The antagonist group found in Infinity Train: Voyage of Wisteria
open/close all folders
In General
- Big Bad Ensemble: The biggest threat of Voyage of Wisteria's Train section, with them being the main antagonists alongside Chairman Rose and Oleana.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: They sabotage each other quite a bit, culminating in Vox setting up a transformation trigger that transforms Ben into a Corgi.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To the Apex and the Cage of Flauros. While the original two groups were close-knit groups, the team is more business-like and has very different priorities.
- Dwindling Party: As Act 3 of Voyage of Wisteria goes on, the crew begins losing more and more of its members: March Hare and Malika get taken out by the Corginians, Vox gets wiped out of existence, Dahlia gets killed by Ogami in a fit of rage, and Ogami himself ceases to exist once he's forced to confront his unsavory past. The only person still remaining is Mad Ben, who's stuck in a corgi form and unable to transform back.
- Evil Counterpart: Essentially the darker version of the Red Lotus Quarto as it has a shapeshifter (Lexi and Mad Ben), a tech expert (Amelia and Vox), and a red-haired maiden (Chloe and Dahlia). Unlike how the Red Lotus Quarto truly see each other as close friends, the Unsub Crew are using each other for their own schemes.
- Hidden Agenda Villain: Some have defined, individual goals, but the one true goal that unites them, Ogami's, is completely unknown until "Memory Lane."
- Not Brainwashed: Previous antagonistic groups had some degree of brainwashing in their ranks; The Apex was comprised of children indoctrinated into believing the "Passenger Superiority" Grace instilled on them, while the Cage of Flauros had its main components, Walter and Henry, use a lot of brainwashing to get half the components in line. The Unsub's Crew, however, has no such excuse: they're all perfectly aware of what they're doing, and they could careless about the damage they'll do to get what they want.
- No Honor Among Thieves: It doesn't take long for them to start undermining each other, and they clearly do not trust each other which is a severe contrast to the Red Lotus Quarto's loyalty and bonds with one another. Once everything falls apart in "The Darkest Day", they all end up either dead or, in Mad Ben's case, in a fate worse than death.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: A technological Demon Lord with a television for a head, an alternate counterpart to an Omnitrix wielder, an identity thief, and a sociopathic immortal butterfly boy.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The crew do not like each other, but are aware that their chances of attaining their goals individually are rather small than if they worked together.
- Villain Reveals the Secret: It's the tag team of Vox and Dahlia who ultimately reveal Chloe's unsavory beginnings before the Infinity Train, and thus the fact that she's not the innocent damsel she painted herself as.
- Villain Team-Up: They all gather together in order to better accomplish their respective goals, although it's very clear they only do this out of convenience.
The Unsub (Spoilers)
An enigmatic boy with butterfly wings that Chloe bumps into after the Curry Car. Depending on who asks, his name is Ogami, Sarang, Higgins... but the train knows him as the Unsub.
He was originally a Passenger by the name of Mark Kessler, who decided to reincarnate as a Denizen in order to further his goal.
- Above Good and Evil: Whatever Ogami thinks about the concept, he certainly believes himself to be above it enough to cast judgement on those he meets.
- Affably Evil: Disarmingly pleasant even when talking about how Goh would be better off dead or skewering Ben through his wrists. Goh even describes him actually being more charming and pleasant than Zeno. Of course, later chapters make him flip flop between this and Faux Affably Evil.
- Alice Allusion: Takes the form of a smoking caterpillar in one of his forms.
- Allegorical Character: He pretty much embodies the unfair and backwards way the narrative has been treating Goh and many others since Blossoming Trail: He takes a single look at people and judges them based on that impression, rather than learn more about them. Whether he's right or wrong, he then does something he thinks is helping them but is actually doing more damage than good. And just like how Blossoming Trail's characters were highly self-indulgent, Ogami doesn't say or do what he does out of altruism, but because it makes himself feel better.
- All for Nothing: By the time the Darkest Day comes to an end and Ogami is forced to face the truth, everything he did to achieve his "paradise" is rendered null and void when he's forced to confront the fact he wasn't as selfless as he thought he was.
- Alas, Poor Villain: Ogami's last moments are spent not yelling or spitting at Goh's face, but slowly and surely realizing what he's done before being consumed by his butterflies.
- Antagonist Abilities: Ogami's shapeshifting abilities, coupled with his soul-stealing metal butterflies, already makes him a pretty problematic character to deal with. But whenever he dies, he wraps himself in a cocoon of light, where he stays to recover until he can reform into a new form. So not only is he a Serial Killer, he's a Serial Killer who won't stay down.
- Animal Motifs: Butterflies. His form as Ogami possesses butterfly wings, his main weapons consist of metal butterflies, and butterflies flutter whenever he reincarnates.
- And Then What?: While Ogami has a clear idea on how to reach paradise, what he intends to do afterwards is never made clear. And unlike the Cage of Flauros, he doesn't have the excuse he'll cease to exist when it's done.
- Asshole Victim: If he decides to kill someone, then there's a high chance they were something like this beforehand. Not that he's doing it for any altruistic reason.
