As a whole

A trio of ancient, mysterious sorcerers wielding fire, ice, and nature magic. They are the keepers of the most powerful, primordial magics in existence.

---

• All Your Powers Combined: While formidable apart, they are capable of performing especially effective ritual magic together. Bellroc and Skrael are capable of Necromancy when together and it takes all three of them to unlock the Genesis Seals.
• Ambiguously Human: While they (maybe) consider Morgana (who was a human with an affinity to magic) their kin, they are considered ancient even by wizard standards, with various physical characteristics that display their supernatural aspects to the forefront. If they were ever human, they certainly aren't now.
  • Morgana once describes the Arcane Order as demigods while Blinky refers to them as primordial wizards. By then it was unclear if they were humans who were granted primordial power or were born/created as demigods. Eventually, it's revealed that they are the creators of the universe, meaning they truly aren't human in origin.
• Can't Live Without You: In Rise of the Titans, it's shown that the members of the Arcane Order seem naturally linked to their Titans, and when one dies, so does the other.
• Color-Coded Elements: Their color schemes match up the traditional color of the elements they represent: Bellroc Keeper of the Flame wears red, Skrael of the North Wind is blue, and Nari of the Eternal Forest is decked out in green.
• The Chessmaster: They have been playing a very long, millennia-lasting game against Merlin to obtain their goals.
• Dwindling Party: They lose their servants one by one in Wizards. In the Grand Finale, Bellroc is the only one left by the climax.
• Elemental Powers: Each of them wields a distinctive elemental power.
• Evil Counterpart: The Arcane Order in a lot of ways reflects the protagonists of Wizards.
  • Bellroc acts as this to Merlin, being an ancient, all-powerful wizard that acts as the Big Bad to Merlin's Big Good. Whereas Merlin is Douxie's magic teacher, created the Trollhunter and begat the various heroes that soon followed, Bellroc either converted or created her various underlings who in turn caused significant havoc throughout the franchise.
  • Skrael could be seen as this to Douxie, with both of them as the second-in-command to each of their masters, with Skrael serving Bellroc and Douxie serving Merlin). However, while Skrael does not care for Bellroc to the point he interrupts her monologue by torturing Steve, Douxie genuinely cares about his master and it took the destruction of Merlin's staff to let go of his death.
  • Morgana is this to Claire and Nari; having been their youngest and least experienced member with an affinity towards shadow magic and switched sides when their sense of empathy led them to do so (Morgana switching to the Dark Side when Arthur's hatred of magical creatures led to him nearly killing her, Nari switching when the rest of the Order became genocidal against mankind).
  • The Green Knight is their equivalent of the Trollhunter; a Magic Knight empowered by their magic and designed to be the perfect living weapon against their enemy. They were also permanently altered to accomplish this, Arthur having been turned into a lich mindlessly dedicated to their cause, while Jim was turned into a troll so that he could be strong enough to face Gunmar and Morgana.
  • Both sides possess an Ominous Floating Castle. The heroes fly Camelot powered by the Heart of Avalon and generating Emerald Power, while the Arcane Order possesses a giant, skull-shaped flying mountain that glows an ominous red.
• Fantastic Racism: They hate humans to the point that they want to destroy all of them.
• Fire/Ice Duo: Bellroc has fire-based magic while Skrael has ice-based magic, and in Wizards, they work together with a common goal to capture Nari so they could use the Genesis Seals to unmake the universe and remake the world as they see fit.
• A God Am I: Certainly how they see themselves, though it's probably closer to physical demigods or elemental spirits. Morgana actually refers to them as demigods after her revival, and Rise of the Titans reveals that they made the universe with their Titans.
• God Is Flawed: Played With. It's revealed that the three members of the Arcane Order created the universe while using the Titans as their handmaidens. Since Nari defected from the Order and joined the forces of good because of their twisted, Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist mindset, Bellroc and Skrael decided to destroy the universe and remake the world by releasing the Titans via the Genesis Seals. When Skrael and Nari die, Bellroc is the only member of the Order left, effectively becoming God Is Evil in the process.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: When controlling their Titans, all three original members of the Arcane Order sport these: Bellroc's eyes (and Nari's eyes when under control by Bellroc) are fiery orange, Skrael's eyes are icy blue, and Nari's eyes are bright green. The Green Knight, as the Arcane Order's champion, has golden-yellow eyes that continually glow.
• Humanoid Abomination: Possibly. They're enigmatic beings that can resurrect people and give them immensely powerful magic abilities. They were the ones who turned Morgana into the "Eldritch Queen", and they turned King Arthur into the Green Knight, a being of Anti-Magic. They were the ones who created the universe with the Titans as their handmaidens. They also claim to have existed "since the stars were young".
• I Have Your Wife: They attempt to do this with Douxie, taking him hostage and ordering Merlin to hand over Nari in exchange. It doesn't work; Merlin fights to save his apprentice, and Douxie lets out a backlash of magic when seeing the Green Knight stab Merlin.
• In Their Own Image: Bellroc and Skrael each want to remake the Earth by their own liking: in Bellroc's scenario, it would be a Lethal Lava Land, while in Skrael's scenario, it would be a Slippey Slidey Ice World. Plus, it's heavily implied that had Skrael survived his battle with Nari, he and Bellroc would've ended up killing each other for the Heartstone due to their opposing views about how they want the Earth remade, despite them both wanting to destroy all of existence.
• Magical Barefooter: They're always barefoot and are primordial beings with an extensive knowledge of magic.
• The Maker: They created the universe, using the Titans as their handmaidens to make the Earth a "paradise".
• Mutual Kill: Skrael and Nari kill each other in Rise of the Titans.
• Neutral No Longer: It's implied that they used to keep watch over magic and the elements from afar, as a fairly neutral faction, but the unbalance of the human world has forced their hand to become more and more involved, first with reviving Morgana as their champion, then culminating with directly killing Arthur and reviving him as their replacement champion.
• Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: What concerns them is that humankind's advances have set the world in disarray and they are trying to correct it, no matter the cost. Granted, their methods leave more and more to be desired as time goes by, reaching a close at complete global omnicide and remaking the world anew. In the end, they are nothing more than hypocrites perfectly willing to destroy the entire universe along with everyone in it, magic or not.
• Omnicidal Maniac: Their end goal is to destroy all of existence by way of triggering a magic-based apocalypse like a Biblical Flood by opening the Genesis Seals to unleash the Titans and then uniting their Titans with the Heartstone beneath Arcadia-Oaks. Since Nari has a strong affinity to the Earth's biosphere, this was what led to her defecting from the Arcane Order in the first place. Bellroc herself states the Order's plans of wiping out the universe in the episode "Wizard Underground", and it doesn't help that they are the ones who created all of it in the first place.
  Bellroc: We planned for a millennium, gathering, waiting... to undo you, to UNDO ALL!
• Restart the World: This is what they hope to achieve after they've eradicated the universe from existence. Specifically, Bellroc plans to use the Fire Titan to remake it as a Lethal Lava Land, while Skrael plans to use the Ice Titan to remake it as a Slippey Slidey Ice World.
• Semi-Divine: Morgana once described the Arcane Order members as demigods, and it's revealed that they made the universe with the Titans as their handmaidens.
• Skeletons in the Coat Closet: Bellroc and Skrael both wear bones and skulls as part of their outfits. This alludes to their skills at necromancy, Nari's lack of bones evoking her power's emphasis on life instead of death, and their general affinity to dark magics.
• Terrible Trio: They used to be this until Nari left the Order, due to her having had enough of their hatred and them needing her to open the Genesis Seals to unleash the Titans and undo the universe in a magical apocalypse.
• Time Abyss: They claim to have watched over magic since "the stars were young", which is supported by the fact that they created the universe.

