Seizing and ruling ever-growing swaths of territory are this House's specialty. This sub-house takes the form of a gigantic hall showcasing vast empires and prolific rulers, similar to the Victory Wing of the House of Villainy. The denizen's temples lie between statues of themselves and other conquerors, adding to the grandeur of the house. Due to their matching principles, members of the sub-house of Tyrannical Figures often visit here and are considered honorary members.

• Enemies: Bernkastel, Nui Harime, Dio Brando, Gilgamesh, Shao Kahn, Zanza, The Combine, Anyone who takes something that Chou Chou wants
• Opposes: Laharl
• Odd Friendship: 765 Pro, Muse
• When Chou Chou sets her mind on something that she wants, there's no way of changing her desires, as she'll whatever it takes to get what she wants and is not adverse to making others into her peons by changing her personality to whatever turns her opponent on.
• Many friendship deities were impressed by Chou Chou's action at one point, as she successfully befriended a girl (again) while she was working for the Big Bad.
  • Chou Chou's success managed to impress the likes of Nanoha Takamachi, Hibiki Tachibana and Asuka who are both skilled at making their enemies into their friends.
• Many other villainous deities don't understand why Chou Chou would want to have an entire world, several of them in fact, when questioned why she wanted multiple worlds, Chou Chou said:
  "They looked pretty, so I wanted them.
  • Granted, Chou Chou did create 7 of those worlds.
  • Chou Chou also isn't into ruling her planets with an iron fist, as it doesn't interest her, also Chou Chou enjoys having friends, that's why she created her world in the first place.
  • That being said, Chou Chou's considered to be a Token Good Teammate in the House of Villains, and most of the other villainous deities generally don't like her.
• If you want something that Chou Chou wants she won't stop until it's hers, even if it means launching a ball of shampurus as big as the universe at her opponents, or charming her opponents into becoming a Shampuru, so in the long run, you're better off just giving Chou Chou what she wants. (This means you, Laharl and Gilgamesh)
  • Chou Chou is so skilled at her moe kills that she can even charm landmasses into moving for her simply because she said so.
• Chou Chou and Valvatorez both get along great because they both treat their subordinates like friends plus, the both of them have gotten the opportunity to beat up a god.
• Chou Chou's Hyper form can frequently be seen with many other childish deities with lots of energy such as the White Sisters, Francesca Lucchini, Rin Hoshizora and the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
• Due to her love of throwing tea ceremonies for her friends and her relaxed demeanour, Chou Chou Graceful can frequently be seen with other tea loving and calm deities such as Lynette Bishop, Uncle Iroh, Sharo Kirima, Akagi and Ikaruga.
  • Chou Chou Graceful is also Chou Chou's most well received Literal Split Personality because she's the least weird of all of them.
• Due to the fact that Chou Chou stopped being friends with Belleria because she accidentally destroyed Chou Chou's first world, Chou Chou looks upon other world destroyers with copious amounts of disdain.
• Many deities are confused by the fact that all 8 of Chou Chou's forms have the same English voice yet they have multiple different Japanese different Japanese voices.
• Chou Chou is admired by Ika Musume due to the fact that she conquered multiple worlds yet Ika has been having exceeding difficulty making it past a beach.
  • Ika has since been getting pointers on conquest from Chou Chou, it's speculated that Chou Chou might have wanted to teach her because Ika sounds like one of her friends.
• Chou Chou has sometimes been seen holding concerts in the House of Music as she sometimes held concerts on G-Castle back when she was still mortal(?), sometimes Chou Chou can be seen helping 765 Pro or Muse with their productions, either on-stage or behind the scenes.
• Chou Chou Sadist and Masochist are both good friends with Iris Heart, Akeno Himejima, Haruka and Ryouna due to all of them greatly enjoying pain on others as well as all them being perfectly willing to hurt Masochist because she enjoys it.
  • However, don't act kind towards Masochist as she's perfectly able to beat the shit out of you until you do hurt her.
• Despite the fact she's guilty of mood swings at the drop of a hat, Bipolar can often be seen with Noire, Rin Tohsaka and Shana.
• Even though he's a conqueror just like her, Chou Chou finds Laharl to be annoying and frequently curbstomps him for attempting to take what belongs to Chou Chou and also because he believes that a ruler should be feared by his subjects.
  • On the flip-side however, Chou Chou has become rivals with Iskander as the both of them would much rather be trusted by their soldiers rather than be followed out of fear. As such, the both of them have started to compete with each other over who can control more land. Currently, Chou Chou is winning by a landslide, thanks to having conquered multiple (20) worlds.
• Due to how Chou Chou's name is spelled, she's not to be confused for a breed of dog with a similarly spelled name.
• Many deities have noted the similarities between Chou Chou's Goddess form and Goddess Madoka such as their white dresses, long pink hair and their omnipotence. Granted, Goddess Chou Chou admitedly has much more "filling" than Goddess Madoka though.
• Pinky & the Brain have started to hang out with her (mostly in her Ego form) given her track record of world-takeovers (Pinky hangs out with the hyper and ditz versions of her sometimes).
• The irony is not lost on the deities of Pantheon when one of the literal tops of this section is not only partially good, but she's also the literal top of the entire house of Friendship. Only half of her's recognized this however (that's Sadist, Masochist, Graceful and Terse). Currently, the House of Villains still haven't had any plan for her, though there're commotion about her's ascension.