- Awesome, but Impractical: His 'Stop' spell can freeze his enemies in their tracks, but also renders them impervious to damage. Similarly, his 'Barrier' spell keeps him pinned in one spot during a fight.
- Awful Truth: Getting him to confront this, and come to realize that his "good intentions" weren't really good at all, is the key component needed to defeat and stop him once and for all. Goh eventually manages to get this through him when they're at his mindscape, and once he does, Ogami dies in short order.
- Ax-Crazy: He hides it very well, but once his Mask of Sanity slips, the whiplash from him being so calm and then raving mad is disturbing.
- Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: As it turns out, he's the one who ultimately takes out Grace Monroe when nobody else felt comfortable getting their hands dirty.
- Barrier Warrior: By shouting "Barrier" he can summon a barrier around himself. The caveat being that he's completely immobile while it's up.
- Berserk Button: Don't even imply to him that he's Secretly Selfish regarding his motives. Grace learned that the hard way.
- Beneath Notice: Part of the reason he's gone so long without notice is that he's much faster and cleaner than the sadistic, messy Apex. Combine that with how his victim pool is all but expected to disappear, and it's clear why he wasn't considered a priority for the longest time.
- Beyond the Impossible: Typically, whenever Denizens are created and assigned a role, they're stuck with that role even after leaving their Car. Ogami, meanwhile, somehow severed his connection to his original Car.
- Believing Their Own Lies: He actually believes that his serial killing of Passengers is actually a good thing, and absolutely necessary. Getting him to come to terms with the actual truth is the key to defeating him.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Ogami is surprisingly polite for an antagonistic Denizen, but this is just a front to get closer so he can shank you.
- Beware the Silly Ones: He's a pretty boy with butterfly wings who attacks with metal butterflies. He also happens to be a Serial Killer who has gone Beneath Notice for years, if not longer, and who is basically immortal.
- Beyond Redemption: Ogami has accumulated such a high body count across his years on the Train that even if he turned back to his original self, his number would be as big as Grace, if not Amelia's. Naturally, once his plan gets going, everybody quickly decides that he must be put down, no matter the cost.
- Black-and-White Insanity: Any Passenger with a relatively small number is good and should be helped reach to zero. Any Passenger with a big or messy number, however, must be taken out at once.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: If Ogami even has a moral code, it's not something that anybody can quite figure out. At the very least, he mostly concerns himself with reincarnation rather than good or evil.
- Boring, but Practical: Ogami's MO basically goes like this: find a Passenger who he believes is a lost cause, kill them with his butterflies, and leave the scene before their body disappears. It's nowhere near as flashy as The Apex's loud ransackings or the Cage of Flauros' ritual, but the fact he's stayed Beneath Notice for so long makes it clear that what he lacks in style, he makes up with results.
- Born Lucky: Once Mark reincarnated as Ogami, his luck shot up quite a bit: he gained a varied powerset that effectively made him immortal, severed himself from his Car to become free, and once the Apex appeared, he had the perfect alibi in case people found him, while also being Boring, but Practical enough that he was under everyone's radar for years.
- Bugs Herald Evil: Change "bugs" for "butterflies" and you get the idea; if a swarm of butterflies appears in any scene, there's a high chance that Ogami's nearby.
- Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: A butterfly-themed denizen who seems quite interested in the idea of rebirth. And with a swarm of stone butterflies that can deal out death. This also applies to himself, as every time he dies, he simply cocoons himself before assuming a new, temporary form.
- Butterfly of Transformation: When he shifts forms, he spins a cocoon of light around him and bursts open like the butterflies he adores.
- Cessation of Existence: As revealed in Act 3 of Wisteria, should his Single-Issue Psychology, the sole thing keeping his immortality running, ever be resolved, he will outright cease to exist. Which eventually comes to pass during the Darkest Day.
- Cheated Death, Died Anyway: He cheats death one last time during his battle with Goh before he takes the butterfly killer into his mental world, where he's forced to confront the truth about his actions and ultimately cease to exist as a result.
- The Collector: He collects the souls of deceased Passengers using metal butterflies.
- Collector of the Strange: More "grotesque" than strange to be honest, but his collection is made up of the hundreds of souls of Passengers he's killed over the years.
- The Comically Serious: Ogami is basically always played seriously... Which doesn't mash well with some of the antics his crew get into sometimes.
- Conflict Killer: His plan for the Train is so catastrophic that just about everybody decides that he needs to be stopped, no matter the cost.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To both the Apex and the Cage of Flauros. While the Apex were loud, brutish, and make a lot of noise on the train, the Unsub is an Affably Evil Serial Killer who operates below the radar as much as possible. And while Walter and Henry don't factor into the story until midway through and remain in their car with their trap, Ogami is a more mobile antagonist that Goh encounters on his first day.
- Create Your Own Hero: His sudden, cold-hearted murder of Grace Monroe eventually led her to reincarnate as Warbler, who plays a key role in helping the Travelers of Wisteria stand up against him.
