Herein is the vile House of Villainy, rebuilt after eons past. The goals of these deities are destruction and the domination of all existence, seeking to impose their own order upon the multiverse. Although, it should be noted that not all the occupants of this House are totally evil. This house was founded when several of the heroes such as Superman and Spider-Man decided they wanted to resplit the House of Heroism and Villainy after the endless war had worn them all down for too long. While many of the Elder Gods were uneasy at the thought of another Hero/Villain house split after the first experiment, the case eventually went all the way to the Court of The Gods, where a very tired and irritated Johnson ordered the house to split up because "All that noise makes sleeping very difficult for the rest of us! I tolerate the House of Beasts and Fauna out of necessity but split the others up for now. Let them scheme in their own houses." Jean-Luc Picard facepalmed at this utterly arbitrary decision, but as Jack McCoy was leading the case, tired of having the lawless look over his notes, the decision passed with surprisingly little argument. The only dissenter was Harvey Dent, but after flipping a coin, he ultimately decided for it too, though it does create the awkward situation of him needed to drag himself between houses depending on his coin flip on who he was going to visit on-off time.

Melkor often resides here to plan with his horde on how they might take down the other houses before long. His temple which is mostly empty instead holds the central portal to the headquarters of the Grand United Alliance of Evil, which many villains use. Most of the resident villains admit that though keeping each other's company is difficult, this is something they'll need to deal with if they're ever going to crush those pathetic heroes under their boots.

Ever since the ascension of Crow, there has been a new wing to the house called the "Villain's Museum" for the purpose of celebrating all the victories that fellow villains achieved.

The only thing they have in common with the House of Heroism is their shared opposition of The Anti-Monitor.

Conflicting Opinion: Satan (Castlevania)
Ambiguous Relationship with: Krona the Mad Guardian
Once the greatest of the Ainur, Melkor was not content with following the sacred designs of his creator Eru Ilúvatar and instead sought to create his tunes of discord and darkness. This initial act of rebellion sparked the evil within him and afterward sought to remake Ilúvatar’s world in his unholy image then destroy it all in the end. Branded as Morgoth, the First Dark Lord, the Great Enemy of Arda, and the God of Evil, he did whatever he could to take over all of creation. That is until he was captured and thrown into the Void beyond Arda where he could no longer do any harm until his prophesized return in the second Dagor Dagorath. While Melkor's Evil lingers across all of Arda, his physical return would have been something to worry about much later — until his ascension that is. By the power vested in the Pantheon, Melkor was broken free of his prison and given a position for historical purposes. Free from the rules of Arda, Melkor finally realized that he could expand his plan to take over all of the existence beyond the realm of Arda but knew that he needed much more help upon seeing the greater omniverse that even now eludes him. Gathering all the baddies who were willing to work with him, he formed the Grand United Alliance of Evil. As a response to that, the Grand United Alliance of Good was formed, so needless to say Melkor has his work cut out for him.
Is not particularly happy that the Court of the Gods is ensuring that he does not return to Arda much earlier than he should, or invade other universes while he is here. Melkor plans to overthrow them eventually but while he’s an Overdeity, many can outmatch or outnumber him when it comes to power. Knowing this, he sits on his throne giving orders instead of being proactive all in the belief that an opportunity will come for him to enact his plans.
Despises that his brother Manwë and even worse, Eru himself are in the Pantheon watching his every move. The merciful Manwë just wants Melkor to cease his villainous tyranny but is forced to act against him as one of the GUAG’s leaders. Eru while very disapproving of everything Melkor has done does not think Divine Intervention is a suitable punishment for his former Ainur and sits out of the entire conflict. Melkor does not want any of their mercy or pity, as all he wants is to destroy both of them once he desolates the creations that they love so dear.
Loves being credited for influencing all intentionally-evil villains at least after the middle of the twentieth century and being the source of all evil itself. That is undeniably true in Arda through to the rest of the omniverse, that might be stretching it. It’s noted Melkor does understand ideas such as The Dark Side more than most, which gives credit to his claim though it is still just a claim by all accounts. He means to use the armies of the GUAE to conquer as many realms as possible and bring all the misery he can through slavery, genocide, famine, mass rape, et cetera. As long as it is considered evil, Melkor will do everything in his power to make sure everyone feels the evil he spreads.
- Once faced a specific issue multiple times where the people of some realms his armies conquered love all the evil he has done to them, something both amusing and odd to Melkor. He decreed that they be put to work to help in later conquests but he could not get them to move since they did enjoy their suffering. So Melkor made the most logical move: create a utopia where all his minions are kind to them and all their needs are provided for with nothing bad ever happening. That got them moving to join his ranks pretty quickly. He hated doing that but seeing all their misery made him relish it in the end.
