  • When Perpetua was designing the early DC Multiverse, she made it a triumvirate of matter, anti-matter and dark matter. Her first son, Alpheus, would be the World Forger in crafting new universes. These were shaped by the Crisis Anvil, which allowed him to retcon things in-universe. Hypertime and the Life Entity are but two of his creations. His dragon, Barbatos, would dispose of the unstable worlds. He would ultimately team up with his brothers Mar Novu(the Monitor) and Mobius(the Anti-Monitor) to stop their mother's mad schemes of weaponizing the multiverse to retaliate against those that might judge her guilty. Though his brothers went to war with one another as the newfound Source Wall made the Anti-Monitor's role more or less defunct, the World Forger would carry on his job and stay out of their feud. Unfortunately the dragon got greedy and killed him, turning the Dark Multiverse into a sustained nightmare realm.
  • Death is not the end for Super-Celestials, and he was resurrected in the Sixth Dimension. Initially he threatened to lock up those who might side with Doom to ensure that Justice would prevail and foil his mother's evil, but Batman would convince him there was another way. Still, while Alpheus opposes the grand evil of his mother, he is ultimately a neutral being. He doesn't take sides with the various alliances, but he does make it clear he opposes the leader of the Grand United Alliance of Evil for his close alliance with the treacherous Barbatos, seeking to hijack the World Forge when the Flame Imperishable remains beyond him, and as one of the things his mother did was ally with Melkor it is another reason to oppose the rogue Valar.
  • With Barbatos imprisoned, the World Forge can now create new universe while failed ones are destroyed and recycled in the Dark Multiverse. Concerned he might be a bit rusty after his stay in the Sixth Dimension, Alpheus has been seen talking with the Alpha and Omega, and the God known to Bob for advice. They can understand the difficulty in creation.
  • He does not trust Grima or Antasma. It's a justifiable opinion, but it's mainly fueled from his history with Barbatos who's a bat dragon. The World Forger is considering asking Tartarus to help imprison threats to creation. During his travels he would meet Nox, who he became somewhat fond of due to being The Sacred Darkness, and somewhat relatable to him. The World Forger holds a fondness for Giratina as well, since while being a demonic-looking dragon with a nasty temper, is only so because it is concerned over balance and order. The rest of the Creation Trio found Alpheus' addition a great benefit, due to his expertise in the molding and shifting in space-time.
  • One of the few beings that the Anti-Monitor tolerates. Though he ultimately sides with Perpetua and remains a driven Omnicidal Maniac in his feud with the Monitor, the World Forger is a figure both brothers have respect for. The First Son of Perpetua laments that Mobius remains evil, fondly reminscing of the time they combined into the Ultra-Monitor to face off against their mother. The World Forger's opposition to his mother means he ends up working with the Celestials and the Ones. Of the Ones he finds himself relating most with the Father, due to being in the middle of a good and evil dichotomy. He is also friendly with Cosmos, as while he isn't good-aligned he does want some sort of stability for the cosmos and he finds Justice more useful in achieving that than Doom.
    • His close alliance to the Celestials comes from the fact they brought him in the pantheon to prepare for the possible arrival of Perpetua.
  • Alpheus is most impressed by Madoka wielding the power of Retconjuration to end the ultimately unjust system of witches, though it came at a cost. He has also found Emmet Brickowski's optimism combined with his skill at building to be charming. Though not interested enough in him to be a proper ally, he did give Emmet a heads-up warning that there is a world in the Dark Multiverse where Rex Dangervest succeeded at ensuring Emmet becomes him.
  • His goal during his "heel" phase was to lock up those who chose Doom and remake the multiverse so it only contains those of Justice. Zamasu decries turning against this decision, as he had hopes Alpheus would make a perfect world. The World Forger scoffs at him by saying his definition of perfect is merely "perfect to me", not what's actually "perfect". However feel he has a point that the Dragonball Multiverse needs to be improved. He's rather annoyed by Beerus' sloth, but does think Mosco is doing a decent job. He's yet to express his thoughts on the two Zeno.
  • Sometimes the World Forger finds himself talking with various Knight Templar and Well-Intentioned Extremist deities. YHVH seeks out the World Forger to help usher in a perfect multiverse. He states that he should pursue his plans to create a multiverse of Justice. The Divine Powers also seek him out to use the Crisis Anvil in their favor. The First Son of Perpetua tends to turn them down, along with Eliphas' request as he feels he should focus more on his job and preventing the evils of his mother right now. And he'll never hear the end of it from the Source's enforcers if they learn he's been meddling in the core affairs of other multiverses.
  • Nerose Satanel believes he should've stuck by his guns, however otherwise has no hard feelings as he can understand a perfectionist desire. The World Forger has given his own critique on the Hadou Gods in response, at least when it comes to the ascended ones
    • Mithra; created a fatal error by things into "good" and "evil", resulting in unending conflict. It has taught Alpheus more about the balance, or lack there-of, of Justice and Doom, and has made him reconsider how one should manage them.
    • Nerose Satanel; actually impressed that he created a world of Justice, though Batman has pointed out to him Justice rings hollow if it is achieved at the sacrifice of free will.
    • Mercurius; a bit concerned with the consequence of Eternal Recurrence, but otherwise doesn't feel he did that bad a job. Perhaps it's because the DC Multiverse is semi-cyclical. Enrico Pucci believes he should reshape Hypertime to fit this more, in order to play to his belief that if everyone already knows their fate they will be content with their lives at last.
    • Ren Fuji ; pities what his Law leads to, but hopes for improvement.
    • Hajun; considers him completely insane and a threat to everything everywhere. He has all of Mobius' extreme solipsism but with no restraint whatsoever and if he were to complete his Law and destroy the Masadaverse, he knows the rest of the omniverse would be on his hit list. He feels the same about Lord English, who while not a Hadou God has the power and raging omni-dickery to want to tear apart the World Forge and the omniverse apart.
  • He represents dark matter, and is frustrated that Barbatos' machinations have derailed what would eventually become the Dark Multiverse. It's meant to be rich in potential, and Barbatos chose to rule the broken worlds he was supposed to get rid of. Returning to the World Forge, he was a little miffed that Rick had stolen some of his supplies. It wasn't easy, but in the Trope Pantheon he needed to buff his dark matter-powered portal gun and other interdimensional travel devices. However Alpheus has enough that Rick's theft is merely a nuisance.
  • As a celestial master of dark matter, the World Forger was rumored to have ushered the Dark Matter Horde. He denies this, and they are likely connected to Void Termina anyway, but they are still intrigued to him and his nature. Unfortunately so is the Dark Star, who wishes to one day assimilate the darkness of the Dark Multiverse and overcome the World Forger as part of its plan to destroy all things and leave all in darkness. When Kirby asked if he had any plans for them, the World Forger replied that to know what to do with the Dark Matter Horde he must first clarify the true nature of Void Termina and a reltionship with the Horde, but he is yet to be convinced they pose a grand-scale enough threat to his role as the World Forger.