- Create Your Own Villain: As Mark Kessler, his brutal killing of a Denizen, followed by his suicide, drove Grace to take a "Denizens aren't reincarnated humans" mentality in order to cope with it, turning her into the brutal Apex leader of the present day.
- Dark Messiah: Once his true plan is revealed, he gains shades of this. He's a supernatural entity who believes that Utopia Justifies the Means, and is more than willing to kill anybody who could threaten his plans for paradise.
- Debt Detester: He utterly loathes having to repay Vox's favor by giving him Goh, but he decides to be pragmatic and let him have it, if only for a moment.
- Didn't Think This Through: He adopted a Single-Issue Psychology in order to become well and truly immortal... and he doesn't think to completely avoid the Tape Car for the final battle, but instead lead everybody into it in order to send his message. Surely enough, Goh tricks him into entering his own mind and triggering his own death.
- Didn't See That Coming: He's completely stumped when he finds out that Goh took him not to his mindscape but, as revealed by the taxidermic animals around them, his own, which serves as the final nail in the coffin for him.
- Driven to Suicide: Once he realized that Passengers reincarnated as Denizens, he killed himself in order to take advantage of this in order to achieve his goal.
- Dying as Yourself: As he's ceasing to exist, Ogami takes the form of Mark Kessler one last time.
- Early-Bird Cameo: He appears in the Ryokan Car having a small chat with Chloe before coming back for Voyage of Wisteria and murdering Satou and Shio with the idea of helping them be together.
- Enemy To All Living Beings: He's an immortal sociopathic Serial Killer who'll kill anyone and anything in order to achieve his goals.
- Evil All Along: It was at first hard to tell what Ogami was supposed to be. Sure, he was creepy as all hell, but still seemed fairly neutral. Then he tried to kill Goh on his first day on the Train, and it became clear how rotten he was.
- Evil Counterpart: To Chloe. Both of them are an Outside-Context Problem for the Train, with a perchant for violence when provoked, paint themselves as good people but are Secretly Selfish, and whose arrival on the Train brings a massive change to the status quo. The difference is that Chloe, for as much damage as she did and how often she twisted her logic to suit her own needs, had good intentions and eventually came to see the errors of her ways, while Ogami seems himself in the right and refuses to change his mind.
- He also counts as one to Goh. Both guys are not only incredibly stubborn, but become obssessed with Chloe once the Train gets involved. However, Goh ultimately does care about Chloe despite what the entire world thinks — he just couldn't spit out what he truly wanted to say in front of her — while Ogami acts like he cares but he really just wants her soul to fulfill his ambition and is a smooth talker that gets many under his thumb.
- Evil Virtues: Equality. There are many things that can be said about Ogami, most of them in the negative, but in a universe where the average character would rather die than let go of their bias, Ogami stands out as a practicioner of equal treatment. Rich, poor, old, young, none of these things mean anything to Ogami; if he judges you, he'll do it without taking anything into account.
- Expy: He's focused on Chloe, the one who will bring about a paradise. Chloe, in Silent Hill terms, was based off of Heather Mason, making him similar to Claudia Wolf.
- False Friend: He initially presents himself as an ally to Goh, accompanying him and being more than happy to help him become a better version of himself. Then he used Satou and Shiou to demonstrate what he meant...
- Final Boss: He was supposed to be this in his original Car, but he severed it and escaped. He's currently poised to be this to Wisteria, being The Leader of the crew with a personal interest in Goh.
- Foil: To Zeno, surprisingly enough. They both were "guides" to Goh but their actions succeed in breaking him down more. However, Zeno later comes to truly want what's best for Goh and get him back on his feet. Ogami doesn't see his actions in the wrong and doesn't mind killing the boy if it makes him feel better.
- Given Name Reveal: For the longest time, he's Only Known by Their Nickname, this being either Ogami, his Denizen name, or one of his many alternate forms. It's only later down the line do we learn his real name is Mark Kessler.
- Glasgow Grin: His smile is sometimes noted to be too "wide" by some people, implying this trope.
- Good Wings, Evil Wings: As Ogami, he has a pair of insectoid butterfly wings.
- Greater-Scope Villain: He's only a cameo in Blossoming Trail, but his presence is the reason behind the existence of The Curry Prince.
- Heel–Face Reincarnation: Inverted. As Mark Kessler, he was a very unstable but ultimately neutral entity. It's once he becomes aware of the reincarnation processes and pulls a Thanatos Gambit to become Ogami does he become truly evil.
- Heel Realization: How he's defeated; Goh takes him inside his mind to see back his memories and come face to face with the fact that he wasn't as selfless as he paints himself to be.
- Humanoid Abomination: His primary form resembles a guy with butterfly wings. As the other tropes might tell you, however, he's certainly no human. And once his backstory is revealed, it turns out he's a Transhuman Abomination too.
- Immortality Immorality: Ogami resurrects every time he dies, making him practically immortal, and he's a delusional serial killer.
- Immortality Seeker: Back when he was Mark Kessler, he desired to find a way to become immortal in order to find a way to achieve his vision of paradise. To do this, he kills himself in order to use Dr. Killjoy's reincarnation technique to become something that can never did. Needless to say, he succeeded.