- While he purports himself as the origin of all evil in creation, he never considered the idea of evil beings before creation. Amatsu-Mikaboshi, The Lich, and Orgalorg are beings that lived in the Primordial Chaos before space-time began, so Melkor is unable to say anything about them. The only explanation he can provide is that these guys aren’t truly evil since they don’t see themselves as evil and this is just how most beings before creation acted. Somehow... that makes a lot more sense than it should.
Proud of his name as Morgoth as it inspires fear and dread to those who hear it. The name Melkor more or less reminds him of when he was an Ainur, which he utterly detests. For some odd reason Melkor’s birth name is regularly used even by his subordinates, likely because they know he dislikes reminders of his past and wants to mock him for it. He isn’t so bothered by it nowadays but forces anyone within earshot to address him as Morgoth. A foot to your everything is prepared whenever someone says Melkor near him.
Almost everyone in the GUAE joined him out of necessity than actual loyalty to him. Even those who like how Melkor rolls are just there for their purposes. Melkor knew this when creating the Alliance, so he isn’t too surprised. However, that is not stopping him from stamping out traitors. All he asks for in the end is everyone’s cooperation when it comes to serving the overall cause. He is certain he’ll get his revenge one day once he wins by killing most of them and absorbing his loyalists as a reward.
- Is aware that there are plenty in his ranks who are more deplorable than he’d like but keeps them around because they’re indispensable (hence why many of his even more treacherous and nicer members are under Teeth-Clenched Teamwork). He does not discriminate against anybody as long as they’re willing to commit horrendous acts towards others and can tolerate the Crapsack World the GUAE aims to build. Anybody who isn’t with him (or at least publicly with him) or doing anything that’s not evil can get out of his face.
Sauron was once The Dragon to him long ago after Melkor had tempted him from being The Blacksmith of the Maiar to his Number Two in conquest. However, after putting up with all the Idiot Balls Melkor had, getting mocked for being beaten by a few Hobbits and seeing Melkor favor Voldemort over him for the leadership of the GUAE Malum Magia, Sauron had enough and joined under Darkseid, knowing he will be appreciated there. Sauron even publicly denounced Melkor, calling him a cowardly fool who he hopes will be returned to the Void to whence he belongs. Melkor’s rage upon hearing that was akin to millions of volcanoes erupting, in utter disbelief that his best and most trusted general would betray him just like that after everything he had done for Sauron. Then again, Sauron did learn from the best when it comes to stuff like this. He swore Darkseid and Sauron would rue the day they dared to oppose him.
Never met Cosmos until she was elected leader by the GUAG. If he did meet her before, she would have one of his prime mortal enemies since Cosmos is able to juggle so many people from different backgrounds to fight primarily against him (initially). He has noticed some of the ridiculously strong deities that have sided with her, and he ups the security of his base of operations with each new addition. Melkor wants to keep and gain new members for himself in turn and while he was able to snag new ones, they pale in comparison to what Cosmos has. Maybe the Bad Boss reputation his entire Alliance has is what’s keeping potential recruits away.
Formed the Four Horsemen as the guardians of the House of Villains along with three others he was especially impressed by who is willing to serve his cause. Griffith, who represents the corruption of heroes, Johan Liebert who can break the will of others, and Majin Buu for wanting to destroy anyone and everything. Melkor gets along with Griffith and Johan well enough but he has spent fortunes on candy to keep Nekron from snagging Majin Buu from him, forcing them to share the pink powerhouse as their candy-buying spree worsens. The Ebon Dragon was once part of his Horsemen but when the Ebon Dragon was ejected from the Pantheon, Melkor replaced him and never looked back. Now that the Ebon Dragon has returned, he is pissed that he was forgotten and wants to get back at Melkor for it.
Melkor’s influence and power directly correlate to how frequently evil is committed in one universe (hence being a Cardinal Alignment). If Melkor ended up in Teletubbies, he’d become incredibly weak while if he ended up in a place like Cyberpunk, he’d be akin to his prime. If Melkor were to end up in a place like the realm of the Elder Gods where evil and good aren’t present and just “is”, he’d be impotent since the idea of evil as a force does not exist there. In the Pantheon proper, he’s in the same state he was when the first Dagor Bragollach occurred, like the Pantheon’s idealistic nature is being slowly dimmed thanks to the Forever War escalating and the The Internet and mass media itself becoming more cynical. Every second of the growing cynicism allows him to feed off the resulting negativity.
An incident he does not like to be reminded of is almost getting Eaten Alive by Ungoliant, which would have potentially ended him right here and then. His relationship with Ungoliant is unknown as Melkor has no influence on her in the slightest. While Ungoliant is evil in a traditional sense, it can be speculated that she was doing what all spiders do: feeding on her prey. Then again, killing Melkor off can hardly be called an evil action.