• Regarded as the most prominent threat that the heroes of Earth ever faced, Nathaniel Richards came from the far future of an Alternate Universe Earth that never went into the Dark Ages. The brilliant Nathaniel Richards got bored of his present, deciding to go to the past with the time machine he invented to conquer those eras. This is the simplest version of Nathaniel Richards's story. In truth, Richards ended up creating paradox after paradox that nothing about his backstory is consistent aside from his name, his birthright, and the fact he would adopt the infamous identity of Kang the Conqueror who would not be stopped from conquering all realities no matter which heroes stand in his way. To be specific, Kang the Conqueror within the TV Tropes Pantheon is Prime Kang who ascended alongside the distinct identities that he took on or inadvertently created. As powerful as he is, Kang has to deal with more issues throughout his tenure as a deity perhaps more than anyone due to the nature of how exists. He has been in the Pantheon longer than most people would care for, remembering things like when the Main House had a list of gods or when the forbidden F and D words were prevalent. He reminisces when his profile pic was his The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes variant as a spotty png. The conqueror is simply awaiting the day that the Pantheon is vulnerable enough for him to strike to take over himself. It is not as if this is the first reality he has ever conquered, nor it would be the last. He has experienced more possible futures than anybody else barring the beings with the greatest foresight, so Kang is not meant to be underestimated.
  Kang: I have seen some things that should not even have happened. This giant ball of light vaporized everybody and created a new universe out of reality's remains. I have seen tiny deformed versions of deities float around people. I have even seen Dark Enemy of the World hide within the body of a teenage girl. I remember it so you don’t have to.
• To explain the incarnations of Nathaniel Richards in the briefest sense without going into what are essentially clones spun off from himself, Nathaniel Richards made sure that his villainous path was taken by appearing to his younger teenage self. Needless to say, Nathaniel "Nate" Richards did not take it well that he would become one of the most infamous threats across existence. Going back in time, Nate Richards joined the Young Avengers as Iron Lad, donning an armor that is synched to his brain. At some point though, Nate embraces his villainous identity and becomes Kid Immortus, a precursor to the supervillain almost every hero would face at some point. Richards would go back to his native time, only to go forth to ancient Egypt where he would don the identity of Pharaoh Rama-Tut and rule it. Eventually, he was ousted by the Fantastic Four and eventually met Victor von Doom whom he was inspired. Donning an armor similar to Doom's, Richards became the Galactic Conqueror Scarlet Centurion that conquered 40th century Earth and hounded the Squadron Supreme as one of their oldest foes. The Scarlet Centurion identity would be retired after a devastating defeat by the Avengers and a new identity would be created. He baptizes his new self as Kang the Conqueror, his most infamous incarnation whose conquest attempts have reached farther than all other versions of himself. Apparently, Kang would don the armor of Doctor Doom and took Doom's mantle after becoming Rama-Tut for a brief time. All good things come to an end, and eventually, Richards went to retire but the Time Keepers arrived to recruit him. Nathaniel Richards became Immortus, an immortal whose job is to fix temporal paradoxes that a good majority can be attributed to his past self. There are likely more iterations of himself that existed and perhaps an incarnation after Immortus may appear one day. Though those a stories for another time.
  • Then there are the variants of Prime Kang created by himself as either guises or some convoluted mess that he does not want to dive into deeply. Victor Timely was an identity that Kang took on to hide from his enemies as an influential politician and industry leader with Timely Industries. He set the foundations of technology that his humanity would utilize for eons. There is also Mister Gryphon, an unintentional creation from Kang due to glitches in the timestream. Mister Gryphon became CEO of the powerful Qeng Industries that had roots in supervillainy, hiding his temporal powers very well. Finally, there is a guise that Immortus took as Bender, an eccentric lanky man whose mania hides the fact that he is just doing the will of Immortus. Bender presumable holds all the capabilities of Immortus, though Bender is rather nonchalant about it. There are a plethora of other Kang variants though they are not spun from Prime Kang and the Pantheon could only allow so many iterations before things get messy.
  • He Who Remains is a strange outlier to Kang's history as he is a variant Richards who established his methods of keeping the peace across time and space, like Immortus though He Who Remains had autonomy over his actions. He created the Time Variance Authority to stop divergences in the timeline that would create hostile variants of himself that would fight for supremacy. This is not a hypothetical scenario as the Multiversal War already happened and He Who Remains had done his best to make sure that does not happen by just keeping a specific set of realities as his Sacred Timeline to prevent this. All things come to an end though as He Who Remains orchestrated events to have two variants of Loki take his place as he was just tired of managing by that point. Too bad one of them shot him, thus causing an endless amount of new timelines to emerge which will lead to more Nathaniel Richards arriving. Due to his subsequent death in the Pantheon, He Who Remains joined Prime Kang in the Pantheon where now he just sits back enjoying his official retirement.
  Immortus: Wait, does that mean you're a clone of me if you fill the same role?
  He Who Remains: Is a truck the same as a van if they both are automotive?
  Immortus: No-
  He Who Remains : THEN I'M NOT YOU!
• If the surname does not tip anyone off, Kang is a member of the Richards bloodline (or at least an iteration of them), thus making him a descendent of Reed Richards and potentially Sue Storm. The Richards genes must be quite strong considering Nathaniel Richards has the intelligence to rival his ancestor. It is fitting that when the world was introduced to Nathaniel Richards when fought the Fantastic Four as Rama-Tut. Disturbingly enough, Rama-Tut attempted to marry Sue Storm after using a Mind Control ray at her... although she is more than likely his ancestor too. It is fortunate not many bring this up, to which Kang denies he knew that knowledge. Either that or Kang was hoping that her branch was far removed from his own. That is an entire can of worms nobody would like to see. It is noted that Kang does not have a high opinion of women. He thinks they are a distraction to him, nothing more than combative pawns for him to deploy or mothers meant to be nursing the young. At least he does not doubt their physical capabilities. Curiously, many women he had been combative women with blonde hair.
  Kang: Taking over the world makes me thirsty.
  • Interestingly, the Ultimate variants of Reed Richards and Sue Storm take a lot from Kang as a person, with the latter being Kang the Conqueror of that universe. Nathaniel is pretty sure this irony is some divine payback by higher powers above. Meanwhile, Reed Richards became an unhinged supervillain who started to terrorize the multiverse much like Kang himself. Admittedly, Kang is more dumbfounded than impressed by The Maker's being or what is Ultimate Kang the Conqueror as well. He just finds the Ultimate universe as a whole an odd thing to see unfold by the absurd differences in what everybody already is used towards.
• Likely the closest ally that Kang will ever get is Doctor Doom, as the two men share similarities in being ambitious geniuses who want nothing more than to squash those in their way. These similarities go so deep that Kang believes that Doctor Doom may be an ancestor to himself. It has not been definitively said yet that Doom is such, though he holds Doom much higher than the Richards side of his family. Doom finds it repulsive that his bloodline may be intertwined with the bloodline of his nemesis one day, though still holds Kang highly for his intellect. That does not mean Doom would not throw Kang under the bus at any time like that time on Battleworld when Doom had a reprogrammed Ultron kill Kang as vengeance for being blasted by Kang earlier. The two got over that incident eventually though it made Kang concerned about Doom's capabilities. Doom may have been reigning centuries earlier with lesser knowledge and technology but the man is cunning enough to band various villains together at that time and usurp a Reality Warper entity. Kang would admit those qualities are what led him to don an armor similar to Doom's as the Scarlet Centurion then going on to design his iconic Kang the Conqueror armor which mirrors Doom's furthermore. In turn, Doom has outfitted his suit with the same technology that Kang deploys which is alarming to everyone who knows both villains.
  Kang: I don't need something as trifling as magic to accomplish my goals.
  Doom raises his hand.
  Doom: I believe you. But are you underestimating my strength?
  Kang: A little bit-
  Kang is flung to a wall by a blast from Doom's hand.
• Kang has no superpowers in the slightest, relying on the gadgetry he brings alongside himself and his impressive martial process (Kang foo he called it) to combat his enemies directly. Of course, the devices that allow him to travel through time are what he utilizes most for his plans. There is also the fact that he has summoned an endless amount of forces from the Damocles Base, a time-traveling warship that Kang usually calls orders upon. Speaking more on his armor, it is so advanced that even Merlin, who was once the Sorcerer Supreme was overwhelmed by Kang during a confrontation. Due to its capabilities, Kang finds few needs to ever take it off himself. Ironically, even though Kang based his suit on schematics from prior suits such as Doom's and Tony Stark's, he created the foundation mechanical suits as Victor Timely. This created a perfect loop where the technology founded by Timely would evolve into the technology used by himself one day. Yes, time is quite a fickle thing.
• Kang could just end heroes like the Avengers at any time if he simply goes back to prevent key events that led to their formation. He does not choose this path typically since it is either too boring or Kang realizes that would just jeopardize his present as he was inspired by the Avengers. He could go back in time to do some things that would make the present worse for everyone, though he is watching out for that pesky Time Police that would come after him. Some idea he thought up was to have The Comics Code still be around to neuter the effectiveness of modern superheroes. Another idea he also had was to have a Batgirl movie shelved just to spite the Justice League of America who acted too much like the Avengers and the Squadron Supreme for his liking. Though the companies his incarnations created do more than enough to garner wealth for himself, Kang had the idea of making a store where he brought objects from the future and past to sell. One particular item was a burial urn that he would constantly dig up once its buried, the gimmick being that he was selling the same used urn over and over again. Then he stopped himself as the economy relies on demand for limited resources and he would simply mess up the economy with an endless supply of products. Then stopped himself from shelving that idea and placed ruining the economy as a backup Evil Plan when needed. He still wants to sell that urn.
• The Kang Collective is an event where Kang variants from different parts of The Multiverse meet up with each other, without any pretenses of hostility towards each other. This event was overseen by the Council of Kangs, led by the Prime Kang whom everybody knows. There used to be another council, the Council of Cross-Time Kangs had different people who are not Nathaniel Richards take the title of Kang, though Prime Kang had Alioth eat them all to prove his superiority. The Kang Collective, called Kangic Con casually, moved its venue to the Pantheon as it had the benefit of being bigger to host more guests (it came with a free ball pit too). As a result of the entire omniverse being opened up to him, a lot of interesting variants of Kang sound stupid yet are all competent at their jobs of conquering. How competent they are varied, though at least they see themselves as higher than Kangaroo the Conqueror if that means anything. Some special guests in Kangic Con include: Dankey Kang, Darth Kang, Ruly the banished dwarf, Kang Fury, Kangzilla, The Nostalgia Kang, Kang the Hedgehog (do not steal), select members of Holokang, Nathaniel Deviluke, Kang the Apogee, Nasani Uchiha, Texan, Natharin Kangtigawa, Kang the Woz, Alien Kang, The Kang Behind the Slaughter, Shao Kang, Dovahkang, Virgo Kang, Kangboy, Optimus Kang, Kang Kang Man, Kang Heart, The Unknown Conqueror, Kangsemi-sama, Tito Kangman, Control Fiend, Kangbob Conquerpants, Richards D. Nate, Kangpool, Grand Ruler, Conquer Man.exe, Madoka Kangname, SomecallmeKang, Frankenkang, Kamen Rider Kang, Conquermon, and KangRappa the Rapper. Somehow they all rock the same color scheme and are all credible threats that nearly pushed the heroes of their universe off the edge.
  Kang: So many iterations of myself across different universes and timelines. It’s fascinating how most of us are amongst the most dangerous entities in any timeline... barring the stupid kangaroo. At least I have more hits than misses.
  Tito Kangman: Why are you speaking as if you’re the most important one here? I am Kang! I am the leader of all of these idiots! HAHAHAHA!
  Kang: If it wasn’t for the fact that you have an absurd Avengers kill count, I would have ended you right now.
• Kang may be a maniacal villain who intentionally sows chaos for selfish gain, though not even he is willing to jeopardize existence itself to win over heroes. He lives within reality after all. That is why he is very careful in conquests to not cause things like incursions from causing the universe to collapse. That is why he opposes entities like the Anti-Monitor and Merged Zamasu whose actions will result in similar destruction. Even those like Kamen Rider Decade and Filthy Frank whose powers are not risks to reality are feared by him. Kang is thankful that multiversal travel in the Pantheon does not allow such apocalypses to occur and can freely do whatever he wants, though he tips his toes around it just to be safe. When he foresees a possible existence-ending threat, he goes with Lord Vyce to a bunker outside of time and space to take nice drinks. It could be inferred that Kang has to share a place with all his other iterations who he dragged with him and constantly argues with them over who eats what.
• Kang had quite a lot of children of his own despite his specific requirements for female partners. He killed most of his kids because they never lived up to what Kang desires in them (like a miniature version of himself). Somehow the kids that always impressed him are named Marcus are notable two distinct characters. One is born from Kang while the other is born from Immortus to simplify it. Marcus Kang XXIII eventually became Scarlet Centurion II and helped his father conquer Earth. Despite being his poised successor, Kang killed Marcus anyhow since he was angered that his son saved his life when he was completely satisfied with dying there. Marcus Immortus on the other hand is a completely unabashedly gross clusterfuck of a person. Immortus basically kidnapped a woman to impregnate them, so Marcus Immortal did the same as his father by kidnapping Carol Danvers, emotionally manipulated her to be his lover, then impregnated her to give birth to himself to escape the Limbo his father was trapped in. This all happened and none of it is okay. Many people are grateful that Kang constantly offs his sons if that is the result of one running around. That is not to say that Kang has ever stopped cloning more sons.
  Marcus: Gee, sure is boring around here.
  Kang: My boy. This peace is what all conquerors strive for.
• The Time Eater reminds Kang of a certain Alioth the Usurper that he controls. Similarly to Kang, Alioth is a trans-temporal conqueror whose domains are even greater than that of Kang's, to the point that Kang had to reel back his expansionist ambitions so that he would not cross paths with the creature. He is that terrified of it. Fortunately for Kang, at some point, He Who Remains controlled a variant of Alioth and used it as a Gate Guardian to protect his headquarters. Kang would have liked to control the sentient Alioth though having at least a competent version is what he makes do with. That said, Kang believes that he could similarly weaponize the Time Eater as both are the same except hungrier and less gaseous. It would be hell to try and do that, though the benefits outweigh the costs in his opinion.
• Kang rules the city of Chronopolis, the place is a functional city hidden somewhere across time though where exactly always changes. There is a strong military presence there with his limitless army so it is assumed that it is like North Korea with Kang as the stated "benevolent" ruler. His army commanders include the Anachronauts, comprised of the greatest warriors across time, and the Chrono Corps, his team of well-known supers that were saved by him when their universes collapsed. Though his army is stronger than most, Kang always seeks more recruits by any means necessary. Like when he tried to enslave humanity by making them wear brainwashing helmets. Instead of having them serve as mindless drones or maybe even harem dancers, Kang had them all dress up as Spider-Man. Aside from the army itself, Kang has strict joke policies that make the parallels to other totalitarian dictatorships more pronounced. Nicol Bolas and Brainiac have both wanted to take over the place at different points though where it is exactly is always lost to them. Their only hope is to hear one of Kang's Kang-nouncements where he would slip up given its location at some point. Instead, what gets back to them are things that everyone finds either ridiculous or extremely questionable.
  Kang: Really, how hard is it to get a loyal athletic blonde spouse on this forsaken app! I might have to resort to kidnapping again at this rate.
  Random underling: Sir, I'm pretty sure that the microphone is on.
  Kang: Who the hell cares?! You're all lucky that I haven't demanded human sacrifices yet!
• Despite the Sentinels having been used against Kang in his conquests of Earth, there is a good reason why the Sentinels unwittingly become Kang's allies. Kang has technology so advanced that the power Sentinel forces are reprogrammed to obey him the moment they come into the picture. He stole the Sentinels as free units for his army, and he succeeded in driving fear into every last military due to displaying his potential. Kang still finds his Victor Timely persona as necessary for these victories, considering that Victor Timely laid the groundwork for robotics for him to exploit. Victor Timely himself is a respected inventor despite his true nature, being admired by those like the Engineer and Hal Emmerich. Timely himself does not have any ambitions towards conquest and now sits back, watching inventors who use his blueprints to make their masterpieces.
• Destiny of the Endless is disliked by Kang yet he relies on the concept of destiny perhaps more than anyone within the Pantheon. Iron Lad is fated to become Kid Immortus, who is fated to become Rama-Tut, who then turns into the Scarlet Centurion, ending up as Kang, to seemingly end as Immmortus. Without the tides of fate that brought him to this path, then all of the different versions of Nathaniel Richards might as well cease to exist. Not even powerful heroes like the Vision could have prevented an infant Nathaniel Richards from the path he would take. Destiny of the Endless points out that Nathaniel Richards does have autonomy in his destiny, yet that freedom also traps him to take the same road inevitably walks on. He calls the entire situation in his own words, "A mind-bending clusterfuck."
• Xehanort finds Kang to be an interesting potential adversary that transcends time and space like himself. He even states that Nathaniel Richards would have likely been worthy to be one of his Seekers of Darkness if he met him beforehand and if he had been young, Xehanort would have allowed Kang to be one of his apprentices. Kang found Xehanort’s Real Organization XIII plan to be quite conniving if a bit too complicated for its good. However, Kang is completely willing to have Xehanort transfer a bit of himself into him if it means getting new powers. One has to imagine how nightmarish it would be if Kang could easily Body Surf to create more incarnations of himself. God knows that the Pantheon needs a young Keyblade-wielding Kang who wants to grab Kingdom Hearts for power.
  Kang: If only my youngest self was not so revulsed by his future. At least my Inhuman apprentice can fill that void...
• Kang once caught a video of a certain All Might standing mighty and proud after defeating a great evil after mustering the last of his strength. Then suddenly got recommended a bunch of videos with crappy edits over the video, so he decided to go back in time to assassinate All Might for his annoyingly inspirational moment. After several sneaky shots at All Might in the battle to wear off his constitution, Kang returned to the present where seemingly nothing changed. Except that in the said fist-to-the-sky moment, All Might died standing victoriously and became a martyr for the next generations of heroes. Kang honestly thought crime would skyrocket and vigilantism would be more prevalent once the timeline changed. Kang went back to that moment again and shot All Might with adrenaline rounds that kept the hero alive after his past self weakened the man. As he surmises, maybe some deaths are more impactful than if they were still living.
• Grandfather Paradox has seen Kang as a pawn for his own will. What will the Grandfather Paradox plan? Nobody is certain but Kang certainly is vulnerable to him due to the number of paradoxes that inevitably happened around Nathaniel Richards. In fact, one could argue if Rama-Tut went to do things that negated his existence, then Nathaniel Richards would have become perfectly eligible to join the Faction Paradox as entry requires a person to kill an ancestor to negate their existence. None of the Nathaniel Richards have any intention of joining Grandfather Paradox though they do their best not to overlap their timelines out of fear of what Grandfather Paradox may do to themselves if that were to occur.
• Starfleet has encountered Kang at one point. He would have captured the Enterprise-E intending to use it as a vessel to conquer time, yet a certain Wesley Crusher proved his lies much to his dismay. Kang was certain his future technology was impenetrable by Starfleet though he was proven quite wrong afterward. Starfleet themselves are enemies of Kang yet they are not aware of the extent of how close they were to start a war with him. If Kang was not so preoccupied, he would have raised forces to take over the galaxy and it would have raised a fight worse than the Dominion War. So if Kang ever finds a certain Wesley Crusher in the Pantheon, he would pay him back for his convenient heroics.
• The Master has envied Kang for being able to simply bounce back from failures instead of going into hiding like the Time Lord has to do. The amount of alliances that the Master led is outstanding, enough for Kang to ask how the heck did the Master team up with the Daleks several times as the Scarlet Centurion had difficulty repealing one attempted invasion by them. The Master would admit that if Nathaniel Richards were a Time Lord, he would have perfectly fit in place next to their highest government. The two seemingly were made for each other to walk the universe, conquering everywhere they go though they did not want to intrude on what they consider their territories. Instead of sharing or competing for resources, they point each other to new methods to take over the universe.
  Master: Do you want to know a used in the 21st century Earth where you can get an army of mindless followers who will sing to your tune if you appeal to their shallowness?
  Kang: Facebook or Twitter?
  Master: A place even better...
  *The Master logs onto TV Tropes.*
• The entire concept of Servants intrigue Kang as he has the Army of The Ages that follow him loyally. Kang devised a plan to summon as many Servants as well as Servants himself. The results of his attempts were consequently forming an entirely new Singularity around himself. The Master of Chaldea was motioned by the more moral Nathaniel Richards to dive in to fix the Singularity, defeating each member of Kang's army and kicking Kang's butt with several spammed Noble Phantasms. An older Kang would go thank the Master of Chaldea for ending this mess as his Singularity risked unleashing one of the reality-ending Beasts. That is not to say Kang wants the Master of Chaldea to go stop all of his conquests, though extended his hand when it comes to things like the Beasts. Although the different Nathaniel Richards is summonable to Chaldea, they are kept under a lid since Chaldea does not want the baggage of a bunch of Kangs fighting around the place. They could barely keep it together with the given Servants as it is.
• Lucrezia Mongfish has questioned Kang on how he keeps surviving even though he is killed at multiple points. Kang answered that his consciousness immediately teleports itself to a clone upon his death, where he would return as if nothing happened to him. Mongfish finds that fascinating, though asked Kang why his clones are virtually identical to each other. With his future technology and intellect, he could have created diverse bodies that could have had superpowers infused in their genetics. Kang replied that is the apex of humanity as it is, which is why he never changed his appearance (barring that one body that had a European accent). She still asked to consider the potential of new bodies, as Mongfish subtlety implied that wants an extra vessel for herself. Kang began to consider her suggestions and began to make clones of Mongfish's suggestions. One was female with gigantic knockers and the other was a feminine-looking boy. Kang wondered if this was secretly Mongfish's confessional.
• Chou Chou spooks Kang quite a bit. At a whim, one day Chou Chou decided to begin taking over some of Kang's worlds. He would not be intimidated by this normally, but Chou Chou eventually succeeded in not just conquering the worlds she set out for but eventually taking over a few entire realities under Kang's belt. She even subjugated his subjects into being part of her army easily, to his shock. He was pretty sure that his minions did not hate him enough to abandon him that easily... right? When Kang asked one of his loyal subordinates about his true thoughts on his reputation, Kang had to promptly excuse the man by chucking him out a window. In the end, to boost his image to not have his minions so easily sway to someone like Chou Chou (to be honest, Nicol Bolas is also making him nervous), the propaganda had to increase tenfold. One consequence of this was that Kang has his minions' lock screens carry his face. To underline that he is watching everyone...
  Kang: Especially you, coffee café worker. I know what you saw.
• Melkor wanted to have Kang on his team considering his accomplishments. Despite the generous offers that Melkor gave to every iteration of Nathaniel Richards, he was refused every time by them because of one simple reason. Nathaniel Richards alone decides his destiny and though he may ally himself with villains, joining an entire coalition is beneath his strengths. Plus, he does not want to get shot by a robot again. Melkor took offense to his refusal and vowed that once he takes over the cosmos, Kang would be begging to join him at the end. All Nathaniel Richards doubt it.
• Out of all the people that Kang considers to be best friends with, it was Eddie Brock who took that mantle. The true extent or even context of this friendship is unknown, though Kang has had some uncharacteristic sentimentality over Eddie Brock. Eddie Brock has not reached this point of being friends with Kang of all people and does not want to dwell on it. Kang is a bit disappointed that Eddie Brock has not recognized him yet, though expressed that one day, Eddie Brock will be there by his side. On Eddie's birthday, Kang sent him what he called an early present. Kang went back in time to have Eminem create an entire song around Venom. Kang even made sure that the song mentioned Venom a lot in the chorus.
• Dukat may be a person that Kang respects as the Cardassian's ruthless ambitions is impressive, though Kang does not enjoy it when Dukat keeps goading him to completely dominate his enemies at all times. Although Dukat held admiration towards his foes no matter how misplaced, it came as a revelation to him that he should completely give it his all to utterly destroy those against him without any reservations. Kang could destroy the Avengers and conquer the universe easily when given the chance, though he chooses to instead go for convoluted schemes. Much like The Federation that hounds Dukat, Richard does not have any reason to go out of their comfort zones. Replicators and holoimaging can serve every need for them but those in the United Federation of Planets seek excitement from the greater universe regardless. Nathaniel Richards comes from a similar future which he found utterly loathsome, so he went back in time to construct new futures by his vision. To him, the Avengers are like challenges that he must overcome. It would be Boring, but Practical to simply wipe them out, though there would be no fun in doing that. Dukat still believes that Kang should just completely beat the heroes of Earth at the most optimized path, as Dukat states victory is still sweet even without effort placed into those victories.
  Dukat: I looked into your technological arsenal and noticed you have a certain... inclination with controlling the mind.
  Kang: Admittedly, I have noticed the amount of what can be called Hypno Rays being plentiful in my inventory. But what do those compare to your inclinations of portraying yourself as a hero to alien women in scenarios that you create to “save” them from?
  Dukat: I’m not bad. I just want to set fire to the universe!
  Kang: Oh please, I said that line almost exactly in the same manner decades ago.
• Odio would like to gloat to Nathaniel Richards that his incarnations have more variety to them than what he has. Nathaniel Richards is either a ruler or a businessman or some heroic guardian. Meanwhile, Odio can get away with being both a computer virus and a dinosaur. Kang countered this by stating that, unlike Odio, he would like to keep the best aspects of his personality across all versions of himself as anything else would be insulting to the legacy of Nathaniel Richards. If he were to become something so different from himself, then those incarnations would lose the qualities that make Nathaniel Richards who he is. That is not to say new forms are opposed, though they have to be worthy of his legacy. Kang would like to say that Odio's past is perhaps why his forms as so dissimilar as it they serve as an escape from his true nature. Not to say that he has sympathy for Odio as Kang turns kindergartens to the craters if he wanted, so empathy does not shine through him to Odio.
  Kang: Why a dinosaur?
  Odio: Because I felt like it.
  Kang: You can incarnate anything across history on the fly, and you're using it to turn into a reptile. With powers like that, you could be an Omnidisciplinary Scientist who would be invincible.
  Odio: But I don't want to be a scientist. I want to be a dinosaur.
• Eggman has the respect of Nathaniel Richards but was slow to be fully recognized from Richards's end. As Iron Lad, Eggman was just another criminal who needed to be taken down a peg. Kid Immortus then appreciated the robotics of Eggman more upon observing the technology more. Rama-Tut began to see him as a brilliant engineer by then, thinking that his spaceship was gorgeously designed. The Scarlet Centurion certainly try his hand at defeating what Eggman could barely do, and soon realized there was a good reason why Sonic the Hedgehog was a feared name by many. Kang tried to recruit Eggman himself but was dismissed by Eggman for "being a young wannabe" which Kang felt insulted by. Immortus finally realized that Eggman is brilliant, and also a bit of a dummy going by the choices he made. It took him that long to realize that fact when it only took Sonic a few levels. Ivo Robotnik himself cannot help but feel both insulted and proud thanks to those admirations.
• Sora met different Nathaniel Richards across multiple timelines through the power of waking during a certain period of being dead (that Sora forgot), giving Richards a taste of his own medicine as people meet his incarnations in such a confusing manner. Sora met Rama-Tut, Victor Timely, Kid Immortus, Bender, Iron Lad, "Doctor Doom", Kang the Conqueror, He Who Remains, Gryphon, and finally Immortus in that order. He probably does not remember it as the power of waking was already a fickle thing to mess around with even subconsciously. An average adventure for Sora but to Nathaniel Richards, it was a convoluted experience that persisted throughout his life at random intervals. Realizing his confusing nature, Nathaniel Richards compiled a chronology of events to tell others what know what moment he dwells at his timeline. He is not allowed to read it at any point, though he brings it up for people to reference. The entire timeline was bigger than a few zettabytes, making people beg for Kang to abridge it for their sanity.
• Despite Conan the Barbarian being everything that Kang should detest, a man from an older era who fits the definition of savage, Kang gained a Villain Respect for the warrior whom he saw as one of his rare equals. Equal as in that one day, Conan the Barbarian will evolve into a threat to Kang's empire through different possible futures. Considering that most Avengers are seen as beneath Kang, Conan accomplished a feat that very few people have done. Conan himself is not afraid to fight Kang, having fought many powerful enemies beforehand and one futuristic person is a greater challenge.
• Darkseid has respected Kang for consistently doing his best to drive his enemies to despair before aiming to rule reality itself. If Darkseid knew better, he would have thought Kang was one of his disciples who went independent. Kang was flattered by Darkseid's praises though told the New God that his actions are his own, not meant for anybody else. If it means that he may one day have to go to Apokolips itself to conquer it, then Kang would face Darkseid without hesitation. Darkseid could only laugh at this response, stating that it truly was proof that Kang was stronger than most other oppressors in terms of willpower.
• Kang admired the draconic form of Maleficent after seeing it in action. With how destructive dragons were, Kang decided to experiment on himself to see if he could transform into one as well. As he is a normal human without these transformation capabilities, Kang went to study those who could transform into animals. The Animorphs became his subjects and after observing these children long enough, Kang had them all kidnapped which extracted their DNA to reconfigure his own. Optimizing their best traits to graft alongside Maleficent's DNA and even the Cobra Commander who generously donated his own, Kang injected it into himself. The result was less of a transformation and more of a really ugly monstrosity had Kang spitting out blood. The Cobra Commander more or less said that maybe adding his DNA was overkill afterward. Despite getting rid of the DNA entirely, the Animorphs were still trapped in Kang's experimental rooms for quite some time until they somehow were able to break out. Kang hoped the children would not see what he did as personal, though they understandably do not see it that way. They want him deader than dead, to which he dismissed it as teen angst.
• Brainiac is intrigued by Kang so he once tried to kidnap every single iteration of Kang alongside their armies. With all of them being trapped behind different displays for Brainiac's amusement, they managed to communicate with each other and began to plot their escape. Kang had Pym Particles ready to use, so he simply sent the formula to other Nathaniel Richards so that they just simply grow out of their displays. It worked, with Brainiac being forced to retreat as multiple armadas of ships broke out of his base. All the Nathaniel Richards (even Iron Lad surprisingly) ganged up on the supercomputer before he could escape. Brainiac put up a good fight though the current model he wore was overwhelmed with the sheer amount of weapons used and the ridiculously named Kang foo also brutalized him. When all things were said and done, Brainiac found the beatings to be blessings in disguise as he was able to analyze a good chunk of the technology Nathanial Richards was using. Brainiac looked more purple than usual for the next month.
• Regarding Iron Lad:
  • Iron Lad much like Future Trunks and Silver the Hedgehog wished to prevent a terrible future, Iron Lad fears the day he will turn to villainy. Considering that his Kid Immortus persona uses his second Iron Lad armor, that future is coming for him much earlier than he would like. Iron Lad has begged those like the Doctor to go back to stop this, and as much as the Doctor wishes to, the Time Lord only finds that would risk the timelines. There could only be delays to the inevitable as the Doctor puts it. Iron Lad even went to Riku to ask how to harness evil for good, yet Riku could not give a direct answer as their situations were completely different. All he could say is for Nate to not have regrets about being a hero.
  • Iron Lad has not been particularly taking it well he would grow up to be such an evil bastard one day. Especially now with the knowledge that his next identity will full-on embrace his villainy without the reservations he had prior. Him leaving heroics is a way to protect everyone. Ironically, Iron Lad shutting himself out is submitting to the statements that Kang told him when Kang showed him his future. Kang killed a past reincarnation of Ravonna Renslayer in front of him to showcase that Love Is a Weakness to him, that it will only hurt himself and others in the end. Iron Lad may want love from others more than anything, though his future has certainly told that he cannot stop it from being ripped away.
• Regarding Kid Immortus:
  • Kid Immortus embracing his future as Kang the Conqueror was challenged by Sougo Tokigawa of all people who argue that Nathaniel Richards COULD become a conqueror but not a supervillain. Kamen Rider Zi-O will become the Demon King of the world who could annihilate anyone before himself, yet Sougo wants all that power. However, he does not want the baggage of being completely evil either, and if he cannot escape from his fate, then he might as well make his destiny brighter for everybody. He said to Kid Immortus that if there is no chance to escape from Kang, there is a chance to be a better Kang. Kid Immortus replied that was the second dumbest motivational speech he has ever heard and that if it is not him to become Kang at some point, then someone else would fill a similar role to cause even potentially cause more suffering. He should know this as he neglected to mention that different versions of Oma Zi-O running around. Plus, even regarding all the death and destruction that his conqueror personas have that it will all turn out better as he becomes the much more noble Immortus. He called himself Kid Immortus so it is not like being Kang is the only thing on his mind. Sougo was seen depressed after that disaster of a talk.
  • Kid Immortus tried to procure weapons from Davros and the insane inventor was intrigued that such a young man who even to him looked like he was trying too hard to live up to something. The former Avenger disregarded the moral questions that Davros subtly taunted him with, stating that he will use whatever to accomplish his goal of being a future conqueror. Davros was intrigued by the resolve of Kid Immortus and was about to give him some experimental Dalek weapons he made but to both of their surprise, Iron Lad showed up to stop the deal. It was at that moment Davros realized the full scope of what was going on and wanted to see what would happen first. Kid Immortus and Iron Lad fought but with Kid Immortus being more experienced, he had the upper hand against his younger self at that moment Iron Lad grabbed the weapons that Davros was going to give, sending Kid Immortus to retreat. It was then Davros clapped at Iron Lad's efforts, knowing that even in his heroic youth, Nathaniel Richards had a burning passion for overcoming all.
• Regarding Rama-Tut:
  • Apocalypse despises Kang, more specifically his Rama-Tut incarnation. Kang knew that a young En Sabah Nur was born at this time and Kang intended to raise the future Apocalypse as his heir. Of course, that never came to be, and eventually, the two confronted each other with Kang upstaging Apocalypse though failing to kill him. Rama-Tut would be defeated by the Fantastic Four eventually, though Apocalypse still wants a rematch against what he calls an unrighteous fake ruler of Egypt. Many pharaohs of old seem to agree with this, even Moses who uprooted his former home does not want a maniac ruling it. King Ramses though is pretty cool on it since Kang the Conqueror gave him back his slab.
  • Rama-Tut earned the respect of Aku for being a fellow malevolent being who promotes images of godhood to their meager followers, albeit in a much lesser fashion than Aku had. Rama-Tut would like to state that though their beliefs are quite archaic by the standards of the future, the ancient Egyptians were still one of the remarkably innovative civilizations in history. He informed Aku that their structures like the pyramids and temples could not have been made without geniuses behind them. Rama-Tut is not even speaking about himself as he knows many brilliant architects from that era who served under him. Aku saw that Rama-Tut did have a point but Aku said that still does not rectify the fact that Egyptians had some bizarre art tastes, bringing up how the sphinx looks like a menace that would eat everybody across the lands. This also comes from the guy who had demonic statues built showcasing his evil. It was then Rama-Tut stated that his ship was a sphinx which Aku thought he was joking about. When seeing Rama-Tut's ship for the first time, Aku howled with laughter over how ridiculous it looked. This laughter may be the subconscious reason why Nathaniel Richards eventually switched out his mothership to be a giant sword instead.
• Regarding Scarlet Centurion I:
  • The Scarlet Centurion has heard of the Legion of Super-Heroes and how their predecessors inspired them to bring hope to the future. To ensure that their universe is conquerable, the Scarlet Centurion went to conspire with Regime Superman to destroy the Superman that the Legion of Super Heroes idolizes. Kang's idea was to go in front of Superman and repeatedly shoot him with bullets made from Kryptonite. He would have nearly finished off Superman if he did not hold enough strength to crudely throw a manhole at the Scarlet Centurion, then dashed to beat the villain. The rest of the Justice League came after that to haul Scarlet Centurion to prison for being such a danger. That was supposed to be what happened but the Scarlet Centurion was able to teleport his way out of there before then. The sheer frustration that the Justice League has could be felt by everyone.
  • The Scarlet Centurion had many allies who conquered the universe with little opposition. There is Galra Empire, the First Galactic Empire, and the Frieza Force as given examples. However, it should be noted that the Scarlet Centurion's rule only lasted over half a century. People from the future still look like they are in their prime since age has slowed on a genetic level. He views that as a pretty bad failure on his part though felt better when he saw that his allies lasted a lot less. For being the First Galactic Empire, Palpatine admitted that his regime never lasted very long for what was supposed to be an omnipresent government entity. Frieza is still pissed by the fact that it just took a few decades for monkeys to tear down the military his father entrusted him. Zarkon had an eons-long reign but Lotor said that he never got a year in. With all of these ideas in mind, the Scarlet Centurion felt a lot more confident in himself for being able to hold onto his power for longer than many of his contemporaries. They all called bullshit on him patting himself on the back as the Scarlet Centurion immediately preceded Nathaniel Richards’s most successful persona who managed an even greater empire.
  • Scarlet Centurion had once his entire army and nearly himself befall to a single person, "Red-Hair" Shanks when the man's aura overtook them and began to make his soldiers faint. The Scarlet Centurion himself was barely able to mutter out how the man was able to do this and why so, to which Shanks replied that he was only using the Conqueror's Spirit to ensure these thousands of soldiers were knocked unconscious. Shanks also answered the reason why he engulfed his army was seeing a squadron of his soldiers harass citizens, so he decided to make them all faint to prove some karma existed. This Nathaniel Richards thought that was an exclusive power until he saw a certain Monkey D. Luffy do it also to one of his soldiers who demanded identification. Looking into the entire concept of Haki, the Scarlet Centurion was intrigued that this power can be cultivated within anyone. Seeing as he has the disposition of The Conqueror, the Scarlet Centurion wanted to bring out the Conqueror's Haki within himself. He went as far as to interview fellow despot Kaido who said while Haki is the ultimate power anyone can learn, only those who are gifted or those who train can earn Haki. Looking back on his history, the Scarlet Centurion was sure when he was a child, he made a kid faint by staring at them. The kid was also diagnosed late as diabetic, so it is admittedly debatable evidence that he has Conqueror's Haki. Regardless, he did not give up trying to awaken it despite not truly dedicating the time to awaken the other types of Haki either. This even went past his Scarlet Centurion phase and into the Kang the Conqueror era, with him trying to stare at minions sometimes to make them collapse. His minion thought that he was undressing them with his eyes.
• Regarding Victor Timely:
  • Victor Timely was kidnapped by Desparado during a limousine conversation with the Mayor of Townsville (who just kept going on about the tribulations of being a politician). Just as the Mayor was talking about the paparazzi wanting to incriminate him for going on a ride with three young girls (certified by this source) but suddenly Sundowner showed up and nabbed Victor Timely out of the limo. Armstrong believed that Victor Timely's skills would upgrade the soldiers of the PMC dramatically. Being forced to work on trying to repair the skeletons of a bunch of soldiers for an entire month was not what Timely had in mind though he plotted his escape. When finally "upgrading" Steven Armstrong's nanomachines, Timely pressed one button and all of Desperado began to have horrific seizures, including Armstrong who was helpless against whatever Timely placed on him. Despite being one of the nicer iterations of Nathaniel Richards, Timely threatened that if Desperado were to come after him again, he would have the nanomachines turn them all vegetative. Armstrong was going to turn Timely into a pulp but a Fate Worse than Death is one thing that he does not want to happen. Desperado plus Armstrong are essentially under the thumb of Nathaniel Richards, which he would love to take advantage of if Timely did not forget where he placed the button that keeps himself from Desperado's wrath. Only when he became Immortus was he able to find that button but the issue has long been dealt with at that point.
• Regarding Mister Gryphon:
  • Gryphon has forged new ties with villains like Lex Luthor, Mr. Burns, Seto Kaiba, Johnathan Irons, and Conal Cochran for their shared underhanded dealings. The Speedwagon Foundation foresaw this threat and is closely monitoring Queg Industries for any illegal activity that the company can be indicted for. That said the Speedwagon Foundation is dismayed by the constant lobbying that Qeng Industries brings that keeps them in power, wondering how such a stupid system is even allowed when it is just a blanket term for public corruption. As rich folks would like to put it, "Money talks." Kang is a corporate CEO for several of his lifetimes, so the whole of being an evil businessman must be a role likes to embrace.
    Gryphon: It is a CEO's sworn duty to screw people over for a new yacht.
  • With the economy always in a constant state of flux due to the poor mismanagement by governments, Homer Simpson briefly forced himself to work on the side for Qeng Industries to make family payments meet. With gas prices rising so high, a job driving a forklift for some Qeng Industries materials sounds easy enough. As common with Homer Simpson, that did not bode well. He ended up breaking a box that contained a large number of illegal materials, with Qeng Industries trying to hush Homer from telling anybody about this. Homer did not know he witnessed something incriminating and just thought that he was getting a generous bonus. Gryphon was intimidated by Homer's belief to be feigning innocence and replied by giving him more hush money, which Homer took without any questions. After getting so much money, Homer was happy to quit his side job to go back to his main work as it seems that the "bonuses" covered enough ground for not gas prices not to be a particularly harsh thing to swallow. He was going to gamble it all on some things called NFTs, but his family stopped him from bankrupting themselves. Gryphon curses Homer Simpson, for now making him stay up at night believing that what he knows may be shared by others for some nefarious reason he could not comprehend.
• Regarding "Doctor Doom":
  • Due to how closely the Doctor Doom persona appears to the actual Doctor Doom, Morgan le Fay mistook him for the actual Victor von Doom and proceeded to plot against him. For short, a single spell for Morgan le Fay resulted in a chain reaction that led to a mall exploding, a truck flying off a freeway into a street, then "Doctor Doom" being seen orbiting the Earth like a satellite before crashing down into a country where it proceeded to be wiped off the face of the planet. Somehow it took a week to get it back together.
    "Doctor Doom": I blew up Malaysia.
• Regarding Immortus:
  • Immortus being employed by the Time Keepers means that his main responsibility is the keep time in check, even against his past selves who despise Immortus for his meddling against them. The immortality of Immortus does not stop the other Nathaniel Richards from doing things like throwing him into a transdimensional gutter. Even though Pantheon's Time Police considers Kang one of their highest criminals, they respect Immortus for his valiance against them even though he can still be just as much as a Jerkass around it. Immortus also hunts some of the greatest enemies of the timeline such as Caius Ballad, Maltruant, and Randall Ross whom the Time Keepers want him to deal with permanently across all timelines. He managed to kill a few different versions of them though Dio Brando always seems to get past Immortus no matter how relentless his attacks are. The Time Stop that Dio employs is bypassed by Immortus though the vampiric powers of Dio leave Immortus in a fickle situation as their confrontations are always the beginning of a long night. At least he was able to ensure that Dios who ascended to Heaven is not a threat to even more universes.
  • There was a period where Immortus became a leader of religion in a reality where humanity's age of heroes ended and humanity was struggling. Believing that he could lead them to a better future, Immortus took on the title of Pope and earnestly tried to bring humans to the stars despite their mutations from the Terrigen Mists. However, it turns out the entire scenario was manipulated by Mephisto who wanted to bring humanity into a further miserable era which Immortus did not take kindly towards. Though many of his prior selves would have been courteous to Mephisto for his devilish ways, Immortus sees Mephisto as nothing more than a scumbag that should be sent back to hell where he belongs. Mephisto replied by stating that is the exact point.
  • Immortus is good friends with Whis for being a maintainer of reality. Whis honestly thought the man was a guy over his head but was surprised at how effective Immortus is at handling threats despite not having any ki behind his powers. Immortus thinks Whis is a bum of an angel though not even he would contest that Whis is probably stronger than him in almost every aspect (except intelligence). Whis could be seen giving a supportive thumbs up whenever he sees Immortus doing the will of the Time Keepers, below the bare minimum of help from himself as he eats an overly expensive sundae.
  • Clockwork trusts Immortus enough to do an important task in guarding Dark Danny's prison canister(who the hell cares about its proper name) because he just trapped Dark Danny again yet does not want to cut down on his vacation. Immortus wondered why a ghost who just sits around all day needs a vacation. At one point though, Immortus accidentally dropped Dark Danny's prison and it cracked open, with Dark Danny doing his best to escape from him. However, Immortus had an arsenal ready to completely wreck Dark Danny before he could even strike. As he was being pulled back to the prison, Dark Danny was screaming about why the weaponry of Immortus had been able to hurt a ghost. Immortus stated that his younger selves had to prepare themselves from every foe, after all. When Clockwork returned, his home was utterly charged as a result of Immortus repeatedly blasting around the place. Immortus blamed transdimensional shifts for it all.
• Regarding Bender:
  • Bender is hated by a certain Bender Bending Rodriguez for annoying him at that time he got stuck in a tornado of time (Don't Ask) which resulted in robot Bender losing his drink across time.Bender was forced to chase the robot across time to get him to stop. Bender did not even take an offer of a new pack of beers bought by Bender just due to Bender being that determined to get what he lost. They finally found the beer in the future where the Pantheon was at war for the five billionth time and the two had to run to the battlefield to grasp it while dodging every black hole to grab a simple bottle. When they escaped back to where the mess first started, the robot Bender simply poured the alcohol on Bender's head as a way for vengeance. Despite being one of the nicer Kangs, Bender became Immortus at that moment and began to beat the crap out of the robot for all the trouble they went through.
  • Bender could sometimes be seen playing cards with Mr. Mxyzptlk and Beetlejuice as they have nothing else to do. They could go around simply being bizarre to everyone but now that everybody is used to it, they get bored getting reactions out of people. As defeatist as it sounds, they need "normal" people around to bug and without them, their weirdness becomes routine. Bender always brings the alcohol to nonchalantly list all of his depressive episodes with a smile on his face.
• Regarding He Who Remains:
  • He Who Remains has met Rick Sanchez and his grandpa at some point and they do not like each other. Rick is sick of this man who prattles on about how he knows everything due to managing the timeline, then Rick asked if He Who Remains was so bored with himself, then why does he not enact plans sooner than later. He Who Remains replied to Rick that he holds his deck, waiting for the right people to pick from it. He is not the initiator of events, other people are and he is only there to make sure that others follow the roads they take. What He Who Remains calls Rick out though, is the fact that the inventor always seems to verbally complain about standard conventions yet continues to do said conventions out of obligation. By how Rick complains about it, He Who Remains tells Rick that he is just as much of a prisoner to fate as he has. Rick will continue to be a disgruntled wanderer going through disturbing situations with his strained family. Instead of doing anything clever out of his situation, all that Rick wants to do is shove a middle finger onto what he sees as if there is some unseen audience who will validate his views. When everyone sees past Rick Sanchez, He Who Remains believes that they will only find a husk, a resentful shadow. It was then Rick complained about He Who Remains blabbering on some existential statement that only losers care about, though He Who Remains said at least he tries, unlike Rick.
• "History is not written, troper— and neither is destiny! History is made! Made by the deeds of the strong! The brave! And destiny is forged! The historians, the students, the gray-beards— they come in the wake of the strong and write down what the brave have done! But it is the conquerors who change the world."

