Christine Wesp Van Bilj, also known as Kristen Cromwell, Kristen Kiwifruit, the Second Serilda of the Abaddon, Lazuli Lavenna, Christine Van Bilj, Entisrich and Van Billiard, is a major antagonist in LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow and a supporting character in LOTM: Star Spangled Crown, serving as a rival to Ichabod and Katrina Crane. She is also Betsy Ross' arch-enemy, being a major antagonist in LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow - Horsemen Saga, a major protagonist in Pandora Saga and a supporting character in the following stories.
Born to be the daughter of Caspar Van Bilj and the twin-sister of Colin Van Bilj, Christine was empowered by Twelve Nethers' creation of dark magic from her birth, a dark power that granted her great intelligence as well as beauty, but with the price of having disoriented and split personality inside herself. She later became good friend and childhood sweetheart of Crow Faux, aka Gabriel Van Tassel, who was adopted by Caspar. Goaded by her father unknowingly, Christine and Colin joined Moloch's dark coven and served as the right-hand of General William Howe, to be Caspar's pawn only.
Nevertheless, after discovering that she and Colin were both pawns and creations to fulfill their father's plan, Christine broke down in sadness, causing the Twelve Nethers' curse broke inside herself, forming the very first Zodiac Demon in Sleepy Hollow named Entisrich and casted out the kind side of her humanity and compassion by force (the said humanity was later contained by Pandora and became the basis of Kristen Kiwifruit), turning her into a cold and unfeeling person that cared about nobody but Colin. Whilst the lesser Zodiac Demons usually chose to devour their hosts' souls at once, Christine's Zodiac Demon persona (Entisrich) chose the slow ways, influencing its host's mind and corrupting her so that it would finally break her and take over her body.
Overall, Christine can be seen as a form that combined with three personalities with their own forms. Kristen Kiwifruit was her true feelings of a normal human that would have change her to the better side (but was stripped away by Moloch and Caspar). Entisrich embodied Christine's megalomaniac dark side that gone rogue after she had gone despair. The rest was her main personality that was originally on the neutral ground. Without her best side pushing down her worst side, however, what was left of Christine Van Bilj, within Ichabod's impression, was a shell of the woman she dreamed to become.
Christine's main persona was in-between Kristen and Entisrich, being a cruel, cold-hearted, egocentric, vainglorious and arrogant woman that had ambitions to become the world's ruler. However, unlike Entisrich, Christine still maintained her standards, like showing disgust over the hidden corruption within the Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart, whilst her disgust to both Hubert Zodiak and Lady Van Tassel never diminished, seeing them as weasels and cowards.
In Horseman Saga, she served as a major antagonist in the remake version of The Cranes Arc, the posthumous overarching antagonist in Blood Moon Sub Arc, a posthumous antagonist in Haunting Past Sub Arc, a major antagonist in Death's Return Sub Arc, the villainous protagonist in Lost Family Sub Arc, a major antagonist in Purgatory Sub Arc, War Arc, Conquest Arc and Famine Arc.
Starting from Pandora Saga, however, with the formation of Kristen Kiwifruit and the (temporary) banishment of Entisrich thanks to Pandora's efforts, Christine's villainous intent began to wane and began to wore off the Zodiac Demons' influence. Enraged that Moloch used her to do his dirty work when she could have been a person that would do the world a great contribution, Christine defected from Moloch's faction and intended to kill herself along with Entisrich, so that she would atone for her crimes she had done under Moloch's manipulation and the Twelve Nethers' control, slowing accepting her Kristen persona in the process. After the final battle against Moloch, Christine sacrificed herself to have Entisrich killed for good, paying for her own crimes and leaving everything to the humanity that was stripped from herself years ago.
Without the influence from Entisrich for real, the 19th century Christine finally could embraced her long-lost humanity by merging her own power, memory and a part of her personality back into Kristen's body in her final moments. The remnants of Christine's main personality, alongside the fragments from Lazuli Lavenna and Nether Kaysie the Demon Princess, merged with the Kristen personality into one unique personality with the help of Gregory Grape's soul. The reformed Christine/Kristen went by the name Kristen Kiwifruit, which served as the mark of her Order of Flourish reformation and the beginning of her eternal atonement, finally ending the personality crisis and living on as a renewed soul.