His claims to be the origin of evil conflict with Krona’s existence, in how the Mad Guardian tampered with the beginning of existence and created evil. This led to a theory that Krona triggered Melkor’s Face–Heel Turn, being the source of the music that triggered his Start of Darkness. Krona is insulted by this; all he did was look at how everything came to be and if he did create Melkor, it was purely an accident. Melkor has provided no comment on the matter, likely out of Pride. Given the timey-wimey experiment Krona was doing, it might be a lot more accurate to say Melkor and Krona were behind each other. Whichever deity proposed this theory, many say they forgot that Melkor and Krona are of different multiverses and likely could not influence the rise of evil in each other's realms.
May or may not have created Aku since the blob is Made of Evil. Aku would like to state that HE IS AKU and the notion that he was created by someone is completely incomprehensible to him. Similarly, both the Idea of Evil and Nyarlathotep are evil incarnate but were birthed by the evils of man instead of being the source of it. Melkor has learned that if he wants to keep his allies close, he has to prey upon and appeal to their egos so they won’t make the effort to form splinter groups opposing him.
His nature as an evil-composed being makes him vulnerable to good-based auras and attacks, though because of his strength it requires a lot of it. This, combined with her ability to force compassion on others, makes Iroque and the Indigo Light Melkor’s Kryptonite Factor. Having diffused so much of his being into evil, his physical body is weakened to the point he's a Greater God in her presence, an Intermediate God if she forces an Indigo Lantern ring on him (though his evil is too great to brainwash away) and a Demigod under the Avatar of Compassion, the Proselyte. Zordon is another problem here since the wave of good energy from his Heroic Sacrifice destroyed/purified the smaller United Alliance Of Evil. He does not want such a thing happening to his own GUA.
One of his most infamous actions was the theft of the Silmarils, which were then in Arda the only source of everyday things like the sun and the moon. Nightmare Moon granted Melkor permission to take the moon and bring everlasting darkness... if he got the sun first. Melkor wants to slay Amaterasu and relive the moment that gives him so much joy, though considering Amaterasu’s strength, he questions if he’ll be able to succeed. Melkor claims he wants to take the moon and the sun so that he’ll be able to take everything that seems like fun.
He was able to deflect a Spirit Bomb from Son Goku in a Noodle Incident, due to being pure (evil). His true concern over the Saiyans is if he and Vegeta fuse into Gogeta; his signature technique of the Stardust Breaker disintegrates all evil, so Melkor would be dissolved into nothingness if that hit him.
Many regard Melkor's backstory and portfolio as being remarkably similar to the well-known tale of Archangel Lucifer, better known as Satan or The Devil. It is believed by most that he is none other than the Devil himself. The Beast disagrees, stating that he is the true Devil and influenced Melkor. Lucifer (and many of his deified counterparts) thinks they're both full of shit.
The Golden Spider has pissed off Melkor by claiming to be Above Good and Evil. The Golden Spider reasons that he is a Creator of Life, much like Eru, who was the one who created Melkor, meaning that Melkor is below him. Understandably, this turned many heads, considering the Golden Spider called such a thing into question. Given his previous experience with Ungoliant, Melkor might have arachnophobia.
Created the dragons of his world, so that tidbit comes in conflict with Io’s existence as the progenitor of all of dragonkind. Io also disagrees with Melkor’s statement, stating that all of his children, even the ones Melkor made belong to him. It’s odd to see a custody battle over who can raise dragons come into play but Io is the winner since he could probably eat Melkor if he wanted to.
- Though J.R.R. Tolkien is a superior of sorts for Melkor, the Dark Enemy argues otherwise, as he passed before his tale could be finished. Tolkien is still recognized as his superior by most, as he's still behind the tales of Middle-earth and the story was completed by his son but one day, he’ll crush his creator to prove that he is beyond any being and bows to no one.
Was GREATLY affected by how the Great Upheaval went down and not in a good way. Not only was he upstaged by YHVH and Lucifer, but many of his subordinates defected to their sides and later formed their own Grand United Alliances, not to mention that the price of his Internet^noteMelkor learned how to use modern technology surprisingly fast had been raised. With his reputation as God of Evil under threat, Melkor was heard grumbling after hearing the news that "Law and Chaos are nothing compared to the merciless, annihilating power of True Evil, I shall teach them all that...''
- Swore to get back at the two for what they did to him. Melkor's ranting earthquake-like voice, full of absolute malice and insanity, echoed and boomed across every House and Temple as he screamed forth a terrible vow: ^note
- The Great Will yawned and responded: ^note
- Lucifer's response was considerably more succinct: ^note"Inside voices, children."
Hates, hates, HATES the Houses of Craft and Music for representing his downfall. As much as Melkor wants to create, his Creative Sterility prevents him from being the Creator God he so desires to be. These Houses remind Melkor of these flaws and he wants to purge both so that only he can create. Melkor tried desecrating the House of Craft but ran into Destruction of the Endless before even starting, and got the tar beaten out of him, making the former Ainur beg for mercy. Destruction let him off with a warning that if he were to go after the House of Craft again or the House of Music too, he won’t hold back next time. Melkor has ceased all attempts to destroy any of these Houses until he has prepared sufficiently to counter Destruction.