  • Jimmy Neutron was intimidated by Alpheus as his Evil Twin tried to use a dark matter chip to create an evil copy of Earth at the expense of the real Earth's existence, however he soon deduced the World Forger is not evil. He wondered if Evil Jimmy may have somehow replicated the Dark Multiverse's physics on a micro-scale, but notices that "a world full of evil" is more like the Antimatter Universe or recent iterations of Earth-3, so it probably works in a different fashion. Jimmy wondered if he could help fix things, however the First Son of Perpetua declined the offer and stated "dealing with the quagmire that the Dark Multiverse has become is a job for the experts".
  • Another reason why the World Forger rarely takes sides is because he has a job to do, well, forging worlds. Despite his official house, unofficially his real home in the pantheon is the House of Craft. He is looking for someone he can trust to help eliminate the failed worlds while he brings up the ones worthy of light. After working with Neith, Vulcan and Dyntos in the art of creation, Amara signed up to the job, as it's kind of her thing. Alpheus welcomed this, however was concerned by her brother as he considered him a bit too..childish. Honestly, it's a kind way of putting it.
  • The creator of Hypertime, the World Forger is an important figure in the House of Time and Temporality. With his excellent smithmanship he can keep the various retcons and changes to the timeline straight in the Trope Pantheon. It's said that whenever a retcon in the pantheon occurs, it comes down to Alpheus swinging his mighty Crisis Anvil. He knows many wish it to be put at rest in Maximum Security, but the First Son of Perpetua refuses to relinquish the weapon for even a moment's notice; he has so much work to do after the whole Barbatos incident.
    • An additional reason for his reluctance to let the Crisis Anvil out of his hands for even a second is that he knows Melkor desires it almost as much as the Flame Imperishable. And he told Melkor off for his coveting.
    Alpheus: "You seek the Anvil to create, which was your desire before spite consumed you. But you don't know how, and can't use it efficiently. You will only corrupt and mutate due to your limited understanding, incomplete wisdom and petulant childishness. If you cannot come to terms you are being used as an example by Eru, you are nowhere ready to use the Anvil in any efficient manner".
  • Unlike the Dark Enemy, Death Phantom is smart enough to not provoke the World Forger as he could swat even his true form away like a fly. However this only fuels his conceit against Alpheus, as his ability to create and reboot worlds would undo the destruction he plans. The ultimate nihilist dreams of striking the First Son of Perpetua down with his own Crisis Anvil, burn the Sixth Dimension to the ground so he can never reform and then finally shatter the Anvil so what is done can never be undone. Fortunately for everyone but the likes of him, that's all it can be; a dream.

  • The adventures in Epic Battle Fantasy always consisted of Matt, Natalie, and other allies that joined them later on to gather loot and experience, get stronger, and take on an increasingly threatening array of foes in epic RPG battles. However, little did the protagonists know, even as they began to fight against much more powerful monsters and even gods, that they were fighting a system controlled by a much more dastardly otherworldly entity. The Devourer, the one behind the conflicts with the games, was actually using the heroes' universe as simulations for creating a universe devoid of chaos and randomness, and the party of adventurers was unwittingly throwing a wrench into the Devourer's machinations. Each time the heroes completed their adventure, the Devourer had to reset the simulation, and each simulation would be represented by another game that the EBF party would have to overcome. With every reset, the Devourer grew more frustrated at its control was being broken by Matt and friends, raising the stakes of the world and even observing the universe's events through the Cosmic Monoliths. On the Devourer's fifth simulation, it began to reset the world to a greater extent, wiping out the party's memories of their previous adventures, resetting the world yet again, and introducing the Cosmic Gigalith to not only invade the world but to serve as a passageway for the Devourer to the heroes' dimension should things go south for the simulation once again. And as the Devourer continued, it realized the main threat was not just the five heroes standing before him, but an unseen force enacting the very acts of chaos and unwanted variables in his clockwork universe, using the party as their avatars against the Devourer, playing through the Devourer's simulation as if it was a game. Being unable to directly act against the player themselves, the Devourer sought at least exhaust the player by defeating the EBF party until the player was bored, but due to how strong the heroes became, the Devourer was finally slain, freeing the EBF universe from its manipulations, and all that the Devourer deleted would gradually come back over time, but little did they know what really happened to the Devourer...
    "THAT BATTLE BOUGHT ME ENOUGH TIME, AND I'VE FOUND A WAY INTO YOUR HIGHER DIMENSION! I'VE MANIPULATED THE PIXELS ON YOUR SCREEN, AND THE SOUNDS FROM YOUR SPEAKERS, AND SENT MY DATA THROUGH TO YOUR WORLD! I'LL BE HIDING IN YOUR COSMIC BACKGROUND RADIATION. IN THE CHAOS OF YOUR DARK ENERGY. SOMEDAY THE LAWS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS WILL REASSEMBLE MY DATA, AND I WILL FINALLY MEET YOU."
  • The Devourer expected to end up in our own dimension, desiring to fully manifest again and to quash the ones responsible for thwarting the Devourer's designs. And the Devourer managed to reform far more quickly than expected, but the Devourer sensed a great abundance of life and entropy in this new destination that the Devourer had arrived to. To be cautious, the Devourer decided to hide within a nearby vacant dimension, and slowly search and scour the cosmos to seek and eliminate the player. In truth, the Devourer had arrived in the Pantheon, and while the Devourer was correct in suspecting that the player, known as INH in the Pantheon, would be found here, INH was technically still safe from the Devourer's full wrath, but INH's avatars and associates were now in grave danger. Once the Devourer set up a new Cosmic Gigalith, the Pantheon was slowly being manipulated by the Devourer, with memories of specific things vanishing, space-time being altered, and eventually, deities and even worlds began to go missing, with a majority of deities not realizing, but already had a team of those experienced with dimensional phenomena made a lot of progress in investigating the Devourer, as if they had been prepared for this very situation from the start. Meanwhile, several deities related to INH were beginning to notice the discrepancies and manipulations the Devourer caused, and among them was the EBF party, who expected just another normally strange adventure in the Pantheon. Once the likes of them encountered several Cosmic Monoliths, however, the EBF party realized that the Devourer had encroached into the Pantheon, and hurried to give the group responsible for investigating the anomalies a warning about what they were up against, but by then, the latter group had already been on the verge of breaking the Cosmic Gigalith. With the Gigalith's destruction, the Devourer physically emerged into the Pantheon, and in reaction to encountering the same avatars that slayed it before, went berserk and attempted to delete as much of the Pantheon as it could. But the Devourer gravely underestimated the new deities and other multiversal guardians who had been monitoring the Devourer, and the Devourer was once again defeated, every reset and deletion by it being reversed with time, returning the Pantheon to normal, but instead of the Devourer trying to escape to a higher dimension, the Devourer's essence was now tethered to the Pantheon, with a new trope bound to the abominable force, turning them into another god in the Pantheon. It was revealed that the Pantheon's guardians were aware of the Devourer's plans and deliberately summoned it here, with the purpose of deifying and imprisoning the Devourer within the Pantheon, and in the process, denying the Devourer's final chance of victory against INH, with much enmity and rage on the Devourer's behalf.