• Nicol Bolas arrived inside the Pantheon when he Planeswalked into the dimension, having sensed the immense concentration of power that resided in the Pantheon. His arrival was immediately noticed by Sorin Markov, who alerted fellow deities in the Magic Pantheon to his presence.
  • Since then, Nicol Bolas has taken to studying the nature of the Pantheon and the various users of Magic within it.
• Nicol Bolas is an immensely old and immensely powerful Planeswalker, one of the few still living from the days when Planeswalkers were powerful enough to be considered Gods, even able to create their own days. But with The Mending, Nicol Bolas lost that power and immortality he once possessed, and he set various machinations in place to reclaim that power. He hopes his plans in the Pantheon will lead to that conclusion.
• Nicol Bolas once dared to confront Arael, desiring to know what kind of powers the Angel possessed. Unfortunately, Nicol Bolas was able to strike up an alliance with Arael (Bolas would never indulge in 'friendship'), because Nicol Bolas shared a propensity for shattering minds with but a touch with Arael.
• Very few in the Pantheon are able to match Nicol Bolas in terms of magical power, even though his powers are not what they once were. Before the Mending, he was essentially a God within the Multiverse, able to create entire planes which he ruled, immortal, and able to use magic with effects on a Multiversal level. Now, he has lost that power with the nature of the Planeswalker spark changing, but he seeks to regain that power by any means necessary.
• He has his eyes set on Homura Akemi, as he believes that he could steal her power to restore himself back to his past glory. As such, many of the Good-aligned deities in the Pantheon stand against him and his ambitions, particularly Madoka Kaname.
  • If not, then he can always try to take the Hogyoku from Aizen, and use it to give him immortality and restore his power. After all, such an item is more suited for his hands than a mere Soul Reaper who plays at being a God.
• He also has rivalries against many of the powerful Evil-aligned magic users in the Pantheon, particularly Darquesse, whom he sees as a dangerous hinderance to his plans.
• He begrudgingly acknowledges Io as being the progenitor of his own race of dragons, but that only drives Nicol Bolas' ambition to reclaim his powers not only so that he can regain his own strength, but surpass and usurp Io as well. He will have none who are above him, Dragon or otherwise.
• He has shown an interested in in other deities who can summon creatures and spells to do their bidding through cards, as it reminds him of certain Outer Beings who play as Planeswalkers in another plane of existence.
• He is aware of the how the Pantheon came to be, as he once hijacked a page on the Magic The Gathering site to explain the rules of the game based on his multiverse.^note "In fact, the one who directed me to the Pantheon was a young man who was of a mind to place me in the Pantheon for a long time. I thus instructed him to write this entry for me, in anticipation of my ascension. He has done well. But now his purpose is done."

