell them apart.
  • Magnetism Manipulation: They're Triceratops Dracosaurs, which have magnetism as their racial element.
  • Temper-Ceratops: Subverted: They a trio of Triceratops Dracosaurs, but they're very nice and protective.
  • Villainous Lineage: It's heavily implied their mother is Rajin, Rongoa's monstrously abusive boss. They're nothing like her, and don't seem very fond of her.
  • You Shall Not Pass!: Formed a shield wall to protect the Codex Researchers, smaller Dracosaurs and other Ashfall Ponies from the Anti-Ashfall protestors during the Diner Brawl at Brecher's restaurant in "Codex Quest(s)".

    Tormura 
A Ruby Dragoness from Ophanim Heights working to become a psychologist.
  • Badass Bystander: She was just enjoying a meal during the Anti-Ashfallers' attack. She stepped up and used her powers to counter a Dumortierite Dragonness' own psychic attack.
  • Big Damn Heroes: She steps up to save multiple patrons from an anti-Ashfall Dumortierite Dragonness' telepathic attack by countering it with her own Psychic Powers.
  • Nice Girl: Tormura is a very nice person, being kind to the Researcher Trio when she meets them and having chosen to become a psychiatrist in Cherub Cove simply to take the pressure off Shining Dove.
  • Psychic Powers: As a Ruby Dragoness, she has psychic abilities, with one known power being Telepathy. When an anti-Ashfall Dumortierite Dragonness telepathically attacks multiple restaurant patrons by showing images of Razorbill's evil to sway them to her side, she responds with a counterattack of her own by telepathically showing everyone images of Shining Dove's heroism.
  • The Shrink: She's studying psychology and training to be a psychiatrist. She irritably notes that most didn't expect her to be smart enough for such a profession due to her Ophanim Heights accent.
  • Smarter Than You Look: While she has a Heights Girl accent and mannerisms, causing others to mistake her for being a dumb airhead, she subverts the stereotype. She's actually very intelligent and a third year Psychology college student trying to become a psychiatrist.
  • Spoiled Sweet: She's from a wealthy family in Angel Vale's entertainment business, but is still a genuinely nice, friendly, and heroic Ruby ragoness.
  • Telepathy: This is one power she has as a Ruby Dragoness. She uses it as a counterattack after an anti-Ashfall Dumortierite Dragonness tries to telepathically sway multiple restaurant patrons into hating all Ashfallers.
  • Valley Girl: Averted. She's got a "Valley Girl" accent with the matching mannerisms and hails from Ophanim Heights, which is the Trope Namer for Angel Vale's equivalent of a Valley Girl. However, Tormura is actually extremely intelligent and a third year Psychology college student. She hates it whenever people think she's dumb and shallow for both her accent and her family's history as Ophanim Heights entertainers.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are: She encourages Jade Shell, an autistic Great Tortoise and Codex Equus researcher, to not let the "grody jerks" demean her for being disabled or dictate how she lived or worked, because even with her flaws and deficiencies, she still looks up to Jade Shell and thinks she's awesome.

    Brecher 
Brecher is Edel's boss and owner of his own resturant in Cherub Cove.
  • Benevolent Boss: By all accounts, he seems to be a very good boss. This included allowing Moon Ray to come into the back to comfort Edel when she needed it and stepping forward to defend his employees and customers from harm when need be.
  • Strong and Skilled: Brecher is an Ankylosaur Dracosaur, but he's also got armed forces combat training.
  • Truce Zone: Enforced: he won't bar the Anti-Ashfallers from his establishment on principle, but he also won't tolerate them causing trouble. So he demands anyone eating to leave any open conflict at the door. When they refuse to do so, he's quite willing to show what an Ankylosaur Dracosaur and member of the Angel Vale Armed Forces is capable of.

    Tinder 
Tinder is a red dragoness and local Leymit personality in Angel Vale.
  • Engineered Public Confession: When the Anti-Ashfallers stormed Brecher's resturant and started a fight, she was in the middle of a Leymit stream. She kept streaming, showing just what the Anti-Ashfallers did and helping majorly discredit their movement.
  • Fisticuff-Provoking Comment: During a tour of a Wild Ones' village in "Codex Quest", Tinder would punch out an obnoxious heckling Leymit personality who made fun of a hatchling having a medical emergency after they argued over it and he ignored her criticism and others' disapproval, with a furious Chief Brullen's permission. She smashed his Ixomane Sphere for good measure.

    Vielfrass/Gigaclaws 

Character: Anti-Heroic

Alignment: Chaotic Good/Chaotic Neutral

Type: Enhanced Superdrake, Lab Escapee, Immortal Warrior, Brutal Vigilante

Faction: The Angel, Himself, Cherub Cove

"Don't try your luck against a drake who can cut you down to size!"

Vielfrass/Gigaclaws (His entry here) is a resident of Cherub Cove and one of its vigilante/superheroic protectors. Despite appearances and his gruff, temperamental and abrasive personality, he is actually one of the oldest Dracosaurs in existence, and also one of the most dangerous with his abilities and experiences.


  • Absurdly Sharp Claws: Between his natural Megalo-Dracosaur vibro-claw and -teeth abilities as well Adamantium-reinforced skeleton, Vielfrass/Gigaclaws' extra-long retractable claws can slice through almost anything.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: He was subjected to horrific experimentations and painful modifications to his body and forcefully trained to fight and kill by Dalong scientists since as young as a hatchling, leaving behind deep emotional and mental scars which contributed to his still quite antisocial character.
  • Expy: Of Wolverine of the X-Men from Marvel Comics, which is lampshaded even in-universe.
  • Time Abyss: As noted, despite appearances he is actually one of the oldest Dracosaurs in existence - he was among the very first of the generation of Dracosaurs which attained full sapience to be hatched back in the Second Age.

    Vögelchen 
Vögelchen (his entry Here) is a Talon Biasian cub adopted by Aerri after the Talon Bais War. He's also Jägerin's biological son.
  • Avenging the Villain: Went after Aerri after she killed Jägerin. Didn't work, but ended well for him.
  • Failure Is the Only Option: He was never going to be able to kill Aerri, who had faced or survived far worse, but it does lead him to being Happily Adopted by Aerri instead.
  • Happily Adopted: Aerri adopted him as her son, and his life instantly got better.
  • Orphan's Ordeal: Jägerin was bribed to abandoned him and later died to Aerri, and his dad a soldier was killed during the Dragontown Attack which help kickstarted the Talon Bais War. Poor Vögelchen had to spend much of his life shamed for being 'born out of wetlock', and then having to endure the loss of his homeland when Talon Bais was wiped off the map.
  • Parental Abandonment: Jägerin was bribed into abandoning Vögelchen after she had him out of wedlock.
  • Stealth Expert: Having to constantly escape bullying and then survive a war which destroyed his homeland made Vögelchen VERY good at hiding and sneaking.

     Aktieninspel 
A Stego-Dracosaur encountered at the Angel Vale Media Convention who proves to be quite disturbed.—
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Gets skunked by Sherlock when he tries to kidnap Sapnnung.
  • Loony Fan: Obsessed with Sapnnung, to the point of stalking her and trying to ''kidnap' her.
  • Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Manages to escape the bodyguards despite getting skunked and beat up.

Angel Vale Armed Forces

    General 
  • Ace Pilot: The Angel Vale Aeroforce are noted as likely being the Ace Pilots among Dragonkind, even if for them they don't need a plane. This is because their cultural focus on stunt flying and air sports transitioned very well into the military.
  • Badass Army: Their military is composed entirely of combat trained, armored and armed dragons paired with well trained 'tiny' co-pilots in their armor.
  • Elite Army: The Angel Vale Aeroforce are noted as likely the greatest combat flyers among all Dragonkind. It's noted their army in general was formed with the idea of not being stagnate and just relying on the Veil for protection, and as such is well trained and highly effective.
  • The Strategist: In a strategic masterstroke, at the outbreak of the Talon Bàis War the Angel Vale armed forces devised a plan which would allow them to hold off the onslaught of the Talon Bàisian Griffons when they launched their genocidal wars against various Dragonflights and Free Dragon nations. Utilizing their Zebrican Gate, they funneled the main force attacking Angel Vale through a choke-point, where they find themselves right in the crossfires of a prepared kill-zone where the Angel Vale military can shoot at them with impunity without fear of collateral damage. It was not a perfect trap, as some units did get through, but Angel Vale's plan had effectively stopped the Talon Bàisian assault dead in its tracks and minimized civilian casualties. This is lampshaded by the Talon Bàisian Griffons themselves upon realising how thoroughly tricked they were by Angel Vale's forces.

    Seraph Säbel 

  • Ace Pilot: As a commander of the Angel Vale Aeroforce, she's this by default. She can pull off complex maneuvers with ease, and she's capable outflying fighter craft designed to kill dragons.
  • Armored Dragons: She wears a full body suit of armor that's not only protective, but armed with weaponry for Storm Wing to utilize. The armor saves her life, as it renders a pyropenetrator round's enchantment useless and prevents it from activating inside her.
  • Our Wyverns Are Different: She's a Pterosaur Dracosaur, and thus resembles a wyvern, being a dragon with wings instead of having arms.
  • Playing with Fire: As a Pterosaur Dracosaur, she has heat manipulation abilities.
  • Razor Wings: Her wing armor has blades for use in melee. She can use her heat generation powers to superheat them. During the 'Cherub Cove Tech-Terror Incident' she uses it to great effect to blind and eventually cripple the Neo-NRF leader Herrlich by slicing off his wings.