Trivia[]
- Like many characters, Christine has her own unique laugh, "Ohohohohoho".
- Christine / Kristen is considered as the most recurring human rival to Ichabod, since they met and compete against each otehr in childhood, and they later became sworn enemies after Ichabod turned against British Army and joined the side of Patroits. Even after Christine joined Team Witness, the rival still remains but is much less hostile.
- Among the scientist characters in the overall LOTM: WoSH storyline, Christine / Kristen is the only expert entomologist (people who studied insects) appeared in the story.
- Overall, Christine / Kristen's behavior and status often match with those of bees, especially a queen bee, like her high-level authority, her fond of sweetness and flowers, her minions' undying loyalty, her need for a society like a hive, as well as her hostile attitude to any rival of hers.
- The inspiration of Christine's characteristics as well as her own view of society comes from the popularity of bees in Victorian England, where people believed the most idealistic social hierarchy for humans would be inspired by that of bees.
- The "beehive society" belief of Christine was inspired by eusociality (from Greek εὖ eu "good" and social), which is the highest level of organization of animal sociality, and it's defined by the following characteristics: cooperative brood care (including care of offspring from other individuals), overlapping generations within a colony of adults, and a division of labor into reproductive and non-reproductive groups. The division of labor creates specialized behavioral groups within an animal society which are sometimes called castes. Eusociality is distinguished from all other social systems because individuals of at least one caste usually lose the ability to perform at least one behavior characteristic of individuals in another caste.
- The creation of Christine's split personality was already developed earlier, with her heinous crimes being pinned on her Zodiac Demon named Entisrich, whilst her human side later that became Kristen Kiwifruit was her main personality. However, the author found it intolerable that it almost made Christine innocent of everything without paying for her crimes.
- As such, the later story splited Christine's human side even further. It had Kristen became a brighter part of Christine's human side, albeit being her stripped humanity, whilst Christine's main personality became a shell of her former self, due to Moloch's manipulation as well as Entisrich's corrupting influence.
- Upon merging back with Kristen, all Christine remained was to destroy Entisrich and Moloch, going on a redemption arc before finally accepting her punishment by merging herself back into Kristen to allow the latter replaced her as the main personality. Later, it was exhibited in both Firenza Junior and LOTM: Sword of Gods that Kristen still maintained some more cruel sides of Christine due to these two personalities' complete synchronization, but it only served as her method to kill her enemies in war.
- This was inspired by Berserk's posthumously released latest chapter, which revealed that the mysterious boy Guts met took form of a crying Griffith, presumably symbolizing the humanity Griffith forsook when he became Femto and was treated as a seperate entity.
- After the personality fusion, Christine and Kristen became one and the same completely, whilst Entisrich died as a seperated Zodiac Demon for good.
- In an ironic sense, Ichabod won his rivalry with Kristen/Christine, but he lost his family. Christine/Kristen, however, kept her family even if she admitted defeat in her rivalry with Ichabod.
- Christine's role to Ichabod was equivalent to General William Howe, with both of them being old familiar with Ichabod and turned into sworn enemies after Ichabod defected from the British Army upon discovering its deal with Moloch.
- Although her name and signature had changed into Kristen, Ichabod, Katrina and Crow still called her Christine due to their old habit, and she does not mind it at all.
- With the exception of Efreet Feuer, Christine / Kristen (alongside her evil counterpart Entisrich) cheats death more than anyone else in the whole LOTM: WoSH storyline, and even Kristen herself often lampshaded that only perhaps an overkill will bring down a person in Sleepy Hollow for good.
- Christine/Kristen always took pride whenever people was shocked by the number of her children even with a single husband, and some even proclaimed that she will give birth to an army, even it was out of sarcasm or horror. However, she neither encouraged, nor discouraged other women to follow her example by force, as she was not an ordinary human now and had standards different to normal people.
- Christine is the foil to Ichabod, with both having high intelligence and being military strategists with photographic memories (though Christine aka Kristen admitted that Ichabod had better memories than her since her mind was screwed by Entisrich at first). However, Ichabod was much more modest and was tolerate for minor failures, whilst Christine is an arrogant woman and a sore loser.