Appearances: Wizards (2020) | Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans

Voiced by: Piotr Michael (male voice) and Kay Bess (female voice)

The de-facto leader of the Arcane Order with powerful fire/lava magic.

---

• Alien Blood: When she has her eyes cut by Deya and later slashed in the chest by Jim, she bleeds lava.
• Ambiguous Gender: She speaks with a female and male voice at the same time and her looks are pretty androgynous.
  • In Rise of the Titans, Jim once refers to Bellroc as "her", while Toby once used male pronouns, implying Bellroc uses all pronouns, especially "they/them" pronouns.^note Due to the confusion of the ambiguity, Bellroc is mainly referred with "she/her" pronouns in the tropes.
• Big Bad:
  • Bellroc serves as the primary villain in the latter half of Wizards as she is firmly the dominant member of the Arcane Order, even above Skrael and the Green Knight. In Rise of the Titans, she takes full status as this even more as Skrael dies before the climax.
  • She's also the overall true antagonist of the whole franchise, discounting anything related to Morando, as she's the one who corrupted Morgana and directly set events in motion that led to the creation of the Trollhunter amulet and other atrocities. She takes center stage as the central villain in the Grand Finale, Rise of the Titans.
• Big "NO!": Says one right after Jim cuts her staff in half, and says another one after he slashes her in the chest and as she explodes to her death mid-air.
• Cruel Mercy: In her final battle against Jim, she displayed a small bit of compassion by allowing him to leave and embrace his loved ones before she ended the universe, merely as an act to make Jim give up.
• Disney Villain Death: Downplayed. Bellroc gets slashed in the chest by Jim using Excalibur before she falls off the Fire Titan, exploding in a lava burst midway during the fall.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Bellroc is baffled by how Jim still tries to keep fighting and thinking himself as a "hero", despite having no magical amulet.
  Bellroc: You have no amulet, no armor! And yet you still think yourself a "hero"?
  Jim: [seething] The amulet didn't make me a hero, I already was!
  Bellroc: Mmm... such hubris.
• Evil Is Burning Hot: She has fire-based magic and plots universal cataclysm via the uncontrolled magic that would come from her titan connecting with the Heartstone.
• Evil Sounds Deep: Both of her voices (male and female) sound quite deep and foreboding.
• Eye Scream: She is blinded in her main eyes by Deya, forcing her to use her chest armor eyes for the rest of the time. That is until her eyes are restored when she and the Arcane Order unlock the Genesis Seals and awaken the Titans.
• Eyes Do Not Belong There: Her outfit evokes a caricature of a face, the eyes over her shoulders tending to follow whoever is around her as though they were real eyes. After Bellroc's real eyes are blinded, she is not shown to be in any way slowed down by this, implying that they function like real eyes. Rise of the Titans shows this to be the case.
• Fearsome Foot:
  • In Wizards, when she, Skrael, and the Green Knight prepare to fight the Guardians of Arcadia with Morgana on the latter's side, Bellroc has a brief closeup of her feet when approaching. Later on, in the same episode, a video cam is shown of her stomping on the screen and causing it to go static.
  • In Rise of the Titans, Bellroc is shown in the subway after she and Skrael find Douxie and Nari, and her sole is shown up close as she stomps on the ground.
• Fiery Redhead: She has red hair, is constantly angry, and has fire magic. So a quite literal example.
• Final Boss: Bellroc is the last member of the Arcane Order to be fought after Skrael dies, and the final adversary of Tales of Arcadia as a whole.
• God Is Evil: Played straight. She's one of the three members of the Arcane Order who created the universe, is very evil, and also a parallel to God the Father from the Bible as she is the leader of the Order. After Skrael and Nari kill each other, Bellroc continues her rampage to destroy the universe and remake the Earth by turning it into a wasteland full of nothing but fire and lava.
• Greater-Scope Villain: She was the one who turned Morgana into the unstoppable juggernaut that made her the Final Boss in Trollhunters not only through sowing the seeds of her evil alongside Skrael, but also by killing King Arthur in front of Morgana when the two were about to reconcile. In turn, her actions through Morgana are what led Morando to merge with Gaylen's Core in 3Below and become a Physical God.
• Hero Killer: While controlling Nari, Bellroc kills Nomura via the Earth Titan.
• Hot-Blooded: Of the entire Arcane Order, Bellroc is the least patient and most aggressive. Even interfering directly in Killahead Bridge when the other members urged caution.
• Hypocrite:
  • Bellroc claims that she and her brethren created Earth to become a paradise until humanity became corrupt and hostile against magics, even though she became corrupt herself and fully intended to destroy the universe and remake the Earth as a Lethal Lava Land, which would've killed both humans and magics alike, as well as everything and everyone else.
  • In the Battle of Killahead, Bellroc attempts to attack Deya and accuses her of "staining magic", despite the fact that Deya's a troll (a type of magical creature).
  • Also, Bellroc blamed Arthur for rallying a crusade against magics, believing him to be irredeemable, and later recruited his sister, Morgana, as her new champion to end Arthur's reign, but ended up killing the king herself to prevent the siblings from reconciling just when they were both on the brink of redemption. Not long after, she and Skrael use their Necromancy to resurrect Arthur into their dark pawn of Anti-Magic to replace Morgana as their enforcer because of her failure.
• Jerk with a Heart of Jerk:
  • In Wizards, Bellroc calls Skrael out on torturing Steve in the middle of her monologuing. Not out of moral standards, but merely because she was annoyed by Steve's obnoxious screaming.
  • In Rise of the Titans, Bellroc blackmails Douxie into surrendering Nari by threatening a group of Innocent Bystanders and promises to let them live... Long enough to see her Fire Titan turn their home into a Lethal Lava Land. Even if she didn't kill them right then and there, she knew they'd be killed off anyway.
  • Later on, Bellroc calmly gives Jim a chance to embrace his loved ones before she rebirths the Earth into her Lethal Lava Land image. It's clear that this was merely an act of Cruel Mercy to crush the boy's faith since she cared for no one but herself, not even Skrael and Nari, despite needing them both to rebirth the Earth properly.
• Karmic Death: Bellroc was blinded by the first Trollhunter and ruthlessly murdered the last master of Excalibur. Nine centuries later, she is fatally stabbed by the first human Trollhunter and the new wielder of the enchanted sword.
• Kick the Dog:
  • She ruthlessly murders a redeeming King Arthur in cold blood, right in front of Morgana, right when both estranged siblings were about to genuinely reconcile.
  • Throughout Rise of the Titans, she taunts Jim about how powerless he is without his amulet... until Jim gains his new and improved armor and deliberately ends her reign of destruction once and for all by stabbing her with Excalibur.
• Laser-Guided Karma:
  • Skrael urges Bellroc not to interfere during the Battle of Killahead Bridge, telling her that there'll be dire consequences for her actions (since the Order are supposed to be neutral and not get involved directly). When Bellroc ignores him, it results in her losing her main eyes, costing them their victory over the Killahead Battle and forcing them to retreat into hiding to "readjust" for nine more centuries.
  • For the majority of Rise of the Titans, she mocks Jim for being powerless without his amulet and being the more superior one... until Toby blasts her with Krel's anti-magic blaster, which leaves her virtually powerless. This gives Jim the opening he needed to finish her off once and for all.
• Magma Man: Along with her fire magic, she's also capable of producing lava and controlling molten rock. Her Fire Titan is an embodiment of a living volcano that spews lava and ash.
• Near-Villain Victory: She would've united her Fire Titan with the Heartstone had it not been for Toby quickly depowering her with the Trifurcate Radiation Blaster, giving Jim a chance to finish her off once and for all.
• Necromancy: With Skrael, she is capable of death-based magic, reviving Morgana through the Amulet of Daylight and resurrecting Arthur as the Green Knight.
• Never My Fault: As soon as she kills Arthur in front of Morgana, Bellroc tells her that "Merlin's puppet is gone!" blaming him for being the reason why she killed Arthur, despite the fact she chose to do it herself.
• Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: She acts as a crusader who wants to destroy humanity for damaging the Earth too much, yet has no issue causing pointless death and destruction herself to reach her goals. When Skrael and Nari die, she continues on her goal of using the Fire Titan to cleanse the Earth despite the lack of the other two elements needed to rebuild the Earth, which would turn it instead into a Lethal Lava Land. This ultimately proves that her supposed "good intentions" are just mere egotistical hatred of all life and she merely uses humans as a petty excuse to destroy the entire universe.
• Playing with Fire: While an accomplished sorceress, Bellroc holds a particular affinity toward fire magic. Her Titan is also a volcanic-based elemental sealed beneath the open waters of the South China Sea.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The hot-blooded and aggressive member to Skrael's more cold and calculating one.
• Satanic Archetype: She is the closest to one in Tales of Arcadia: she's the leader of an ancient trio of beings that existed before the beginning of the universe, plays a crucial role in turning Morgana into the Order's "champion", and plans on destroying the universe and using the Fire Titan to remake the Earth as a world of fire, which can be considered a hellish motif.
• Sinister Scythe: Her weapon of choice.
• Villain Has a Point: Although she's just trying to dampen Jim's confidence and was clearly underestimating him, Bellroc's right that Jim's virtually powerless to go against her without his amulet, as he relied on it too heavily in the past. She was also somewhat right to call out Jim's "hubris" when he once more attempts to fight her head-on without much of a plan. It's not until the last minute that Jim's rebuilt amulet arrives that he's finally able to summon his Magitek Armor and gain the upper hand he required to fight against her evenly.
• Would Hurt a Child: Has no qualms about attempting to incinerate children among the Innocent Bystanders while blackmailing Douxie into giving her Nari.
• Wreathed in Flames: During the first battle in Rise of the Titans, Bellroc engulfs herself in fire after the Trifurcate Radiation Blaster doesn't work due to being attached to Stuart's truck, which is forced to halt due to a construction site.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: It was heavily implied that Bellroc would've killed Nari and Skrael had they not done their Mutual Kill, given that she continued her goal to move her Fire Titan to the Heartstone, destroy the universe, and turn the Earth into a Lethal Lava Land instead of a "paradise" as initially intended.