    Commander Storm Wing 

  • Ace Pilot: While Säbel does most of the actual flying, Storm Wing is in charge of her armor's weapons systems and her co-pilot/gunner. He's every bit as skilled as she herself is.
  • Conditioned to Accept Horror: It's noted of the two of him, he's far less affected by the deaths caused by the battle he's in compared to Säbel. This is because he's spent five years fighting for his life in a post apocalyptic wasteland.

The Wild Ones

    General 
  • Big Damn Heroes: They went to help out their city-dwelling counterparts for the defence of Angel Vale during the "Talon Bàis War".
  • Evil Luddite: Subverted. They distrust technology and prefers to live wildly, but are defined by the fact they don't stuff their beliefs down their fellow dragons' throats like the Natural Resurgence Front tried to. Indeed, they get along with and help the city-dwellers when they have the chance. They're also willing to make exceptions in the case of medical technology, keeping stockpiles on hand in case of emergencies where their own herbal and Druidic healing techniques won't work. As Brüllen explains, Angel Vale dragons and those like them being willing to swallow their pride when it counts is what seperates them from the 'Old Scales.'
  • Good Counterpart: Like the Natural Resurgence Front, they disagree with Angel Vale's modernized society. Unlike them, they're still fundamentally good and agree with the core principle of moral progress and being benevolent dragons, they merely choose to live a more natural life style in caves away from society. They still persue their own definition of progress, it's simply more magical and druidic in nature. They're also noted as living in relative peace with their city-dwelling counterparts. Invoked when Chief Tere calls them for help during the Neo-HRF.
  • Honor Before Reason: Defied: As Brüllen explains, while the Wild Ones dislike modern technology and civilization, they won't allow needless deaths for the sake of their pride. The Wild Ones keep stocks of modern medical supplies and knowledge of how to use them in case of emergencies their own herbal and Druidic healing methods can't deal with.

    Lady Villtur 

Lady Villtur (first intrduced here) is the leading High Shaman of the Wild Ones and Angel Vale's unofficial Minister of Wild Affairs".
  • Jumped at the Call: Villtur rallied the Wild Ones to help Angel Vale when the "Talon Bàis War" broke out, knowing they need all the help they can get and also the Griffon dragonslayers would go after them as well.
  • Nature Hero: She's the high shaman of the Wild Ones who live apart from the civilized city-dwelling folks, and unlike the Natural Resurgence Front gets along with and even help their city-dwelling counterparts despite their differences.

Cherub Cove Wild Ones

    Chieftain Brüllen 
Chieftain Brüllen is the leader of the Wild Ones in the area around Cherub Cove.
  • Big Damn Heroes: He led a contingent of Wild Ones to assist Cherub Cove during the 'Cherub Cove Tech-Terror' incident, helping the authorities battle the Neo-NRF led by Herrlich.
  • Heroic Lineage: As he later reveals to Jade Shell, his family had a long history with dealing with reactionaries — his grandfather who led the earliest Wild Ones was among those who fled with the Angel to escape his more bigoted, traditionalist Dragon neighbors. His parents were among those who helped General Treu and others fight Stärke and his NRF terrorist faction, and played a role in Stärke's death.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Though a Wild One, like most Wild Ones he's very accepting of the Civilised Ones' way of life and does not hesitate to help them, or approve of using their methods to help his own tribe if situation requires it.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gave a scathing condemnation of Herrlich and the Neo-NRF's ideology no sooner than he arrived at the scene on live national Leymit during the 'Cherub Cove Tech-Terror' incident, calling it, Herrlich and his predecessor out for their barbarism and perversion of 'true' strength, instead declaring it to be a form of weakness that Angel Vale should seek to move away from, be they Civilised or Wild Ones.

Natural Resurgence Front

    General 
  • Appeal to Nature: They justify their uprising and beliefs by claiming they are following Dragonkind's own nature as powerful, domineering creatures, and that it's the rest of Angel Vale's society that is acting "unnatural" for allowing progress and letting "lesser" Dragons rule over older ones.
  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership: These Dragons believe that leadership should be dictated by age, experience, and power. Part of the reason why they staged a coup is because they were enraged by how several older and more powerful Dragons (such as themselves) lost council seats to their younger and more progressive counterparts, which they saw as a violation of the natural order of things.
  • The Coup: Attempted this in the backstory of Angel Vale, but failed thanks in part to the efforts of General Treu.
  • Decapitated Army: Their leader, Stärke, was defeated by General Treu in such a way that the Natural Resurgence Front's beliefs in the "Old Scales" ways were utterly invalidated and broken. After their defeat, the rest scattered to the winds, unable to reform even in the present day.
  • Evil Reactionary: The Natural Resurgence Front was a faction of "Old Scales" Dragons who resented how Angel Vale's Draconic society was moving away from "traditional" Draconic behaviour (e.g. unfettered greed, dictating who should lead via strength and power, and dominating those weaker than them), and sought to reverse that with an uprising.
  • Fantastic Terrorists: An organization of Evil Reactionary Dracosaurs who want to drag Angel Vale's society back to the avaricious, darwinistic, and barbaric mentality of "Old Scales" Dragons.
  • The Social Darwinist: They believe that the strong should rule over the weak like many "Old Scales" Dragons and Dracosaurs did, and were very upset when Angel Vale progressed far enough that the old ways lost their value. Naturally, it's because of their refusal to let go of this mindset that leads to the defeat of their leader and the dismantling of their faction.
  • Shocking Defeat Legacy: While being defeated during their uprising is a major blow, what truly crushed it as a faction was the complete dismantling of their beliefs when their leader Stärke was defeated by a squad of Draco equestris exiguum, one of the weakest and smallest dragons on Angel Vale, proving their beliefs in unfettered strength, dominance, and greed were nothing but a load of hot air.

    Stärke 
Stärke (first introduced here) was a co-founder of Angel Vale. Unfortunately, he grew disillusioned with how the nation developed and wanted it to go back to the 'old ways' of draconic behaviour, even if he had to form a terrorist organization and launch an uprising to do it.
  • Evil Reactionary: Stärke resented the way Angel Vale's dragon society has moved away from the old 'natural' ways of draconic behaviour and sought to reverse that with an uprising.
  • Load-Bearing Boss: Downplayed, but his leadership and ideas were central to the NRF's driving motivation and plans. The moment he was defeated in a manner which completely dismantled everything he and the NRF believed in, the terrorist organization fell apart.
  • Our Founder: He was one of the founders of Angel Vale, but grew disillusioned with the society he helped built and tried to take over.
  • Villainous Legacy: While long dead, but Stärke's influence persists in one form or another even thousands of years later (though still within living memory of some older dragons). Indeed, a successor faction of 'Neo-NRF' led by his long-hidden son Herrlich would attempt to continue what he started.

