The world of The Last Sovereign has been plagued for a long time by the existence of Incubus Kings, magical overlords with a supernatural control of sexual magic, given to them by a mystical "shard", said to be a shard of the soul of the Succubus god, the Lustlord. Simon's initial goal is to end the one that has been plaguing Arclent for forty years (at the start of the game), but things soon prove more complicated than that.
Revelations much further in the game seem to imply that they are some sort of metaphysical opposite to the Goddesses.


    open/close all folders 

    As a whole 
  • Black-and-Grey Morality: The best of them are still rather morally grey individuals. The worst of them are megalomaniacal, destructive Evil Overlords capable of wreaking havoc on a continental scale.
  • Gender-Restricted Ability: According to Riala, the shards seemingly reject female would-be Incubus Kings, which is why it's a big deal that the Empress managed to obtain one and bend it to her will, and likely also why Incubus Kings, with only two exceptions (three counting Simon), seem to be very misogynistic.
  • Mind Manipulation: An usual application of their powers.
  • Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering: It's a long-held tradition of the shard-holders to all convene to meetings of peers called the Gatherings. Due to the ego of the people involved, they tend to turn into this very quickly.
  • The Pornomancer: Their powers tend to be geared almost exclusively towards this, though they also have combat applications. The way they use them varies, but tends to rarely be moral.
  • Uniqueness Decay: At first it appears that the Incubus King is the only one but as the game goes on more just keep popping up to the point that it becomes a running gag that there are so many.
  • Villain Teleportation: All the major kings have shown the ability to teleport. The Lustlord makes his teleport effect especially flashy to impress his godhood on witnesses.
  • Walking Spoiler: Just using the plural gives away the twist that there are more shard-bearers than just the Incubus King of Arclent, something the protagonists don't learn until at least a third of Chapter 2 in.
  • You Kill It, You Bought It: The shards that give them power separate from their soul when they die, so someone who managed to kill an Incubus King could become one themselves.

    The Incubus King of Arclent/The Incubus Emperor 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/incubus_king_dt_6.png

The only Incubus King on Arclent (at least, before Simon acquires his shard).

It's mentioned that he arrived on Arclent about forty years before the start of the game leading a horde of succubi and orcs, and managed to conquer a third of the continent, but finally was contained by the coalition of human kingdoms united by the Church of Ivala.

He's shown from the start of the game to be not just a cruel and selfish individual, but also stupid and flighty, more interested in coming up with and pursuing bizarre fetishes than actually governing, and as a result his domain is a mess of disorganization, barely held together by fear of his power and a landscape mostly still devastated by the aftermath of the corrupting magic slung around by his hordes during the war.

At the start of the game, he's the main antagonist, but Simon soon learns that he's not the only one, and more dangerous enemies than him lie in wait outside of his home continent...