"Nari, what are you doing?"

Appearances: Wizards (2020) | Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans

Voiced by: Piotr Michael

The right-hand of the Arcane Order with powerful ice/wind magic.

---

• An Ice Person: Holds mastery over frosty Northern winds, meaning he has ample capacity to create ice and freeze everything in his path. His Titan is also a glacier-based elemental sealed within the icy plains of Greenland.
• Blow You Away: As his title suggests, Skrael is capable of controlling wind magic.
• The Dragon: To Bellroc. Even after Nari decides to leave the Arcane Order, Skrael remains the more subservient one of the two.
• Evil Is Deathly Cold: His powers are ice-based and he plots to destroy the universe.
• Evil Sounds Raspy: Speaks in a more raspy, low voice, reminiscent of a wind's whisper.
• For the Evulz: The real reason why Skrael even bothers following Bellroc as her right-hand is that he craves torturing "annoying mortals" and disregarding all life in general.
• Hero Killer: He kills Nari by stabbing her Earth Titan with his Ice Titan, which her life force is linked to.
• Human Popsicle: Can use his ice magic to trap his victims in blocks of ice and render them immobilized.
• Hypocrite: Skrael claims that he and his brethren created the Earth to become a paradise until humanity abused their freedom and grew hostile against magics, despite being corrupt himself and fully intending to destroy the universe, which would've killed both humans and magics alike, as well as everything and everyone else, and go on to remake the Earth as a Slippy-Slidey Ice World.
• It Amused Me: Why he was torturing Steve. He claims he's sorry when he realizes he's interrupting Bellroc's monologue, but continues to do it anyway, showing his apology to be insincere.
• Kick the Dog: Skrael has a very sadistic habit of rubbing the salt into the wounds of his victims, seeing as how he is the most personally evil member of the Arcane Order, even more so than Bellroc despite her being his leader and having a higher kill count. Skrael is the one who reveals to Morgana that the Green Knight, King Arthur, gave him and Bellroc the idea of returning her from the Shadow Realm, and is also the one to taunt the heroes in the Arcane Order's fortress that they lost because Merlin was killed by his own "champion". When the Arcane Order capture Nari, he adds to Bellroc's threat by telling Douxie that his friends will also die, despite Bellroc only threatening to kill random citizens. After looking back at Stricklander's Senseless Sacrifice, Skrael gives off a smug grin as Jim looks in anguish, while Bellroc wasn't aware of Toby's Heroic Sacrifice. And finally, he's the one who kills Nari in cold blood, who was the only other member of the Order, besides Bellroc, who also helped create the Earth as a "paradise" alongside them.
• Mutual Kill: How he dies against Nari. He freezes Nari solid and lets her brittle form shatter into pieces, but before she completely dies, she impales Skrael with her roots and slowly tears him apart, taking him with her.
• Necromancy: With Bellroc, he is capable of death-based magic, reviving Morgana through the Amulet of Daylight and resurrecting Arthur as the Green Knight.
• Not So Above It All: When the Trollhunters try to con their way into getting Jim back from their fortress, Skrael stops Steve by creating an ice-slick beneath his feet. As Steve struggles to gain his footing, Skrael becomes distracted making him slip and skate around before Bellroc gets his attention, admitting that he was having fun.
• Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Like Bellroc, he claims that he's doing what's right by restoring the balance between magic and mortal, but never acknowledges that he and the Arcane Order were causing far more damage than balance. By the time Nari left the Order, Skrael no longer cares about "balance" and just wants to unlock the Genesis Seals, destroy the universe, and remake the world. This point becomes further clear when it's revealed that all three Titans are needed to restore the Earth back to "first creation", but he still kills Nari who controls the Earth Titan so he can presumably deal with Bellroc and turn the Earth into a Slippy-Slidey Ice World.
• The Old North Wind: Skrael possesses an affinity for ice and wind magic, his title even evoking the idea of a personification of the North Wind.
• Pet the Dog: Very downplayed, but he manages to show just an ounce of concern for Nari (who's actually Archie in disguise) when he suspects that she was "unwell".
• Power Floats: Is almost never seen touching the ground or walking, just floating or flying above it.
• Pragmatic Villainy: Skrael urges Bellroc not to interfere during the Battle of Killahead Bridge, telling them that there'll be dire consequences as their actions may not go as well as planned. When Bellroc ignores him and interferes, Skrael looks a bit displeased, either because it shatters the Order's supposed neutrality once and for all, or because their intervention would cost them their intended victory (more likely the latter). Bellroc not heeding Skrael's warning results in her losing her main eyes, and the Arcane Order losing the Battle of Killahead Bridge.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue cold and calculating member of the Arcane Order to counter-balance Bellroc's red aggressive and impulsive persona.
• Smug Snake: Knows that his Ice Titan can reform itself, and after proving how meaningless Strickler's sacrifice would be and how it would hurt Jim, Skrael leaves the scene with a sinister grin.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist: Has a very raspy, soft voice, but is also the most openly sadistic of the Arcane Order and shows visible delight in playing with his prey.
• Spotting the Thread: As sadistic as he is, Skrael is skillful with observation.
  • During a brief peace talk in "Wizard Underground," Skrael is rightfully baffled and suspicious as to why Merlin and Douxie are willing to trade them Nari, whom he and Bellroc need to end the universe, for a corrupted Beast Jim.
    Skrael: [suspiciously to Douxie] You would give up your only advantage? What does this gain you?
  • Later on, he observes Morgana's remorseful behaviors after her resurrection, calls her "naïve", and was clearly suspicious when she suggests looking for Nari in the Shadow Realm. His suspicions were proven true when Morgana betrays the Order and joins the heroes.
• Would Hit a Girl: Remorselessly attacks and bests Claire three times and then impales Nari's Earth Titan with extreme prejudice while she painfully freezes solid until her body shatters.
• Would Hurt a Child: He thrives in torturing and harming children, whether physically or emotionally.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: It's heavily implied that, had he survived his battle with Nari, Skrael would've continued on to kill Bellroc as well before moving the Ice Titan to the Heartstone, destroying the universe, and turning the Earth into a Slippy-Slidey Ice World instead of a "paradise" as initially intended.