Is fearful of Superman for having taken out Darkseid with music. He’s also completely terrified of Ghost Rider since his Death Glare would destroy Melkor’s mind. Anyone who can likely kill him quickly is people the Great Enemy steers clear of, like the ever so infamous Kirby and the one-punch killer himself Saitama.
Nekron and Melkor are not so different in regards to wanting to end existence but remain enemies despite sharing many traits, as Melkor thinks that only he has the right to destroy reality while Nekron just wants to skip the whole dystopia Melkor wants and get straight to the apocalypse. This is also felt between the Anti-Monitor and Melkor in which the latter isn’t okay with being erased from existence to make way for nothingness.
Detests the idea of being represented as a misunderstood figure shockingly enough as he thinks it undermines his status as the God of Evil as it was originally written, even though it gained him a legion of fans who think that he was wronged by Eru. While Melkor likes the idea of people thinking Eru is a tyrant and his rebellion is a good thing, the truth remains that after manifesting on Arda he attempted to bring an age of darkness over the world merely to spite his Maker.
Named Dark Specter as his new second-in-command after Sauron’s defection, as Dark Specter has run a universe-spanning alliance before. Melkor sometimes even finds him more reliable than Sauron ever was and after the Demonic Legion was purged for not complying with new Pantheon rules, Dark Specter found a place by Melkor’s side. After all, Melkor managed to get him a godly title despite it being a rather embarrassing one.
Thought Malekith and Archaon would be perfect for his Alliance but both refused viciously as the Four Chaos Gods serve under Melkor, and as everyone knows they have some really bad beef with those four. Thanks to having them as part of his closest council, both Evil Overlords are targeting the GUAE, dwindling even more of Melkor’s influence. Melkor asked why did his allies have to be so hard to be associated with.
He was supposed to have a son, but that never came to be (that son was made into Gothmog, his Lord of the Balrogs). Interested in the idea of a successor, he went to where all things of What Could Have Been go: Retconnia. He requested Malal to release his son but Malal refused, as Melkor is friends with the Chaos Gods who abandoned him there. Irked by his protests, Malal threatened to have Melkor dragged into Retconnia as well if he even thought of staging a prison break for someone Malal isn’t even sure is there. Melkor backed off but swore Malal would regret his rejection.
“But he that sows lies in the end shall not lack of a harvest, and soon he may rest from toil indeed, while others reap and sow in his stead.”

The Four Horsemen

They serve as Melkor's inner circle, and the highest-ranking members of the Grand United Alliance of Evil unofficially.

The Antichrist; the very being who would herald the Day of Judgement, the Second Coming of Jesus and the eventual end of the world. To everyone's surprise, the exact, perfect antithesis of Jesus Christ... happens to be an ordinary little boy... at first. He would soon accept his role in heralding Satan's rule over the world and orchestrate the deaths of anybody who got close to revealing his identity, even his own parents. His destiny being his greatest priority above all else, the child would grow up to become a strong influence, becoming the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom and fronting an Industry... all whilst creating a secret Satanic cult in his future creation of his worldly vision. Damien Thorn is the bringer of the Eschatology, and he will stop at nothing to prevent the written victory of Jesus and God.
Damien met Melkor, who was impressed by his foul deeds and his destiny as The Antichrist. Damien felt confused at first, trying to imagine if Melkor was Satan, before realizing there were different incarnations of the latter in this new world. Melkor already had figures that were similar, but knew there was something unique in Damien, hence he quelled him into his alliance. Damien accepted, sharing Melkor's vision of sowing the world in discord, misery and destruction. He also found himself a great acquaintance in Griffith, who also saw Damien's leadership and charismatic persona as an excellent tool of manipulation and depravity.
While most people are familiar with Damien as a child, its not exactly the case for him as an adult. Then again, Damien ascended in his child-like state, which Melkor finds rather amusing in that one of the ultimate evils in the Pantheon is (currently) a little boy. Despite this, the God of Evil has actually met Damien as an adult at some points. Whether Damien has shapeshifting powers that he learned in the Pantheon is a mystery for now, but the Anti-Christ appears either in child or adult forms depending on certain situations (Wanting to traverse publicly, scaring off people or running his business and Satanic organization).
- His adult form also brings up some controversy given some can mistake Damien for Alan Grant, which is certainly the kind of deceit the Anti-Christ would want to pull. In any case, he prefers not to change his form when dinosaurs might be involved.
Surprisingly gets along with Johan Liebert as both of them are cold, calculating and sociopathic in nature. Both of them express some kind of curiosity and interest in the sense that both of them are considered Antichrists, though Johan is metaphorical (or a true one) whereas Damien is literally that. Despite this, Johan has no qualms of backstabbing and eliminating Damien once he runs out of any aid or support, though Damien can only be harmed by holy weapons, which is something most evil-aligned deities, Johan included, couldn't possess.