- Because of her combined wasp & bee physiology that made her produce more egg cells, Christine will ALWAYS get pregnant with multiple children immediately after she had sex with Crow without condom (of which she never used). All of her deliverance gave birth to multiple children each time, and after the World War III over, she and her entire family joined Selina in rebuilding the Sleepy Hollow from their reclaimed ruins.
- Lord Helio borrowed Christine's beehive-mind power from her to manage his clones after he recruited her into the Order of Flourish.
- In an odd way, one of a major goals of Kristen/Christine did succeeded, with her marriage with Crow Faux, her successful pregnancy with several children in one birth, and giving birth to many babies without failure. Those did brought her with a large family. However, without Entisrich's influence, her purpose had changed. Now, all Christine/Kristen wanted was only a large family rather than an army of human beehive for herself, showing that she began to value the true meanings of family.
- Christine/Kristen became the first mother in the WoSH story with more than three children. In fact, even disregarding the monsters she had created, Christine/Kristen had one of the largest number of children in the entire CIS Productions' female characters, and thus having loads of descendants that many other characters.
- It is said that if she was born in the 21st century, Christine will graduate from Oxford in the United Kingdom when she was only ten just because how intelligent she was. Christine, however, defied it as exaggerated and unrealistic rumors, as she said the educational requirement in the 21st century was even higher than that in the 18th century, which required her to take years to master.
- Despite still learning about modern society after her full-on revival, Christine had a faster progress of understanding and acceptance to the modern technology than both Ichabod and Katrina did.
- After giving birth for the third time, Christine/Kristen now have 20 children in total, which horrified Selina (her children's godmother) so much. Therefore, Selina advised Christine/Kristen to stop impregnating herself, for 10 years at most, and she had to take care of her already born children in the period.
- Mainly, Selina feared that Christine/Kristen's desire for her family's expansion (caused by her trauma in Sleepy Hollow's destruction and the loss of her friends) will led her to kill herself in childbirth.
- Selina's fear of Christine's everlasting childbirth returning had eventually became true in LOTM: Los Reina de Corazónes, when Kristen was traumatized by Ara's action of killing her children right in front of her. Kristen eventually snapped, allowing Christine's insane self to resurface again since it went quiet after Moloch's defeat. In a fit of insanity, Christine broke her caring mother side, denied her Kristen personality, defied Selina's pleadge for her not to do this and angrily forced Crow Faux to impregnant her in the fourth and final time (heavily implied to be multiple times of sexual intercourse in just one round), in order to spite Ara Astaroth for killing her family.
- Even worse, in a desperation to create a horde of her powerful successors for Future Maria, a VERY HEAVILY pregnant Kristen fed herself with a special elixir (made from Selina's blood that can make creatures grow) which fasten her children's aging and birth, eventually gave birth to the Van Bilj Mutants and resulted in her imminent death in Astaroth Future.
- This had even disgusted and horrified Future Maria, whilst Katya (who was unfazed) stated that it was not surprised for her as this was the most realistic consequences for Kristen's baby-making frenzy gone wild.
- In the main story's timeline, Kristen only got pregnant for the fourth time after the deaths of Diabla and the Fallen's Essence, of which Kristen conceived her children with her sense fully functioning in a normal way (since her death in the family never happened). She gave birth to ten more children months later, with all of these newborns being normal humanoid rather than insectoid mutants. Her dark side of insanity never resurfaced again.
- Whilst there are many characters in Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow that suffered from multiple personality disorder, Christine suffered the most, for having the personality of her original self, her Kristen Kiwifruit persona, her Zodiac Demon (Entisrich), a shard of Kaysie's personality, the ashes and remaining will of Serilda of the Abaddon and the essence of Lazuli Lavenna's spirit, making her to have six personalities at most.
- Only Entisrich was splited out from her body forever, whilst others eventually merged together into one single entity, resulting in a unique Christine Van Bilj that also went by the alias of Kristen Kiwifruit.
- All of her split personalities either formed from herself, or being formed by what remained of dead spirits resided inside her mind through various methods (Serilda's remaining ashes and Nether Crystal, precisely).