• The Saint of Killers was an expert marksman who served under the Confederate Army. Though once a happy man, his family died and warmth in his heart with them. After dying he went to Hell for his deeds, but through The Power of Hate proved a better choice as the new angel of death. Rightly feared and capable of killing anything with his guns, he would learn that God had engineered his family's death to make him the Saint of Killers. This eventually led him to slaughter the Heavenly Host, kill God and rest as the new ruler of Heaven.
• Eventually killed his version of Satan. Depending on who you ask, right after he got his new job or after quite a lot of torment. The Satan of South Park was terrified and isn't going to try and take him on. The Emperor of the Kingdom Dolorous wants to complete what his counterpart failed to out of principle. The Saint of Killers is itching to permanently kill, Death Is Cheap be damned, a number of gods, starting with certain devils. There's the Beast, who boastfully mocks he will survive as the thought of him is forever, the Lucifer of Supernatural for his childish megalomania reminding him of Preacher's God, and the Arbiter Satan for potentially standing in the way of him shooting YHVH dead. Also the Devil from Cuphead, since his Devil's Job Offer and dealings remind him of his own devil.
• Because his hate was freezing Hell, Satan whipped and flayed him to make him feel something else. Didn't work. Ramsay thought he could make it work, something so moronically evil Roose Bolton visibly facepalmed. Khorne was impressed by his sheer hatred, but the Saint doesn't want anything to do with the Chaos Gods. The Lucifer rebelling against YHVH was impressed by his tenacity and icing his very YHVH-like God. Being far removed from the stereotypical devil the Saint hates, he's neutral rather than antagonistic to the head of the Grand United Alliance of Chaos. Just so long as he never uses him and lets him rest, of course.
• While the Saint of Killers isn't very sociable and would much rather resting on what used to be God's throne, he does get along with Spawn. Being damned souls and anti-heroes/anti-villains who were made to work under Hell, rebelled and fought against God and Satan, it's not a surprise. He's also friends with Frank Castle given their similar vengeful anti-hero personality driven by the unjust death of their family. The Saint respects Cuphead and Mugman for breaking out of their contract and defeating their Satan, but they don't have much of an opinion on the Saint.
• The various grim reapers in the pantheon regard Satan and/or God making the Saint the angel of death was a stupid idea and no wonder it got them killed. Most of them aren't as intimidated as the original Angel of Death from the Preacher 'verse and don't respect him holding the position, if they have any opinions. The Saint of Killers doesn't care much about the job either. Except Grimm, who is genuinely afraid of the Saint. Then again, he's not that impressive.
• If the Saint can kill a God (not an omnipotent one, but still), he could probably kill some of the deities in charge of death. Going after Death of the Endless is out of the question, but reapers with an ability to die? It's thought that he may be the only human capable of killing Shinigami like Ryuk, without exploiting the fact they die if violate their nature by saving human lives. If Ryuk is at all nervous, he doesn't show it. Ryuk personally considers the Saint of Killers really interesting and is fine just watching him.
• The Saint hates YHVH for essentially being the same as God in his world. YHVH likewise put him high on his enemy's list due to what he did to God in his world, though He does consider that God pathetic for desiring love and attention while YHVH desires pure order. Then again, He believes in The Evils of Free Will mainly out of a desire to be worshipped and praised. The Saint argues that He doesn't even care about Law and is using it as a front for His narcissistic desires. Given the narrative of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, most agree with the Saint.
• Has it out for any malevolent deity, particularly if they hide their selfishness under loftier claims. Darkseid is open about being a despot, but that's just more reason to shoot him. And given a radion bullet did him in before the New 52, the omni-deadly guns should work the same. Zamasu is in many ways worse than the God the Saint knows, however also hates said god. Not out of personal or any real moral reasons, but because Zamasu thinks mortals are hopelessly flawed he considers that God's desire for love from them to be the epitome of pathetic and ungodly.
• Despite his claims Light Yagami isn't a god, but as far as the Saint is concerned he's not much better. Kira felt that the Death Note might be the one thing that'd be able to kill him, however he only knows his first name William. And in the comics' continuity, the Saint's name was never revealed. Not that it could work on the Saint, since the Death Note cannot affect anyone 124 years or older, and the Saint of Killers was around since the Civil War.
• The only rules to what the Saint can't kill are beings truly exempt from mortality and beings who aren't living in the first place to be killed. Close but not total immortality may work, but certainly not what Preacher's God had when not sitting on His throne. The House of Forms of Immortality are a lot more confidant. Voldemort boasted his horcruxes let him survive(which they may, but only in the Resurrective Immortality sense), and he can just Avada Kedava for an insta-kill. Of course the Saint is a quicker shot and doesn't need to say anything to use his guns, so a conflict between them isn't going to end well for the wizard.
• The Saint of Killers was hired by the SCP Foundation to try and get rid of SCP-682 once and for all. Predictably, he failed. Whether this is because there really is no way for 682 to die, SCP-682 is not truly alive and thus can't die by definition, or both, the Foundation is trying to figure out. Most think it's the first option and they are in denial.
• While his twin revolvers could penetrate any shield, armor, or spell to kill almost anyone in the Pantheon (even powerhouses like Godzilla, Chuck Norris, and Saitama), the Death Is Cheap nature of the place fortunately makes it less serious than it should be. Nonetheless, most gods keep a respectful distance from the Saint. The power level to be immune is unclear, however. While some Overdeities like Jiren probably can't survive his Instant Death Bullet, others like the Hadou Gods are so overpowered they might flat out No-Sell the Saint.
• Lobo was sent for a bounty against the Saint of Killers. The Saint's Nigh-Invulnerable status caused him to fail to kill him the first time, but because Lobo is Barred from the Afterlife even if the Instant Death Bullet bypasses his Healing Factor he cannot be put down, pantheon or not. They kept going at it until Lobo just Rage Quit. He does respect the Saint, however, since he proved so full of hate Hell could not crush him. Reminds the Main Man of how he was so violent Hell didn't want him, or any afterlife whatsoever.
• Fortunately The Saint of Killers is most often found sleeping in his shrine and usually minds his own business. But if someone is dumb/tactless/eccentric enough to provoke or annoy him. Because he once slaughtered the entire Heavenly Host, every Angel and Fallen Angel deity in the Pantheon steers clear of him. Well, some angels think he can take him because his author's contempt for religion probably means the angels he slaughtered weren't that tough. It still ends badly for them. Whis is powerful enough to prove the Saint is Not So Invincible After All, but even with a code of non-interference bothering the Saint is a waste of both their time.
• Curiously, all Vampires are immune to his bullets and less surprisingly machines can reboot from his guns too. Even then the Saint isn't exactly a pushover due to his Implacable Man status. This likely is down to being undead and thus killing becomes complicated. The House of Undead and Phasmata is still on eggshells with the idea of facing him.
• He and Kratos have mutual respect for each other due to their shared Rage Against the Heavens and both being fueled by The Power of Hate. While Asura also shares these traits, he is opposed to the Saint's brutal ruthlessness. Aleph felt similarly, but will reluctantly work with him to take down evil gods like YHVH. Ghost Rider also considers him rather immoral and his Penance Star would probably do the Saint in, though given their similar backgrounds there is some understanding between the two.
• Understandably the Saint of Killers doesn't trust any full deity, even if they're benevolent. Chuck being Evil All Along hasn't helped. Most of them keep their distance from him. The Love That Moves The Stars was the only one of them not to ignore the Saint. As the ultimate expression of Love, He was deeply disturbed to learn the Saint's God was driven by a desire for love and twisted because of it, essentially the antithesis of Him, and used the Saint for that. So there is pity for the Saint, however until he works to truly repent for his actions he can't be accepted into paradise. The Saint ignores this because he doesn't want to be pitied.
• He gives Lelouch Lamperouge odd looks when he passes by him due to his Geass being similar to the "Voice of God" of a Preacher he knew back in his world. Also, the Saint of Killers respects most cowboy deities in the Pantheon, giving them a respectful tip of the hat as he passes them by. They find him rather scary and morally questionable, but appreciate that at least.
• The Doom Slayer once blasted him with a barrage of Nukes and The BFG respectively. The cowboy's response when the dust settled;
  "Not enough gun".
  • Doom Slayer recently got an upgrade, however the Saint of Killers was reluctant to fight for other reasons. Mainly, he respects the guy for fighting off the Legions of Hell for eons and has made Hell very afraid. The Saint would rather he focus on that than them competing.

• Opposes: Unicron, Galeem and Dharkon
• Obsessed with: Death herself
• Beware the might and power of the Mad Titan, the inevitable Thanos. A good majority of the Pantheon was scared to learn about Thanos' coming into the Pantheon, considering the power he possesses, even without the Gauntlet. Surprisingly, Thanos made it clear he does not have intentions to bring death, for now.
  • It's for this very reason the Infinity Gauntlet is locked away from Thanos' reach.
• He might be unwilling to do anything to the Pantheon at the moment, but he will try and reunite with his beloved "Death" one day even if he must to kill everyone in the pantheon.
• Sitting on his personal throne. He did have a hand in the alien invasion, the galactic quest, and Ultron's rise, but he has not moved from his throne. This is no longer the case, as he's decided to do things himself now. Even more horrifyingly, he actually accomplished his goals, though he does feel some remorse of the price he paid.
• He finds Erebus to be fleeting human arrogance to desire his beloved Death, but he does find Nyx an interesting creature as she reminds him of her.
  • Naturally Makoto Yuki and Kotone were concerned about the titan's intentions with the beast, and with their S.E.E.S. allies prepared for a possible conflict with the mad god.
• Considers Galaxia pathetic, stating she never truly controlled the universes like he can. She states that part of her life was not good for anyone and she feels like Thanos' actions are similar to all of her past sins.
  • He also makes it clear to Galaxia's friend Sailor Moon that he finds magical girls to be boring brats. Should one try and face him, he claims their love and friendship will be lost in space like their lifeless corpses.
• Loki knows his relationship with Thanos is mostly due to fear of the death-loving god.
• Deadpool and Thanos have a huge rivalry over their love for death. Both desire to meet her so they will come to blows eventually.
• Many compare Thanos to Darkseid for several reasons. While Thanos admits he shares traits to Uxas, he states he has his own ideas and ambitions in store for the pantheon.
  • He's also made a run in with Frieza who seems him as a dangerous threat to his own galactic reign of terror. They've come to a no-violence agreement, but only for a short while...
• Drax was not happy to learn about Thanos' arrival, now aware of Thanos' part in the death of his family.
• He was surprised to learn the many incarnations of Death in the Pantheon. There was Death the Horseman who he respected even if he did not like the "human form" he takes. Thanos finds the Death of Discworld odd for his obsession with cats, which puts him in a better relationship with Gregg. Hades seemed rather too comical for Thanos' liking, and the other Hades only amuses him for his hot-headed.
• Madoka is horrified to learn about the Titan's thoughts on her friends in the pantheon. Thanos made his feelings on magical girls in general clear with this sentence to Madoka and Homura.
  Thanos: "I can't take the idea of magical girls seriously. Your transformations bore me as do your ideals of love and bonds. I will not attack any girl if they agree to do the same for myself. Should any child even think of crossing me, and I will ensure the entire universe will never see or hear about magical girls again."
• He has a strained relationship with Yubel. He's certain he can find ways to protect her beloved Judai/Jaden from those who would harm him. In return, he only asks she keeps those from the GUAG in check after his statement towards them. Still, he never said he would not go after the duelist one day for entertainment.
• Thanos took part in the events of MSH as the final boss and Abyss's rise, so when he heard no one invited the god into the Galactus incident, he felt like proving himself to the powers that be in the universe.
  • Also got involved with another merging of worlds, but this was only to please Death who ended up betraying his truth by revealing she was working with Jedah the entire time. Naturally, this has put a strain on their relationship as he was more than willing to attack her at the end of The Stinger.
• Despite being the lover of death, he does not approve of those who would destroy all life besides themselves such as Abyss and Annihilus.
  • He especially hates Nekron as he believes him inferior to Mistress Death, yet is one of the dominant Death entities in the Pantheon. He's only in the Grand United Alliance of Destruction for the sake of an alliance of convenience. Once the Alliance achieves its goal, Nekron's getting snapped out of existence.
• Thanos is very much despised by the Jedi, as well as a number of Sith. They hate him for being a Galactic tyrant as well as being completely insane. Thanos doesn't think too much of them, but he's well aware that they are not to be underestimated.
• Many believe Thanos is not much a threat without both the Gauntlet and the Infinity Gems. Thanos is aware of such thoughts and just sneers at those who doubt his strength. He is certain to be reunited with the fully powered Gauntlet along with Mistress Death one day. Besides the Mad Titan knows how to bide his time and find those who can find the gems for him.
• Wiz and Boomstick pitted him in a DEATH BATTLE! against Darkseid. His DC counterpart would prove to be the superior of the two.
• Rumor has it that he has a helicopter stashed away in his temple. Thanos refuses to answer.
• Another rumor going on was that he likes to join in on some Fortnite battles, as there were sightings of him at the battleground there. No comment so far.
• Also has a spot in the House of War.
• "I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right...yet to fail nonetheless. It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. I ask you; to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or should I say...I am. "