- Judge, Jury, and Executioner: If Ogami meets a Passenger, he'll judge them, and if they're so much as even a tiny bit below his standards, he'll kill them.
- Karma Houdini: He's been killing Passengers for who knows how long, but he's been Beneath Notice for so long that nobody's been able to do anything about it.
- Karma Houdini Warranty: After years of causing so much death and destruction, he finally dies after Goh forces him to accept what he's done.
- Kick the Dog: His first instinct upon seeing Goh is to try and kill him while he's still recovering from his nightmare therapy and just starting his Train trip.
- Last Episode, New Character: He makes a brief cameo on the very last chapter of Blossoming Trail, being the very first Denizen that Goh meets before the To Be Continued.
- Leitmotif: Omberg by Fredrik
, a mysterious and unsettling tune. - Legacy Character: He's only the second character on the Train to ever be referred to as "The Unsub" — Dr. Killjoy has the dubious honor of being the first.
- Light Is Not Good: He encases himself in a cocoon of light whenever he goes through his reincarnation process, and he's an immortal lunatic focused on gathering the souls of deceased Passengers.
- Logical Weakness: His ability to control how he stays on the train is dependant on one specific delusion that he focused on and tied to his soul. If he resolves it, he's gone.
- All of his spells are vocal, so if his nose and jaw are damaged enough to compromise his words, he's a lot more vulnerable.
- His metal butterflies can steal the soul of a Passenger, but this requires them to be in contact with said Passenger when they perish. Until then, they're about as harmless as a metallic butterfly would be, and can even be sold with no danger to the Passenger.
- Macabre Moth Motif: Associated with butterflies to the point of obsession. His main weapons, his primary form, everything about him is themed after butterflies, if not blatantly, then subtly.
- Mask of Sanity: Ogami is perfectly capable of acting no different than the average Denizen, if a little bit more creepy than usual. Then he takes out the metal butterflies and the mask gets thrown out the window.
- Mysterious Past: Where did he come from? Why is he doing what he does? Is his immortal state natural or some sort of error? Nobody knows, Ogami basically just is. About the only hint of a past we have is that he might've been a Passenger with an "M" on his name that Grace met before, but that's about it. The Train Museum Car explains that he was once a boss type denizen in the Severed Prophecy Car. and "Memory Lane" is all about his past and connection to Grace.
- Older Than They Look: He looks fairly young for a Denizen, but he was a kid when Grace was a kid, and he's been around as Ogami since before the Apex emerged meaning that he would be 18 in human years.
- One-Winged Angel: Has transformed into a horrible insectoid monster near the end of the Darkest Day, something that seriously scares Dahlia.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: The vast majority of characters only know him as "The Unsub" and if not, then as one of his many Denizen names. Very few know his actual name is Ogami, and even fewer manage to learn his real name is Mark Kessler and live to tell the tale.
- Outside-Context Problem: Most previous Denizens were capable of being killed and staying dead, even those who were the previous Big Bad. Ogami, meanwhile, is effectively immortal: he wraps himself in a cocoon to recover before emerging in a new form, and this is before becoming Ogami once more. In other words, he can't be put down by conventional means.
- Outside-Genre Foe: The Blossomverse is primarily a psychological horror-thriller-character driven epic. Ogami, from words regarding his backstory, is pretty much an RPG final boss gone rogue turned Diabolical Mastermind.
- Past-Life Memories: Like most reincarnated Denizens, he has a few of these of his former life, but he works very damn hard to suppress them in order to ensure that his Purpose-Driven Immortality doesn't get compromised. Being forced to remember these memories is what eventually leads to his end.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: Played with. He does kill off despicable people — the most prominent one being Leo Akaba (who in his canon show got away with a shit-ton of atrocities) — but it's done more to satisfy his own ego than to actually put the sons of bitches to justice.
- Polite Villains, Rude Heroes: While his crew as a whole zigzag between being a nasty piece of work and just barely tolerable, Ogami himself is always friendly and cordial as long as his Berserk Button isn't pushed.
- Pre-Insanity Reveal: The flashback in Grace's mindscape reveal the person he used to be before going completely insane as part of his reincarnation: he was a disturbed youth called Mark Kessler who decided to take advantage of the reincarnation system in order to bring "paradise" to the train.
- Purpose-Driven Immortality: This turns out to be his type of immortality; he uses Dr. Killjoy's method of Single-Issue Psychology and sticking to that single issue, ensuring that even if he dies, he'll eventually come back.
- Pupating Peril: Befitting his overall butterfly motif, when he reforms from his caterpillar form back into his Ogami form, he does so through a cocoon.
- Resurrective Immortality: While Ogami can technically die, he doesn't stay dead; upon having his physical form destroyed, his soul retreats into a coccoon state where he waits until he's fully healed up and emerges like a Butterfly.
- Shadow Archetype: He's pretty much the perfect demonstration of Chloe and Goh's worst traits-ignorance, arrogance, hatred-with none of the good traits.