Real-Life Inspirations[]
Elizabeth Báthory[]
Elizabeth Báthory, Hungarian form Báthory Erzsébet, (born August 7, 1560, Nyírbátor, Hungary—found dead August 21, 1614, Castle C̆achtice, C̆achtice, Hungary [now in Slovakia]), Hungarian countess who purportedly tortured and murdered hundreds of young women in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Báthory was born into prominent Protestant nobility in Hungary. Her family controlled Transylvania, and her uncle, Stephen Báthory, was king of Poland. She was raised at the family castle in Ecséd, Hungary. In 1575 she married Count Ferencz Nádasdy, a member of another powerful Hungarian family, and subsequently moved to Castle C̆achtice, a wedding gift from the Nádasdy family. From 1585 to 1595, Báthory bore four children.
After Nádasdy’s death in 1604, rumours of Báthory’s cruelty began to surface. Though previous accounts of the murder of peasant women had apparently been ignored, the claims in 1609 that she had slain women from noble families attracted attention. Her cousin, György Thurzó, count palatine of Hungary, was ordered by Matthias, then king of Hungary, to investigate. The count palatine determined, after taking depositions from people living in the area surrounding her estate, that Báthory had tortured and killed more than 600 girls with the assistance of her servants. On December 30, 1609, Báthory and her servants were arrested. The servants were put on trial in 1611, and three were executed. Although never tried, Báthory was confined to her chambers at Castle C̆achtice. She remained there until she died.
While documents from Báthory’s trial supported the accusations made against her, modern scholarship has questioned the veracity of the allegations. Báthory was a powerful woman, made more so by her control of Nádasdy’s holdings after his death. The fact that a large debt owed by Matthias to Báthory was canceled by her family in exchange for permitting them to manage her captivity suggests that the acts attributed to her were politically motivated slander that allowed relatives to appropriate her lands.
Marie Antoinette[]
Marie-Antoinette-Josèphe-Jeanne d'Autriche-Lorraine (/ˌæntwəˈnɛt, ˌɒ̃twə-/;[1] French: [maʁi ɑ̃twanɛt]; born Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna; 2 November 1755 – 16 October 1793) was the last Queen of France before the French Revolution. She was born an Archduchess of Austria, and was the penultimate child of Empress Maria Theresa and Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor.
In April 1770, upon her marriage to Louis-Auguste, heir apparent to the French throne, she became Dauphine of France. On 10 May 1774, when her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVI, she assumed the title Queen of France and Navarre, which she held until September 1791, when, as the French Revolution proceeded, she became Queen of the French, a title she held until 21 September 1792.
After eight years of marriage, Marie Antoinette gave birth to a daughter, Marie Thérèse of France, the first of her four children. Despite her initial popularity, a growing number of the population eventually came to dislike her, accusing her of being profligate, promiscuous, and of harbouring sympathies for France's enemies, particularly her native Austria. The Affair of the Diamond Necklace damaged her reputation further. During the Revolution, she became known as Madame Déficit because the country's financial crisis was blamed on her lavish spending and her opposition to the social and financial reforms of Turgot and Necker.
During the Revolution, after the government had placed the royal family under house arrest in the Tuileries Palace in October 1789, several events linked to Marie Antoinette, in particular the June 1791 attempted flight to Varennes and her role in the War of the First Coalition, had disastrous effects on French popular opinion. On 10 August 1792, the attack on the Tuileries forced the royal family to take refuge at the Assembly, and on 13 August the family was imprisoned in the Temple. On 21 September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. After a two-day trial began on 14 October 1793, Marie Antoinette was convicted by the Revolutionary Tribunal of high treason and executed by guillotine on the Place de la Révolution on 16 October 1793.
Lucrezia Borgia[]
Lucrezia Borgia (Italian pronunciation: [luˈkrɛttsja ˈbɔrdʒa]; Valencian: Lucrècia Borja [luˈkrɛsia ˈbɔɾdʒa]; 18 April 1480 – 24 June 1519) was the daughter of Pope Alexander VI and Vannozza dei Cattanei. Her brothers included Cesare Borgia, Giovanni Borgia, and Gioffre Borgia.