Intermediate Gods

Alarak

Alarak, God of Authority Positions Determined By Power (Highlord of the Tal'darim, (formerly) Fourth and First Ascendant)

• Theme Song: Unity (shared with all the Protoss)
• Intermediate God
• Alignment: Chaotic Evil, but switches into Chaotic Neutral after hearing the truth about Amon and his "promises".
• Symbol: The Tal'darim Faction logo.
• Portfolio: Popular among the characters in LoTV, Dares to fight anyone who opposes him, Brutal Honesty, Blood Knight, Frontline General, Opposite of Artanis, Might Makes Right, Noble Demon, Extremely arrogant and cocky, Villain Respect, Only knows Violence as a solution, Betrays Ma'lash after learning of Amon's true plans, Plans on killing Amon for his lies
• Domains: War, Brutality, Battles, Retribution.
• Allies: Really few. Considering his Fantastic Racism, the only allies he's got are the GUAC and the Itazura Griefers (notably Lambdadelta). Khorne could be considered since he's accepted by his standards.
• Vitriolic Best Buds with: Artanis
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Jim Raynor] Nova Terra, Alexei Stukov, Sarah Kerrigan, Zargara, Tassadar and all other races in general (especially humans).
• Worthy Opponent: Verod Rath
• Rivals: Zeratul, Warboss Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, Megatron
• Commonality Connection with: Discord, Thaal Sinestro
• Interested in: Jack Ryan
• Annoyed with: The Immortal God-Emperor of Mankind
• Enemies: Anyone who are considered Abusive Precursors comes into mind, especially The Combine and Amon, Harbinger, the Anti-Spiral, The Old Gods
• Known as a heretic in the world of the Protoss, Alarak would betray his brothers to worship Amon, a Xel'naga who told them that he was their creator from the start. This would lead to the creation of the Tal'darim, the "heretic" faction of the Protoss. For their kind, it has a Might Makes Right mentality, where the strongest are the leaders. He rose until he was tied as most powerful with Ma'lash. However, when he heard of Amon's true motives and the lies of promise he said, this lead him to resign and ally with Artanis, with the later time allowing him to retake the Tal'darim by killing Ma'lash and taking his position after the battle. This, along with his expertise in combat plus strategy, gave him a good position in the Pantheon.
• His arrival on the Pantheon has made Artanis proud, with him claiming that with (most) of the Protoss leaders and representatives intact, the race can finally be preserved and in peace. Alarak then questioned how long would this "peace" be kept up. This made Artanis silent, with Alarak responding this:
  Alarak: So much for this peace anyway, back to fighting for us.
  • Ironically enough, he questions the existence of the Main House and the Pantheon as a whole, giving this message as his opinion on its servitude.
  Alarak: "The Pantheon. A conflux of time and space where characters and worlds come together. Sounds like an underwhelming crossover if you ask me. I mean, are you people even trying anymore?"
• With his extremist views, he feels no sympathy for any race, as he sees his Tal'darim being the superior warriors of the galaxy and not just the Protoss in general. This is why he highly disregards humans in every way. Just ask Jim Raynor during their first meeting.
  • However, he has some "personal" meetings with Nova Terra seeing her as a valuable asset against a certain threat known as the Defenders of Man, even more so on his "experiment" on the so-called Terrazine element. So far, he's still patiently waiting for the next test of events.
    • In which he was dissapointed and angered; just as Nova arrested the leader of the coalition, Carolina Davis, he planned to destroy her and the Defenders of Man for good, only for her and Valerian engage immediately resulting in huge casualties for the Tal'darim. This has eliminated any good relations whatsoever with the Terran Dominion, for the time being.
  • Same goes to the Zerg, the race that he has been fighting for centuries. While Sarah may have switched into the side of good along with Zagara and Alexei, he still doesn't care. So long as one is a zerg, then he'll consider them at watch.
  • It has been discovered though that his "hatred" for Jim Raynor could be because of this incident. He has since been angry when mentioning this because a.) Raynor is an idiot and b.) His stupidity costed a mothership on his part.
• His race is known for having huge fights against each other, that most people would think of such as completely immoral. One can argue that the Tal'darim are similar to the Orks (minus the unethical language and tech), with Alarak being compared to Warboss Ghazghkull among all people.
  Ghazghkull: Oy, ain't you a tough xeno now ar ya? Let's go for a fist fite, grot!
  Alarak: *sigh*. This day just keeps getting better and better.
  • On the other hand, the Emperor has commented that him and his race are oddly similar to the Dark Eldar. This comment made him completely baffled considering that he compared a race filled with strong, fighting warriors to lustful, culturistic-driven xenos.
• Apparently, his views on his other Protoss brethren are more or less negative, either too boring or underwhelming in his one eyes. For instance, he finds Tassadar's position as Saviour of the Templar to be pretty disappointing on his eyes. He sees his sacrifice to be pitiful, stating that real Protoss are supposed to fight and live another day, rather than being sacrificial lambs.
  Alarak: You know, I'm starting to wonder if your sacrifice introduced us to being suicidal Protoss.
  • On the other hand, Zeratul for him is nothing more than a word-reading templar since his opinions on the Templar nowadays are rather negative for that matter. His main concern for templars like him, attempting to bore him to death with words.
  Alarak: A Templar? I see. Perhaps you can talk our enemy to death.
• If you haven't noticed it by now, he's a big dick. Almost all the time, he either berates anyone for even the tiniest of failures or constantly mocks the person who did the least amount of effort on the battle. Worse, once he loses and he retreats, he blames everyone for their loss.
  Alarak: I must leave, and I blame this failure upon you.
  • He's also a sadist by the way, for if one ally near him would perish, his sadism increases and gives him a battle boost. For this, plus the huge dick attitude of his, made him have less allies compared to his other Protoss bretheren.
  • This however landed him into the ranks of the Itazura Griefers, with special thanks to Lambdadelta who introduced and instated him into the group. She finds his his trollish attitude worth the invitation and would help in terms of new trolling sessions with the rest. That said, he is still the most unlikeable member of the entire roster.
  • On the other hand, this got him also recruited into the GUAC for his mighty philosophy with his race. Lucifer has taken consideration to make Alarak their commander for the Morningstar Battalion, as he sees his fighting prowess and strategical expereince to be worth the invite. But that suggestion got shot down after going closer to the cultures of the Tal'darim. Instead, he placed him on the Chaos Brigade, the place where his race are compatible with. He has accepted it but on one condition: he gets to challenge a whole bunch of his army for his amusement.
• With his encounter with Amon, he has no tolerance to any Abusive Precursors around the Pantheon, regardless of their agendas. Among those on top of his list, the Combine is on the highest of his kill list. So far as to team up with Gordon Freeman, and by extension, the Vortiguants to extinguish the menance. However, if anything goes wrong, he's going to abandon both parties unless he gathers a backup plan. The only thing thats giving him his worries is Amon's inevitable ascension.
  • With his "meeting" with the Anti-Spiral, he has also pledged to kill the same entity, but not without help. After talking with Team Dai-Gurren, he's ready to extinguish another menance. The problem is exactly when can they strike him down.
  • Another entity (or entities for that matter) he met and vowed to destroy are the Old Gods. Seeing them as creatures to be almost far worse than Amon himself, he has also pledged his "alliance" with most of the inhabitants of Azeroth. Ironically though, most of them questioned Alarak's position as N'Zoth's Corruptor Herald. He's confused about this revelation and isn't proud if it.
  • In terms of similarities, this is why he and Sinestro get along very well. For instance, both were pawns of a powerful entity that they sought to kill, both have a Social Darwinist mindset and both employ fear into the hearts of their enemies. Said similarities also has the latter giving him a Yellow Lantern Ring as a gift, with pleasing results.
• For some reason, he gets a weird feeling everytime he's around Discord. The wyrm also has a weird connection with him too. Maybe it has something to do with either their attitudes or their voices. Then theres also the fact that, one of his attacks is named "Discord Strike".
  • Alarak also gets the same weird feeling around Princess Celestia; he finds that she sounds like his non-ascended subordinate/accomplice Ji'nara. Celestia's trollish personality, which resembles his own, does not help the situation either.
• Just as he was searching for worthy opponents, he found one by the name of Verod Rath. Impressed by his fighting style, huge arsenal of swords and affinity with the red and black color, he finds him to be the true worthy opponent. He also likes the fact that both of them are Blood Knights.
  Alarak: Face me, Jennerit Warrior! Your presence enlightens my prowess.
  • He also got into a heavy fight with Megatron after hearing of his mindset being similar to his race's own. Sadly, it almost ended badly for him, since he didn't hurt the Decepticon that easily, and that he would have almost squashed him, if it was not for the intervention of his fellow Protoss bretheren.
  • Khorne has also approved his skills, and sees his presence to be worth the power of the Blood God. He has yet to reply due to his oddity to his "race".
• Has been watching Jack Ryan just as he ascended. No one has an idea why he would observe him, but if anything said about the Terrazine is true, he might be seeking ADAM as an alternative to new power. Time will tell if he succeeds.
• "I am Alarak, First Ascendant of the Tal'darim."