While its little surprise he is the son of Satan what is rather irking is that Damien was conceived from a jackal. Damien has been seen under good company with the Beasts of Chaos, especially Gorthor who would do anything to please and spread Damien's influence. It also helps that Damien is favored by the Chaos Gods, Tzeentch in particular.
Don't be fooled by his innocent appearance as a child; the moment anyone gets close to revealing his true nature, its only a matter of time before they are brutally killed off, either by some kind of supernatural force, his followers or by his pack of dogs. These traits made Damien incredibly feared throughout the Pantheon, which to everyone's horror, immediately was warmly received by Melkor, whom the Anti-Christ had now decided to become his personal prophet for.
- As the offspring of Satan (At least in his world), Damien is in good graces with the several incarnations of Satan residing in the Pantheon. One of his main goals is to free the imprisonment Dis is encapsulated in, which he will stop nothing at to achieve. The Beast and a Satan favoring Hell over Heaven have immediately given their support of Damien and his position to tear the world asunder for their own gains. Its only a matter of time before Damien would face extreme opposition due to his allegiance and actions.
Damien is aware of his divinity ranking as a Demigod, but the Pantheon are so fearful of him they treat him like an Overdeity (Normally, he would be a Greater God level threat, but being the Anti-Christ is a different story). Furthering his reputation is Damien's leadership and charisma which manages to win over all but the biggest of pure good hearted. Damien's political and industrial knowledge has also granted him a degree of influence in many fields and the Disciples of the Watch has benefited in spreading further discord.
Will often try to amuse himself by causing brutal acts via his followers and using his childlike appearance to lead a lot of residents astray and off-guard. The Joker has taken a liking to this, as does Yuuki Terumi and Junko Enoshima, who think Damien is among the best individuals to lead others into unsuspecting misery and pain. Damien does get along with them, but would rather spend his time with Melkor and the other leading GUAE members, thinking his position is too important to spend too much time with the three. Joker, Terumi and Junko are currently thinking of a way to spend more time with Damien.
Damien is HATED by numerous deities, and its a benchmark in its own right. With the exception of those who are evil, every child stays their distance from him, given the fact that he tried to kill any newborn boys when he approached the Day of Judgement, in addition to anyone basically dying if they got too close to him. The Nippon Ichi demons are disgusted by the fact that Damien would rape his victims solely for sadistic pleasure. The House of Family have banned him from even appearing a mile away from the entrance considering he had his adopted parents and siblings killed just to ensure he would carry out his destiny. Damien however takes this in stride, stating that he doesn't really care about his reputation so as long as the Pantheon is bought down to ruin and agony.
- He does however find company under Rhoda Penmark as she too, is a sociopathic child hellbent on killing and spreading misery. Damien has since made her an honorary member of the Disciples of the Watch, thinking that Rhoda would be an effective example of subverting expectations of children being pure and innocent.
Melkor decided to simply send Damien to several houses in an attempt to amuse himself. The amount of people who got close to being killed was staggering, and per usual, Damien was able to get away with it. Melkor laughed so hard at the prospect of Damien causing such a havoc that he immediately named him one of his closest companions. Although he was unable to fill out a position of the Four Horsemen, Melkor settled for making Damien his personal messenger, the Prophet of the Grand United Alliance of Evil.
- With his newfound position in the GUAE Mastermind, Damien is able to assert control over most of the GUAE, albeit with a lesser extent than Melkor could. Beastmen, Orcs, Apostles, most evil races would pay their respects to Damien given his unholy destiny. The Godhand are pleased of what Damien is capable of, and have even offered him a chance to become an Apostle. Damien declined, though he did respect their gesture.
Learning about numerous variations of Satan, Damien has made an effort to try uniting them against the Grand United Alliance of Good. He was able to make contact and become confidants with two versions of Satan. However, he was annoyed with the current situation Dis was in. Damien is since trying to formulate a plan with Melkor and the other two Satans to try freeing Dis from his eternal imprisonment. Problem is, they'd have to be going up against The Love that Moves the Stars for that matter. This isn't going to stop the four of them anytime soon though...
- Regarding analogies to Satan, Diablo has been a big fan of what Damien is capable of, citing his spread of panic and chaos as incredible, even by other villain standards. A similar sentiment came from Molag Bal who feels that Damien is a prime example of ultimate evil and Mephisto who sees him as a worthy ally for his own uses.