Neo-NRF

A successor of the Natural Resurgence Front led by a Steel Dragon named Herrlich, the Neo-NRF is a terrorist organization who follows the philosophy of Stärke (Even if diverging in certain ways) that seek to continue and finish what he started. They appeared in "Codex Quest(s)" infiltrating and later launching a terrorist attack on the Cherub Cove Technology Museum and its ongoing tech-fair as part of their attempt to launch a reactionary uprising.
    General 
  • Curbstomp Battle: When their cover was blown, they were quickly able to secure control of the museum and hold the place hostage in spite of the extra security arrangements of the day. It helps that they had a mole who quickly locked down the museum from the rest of the world and turned the security system against the guards and officers trapped within it, allowing the well-armed terrorists to quickly isolate and neutralise most of them in short order.
    • A group of them in one section ended up on the receiving end of one when the Ebon Drakes Chapterknights under Knight-Captain Onyx accompanying Tere's group entered the fray, leading to a Mook Horror Show so terrifying even Herrlich was unnerved watching it on a screen. Part of this was their refusal to wear the advanced combat armor out of their ego and beliefs, which might have actually protected them from the Ebon Drakes' weapons.
    • An Electric Dragon by the name of Blitzspur ends up being subjected to this by Jade Shell, who first distracts him with a potion flask full of noxious gas, then proceeds to neutralize him in both magic and physical combat. A huge reason behind this is Jade Shell being a Great Tortoise, whose racial traits involve water magic, incredible strength, and clairvoyance, all which perfectly encounter Blitzspur's electric powers and reactionary beliefs. By the time Jade Shell is done with him, Blitzspur is left unconscious in a small crater, something that impresses even the distrustful and paranoid Schurke.
  • Evil Plan: Their original plan at Cherub Cove Technologies was to infiltrate the museum in secret, rig the tech showcased in the museum and tech fair's exhibits to go haywire and cause massive civilian casualties inside the museum, capping it off with a rigged Draconic Generator going off and destroying the entire museum and every-one/thing in it. It was hoped that the highly sensationalised/publicized disaster would delegitimize technological and other forms of progress in the eyes of Angel Vale and kickstart a reactionary uprising that would restore the Good Old Ways. When their sabotage is exposed and their cover was blown, they locked down and held the museum hostage, while changing their plans to unleashing the rigged exhibits and subverted security systems outside the museum and destroy Cherub Cove for hopefully even greater effect.
  • Evil Reactionary: They pay tribute to their predecessor's leader Stärke, follows a version of his reactionary ideology and wanted to finish what he started by launching a reactionary uprising that would return Angel Vale and its Dragons to their 'True natures' as 'True dragons'.
  • Honor Before Reason: They refuse to wear armor due to their egos and beliefs, as many 'Old Scale' dragons do. This blows up in a group of their faces when the Ebon Drakes' weapons prove powerful enough to pierce their natural armor and the advanced combat armor might have protected them.
  • Hypocrite:
    • They want to reverse all the progress Angel Vale and its Dragons had made to go back to the 'Good Old Ways' where Dragons prospered by their own might and natural abilities alone. Yet they use the very fruits of Angel Vale's progress and advancement in the weapons and tools they used to facilitate their endgoal. This is likely a case of Pragmatic Villainy as Angel Vale is now even more advanced than they were back in Stärke's time, and they rationalise it as 'Turning the enemy's weapons against them' — in fact, the last part served as the basis of their entire Evil Plan.
    • They and their leader also revere Queen Tiamat as their "Mother Goddess" of their kind, believing she created them to be "strong" (i.e. evil, cruel, and domineering brutes who raid and burn 'Tiny' civilizations for fun while shunning any forms of progress or empathy). Yet they completely ignore the fact that Tiamat has a husband, King Bahamut, whom she loves dearly despite her flaws, as well as the role Bahamut played in the creation of modern Dragonkind as Dragonkind's wisdom incarnate, allowing them to think and feel empathy for others like any other sapient race. Tere even destroys Herrlich's reactionary, bigoted beliefs by bringing up his heritage as a Child of Tiamat and asking him why Tiamat bothered to take the wise Bahamut as her consort if she didn't want her mortal creations to be intelligent.
  • Mauve Shirt: Some of the Neo-NRF terrorists received a bare minimum of characterisation and spotlight POV to highlight both the kind of people who would join and support the Neo-NRF as well as showing the heroic fightback against them from the villains' perspective.
  • Mook Horror Show: Despite being well-armed and tough enough to give even normal police forces trouble, the common rank-and-file are still outclassed by the weapons, armour, training and enhancements of Knight-Captain Onyx and her Ebon Drakes Chapterknights accompanying Tere's group. The first group which encountered them was very quickly and so thoroughly slaughtered even their leader Herrlich was disturbed by the sheer carnage. They partially brought it on themselves due to refusing to wear advanced combat armor that might have protected them.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: In contrast to the NRF, who relied on their own natural strength (and lost), the Neo-NRF is willing to use weapons and other tech developed by Angel Vale's progressive dragons for their own ends. Hypocrisy aside, this is probably necessary as modern Angel Vale is simply much more advanced than back in Stärke's time. Subverted when it comes to armor, as they're too prideful to admit their natural durability really is inferior to it. This blows up in their faces.
  • Spanner in the Works: The Researcher Trio (Sherlock, Jade Shell and Mirthful Stone) from the "Codex Equus" project as well as Gerald, Glenn and Gen from Mustangia were two major spanners for the Neo-NRF's entire Evil Plan, as their presence led to their first plan being discovered prematurely, and they continued to provide critical aid which tilt the balance against them even as they worked to salvage it.
  • Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: They consider themselves to be revolutionaries trying to restore what truly made Dragons of Angel Vale great, and their actions are all an attempt to start a reactionary uprising to that end. Tere implies that as with Stärke and the original NRF there ARE dragons and dracosaurs in Angel Vale who would also consider the Neo-NRF this trope, and thus required the Neo-NRF and their leader Herrlich to be beaten in the same manner to delegitimise their movement and close it down for good.

    Pack Leader Herrlich 
Leader of the Neo-NRF and Stärke's long-lost son, Herrlich is the menacing adult Steel Dragon leader of the Neo-NRF who plans to finish what Stärke started, no matter how many must die or they have to kill in the process.
  • Abusive Parents: It's revealed that like his father with him he sired a daughter who he wants to continue his and her grandfather's work. From what little implied so far, he had been an awful parent to the poor hatchling.
  • An Arm and a Leg: On top of being blinded, as part of an elaborate Coup de Grâce Sabel used her wing-blades to cut off his wings at the stumps.
  • Bad Boss: He necklifts one of his subordinates merely for questioning their methods in one scene, and is implied to do very nasty things to subordinates who screwed up, leaving his subordinates are afraid of his wrath and of failing him. He also don't care much about their wellbeing or survival so long as they can serve the cause, and would abandon or sacrifice them for it if necessary.
  • Big Bad Duumvirate: He shares the role of mainantagonist of the Angel Vale Tech Museum Arc with Ornatum. While it was Herrlich's idea, Ornatum has his own agenda and doesn't really care about Herrlich's game.
  • Determinator: To both his credit and detriment, he doesn't give up even when faced with defeat after defeat, instead always working to implement backup plans and make the most of each setback in order to try and wrest some advantage or victory and carry on with his plans.
  • Dragons Are Demonic: Downplayed in that he isn't a demon, but he's still a menacing leader of a reactionary terrorist movement.
  • The Dreaded: He is described as 'menacing' in both character and appearance and his subordinates are more afraid of him than the cops or guards.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: As much of a Bad Boss as he is to his subordinates, even he is unnerved by the sheer massacre being inflicted on one group of them by the Ebon Drakes Chapterknights backing Tere's group, which he gets to see first-claw on a Leymit screen once he received a desperate call for help from his drakes there.
  • Eye Scream: From Sabel and Storming in the Final Battle, who cut and shot out both his eyes and leaving him blinded.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Presents himself to his followers and to the public as a great leader with a great vision for his great people, and for most part believes this was what he is and was doing. Yet beneath that facade he's shown to be a vicious terrorist leader fighting for a demented dogma who's a Bad Boss to his own subordinates and is implied to be at least in part a Tyke Bomb left behind by his father to carry on his work.
  • Godzilla Threshold: After seeing an entire group of his terrorists and supporting automatons being utterly massacred by Ebon Drakes Chapterknights aiding Tere's group, he sicced one of his right-claw heavy-hitters - a full-grown Ankylo-Dracosaur capable of blowing things up with Detonation energy blasts - into the section with instructions to 'kill everything that moves' with maximum force, hostages and surviving mooks be damned, due to not willing to take any chance against an unknown but undoubtedly dangerous force they were facing.
  • Humiliation Conga: Invoked by Sabel and Stormwing as well as others in his defeat in order to delegitimise his cause.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: His defeat in the Final Battle had him going through a Humiliation Conga where he is not only beaten by a pair of physically weaker but better-armed/armoured combatants, but is left blinded, flight-crippled and quite literally becoming a Boxed Crook being thrown into a pen-box where he is gassed unconscious, leaving him in a state where he's treated like an animal he wanted to turn Dragons back into living like and being dependent on others for the rest of his life.
  • Rousing Speech: He attempted to give one to all of Angel Vale when their cover is fully blown but realises that national media attention is now fully focused on the mueseum, attempting to use this chance to sway those in the public who would be sympathetic to their course and trigger the reactionary uprising he had wanted to create early. Luckily Chief Tere would barge in with a Patrick Stewart Speech that also doubles as a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to him and his cause, swinging public opinion against his movement and taking the fuel right under the fire he tried to start.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: He, like Stärke, is a Steel Dragon. This may have something to do with the fact he is in fact his long-lost son.
  • Overlord Jr.: He's Stärke's long-lost son. This surprised everyone from Angel Vale as Stärke didn't have any recorded progeny, which Herrlich explained is due to being the centerpiece of his father's secret backup plan in case he failed.
  • The Strategist: He planned his attack on Cherub Cove Technologies carefully, having his forces hide their tracks and having backup plans to carry out their endgoal in another manner in the event their first plan was discovered and foiled, and reacts decisively and quickly to any change in circumstances to salvage the situation in their favour.
  • We Have Reserves: He ordered one of his heavy hitters to get into a section and kill everything that moves - even the remaining terrorists present - when things went south in there. Then again, considering he just saw Ebon Drakes Chapterknights massacring his forces in there, this might arguably be less disproportionate than it may appear.
  • What the Hell Are You?: He has no idea what the Ebon Drakes Chapterknights are and considers them nothing short of 'monsters' after seeing them massacre some of his terrorists and the automatons backing them up so thoroughly even he was disturbed by the carnage.
  • Villainous Breakdown: He had several over the course of the 'Cherub Cove Technology Museum' arc as his plans keep getting derailed or foiled by the heroes and authorities within and outside the museum. To his credit, he quickly recovers from most of them.
    • He had a particularly big breakdown when the 'Rousing Speech' he attempted to make to Angel Vale to inspire a reactionary uprising was foiled by Tere cutting in with his own Patrick Stewart Speech defending everything Angel Vale stands for and a "The Reason You Suck" Speech against Herrlich and his movement, enraging him to the point that he threw the podium he was behind on the studio camera after Cherub Cove's residents made clear chose Tere and Angel Vale over his Neo-NRF's cause.
  • Visionary Villain: He shares the same vision as his father Stärke for a reactionary new order for Angel Vale where Dragons/Dracosaurs would return to the 'Good Old Ways' where they prosper by their own natural strength alone instead of being 'weakened' by progress.
  • Villainous Virtues: For all his faults, he has shown that he doesn't let any setback or defeat overwhelm him or drive him mad beyond reason, instead getting over them and keep working to find and wrest an advantage or victory out of each setback.
  • Xanatos Speed Chess: Downplayed, but Herrlich proved himself to be an adaptable and determined leader, able and willing to adjust his plans when needed in order to make sure they would still succeed in some manner despite repeated setbacks.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: His alliance with Ornatum is one of convenience, with Ornatum helping Herrlich subvert the Cherub Cove mueseum's security system in exchange for a chance to take out Meleti and Aerri. Given what Ornatum represented stands contradictory to the Neo-NRF's platform and they can barely stand each other, Herrlich was on the fence about whether to keep him around to help suppress 'Undraconic' dissidents in Angel Vale or simply get rid of the insufferable son-of-a-Black-Dragon after their mueseum operation.