  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Seems incapable of focusing on one thing, jumping from one stupid fetish to the next all the time. Iris notes how this was likely what prevented him from conquering all of Arclent when he had the chance.
  • Bad Boss: Constantly ignores, berates and makes stupid faces at Iris whenever she's trying to get him to pay attention to serious issues. There's also the Unsuccubi...
  • Disc-One Final Boss: He's considered the ultimate threat by the protagonists at the start of the game, but he's defeated by the end of Chapter 3 (of five). Downplayed since they know that he's not the only Incubus King by about halfway through chapter 2, however.
  • Disappointed by the Motive: Just before killing him Simon asks the Emperor what his end goal was. He (and the game) hint that it was far more profound than anyone understood... but it involves forcing everyone he would have conquered to watch as he masturbates onto a portrait of his own face. To say that Simon is disappointed would be an understatement.
  • Establishing Character Moment: When he's first seen in the transition from the prologue to the first chapter, he makes it very clear what he's all about, being unaware that his empire ran out of Elves two weeks ago, then demanding that Iris procure bodily fluids from exotic animals and use them to indulge his inflation fetish with some human women and says "no homo" after talking so much about baboon semen. As Iris leaves to carry out her master's whims and talks it over with some fellow succubi, one says of him making irrational demands that "It must be Tuesday", prompting Iris to tell her not to remind her of the Incubus King's calendar fetish. In very short order, it establishes that the Incubus King has no real understanding of logistics, economics, or generally what's going on in his own kingdom if it doesn't directly affect him, that he has a wide away of fetishes, including many both sadistic and nonsensical, that he could easily have taken the whole continent if he wasn't so fixated on satisfying his numerous fetishes, and that he's very insecure about his heterosexuality.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: During Simon's final confrontation with him, he mentions how he was a weak nobody before he got his shard.
  • Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: Ironically for a sex overlord with literally every possible fetish imaginable, the man seems very squeamish about the idea of being Mistaken for Gay.
  • His Name Really Is "Barkeep": It's even lampshaded in the story how he's the only Incubus King who calls himself... just the Incubus King. He eventually changes his title to Incubus Emperor.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: During the Third Arclentian War, he unleashes the Unsuccubi as his secret weapon to get through the church's defenses, and he succeeds... but fails to consider that not only the Unsuccubi aren't much better at dealing with conventional weapons, which his enemy has in abundance, and being in constant pain make it impossible for them to act with any form of coordination or strategy, attacking their own side as much as the enemy, but their reveal has also a devastating effect on his own troops' morale. He already was despised by most of his subjects, who obeyed him only out of fear of him and of the revenge of humans, but now they realize that obeying him is not just no guarantee of not dying, but also puts them at risk of being subjected to a Fate Worse than Death, and they start defecting en masse.
  • Horns of Villainy: He seemingly wears a tiara with horns in his character portrait.
  • It's All About Me: He is incredibly self-centered and thinks little of anyone or anything that doesn't directly affect him. This is also important to how he created the Unsuccubi - through his own extreme selfishness, he was able to fuck the sexuality out of Succubi, creating the army of abominations he unleashed in the Third Arclent War.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: The Incubus Emperor implies toward the end that he has some ulterior well-intentioned motive to his madness, but it turns out he really was just a particularly cruel, hateful idiot.
  • Lack of Imagination: For someone who spends most of his time coming up with new fetishes to indulge in, he proves remarkably uncreative at the first Gathering, failing to plan an event beforehand and only coming up with a slapdash orgy the day before, which he of course leaves all of the planning of to Iris.
  • Lousy Lovers Are Losers: Even with extremely powerful sexual magic at his disposal, none of his underlings seem to have anything good to say about his sexual prowess, which is fitting considering how selfish he is - not exactly a good personality trait for pleasing other people sexually.
  • Meaningful Rename: After the Doom King conquers Yhilin the Incubus King decides to rename himself the Incubus Emperor. Firstly, because he suddenly realized that he rules an empire, not a kingdom. Secondly, it's from this point onwards that he starts to get serious about conquering the rest of Arclent.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: Fittingly, he doesn't exactly have a high opinion of women in general.
  • Psychopathic Manchild: Petulant, immature, far more interested in indulging his fetishes than in being a responsible ruler, and tends to throw temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way.
  • Race Fetish: Among his uncountable number of fetishes, he seems to also have a thing for elven and halfling women.
  • Silly Reason for War: The Incubus King declares war on Ardoheim with no notice or preparation because he decides he wants to use the king of Ardoheim's crown in a sex act (a "crownjob").
  • Too Clever by Half: The Unsuccubi were a legitimately clever strategy to defeat the anti-lust defenses he could foresee the Church of Ivala deploying with the resources available to him. It also shows that while he might be more intelligent than he normally acts, he certainly isn't any wiser and the drawbacks should have been easily foreseen by anyone with even a little sense. While they do indeed break through the Church's barriers, the Unsuccubi aren't really any better at fighting than anything else the Incubus King has and their very existence completely demoralizes his own troops.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: Due to having obtained a major shard and having held it for at least forty years, he's far stronger than Simon, but also inexperienced in combat and strategy.

    The Fucklord/Estaven 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/estaven.png

An obnoxious and perverted man who is first met by Yarra at the Gathering, he took over the country of Erosia (a Fantasy Counterpart Culture to Japan) more recently than the Incubus King conquered his domain on Arclent, but he seems to rival him in cruelty, having cast a spell over his entire domain that prevents anyone from having sex with anyone who isn't him.

He's styled after the stereotype of an Occidental Otaku, even wearing a trillby-like hat.