• Rivals: Melkor, YHVH, All those who have leadership over an afterlife
• Some people are born with a rare unbidden ambition, one that pushes them to reach higher and higher for all of their life, and even beyond. The Emperor of the nation of Palamecia was one such soul who sought to control the whole world, even enlisting the help of the Legions of Hell to conquer it. His campaign of domination was nearly unstoppable, which eventually resulted in the sole resistance being the Wild Rose Rebellion, formed from the remnant of the conquered kingdom of Flynn. Though things seemed utterly hopeless, they nonetheless managed to finally kill the tyrant... But death couldn't stop his desire. Upon his passing, his soul was split into a 'dark' half, which went to Hell, and a 'light' half, which went to Heaven. Each promptly conquered their respective afterlives, deposing the dark and light forces. After which, the Emperor of Hell returned to the mortal realm with his demonic forces to lay waste to it, only to be defeated by the same heroes who killed him. At the same time, the Emperor of Heaven called upon the souls of those his empire had killed to try to convince them to forgive him, only for those same souls to rise up and slay him. Thus was his evil finally over, or so it was thought.
• The Emperor, in a state where both parts of his souls were brought back together, was one of the many warriors called upon by Lord Chaos to act as his servants in an unending cycle of battles, which the ambitious human had accepted only with the goal to take control of both his lord's forces and that of their nemesis, Cosmos. While he failed in that and died once more, Chaos once more called upon him in the Pantheon, even managing to get him the title of those who conquer afterlives. The Emperor's ascension was merely the beginning. Upon learning that there were so many seats of power above the thrones he had taken for himself in his own world and that they were involved in a Forever War that spread across the whole Pantheon, he had decided to extends his original plans and to eventually find a way to usurp the thrones of all of the Great Alliances, so that he can become ruler of all that exists.
• Since Firion is the hero who has slain him twice, it goes without saying that Emperor absolutely despises him and wishes for nothing less than his complete destruction, and it isn't helped by the fact that the rebel hero carry the Blood Sword, a weapon which can effortlessly destroy even the Emperor's mightier forms. The sentiment is very much reciprocated as Firion is filled with rage towards the despot for all the suffering he brought to his friends and the rest of the world. And so, the two are once more staunch archenemies, and the rest of the heroic Final Fantasy have likewise followed the Salamand native in opposing the emperor, especially since a good number of them already were his enemies when they were serving under Cosmos.
• Initially, The Emperor once more worked alongside other Final Fantasy villains under the god Chaos, though he naturally planned to betray them just as he did back when they first fought together. However, this alliance was quickly undermined when Kuja and Golbez ended up leaving the forces of evil and joining up with good. This act quickly irked the Emperor, who swore that he would have the heads of the two traitors for this. And there is tension even amongst those who remained on Chaos's side, as he despises Exdeath and Kefka for their plans to destroy the world, leaving nothing for him to rule. Still, he acknowledges their powers and so tries to remain on their good sides so that he can use them wisely.
  • Another 'traitor' he's been targeting is Jecht, and the animosity is very reciprocated in this case, as the Emperor is the one who brainwashed him to the side of Chaos in the first place. By extension, he also is hated by the former blitzball champion's son, Tidus, who also used to fight for Chaos. The despot couldn't care less that his dirty deeds tore their family even further apart, he just hates the thought of losing pawns.
  • Naturally, this meant that he was by extension serving under Melkor in the Grand United Alliance of Evil. However, this changed when he was approached by Darkseid, who sought to recruit the Emperor's cunning and power for the Harbingers of Repression after hearing about his conquests. Seeing that Darkseid's ideal of a dystopia appealed to him much more than Melkor's spiteful evil, the mage monarch accepted the offer to join. Though he kept his ties with Chaos and, as always, he fully plans on finding a way to bring down Darkseid and become the new God of Tyranny.
• In the Pantheon, The Emperor can split himself into his Emperor of Hell and his Emperor of Heaven halves. While they're both the same egotistical tyrant in the end, his 'dark half' is more openly misanthropic and primarily focuses on laying waste to the world and destroying everything on it, bringing him closer to the ideals of the Grand United Alliance of Evil, and the 'light half' casts himself as a higher and benevolent being, who offers salvation and blessings to wicked humanity, which allowed him to more easily approach the similarly conceited members of the Grand United Alliance of Law. Yet despite those differences, the two have no problem working with one another. In fact, their differing personalities are part of a ploy by the Emperor to take the thrones of the Alliances they're respectively closer to, then unite them to conquer the rest of the Pantheon. Yet both Melkor and YHVH are heard about his exploits, and so are justifiably wary around any of his selves.
  • Hearing of an Heart that was pure evil, even after being purged of its darkness, heavily interested Master Xehanort and his other selves, and the old Keyblade master has approached the Emperor to study it. While the despot doesn't care much for his ultimate goal of purging darkness from people's hearts, he did grow interested in how Xehanort deliberately splitting himself into his Heartless and Nobody to accomplish his plans was much similar to his own successes with his two halves. As such, he has welcomed the latter's attempt to investigate him, and even has been trying to get advice on using time travel to possibly split himself furthermore so that he can have a 'representative' for each alliance. Additionally, since the Emperor of Hell is his incarnated darkness, he can control the Heartless without any dangers, something which he eagerly takes advantage of.
  • Naturally, a good number of deities are horrified by the fact that the Emperor is so nefarious that even his 'good' side is pure evil. On the other hand, Vanitas find the fact that his darkness and light are as evil as the other hilarious and is glad to work with the tyrant on his scheme, something was helped by his tie to Xehanort. However, the three can't help but wonder if the union of his split halves could possibly invoke the X-Blade, something which they are all eager to find out.
• The Emperor has proven himself to be an expert schemer and in fact was the primary brain behind the Warriors of Chaos during the Dissidia conflict, and in fact was the one that came up with their overall plan. He's also completely relentless in his schemes and seldom gives any chance to his enemies, as was proven by his conquest of the world. Of course, any advice he offers is tainted by the fact that he plans to betray any authorities so that he can be the one to stands above all. He's naturally wary around the likes of Motonari or David Xanatos. Though he refuses to admit anyone could possess a greater mind than his own, he is wise enough to make plans that would protect himself against them. Another deity he has grown wary of is Lelouch vi Brittania, especially after hearing that the young man managed to utterly destroy an empire that had ruled over a great part of the world for a century. Lelouch himself despises the Emperor for reminding him of the worst excesses of Brittania, and so the two have been making their own plans on how to eventually dispose of the other.
• A lot of deities have noted that he looks very much like the legendary singer David Bowie, and more than a few of them confused the two on occasion. While the Emperor doesn't have much of an opinion on music or on Bowie himself, the fact that he could be likened to a powerless mere mortal like him anger the prideful despot. Anyone who calls him by that name is bound to get into all sorts of trouble with traps later on.
  • He also flipped off when Nagisa Misumi/Cure Black and Honoka Yukishiro/Cure White mistook him as a reincarnated Pissard, who, you guessed it, looked like David Bowie. The battle raged for a long time and by the end of it, The Emperor has come to hate the two magical girls. As for the two of them, while they did recognize that he wasn't actually Pissard after all, they still staunchly oppose his ambitious and tyrannical way.
  • This resemblance to Bowie also got him comparisons to Jareth, especially when it comes to the way they dress. The Emperor, for his part, grew fascinated by the Goblin King's labyrinth and how he can change every facet of it on a whim. And so, the despot decided to strike an agreement with him so that he can study his labyrinth in the hope of modifying Pandemonium and Arubboth so that he can have an equivalent mastership of them. In exchange, he has been teaching some of his spells to the fairy-like being.
• For a very long time, nobody knew his actual name, as he felt no need to be known by anything lesser than the title that shows his eventual rulership over all. An alternate telling of his tale gave him the name Mateus, but this story also showed him as completely manipulated by Satan and never managing to conquer Hell for himself. Naturally, the arrogant monarch absolutely despised something that made him look like a pawn and so refused to acknowledge it. But it eventually turned out during the wars between Chaos and Cosmos that Mateus was actually his name, though he still never use it.
• Quite naturally, he has been planning on taking over other afterlives, of which there are many tied to the various gods of the Pantheon. Upon learning about how Laharl managed to become Overlord of his Netherworld by simple martial might, as did Lucifer of the Seven Mortal Sins with Hell, he has been making plans to defeat them and take their realms for their own. Both have already heard of the guy's reputation and are naturally quite against this, which means they're fully preparing themselves to fight him eventually. He thinks of the Hell that the Helltaker visited as quite an easy target, since its greatest demons were easily recruited into a mortal man's harem for pancakes of all things. Yet, unexpectedly, he has shown nothing but courtesy towards the visiting angel Azazel, who was fascinated by the thought of a mortal sinful enough to conquer Hell. He seems more than happy to answer all of her questions and to guide her. In truth, he has learned about she grew powerful enough to take over the place herself in an alternate timeline, and so has decided to deliberately guide her along that part so that he can have a powerful ally.
  • There are others in the Pantheon who accomplished the feat of taking over an afterlife. The psychotic adventurer known as Black Mage managed to take over Hell due to his immense evil, but any thoughts in the Emperor's mind about a possible alliance of convenience were quickly squashed by the mage's stupidly destructive impulses. And so, the despot has designated him as a threat to simply eliminate. Upon learning about how the Saint of Killers took over both Hell and Heaven yet had no interest in ruling himself, he had tried to coax him into his services. He was quickly shot down quite literally by the Saint, who pointed out he was no better than the version of God from his world.
• Quite naturally, his despotic ways have earned him the ire of other freedom fighters such as The Night Raid, who swore that they would remove his evil forever. The Emperor would scoff at this, but his experiences with the Wild Rose had taught him very well that even such paltry resistance shouldn't be underestimated, and so he has been planning on how to dispose of the assassins.
• Upon hearing about how a mere mortal usurped the divine positions, Zamasu immediately went ballistics and swore that he would destroy the Emperor and every last one of his accomplishments from reality for the sins of tainting the realm of the gods with mortal wickedness. The despot just laughed at his face, unimpressed by the usual hypocrisy of the Supreme Kai who betrayed his own divine master before exterminating every other deity, then pointed out that they both want to be masters of everything, he's just honest about it.
  • On the other spectrum of tyrannical divinities, the God of Control Yaoldaboth became interested in The Emperor, both because he himself usurped the divinely-appointed role of Igor and because he very much approves of a single empire where free thought is forbidden controlling the entire world. And so, he has approached the mage to offer an alliance, adding that should the latter somehow manage his plans to take over the Pantheon, he would be glad to help him make a world of perfect order. Having very little objections with that as long as he's on top of everything, Mateus accepted.
• For some time, his plans had been interfered with by members of the Rebel Alliance, who seemed to confuse his activities with that of a man that is also mainly called The Emperor. Curious about this coincidence, Mateus went to meet with Sheev Palpatine, the fellow despot in question. Upon talking to each other, the two quickly became interested in each other plans for total rule and immortality respectively. They rapidly decided to ally together so that their empires can form an unified font, though they naturally both are planning to backstab each other eventually.

Sima Yi

Sima Yi (style name: Zhongda), God of Unexpected Victors (The Virtuoso With Hidden Ambition, The Ruler of The Jin Kingdom, Rider/Reines El-Melloi Archisorte)

• Theme Song: The Patient Conqueror
• Intermediate God
• Symbol: The Seal of The Jin Kingdom
• Alignment: Lawful Neutral (With shades of Lawful Evil), True Neutral as Rider
• Portfolio: What he started out as, Evil Laugh, Gives these out constantly, Quick to shut fools up, The Strategist, The Unfettered, Treacherous Advisor
• Domains: Retirement, Strategy, Strength, Ambition, Wisdom, Ruling
• Heralds: Zhang Chunhua (his wife), and the rest of the Kingdom of Jin.
• Allies: Sima Shi (his eldest son), Master Li, Victor Von Doom, Gilgamesh, Sun Tzu, Gracia.
• Rivals: Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Date Masamune
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Susano'o
• Enemies: Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, Sun Ce, Lu Bu, Sun Shangxiang
• On Good Terms with: Roy Bromwell
• Sima Yi is one of the most skilled Strategists of China, Originally was apart of Wei until he decided to form his own Kingdom of Jin, Despite the stronger forces of Shu, Wu, and Wei he and his followers were able to eventually overcome them all and be the ones to win The War of The Three Kingdoms.
  • Sima Yi does not know this is what happened at this point and members are going out of their way to make sure that Sima Yi does not find out the fact as to not boost his already large ego.
• Sima Yi in the Asian scripts, has a mystical motif for his weapon names. In his case, the Qiongqi of the Four Fiends is often referenced due to in one of his strongest weapons, most likely as a foil to his rival Zhuge Liang's motif for the Zhuque/Suzaku (in nod to the location of the Shu Kingdom), and he also has a weapon named after the Suanxing, as not-as-well-known beast that conflicts with the Qinglong/Seiryuu motif in one of the Sleeping Dragon's other weapons. Needless to say, this makes others be even more weary of him due to such motifs.
• Then he let his sons take over as he decided to retire due to old age, but others say he was forced to retire in some adaptations.
• Even in The Pantheon he treats it like a place to continue retirement and often lounges around eating Meat Buns and speaking with other people that he considers not completely foolish.
• Though some have decided to keep an eye on him, some worry that his sudden appearance in the Pantheon is a sign that his ambition is reaching further than the three kingdoms, when the other villains start using suddenly very intelligent strategies it starts putting it all under question.
  • Nowadays, he doesn't seem to associate himself as much with such people, instead actually coming up with ideas and laws to regulate the land to be a better place. However, people won't often let Sima Yi forget the fact he used to be quite the smug asshole (especially with many other portrayals of him), especially during the early years of the war against Orochi. However, people say that he would be no different from Cao Cao in that both of them don't believe in pure birthright traditions without the raw talents and pure wit to back it up, hence both Sima Zhongda and Cao Mengde have been very careful about selecting the right people for the jobs in question.
    • On the topic of betrayal, even in a certain game series called Knights of Valour via its third installment, he even decided to betray the Wei kingdom to serve as a boss for an alternate mystical force. People have often noted him in that series to have pitched laughter while wielding a skull-scepter. Sima Yi himself isn't amused.
• He has a habit of manically laughing when he is about to achieve something, it seems to be a Sima-family thing as all of them have done it at least once (only Shi). Though in Knights of Valour, people note that his laughter is a bit more high-pitched like a crazy magician of some sort (don't say that to Yi himself of course).
  • Sima Shi in The House of Food can agree to this. On that note Sima Yi is unhappy with his son's position and thinks he deserves more but understands that Meat Buns should be protected and enjoyed.
• He also has a habit of calling anyone he doesn't like (which is almost everyone) fools and imbeciles. He has an ego that makes him believe that he is one of the few intelligent enough to understand how to run anything and that besides his family and Cao Cao, he will call everyone that whether they like it or not.
  • He is surprised to see Date Masamune in the Pantheon is different from from the one he remembers while even sharing Xiahou Dun's voice. Even to go so far as to call him an even bigger fool then the one he remembers. Though their rivalry has caused Masamune to call Yi and others "Imbeciles" as well from time to time much his annoyance and Sima Yi's amusement.
• Does not like it when others talk about helping the world through idealism, this is the reason he is not fond of Liu Bei and The Shu Kingdom.
  "Benevolence!? You imbecile! Who wants to live in a world based on flimsy idealistic garbage?!"
  • Ironically, Liu Bei himself agrees he is no different from an imperfect image that Sima Yi despises, since their historical-selves have been recently brought into question.
    • Also does not like it when people bring about the myth that his head can turn around 180 degrees. Many people very close to him will rather you don't snap Sima Zhongda's neck, thank you. Even his supposed rival Zhuge Liang logically dismisses such a myth.
  "Lord Kongming! Is it true that Sima Zhongda can turn his head around 180 degrees...?! Like an owl?!"
  Zhuge Liang: *Chuckles and laughs lightly for a small while, then puts down fan* "....no."
• Despite him being in retirement he doesn't like to be told that he is doing so because he is "Old and Unwanted" as he will talk down and verbally destroy someone then physically destroy someone with his array of weaponry.
• Doesn't like being compared to Lancelot, even if he sounds like him. This ironically enough, also applies to his son, Sima Shi, as well as the aforementioned Orochi and even Chosokabe Motochika (the one from their universe anyway).
  • Also annoyed at being compared to Aizen as he finds him boring, even if they also sound alike.
    • He's also curious if that he wonders if his son Shi will share his soon-to-be-acquired secrets from Toriko in order to make their meat buns quite tastier than before.
• As much as he'd try to enjoy calling out Sun Ce's hot descendant Sonsaku Hakufu as an "imbecile", Sima Yi instead avoids the hell out of her. Because one moment she'd speak (and she does quite a bit...) he just gets reminded of that wife of his that he feared.
• Whatever you do, if you're on his side, best not to mention something about dikes in front of him. It generates a very awkwardly hilarious response.
  "A dike? OH NO!"
  *Recently* A DIKE?! NOOOOOO!!! CURSE IT ALL TO HELL! *grumbles*
• People say that he was the heir of a martial arts school called "Dragon Claws of the Western Mountain". Sima Yi denies claims over this 'school' because to his knowledge, there's nothing 'interesting' about 'grabbing and squeezing someone else's balls'. Though he has to admit, it would be a fearsome name.
• He feels annoyed in that people recall that dumb proverb regarding his style name ("A dead Zhuge Liang scares away a living Zhongda").
  • Fears the day that Zhuge Kongming will possibly ascend towards the pantheon, but it's mainly out of the overblown myths that surround him. "I'm the smarter one historically at the end of the day, dammit! Where's Chen Shou when I need him?!" However, he seems to somewhat get along with Zhuge Liang's Koihime version, Zhuli/Shuri, despite being harsh to her initially.
    • Unfortunately for Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang eventually sent him not a set of female's clothing (since that didn't end up remotely provoking Sima Yi at all in the original novel), but a letter and decisive proofs from Sun Tzu that Chen Shou himself was more partial between the two, and those things that decried Zhuge Liang's myth and overblown superiority came from a realm that seemed to have hots on his Dynasty and Wei's while hating Shu or what was considered 'overrated' by them thanks to Luo Guanzhong, Zhuge Liang being one of them, and resorted to whitewash the hell out of his side. Contrary to what people expected, Sima Yi was furious, he didn't want to win over Zhuge Liang with the help of a hypocritical claim, like the one he spotted on those who spout 'benevolence'. Not to mention that finally reminded him about those days Zhuge Liang stalled his massive force when he had minimum forces, which also happened, according to Chen Shou. He replied back that he wouldn't mind joining forces with Zhuge Liang if it means teaching these imbeciles a lesson, but warns him that after those are done, it's back to them being enemies once again if it must.
  Sima Yi: "This rivalry between us is awkward at best....but it's too late now to turn back. I've had to handle plenty of detractors during my historical life, so this is something I should naturally be prepared for."
• He has recently reeled in a Spear Counterpart of himself, Shiba'i Chuutatsu, as she was a rather smug asshole and it reminded him of his old days of being a smug asshole. Sima Yi has been teaching her how to be a competent strategist and looking respectable while being smug. Though he also wonders if there will be a Koihime Musou version of himself one day...
• Recently, there's a drama adaptation that greatly humanizes him to be someone quite loyal to his state despite being initially someone who wanted to politically protect himself and his family (and portrayed by a notable Chinese actor to top it off). It makes people wonder how much stress he actually went through with all the drama between his fellow council members within the Wei state, as well as him recalling the times he's managed to try his best to help the common people over their struggles during those times as well (historically, that is). Regardless, Sima Yi has stated that the common people should not get caught in the crossfire of his scuffles, period.
  • On a side note, during the one time Sima Yi was there to witness Xiahou Dun's natural death, via the latter's adamant mindset, Zhongda himself cried out "Xiahou Dun....you're such a pain in the ass!" while weeping for his death. Xiahou Dun himself seems to understand what Sima Yi was getting at due to their state starting to undergo some major changes that should've been accepted. Sima Yi bears nothing against the versions of Cao Zhen and Cao Hong from that said drama, but any version of Cao Shuang is still a number one zero-percent-approval target in his book since he was pretty much one of the reasons the Wei court was going to hell unless someone did something about it. Yet regardless, he was quite upset that even though the current version of his youngest son Zhao was someone who wasn't often motivated, at least he wasn't someone who was constantly trying to screw over people with political scheming much more excessively than he himself would in that drama's second season.
    • Zhuge Liang has expressed being actually genuine in trying to talk to him how to politically resolve issues if only they weren't spurred by their personal destinies. Sima Yi once again scoffs at the idea, but also brings up the fact that "at least in that drama, I completely owned up to wearing the women's clothing you sent me as a taunt; your face in reaction to me unfazing stance was priceless."
      "And you should've seen the look on your face when I also survived that valley trap."
• Thanks to that aforementioned drama, Sima Yi is nowadays somehow often seen with a pet turtle named "Far Too Anxious", via a Chinese proverb (心猿意馬). God save you if you dare claim that you killed it on purpose.
• Sometime later, he showed up as a Heroic Servant of the Rider Class using the body of the Magus Reines Archisorte in order to once again challenge his rival possessing the body of Waver Velvet.