    Butch 
A Deino-Dracosaur terrorist, Butch was one of the first terrorists to be encountered and beaten by the heroes in the Cherub Cove Technology Museum terrorist incident.
  • Cassandra Truth: He tried to notify others of Mirthful Stone's presence. They scoffed him off because of his repute as a joker and they had never seen a Qilin (a lion-maned/tailed dragon-pony hybrid creature). This prevented the trio's stealth mission from being blown.
  • Extreme Mêlée Revenge: On the receiving end: Mirthful Stone used a moment of distraction to jam his trigger claw and then slam his elemental charger in his face. Then Mirthful pounced on him and caused the two to tumble onto the ground in a ball of desperate violence, before Mirthful grabbed his discarded elemental charger and smashed its butt repeatedly onto his head until he stopped moving.
  • Mauve Shirt: Named and characterised as something of a jokester in his brief appearance.
  • Near-Villain Victory: He got Mirthful Stone at weapons point and had him dead to rights. Being distracted trying to warn his teammates gave Mirthful Stone the chance he needed to jam his trigger claw with his telekinesis and then slam the rest of the weapon in his face.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: He exists to highlight how dangerous and competent the terrorists are for all their faults and weaknesses. He nearly ruined Tere group's plan to escape the sealed National Defence Exhibit section when he found out the vent which Stygian, Sherlock and Mirthful are using to escape it and had his Elemental Charger in Mirthful Stone's face the moment he crawled out of it. Had it not for Mirthful Stone's quick thinking and desperate attack they would not had succeeded in unsealing the section.
  • Raptor Attack: He's a Deino-Dracosaur, making him around roughly the size of Mirthful, Sherlock and Stygian.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Downplayed as he didn't do much to change the plot, but Mirthful Stone got his elemental charger from him once he managed to beat him.
  • Uncertain Doom: Mirthful didn't know whether he had beaten him unconscious or to death with his own weapon, and the Qilin was too overwhelmed and distracted at the moment to care.

    Täuschen 
One of the Neo-NRF terrorists, Täuschen and his partner Blödian were among those who tried to keep the hostages down and implement their faction's plans until they had the misfortune of encountering Tere's group - more specifically the Ebon Drakes Chapterknights accompanying them.
  • Asshole Victim: Was as villainous as the rest of the terrorists, so he was hardly missed when he got his arm blown off and reduced to a terrified shell desperately screaming for help as his comrades are killed all around him.
  • Bumbling Henchmen Duo: The smarter one, although both he and his partner are smarter and more dangerous than most examples.
  • An Arm and a Leg: He had one of his arms blown off by a gyro-bolt round from the Ebon Drakes' Gyro-Pneumatic Repeaters, on top of having broken bones all over his body.
  • Mauve Shirt: He and Blödian's were there to give exposition to the audience (and Tere's group who were listening in) regarding the Neo-NRF's current plan via their dialogue. Then serve as terrorists' POV view of the Ebon Drakes Chapterknights accompanying Tere's group in action.
  • Mister Exposition: Served as this with his partner, both in-universe and out-.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: He's a Griffonian Dragon, a Dragon from Griffonnia.
  • Smug Snake: He treats his dim-witted partner Blödian with hidden contempt and smugly talked about their terrorist plans and planned disposal of the hostages. This quickly evaporated into sheer terror when the Ebon Drakes chapterknights entered the scene and massacred most of them in short order.
  • Kick the Dog: He and his partner were both very gleeful at the prospect of blowing up a mueseum, destroying Cherub Cove, killing hostages and starting a bloody reactionary uprising that would tear Angel Vale apart.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Being badly injured and watching his comrades being slaughtered by the Ebon Drakes Chapterknight supersoldiers wiped all the smugness out of him and left Täuschen a desperate, terrified shell screaming for help on his communicator.

    Blödian 
One of the Neo-NRF terrorists, Blödian and his partner Täuschen were among those who tried to keep the hostages down and implement their faction's plans until they had the misfortune of encountering Tere's group - more specifically the Ebon Drakes Chapterknights accompanying them.
  • Asshole Victim: Was as villainous as the rest of the terrorists, so he was hardly missed when he got his head blown off.
  • Bumbling Henchmen Duo: The more bumbling one, though he and his partner are smarter and more dangerous than most examples.
  • Dinosaurs Are Dragons: He's a Megalosaurus Dracosaur, making him both dinosaur and dragon like many Angel Vale inhabitants.
  • The Ditz: He's... not very bright. He needed Täuschen to explain the details what they were doing at the moment, though he's still smart enough to know the cause he's fighting for and grasp the implications of their plans once Täuschen laid it out to him.
  • Mauve Shirt: He and Täuschen's were there to give exposition to the audience (and Tere's group who were listening in) regarding the Neo-NRF's current plan via their dialogue. Then serve as terrorists' POV view of the Ebon Drakes Chapterknights accompanying Tere's group in action.
  • Mister Exposition: Served as this with his partner, both in-universe and out-.
  • Kick the Dog: He and his partner were both very gleeful at the prospect of blowing up a mueseum, destroying Cherub Cove, killing hostages and starting a bloody reactionary uprising that would tear Angel Vale apart.
  • Your Head A-Splode: His unfortunate death, courtesy of a gyro-bolt round to his skull.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: He was killed mere seconds after Knight-Captain Onyx's Ebon Drakes Chapterknight trio entered the scene, though not before serving as exposition in- and out-universe for the terrorists' current plans.

    Tierisch 
One of the Neo-NRF terrorists, Tierisch is a loyal subordinate of Herrlich who faithfully follows his orders and never questioned the Neo-NRF cause, and thus Herrlich appear to rely on him as his go-to drake for situations requiring heavy, overwhelming firepower.
  • The Dragon: He's implied to be one of Herrlich's right hand drakes, and is incredibly loyal to him. He's also literally a fully-grown Ankylosaur Dracosaur.
  • Godzilla Threshold: Herrlich sent Tiersich into a section of the museum to 'kill everything that moves' with overwhelming force (without care for collateral or friendly fire) when a whole group of his Neo-NRF terrorists was massacred by the Ebon Drakes chapterknights who were accompanying Tere's group. Considering he has no idea what 'monsters' they were facing and didn't want to take any chances after seeing the sheer carnage they inflicted, this is not entirely a disproportionate response.
  • No-Nonsense Nemesis: While he was also following orders to 'kill everything that moves', when he charged into the section Tere's group was in and found his comrades massacred by the Ebon Drakes Chapterknights with Tere and the hostages being rescued, he immediately launches a Detonation sphere without hesitation on the largest group of enemies present. He almost brought down the mezzanine most of Tere's group and the freed hostages were under right on top of them were it not for a last-second save by Stygian and every psyker/psion in the vicinity using their shadow/psychic powers to stop and hold back the explosion long enough for it to be disposed of in a Blast Bucket.
  • Shocking Defeat Legacy: Invoked by Tere: as he and Tierisch are the same species but Tierisch is much older, the Neo-NRF's dogma says it should be a Curbstomp Battle for Tierisch, who is 'naturally' stronger. However, Tere has trained heavily and actually knows how to fight properly, and thus intentionally picks a fight with Tierisch and beats him with the cameras rolling to discredit their ideology.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: He's a fully grown Ankylosaur Dracosaur, and thus very strong, but he has next to no actual technique with that strength. As such, the Strong and Skilled Tere, who's roughly equal in strength due to training, was able to beat him one on one despite Tierisch being four times larger and much older.

    Raken 
A Velociraptor Dracosaur who joined the Neo-NRF faction to avenge both her own mistreatment and her younger brother's death at the claws of Ornatum, Cherub Cove's previous Minister of Science.

    Grond 
An Earth Dragon who joined the Neo-NRF faction to revert Angel Vale back to the Stone Age, but out of good intentions rather than any pro-Dragon bigotry on his part.

    Wendel 
A Deinonychus-Dracosaur Neo-NRF member, Wendel was a lost soul of society who joined up Herrlich's cause out of anger at being 'left behind', wanting to create a fairer and better Angel Vale where everyone have an equal chance at prospering by their own strength alone.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: From what he implied, he and other drakes were among those 'losers' of society who because they couldn't keep up with Angel Vale's breakneck pursuit of progress, and joined up the Neo-NRF because he felt drakes like Herrlich are the only ones who truly cared for them and would help bring about a better Angel Vale where no drake would be left behind.
  • Cornered Rattlesnake: When backed to a corner by Shining Dove's group and the SWAT accompanying them, he held a hatchling hostage and threatened to shoot him with his elemental charger if they don't let him go free.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Implied. Whatever he went through in life, it left him as it had others felt abandoned, marginalised and forgotten for being unable to 'keep up', leading to him joining the Neo-NRF.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: This is how Shining Dove talked him down, as despite everything he still doesn't really want to hurt anybody, just wanting to live and for everyone to have a future without being left behind. Pointing out that harming the hostages won't give him what he really wanted but letting them go and surrendering would still give him the chance of having a future convinced Wendel to stand down.
  • Evil Reactionary: Subverted to a point. While he is a angry young drake who despises Angel Vale's progress because he felt marginalised and abandoned 'like trash', he truly wanted to a better and fairer Angel Vale where even those who couldn't keep up could prosper.
  • Hostage Situation: He and his mates were in charge of one group of hostages during the mueseum incident. He also started one by holding a hatchling at elemental charger point when he was cornered out of sheer desperation.
  • Mortality Phobia: As Wendel puts it, he felt like the only thing left worthwhile is his life and didn't want to lose that too. This led to him resisting arrest and holding a hatchling hostage when he was cornered, as he believed he was going to die one way or another if he was caught (since they had all done enough by that point for him and his comrades to be hanged).