Surprisingly, Damien has nothing but utter contempt for Angra Mainyu, thinking he is too frail and pathetic to consider himself a Satanic Archetype and really doesn't sit well with the idea that Angra Mainyu is destined to fail at every opportunity he rebels against Ahura Mazda, whom Damien also hates. He also dislikes Archaon the Everchosen for being a whiny brat regarding the Chaos Gods and finds it hilarious that all his efforts to destroy his world were all for naught as the Chaos Gods still benefited anyway. Archaon simply sees Damien as another enemy, given he is allies with the Chaos Gods at this point, with Archaon now allied to Darkseid out of spite and a chance of rebellion. However, a lot of deities have pointed out that Damien is trying to free someone who has already lost and and is working with someone who is destined to lose. These comments infuriate Damien to no end, given how he actually wants to defy this and ensure Melkor wins. He'll be making sure his hellhounds find and maul whatever idiot has tried to question his motives and logic.
He has two children, Delia and Alexander, the former a vessel for the Anti-Christ and the latter being Damien's true successor. Damien felt amused that despite his death, his legacy would carry on, although what happened to Delia and Alexander was never shown further. Now with his children as his heralds, Damien is doing his best to instill as much depravity and lack of morality as possible.
Was initially interested in Mandy for managing to get her version of the Grim Reaper under her heel, but found her to be nothing more but an insignifcant imitator of her. Mandy herself, felt Terror greater then anything else in her life when near him, proving his point.

"My followers have been slaughtering your children around the world, and you have not lifted a finger to save them"

He and Link have done battle many, many times. However, no matter how many times Link kills him, Ganondorf continues to return to oppose him. Though some have speculated it has to do with Time Travel and his standing as Link's archnemesis, no one knows how he does this. He's gotten smarter in later years and has fought Link through a network of allies and minions to conceal the fact he's still alive, but it hasn't resulted in much more success than when he did it himself.
Some have prophesied that when the final battle of Good and Evil is almost done, Ganondorf will rise from Melkor's ashes and reveal Melkor was an alter-ego of his, and he's been the controlling force of the House of Evil all along. Though few pay this theory any mind, Link fully expects it.
Has once stated that he and Captain Falcon are more similar than the Pantheon thinks.
There was a short time where it was debated if Ganon should keep his position after it was learned that he's merely the incarnation of the hatred of a being even greater than himself: Demise. Ultimately it was decided he would remain a god as his predecessor is dead for good.
With Zelda's arrival into the Pantheon, Ganondorf has redirected a portion of the GUAE's efforts into capturing her. Drawing her and Link together, Ganondorf hopes to again claim the power of the Triforce, which he believes could even overrule the collective power of the Main House. Whether this claim is true or not, no one is willing to find out.
Is actually opposed to the House of Crime and Transgressions, due to his people the Gerudo worshiping members of the House rather than worshipping him.
His alliance with Eggman and Bowser has the potential to draw out the fullest potential of science, magic, and brute strength within the GUAE's ranks, making this Power Trio a high target on the GUAG's agenda.
As the protectors of Hyrule have continued to grow stronger within the Pantheon and threatened to completely overwhelm him, Ganondorf put his faith in Ghirahim's magic studies, and has been granted even greater power and form.
Currently trying to figure out how to handle the legion of fangirls drawn to him by his new appearance since the ritual. While a bit flabbergasted at first, the King of Evil simply laughed and decided to weed out the worthiest of them to turn into a new society of Gerudo thieves, since his own stopped worshipping him.
Doctor Fate, believing him to be a reincarnation of Wotan, his eternal enemy, foiled one of Ganondorf's attempts to kidnap Zelda. Since then, Fate has been a continual thorn in his side, surpassed only by Link, his eternal enemy.
Where his own version of Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch might not be as powerful, he is shown with his Warlock Punch that he is a force to be reckoned with even without magic. Observe.
One of his alternate weapons are two giant 8-Bit dungeon boss keys... which disturbingly look like serrated Keyblades. The good KH deities look worried, while Master Xehanort and Vanitas reacted with raised eyebrows.
As of his latest incarnation, Ganondorf seems to have given up his humanity in exchange for raw power, becoming an abomination of (literally) pure Malice, known as the Calamity Ganon. This form also came the closest to total victory of any of his incarnations, nearly killing Link, successfully killing the four other Champions, turning the Guardians against their creators, and plunging Hyrule into a Dark Age for over 100 years. As such, comparisons have been made between Ganon's new form and Giygas, who also traded sanity for power, and to Vanitas, who is interested in testing whether Malice is related to the darkness that he himself is made out of.

Griffith started out as a child of humble birth, struggling for bread. However, this didn't deter him as he would rise in power by forming the mercenary Band of the Hawk, his charisma leading to getting a high position in the Kingdom of Midland. However, Guts leaving would cause him to make a massive blunder and sleep with the princess. This ended badly, and his absolute despair through his Crimson Behelit led a once in 216 years event to occur; having the choice to stay as he is or sacrifice everyone he cared about to become a godlike Demon Lord. He chose the latter.