Sun Ce

Sun Ce (style name: Bofu), God of Young-Aged Conquest (Little Conqueror, Sonsaku Hakufu)

• Intermediate God
• Symbol: The flag of the Wu army, in the center of a tiger head.
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
• Portfolio: Hot-Blooded, Eagerness of Combat, Conquering Large Areas In Young Age, Attracting Opposites For Close Buds, Warrior Prince
• Domains: Conquest, Combat, War
• Heralds: Zhou Yu (his best friend/brothers-in-law), Daqiao and Xiaoqiao (his wife and his sister-in-law).
• Special Relationships with: Sun Jian (his father), Sun Shangxiang (his sister)
• Allies: Alexander the Great, Sun Tzu, Sonsaku Hakufu (his descendant), Zaraki Kenpachi, Date Masamune, Litchi Faye-Ling, Amane Nishiki, Makoto Nanaya
• Rivals: Liu Bei (his brother-in-law), Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Lu Bu, Great Tiger
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Susano'o
• Enemies: Shao Kahn, Sima Yi, Xiahou Dun, evil deities from House of Magic and Sorcery
• Ascended on the recommendation of Alexander the Great, who, upon seeing the Three Kingdoms warlords gathering, and there's no representatives of the last kingdom, Wu. With Sun Ce's record of conquering Wu in such a young age, and his epithet, he's quickly accepted.
• When he met his 'high school hot girl counterpart', Sonsaku Hakufu, Sun Ce was extremely surprised that he will have an uber hot descendant. But, he'll refrain from hitting her, Sun Ce is still pretty loyal to his wife Daqiao. That, and he sometimes wished his Hakufu-counterpart wasn't rushing into trouble a lot since Sun Ce at least had some level-headed approaches.
  • That being said, he's still a little miffed when he heard about Cao Cao one day trying to include his wife in his harem. He didn't live long enough to hear that back then, though Cao Cao himself is annoyed at how overblown the myth is, while Sun Ce is shrugging as he notices the warlord always slipping away at the mere mention of "The two Qiaos are here!"
  • On the other hand, when he heard about Hakufu's tales in life, Sun Ce was actually surprised on one thing. Maybe he didn't live long enough to see this guy, but one of his brother's latter officers, Gan Ning, was told to be actually a psychopathic ruthless bastard, much like what Hakufu encountered. It was actually something that was taken out of the pages of history. Regardless, Sun Ce actually gave Gan Ning a break, he was pretty sure he'd know and this whole Lovable Rogue/Pirate thing was a mean to atone for such indecent life. Gan Ning himself recalling times of what Lu Meng's mother did for him, was feeling grateful once more.
    • Regarding history, fellow gods were quite surprised in that Sun Bofu himself had some solid ways of dealing with rival warlords with some rather impressive tactics. He may hide a lot more inside of his head than one thinks...
    • In regards to Hakufu, another female counterpart of his named Xuelian/Sheren tends to be freaking him out in that she's in a homosexual relationship with that universe's version of Zhou Yu named Minglin/Meirin. Sun Ce has stated outright in that he does not roll that way for his best friend.
• He actually had a lot of blast when visiting various Gods from BlazBlue. He's quick friends with Makoto Nanaya for their tonfa combat, nearly mistook Litchi Faye-Ling as the bodyguard of his brother Sun Quan, and once the mistake was straightened out, Sun Ce befriended her and not exactly one to condemn her for her decision. And lastly, on meeting Amane Nishiki, Sun Ce had a deja vu, not only on the similarity of their voices, he thought Amane was the second coming of his sworn brother Zhou Yu. Though Amane's not into strategy (especially the historical Sun Ce's way of thinking), Sun Ce respects him.
• Once got into a fight with this verse's Date Masamune, who had a lot more in common with him than the one he met in his original world. Sun Ce actually had a lot of fun with this guy, seeing that this Masamune isn't one to worship Orochi. He finds it odd he also shares Xiahou Dun's voice.
• He's not exactly one to make a lot of enemies, he usually refers them as 'rivals', 'sparring partners', etc. But he'll make exception to Shao Kahn, who he realizes as a threat of every living beings and swore to stop him at all costs. This is different from how Alexander, his 'senior', viewed Kahn.
• Meeting his brother-in-law Liu Bei has been a bit of an awkward encounter, given Liu Bei's actions following the Battle of Fan Castle. However, after hearing both sides of the story, Ce assured him that he doesn't hold his actions against him, as Ce probably would have acted similarly upon losing one of his sworn brothers as well. That, and while Liu Bei was very infamous for how his historical-self was, the Liu Bei before him right now has changed and will change for the better.
  • Now that his ascension has put the Wu Kingdom into the Pantheon, the Three Kingdoms are now ready to resume their battle. However, the change in setting has made their fight much larger than it used to be. For this reason, Ce has been recruiting prospective warriors into his ranks, as well as trying to get more of his comrades to ascend. With any luck, he can eclipse his old title of "The Little Conqueror", or perhaps he can merely have the three kingdoms join forces for more common threats instead.
    • However, in terms of his brother-in-law relations, having two-new-sworn-brothers-in-law, his wife, and two other two siblings-in-law....his father Sun Jian is going to have a lot on his plate. Sun Ce can do nothing but rub the back of his head with little words to move the mood.
    • Also, he FORBIDS Sun Quan to go drinking with Zhang Fei; the former in historical records is a nasty drunk while the latter's only a drunk in his current + fictional portrayal; Sun Ce has been getting both Zhou Tai and Xingcai's help in trying to get rid of all the wine around them so they won't drunkenly-destroy stuff like crazy.
    • This also applies to Cao Cao's middle son, Cao Zhi, as well. Sun Ce upon realizing they have a third crazy drunkard to deal with has started working on countermeasures right away, all while swearing at the realization. Those three younger siblings in the end, are sure a lot of work.
• It took time for him to get a little more comfortable towards the good people in the House of Magic, but he does get rather wary against them, considering the last time he got paranoid over this magician called Gan/Yu Ji caused his untimely death. But if said magician is evil, deep down he's kinda glad that he can strike without holding back (ESPECIALLY the Koihime version). And there's a whole bunch of them.
  • However, part of Sun Ce feels a little guilty in that it was possible that his more popular novel portrayal was merely prejudice towards such myths that opposed his people's trust in him.
• Upon meeting Amane Nishiki, Sun Ce had a deja vu, not only on the similarity of their voices, he thought Amane was the second coming of his sworn brother Zhou Yu. Though Amane's not into strategy (especially the historical Sun Ce's way of thinking), Sun Ce still respects him.
• Great Tiger soon heard he wasn't the only fighter known as "Tiger" as there was another known as the "Tiger of Jiang Dong", so he immediately flew there on his carpet. Upon arrival, he met the great general of Wu, Sun Jian, as he was with his eldest son and generals. Tiger challenged him to a battle only for Sun Ce to step up and fight in his father's place. Even though Ce put up a good fight, he was immediately overwhelmed by the clones allowing Tiger to land his Magic Punch on him. Jian then stepped up and the two fought. Unlike Ce, the elder Sun was familiar in fighting magic copies as he faced them during Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Rebellion and was able to make it through Tiger's Mirage Dance, striking the mystic with a finishing blow. Instead of feeling anger, the Hindi wizard felt invigorated having faced a worthy foe since Little Mac and hoped to again challenge Sun Jian for a rematch.

• Opposed By: Eddard Stark
• Feared by: All evil Orc deities in the Pantheon
• One mysterious day, around the time of the ascension of the Witch-king, Talion found himself wandering around the Pantheon, looking quite lost. Looking into his situation, the Court of Pantheon were very much impressed with the feats in his journey, specially the amount of fortresses he's managed to take down and conquer that belonged the Dark Lord of Mordor himself. And with some arrangements, he was officially ascended into the Pantheon.
• Through his actions in his series, Talion has shown to be one of the most dangerous foes one could face in all of the Pantheon, seeing that as he not only grew in power to the point of outright rivaling Sauron himself, but has also fought and defeated some of the Nazgûl one on one in a fight, single-handedly reclaimed Minas Morgul from the group after defeating them there, and with some help, taken on and managed to bring down a Balrog.
• Has been quite an controversial figure in his methods of building his armies against Sauron, spefically with his branding of Orcs, clearly showing his ethnics are not completely straight and narrow. His harshest critics frequently come down hard on him for this, pointing out that this makes him more like Sauron than he'd like to believe. His defenders on the other hand point that he's only done this to Orcs and other creatures of the Dark Lord of Mordor and he hasn't done branding to any other living creature in his world. It is worth noting that when he WAS presented with the choice of branding the Nazgûl form of Isildur by his partner at the time, that was a line he very much WOULDN'T cross and he came to realize this would make him no better than the enemy he was fighting.
• Due to his unique status and experiences, he has different relationships with each member of the Fellowship of the Ring; nonetheless, he deeply respects each of them and appreciates them for doing what he could not: defeating Sauron, unmaking the One Ring, and freeing him from his cursed undeath and forced servitude to the Dark Lord.
  • Upon learning that Frodo Baggins was in the Pantheon, he made a beeline for his temple and knelt before him to express his gratitude for the hobbit's role in destroying the One Ring. As a fellow Ring-bearer (though of different Rings) with plenty of experience with Mordor and its denizens, Talion expressed amazement for Frodo's immense fortitude in carrying the Ring into the very heart of Sauron's dominion. Unfortunately, the meeting quickly soured when Frodo's Achey Scars began to give him grief, with Talion ashamedly confessing that he stood beside the Witch-king as the latter wounded Frodo on Weathertop. Things only went downhill from there when Talion mentioned working with Shelob, to Frodo's immediate dismay; for his part, Talion reacted with immense confusion to the hobbit's account of getting poisoned and nearly killed by the great spider, as that creature sounded almost diametrically opposed to the shadowy yet helpful ally whose wisdom and foresight Talion came to depend upon during his own adventures. Frodo has forgiven Talion for his actions as a Nazgûl, however, and the Gravewalker has sworn to defend and protect all hobbits everywhere, both in honor of Frodo's deeds and as penitence for his own.
  • If anything, Samwise Gamgee was even harder to win over than his master, mostly owing to his extreme protectiveness of Mr. Frodo. However, Talion found a surprising Commonality Connection with Sam: neither of them like Gollum and only work with him when absolutely necessary. Talion also expressed admiration for Sam when he heard of the hobbit's vicious one-on-one duel with Shelob, having once seen the spider fight six Nazgûl to a stalemate. (Granted, she was wearing the New Ring at the time, but that doesn't make Sam's feat any less spectacular.)
  • Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took were more ambivalent towards Talion, with their major beefs against him naturally stemming from his and the other Nazgûl's harassment of the hobbits throughout their quest. They have expressed appreciation for Talion's doomed but Heroic Sacrifice, however, with Pippin comparing it to Boromir's failed Last Stand at Amon Hen. Talion was also interested to learn that Pippin is a knight of Gondor, and he has expressed wry amusement at possibly being outranked by a hobbit who barely reaches his waist.
  • As a loyal son of Gondor, Talion was extremely glad to learn that Aragorn had been crowned King of the Reunited Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor, and upon learning that he was also in the Pantheon, he rushed to his temple to swear his fealty. After learning of the magical device known as a "video recorder," the Ranger filmed himself kneeling before Aragorn and sent a copy to the Witch-king. He was also intrigued to learn that Aragorn, like himself, was a former Ranger. For his part, Aragorn sees a lot of Boromir in Talion, considering him to be more valiant than wise; nonetheless, he praised Talion's efforts to defeat Sauron and then to stymie his war machine as long as possible and gladly counts the Gravewalker among his knights. The two can often be found sparring, pitting Aragorn's superior skill and experience against Talion's wraith powers.
  • Gandalf has embraced Talion as an ally, despite his deep misgivings about overtly utilizing Rings of Power (especially when fighting Sauron) and mentally dominating enemies; as the Gravewalker points out, he's well aware of those hazards now and wouldn't have forged the New Ring if he'd known back then. The wizard expressed very little surprise at the revelation of Talion's status as a Nazgûl, simply repeating a line that he had once uttered to Lord Denethor:
    Gandalf: I pity even Sauron's slaves.
  • Talion naturally hit it off with Gimli, as he reminds him of Torvin. Gimli might not be as great a hunter, but he's definitely a much better fighter.
  • Talion is mildly distrustful of Legolas due to his experiences with Elves, but he recognizes that Legolas has a different background than either Celebrimbor or Eltariel and is trying to treat him as his own person. Upon witnessing Legolas's archery skills, Talion commented that it may have been Legolas who shot down his fell beast during a scouting run on the Anduin.
• Was pleasantly surprised to find Shelob in the Pantheon as well, considering the fact that he hasn't seen her since he became a renegade Nazgûl and died before seeing her once again. Likewise, Shelob was glad to have such a reliable ally of hers to have ascended and hopes things don't go the way they did like when she was with Sauron.
• Sauron was PISSED when he discovered someone such as him from Middle-earth has entered the Pantheon, with Talion being the one that slowed Sauron's progress through Mordor to a halt, which was made worse after he fused with Celebrimbor and became the Eye, when Talion preceded to hold that line for decades. Despite this, he hopes to make him a Nazgûl in order to being him into heel once more.
• Is uneasy with the idea of teaming up with most elves thanks to past experiences, understandable since he allied with two previously and was left to die by them.
• On that note, while he very much respects the position Lord Elrond holds both in the house and in Middle-earth, the part elf reminds Talion a lot of Celebrimbor, the closest thing he had a friend when fighting Sauron, who betrayed him and left him to die. Still, the Ranger does recognize they are both on the same side when it comes down to it.
• Due to his title being all about attacking and doing hostile takeovers of enemy castles, he has made enemies of villains who have many strongholds of their own such as Ganondorf and Dracula. Likewise, Talion isn't happy at finding out there are more tyrants like Sauron in the Houses and is more than willing to deal with them when the time comes.
• REALLY doesn't like Zant since he reminds Talion too much of that particularly insane Orc who had the bright idea of summoning the Balrog he had to fight.
• Isn't too happy that he has to cooperate with Smeagol/Gollum once again, at the insistence of Shelob, who has made him her official messenger to Talion in the Houses.
• Due to the tragic death of his wife and child in front of him and going on his adventure to avenge them, he has found common ground with Asura, who has also had a identical experience.
• Thanks to his less than honorable ways of dealing with his enemies, Tailon is very much disapproved of by Ned Stark, spelling out repeatedly that his actions were evil, cannot be excused by the cause he fought for and that turning the means, creatures, and weapons against the Dark Lord made him no better than Sauron...which Tailon doesn't completely disagree on.