Other Angel Vale Residents

    Edel's Parents 

  • Abusive Parents:
    • They were emotionally and mentally abusive to Edel growing up, controlling every aspect of her life and forcing her to be the perfect, ideal daughter they wanted. They also showed extreme disapproval towards Edel's desire to become an athlete. If she disobeyed their wishes or failed to fulfill their expectations in any way, they would accuse her of being a lazy Ungrateful Bastard. Edel eventually reached her breaking point and stood up to them, but that only prompted them to laugh at her dream and kick her out of the house. Years later, when Edel tried inviting them to her and Shining Dove's wedding in hopes they Took a Level in Kindness in her absence, they respond back with such apathy that she is left a fuming, sobbing wreck. Needless to say, it's the last straw that drives Edel to accept Moon Ray Vaughoof as her father-figure.
    • After hatching their second daughter, Phönix Vaughoof, they proceeded to indoctrinate and emotionally abuse her so they could turn her into the ideal child and heir that their firstborn, Edel, wasn't. Unfortunately for them, karma finally caught up to them when Edel noticed something going on with Phönix and called the police, landing their parents in prison and turning them into social pariahs.
  • Control Freak: They had a plan for Edel's life and forced her to follow up via emotional and mental abuse, accusing her of being ungrateful and lazy if she didn't go along with it. It's to the point they laughed in her face over her dreams and boot her out of the house, basically disowning her, when she finally calls them out.
  • Education Mama: Deconstructed and played for drama. Edel's parents pushed her to get good grades and pursue college degrees she was completely disinterested in for the sole reason of turning her into their perfect daughter. If she failed or disobeyed them, they would call her ungrateful and lazy. When Edel eventually defies them, they not only laugh at her, but also disown her and kick her out of the house. This leaves Edel's relationship with her parents incredibly strained, but it's not until they respond apathetically to her wedding invitation years later that she officially cuts ties with them and accepts Moon Ray Vaughoof as her adoptive father.
  • Helicopter Parents: They basically tried to control every aspect of Edel's life to mold her into their perfect heir rather she likes it or not. This included doing everything in their power to crush her dream of being an athlete as it didn't fit their designs. In the end, they do this out of being controlling to a toxic degree, not actual compassion, and disown her for standing up to them.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Long-overdue karma finally bit them both in the tail when their abusive upbringing of their second daughter, Phönix, came to light thanks to Edel, leading to their reputations ruined and landing them both in prison.
  • Replacement Goldfish: Phönix, their second daughter, was one for Edel. Because Edel refused to follow their whims any longer and cut times with them, they deemed their first daughter a "failure" and tried indoctrinating Phönix from a young age in order to have a second go at making their ideal heir. Needless to say, their emotional abuse of Phönix eventually landed them in trouble when Edel found out and called the police on them.

    Seherin 
A rotten, Spoiled Brat cousin of Edel, she was reduced from a wealthy family's indulgent scion to a bitter Phony Psychic working in the Angel's Coast amusement park trying to swindle customers out of their money to make ends meet. She is first depicted in Codex Quest(s) where the Researcher Trio, their companions and other characters encounter her during their visit to Angel Vale.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Grows to giant size during her fight with the Researcher Trio.
  • Cluster F-Bomb: When Jade Shell slams her foot with a water hammer, the giant-sized Seherin swears up a storm while hopping around holding her injured foot.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: She is incredibly bitter over the fact that Edel, despite being in her eyes a 'damaged good' and 'reject' of her clan, ultimately got a happy ending in the form of good friends, caring family and a heroic reputation, while she who had lived up to her wealthy's (rotten) reputation and standing was reduced to destitute and hardship. Her psychological shadow created by the Mad Wind card reveals what she's actually jealous of is that Edel broke free of her Abusive Parents while Seherin could never bring herself to do, and Edel made a better life for herself while Seherin just got worse.
  • Hidden Depths: Her shadow summoned via the Mad Wind card reveals a lot of things she's been hiding. She actually is fully aware of how much of her misery is her own fault, deeply resents her own Abusive Parents and her aunts and uncles, has a good deal of self-loathing, and her envy of Edel actually comes from Edel breaking free of her parents while Seherin never could.
  • Ironic Name: "Serehin" is a feminine term for "seer" in German, but she is a Phony Psychic who defrauds her customers either overpricing them or tricking them into giving her their private information, and possess no true psychic abilities.
  • Never My Fault: She blames Edel and the world in general for what she had been reduced to, never once blaming herself or her family's rotten nature and actions for their own downfall. Her shadow reveals she's fully aware of it and hates herself for it, but she uses Edel as a scapegoat to avoid admitting it.
  • Phony Psychic: After going from Riches to Rags, she was forced to work as one in the Angel's Coast Amusement Park. She overcharges her customers, gives bogus predictions, and even tries to trick her marks into giving them their private information so she could steal/swindle more from them later on. She is eventually exposed by Ruya, who was once a criminal like her and thus saw through her tricks when she tried to swindle Ruya's adoptive mother, Velvet Heart.
  • Spoiled Brat: Her defining trait, as observed by Dissonant Tune. Even after her family lost their money and reputation, she still acts like the world revolves around her, throws tantrums when it doesn't cater to her wants, and blames those she thinks are responsible for her family's misery instead of taking responsibility for her own mistakes.

    "The Angel" 

Classification: Ethereal/Ascendant(?)

Portfolio: Dracosaurs(?), Mothers(?), Protection(?)

Rank: Divine (???)


The Angel (her entry here) is the patron goddess of Angel Vale and implied to be the last surviving, and only benevolent, creators of the Dracosaurs. While long dead, her influence is still felt to this dead.
  • Adaptational Badass: The Administrator/Otomo Izumi is just a normal human, if an extremely intelligent one. The Angel is a Physical God who managed to save Angel Vale from an entire massive dragonflight by herself, though possibly at the cost of her own life.
  • Adaptational Heroism: The Administrator/Otomo Izumi is...morally ambiguous and willing to do some flat out villainous things to protect her creations. The Angel never does those things, in part due to possibly being long dead by the present.
  • Adapted Out: As her role in the "Groundhog Day" Loop is replaced by Ourophion, the Angel has no presence in the events of the story, and in fact likely died long before it.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: While her real domains are shrouded in mystery, she's speculated In-Universe to have been an Alicorn goddess who embodied Dracosaurs, Mothers, and Protection.
  • Batman Gambit: She convinced Dragon Queen Tiamat to adopt the Dracosaurs as her children, knowing that Tiamat was enough of a Mama Bear that she wouldn't tolerate Dalong SynTech abusing or trying to steal them from her. The end result was Tiamat reducing Dalong to ashes, exactly as the Angel planned.
  • Cassandra Truth: Back when she was a scientist at Dalong SynTech, she discovered the Dracosaurs were sapient and tried to tell the higher ups. They refused to listen, as their estimates said it was impossible. Eventually, she decided to resort to freeing the Dracosaurs and fleeing to get the help from Queen Tiamat.
  • Cool Mask: She always wore a wooden mask, presumably to hide scars inflicted by Dalong. This mask has become iconic of the Angel and is part of her holy symbol, and the priests of the Church of the Angel wear copies of it in her memory.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: The Administrator/Otomo Izumi dies in multiple loops at Reza's hands including the True Ending, here she is assumed to have died long ago in a Heroic Sacrifice to save Angel Vale.
  • Expy: She's one to The Administrator/Otomo Izumi.
  • God Is Dead: It's unknown if she's still alive, as some legends suggest she sacrificed herself to create the Vale or to wipe out the dragonflight that was threatening it.
  • Good Is Not Nice: It's noted while she was benevolent and genuinely good, she could also be ruthlessly pragmatic and had a The Needs of the Many mentality. She was aware of this and encouraged her followers not to be the same and be better than the Angel herself was.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: She was last seen creating the Veil to protect Angel Vale and facing an entire massive Dragonflight by herself.
  • The Maker: Some legends suggest she's the sole surviving creator of the Dracosaurs who was also the only one who cared about them to the point of calling down Tiamat on her cohorts heads.
  • The Needs of the Many: She's noted as having had this mentality, being willing to commit morally ambiguous acts if she has to to help the greatest number of people. This includes her own life.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Her true name isn't known by her worshipers and she's only known as the Angel. However, her real name is eventually revealed to the audience as Dr. Guiding Spring.
  • Physical God: An Alicorn goddess who protected Angel Vale and created the Vale to protect it. She is still worshipped by them to this day.
  • Pragmatic Hero: She's noted as being willing to be ruthlessly pragmatic if needed and possessing a The Needs of the Many mentality. She was aware of this and encouraged her followers not to be this, but instead be better than she was.
  • Summon Bigger Fish: Her solution to finally free the Dracosaurs from Dalong SynTech? Seek out Queen Tiamat and convince her to adopt the Dracosaurs as part of her children, knowing Tiamat wouldn't tolerate Dalong trying to steal her new children from her. The end result was Tiamat wiping Dalong off the face of Equus.
  • Taking You with Me: As the massive dragonflight she was last seen facing was never seen or heard from again, it's likely the Angel took all of them with her if she died.
  • You Shall Not Pass!: Whether she lived or not is unknown, but she was last seen creating the Vale to seal off Angel Vale and protect it from a rampaging dragonflight that threatened to destroy it, with some legends suggesting she continued to fight until both they and her were destroyed.