- Secretly Selfish: No matter what Ogami tries to argue, at the end of the day, it's clear that his kills are done less for the good of the Train, and more to rationalize his own actions and make himself feel better.
- Self-Serving Memory: His entire existence in rooted in this regarding what happened to Horace. Once Goh is able to make him face the truth, he disintegrates.
- Serial Killer: Hotchner gives him the title of Unsub when he starts suspecting that there's a passenger killer operating on the train. An educated guess is that he has over two dozen victims to his name.
- Serial-Killer Killer: He's the one responsible for killing Grace, who had racked quite the bodycount when she encountered him.
- Single-Issue Psychology: Invoked - his immortality is built on him focusing that one issue into his existence. If it's resolved, he's gone.
- Shout-Out: To Ardyn with his cryptic farewell message to Chloe. Funnily enough, he gets attacked by Ignis Scientia in Voyage of Wisteria.
- His codename as a caterpillar, Higgins, is named after a Monty Python skit where his namesake assumes that the block of flats he's supposed to build is actually for an abattoir.
- His codename as a caterpillar, Higgins, is named after a Monty Python skit
- Small Role, Big Impact: In "Blossoming Trail." A single visit with the Curry Prince turned the transformed denizen from a kindly ruler to a broken tyrant. He has a much bigger role in "Voyage of Wisteria."
- Stalker without a Crush: If somebody catches Ogami's eyes, he'll stalk them regardless of what he actually thinks about them.
- Sunk Cost Fallacy: Chloe questions if his dedication to regain her soul for his plan is due to this rather than any real special nature about her soul.
- Thanatos Gambit: Once he, as Mark Kessler, discovered that Denizens were reincarnated Passengers, he killed himself with a pair of shears so he would reincarnate as a Denizen to better achieve his own goals.
- Thread of Prophecy, Severed: Turns out he used to be the Final Boss of an RPG car, the dark lord destined to fall to a group of four heroes. Except he left the car before the prophecy could come to pass, throwing the car into chaos.
- Together in Death: A firm believer in this...unfortunately, he's sociopathic enough to take initiative and ensure that will be the case.
- Token Immortal: He's the only member of the group who's outright immortal, utilizing Dr. Killjoy's Single-Issue Psychology method to achieve this.
- Transhuman Abomination: He was originally just an ordinary Passenger called Mark Kessler. One suicide and reincarnation later, he became an eldritch entity that can only be shallowly referred to as a humanoid.
- The Unfettered: There's nary a line he won't cross to get his paradise. Killing Passengers, kidnapping people, holding people hostage, everything is fair game.
- The Unsmile: Part of the reason he's so creepy to some people is that whenever he smiles, it doesn't feel quite right, either being too calm for what he does or being too wide.
- Utopia Justifies the Means: He wants to hijack the reincarnation process of the Train, and the Train itself, in order to create his own version of paradise: one where no Denizen or Passenger need to reincarnate.
- Villain Has a Point: His assessment of Satou and Shio's shaky future prospects is accurate, but his solution is a little...extreme.
- Subverted with the reason behind his MO: theoretically speaking, killing Passengers who have no intention of changing themselves would definitely benefit the Train, especially after the Apex became a thing. However, it's clear that this isn't the real reason Ogami kills people.
- Villain Respect: He has nothing but pure respect for Chloe Cerise and her quest to stop the Apex, with the only disappointment he has in her being that she returned home. Later chapters makes this idea doubtful, however, given his blatant sociopathy, insanity, and his desire to eliminate Passengers and capture their souls.
- Visionary Villain: As it turns out, he's doing everything to mess up the Train's reincarnation process in order to create what he believes would be paradise.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: It turns out he's capable of changing his shape, letting him recreate himself as Sarang and Higgins whenever someone 'kills' him.
- Walking Spoiler: It's impossible to talk about him without mentioning his connection to The Curry Prince, or how he's the main antagonist of Voyage of Wisteria.
- Winged Humanoid: As Ogami.
- Would Hit a Girl: Kills Satou with little hesitation, and in general, gender means little to him when it comes to killing.
- Would Hurt a Child: Has no problem killing Shio and threatening Goh, and that's not counting the potential dozens of young Passengers he's already taken down.
- You Are Already Dead: When Ogami catches up to Goh in what he believes to be the latter's dreamscape, it takes him a second to realize that the mental realm with taxidermic displays of animals is not Goh's mental realm, but his own, at which point Goh is already in the middle of unveiling his true memories and making him confront his past, which ultimately leads to his death. However, he stays around long enough to apologize to Goh got everything before being swallowed by his butterflies.
- You Are Too Late: As said above, by the time he realizes he and Goh are not in the latter's dreamscape but his own, Goh is in the middle of making Ogami confront his past actions.
- Your Soul Is Mine!: Not Ogami himself, but his metal butterflies have the ability to snatch the souls of Passengers who just recently died.
Vox
The demon of technology, and someone very eager to get their claws on the Signal Car.
- Always Someone Better: Got upstaged by Alastor and Chloe in terms of train fame, much to his profound annoyance.