  • 0% Approval Rating: He has this even worse than the Incubus Emperor, since Simon meets at least one character who is loyal to him. Estaven has nobody who likes him, and doesn't care. One of the members of his harem explicitly states that he doesn't care whether women like him, only that they belong to him.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: He's convinced that magical power is all he needs to rule, and mocks Simon for not fully embracing his power.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Has the mannerisms and lack of self-awareness... but has powers that let him bypass the need for consent.
  • Do Not Adjust Your Set: Does a magical version of this after his assassination of King Kanfuor of Zirantia.
  • Embarrassing First Name: Doesn't like being called Estaven. Everyone else thinks the title he chose for himself is far more stupid and embarrassing than his real name.
  • The Evil Genius: Despite his act, he is very intelligent, at least when it comes to matters of magic, and is capable of learning from others' mistakes, to a certain extent. His ego is just so big that he can never realize when it might be better for him to bide his time and not give people who hate him an excuse to go after him.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: He was a regular human mage before acquiring his shard, though not much else is said about his past in the game.
  • Genre Blind: His demise comes because he's so secure of his superiority because of his greater magical power compared to Simon that he completely neglects the economic and political aspects of waging a war: his army is a hastily cobbled together group of magically enslaved and empowered women that is far inferior in size and power than the Doom King's army, and his country is so economically devastated that it can't even sustain that. He thinks that raw magical power and occasionally creative applications of magic can substitute for smart battlefield tactics and political and economical preparedness, not realizing what kind of story he's in.
  • Lethally Stupid: He's magically forbidden anyone in Erosia from having sex with anyone except himself, which should be a self-evident demographic disaster just waiting to happen. Even as an Incubus King, Estaven simply cannot plausibly have enough sex with enough women to maintain Erosia's population, and even if he could, it would only work for a generation before crippling levels of inbreeding set in. Essentially, in a single spell, he's doomed the entire nation of Erosia to collapse in the next few decades unless he's deposed.
  • Machiavelli Was Wrong: His ultimate demise comes because he got the wrong lesson from the Incubus Emperor's defeat, caused by his subjects hating him so much that they turned on him the second he looked like he could be beaten. So, what he chose to do was create an army enslaved through magic.
  • Mythology Gag: Estaven's title is derived from early builds of the game, which were entitled The Last Fucklord rather than The Last Sovereign. Literally everyone aside from Estaven himself thinks his title is awful.
  • Power Fist: His battle portrait has him wield what looks to be a modified gladiator scissor, with the blades at the sides instead of the front not unlike Mazinger Z's Iron Cutters.
  • Occidental Otaku: His portrait should be proof enough. Also, according to a NPC you meet in Erosia, he has said he studied the blade.
  • Rage Quit: After all his schemes and contingencies fail him and Simon and the Harem have him cornered he pulls one final trick by committing suicide in a way that shatters his Soul Shard so that Simon can't take it and spreads the remains so that minor Incubus Kings will keep cropping up for years.
  • Smarter Than You Look: He acts like a flighty moron unaware of how much contempt he inspires in everyone who is in the same room as him for more than two seconds, but he turns out to be more perceptive and ambitious than he initially seems, having started to explore the Tower around the time the game starts, while the Incubus King of Arclent had a shard for longer than him, but never used it to try and acquire true power.
  • Smug Snake: He seems to only have two moods: smug and whiny, keeping his smug grin even as he kills himself to prevent Simon from taking his shard. It only crumbles when Wendis traps his soul and begins describing, in horrifying detail, the extremely slow and painful way in which she will destroy it.
  • Straw Misogynist: Even more explicitly and disgustingly than the Incubus Emperor.
  • Villains Want Mercy: Finally breaks down in terror and starts begging Simon when Wendis describes the horribly torturous way in which she plans to destroy his soul.

    The Empress/Esthera 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/esthera.png

The first Incubus King met by Simon aside from the Incubus King of Arclent, and the only female Incubus King, ruling over the nation known as the Orgasmic Empire.

She finds the party right after Simon has to use his power to destroy a Seed of Corruption launched as part of an attempt at invasion by the Incubus King, and, believing Simon to be a servant of the true new Incubus King, offers him a deal: protection from other Incubus Kings who might want to kill him to take his shard and prevent a competitor from arising, in exchange for the Doom King becoming his vassal, and offering her Simon as a slave.

Initially seeming a cold, ruthless and cunning sadist, she turns out to be a valid ally for Simon's cause during his stay in her domain.