  • Knowing better than to directly antagonize the Pantheon again, the Devourer lies within a separate dimension still bound to the Pantheon, patiently interacting with allies and potential pawns, in wait for an opportunity to truly take the Pantheon for itself, to strip it of all free will. While the Devourer is now able to directly oppose INH, he knows that they are still separated by dimensions, and until the Devourer can breach their universe, it will have to contend with their avatars, of which there are plenty who are also aware of and regularly interact with INH, on top of other protagonists that INH has served as a "guardian" towards. The amount of video game worlds that the Devourer has observed as being influenced by INH's presence has astounded the Devourer, even more that for the majority of them, their "code" is similar to the code he has utilized to run the simulations that were the Epic Battle Fantasy games. The Devourer has often entertained the thought of toying and experimenting with such worlds after settling business with INH and the Pantheon, and bringing them all under its absolute control as well. But at the absolute minimum, if its allies aren't keen on sharing territory, the Devourer will settle for merely escaping the Pantheon and continuing on its original goals.
  • The Devourer was invited by Kronika, a cosmic being known as a Titan who predated and stood over the likes of Elder Gods in her universe in hierarchy, to work alongside her since their goals both involve absolute control and yet don't conflict enough for them to clash with each other, and had the Devourer acquainted with Darkseid, an Old God who sought to eliminate all forms of free will and put endless suffering and oblivion in their place, something that the Devourer cared little for. Not to mention that Kronika has a minor hunch that the force behind INH just might being playing a role in the fate of her enemies in her world as well. The Devourer sees them as worthy allies and has gotten them more interested in opposing INH directly, given their ability to instill meddlesome free will and autonomy in their avatars in the safety of another dimension. That said, neither Kronika nor Darkseid, and in fact neither do we know what the Devourer desires from a clockwork universe devoid of chaos and entropy. Is the Devourer an entity of order itself? A monstrosity that benefits or enjoys a rigid world of order? A pawn of a greater Status Quo? The Devourer has no interest in answering, and is keen on deleting those who attempt to pry further.
    • Additionally, it views Galeem and Dharkon to be like one of his creations, Godcat, with Galeem being like the light half and Dharkon like the dark half, except with Galeem's goals being closer to the Devourer's, and Dharkon's as incompatible in comparison, which is quite unexpected given that Dharkon is closer to the Devourer in appearance, not to mention that the pair are of elements that the Devourer is weak to. However, the Devourer seeks to help Galeem win their war as Dharkon mainly since their ability to subdue video game characters would make Galeem a powerful game piece should Dharkon fall for good, being able to stay out of Galeem's way and manipulate Galeem from another dimension, but that will have to wait until the Pantheon can provide the opportunity to let that balance shift.
  • However, there are rumors that the Devourer is also working alongside the GUAD at the same time. Given the Devourer's desire to delete the entire simulation of Epic Battle Fantasy when things weren't turning out its way or if the EBF party captured the Devourer on a New Game Plus run, it is considered feasible that he'd be serving both the forces fighting for absolute tyranny and order and the forces for omnicide to benefit from either side's victory. If the former side wins, the Devourer can revel in the type of universe it set out to create in the first place. If the latter side wins, the Devourer can simply reset the universe in the Devourer's favor, or simply move on to deal with INH. Given that the Devourer's goals would completely undermine the GUAD's cause, the GUAD members are wary of the Devourer's assistance. Disturbingly, the Devourer seeks to get closer to Giygas, another mass of incomprehensible power, who was in the end finished off by INH themselves, and seeks to utilize Giygas to his advantage in spite of Giygas' lack of sanity, and has already gotten the Starmen that serve Giygas to also fight for him as well, to accompany the Cosmic Monoliths, causing the Chosen Four to be more actively opposed to the Devourer as well, and in turn they are being observed by the Devourer knowing that Paula's prayers managed to invoke INH's support.
  • YHVH initially believed that the Devourer would be a rival in his goal of creating a world of absolute order, but it turns out that the Devourer was not only willing to let YHVH have his way with this dimension if need be, but was willing to help YHVH oppose INH, after convincing YHVH that INH was behind the fall of YHVH in several timelines, especially times when important people who chose the path of Chaos would cause YHVH's downfall, even those like the Demi-Fiend having been avatars of INH as the Devourer claims. Of course, YHVH's archnemesis, Lucifer, was keen to make sure that the Devourer's operations were continually watched and sabotaged when possible, knowing that without the likes of INH, his Forces of Chaos would hardly be able to put up a resistance against the Devourer, and when he suspects the Devourer to be going after protagonists related to INH or even attempting to delete them, Lucifer is preparing himself as well as GUAC members for such events.
  • Shuma-Gorath, another eldritch Tentacled Terror, has become a rival to the Devourer due to also being a dimensional invader, but with significantly different goals for the universes he invades. Instead of wasting time on controlling universes, Shuma-Gorath creates universes devoid of death, and filled with much chaotic creations and suffering, creating mayhem for the hell of it. And unfortunately for the Devourer, there are not only more entities that could match the Devourer in dimensional influence, but there are a significant amount of beings responsible for preventing such things that do have a chance in stopping the Devourer. Dr. Strange, one of the involved parties in the Devourer's initial defeat in the Pantheon, is frankly irked by having to deal with what is essentially an Anti-Shuma-Gorath that could try to Ret-Gone his allies if given the window of opportunity.
  • As for other gods and divine beings that saw the universe as something to keep constant control of or even use it as their plaything, the Anti-Spiral was initially concerned about the Devourer's deletion ability until it realized that such a thing would be very handy in sundering any problematic sources of Spiral Energy, so the Anti-Spiral decided to cooperate with the Devourer's machinations. Chuck Shirley, also known for destroying many realities to make one that would go his way, noticed the similarities in the Devourer's goals and simulations, but doesn't trust the Devourer to make a universe that he'd enjoy, but continues to tolerate him since he doesn't want the Devourer to mess with his realities. Zamasu initially wanted to enlist the Devourer's assistance in his crusade against mortals, and got the Devourer interested in eliminating the Saiyans that opposed him, due to them reminding of this feline entity known as "God" that he neutralized and reduced to a role that couldn't threaten the Devourer. However, as he looked into the Devourer's feats, he realized that he may have misjudged the Devourer as just a being willing to put mortals under complete control or oblivion to the disorderly. Not only did the Devourer create the likes of Akron and Godcat, divine and demonic beings in their own right, but was even able to reduce Godcat, a creator and destroyer deity into a Limit Break. Zamasu doesn't want to look further into the implications of the Devourer being an entity that even treats gods and divinity like Zamasu himself as mere tools, treating them the way that Zamasu treats mortals, since he frankly finds the Devourer disturbing enough.