    Amethyst 
Amethyst (first introduced here) Amethyst is a former friend of Sakit who abandoned them after discovering they were a hermaphrodite, only to later see the error of her ways.
  • The Atoner: Seeks to make it up to Sakit for abandoning them for being a hermaphrodite.

    Verirrt 

  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Cloudy Brush brings his soul to visit his wife Trauern when she was experiencing guilt over having fallen in love with Rongoa. Verirrt tells her he couldn't say he loved her if he had her be miserable for his sake, and gives her his blessing to pursue her relationship with Rongoa.

    Morrigan 
A Dumortierite Dragoness who is a member of the anti-Ashfallers faction.
  • Blue Is Heroic: Inverted. She's a Dumortierite Dragoness, which means she shares the same blue scales as King Dumortierite, but she's a ruthless Knight Templar who's willing to essentially Mind Rape people (including young children) into joining her side. For bonus points, she's opposed by Tormura, a Ruby Dragoness who is able to counter her due to being a fellow Jewel Dragon.
  • Break Them by Talking: She attempts to stop the brawl by using her Telepathy to Mind Rape the entire pro-Ashfall side and browbeat them into seeing the Ashfallers as a bunch of foreign invaders who will continue Razorbill's work in ruining Angel Vale. It doesn't work, as not only everyone she affected is understandably angry with her for her racism and self-righteous hypocrisy, but also one of the brawlers, Tormura, happens to be a Ruby Dragoness who is able to counter her with her own Psychic Powers.
    Morrigan: (telepathically) Enough. You have made a grave error in supporting the Ashbreathers. Don't you see the harm they have inflicted upon us? Our society? Our culture? We have lost much thanks to them. Perhaps you all shall see the light and repent your ways.
  • Evil Counterpart: To King Dumortierite. Unlike Dumortierite, who is also a Jewel Dragon of the same type yet preaches altruism and peaceful co-existence among races, Morrigan is a self-righteous Knight Templar who uses her Psychic Powers to spread her faction's racist agenda. To further the difference, Dumortierite is a Ryujin, whereas Morrigan is mortal. Even Jade Shell recognizes that Morrigan is wholly different from Dumortierite in terms of personality despite being of the same race.
  • Hypocrite: She thinks the Ashfallers shouldn't be trusted based on the wicked actions of Razorbill, and is willing to make everyone see her view no matter the cost. However, she comes off as self-righteous since she refuses to acknowledge that Angel Vale would've been wiped out if not for Shining Dove, a benevolent Ashfaller, and her attempted Mind Rape of everyone is rightly treated with revulsion and fury, as shown with Tormura, Beleben, and Edel's reactions.
  • Knight Templar: She genuinely believes she's doing everyone a favor by driving the Ashfallers out of Angel Vale, thinking they couldn't and shouldn't be trusted based on Razorbill's wicked actions. Those who think otherwise are wrong and should be made to see the error of their ways. This bites her hard in the flank when she not only receives a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from a traumatized Dragon who was one of Razorbill's victims, but also gets attacked by those who don't buy her bullshit, even getting knocked out by an enraged Edel and arrested by Tere's squad.
  • Meaningful Name: She's named after the Morrigan, the Celtic goddess of War and Fate who foretells doom, death, or victory in battle.
  • Psychic Powers: As a Jewel Dragoness, she shares the same powers as King Dumortierite of the Cobbletown Pantheon, but uses them to spread the anti-Ashfallers' racist agenda via Mind Rape.
  • Telepathy: As a Jewel Dragoness (albeit a Dumortierite one), she has telepathic abilities. She uses this to Mind Rape everyone who opposed the anti-Ashfallers by showing them gruesome images of Razorbill's evil, stating the Ashfallers shouldn't be trusted based on that alone.
  • Would Hurt a Child: She wouldn't hesitate to use her Telepathy to Mind Rape even young Dragon/Dracosaur whelps if it means the anti-Ashfallers gain a few more supporters. This attracts the wrath of Edel, who knocks her out in retaliation following the timely arrival of Tere's police squad.

Ashfall

    General 

    Razorbill 
Shining Dove's fellow ambassador who later became a Serial Killer and insane villain.
  • Adaptational Badass: In Angels with Scaly Wings, he killed the five main Dragons over several time loops with just a knife and a gun. In the Codexverse, he was powered up considerably because the Dragons were changed to MLP-style Dragons, which are much stronger. His weapon is changed to a magical Dragon-slaying sword called Draig Gwaed, but it's not until the final loop that he starts mutating into a monster powerful enough to fight the entire group at once, thanks to accidentally setting off the sword's Changeling-empowering enchantments.
  • Adaptational Karma: In the game, Reza's fate after being arrested isn't elaborated on. Here, Razorbill is forced to see the supervolcano being stopped, thus showing his actions were All for Nothing. He is then executed for high treason.
  • All for Nothing: In most loops, Razorbill's actions either fail to save Ashfall entirely or actively cause its destruction to be worse. In the final loop, the High Council of Ashfall decided to invoke this by delaying his execution long enough for him to witness both Dragons and Ponies working together to stop the supervolcano, both to hammer home how completely pointless his quest was, as well as rob him of any chance to paint himself as a martyr.
  • Artificial Limbs: His right front leg is a clockwork prosthetic that's much stronger than a normal Earth Pony's limb. Shining Dove later breaks it during their fight in the final time loop.
  • Big Bad: Razorbill is the main antagonist of the Angel Vale Timeloop, being the one who must be stopped in order to save Angel Vale and Ashfall from destruction.
  • Dirty Coward: As pointed out by Shining Dove, the real reason why he became a Serial Killer menacing the Dragons of Angel Vale is because he's a two-faced coward who just wanted to save his own hide. Notably, he knew that Ashfall will eventually be destroyed by the supervolcano, but chose not to warn his people and worked alone out of sheer anti-Dragon bigotry.
  • Don't Create a Martyr: This is the sole reason why Ashfall's ruling council decided to delay his execution until after the supervolcano is stopped: If he is given a quick execution after being dragged back home to face trial by Shining Dove, then he'll paint himself as a martyr who died to save his kingdom and possibly rally others to his cause. By delaying his death long enough to see the folly of his own actions, he is robbed of any validation he might feel towards his actions.
  • Evil Makes You Monstrous: Draig Gwaed has an enchantment that's meant to power up Changelings. This enchantment goes completely haywire when used by anything else, mutating them into a form that reflects their inner nature. As Razorbill is a monstrous person deep down, he assumes monstrous form.
    Razorbill: Look at what you've done! Look what you've turned me into!
    Sakit: Draig Gwaed only brings to the surface who you are inside!
    Aerri: This is all you, you son of a Black Dragon!
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: When confronted by Shining Dove for killing his Dragon friends, he blows off the idea, his racism making him see the Dragons of Angel Vale as savage beasts that deserved to die. He even cruelly compares them to meat.
    Ambassador Shining Dove: You killed innocent people! You killed my FRIENDS!
    Razorbill: Friends? Next you'll tell me you sympathize with a steak!
  • Expy: Of Reza, the main villain of Angels with Scaly Wings.
  • Fake Arm Disarm: Invoked: realizing its his most dangerous weapon at that point, Shining Dove targets and breaks his mechanical leg at the elbow during their final confrontation.
  • Fallen Hero: It's noted he was a hero in Ashfall prior to being sent to Angel Vale, as his ruthlessness, pragmatism, and skill at survival made him a huge asset in surviving in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and he was generally reliable. Unfortunately, those very things were part of what made him a monster when sent to Angel Vale.
  • Fantastic Racism: He's incredibly racist towards Dragons and is willing to let them all die to a volcanic eruption. While he claims it's to save his home, the similarly doomed Pony kingdom of Ashfall, various characters point out that it's his cowardice that doomed Ashfall in the first place. He also has no qualms over stealing a bunch of unhatched Dragon eggs for the purpose of turning them into slaves. When Shining Dove confronts him over his actions, he blows off the idea of his Dragons victims being capable of befriending others, even comparing them to meat.
  • Karmic Death: He betrayed Ashfall and murdered several innocent Dragons from Angel Vale (including Rongoa's young adoptive daughter in one time loop) out of sheer Fantastic Racism, and even kidnapped a clutch of unhatched eggs to raise them as nothing but slaves, pets, and weapons. He also endangered Ashfall in the first place by not telling his people of the supervolcano, and did everything he could to cover up his folly out of cowardice. Several times he is killed by either Shining Dove or one of Angel Vale's Dragons over multiple time loops, but it's not until the final loop that he's finally brought down by Shining Dove and his Draconic friends, arrested, and dragged back to Ashfall to be tried. Instead of executing him on the spot for treason, Ashfall's ruling council decides to prolong his fate by forcing him to watch as both Ashfall and Angel Vale work together to stop the supervolcano, robbing him of any chance he has to paint himself as a martyr.
  • One-Winged Angel: His sword's enchantments are meant only for Changelings, not Ponies. As a result, when he accidentally sets one off in the final loop, it mutates him into a monstrous form reflecting his true nature.
  • Pragmatic Hero: Prior to becoming a Serial Killer and villain, Razorbill was one of Ashfall's heroes who helped the kingdom survive the increasingly desperate situation they were in due to his ruthlessness and pragmatism. Unfortunately, those very traits were what made him a monster in Angel Vale without the background of a post-apocalyptic wasteland to make them valuable assets.
  • Serial Killer: As in Angels with Scaly Wings, his primary targets were Dragons. He claims it's to save his own kingdom of Ashfall from certain destruction, but his murders were actually fueled by cowardice and anti-Dragon racism, as evidenced by his willingness to steal a clutch of unhatched Dragon eggs with intention to raise them as slaves. Fortunately, Dove manages to save all his victims in the final loop.
  • The Unreveal: Razorbill was racist to dragons to the point of willing to murder some, steal their tech and leave the rest to die in a volcanic eruption, and he was mentally unstable to boot, but no one knows the exact reasons as to why, and it appears no one really cares in the end after everything he did. When a subordinate of Ashfall's provisional ruling council searched Razorbill's home following his execution and claimed he found out why, his boss told him to forget about it, as no reason would had justified Razorbill's crimes, so Razorbill might as well not have one - he's an insane racist murderer, and that's all that matters. Out of universe, this is because the prequel comic to the game is still ongoing and promises to reveal Reza's.
  • Weapon of X-Slaying: His sword, Draig Gwaed, is a Dragon-slaying sword from the Time of Broken Scales, and very good at doing so, even in the hands of a normal mortal like him. However, its enchantments are entirely tailored to this, meaning it's great at fighting dragons, but just okay at fighting anything else. It's also a Changeling-made weapon whose enchantments are specifically designed to be used only by Changelings, so any non-Changeling who uses it gets mutated.
  • Wrecked Weapon: During the Final Battle, Dove and his friends manage to overload and damage Draig Gwaed to the point it explodes, shattering it to pieces. Dove also destroys his mechanical leg during their one-on-one fight, putting him more at a disadvantage and leaving him vulnerable to Dove's No-Holds-Barred Beatdown.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: Razorbill is very well suited to the post apocalyptic wasteland Ashfall had become, but he tried to apply the qualities that made him perfectly adjusted to that world to the peaceful, friendly Angel Vale. Combined with other psychological issues, this resulted in him becoming a monster.