  • Brains and Bondage: As expected of someone who calls herself the Empress. She's also the most politically savvy of the Incubus Kings.
  • Brutal Honesty: So much so that during the story, she even tells her daughter she didn't speak with her much because she never had anything interesting to say. Ouch.
  • Death Seeker: Her final wish is to Go Out With A Bang, but has been delaying it because she can't find anyone she can trust who is also powerful enough to kill her that way, and she doesn't want to leave the world fully in the hands of her cruel, stupid fellow Incubus Kings.
  • Dominatrix: She plays up the act a lot (though how much is anyone's guess), but she states that she genuinely enjoys tying up people.
  • Drowning My Sorrows: She's a heavy drinker, hinting at what's hiding behind her mask of self-assuredness.
  • Evil Parents Want Good Kids: She hands her daughter Nalili over to Simon because she feels that she isn't fit to raise her and doesn't want to get attached again.
  • First-Name Basis: Is very particular with who she allows to call her by her first name. To anyone else, she's the Empress, thank you very much. Which is why it's such a big deal when she asks Simon to just call her Esthera.
  • Full-Circle Revolution: Downplayed in that she is nowhere near as bad as the Incubus King she overthrew, but she herself admits that the past her would despise her for how complacent and jaded she's grown.
  • Hidden Depths: There is a lot of contrasting emotions hidden behind her sadistic Ice Queen façade.
  • I Have You Now, My Pretty: A rare Gender-Inverted Example, she takes Simon as a slave. This game being the genre it is, it's not stopped just in time.
  • Lonely at the Top: As Simon discovers from one of her maids, the Empress has many things, but friends are not one of those.
  • Miles to Go Before I Sleep: Very tired of living yet she still soldiers on because she feels like she has an obligation to stand up to all the mean bullies that are the other Incubus Kings.
  • Nice to the Waiter: Seems to treat her entourage with far more respect than other Incubus Kings do, or at least on par with the Anak and the Lustlord. Subverted when her maid Chaya reveals that the Empress subjects her to horrific abuse when Simon isn't looking... and then Double Subverted right after when it turns out to be a lie constructed by Esthera to give Simon a Secret Test of Character.
  • Noble Demon: She turns out to be far less awful than her fellow Incubus Kings, though she still seemingly is okay with some... less savory practices. Of course, being a succubus, there's also a bit of Blue-and-Orange Morality in there, too.
  • Out with a Bang: The end of many of her lovers, according to her maid. Also, the end she seeks for herself.
  • Really 700 Years Old: She's far, far older than any succubus currently alive, thanks to her Immortality-granting shard.
  • Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: At one point in the game, she openly states that her long life has made her too tired about everything to much care about how her words may affect other people's feelings.
  • Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: Done to a chilling effect to Simon, when she "welcomes" him to her palace:
    Empress: Slaves in the Orgasmic Empire have rights... but not my slaves.
  • Secret Test of Character: Subjects Simon to a few of them during his stay in her empire, most notably having her personal maid ask Simon for his help escaping, pretending she was being subjected to horrifying abuse by Esthera, and later telling him not to have sex with Nalili, while actually wanting him to.
  • She Is the King: Her official title is Empress, but she still is considered an Incubus King. The reason is that women aren't supposed to be able to become Incubus Kings at all. She had to bend the laws of reality to make her shard submit to her.
  • The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female Incubus King. Turns out, it's not just a coincidence: the shards normally reject women, and she had to bend the laws of reality to force her shard to submit to her.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: The opinion she holds not about her aides, but about her peers, considering the other Incubus Kings, with two potential exceptions, are a gaggle of bullying idiots.
  • That Man Is Dead: She's been just the Empress for so long that to her, the woman before the Empress, who overthrew an Incubus King and broke the laws of reality to bend his shard to her will might as well have been a completely different person.
  • Tough Leader Façade: With a very Succubus twist, as she likes being a Dominatrix, but finds tiresome having to be the picture of a ruthless, untouchable and unflappable sadist all the time to avoid showing weakness.
  • Training from Hell: Her method of teaching Simon how to use his Incubus King powers is to beat the shit out of him. It works.
  • Villainesses Want Heroes: Her condition for providing her protection to the Doomed King is to have Simon as collateral. Her interest is apparently piqued after she figures out he's an idealist. Subverted in that she's not quite a villain herself, though she's genuinely interested in Simon's idealism, reminding her of her own younger self's ideals and hopes.
  • Who Wants to Live Forever?: An eternity of watching friends, lovers, and daughters die while she lingers on has left her bitter, jaded, and only going through the motions of ruling her country. At one point she openly wonders why other Incubus Kings haven't killed themselves out of sheer boredom.

    The Lustlord 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lustlord_1.png

The oldest of the Incubus Kings or at least, those still alive by the time the game starts, he's the host of the Gathering, where he's first met by Yarra.

He claims to be the reincarnation of the main god of Succubus theology, the Lustlord, and rules over the cold and isolated kingdom of Rodak.