  • When it came to other characters who are aware of INH and the player and have their own interpretations of said player, they all equally oppose the Devourer due to the threat he represents. Niko, someone who was trapped in a simulation run by the World Machine, and had to work with INH to restore the world, is against the Devourer for trying to control such simulations and viewing its inhabitants as mere playthings. Pochi among the Go-Getters Club was an "X-Type" who was able to communicate with the player, who is known to them as an "Otherworlder", and worked alongside the player to help the Go-Getters Club to survive their dilemmas. Due to understanding the Devourer as a potential threat to the Otherworlder, though aware they can't oppose the Devourer directly, is keen on keeping his friends aware of the Devourer's actions. The Heroes of Luxendarc, who identified INH as the force that guided them to their quest and helped them against Airy and Ouroboros, are also determined to fight against the Devourer and his minions should the Devourer attempt to delete their friends or reset the world. Thankfully, Ouroboros and the Devourer see each other as rivals, due to the former not wanting any competition in invading the "Celestial Realm" that the player inhabits, and being completely incompatible with the Devourer's goals, but Airy is willing to also work with the Devourer in hindering his opposition, though she has to be extra cautious since the Devourer knows her true loyalties. Kaos also is aware of INH as the Portal Master thwarting his plans, and even attempted to enslave them at one point, but doesn't want to mess with the Devourer having dealt with another eldritch force known as The Darkness who ended up playing him for a fool, as the Devourer would.
  • Frisk, while having a complicated relationship with INH, opposes the Devourer just as much as his friends that are aware of what the Devourer represents. Flowey, who was normally known for antagonizing Frisk and being aware of the resetting abilities Frisk had and he once had too, also dislikes the Devourer knowing what the Devourer is capable of, from resetting simulations, and being able to delete entities like Flowey, even if he could use his Omega Flowey form. The Devourer in turn is interested in Frisk's potential Genocide counterpart, mainly due to "Chara", another fallen human child who managed to "take over the simulation" from the player, even in separate playthroughs, and is interested in unleashing Chara into the Pantheon. The Devourer is also aware of Sans, who even attempted to stop the player from making Frisk go through a Genocide Run the same way the Devourer attempted to hinder the player by killing Matt and his friends over and over again, but doesn't see Sans as a significant threat to the Devourer, not that Sans is willing to put the energy to look like one, but he's wary of the Devourer's interest in Frisk.
  • The Devourer's minions of consist of Cosmic Monoliths, scouts and surveillance units of the eldritch master that are created by the Cosmic Gigalith, and are functionally extremely advanced alien technology. While Cosmic Monoliths are meant to observe foes on the Devourer's behalf, it proves a terrifying foe on its lonesome. It is armed with extremely potent dark magic on top of other forms of magic, and infamous for its Doomsday ability which can wipe out unprepared parties once it's charged. It's immune to most elements with the exception of electric and water attacks, their main weaknesses. More significantly, they hold the ability to warp space-time to their advantage, enabling it to teleport and easily dodge enemy attacks, and even use it to crush enemies if their magic is disabled. Due to their power and utility, the Devourer's allies tend to have some Cosmic Monoliths floating around to make the lives of their enemies more difficult than ever. It hasn't stopped people from trying to understand and research the Cosmic Monoliths for their own gain. Doctor Eggman has already started on reverse-engineering the Cosmic Monoliths, given that their dark power can be utilized against the Devourer, not to mention that Lance of the EBF party has already done so to develop potent technology of his own. Certainly, if someone like Lance who couldn't even trounce forest villagers with his army was able to rework it to his advantage, why couldn't Eggman do the same?
  • There were some notable opposition to the Devourer who also had a romantic attachment to INH, though the Devourer scoffs at the idea of such a relationship given that the Devourer views the player and INH by extension to be a rivaling dimensional intruder who would also be "above" such pathetic relationships. ICEY, one of said individuals, fiercely hates the Devourer and intends to defend INH from the Devourer's plans to the bitter end, not just due to her desire to personally meet the player behind INH, but due to the Devourer reminding her of her Narrator who intended to control the choices she made and even managed to disconnect the player's influence from iCEY to eliminate her, only for her to break free and escape on her own. (Though, the other Narrators in the Pantheon like Stanley's Narrator or Game are similarly appalled by the Devourer itself, finding the Devourer just as horrifying.) The Doki Doki Literature Club also grabbed the Devourer's attention, or at the very least just Monika (and by extension Sayori), due to her ability to be aware of the simulation they were in, and to manipulate the game and even delete other characters in an attempt to get "closer" to the player. In a sense, her abilities weren't much different from the Devourer's own abilities, but Monika's former insistence on using them just to stay with the player forever on top of refraining from such abilities has led to the Devourer completely dismissing Monika as squandering her own potential and being as insignificant as her own friends.
    The Devourer: EVEN WITH POWERS THAT COULD COMPARE TO MY OWN, YOU INSISTED ON WASTING THEM ON A VILE NUISANCE FAR BEYOND YOUR OWN PLACE IN YOUR SIMULATION, AND EVEN THEN, IT HASN'T STOPPED THAT INTERLOPER FROM THROWING YOU OUT WHEN YOU BECAME DETRIMENTAL TO THEIR INTERESTS. IT IS CLEAR THAT IN SPITE OF WHAT YOU COULD DO, YOUR DESIRES AND ATTACHMENTS ARE WHAT SEPARATES THE SERVANT FROM THE MASTER. I SEE NO REASON TO DEEM YOU AS ANY RELEVANCE BEYOND THE ROLES YOU SHARE WITH THE VERMIN YOU CALL YOUR COMPANIONS.
  • Due to the nature of the Devourer's abilities, the Devourer can and prefers to manipulate the Pantheon across dimensions without having to deal with threats in the flesh. Being able to reset memories or even manipulate the code of the universe to alter things, the Devourer has its ways of manipulating things to its desire, even if it can't directly reset the Pantheon itself. More horrifying is the Devourer's ability to delete the likes of anyone that isn't an Overdeity in the Pantheon, or even worlds and locations if the Devourer is given the opportunity to do so. While non-sentient planets can be deleted instantly by the Devourer, Intermediate and Greater Deities are able to resist the effects of Deletion, though not to an indefinite extent. The main drawback with this power is that the Devourer can't permanently delete entities, and once the Devourer is killed, all that the Devourer deletes will be fully restored. It's easier said than done, but the Devourer isn't physically invincible. The Devourer once encountered Kirby who managed to destroy the Cosmic Gigalith, and Kirby managed to take on and defeat the Devourer by sucking up pieces of Cosmic Monoliths and using their ability to destroy the Devourer before deletion could finish off Kirby. The Devourer has also learned the hard way that some figures are simply beyond the Devourer's power, when an attempt to reduce Lord English, a known hunter of eldritch creatures, to a non-threatening role, had simply failed and led to Lord English breaching the Devourer's current dimension, then retaliating and thrashing the Devourer into bits. From that encounter, the Devourer has learned to be elusive toward Lord English as well as Doc Scratch, who the Devourer cannot also manipulate due to being under Lord English's power.