- Attention Whore: Vox loves to be placed in the spotlight, and anybody who threatens said spot is quick to get his ire. Just ask Alastor and Chloe.
- The Bad Guy Wins: As of the "interview" during The Darkest Day, he has exposed all of Chloe’s past sins and what kind of person Goh really was towards her to all of the train, effectively ruining her image as the absolute perfect angel all the denizens saw her as. Just how much damage to her reputation was done is yet to be revealed, but its clear that it'll be hard to recover from this. This is especially notable because he is the only villian across the entire Blossomverse to get anything approaching what he wanted, even if he was ultimately stopped in the end.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Makes a point to screw over Mad Ben in the event of his death...though in fairness, he'd assumed that Ben would be the one to actually kill him.
- Crippling Overspecialization: He has power over technology... And that's about it. Furthermore, any technology created by the Train is beyond his control, leaving him effectively powerless until the Signal Car gets taken over.
- Deal with the Devil: Tries to make one with Goh, with Vox being the devil; he promises Goh the ability to expose Chloe for what she truly is to the Train that so blindly worships her, in exchange for a ticket straight to her. Goh, naturally, refuses.
- The Dreaded: He's at least as strong as Alastor, overriding and upgrading Mad Ben's Omnitrix after Alastor breaks it. And as if that wasn't enough, a Mass "Oh, Crap!" ensues when he appears at the Kaiju Car.
- Driven by Envy: It turns out his hatred of Chloe is due to her going viral on the Infinet before her. He's so furious about it he's willing to haggle Ogami for Goh in order to get a shot at destroying her reputation.
- Evil Is Petty: He wants to make Alastor and Chloe pay... For becoming more popular than him. The latter is especially notable since he puts a lot of effort into getting Goh to help him destroy the goodwill Chloe has garnered.
- Fatal Flaw: Jealousy. He joined Ogami in order to get revenge on Alastor and Chloe for being more popular than him. Chloe invokes this by stating how much Alastor is cooler than him, causing him to lose his cool and have Goh destroy her phone, severing the connection between the Pokémon world and the Train, leaving him to be killed.
- Foil: Essentially is this to Sara Diktaylis, as they both hate Chloe for getting attention and would do anything to slander her good name. Perhaps the biggest difference between the two of them is the scale at which they work. When Sara started out, Chloe already had a shaky reputation among her twenty-odd classmates. Sara exploited that to turn Chloe into the class punching bag with unsubstantiated claims that she was secretly a bully. Vox, on the other hand, is faced with a Chloe who is a beloved celebrity to countless denizens. However, he remains confident that he can tear away her heroic image for good, and has some fairly solid evidence to aid him in "reframing the narrative".
- Hannibal Lecture:
- Delivers one to Goh with how much Chloe hurt him and how he can have the reputation she had if he lets him.
- Manages to deliver one to Chloe during the Darkest Day.
- It's Personal: He has a beef with both Alastor and Chloe for becoming more famous than him.
- Logical Weakness: His control over the technology doesn't really work if he can't understand it. The Train is so unfathomable that anything created by it is beyond his control, so he has to hijack the Signal Car, which wasn't created by the Train, in order to take control of it.
- The Man Behind the Man: You know how The Apex weren't responsible for the massacre at the Noir Princess Car? Vox is the reason everybody thinks so.
- Manipulative Editing: Offers to use this to glorify Goh and destroy Chloe's reputation.
- Non-Human Head: Not that he's human in the first place, but he has a television for a head. He can also convert objects into pixel versions that he can keep inside the screen... which Goh uses to trick him into chewing on a thunder grenade.
- Portal Cut: On the receiving end of this when Chloe and Goh shatter the former's phone, the only thing keeping the portal between the Infinity Train and Pokémon World open, with him still inside.
- Revenge Before Reason: He's definitely prone to this when it comes to Chloe, Alastor, and the grudge he has against them for being more popular than him. For example, during his expose of Chloe of the Vermillion, he refers to the Apex as "the most overrated threat on the Train," with video evidence, just so he can downplay Chloe's accomplishment in opposing them to the people of the Train. He seems to be forgetting at that point that he was largely responsible for their reputation in the first place, as he had helped frame them for the massacre of the Noir Princess Car, and it would be counterproductive for his group if the truth about the Apex were to get out. This is what gets him killed, as Chloe is able to lure him over to her by saying Alastor is better then him, leaving him halfway through the portal just before Goh shatters her phone.
- Television Portal: Uses this to bring Ben to Sarang, and to threaten Goh in the Kaiju Car. Apparently the size of the TV can affect how big he is.
- The Television Talks Back: A favorite trick of his.
- Villain Has a Point: As clear as it was that it was only a trick to get Goh on his side, Vox isn't necessarily wrong in pointing out that not only did Chloe hurt Goh a lot before his Train trip, but that the Train sees him as a no-good scoundrel because of her.
- Villainous Breakdown: Loses his grip on sense and sanity when things come falling apart, which leads to him being cut in two.
- Your Size May Vary: Depending how big the television he comes out of is, he can be as big as his usual self or a jumbotron.