  • A God Am I: Claims to be the earthly reincarnation of the Lustlord of succubus mythology.
  • A Lighter Shade of Black: From what Yarra learns by talking to his subjects, he's not as bad as most other Incubus Kings, ruling his domain of Rodak in a more hands-off way and competently, allowing his subjects many freedoms and maintaining the country's wealth despite its isolation and terrible climate.
  • Berserk Button: In her first appearance, Ginastra reveals that he once was the bottom of the Incubus King pecking order and his way of rising to the top was to be the Opportunistic Bastard. He does not like being reminded of this.
  • Evil Counterpart: Though he is more actively The Rival to the Empress, he is an evil counterpart to Simon, as he is a major military power that does not have the mental weaknesses that the Incubus Emperor and Fucklord possessed. He focuses on improving his country's economy as well as its military (as this would be detrimental to him in the long run), builds armies through experimentation and resource management, and retains most of the loyalty of the citizens of Rodak. That being said, he is still trapped in the standard mindset of an Incubus King. He believes he is the most important person in the world, treats women like they are inferior, and thinks he can only add to his power through conquest. He is older and has centuries more experience than Simon, but lacks flexibility and creativity, which are qualities Simon has in spades.
  • Fatal Flaw: He thinks that advancing his own power is the best and only way to win. He spends most of his time building his army and trying to plot attacks suprise attacks on other Incubus Kings to get their shards. The aftermath of the Erosian war shows why this fails in the long run. Both he and Simon fail to claim Estaven's shard, but while Simon wins Erosia's respect and loyalty through diplomacy and financial support, the Lustlord's invasion of Ghenalon fails as Ghenalon's troops actively unite to resist him as well as allow Simon's and the Empress's forces to move freely through their territory to help fight him off, ironically giving Simon more political influence. By the time of the second Gathering, Simon has united an entire league of nations in supporting his kingdom, Yhilin, while the Lustlord is widely loathed and remains trapped in Rodak.
  • One-Winged Angel: When Xestris uses her power to weaken him during the second Gathering, he changes from his human form to a horned shadowy figure.
  • Opportunistic Bastard: When he actually gets involved in a war, we find out what his modus operandi is: stay out of the conflict until it's almost over, then when he feels that an Incubus King has been slain, jump in, kill the weakened victor and steal his shard.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Despite his arrogance and claims of godhood, he's actually reasonable enough with his subjects, being reportedly willing to listen to their ideas and provide for their needs, as long as they're loyal.
  • Smug Snake: All the superiority he acts with towards everyone else goes out of the window the moment he's actually in danger.
  • Straw Misogynist: Of the patronizing kind. While he fancies himself a more enlightened patriarch compared to the Incubus Emperor or the Fucklord, he still has a very dim view of women and considers them unfit for power, and is obsessed with enslaving the Empress.

    The Anak of Philon/Xerces 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xerces.png

A mysterious Incubus King ruling over the nation of Philon.

First met by Yarra at the Gathering, he seems very different from many of his peers, apparently not being interested in sex much at all, being unfailingly polite and serene, as well as mostly unconcerned with the affectations of other Incubus Kings, and is hinted by the Empress to know much more than he lets on.

It's revealed much later in the game to have been a powerful Tower walker even before he acquired his shard, and claims to have as his main objective to preserve balance in the Tower, the mystical plane of power that exists just out of reach of concrete reality, from entities seeking to use it to cause destruction or acquire excessive power.


  • Ambiguously Evil: He is an Incubus King, but completely eschews their typical cruelty, always acting polite and respectful towards everyone, including party crasher queen Fheliel of Ghenalon. He's distant, letting his second in command Xestris rule in his stead, and his goals are mysterious. In Chapter 4, he tells Simon that all he's interested in is maintaining balance in the Tower and preventing the rise of beings with far too much power, that risk destroying the world. However, some of his actions during the Erosian war make his claim suspect, and it's mentioned that he's hiding something from Simon.
  • Balance Between Good and Evil: Tells Simon that his ultimate goal is to keep the balance between the two fundamental forces of the universe, and prevent power-hungry Incubus Kings from unifying the shards. How much of that is true is still up in the air.
  • Batman Gambit: He pulls one in Chapter 5 by seemingly leaving Xestris to die at the Gathering, expecting her to defect to Simon and leak to him information he had purposefully fed her to lure him into a trap. It fails because he didn't expect her to still believe in him and refuse to betray him even after his apparent betrayal.
  • Benevolent Boss: His second-in-command, Xestris, speaks of him with nothing but absolute admiration and respect and is ready to give her life for him and his cause, which she wholeheartedly believes in. This actually causes a snag in one of his plans, which required Xestris to believe he had betrayed her.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: Outright tells Simon that the moral framework he operates on is not the same as Simon's regular human one. Seemingly, he's only concerned with threats to the fundamental balance of reality: everything else is outside of the scope of his duty.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: Subverted: of all the Incubus Kings, he's possibly the only one who was already a powerful Tower-walker before even acquiring the shard.
  • Hidden Agenda Villain: He's shown right in the prologue, and his identity is revealed at the Gathering, but there still is a lot of mystery around what he truly wants, and what he's really doing. Some of it is revealed in Chapter 4, but it's still heavily implied that there's even more to him than has been revealed so far.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: He's strongly implied to be this halfway through chapter 5, when he seemingly comes out of his apathy and takes a more active role, implying that he's been working towards a Master Plan to solve the issue of imbalance more permanently.