    Honeyguide, the 'Great Saviour'/False Ambassador 

Honeyguide (introduced in this drabble) is an Ashfall pony who would develop a massive grudge on Shining Dove out of envy, leading to her hatching a plot to replace him in the memories and place of everyone in Angel Vale and Ashfall with the help of Zahmen and a mysterious powerful tome.


  • Apple of Discord: The reason she was an ambassador when Ashfall was still a post-apocalyptic wasteland: she was very skilled at turning raider groups against each other and causing infighting among them, both of which helped protect Ashfall from destruction.
  • Arch-Enemy: Became one for Shining Dove, especially after her initial plot was foiled and she later escaped custody to threaten him and the Angel's Six at later dates.
  • "Ass" in Ambassador: She's an awful ambassador by any metric, being an entitled, jealous, narcissistic and petty excuse of a mare who wanted the glory and fame Shining Dove received which she felt deserved. The fact that she wouldn't have the character to negotiate and then save Angel Vale with may be a reason why she was not only passed over for the job initially, but also ensued her memory-rewriting plot failed when everybody realised she would never had done all the things Shining Dove did, breaking everyone out of the spell she put them under.
  • Backstory Invader: She found an ancient artifact called the Torquem Memorias and used it to first write herself into the Angel's Six's story slowly until she completely took it over.
  • Big Bad Duumvirate: She forms a Villain Team-Up with Zähmen to become the main antagonists of the Angel Vale Retcons event.
  • Decomposite Character: She's based off the Evil Ending version of the Ambassador from the game, split off from Dove, combined with the implied female ambassador mentioned in the True Ending who 'wasn't a good person' (who is implied to have done the Evil Ending if the player didn't).
  • Divide and Conquer: She intentionally wrote her 'story' so that the Angel's Six were alienated from both herself and each other. The former to have all the glory for herself, the latter so that they couldn't come together against her.
  • Entitled Bastard: As pointed out by one of the Angel Six, Honeyguide at her core feels that she deserves/is entitled to glory, regardless of whether or not she's actually earned it.
  • Evil Is Petty: She hates Dove solely for getting the glory she personally feels entitled to. As such, she ends up forming a Villain Teamup with Zähmen to use an ancient artifact to try and 'steal their happy ending' out of jealousy. She also went out of her way to be a jerk to the Angel's Six and making their lives miserable as much out of spite as it is to keep them down and isolated from each other.
  • Fluffy the Terrible: Honeyguide doesn't exactly sound like the name of a sociopathic, life-stealing monster. Less so when you learn that it's the name for a species of avian brood parasites.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Honeyguide was another candidate for Ashfall's ambassador to Angel Vale, but was passed over for Shining Dove. She envies him for getting everything she personally feels entitled to. One thing that sets off her Villainous Breakdown is being told she's not Dove and that's why her plans are falling apart.
  • God Is Displeased: Honeyguide managed to absolutely piss off Dragon Queen Tiamat for trying to 'steal' her children, violated their minds, and doing all this with strength which did not belong to herself (which is a big affront to her worldview). She responded not only with a massive "The Reason You Suck" Speech via an apparition (which exposed her identity to any Dracosaur and Pony nearby), but also by having her marked for death - literally, with a Mark of the Supernatural which made any Dragon who sees or smells it know what she did and an enemy of all Dragonkind - and vowing to eat her if any of her mortal children ever capture her alive and bring her to Tiamat.
  • Hilarity Sues: Subjected to a spectacular case of this after her plot was foiled. On top of criminal charges, she ended up being sued for various Torts by 'virtually everyone in Angel Vale and Ashfall who could afford the time and money to do so' and countless more from beyond the islands for all the distress and disruption her rewriting of memories and taking the two islands into a Pocket Dimension inevitably caused. By the time she escaped custody the amount of damages being claimed (minus the lawyers fee, the ones thrown out of court and the ones who chose to settle) clocked at 427 BILLION Angel Vale dollars.
  • Jerkass: She's based off the Evil Ending version of the Ambassador, and thus a selfish, entitled jerk who can't resist being cruel and mean.
  • Kill Him Already!: Inverted example. In the drabble below, she screams at the Angel's Six to kill her...to stop their Hurricane of Puns she's enduring.
  • Meaningful Name: Honeyguides are brood parasites like cuckoos. Her ultimate plan is to replace Shining Dove as the hero of his story.
  • Mind Rape: What the mass manipulation of memories across Angel Vale and Ashfall by her and Zahmen is perceived as, which absolutely pissed everybody off after the spell was broken by the Angel's Six.
  • Narcissist: Aerri calls Honeyguide a 'clinical narcissist,' and she has all the hallmarks. She believes herself to be far greater than she really is, is self-absorbed and wants everything to revolve around her, she feels entitled to glory, doesn't take criticism or things not going her way well, and questioning her value throws her into a narcissistic rage. This spells her downfall, as having holes punched in her story, being called a fraud, and realizing the Angel's Six somehow broke her curse drives her into a narcissistic rage that results in her exposing herself to all of Angel Vale.
  • Never My Fault: Like Razorbill, she never blames herself for her duplicity being unravelled and then being turned into a rampaging chimerical monster by the Angel's Six, instead blaming them for 'ruining' her and trying to kill them at the climax of the story.
  • Oh, Crap!: Towards the climax of the Angel Vales Retcon arc she experiences a slow-burning version of this, as she realises increasing numbers of Dracosaurs and Ponies on both islands were spotting discrepencies and waking up to the lie she weaved using the tome. Then she experiences another one right after she was exposed and the spell was (mostly) dispelled, seeing the audience of a speech she was going to give becoming an angry mob out for her blood after realising she had been violating their minds to rewrite their memories.
  • One-Winged Angel: When she's defeated, she accidentally triggers the Torquem Memorias' contingency program for when it detects a threat to its existence. This results in it mutating her into a chimeric abomination of pony, parasitoid wasps and brood parasite avians which proceeded to rampage across Angel's Throne, trying to destroy the Angel's Six.
  • Orwellian Retcon: Memory-altering versions. Her plot is to use an ancient magical tome to gradually rewrite the memories of everyone in Angel Vale and Ashfall so that she would end up taking Shining Dove's place as the hero and get all the glory and fame which came with it. However, the tome's power had limits, such as not able to rewrite the memories of the entire planet, and the spell could break if the affected individuals notice there are 'holes' in the altered memories which doesn't make sense. It eventually fails completely as everybody began realising the altered memories are false and realise they had been magically duped, breaking the spell.
  • Pocket Dimension: While likely unintended, the tome she used to rewrite memories phased both Angel Vale and Ashfall out of reality and into a pocket dimension where she could take her time to rewrite memories without outside world interference or allowing the locals to cross-reference with the rest of the world. This unfortunately caused its own problems as even the tome's considerable power is limited and could not alter the memories of the rest of the world to hide the fact two islands completely disappeared into thin air, leaving a lot of people beyond Equus (such as Angel's Six's adoptive parents and foreign friends) shocked, confused, distressed and then angry when her plot failed and the islands returned.
  • Revenge: Is left with nothing but this after she was exposed, foiled and arrested for her crimes, which drives her persistent antagonism against Shining Dove and the rest of the Angel's Six after she escaped custody.
  • Rewriting Reality: Using the Torquem Memorias, she gains the ability to rewrite the memories and to some extent reality within Angel Vale and Ashfall to replace the Angel's Six as the savior of both nations.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Once she was turned into a chimerical monster the size of a small kaiju by Torquem Memorias after she was exposed, she rampaged across Angel's Throne trying to kill the Angel Six for 'ruining everything' and turning her into a monster, nevermind the latter was her own damn fault and that of her book.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Has one as the Angel Six break free of the ancient artifact she used to try and rewrite their memories. And then to make things worse, she was forced to endure a book, paper and ambassador-themed Hurricane of Puns from vindictive members of Angel Vale and Ashfall as she is being arrested which drove her to such apoplectic narcissistic rage she started frothing in the mouth and then passed out from sheer anger.