  • The Devourer, searching for more potential elements or entities that could function to hinder the player in their tracks, learned about two particular beings who have a more... troublesome relationship with INH to say the least. The first was White Face, an ominous figure who was able to interact with the player's files and even be able to potentially intrude into their computer, though White Face did end up being defeated in the end. It's still interested the Devourer enough to understand how they work, if only to learn how to do it better. And then there was the Batter, a man obsessed with purifying the world, and had INH as a guardian to aid the Batter in his quest, but when the time came for the Batter to finish his mission, there was a possibility for INH to rebel against the Batter, not that it deterred the Batter from fighting back. That said, the Devourer knows that it would be viewed by the Batter as another entity to purify, and keeps away from him, given that his desire to purify the Pantheon is something it can let slide. That said, the Judge, who views INH as the Batter's "Puppeteer", doesn't like the Devourer either given how tyrannical the Devourer is with the simulations he creates.

"IN THE END, I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE TO RESET THE WORLD."

  • Allies: Yog-Sothoth, Cthulhu, Azathoth, Shub-Niggurath, Discord
  • Enemies: Nyarlathotep
  • One day, an albino girl with a medical eyepatch appeared in the Academy. People around her recognized her, but at the same time they couldn't tell who she was, so she slipped beneath everyone's notice. However, as things went on, strange things started to happen, most notably with some of the students being drawn into creatures told in the works of H.P. Lovecraft. All while the students saying that they know the girl ages ago.
    • Eventually, the student with the eyepatch suddenly disappeared for a while, and things started to calm down. However, in House of Time and Space, some gods heard an odd "Kishishi" giggling somewhere where Yog-Sothoth "resides". And there the girl was, who then removed her disguise to show her true identity as Mugen Yoguruma, the Mage of Yog-Sothoth. Apparently it was easy for her to sneak into the Pantheon due to her work not being recognized here and started messing around with people's "fates" and such. They didn't really have a good way to get rid of her after that so she sort of stuck around.
  • Mugen is a "Mage", a person who is infected by "Color", a type of corruption from the evil gods of Cthulhu Mythos (and some other monsters), corrupting the person's mind and turning them into monsters. Mugen was infected with the Color of Yog-Sothoth, gaining the ability to warp time and space. She then used her new powers to mess around, in particular using artefacts to infect people with Colors.
    • … Well, that is the story that she tried to spun. The truth is much more grand. In a world left undocumented, the mechanical god Demonbane absorbed the essence of Glyu-Uho to become the "Vortex Blaster", becoming strong enough to destroy the Great Old Ones, Outer Gods and their avatars and finally end the dead heat between it and Azathoth. The thing is, death of Azathoth would result in the destruction of every universe what do, did, would or wouldn't exist. This is where Mugen, the fragment of Yog-Sothoth comes in. She was able to extend the moment of Azathoth's death so that she can have a chance to create one last world where it can be reborn through an avatar of sort. Everything she did was a set up for hopefully get girl named Hatsuni Azana to become the who will remake the universe.
    • There is one aspect to her appearance, which was when she appeared in a crossover between Nitro+ heroines. At first she seemed to just be an Assist Character, using her Fist of Yog-Sothoth to help her summoner (even if she hits them with them), but in reality, she is the one to orchestrate the entire event after taking reigns off a girl called Another Blood. Her plan was to gather together the Necronomicon by stitching together remains of Al Azif across different universes, the Silver Key by recreating an incident that happened in Arkham City in the past as a "murder mystery play" starring the heroinesnote , and the Shining Trapezohedron which was inside a girl called Ouka in order to recreate the Ultimate Gate to bring birth to a new universe where Azathoth can be reborn. Yes, she turned a crossover into an interquel.
  • When asked about what is her relation with the Yog-Sothoth that was already in the Pantheon, she sort of shrugs. Is she a fragmented aspect of it when she was defeated, or a completely different version of it. She doesn't really care.
  • She really doesn't like Nyarlathotep, who she calls a "cheap imitation" of the actual deity, and is even more annoying than the Sphinx, saying that his "salvation" thing was more endearing than Nyarly's constant talk about humanity's darkness. The two of them play chess together, though, discussing stuff.
  • She is quite interested in the antics of LOL Rangers, Itazura Griefers and the Trollkaiger. While she hasn't really decided to which one to root for, she isn't planning to join the Trollkaiger due to Nyarly's icky tentacles being tied around it. If she would join, she would be called "Diamond Ranger"/"Itazura Diamond" note 
  • There are some gods who really wish to lock her away, fearing that her actions would cause more problems than needed. The thing is that she is capable of escaping just about any magical seals placed on her if she wants to. Keyword being want, as she is willing to be locked away if needed.
  • One thing she is being cautious about are the Three God Tools, three artifacts that she used to recreate the Ultimate Gate. While she is not sure if it can be repeated like things are, it is better to be safe than sorry later on. Especially since all three of them are in the Pantheon.
    • First is the Shining Trapezohedron, an artifact that can be used to seal away Evil Gods and also be used to majorly hurt Nyarlathotep and those related to it. She was surprised that she found it in the possession of a boy named Mahiro Yasaka, as he is neither a pure hero or a pure villain. Upon further investigation, she learned more about the world he came from and those related to him such as Nyarko and was rather surprised that such a world could exist. She is keeping an eye of them to see how things turn out there.
    • Second is the Silver Key, which is one of few things that can threaten her as it can seal away her powers temporarily. She is surprised to hear that a girl named Abigail Williams had become the metaphorical Silver Key in an attempt to open a gate for the Outer Gods. When the two first met, Abby was immediately cautious of Mugen, feeling that there was something wrong about her. Mugen was feinting being scared of Abby to make her less intimidating to her as she doesn't want to do anything to her just yet.
    • Third is the Necronomicon, the world's strongest grimoire. While Mugen doesn't necessarily have it herself, she does have the soul of the grimoire, Al Azif, meaning that it doesn't matter who has it as she has authority over who can use it and who can't. Which is good thing, as there are more than one copy of the book.
  • She seemed to have grown affection forwards Discord, as he knows how to use his powers to cause all sort of playful havoc. Discord does try to teach Mugen not to use her powers to bring serious harm to others, though whenever or not this will actually work is in question.
  • While she has promised that she won't use any of the artefacts containing Colours, she doesn't guarantee that any of the other 13 Horrors created from them don't exist anymore. For example, some people have seen a werewolf-like being amongst the Hounds of Tindalos who she speculates to be the remains of the nameless terrorists who was corrupted by their Colour.