Appearances: Wizards (2020) | Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans

Voiced by: Angel Lin

The former left-hand of the Arcane Order with powerful nature/earth magic.

---

• Alien Blood: Similar to how Bellroc bleeds lava, Nari bleeds green fluid (likely chlorophyll).
• Beware the Nice Ones: While a member of the Arcane Order, Nari was shown capable of close combat against the knights. In Rise of the Titans, Nari was not happy that Bellroc and Skrael brainwashed her to hurt innocent lives. Skrael learns the hard way how dangerous Nari is when provoked.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: Unwillingly falls under Bellroc's control when forced to help the Order break the Genesis Seals and Bellroc (through Nari) forced the Earth Titan to approach Arcadia and even made Nari kill Nomura. It's not until Douxie makes it to Nari's body that she snaps out of it with no memory.
• The Cutie: Small, cute, and generally gentle to all living things.
• Earthy Barefoot Character: She's the one member of the Arcane Order who is connected to the earth and nature as opposed to Bellroc and Skrael's fire and ice-based elements, with the rest of her title being "of the Eternal Forest". And she's barefoot.
• The Empath: She can feel the souls of every living being on the planet. It's this power that convinces her what the Order is doing is wrong.
• Friend to All Living Things: Literally speaking, given she has an emphatic bond with all living beings and implicitly feels their pain, thus she's a very friendly creature to every living being. Nari especially loves interacting with humans, even children, in spite of Bellroc's general disregard for them.
• Gaia's Vengeance: After being freed from Bellroc's control, Nari unleashes the power of her Earth Titan on Skrael.
• Green Thumb: She holds a particular affinity towards plant magic. Her Titan is also a terrain-based elemental sealed underneath the grassy jungles of Brazil.
• Heel–Face Turn: An interesting example is when we first meet her, she is on Merlin's side but when Douxie and co. go to the past, she is a full-on member of the Order. After the final battle of Killahead, it's feeling all the suffering the Order caused that eventually convinces her to switch sides.
• Heel Realization: She switched sides after feeling the pain that the Arcane Order caused, and asked why they were doing that to reform the world.
• Literally Shattered Lives: She dies in a Mutual Kill against Skrael's Titan, with her using her powers to tear Skrael apart, while Skrael uses his own powers to freeze Nari solid and leave her state brittle enough to fall apart into pieces shortly afterward.
• MacGuffin Super-Person: All three members of the Arcane Order need to be present to break the Genesis Seals and summon their Titans, so Bellroc and Skrael are hunting her down after her defection.
• Mutual Kill: She forces one on Skrael and his Titan, using her own Titan and powers to kill Skrael by impaling him with her roots, while Skrael freezes her solid and lets her transmuted state shatter into pieces.
• The Napoleon: Subverted. While she is the shortest of the three, she is not the least bit belligerent. She's actually the most kindhearted, even before she defected from the Order.
• Nature Spirit: Appears to be a primordial spiritual guardian/embodiment of nature itself. Out of Bellroc and Skrael's outcomes when combining their Titans with the Heartstone, Nari's element alone would likely turn the Earth into a Hungry Jungle.
• Nice Girl: A very kind and gentle soul, her brief stint with the Arcane Order's more forceful plans notwithstanding.
• Plant Person: Out of all of the Arcane Order, her humanity is the most ambiguous, her hair is made out of leaves, her skin partially green, and the antler-like branches attached to her head.
• Punny Name: "Nari" is Korean for "lily".
• Senseless Sacrifice: Nari kills Skrael and herself in a Mutual Kill to prevent the three Titans from uniting with each other. Unfortunately, it's revealed that all Nari managed to do was stop Skrael from turning the Earth into a Slippy-Slidey Ice World and give the heroes one less Titan to worry about. Bellroc, meanwhile, is still at large after her Fire Titan bested the Gun Robot Megasuit in Hong Kong and intends to turn the world into a Lethal Lava Land. Therefore, the heroes must resort in directly fighting Bellroc without a Titan.
• Taking You with Me: When her Earth Titan is stabbed by Skrael's Ice Titan, she ensures that Skrael killing her also ends with his death as well.
• Token Good Teammate: Even during her time as a member of the Arcane Order, she was by far the most compassionate out of the members. Which causes her to change her mind about committing genocide on mankind and defect from the Order.

The second heir of Camelot, Morgana was King Arthur's sister and Merlin's apprentice before her fall into dark magic. She is also the one who granted Angor Rot his immense power at the cost of his soul and inadvertently orchestrated the conflict between humans and trollkind during the Age of Camelot.