It's said that whenever someone alienates their followers by crossing the Moral Event Horizon, a mocking chuckle can be heard from Griffith's temple. All but the darkest of hearts loathe Griffith for slaughtering his friends, and especially for mentally and physically raping Casca to madness. That last act has made ever demon from Nippon Ichi to hate him along with every rape victim and those like Oberyn Martell who were close to a rape victim. The Hawk of Light tries to justify himself by saying I Did What I Had to Do to accomplish his dream, which just makes them madder. Olivier Armstrong in particular, due to her motherly instincts for his comrades and own values. The House of Friendship has permanently banned him for his crimes.
Initially served as a member of the Trio of Endless Hatred, the key members of the House of Hatred and Rancor. While indeed hated for the magnitude of his sins, crossing the Moral Event Horizon is more a villainous thing to do and he decided to join the House of Villains. Swiftly made himself one of the Four Horsemen in charge of said house due to the Ebon Dragon's declining relevance, and has begun his plans to unite as much of the Trope Pantheon under his thumb in Falconia. Rather comfortable in the House of Betrayal and Treachery, for obvious reasons.
After seeing the downfall of both Terumi and Relius, Griffith considered them failures about bringing the worst of men, and after seeing Guts saving the Puella Magi, he concocted a plan that will not only serve to show how it's done to the two, but also a big middle finger to Guts' attempts: As he saw Litchi Faye-Ling still hasn't given up to save her colleague and often citing "I've Come Too Far, I don't care what happens to me as long as I can save him..." Griffith plans to influence the surrounding so she will cross the Moral Event Horizon to achieve that, seeing that it was the same thing that drove him into becoming Femto of the Godhand, and if such kind Goddess would fall into evil and loses whatever respect she had (going 180 from her personality), it would be a big triumph for him. He decided to take it slow and steady. That, unfortunately, didn't come to pass when eventually Litchi was able to move on from Arakune. At that point, Griffith immediately considered the task not really worth it and put it on a backburner. He's got a lot of slaughter counts to rack up in the meantime, and make sure Guts never get the chance to kick his ass meanwhile... like usual.
One of the most charismatic villains in the entire Trope Pantheon, it one of his main powers as a Godhand. He's considered a messiah in Midland, and created a seemingly utopian kingdom where Apostles and humans are in peace. Given he's fundamentally changed the world outside into a Hell on Earth as The Magic Comes Back, it's a Gilded Cage in service to Despotism Justifies the Means at best. He is interested in eliminating Saint Walker due to being a genuine source of hope, while he wants the monopoly on it. Many suspect he's pulling a Hope Spot, especially when he's the closest thing their world has to The Antichrist.
He eventually joined a team called "The Satanic Spirits of Pure Evil", made up by him, Nyarlathotep, Diablo and Chernabog.
Supporters of Griffith usually say that he did nothing wrong. Some outside his minions believe he's much better than he actually seems, and he's using this to his advantage; for example, Barney Stinson believes that despite what he did he's helping bring forth a true utopia. To solidify his rule he's trying to get comfortable with the House of Royalty and puppet rulers. Cersei is afraid that any of her kids ascend, he might manipulate them. He believes he can manipulate Judge Claude Frollo as well to get his claws further in the faithful.
Is none too happy that Mitsuzane found redemption and regained the respect he lost. Not at all. Guts of course plans on keeping an eye on Mitsuzane in case Griffith goes after him, and is possibly even a little satisfied with how furious he must be. He doesn't like the fact that Sunset Shimmer found redemption as well. In terms of redemption, however, he seems the most concerned about the Indigo light Iroque has. Able to force compassion onto sociopaths, he is afraid of an Indigo ring trying to latch on to him and unfreeze his heart, severely compromising him.
If his spite-driven rape of Casca wasn't evil enough, his essence corrupted the fetus developing into a demon child. He would later use the demon child as his vessel to incarnate in the mortal world. It's still in his system, and has at least some marginal effect; it led him to protect Casca from boulders. He is studying Fat Buu, a much more extreme version of this, so as to avoid being compromised in any way.
Griffith has been aware that due to the more idealistic setting of the Pantheon, working and accomplishing heinous acts got a bit harder, whereupon there are a lot of deities that give the middle finger to the Moral Event Horizon and refuse to follow his footsteps. With force, if necessary. At this point, Griffith would think twice if he ever wants to induct potential sixth member of the Godhand, as he knew that these forces within the Pantheon will not be easy prey like his old Band of Hawks. But even then, once every blue moon, someone crosses the Moral Event Horizon like him. When that news comes to pass, Griffith actually treasures that moment, as proof that no matter how little or curbed, evil will always exist.
As with the other Godhand he is dissatisfied to learn that the Trope Pantheon is not the Crapsack World of Midland, and they do not have mastery over causality here. He intends to change this, and has begun scheming in the House of Prophecy and Fate, eliminating those who Screw Destiny. Competes with Palpatine, YHVH and Mateus Palamecia in a bid for power, more so the latter two due to the religious bent. YHVH isn't concerned with him directly due to being astronomically stronger though; it's more about attracting followers, which Griffith is incredibly skilled at. Interested in Lysandre's scheme to devastate the world and preserve a select group of people.