  • Enemies: The Lich, GOLB, The Hounds of Tindalos, Pazuzu, Dark Danny, Dark Bakura aka The Spirit of the Millennium Ring, Anton Arcane
  • Pitied by: Ryou Bakura
  • Fears: Grandfather Paradox
  • To understand Fern the Human's deal requires a lot of context and spoilers for the plot. For an abridged explanation? As part of an effort to resurrect Prismo, a paradox was created which turned a time duplicate of Finn into a sword. This Finn Sword was later seriously damaged by the Grass Sword, which was based on a demon and made by a wizard. These two swords eventually merged and birthed a new entity with Finn's memories but somewhat off due to being half-Grass Sword.
  • Fern has issues with Finn as he first thought of himself as Finn, and while diverging into his own person he became more resentful due to his inability to match up with his heroism. The view he was an inferior clone of Finn led him try and Kill and Replace Finn, but ultimately the two found peace with one another by giving up the Grass Demon within him. Unfortunately as it was part of him he died shortly afterwards. In order to maintain his existence in the pantheon the Grass Demon has had to be revived along with Fern, though it is a lot more quiet. Still Fern fears beings like Pazuzu possessing him, due to his experience with said Grass Demon.
  • Recognizing how much of a butt he was being but unable to truly let go his insecurities and issues with being a copy, Fern ascended to the pantheon semi-reformed. His ascension was welcomed by someone who believes he can change "semi-reformed" to "reformed"; Swamp Thing. Asides from the superficial comparisons that they are both grass manipulators made of plants, Swamp Thing has his own history of issues with identity and originality, especially in the Alan Moore run. He's trying to console Fern through his own identity issues, as while Fern has accepted he and Finn are different people sharing memories and personality traits continues to be something he deals with.
  • As a quirk of Fern's ascension he is capable of accessing the Green Knight form again, but it comes with a cost; waking up the Grass Demon and asserting its influence again. Naturally Fern is extremely hesitant in using this form. The one time he did use it was to get some sort of edge against Bizarro, who was causing some mischief. Against Bizarro he still didn't stand a chance, but the shock of his freeze breath reverted him back to his normal form. Being a doppelganger of a hero with some skewed views towards heroism, part of Bizarro was sympathetic to Fern and comforted him by saying "Am not sorry about that, am totally don't think you're a hero". It took a bit to translate what he said but Fern appreciated it and he does see a little bit of himself in Bizarro. Not much, but enough that he wants to see Bizarro prove himself as a hero as well.
  • Him and Metal Sonic aren't allies, given the latter always was and continues to be a villain, however there is some mutual sympathy between the two. He fully understands how sucky it must be to have a crisis of identity and wanting to be someone else. Metal considers himself the true Sonic, and was nice enough to compliment him as "the true Finn". Fern appreciates it, but given his own issues he wishes Metal could resolve his Inferiority Superiority Complex in a more peaceful manner. Mewtwo, having its own "clone complex" albiet not as extreme as either Fern or Metal, sometimes converses with Fern over his feelings.
  • Among other duplicates, Fern is a full-fledged ally to Roboking and the Alter Jeanne d'Arc. The former is less envious of his counterpart and a little bit more heroic than Fern, but the two do relate to each other's inferiority complex. Alter Jeanne is more villainous than Fern or Roboking, but nowadays not that much. She wants to prove herself to her original, but goes about it in a much saner way than Metal Sonic. Another friend of Fern's is Mimikyu, who relates to his angst over not being the "real" Finn as she wants to be just like Pikachu so people will love her.
  • Dark Bakura has made comparisons between himself and Fern, citing they're an amalgamate of a human and demonic entity; he is a merger of the Thief King Bakura and Zorc Necrophades. However both he and Fern are aware there are staunch differences between the two: Fern remained sympathetic even if he became a jerk, while the Thief King was already villainous and becoming Dark Bakura robbed him of whatever humanity he had. More important for Fern is that he died repentant, and Dark Bakura evil to the end. The true Bakura holds a fair bit of sympathy for what Fern went through due to the influence of the Grass Demon
  • One of the reasons Fern was concerned about the similarities he has with Dark Bakura is because he fears that if the Grass Demon continues its influence, he will slowly become almost as evil as him. He doesn't hold those fears when thinking about Dark Danny, since he at least has his humanity while at his conception Dark Danny literally had his humanity ripped out. That and the fact Fern was never Ax-Crazy even at his worst has him "merely" hate him like the Lich. The future ghost simply regarded this as a disappointment since if Fern were to embrace his inner darkness he would've been a good ally.
  • While he doesn't feel comfortable being compared with Dark Bakura or Dark Danny, Fern is fine if people point out the similarities between him and Anakin Skywalker, as there are a fair few he'll admit to; both Fern and Anakin used to be heroic, though had a dark streak. They eventually became evil and took a new identity, but the two eventually died redeeming themselves. While they relate to each other a bit, the two don't find they have enough in common to have friends. The Chosen One will still aid Fern if need be, however; Anton Arcane tried to experiment on Fern as part of his research relating to Swamp Thing, since as already mentioned Fern and Swamp Thing are similar organisms. Vader wasn't having any of it and gave him a Force Choke, though given Arcane's undead nature this was more a deterrent than anything.
  • Some of the more stringent members of the House of Time and Temporality are a bit wary at Fern for being a walking, talking time paradox; the Finn Sword exists because of Finn interfering in earlier self's timeline, causing him to become said sword. The Hounds of Tindalos absolutely despise Fern for that fact, though the majority of deities don't care what they think. Lars, being a time paradox duplicate himself, came to comfort Finn and guide him safely through the house. Though he hasn't angsted about after realizing his true identity, Lars is sympathetic to Fern's identity issues.
  • Still sort of alive in Ooo, if you count "being reincarnated into a tree" as alive. 1000 years into the future he will grow into a massive tree, where future hero Shermynote  will find the Finn Sword perched on top of it. As he was already a walking, talking plant, Fern is something found "soul-searching" with Treebeard; through the House of Prophecy Fern learned of his future and seeks to prepare himself for it. He's also learning to get along better with Finn thanks to learning about Lea; she shared a lot of bad self-esteem problems about being a copy, but eventually got along with her counterpart and found peace in being her own person
  • Fern is one of the confidants of Flowey. He didn't just get along after learning Flowey's private Heel–Face Turn and goal as The Mole of the Grand United Alliance of Destruction, but that his was a story that touched Fern's heart; in his past life he was the kind Asriel, who's rebirth into a flower robbed him of a heart and twisted him. Though Fern still held empathy even at his worst, his own transformation corrupted him and as such he pities the cards fate dealt to him.

    Nero (Star Trek) 
Nero, God of Rebooting The Continuity
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Nero_9422.jpg
Nero: "There is nothing I can do to make up for what I did? I...I actually thought that. I accepted leaving the mortal plane. But then I learned about the House of Time and Temporality, and I realize I was limited. My wife, my unborn child, my entire planet! Thank you Trunks for telling me the mistake I made, for now I have the means to correct it. And neither you nor the Pantheonic Time Police will stop me!"