---

• Ambiguously Human: When she is first seen, the only part shown is a suspiciously human-like hand. When we see her physiology in full, her body is Wreathed in Flames, so it is unclear if she is either a human or troll to any capacity. Revealed to be human-looking in season 3, though Merlin claims that she was "much older" than him, implying that she was a Humanoid Abomination or god of some sort.
  • Turns out she was human, although the ones who gave her that power though are of a different story…
• Ambiguously Lesbian: Morgana seems just as broken up about what happened to Guinevere as Arthur. When she conjures a flower for a projection of Guinevere, one could not help but think that as her own kind of confession.
• The Archmage: Either this or her boast of godhood was true. She easily outclasses everyone else except fully powered Merlin. She solos all of the Trollhunters, including the released spirits of the past Trollhunters, and would have won if it weren't for Angor Rot's Heel–Face Turn.
• Big Bad Duumvirate: Forms one with Gunmar in Part 3.
• Brutal Honesty: During Angor Rot's faustian bargain. What Morgana has done to him was cruel and vindictive, and she's entirely at fault for causing him so much pain, but she never holds back her true feelings.
  Morgana: You fool, your flesh is worth NOTHING.
• Casting a Shadow: Her magic is this, but it's manifested as a bright golden light.
• Cessation of Existence: This was implied to be her fate after her defeat in Trollhunters, her prolonged stay in the Shadow Realm after her defeat requiring Bellroc and Skrael to use her essence in the Amulet of Daylight to return her to Earth.
• Clipped-Wing Angel: In Trollhunters, Morgana was unstoppable, the Trollhunters were incapable of killing her and were forced to imprison her in the Shadow Realm. By the time she was resurrected near the end of Wizards, she is noticeably weaker, a mix of Merlin having regained his power from the Staff of Avalon and forcibly resurrected from the fragment of her essence in the Amulet likely caused this.
• Complete Immortality: She suffers no ill effects for being trapped in a crystal for hundreds of years (and being conscious the whole time) and shrugs off being impaled by Jim's sword, boasting that she cannot be killed. Inverted, as Merlin was somehow able to cut her left hand off to make the Amulet, revealed in Wizards to have been done by Arthur with Excalibur. And later, when she's struck with an onyx shard and slowly dies from it until she crushes herself with a large piece of Camelot.
• Composite Character: Morgan le Fay of Arthurian legend and Baba Yaga of Russian Mythos are one and the same.
• The Corrupter: With the title "Mother of Monsters", she's the creator of changelings, which are known to have been normal trolls before something was done to them. She turned Angor Rot into her soulless servant. And she took control of Claire once she used the staff to its fullest capacity.
• Cruel Mercy: In her battle with Jim during the Eternal Night, she flat-out tells him that she spared his friends so that they would be Forced to Watch her kill him.
• Dark Is Evil: Strickler claims that Claire has no shadow while Morgana possesses her because she is a shadow.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Why she's so hellbent on slaying Trollhunters:
  Jim: Geez, lady! What did I ever do to you?!
  Morgana: Merlin never told you what he used to craft your Amulet, did he?! HE TOOK MY LEFT HAND!
• Even Evil Has Standards: The moment that cemented her turning against the Arcane Order was when Arthur killed Merlin in cold blood. It's one thing that she wanted to murder Merlin since the man saw her as nothing more than a pawn and he used her hand to make the Trollhunter amulet. Merlin, however, was blindly loyal to Arthur and killed when he hesitated on seeing his former king's face. Morgana is shocked and asked Arthur why he would murder the one wizard that always believed in him.
• Face–Heel Turn: She was once a genuinely kind and compassionate woman who loved her brother and still sought to protect magical creatures from his angry grief. However, having been fed up by Arthur's arrogance and prejudice, Morgana loses her cool and turns on everyone, which sets her down the path to becoming the ultimate Big Bad in Trollhunters. Eventually, after she is (unwillingly) resurrected from the Shadow Realm, she reflected on her actions and ultimately wished to atone for her mistakes and rest in peace by striping her undead brother of Excalibur for a new generation of heroes and and sacrifices herself to save the world from Arthur's reign of chaos.
• Fatal Flaw: Pride. Despite her more-or-less good intentions, Morgana's greatest flaw had been, in fact, her hubris, viewing beings of magic (herself included) to be greater and more than the magic-fearing masses, especially her brother and to some extent, Merlin. In Morgana's eyes, others fear the magical and would quash it whereas she did not fear magic in any shape or form, for from her point of view, magic was true strength. However, her pride grew to the point where she turned on her own allies, believing them all to be "traitors" when they tried to help her reconcile with her paranoid brother. After being gifted the title of the "Eldritch Queen" by the Arcane Order, Morgana allowed her own arrogance and pain to turn her into the very same Wicked Witch the Trollhunters confront to end her Eternal Night.
• Final Boss: She is this for Trollhunters, being the only antagonist still active after Gunmar is killed.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: She and Arthur switch these roles throughout Wizards. She admits they're both grieving Gwen, who was killed by magical creatures, and understands his wrath, but she cannot let him cause genocide in the name of revenge. Arthur makes her hunt down the trolls as a test of loyalty, hearing her declarations as potential treason. The roles reverse when she becomes the Pale Lady with the Arcane Order's help after her first death. Arthur sheathes his sword at the Battle of Killahead and apologizes to her, saying he was wrong to treat her and others so poorly. Then they switch back when Morgana realizes the Arcane Order doesn't have benevolent intentions.