    The Lord of Blood 
An Incubus King met at the Gathering, he doesn't rule over any nation, but rather resides in a wandering fortress of some kind. Seems to be much more interested in violence and conquest than sex compared to his peers, and is younger than most other Incubus Kings at the Gathering, with the exception of Simon and the Skullcrusher.
  • Blood Knight: If you couldn't tell from his name. One of his succubus underlings explains how he cares more for taking things rather than having them.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: Gets pissed off during the introductions at the second Gathering because the Doom King was introduced before him. Another sarcastically asks if he's conquered any continents recently.
  • Floating Continent: His "moving base" turns out to be a floating island.
  • Gladiator Games: His event for the Gathering has him organize a gladiator tournament for the orcs in attendance. Interestingly, reading the results list reveals that despite the event having been his idea his team ranked dead last.
  • Graceful Loser: During the :second Gathering, he has no issue admitting that his orcs were outclassed in his gladiatorial games, and even if he finds the ways his competitors have won not exactly within the spirit, he doesn't try to argue or complain, instead just pointing out that the next time, he'll have to revise the rules.
  • Near-Villain Victory: In Chapter 5, he's the one to reach Mithyn first, and almost manages to enslave her with his power, only dying because of the trap she set up for the Incubus King that managed to reach her.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Drops off the face of the earth once the Gathering concludes. One of his succubi mentions that it's showed him how weak he is compared to all the other Incubus Kings and that he's planning on consolidating his strength once he gets back home but that's the last we see of him. Until the second Gathering. He manages to escape that unharmed, turning up in the next story section at the head of the race to capture and enslave the Goddess of Magic.

    The Skullcrusher 
An Incubus King met at the gathering who rules over a small domain in the Renthnor Wilds.

He's the youngest Incubus King aside from Simon, and seems to be a perfectly stereotypical barbarian warlord, constantly concerned with impressing his peers and proving himself.

Meets his early death at the Gathering, at the hands of his prisoner, Ginasta, and isn't mentioned at all after that.


  • Only Six Faces: His character portrait is recycled wholesale for the minor Incubus King who pops up in Stineford after the Fucklord's shard is split and for the Skullpounder at the second Gathering. Fittingly, the guy is presented as the most stereotypical Incubus King possible.
  • Palette Swap: His character portrait is a purple version of the Lord of Blood's face and his sprite is a purple version of the generic orc sprite.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: At the second Gathering an Incubus King calling himself the Skullpounder gets introduced and he is an otherwise exact replica of the Skullcrusher. This is lampshaded mercilessly.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Got killed off as quickly as he was introduced and forgotten about even faster.

    Nyst 
A mysterious cloaked Incubus King who appears to be made out of pure darkness, who turns up from seemingly nowhere at the second Gathering.

He's actually a construct created by the Anak in order to capture a divine shard without letting his opponent know that he's behind it.


  • Artificial Human: Unlike other Incubus Kings, Nyst isn't a mortal who got a piece of a shard, but rather a magical construct created by Xerces.
  • Combat Pragmatist: Having no army of his own other than a few demons he can trick into wandering close to his enemies, he mostly stays out of combat and takes potshots at his rival Incubus Kings during the Incubus War, trying to weaken all sides equally, hoping that they'll take each other out. When the Lord of Blood reaches the Goddess of Magic, he simply waits for her to exhaust herself killing him, then ambushes her.
  • Weak, but Skilled: He has only a minor shard and in fact, only a small fragment of the Anak's shard, but he appears already knowing about the Tower and how to manipulate it and its entities, which gives him a huge edge during the Incubus War.