    Torquem Memorias (Unmarked Spoilers
The Torquem Memorias is an ancient tome created by Prime Grimoire capable of rewriting memories on country wide scales and limited Rewriting Reality. While at first appearing to just be an Artifact of Doom, it's revealed to be sapient at the finale of the Angel Vale Retcons
  • Artifact of Doom: The Torquem Memorias is an ancient tome predating Known History and capable of rewriting memories on country wide scales and trapping entire countries in a pocket reality. It's also sapient.
  • The Final Temptation: When Sakit begins using its power in a gambit to make it help destroy itself, it tries to tempt them with the power to rewrite the two countries so no one ever mistreated them for being a hermaphrodite and take revenge on their tormentors. Fortunately, this fails.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: It turns out it's the cause of The Breezewing Conspiracy, as Stormfront used it to erase Breezewing and their teammates from history in order to steal their accomplishments for himself.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Sakit uses its power to write a weakness into it so it can be destroyed.
  • It Can Think: After Honeyguide is exposed, the Torquem Memorias begins to speak, revealing itself to be sapient.
  • Phlebotinum Breakdown: It's revealed Honeyguide's usage of it was too much even for it, in part due to the collective Past-Life Memories of both countries making it far more difficult than normal, but also the scope of Honeyguide's 'story.' As such, when the spell was broken, it overloaded and blew up the case she kept it in.
  • Rewriting Reality: The Torquem Memorias is capable of allowing its user to rewrite reality to a limited extent to make its story more believable. Notably, these effects can last hundreds of years bare minimum, and do not fade if the book itself is destroyed.

Bloom Radio Station

  • Cornered Rattlesnake: They realize that Beckoning Raven and the Flock of Reckoning have them cornered with no real chance of escape. They decide to fortify and prepare for a Last Stand. They end up putting up far more of a fight than Raven ever anticipated, and thankss to unexpected backup, actually win.
  • Last Stand: When faced with Beckoning Raven and the Flock of Reckoning, they decided to set a trap and fight to the bitter end so they could show all of Ashfall they didn't fear him and take as many of them with them as possible if they didn't win. Fortunately, thanks to unexpected backup, they won.

  • Cruel Mercy: When she has Beckoning Raven at her mercy, she chooses to spare his life, though not out of compassion. She did it because the most effective way to destroy him and his entire worldview is to have him put in a cell, where he would see Ashfall turn from the Crapsack World he loved into a functioning, peaceful society.

    Kirafiki

The Flock of Reckoning

    General 
  • Army of Thieves and Whores: The Flock of Reckoning massive army of raiders and scavengers who were united under Beckoning Raven via his sheer charisma and brutality.

    Beckoning Raven 
Beckoning Raven (first introduced here) is the Flock of Reckoning's leader and one of Ashfall's most vile raiders.
  • Arch-Enemy: He's DJ Meadowlark's nemesis, viewing her Hope Bringer status as a persona afront to him and his worldview.
  • Big Bad: He's the main villain of DJ Meadowlark's story. Turns out due to the massive threat he posed, he was pretty much this to Ashfall as a whole.
  • Expy: He is based on Negan from The Walking Dead, being brutal yet charismatic characters who became leaders of the largest post-apocalyptic in their respective settings. They also rule through terror and fear, believing that people need them in order to survive a Crapsack World.
  • Hero Killer: He murdered Barn Owl, a member of Bloom Radio Station, and came close to killing the entire group before being defeated.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Meadowlark manages to take his own barbwire-covered baseball bat and break both his front legs with it, permanently crippling him.
  • Oh, Crap!: He is understandably taken entirely off guard when the Bloom Radio Station crew revealed they'd turned aerofighter weapons into turrets on their walls and lured him into a trap.
  • Wasteland Warlord: He's noted to likely be the most dangerous of the many Raider warlords in Ashfall.

Ashfall Raiders

    General 
  • Mook Horror Show: When Fremder gets shot, the battle becomes significantly more violent and brutal, with more raiders explicitly being killed.
  • The Remnant: They're the last of the gangs that plagued Ashfall before Angel Vale emerged and helped them reclaim the wasteland.

    Cold Snap 
One of the Ashfall raiders who attacked the Cherub Cove Hatcheries. A cut above his comrades, he and two others proved a surprising challengefor the heroes.
  • Arch-Enemy: From numerous Drabbles following the Cherub Cove Hatcheries Raid, it's implied Cold Snap will become something of a persistent antagonist for Researcher Trio member Mirthful Stone.
  • Badass Normal: He did manage to survive to adulthood in a post-apocalyptic hellscape, with no special abilities beyond what a Pegasus might have.
  • Came Back Strong: The 'Zebrican Gate Concert Incident' showed he not only escaped prison during chaos of the 'Fiendish Uprising' incident the previous day, but thanks to a mysterious patron had inexplicably became much more dangerous through dark magic, posing a challenge to Mirthful Stone even after the Qilin had gained much more experience, weapons, magic and boons over the last few days.
  • Elite Mooks: Part of a trio of Ashfall raiders who lead their own squads, and got more focus in-story than the other kidnappers. Cold Snap even got a one-on-one duel with Mirthful Stone, which the latter only won by a hair's breadth.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Even he thinks Mirthful is crazy when he found out Mirthful made a weapon out of the pieces of an Eldritch Abomination.
  • Humongous Mecha: For his third fight with Mirthful, he revealed he managed to get himself a Warzoid like Mirthful did.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Gets a spear jammed through his wing by Mirthful Stone as a finisher. It's later revealed this crippled him for life,and he'll never fly again.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: Waves off the fight with Mirthful Stone to shove the baby dragon he kidnapped in a storage locker so they won't be hurt by crossfire. When Mirthful brings this up, Cold Snap bluntly says it was because "the job" needed the whelps unharmed.
  • You're Insane!: Cold Snap thinks Mirthful is out of his mind during their second fight when Mirthful brought out an improvised sword made with pieces of an Eldritch Abomination, which incidentally had the power to harm him in spite of his empowerment.
    Cold Snap: [Horrified] You're a gods-damned maniac!
    Mirthful Stone: Hard to be sane in this crazy world!

    Rebar 
Another Hatchery raider who proved more capable than his cohorts.
  • Badass Normal: Like his cohorts, he survived in a volcanic nightmare realm to adulthood with no special magic or powers.
  • Elite Mooks: Leads a small team of raiders in the Hatchery attack, and proves harder to take down than his comrades. Like Cold Snap, he got into a duel with one of the Researcher Trio, namely Jade Shell.

    Wire Cutter 
The third notable raider. Weaker than his two comrades, but still above the average thug.
  • Badass Normal: Weaker though he was, he's still alive after growing up in post-eruption Ashfall.
  • Elite Mooks: Gets notable focus, a name, and leads a gaggle of raiders that gave the heroes a good chase before they were cornered.
  • Man on Fire: Gets set alight by Mirthful Stone, making him drop the baby dragon he'd nabbed (the fire just made the whelp giggle). When the kids were safe, Wire Cutter and his goons were extinguished and captured.
  • Oh, Crap!: Has this reaction when Mirthful tosses a Molotov cocktail at him and his fellow raiders.

    Spring Trigger 
A Pegasus mare sharpshooter who took part in the raid.
  • Actually Pretty Funny: When Fremder visited the prison after the Fiendish Uprising, she ignored Lauffeuer in favor of chatting with Spring Trigger. Fremder's reasoning was that Spring trying to kill her was still more thought than her father ever gave her. When Lauffeuer was left in shock, the raider found this hilarious.
    Spring Trigger: "Damn kid, and I thought I shot through the heart!"
  • Evil Is Petty: The reason she shot Fremder? Spite. The raiders were already cornered and their plan basically failed. Spring took the shot just to make sure the Dragons "wouldn't get satisfaction" in winning.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Didn't hesitate for a second to shoot a baby dragon out of spite.

    Iron Hoof 
An Earth Pony stallion and Ashfall raider.

    Arcane Spark 
A Unicorn mare and Ashfall raider.