• For the Evulz: Implied in Trollhunters, but is ultimately subverted in Wizards. Merlin claimed to the Trollhunters that Morgana only supports Gunmar's campaign because she thrives on chaos and destruction. In Wizards, her reasons were much nobler, wanting to defend magic from the likes of her prejudicial brother and Jumping Off the Slippery Slope when their animosity boiled over. After witnessing Arthur's death at the hands of Bellroc, she vows to kill everyone, humans and magics alike, as well as Merlin's legacy, until everyone could feel her agony.
• A God Am I: She compares herself to a god while possessing Claire, possibly as a legit moment of narcissism and as a means of intimidating the heroes. She also has temples to her and her habit of having multiple titles alludes to theonyms.
• Greater-Scope Villain: She granted Angor Rot his power in exchange for his soul and used him as an assassin against Merlin's Trollhunters. She relays instructions to the Janus Order through a gramophone, and even Gunmar shuts up to listen when she is brought up in conversation. It is then revealed that Morgana was the one who (indirectly) orchestrated the strife between Trolls and mankind which led to Arthur and Gunmar's war in the first place.
• Have You Seen My God?: When Gunmar escapes the Darklands midway through Season 2, she promptly stops communicating with the Janus Order.
• Heel–Face Turn: At the very end of Wizards, she proves her reformation by stripping her vile undead brother of Excalibur for the new generation of heroes and sacrificed herself to end Arthur's reign of darkness once and for all, ultimately joining Merlin in the afterlife.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: She's ultimately defeated through the use of the Shadow Staff, her own weapon which was taken from her by Claire. Claire shoves her into the shadow realm using the staff then Toby destroys it so she can never escape.
• Humanoid Abomination: She is an incredibly powerful… something… who holds the title of "Eldritch Queen." She has power over the souls of others and can imbue them with great, nigh-unstoppable magic. When she appears at the end of Season 2, she is humanoid but her body is Wreathed in Flames.
• Hypocrite: In Wizards, it is revealed that she turned to the dark side when Arthur launched a campaign against magic and magical creatures, seeing them as the victims and developing a misanthropic outlook towards Muggles. However, she has no qualms with Gunmar's tyrannical treatment of his fellow trolls and it was implied that once Gunmar and the Gumm-Gumms had wiped out humanity after the Eternal Night, she would have killed them afterward when they served their purpose. In other words, she claims that she fights for magic's freedom against the tyranny of prejudiced mortals, yet her Face–Heel Turn turned her into a prejudiced tyrant herself. Morgana herself realizes how foolish she was when the Arcane Order resurrects her the second time.
• I Have Many Names: Invoked. Argante. Lady Pale. Baba Yaga. Eldritch Queen. She has many names.
• Light Is Not Good: One of her titles is Pale Lady and her true appearance seems to be a living flame. Her actual truest form is a lady clad in golden armor with no aesthetically "dark" characteristics. In fact, her golden magic often contrasts with Claire's purple one.
• Made of Magic: Her left arm was a key ingredient in the creation of the Amulet of Daylight.
• Magic Eater: She was able to absorb most of Merlin’s magic in the process of her imprisonment and later siphons the power of the Staff of Avalon before he could use it against her.
• Misplaced Retribution: Bellroc killed Arthur right in front of Morgana, yet the latter decides to blame Merlin for her brother's death, extends her hatred of Merlin to his Trollhunters, and cover the entire world in her Eternal Night so everyone could "feel [her] agony". After her resurrection from the Shadow Realm, she came to realize how foolish her blind hatred towards Merlin was and realized too late it was the Arcane Order who caused her so much pain, and eventually, an undead Arthur himself.
• Near-Villain Victory: Would've succeeded in killing the Trollhunters and her Eternal Night would've reached full strength if it weren't for Angor Rot's Heel–Face Turn.
• Necromancer: She is able to take the souls of others and was able to resurrect Angor Rot when his eye is presented before her.
• Never My Fault: Morgana blamed Merlin for Arthur's death, which was actually done by Bellroc, the very being who granted her the title Eldritch Queen, and she even witnessed Bellroc murdering her brother firsthand. Truth be told, it was her fault for trusting the Arcane Order which would lead to her brother's death, just when he's on the brink of redemption on his part.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: When she resurrects Angor Rot, she returns his soul to him in the process. This leads to Jim confronting him, pointing out that he no longer has the "enslavement" excuse for all of his horrible actions, reminding him of the hero he once was and leading to his Heroic Sacrifice.
• Redemption Demotion: She's much less powerful when she's brought Back from the Dead by the Arcane Order the second time around. By that time, she does not share the Order's ideals anymore and just wants to rest forever already. This is highlighted further in her fight with Arthur, where she just can't hit him directly with magic and has to attack him physically.
• Redemption Equals Death: Sacrifices herself to stop the corrupted Arthur.
• Red Right Hand: Her left hand is green since we know her left hand was used to make the amulet, her hand replaced with a magic construct as a gift of good faith from Nari and the Arcane Order.
• Rule of Symbolism: Morgana losing her left hand to Arthur might be a reference to the generic term, the Left-Hand Path, which often refers to those who practice the dark arts, like herself. She believed more in her strength and sorcery rather than miracles, such as when Douxie and Claire tried to help her make amends with Arthur, only to steer her more into darkness. After the death of Arthur, Morgana was bent on ruling the world with selfish supremacy so that everyone, humans and magics alike, could "feel [her] agony". However, at best, she truly believed that she could form her own destiny, but lost sight of how.