- Your Magic's No Good Here: His technomancy can't affect anything the train created, so he needs help to take over the Signal Car. That said, he can find weaknesses to exploit and control once he's in the right position.
Dahlia Hawthorne
Dahlia Hawthorne, who sets herself up as Chloe Cerise in the Deep Jungle Car before being recruited by the Unsub to act as a face for their schemes.
- Action Survivor: Not counting her Master of Disguise abilities, Dahlia is just an ordinary human who's been sent to the Infinity Train to figure herself out.
- Bad People Abuse Animals: Dognapped an innocent corgi to complete her con and has clearly terrified the poor pup.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: This is Dahlia Hawthorne we're talking about, people. She's perfectly capable of acting nice when she can get away with it, but get on her bad side and she'll make sure you regret it.
- Bond Villain Stupidity: She stupidly lets her desire for revenge against Mia Fey lead her to an obvious trap where she's exposed as a fraud.
- Brains Evil, Brawn Good: Dahlia isn't a fighter like everybody else is, however she more than makes up for it with her manipulative skills.
- Celebrity Impersonator: This is how the Red Lotus Quarto ends up meeting her, as she's impersonating Chloe in order to get some favors from unsuspecting denizens.
- Consummate Liar: A very skilled manipulator, capable of lying as naturally as if she was breathing, to the point where she easily sidesteps Amelia's attempts at an Engineered Public Confession.
- Dies Differently in Adaptation: Dahlia was killed by hanging in Ace Attorney canon. In here, Ogami ends up killing her in rage as he turns into his final boss form.
- Dramatic Reading: Does one for Chloe's messages.
- Easy Impersonation: Downplayed, but Dahlia shares enough similarities with Chloe, and has enough knowledge on her adventures, that she only needs to recite these adventures and say she is Chloe Cerise for the denizens of the jungle car to obey her. The fact the Denizens are incredibly blind and far behind on what has actually happened on the Train probably helps.
- The Fake Cutie: Plays the role of a terrified, put-upon little girl to exploit the Deep Jungle Car residents to give her everything.
- Fatal Flaw: Her fixation on Mia Fey. Jane uses this to expose her true identity by gloating about the truth before trying to kill her.
- Flaw Exploitation: Jane gets her to expose her true self by using her fixation on Mia Fey.
- Identical Stranger: Downplayed. She and Chloe do share some similar traits, red hair being the most prominent, but there's still a clear difference between them (one of them is that she wears pink, which is a color Choe hates and the other is anything associated to princesses which Chloe despises). The only reason the Denizens of the Jungle Car even fall for her disguise is because they're one of the few Cars not up to speed with what happened to Chloe.
- Kick the Dog: Calling Hazel a miserable little brat is Amelia's last straw with the girl.
- Killed Offscreen: Courtesy of an angry Ogami in One-Winged Angel mode.
- Logical Weakness: Dahlia is a Master of Disguise and a Manipulative Bastard, but her disguises are only as effective as long as she stays in-character. Furthermore, she needs to have at least some knowledge on who she's impersonating in order to make the disguise work at all, otherwise she has to rely on the people around her having bricks for brains in order for it to work.
- Manipulative Bastard: She's got quite the proficiency in hitting people's buttons in just the right way to give her what she wants.
- Motive Rant: Wants Maya Fey to be able to meet her sister in the afterlife and confirm Dahlia got her revenge...much to Lexi's delight.
- Mundanger: She doesn't have Ogami's shapeshifting and immortality, Mad Ben's ability to turn into aliens, Vox's control of technology, nor March Hare's explosive demolition expertise. In fact, she's outright the Non-Action Guy of the group. However, she manages to keep up the pace with her disguises and ability to manipulate those around.
- Never My Fault: She blames others about the destruction of Ogami's Ring of Blades when it was her idea to use it and then being defeated by two former bullies.
- Non-Action Guy: She's the only member of the crew who outright doesn't fight, instead using her wits to pick up the pace. And when she does try to take part in the fight, she gets defeated by Gard and Julie of all people.
- Odd Relationship: She, a sociopathic Master of Disguise, gets along with and is even dating Mad Ben, an evil alternate universe version of an Omnitrix Wielder.
- Older Than They Look: In her late teens, but can pass for Chloe...at least to people who've only heard about the girl of the Vermillion.
- Oppurtunistic Bastard: Tries to kill Goh and Chloe with Ogami's ring as soon as she sees a chance.
- Parasol of Prettiness: She carries a lacy parasol on her to contrast the sea-life patterned umbrella Chloe used.
- Pet the Dog: The closest thing she has to one is assuring Goh that the holograms of his past used in Vox's interview isn't the same as a memory tape.
- Pink Is Feminine: Likes wearing pink which is a dead giveaway this is not Chloe.
- Playing the Victim Card: An expert at this, knowing just when to use it and what to say to make it seem like the Red Lotus Trio are threatening her.
- Psychological Projection: Seems to think Goh's opinion of Chloe is the same as her attitude towards the Fey family, and that he'll be happy to curse them with his dying breath.