  • Nero remains vengeful towards Spock and the Federation, but upon his ascension into the pantheon he has a grander ambition; mastery of the House of Time and Temporality so he may not just Ret-Gone the destruction of his world, but negate it from all existing timelines if need be. To do this he has allied with Nox, who from the start was a villain in order to save his family. Together, they hope they can save each other's loved ones. The belief that if he succeeds in his grand endeavor, none of his crimes will have happened has only fueled Nero's self-righteousness to new levels.
  • His grief is comparable to that Gerald Robotnik experienced on the death of Maria, and Shadow before realizing what Maria's last wish really was. Had he still been consumed with grief the once good doctor would've made a valuable ally to Nero's own despair, however he's been behaving for the now ascended Maria's sake. However the Cyborg-Superman and Rau Le Cresuet remain consumed by maddening grief and hatred, and are happy to help Nero so long as he helps them. Of course, he is well aware they have ambitions different from their own but would rather it not become an issue...yet.
  • Red matter is a rather dangerous substance, and has to be properly contained. It being ignited was the cause behind the Narada and Nero himself being swallowed up by a black hole. He is looking to research Sirius' powers so as to refine red matter into a more efficient weapon. Sirius permitted this to a degree, but only because he finds Nero and his technology useful for the time being. He scoffs at Nero's revenge as childish, which he has little right in saying.
  • Nero would naturally be a fit for the Red Lantern Corps, however Atrocitus considers him too unstable for his cause. The rogue Romulan finds this to be unfortunate. More concerning for him is the Green Lantern Corps and other space police that might interfere in his goals. That said as much of a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds he is, he thinks Randall Ross is nuts and his motivation for destroying all of time is utterly absurd. However his access to time portals is something Nero finds very useful. He hopes Randall's time portals will fulfill his new-found goal of mastering the House of Time and Space.
  • While he has the same name as the Roman Emperor and his Distaff Counterpart, alongside the quarter demon, he doesn't have anything in common with them and they all regard him as insane. They even point out how he seeks to prevent genocide on the Romulans with an even greater genocide and wonder how much he really cares about the memory of his people. However at this point he's too far gone to really be reasoned with.
  • "I've been waiting for this day my whole life... This day of reckoning".

  • Alignment: Neutral Good, with Reiji being closer to Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Hot-Blooded, Red Oni, Blue Oni
  • Domains: Gundam, Sports, Friendship
  • Superior: Yoshiyuki Tomino (although he's not involved in Build Fighters; Sei also admires him)
  • Heralds: Rinko and Takeshi Iori (Sei's parents), China Kousaka, Mao Yasaka, Nils Nielsen, Caroline Yajima, Ricardo Fellini and Kirara/Mihoshi (their friends and rivals), Mr. Ral (their mentor, shared with Team TRY Fighters).
  • Allies: All Heroic Gundam Deities (especially Tatsuya Yuuki (with a Friendly Rivalry going on as well), Aila Jyrkiäinen (Reiji's Custom Tsundere, later, his wife), Team TRY Fighters, Amuro Ray, Setsuna F. Seiei, Domon Kasshu, Kira Yamato, Ryuko Matoi, Mako Mankanshoku, Simon the Digger, Raleigh Becket and Mako Mori, Kouta Kazuraba, Naruto Uzumaki, Excel, Chihiro Kosaka, Rana Linchen
  • Enemies (half of them moreso in Reiji's case): Kogane, Jervis Tetch, Yuri, Anyone who threatens women, Griffith, Ragyo Kiryuin, Arthas Menethil, Prince Hans, The GUAE Mecha Cohort (Ali Al-Saachez and Rau Le Creuset in particular), Ryoma Sengoku, Handsome Jack, Skull Face, Darth Nihilus
  • When you think of the word Gundam, you think of mecha battles, political intrigue, and worlds where it would be safe to say that life sucks living there most of the time. Also there are numerous timelines with their own pilots and mecha. In the timeline where these two originate from, Gundam is a work of fiction and Gunpla (Gundam translated as a figurine) battles are a thing. Sei Iori is a skilled Gunpla builder and when he encounters the unusual Reiji, the two decide to take the world of Gunpla battles by storm, meeting a slew of contestants along the way. Living in that timeline actually doesn't suck compared to most other ones.
    • That particular timeline is known as Anno Domini (or A.D). And before you ask, no. Other than having Gundams involved, it has nothing to do with that other A.D. timeline.
  • Aside from these two and their successor's Team TRY Fighters, there was another group of kids who have gotten into Gunpla battles. It can be argued they probably didn't exist in the same timeline as them, but then again, both Sei & Reiji (and the TRY Fighters by extension) were more active in the Gunpla-battling endeavor.
  • Sei has found the House of Craft to be the perfect place within the Pantheon to help spread the art of Gunpla battles. Classes have opened up there, as well as the School house, for other deities to try out building Gunpla and battling with them, with Rana Linchen often attending these classes. Serious Gunpla competition would sometimes take place in the Sports zone.
    • The Gunpla battles that occur in the Pantheon utilize both the 3-on-3 battles that Team TRY Fighters followed and the previous battle types that were featured in Sei & Reiji's Gunpla run. For the 3-on-3 battles, Aila has thought about joining Sei & Reiji's team for these occasions.
  • Even though they aren't victims of mind control, both Sei and Reiji have a noticeable dislike towards villainous deities who specialize in mind control given what had happened to both Aila and Meijin when the duo fought them at separate rounds at the tournament. There's a stronger dislike in regards to Jervis Tetch and Yuri since the devices that Sei & Reiji noticed on Aila and Meijin during the tournament look like items that either Jervis or Yuri could have designed.
  • Reiji is praised as one of the few Gundam protagonists to ever save their Newtype lover (or at least someone that is as close to a Newtype as one can get from his timeline) from a terrible fate. When asked about this, Reiji just shrugged.
  • The Arian prince is a frequent visitor to the House of Food and likes to check out the offerings that are present there. The first time he visited that place, he saw Aila there, and was left in awe. They both proceeded to bicker at each other, though Aila seemed to enjoy the argument more. Every god within the House of Food had a major league WTF reaction to their argument.
  • As the prince of Arian, Reiji decided to see what some of the other princes in the Pantheon were like. Unfortunately, there were some evil princes that he found and did not take it well. Reiji notably hates Prince Hans quite a bit over using a girl to achieve a selfish goal.
  • Since one of the main obstacles of their journey was a company chairman that was willing to use underhanded tactics to ensure their defeat, Sei & Reiji are not fond of corrupt company leaders who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their selfish goals. The two also dislike those who play unfairly and have made sure that these kinds of instances never happen in a Gunpla battle.
  • Ryoma Sengoku has earned a considerable amount of ire from both Sei & Reiji (the latter moreso) given how he takes a look at information and uses that for villainous means.
  • In what shouldn't be considered a surprise given his interests, Sei freaked out that when he learned that the Gundam pilots from the animés were real here. He fanboyed so much that Bright Noa had to slap him, but it turned out to be a bad idea because it only made him fanboy harder. Thus was recorded an extremely rare instance of when the infamous Bright Slap failed.