  • At the end, Morgana completely loses her prosthetic left hand while stripping Arthur of Excalibur. This could symbolize Morgana seeing the error of her ways, just before she sacrifices herself to end her undead brother's reign once and for all.
• Sealed Evil in a Can:
  • She's sealed in a massive crystal, though her mind can wander to places of sufficient power.
  • In the series finale, Blinky, AAARRRGGHH!!! and Toby rescue Claire from Morgana after Toby destroys the Shadow Staff, thus resulting in the witch being trapped in the Shadow Dimension.
• Sympathy for the Devil: Despite all the horrible deeds she's done, Claire and Douxie can't help but feel sorry for Morgana in the past and why she became the Wicked Witch in the future.
• Speak of the Devil: Troll lore believes that her real name "Morgana" is cursed, thus they would prefer to use her many titles, such as "The Pale Lady." It is not until Usurna says her true name multiple times that she starts hearing her voice from the record player. Morgana frequently tells people to "call to me" and that "I will return."
• Start of Darkness: Wizards ultimately shows how Morgana became Merlin's most accomplished student to a vile sorceress bent on humanity's destruction and helping Gunmar bring for the Eternal Night.
• Take Over the World: Morgana outright tells Angor that the world will belong to her after the Eternal Night takes place, though the events shown in Wizards seem to imply that she wants to rule over trollkind as a benevolent queen following her genocide on mankind.
• A Taste of Their Own Medicine: In Trollhunters, Morgana resurrects Angor Rot - a troll to who she bestowed magic power - in exchange for his never-ending servitude - and more or less forces him to continue serving her against his will, leading to a Heel–Face Turn since his soul is within him again. In Wizards, the wizards who gave her her unimaginable power Bellroc and Skrael resurrects her from her peaceful inexistence in the Shadow Realm back into serving them, their manipulations of her and her brother Arthur causing her to betray them in-kind.
• Tragic Villain: What Morgana is proven to be in Wizards, even more so than Arthur. She truly meant well in the beginning and helped Claire and Douxie buy time for a transformed Jim to escape from her brother. Then her little brother Arthur dies, and it goes downhill from there.
• Unwanted Revival: Is not happy when Bellroc and Skrael revive her with the Amulet in Wizards, since she was at peace in the Shadow Realm, begging them to return her to her rest.
• Villain Has a Point:
  • While dueling Arthur after her Face–Heel Turn, she rightfully calls him out for outlawing and executing those related to magic (mainly trolls and wizards), yet he fights with an enchanted sword and only tolerates wizards only if they're under his watch.
  • Her frustrations towards Merlin are somewhat justified as she repeatedly calls her master out for playing the Long Game for too long, allowing Arthur to be consumed by his arrogance and prejudice. So, in context, Merlin is the reason why Arthur jaded into a prejudiced tyrant and a loyal enforcer to the Arcane Order on his own accords. Merlin came to realize Morgana was right all along, but too late as it ironically costs him his life at the hands of the very same king he blindly followed.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Despite Merlin claiming in Trollhunters that she's only there because she was craving chaos, Wizards shows that Morgana truly meant well for trollkind, as she helped rescue the trolls from the dungeons in Camelot and consistently tried to stop Arthur's prejudice. This explains why she wanted to unleash the Eternal Night upon the Earth as it would've blocked out the sun so trolls can thrive, and also why she saw killing several Gumm-Gumms as a sacrifice. Additionally, even though she had Gunmar as a servant, who otherwise sees both trolls and humans as inferior, Morgana explains to Angor that she was just using Gunmar as a pawn and was going to kill him once he was no longer necessary for her plans.
• Wicked Witch: In Trollhunters, Morgana was clearly evil to the heroes and possessed great magic which helped Gunmar begin the Eternal Night. In Wizards, however, she began as a benevolent yet paranoid sorceress before Jumping Off the Slippery Slope.
• Would Hurt a Child: First, she possesses Claire, practically torturing her. Then she tries to force Claire to kill her boyfriend, Jim, who is 16 years old. In addition, she also holds Claire in the Shadow Realm forever and tries to kill Jim in his half-troll form. She also attacks Toby unprovoked when he tries to introduce himself to her.
• Wreathed in Flames: She first manifests looking like a human woman with glowing eyes and on fire.
• You Are What You Hate: Morgana despised King Arthur's prejudiced tyranny against magical creatures and wished to fight for magics. However, her Jumping Off the Slippery Slope turned her into a prejudiced tyrant herself, only hating all of humanity in general, as well as magical creatures who fight for them. She even assassinated countless Trollhunters through Angor Rot just because of their "allegiance" with Merlin. However, during her time in the Shadow Realm, she reflected on all of her actions and what she had become when she endangered not only humanity, but other magical creatures with her Eternal Night, and even treated her own "kind" as pawns, including Angor Rot and Gunmar. She realized that her own prejudice against mortals turned her into a tyrant, just like her brother.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Plans on disposing of Gunmar and probably the other Gumm-Gumms once their conquest of the surface is complete.
• Your Soul Is Mine!: She outright invokes this trope after she bestowed Angor Rot great magical power like he asked, unwittingly in exchange for his own soul, imprisoning it within the Inferna Copula.