• A high-ranking and very influential officer in both the German Army and Waffen-SS, Wilhelm Strasse is the man most responsible for the Nazi Germany in his world winning World War II and conquering the world. In addition, he is also the most infamous and prominent enemy of famed Nazi Hunter William Joseph Blaskowicz. Born in 1860, in his youth he had a dream: to create a Robot Buddy that he could hold whenever he was afraid. This ambition of his eventually culminated in him joining the Nazi Party in the 1930s, becoming a scientist and doctor in the Waffen-SS. As a member of the organization, he would further his medical and scientific research, culminating in the creation of Super Soldier prototypes in 1943. Unfortunately for him, he would be targeted twice by the aforementioned Captain Blaskowicz, who ruined his plans twice and almost killed him. Despite these setbacks, however, Deathshead remained determined in his pursuit to further advance his weapons designs.
• Eventually, Deathshead and his SS Research Division came upon a major archaeological breakthrough sometime before 1944. Coming across ancient Jewish artifacts housing advanced technology from a group known as the "Daat Yichud", Deathshead immediately got to analyzing the artifacts. What he found was that the technology in question was several decades ahead of any existing technology. Despite the tech being of Jewish origin, Deathshead decided to be pragmatic enough to reverse-engineer it, and combine it with his own existing technology, creating a series of powerful weapons and war machines that would soon turn the tide of the war in the Axis favor. These next-generation machines and weapons would prove their worth during the Normandy landings in June 1944, which saw the Germans repelling the Allied invasion force, inflicting 156,000 Allied casualties for only 89 Germans killed. A short time later, these same weapons would inflict heavy casualties on the British Royal Air Force, to the point that they would be reduced to a shadow of their former selves.
• Realizing the threat that Deathshead and his new weapons posed to the Allied war effort, the Office of Secret Actions decided to target the Nazi General direcftly, who by now had become the most influential man in the Reich, and the center of his tech production, a castle compound located off the Baltic coast. Using intelligence taken from Deathshead's second-in-command Helga von Schabbs, the Americans and British launched an all-out offensive on Deathshead's compound with several dozen transport planes, fighter-bombers, and elite Allied paratroopers. Led by Captain William Blaskowicz, the Allied Forces suffered heavy casualties, with Deathshead's advanced aircraft and robots decimating large swathes of Allied aircraft and soldiers. What's more, Deathshead's own soldiers, like most of the German Army at that point, were equipped with the latest generation of small arms, which were overall better than the Thompson submachine guns carried by B.J. and his fellow soldiers. Nonetheless, B.J., determined to stop Deathshead, managed to advance further into his compound alongside a small handful of fellow soldiers, with them taking out dozens of Nazis, Ubersoldats, and advanced war machines in the process, including the massive Baltic Eye. Unfortunately, Deathshead anticipated the Allied soldiers making it into his compound's upper floors, so he set up an ambush for them. Capturing Blaskowicz and his fellow soldiers, the Nazi General gave B.J. a Sadistic Choice, to sacrifice one of his friends for his experiments. Immediately after brutally killing one of Blaskowicz's friends, Deathshead leaves the survivors to perish a fiery death inside of his lab's crematorium. While the survivors do manage to escape, Blaskowicz is separated from the group when shrapnel hits his head, leaving him comatose and badly wounded. Ultimately, the attack on Deathshead's compound fails, as, despite the German casualties and destruction, Deathshead himself, and many of his weapon design blueprints, make it out alive and intact, respectively.
• Following this failed assault, the Nazis, now equipped with Deathshead's revolutionary tech, would go on to bring the war to the doorstep of the Allied nations, conquering them all one by one. For the United Kingdom, this was a seaborne invasion that ended with the capture of London, the Soviet Union being beseiged for months, ending with Stalin's overthrow and death by angry mob, and finally the United States getting several of its cities nuked into oblivion. By 1948, all three of these nations would surrender and be fully occupied by Nazi Forces. However, this wasn't the end of the Nazi's ambitions. In 1949, they would end up annexing their own Axis allies Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan, despite having supplied them with advanced weapons and technology during the war and aiding them in their conquests of North Africa and mainland Asia. The Nazis themselves would continue annexing other parts of the world well into the 1960s, particularly sub-Saharan Africa. And if that wasn't enough, the Nazis decided to go further by sending expeditions to outer space, establishing space stations on the Moon and Venus, complete with concentration camps, military headquarters, and weapon research stations.
• Deathshead's downfall and subsequent demise would take place in late 1960, when B.J. Blaskowicz, having awaken from his coma and was now working as part of the Kreisau Circle, stormed his personal compound once more. Despite being caught completely by surprise when the resistance used the same Daat Yichud tech against him, Strasse was determined to fight back even to the point of near-death. Using a Super Prototype robot and Powered Armor, he fought Blaskowicz while taunting the American, ultimately losing and being stabbed multiple times. Despite this, however, Deathshead had one last trick to offer the American, specifically one last attempt to kill him via grenade. While it ultimately didn't kill Blaskowicz, it did badly wound him to the point he was crippled. And despite Deathshead's successful assassination and destruction of his compound by nuclear warhead, his legacy and contributions to the Nazi War Machine were still significant, as much of the advanced technology he had reverse engineered and produced was now in widespread use, and the Third Reich itself still spanned most of the entire globe, and would continue to do so well into the 1980s.
• Following Johann Schmidt's and HYDRA's successful overthrow and assassination of Downfall Hitler and his cronies in the Pantheon, the now-de facto Fuhrer makes it a point to ascend other like-minded Nazis to further his and his organizations cause. To achieve this, Schmidt and HYDRA would send several of their agents into several Alternate Universes where the Nazis had come up with various war-winning tech that could threaten the Allied war effort. Among the first individuals that caught the HYDRA leader's attention was none other than Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse, no thanks to his rather impressive track record. Immediately, Schmidt, seeing the potential of having a brilliant mind similar to his own working with him, made the necessary arrangements to bring the late SS General into the Pantheon.
• And so, Schmidt, with help from fellow HYDRA scientist Dr. Arnim Zola, ascended Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse into the Pantheon, resurrecting him in the process. The version of Deathshead that they had arranged to be in the Pantheon hailed from the Alternate History where the Nazis defeated the Allies and conquered the world, just as Schmidt had hoped for. Surprised to find himself in a completely new environment alive and well, Schmidt briefs the Nazi General about how they saved his life and gave him a second chance. He then asks Strasse if he could build his advanced weapons designs and tech for his planned takeover of the Pantheon under the Nazi and HYDRA banner. Having been pragmatic enough to see the potential of using the inventions of a Jewish Secret Society and seeing Schmidt offer him a chance to continue developing his experiments, Strasse immediately agrees to help his new allies.
• Given the title of The God Who Successfully Defeated And Conquered The Heroes' Home Nations, Deathsead would have his personal compound rebuilt to its exact configuration within the Pantheon, with the castle serving as his personal Temple. Unfortunately, due to the destruction of his compound by the Kreisau Circle, many of his advanced weapons designs, particularly his 1960-era ones, were destroyed in the nuclear blast. Fortunately for Deathshead, he still had on him the schematics for many of the older 1946-era designs, which are still fairly advanced and easy to produce. He decided to mass produce these older, but no less deadly, weapons for the time being, with plans to eventually supplant them and the older stocks of upgraded weapons with the 1960s versions of the weapons. The 1960s versions, due to their more advanced technology and need to be engineered from scratch again, would for now be produced in small batches of pre-production units for field trials, and given to certain elite units such as the Waffen Storm Leaders and Nazi Storm Elites.
  • In addition, many existing German weapons and vehicle designs already present in the Pantheon would be upgraded with his tech. Many German infantry units, already deployed in the Pantheon would also receive new weapons and equipment such as the STG 46 Assault rifle, a further development of the STG 44, MG 46 machine gun, a further development of the MG 34 and MG 42, the Bombenschuss rifle, developed from both the Karabiner 98k and FG 42, and the Shlockhammer, a 12 Gauge Automatic Shotgun. German officers from the Heer, Luftwaffe, and Waffen-SS would also receive special headsets that allow them to communicate directly with German High Command and call in reinforcements immediately to their positions.
  • Having found out about the existence of Schwarz Sonne, a Nazi holdout based on the moon, Deathshead immediately makes contact with them, asking them to lend some of their technology to him so that he can improve and reverse-engineer it to his technology's own standards. It is hoped that this would help accelerate his weapons and technology development by at least a few years, which would hopefully allow him to defeat both the Allies and Soviets in due time.
• Strasse himself would also help arrange for other Nazis and their wonderweapon projects to be ascended in the Pantheon as well. Among the most notable that the SS General had handpicked to be in the Pantheon included Hauptsturmfuhrer Rudolf von Sturmgeist, who had funded and helped construct the Horten Ho IX jet fighter, Generalfeldmarschall Franz Vahlen, responsible for the construction of the Landkreuzer P.1000 Ratte, and General Heinz Bohm, responsible for the creation and production of the Ms 300 anti-ship missile.
  • Aside from individuals, Strasse also arranged for the Nemesis Squadron, an elite unit of the German Luftwaffe known for having created nuclear weapons and flown prototype aircraft, to ascend as a whole alongside their aircraft. In terms of ground forces, Strasse helped arrange for the ascension of the elite Schutzvollstrecker and Valkyrie Jager, the former being a top-secret unit of the Germany Army deployed to North Africa in 1943 in an Assassination Attempt on Winston Churchill, the latter being an elite German Paratrooper unit deployed to Italy and tasked with protecting important German scientists and a top-secret wonderweapons project being developed. While both units had failed in their missions thanks to the actions of Lt. Karl Fairburne, Deathshead was still impressed by their competence, training, and weapons arsenals. To this end, he provided both units with upgrades to their equipment and weapons, with some of them even receiving pre-production models of the 1960s versions of his weapons.
  • Upon their ascensions, Deathshead would appoint the aformentioned individuals as military governors for certain occupied areas of the Pantheon, whilst also cooperating with and aiding in them in upgrading and mass-producing their wonderweapons designs. Whilst Deathshead could have easily overthrown Schmidt and HYDRA with his newfound sphere of influence, he chooses not to, preferring to operate from the shadows and focus on further research and development, rather than running the Reich's day-to-day operations directly, something that Schmidt can do just as well.
• Amongst the first of Strasse's completely new wonderweapons projects in the Pantheon was Projekt Weisshexe, the codename for the cloning, resurrection, and eventual ascension of The White Witch Sophie. Originally cloned by the Germanian Empire to counter Eylstadt's Propaganda Hero Izetta, Sophie proved to be a massive success on both the battlefield and in terms of scientific breakthrough, helping to defeat the Eylstadt Army in just 2 hours, and giving the Empire's scientists access to Hexenium, crystallized magical energy that could be utilized as a power source for Germania's wonderweapons, which included nuclear missiles. Ascending former Germanian Empire officer Lt. Col. Arnold Berkman into the Pantheon in order to obtain the necessary intelligence and blueprints needed to clone the White Witch, Deathshead promised Berkman that he would restore his rank as a soldier within the German Army, to which the Germanian officer agrees. With help from Johann Schmidt and HYDRA's Dr. Arnim Zola, plus funding from fellow Nazi organizations LDO and Milleneum, they manage to create improved cloning machines derived from the original Germanian blueprints. Successfully cloning the White Witch, giving her a vial of the witch Tanya's blood, and giving back her half of the powerful Magic Stone, Strasse, Berkman, and Zola decide to take her resurrection further, and gave the newly-revived witch a dose of HYDRA's Super Serum. The end result? An already-formidable Military Mage with the strengths of a Super Soldier, plus access to revolutionary new cloning technology and the much-valued Hexenium. In exchange for helping the Nazis and HYDRA defeat the Allies, Sophie is promised the ascension and subsequent conquest and destruction of the Principality of Eylstadt, a promise that the Nazis ultimately keep, due to their need for territory and resources to fuel their war effort.
  • Upon Eylstadt's ascension into the Pantheon, an invasion force led by Sophie, and equipped with a number of Strasse's 1946-era weapons, attack the small Alpine nation from 3 directions, conquering the nation in less than 2 hours, forcing their Army to flee into the mountains and fight a guerilla war, and virtually wiping out their obsolete air force and armored units with ease. This Curb-Stomp Battle and quick Nazi victory establish to the entire Pantheon on why Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse represents the trope that he was given.
• While hesitant to work with their Italian Fascist and Imperial Japanese allies due to the possibility of them turning on him due to his previous record of annexing their countries in his timeline, he nonetheless provides both of his Axis allies the same advanced weapon designs and technology that he has been supplying to the German Forces. In fact, the supplying of this tech via the Nemesis Squadron allows the Japanese Forces deployed in their part of the Pantheon to launch a series of counteroffensives against the United States Navy and Marine Corps units deployed in the tropical oceans and remote Pacific islands of the Pantheon.
• While willing to work with other Nazi organizations like the aforementioned Millenium due to their goals aligning for the time being, he doesn't exactly approve of their primary methods in doing so. Having seen his fellow SS members in the SS Paranormal Division fail to control the paranormal and supernatural and get killed for their actions with no benefit whatsoever, Deathshead has become convinced from these multiple experiences that the Nazis who exploit the supernatural for power are doomed to failure, and that relying on advanced tech alone is the key to victory. Given how his tech ended with a Nazi Victory and world conquest with no signs of further paranormal and supernatural exploitation, while both Millenium and the LDO ended up losing their wars and abandoning the Reich, he isn't exactly wrong in this mindset.
• While Deathshead's ascension and subsequent strings of success allow both the Reich and the other Axis members to fight back against the Western Allies and Soviets, the Allied nations don't take this new threat lying down. In fact, thanks to Deathshead's now-infamous reputation and track record becoming known thanks to the invasion and occupation of Eylstadt, several deities have decided to make it a point to aid the Allied Forces present in the Pantheon before they can end up the way the Allied Forces of Deathshead's own timeline. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who commands the American war effort, has arranged for the ascension of reinforcements capable of neutralizing the threat that Deathshead and his wonderweapons pose.
  • With help from Captain Steve Rogers, Sgt. James Buchanan Barnes, Dr. Abraham Erskine, and Agent Margaret Carter, they manage to assemble a task force of elite Allied soldiers. Amongst them include elite Allied operatives like Lt. Karl Fairburne of the SOE and OSS, Lt. Mike Powell of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, and most importantly of all, Strasse's old Arch-Enemy Captain William J. Blaskowicz of the OSA. With help from other units like Easy Company of the 506th PIR and Charlie Company of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, the Allied Forces launch attacks on the various production facilities, testing sites, and German military bases housing Deathshead's weapons or the components that make them.
  • Thanks to these coordinated attacks throughout Reich territory, production of Deathshead's new weapons falls months behind schedule, forcing the Germans to scale back on major offensives. This lull in the fighting gives much-needed time to launch a counteroffensive to retake Eylstadt, first by ascending the nation's hero Izetta into the Pantheon, then giving the nation its rightful leader Archduchess Ortfine Fredericka von Eylstadt into the Pantheon. Whilst Sophie and the forces under her command were driven out of the country, Deathshead assures her that this is but a temporary setback, as he plans on destroying the nation with Hexenium-powered wonderweapons when the time comes.
• While Deathshead's main enemies are Blaskowicz and the Allied Forces backing him up, they're far from the only threat to his and the other Nazis' reign of terror. The Soviets, particularly Marshal Georgy Zhukov, have managed to hold onto their territory against Deathshead's forces, no thanks to many of his officers falling prey to Soviet snipers such as Vasily Zaytsev, Dimitri Petrenko, and Vasili Ivanovich Koslov. In addition, Colonel Yevgeny Borisovictch Volgin and General Nikita Dragovich, some of the more radical elements in the Soviet hierarchy, wish to reverse-engineer Deathshead's weapons for Soviet use, specifically to take out all of their enemies, both within the Soviet Union and without.
• And for that matter, the threats to the Nazi regime aren't restricted to being exclusive to Earth. The Chimera, hailing from a world where World War II never happened, have proven to be a massive threat in their world and are now threatening both the Axis nations including his own as well as the Allies, including Blaskowicz. Having found out how the Chimera destroyed Europe, this reinforces his notion of not exploiting the supernatural for gain and profit. And despite this common enemy, Deathshead refuses to team up with the Allies, preferring instead to wage a three-way conflict with them and any other alien or supernatural threats the Pantheon offers.
• Thanks to his advanced weapons designs and technology, Deathshead and his creations have become a recurring topic by the Bedtime Stories Crew, with them finally being able to answer many of their unsolved or hanging questions established in previous episodes that focused on Stupid Jetpack Hitler and even a handful that focused on Ghostapo. Deathshead himself is rather fascinated by their episodes focusing on Nazi wonderweapons, with him amused by the supernatural incidents at Celle Neues Rathaus, seeing the failed experiments in the basements as yet another reason to why he wouldn't take part in it.

"You call me "Deathshead". I don't like it. I'm a happy man, you see? It doesn't sound right in English. Say it...correctly. Toten...kopf."

• Opposes: Americans in general.
• Khaled Al-Asad became notorious after he publicly executed president Yasir Al-Fulani and declared war to the US. In reality, it was all a plan for Imran Zakhaev to distract the U.S. while the Ultranationalists gained control of Russia while Al-Asad was given power and control of his country. However, the S.A.S. managed to capture and execute Al-Assad after the detonation of a nuke that killed 30.000 american soldiers, which angered Zakhaev. Al-Asad since then found his into the pantheon, thanks to both his collegues Zakhaev and Makarov arranging his ascension.
• He was not happy that Captain Price was in the pantheon as well. He is still very bitter about how he beaten him up and then executed him.
• Al-Asad was welcomed by the likes of Scar, Azula and Macbeth because they also did a coup of their own. Although he doesn't consider them worth their time since they won't be useful in the fight against the U.S.
• Al-Asad also is a big opposer of the West as he believes that they are the true cause of the corruption of his country and declaring war to America. That led to the death of 30.000 soldiers and many more forces that served Al-Asad, all while he hid far away in Azerbaijan. General Sheperd holds a special grudge against him for leading to one of his biggest failures and maybe his Start of Darkness.
• Considers Kamala Khan to be a traitor for being allied to the west. However, he hasn't really told her that in her face, he wouldn't really risk to be beaten by her anyway.
• He considers himself a Rebel Leader with a good cause, but he isn't seen in a good light but other deities who are also from rebel factions. Yet, he has allied himself with Arcturus Mengsk given their shared similarities and ideals, while he earned the hatred of Jim Raynor.
• The OpFor has decided to support his leader after he was deified and thanks to a deal with HYDRA, they now guard the temple of Al-Asad because he has become overly paranoid after his mortal death. Rumors say that his temple has nuclear weapons installed within it, but no one has been able to confirm this.
• Gauron has decided to aid Al-Asad on his cause provided he offers him a huge sum of money. He has agreed on the condition that he keeps Captain Price at bay.
• Al-Asad also considered making an alliance with HYDRA in order to get more protection. They also agreed to aid the OpFor in their fight against the West, which made Captain America angry and became bitter enemies with Al-Asad.
• Often can be found giving encouraging speeches to his followers. But everyone knows that his words are pure lies and that he is a manipulative bastard.
• "هكذا ابتدأت (This is how it begins.)"