- He has set his sights on Yuji Sakai because not only is he a being comparable in power to him and has managed to find a way to put an end to neverending wars thus making him a Messiah in the eyes of similarly crapsack worlds like Warhammer 40,000 but the several similarities the two share, such as being that they were once humans with mundane origins who made what amounts to a Deal with the Devil to become the godlike beings they are. The differences between the two though is that whereas Yuji ultimately uses his powers for the greater good, including giving a new world for the supernatural forces so they no longer harm the mortal realm, Griffith goes for the polar opposite, fusing the mortal and supernatural realms thus turning the already harsh Midland into a Hell on Earth so he will be the one and only ruler.
As its Chosen One, he has been ordered by his God, the Idea of Evil, to attempt to find those worthy of being the Pantheon's God Hand.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/johan_liebert_char_model.png

Theme Music: Grain
Alignment: Chaotic Evil (Why? Just Because)

Fears: Erma Williams, Alma Wade, Osaka
Headbutting Heroes with: Embryo
It is believed that all who look upon him will be driven insane or brutally murdered. This is not because of any mystical properties on his part so much as it is that he will hunt you down, and he will break you.
Has gained the admiration and devotion of Hansel and Gretel for his ability to know which twin is male and which is female (personal experience helped).
Plays the straight man sociopath to Joker's Ax-Crazy psychopath when the two meet, though no one is quite sure what goes on during these encounters as every non-Eldritch Abomination gets the hell out when they do.
It is rumored that the DNA Voice inside Lucy's head is actually Johan Liebert taking in the form of a naked girl wrapped in bandages commanding her and the Diclonius to kill humanity.
He's somehow very fond of Lucy for some reason, and has recently 'married' her, forming an Unholy Matrimony between the two.
He's been called as The Joker of Anime and Manga. They have formed a group called the GUAE Liebertarian Movement, and its purpose is to spread "Lieberty" (which is, in reality, is eternal suffering and despair).
- After hearing news about the "Great Upheaval" and that the Witch system is reinstated as a result, he has taken to great lengths to break every magical girl into a witch, aiding in his plan to cause The End of the Pantheon as We Know It and also in his plan to cause eternal suffering and despair.
The title of God of Mind Rape used to be held by Johan. However, it was decided that it should be given to the being that invented Mind Rape. Johan was given a new trope in its place, More than Mind Control, because Johan can manipulate people without any powers, just his words.
- Not that Johan is bitter about it. He's rather impressed by the torture he was able to inflict upon Asuka and his love of bringing back painful memories on his victims... That is until recently when it was discovered that the inventor really didn't have any malicious intent behind its actions. And worse, it mind raped Johan before leaving the GUAE. He is very bitter about this now.
Given his legendary Mind Raping and corruption skills, he pretty much would have made Superman's corruption quicker than what The Joker did.
For all his Mind Rape powers, there is a reason that people still say there's Always a Bigger Fish; after an attempt of using his powers to break Erma into despair with help from the Joker and Alex Mercer while using the GUAD's base for operation (they were supposed to be on cleanup duty that day and wanted to ditch it and go to a spot that Melkor couldn't find them at), Alma, who has taken a liking to her, barged into the alliance's stronghold, undid the changes and sent everyone into the Almaverse. That's all the information he's willing to delve into, and just by seeing a picture of either of the two ghost girls tends to lead him into having a mental breakdown. Poetic, isn't it?
One of Johan's only true allies is the uber-Slasher Movie killer, Michael Myers. Johan always gives him a nice list of victims to kill overnight, including food and shelter if he ever gets into a scrape. It is hard to tell what emotions the Shape feels, but eyewitnesses (who survived their encounter) report that Michael becomes ever-so slightly solemn in Johan's presence as if in mild awe of him. Michael's Arch-Enemy and former psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis likens Johan to what Michael would be if he could talk and speak normally, living proof of why he is so unbelievably paranoid about the Boogeyman.
Loomis: See? This unassuming man singlehandedly brought about a wave of murders and suicides, violent neo-Nazi movements worshipping him and ruined whole societies in his wake, all from his charisma! This is what happens if you give pure evil an education and the ability to use his terrible gifts! The emptiness in his eyes is the same as Michael's! There must be no mercy for them. They both must be put down, the monsters that they are.
Surprisingly gets along with Damien Thorn as both of them are cold, calculating and sociopathic in nature. Both of them express some kind of curiosity and interest in the sense that both of them are considered Antichrists, though Johan is metaphorical (or a true one) whereas Damien is literally that. Despite this, Johan has no qualms of backstabbing and eliminating Damien once he runs out of any aid or support, though Damien can only be harmed by holy weapons, which is something most evil-aligned deities, Johan included, couldn't possess.
Also has a spot in the House of Mind Control.