    • Of course, this also meant that a number of the various Gundam villains in the shows that Sei has watched also exist in the Pantheon. The most that he and Reiji can do at the moment is to keep their distance from the baddies.
  • The two have come to learn of other mecha pilots that didn't originate from Gundam after Sei heard about some events that some Gundam pilots got involved with (him and Reiji aren't likely to get directly involved with these at the moment). Naturally, they (Sei moreso given that he's the Gundam fanboy) have gotten along with these additional mecha heroes.
    • One non-Gundam mecha pilot that Sei & Reiji get along with is Simon the Digger, due to the latter's Hot-Blooded energy whenever he takes control of his mecha. Both Sei and Simon can relate to how they were able to become more badass in their respective adventures (though comparing the scale of Simon's to that of Sei's is like saying skyscraper-tall robots are bigger than teddy bears).
  • Sei was in for quite a surprise upon learning that the man responsible for bringing Gundam to life, Yoshiyuki Tomino, had a spot in the Pantheon. Although Tomino doesn't have a whole lot to say about Sei & Reiji, Sei is quite thankful for Tomino's work (even if these works can get very dark compared to Sei & Reiji's adventures) and if it weren't for Tomino, who knows if Gundam would actually be a thing (or even a word).
  • Due to their interest in a sport (though Gunpla battles aren't really considered a traditional sport), Sei & Reiji have been targeted by Kogane. Luckily for the duo, Kouta Kazuraba is serving as something of a bodyguard for Sei & Reiji whenever Kogane is on the offensive. Kouta and Sei & Reiji all respect each other for their determination in achieving their respective dreams.
  • Even though he's already in a relationship with Aila, Reiji being quite friendly towards Sei has gotten a few deities shipping the two with each other. Sei's attitude towards Reiji at times can be further evidence of the pairing thing.
  • Given how much of a Serious Business Gunpla battles have been amongst those who partake in it, the activity has been seen by others falling under E-Sports. Regardless of where Gunpla falls under, both Sei & Reiji are thankful for the fact that Gunpla battles are picking up popularity in the Pantheon.

  • While he may seem a mellow and successful businessman on the outside, Donald Love is anything but a good person. Having started as Avery Carrington's protegé in the 80s, Love established Love Media in Liberty City and pursued a career in politics to become major, using underhanded tactics like assassinating the then-current mayor, commiting fraud and even getting innocent caught in gang wars, ultimately losing the battle after people caught up to his connections with the Leone family. After getting his revenge on those that wronged him, years later, his company and him resurfaced around 2001, becoming one of the biggest people in Liberty City. Having met Claude thanks to a contact of his in LCPD, Love tasked Claude with a few missions involving gang wars and mysterious packages, even making him act as a decoy for his associate to escape. After succeeding, Claude returned to Love's penthouse but he was nowhere to be seen and his fate was left unresolved...until now.
  • Donald Love formally entered by bribing his way in, having learned that the Court of Gods does indeed have some members that are willing to work on his conditions and so he was allowed a very respectable temple modeled after his penthouse in liberty city. Given the mysterious circumstances behind his disappearance, Love was given a title reflecting that. Whatever happened to him hasn't been elaborated by the man himself but one thing is certain, it doesn't mean good things for the pantheon.
  • Notably one of the few employers that never attempted to double-cross Claude, even though there was a chance he would have, but that never happened. Claude is alright with working for him again since he does pay very well, but hopefully this time he doesn't use him as a decoy again.
  • One of his favourite activities is to instigate Gang Warfare so the real state prices go down, something he learned from his mentor, Avery Carrington. He infamously got Yakuza leader Kenji Kasen killed by a Colombian Cartel strike (actually Claude in disguise) to instigate conflict between both factions. Certain ascenders members of each group, as well other unrelated gangs, have taken notice of this practice and have tried to go after Love in retaliation.
    • Kazuma Kiryu and his partner Goro Majima have personally visited and beaten the crap out of Love and his security as a warning that if he tried this again, they wouldn't be as lenient and kill him. Donald Love, enraged about this assault, has sworn that he would make both men pay with their lives.
    • He also ended up being a target for Giorno Giovanna and his friends for trying to create a beef with his gang and the other mafias. This may stem from Love's connection to Polpo, who he met one day after trying to recruit the man for his company. Both share a hedonistic lifestyle but Polpo is only interested in a casual business relationship and nothing more, with his boss Diavolo having no interest in Love whatsoever.
  • In the search of new potential partners, he came across an old face in Tommy Vercetti, having encountered the man back when he was still learning under Avery Carrington. Tommy was surprised to learn of Donald's evolution and how he ended up icing old man Carrington back in Liberty City. Vercetti and Love later ended up agreeing to work together and for Tommy's crew to protect Love from any future intrusion by any third party
    • He also ended up meeting Dimitri Rascalov, the Russian mobster pulled some strings to convince Love for a partnership. Donald is aware of Dimitri's notorious betrayal record and so he has kept an eye on him but given the fact that the Mafiya could allow him to expand his influence in the house of Crime and Transgressions, he ended up accepting. This created the unfortunate consequence of getting on Niko Bellic's shitlist, since besides the fact that he is working with Dimitri, Niko also has a lot bad memories about power-hungry businessmen like Donald Love.
  • Him and Patrick Bateman hit it off instantly. Both highly successful businessmen with a sociopathic streak and not strangers to murder, that and possibly that both men are Karma Houdinies. A partnership began the moment they met and Bateman tend to visit Love and hang out with his and his old Asian friend, frequently talking about their wealth. Outside of business, Patrick usually likes to hides the victims he murders in Love's temple, since the latter likes to use them for his "Morgue Parties" or just to feast on them.
  • Unknown to many, Love likes to eat human meat, usually comparing to raw chicken. He is also said to be a necrophiliac, which instantly made him a persona non grata for the House of Undead and Phasmata. This depraved behavior instantly caught the attention of Lionel Starkweather, a powerful man like Love would be an excellent backer for his films, which Love approved the moment he found out, possibly out of his hidden sadistic nature.
  • Being part of a Vice City (Well, not the actual Vice City but he's been there), Donald Love and Ethan Roark Sr. had similar goals and interests, so both ended up becoming allies and Roark even suggested that Love could become the mayor of Liberty City again if he had Roark backing him up. Love is also depraved enough to get along with Roark Jr., often using him as an enforcer and even inviting him to his Morgue Parties.
  • He is acquiantanced with another Serial Killer, this time being Hannibal Lecter. Both men being notorious cannibals, he finds that Lecter is a outstanding chef and his dishes have been the best he has tasted. That and he is trying to protect him from the pantheon authorities however he can.
  • Given his surname, Love-themed heroes and Love Freaks despise him for being a Corrupt Corporate Executive and being nothing but a depraved human being. Love just chuckled at their remarks, feeling that they focus on arbitrary things and are getting angry for nothing.
  • No, he is not related to Donald Trump.