- Redheads Are Uncool: A sociopathic Master of Disguise who impersonates a beloved hero and manipulates those around her in order to get them to do her bidding isn't what most people would consider "cool."
- Revenge Before Reason: She's got such a beef with Mia Fey that she exposes herself as a fraud while gloating about how she's gonna kill her.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After losing Ogami's ring she books it... only to run into Ogami's monster form.
- Shadow Archetype: To put it plainly, Dahlia is everything bad about Chloe Cerise in human form. Smug, callous, and very skilled at Playing the Victim Card and taking advantage of "everything she went through" to make everyone give her what she wants.
- The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female member of the Unsub's crew.
- Smug Snake: A little too eager to prove how clever she is, either by explaining her plan to what she thinks is her enemy or ordering the riskiest item on the menu for her date.
- Too Clever by Half: Dahlia is a legitimately smart master of disguise and manipulator, but when she gets the chance to seemingly take revenge on Mia Fey for what she did, she throws away her disguise in order to gloat before trying to kill her. Keyword being try.
- Villainous Breakdown: Does not take being exposed gracefully.
- Xanatos Speed Chess: The Red Lotus Quarto try to use their knowledge to expose her? She ends up Playing the Victim Card so the Jungle Car Denizens come to her aid.
- We Will Meet Again: Threatens the former Red Lotuses, claiming that it's not over between them. Ogami listens...
- White Gloves: Wears a pair of these that conveniently hide her number.
Mad Ben
An alternate version of Ben Tennyson who currently rules the Desert Racetrack Car. For more information of him see here.
- The Apunkalypse: Into leather, mohawks, spiked accessories and resides in a desert car where they hold races, you can clearly see the Mad Max vibes.
- Ascended Extra: Was referenced once in Blossoming Trail as someone that the Apex couldn't defeat. In Voyage of Wisteria, he's off to hunt down the Apex and get revenge on Paul London and Knight of the Orange Lily has the White Gestalt face him head on.
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Rules the Desert Racetrack Car because he's the strongest there is.
- Bullying a Dragon: He's a tough cookie, but he has a tendency to punch above his weight class.
- Delinquent Hair: Is sporting a mohawk.
- Forced Transformation: Vox's "insurance policy" turns him into an adorable corgi to humiliate him in defeat.
- Hellbent For Leather: He's wearing a piecemeal leather outfit.
- Humiliation Conga: After getting beaten and temporarily disarmed by Lexi, Amelia, and Easter, he gets unexpectedly transformed into a humiliating Corgi dog by Vox's insurance policy.
- I Love You Because I Can't Control You: How he feels about Grace because how she always eludes him. Though it's not exactly "love" he feels...
- Mugging the Monster: Tries to establish dominance over Sarang, and is swiftly put in his place by the Unsub when he resurrects.
- Never My Fault: Still cannot get over his loss to the White Gestalt even though it was his fault for trying to get even (due to Specter needling him with psycho-analysis) just as he was a few feet away from winning the race.
- Next Tier Power-Up: Vox upgrades his Omnitrix so he can transform into Denizens — which was an Achilles' Heel for him in Orange Lily — which spells serious trouble when he tries to copy Kisaragi and gets Lexi's powers.
- Non-Indicative Name: He doesn't understand why people keep calling him "Mad" Ben because he's not insane; he just likes leather, mohawks, spiked accessories and "post-apocalyptic racing".
- Odd Relationship: He, an alternate version of Ben Tennyson from a Mad Max-like world, is dating the manipulative sociopath that is Dahlia Hawthorne.
- Red Baron: "Warlord of Bellwood"
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Downplayed, since he actually has orange eyes, but he's not someone to mess with.
- Spikes of Villainy: Likes spiky accessories and is a bad guy.
- Villain of Another Story: Has had skirmishes with both the Apex and White Gestalt in the past. Knight of the Orange Lily reveals that the White Gestalt fought them — and with one of its members nearly killing him — before they settled on a race which ended in a tie, while the Apex encounter remains unknown, the only real info being that he sent them running when he turned into Mad Rath.
- Villainous Breakdown: Does not take being transformed into a Corgi gracefully.
- Villainous Crush: Had one for Grace Monroe, and seems to develop one for Dahlia in the meantime.
Dormouse and March Hare
Two former Solitaire members that Ogami enlists.
- A-Team Firing: While they were with Solitaire, March managed to hit everything except the Apex during their fight.
- Bullfight Boss: What Phryne's fight with Dormouse becomes, waiting until he hits a wall to disable him.
- Clockwork Creature: Dormouse is defeated by Miss Fisher removing the turning key from his back.
- Evil Is Petty: March is ready to kill everyone in the 400 Rabbit Car because he was annoyed that he had to make cheap televisions instead of what he wanted to create. Dormouse is just along for the ride.
- Mad Bomber: March was hired for his expertise in creating bombs, and it's something he very much enjoys. Dormouse also quite enjoys firing missiles at his enemies.
- Non-Indicative Name: March Hare retains the name even after having his soul transplanted into a grasshopper suit. March Hopper?
- You Don't Look Like You: March's soul gets transported into a grasshopper suit.