The Green Knight (SPOILERS!!)

The Green Knight

"It ends… now!"

Appearances: 3Below | Wizards (2020)

Voiced by: James Faulkner

The Arcane Order's enforcer with powerful Anti-Magic, who happens to be King Arthur himself.

See King Arthur's folder under "Other Humans"

Titans

Titans

"Imbued by the Arcane's primordial energies, three Titans were their handmaidens to the birth of the universe."

Appearances: Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans

A set of primal elemental beings that are summoned by the Arcane Order to fight for them and served as their "handmaidens" during the Age of First Creation.

---

• Can't Live Without You: They can't survive without the members of the Arcane Order each one is linked to. When Bellroc gets slain by Jim, the Fire Titan crumbles.
• Color Motifs: The holographic runes they project matches their respective color (orange for fire, white for ice, and green for nature).
• Elemental Motifs: Bellroc controls the Fire Titan, Skrael controls the Ice Titan and Nari controls the Earth Titan.
• Humongous Mecha: A magical version of this.
• Mocap Mecha: A magical version of this.
• Restart the World: The Titans have the power to start life anew if all three unite with the last surviving primordial Heartstone, which is housed underneath Arcadia Oaks. However, if only one Titan succeeds in doing so without the other two, the world with restart as that element alone. In this case, if the Fire Titan alone unites with the Heartstone, the world will become a Lethal Lava Land.
• Synchronization: As their life forces are linked, the Titans and their respective demigods seem to share pain sensations between them. However, this is not shown to happen when the Titans are damaged through non-magical means — Bellroc isn't affected by the Fire Titan losing an arm to the Gun Robot Megasuit, and Skrael is able to reform the Ice Titan when it's blasted apart by normal explosives (but was able to feel a cannonball in his Titan's shoulder) — suggesting that it has to be magic (or each other, specifically) for them to be permanently harmed.
• Time Abyss: They were used by the Arcane Order as their handmaidens to create the universe.