Her family arranged several marriages for her that advanced their own political position including Giovanni Sforza (Lord of Pesaro), Alfonso of Aragon (Duke of Bisceglie), and Alfonso I d'Este (Duke of Ferrara). Tradition has it that Alfonso of Aragon was an illegitimate son of the King of Naples and that her brother Cesare may have had him murdered after his political value waned.
Rumors about her and her family cast Lucrezia as a femme fatale, a role in which she has been portrayed in many artworks, novels and films.
Henning von Tresckow[]
Hermann Henning Karl Robert von Tresckow (10 January 1901 – 21 July 1944) was an officer in the German Army who helped organize German resistance against Adolf Hitler. He attempted to assassinate Hitler on 13 March 1943 and drafted the Valkyrie plan for a coup against the German government. He was described by the Gestapo as the "prime mover" and the "evil spirit" behind the plot of 20 July 1944 to assassinate Hitler. He committed suicide at Królowy Most on the Eastern Front upon the plot's failure.
Fictional Inspirations[]
Alexia Ashford (Code: Veronica)[]
Alexia Ashford is a member of the Ashford family and the creator of the T-Veronica Virus, as well as the main antagonist of Resident Evil Code: Veronica X. The adopted daughter of Dr. Alexander Ashford, 6th Earl Ashford, her real parentage was the result of a cloning experiment referred to as Project CODE:Veronica, and was biologically the daughter of Veronica Ashford, 1st Countess Ashford. Through her grandfather, Dr. Edward Ashford, 5th Earl Ashford, she was able to gain a position as a virologist within Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, an enterprise he co-founded.
Alexia and her brother Alfred, the future 7th Earl Ashford were born around 1971 to an unnamed surrogate mother as part of Project CODE:Veronica. The project, led by Dr. Alexander Ashford, involved obtaining DNA from the embalmed body of his ancestor, Veronica and creating a genetically-modified clone. The purpose of it was a vanity project intent on restoring the family's reputation with a child comparable to Veronica, who's intelligence was renowned, and prevent Lord Oswell E. Spencer from taking full control over the corporation should Dr. Edward Ashford die. Whereas Alexia's genius intellect fulfilled all of Dr. Ashford's expectations, the higher-than-average Alfred did not compare, perhaps due to having been the result of a freak error during the cloning process intended solely to create Alexia. Nonetheless, both were raised by Dr. Ashford at his home under the Antarctic Base.
At the age of 10, Alexia graduated from a university in England and was employed by Umbrella Pharmaceuticals as one of its virologists. Isolated from other scholars by her young age, and from children by her intellect, Alexia's only comfort was her brother Alfred, having already developed a loathing of her father as another member of the "ignorant masses".
In February 1983, some time around her twelfth birthday, her brother Alfred told her about a secret room in the Antarctic Base, at which she was working at the time, and told her he needed her family gemstone, a large ruby inside a silver choker, to open it. Offering it to him, she aided him in opening the secret corridor. Once inside, the twins learned the complete truth about their creation, and both grew immensely hateful of their father.
Capturing him in March 1983, they used him as a test subject for the t-Veronica virus that she had created by binding together the Progenitor Virus and the remnants of an ancient virus found within a queen ant. The experiment turned Alexander into the insane monster known only as Nosferatu.
Taking notes on her father's progress, Alexia discovered certain flaws in her virus, and planned to inject herself with the virus to become a superior being. Using the data she had obtained from her father, Alexia discovered a way to harness the full power of her virus: by having herself put into cryogenic suspension for fifteen years while the virus, slowed by the ultra-low temperatures to a point where it would not destroy her tissues through overly rapid mutation, matured within her unconscious body. In December 1983, she assigned Alfred to protect her and carry out her will while she was inactive, and proceeded to enter the cryostatic state.
Sephiroth[]
Sephiroth is the main antagonist of Final Fantasy VII, and one of the major antagonists in its extended universe. Before his fall from grace, Sephiroth was one of the most lauded success stories of the Shinra Electric Power Company's SOLDIER program. A great warrior idolized by the public and infantrymen alike for his strength and discipline in combat, Sephiroth's many successes in the field of battle during the conflicts surrounding the Shinra Electric Power Company's bid for global domination led to his status as a celebrity war hero and the poster boy for both the Shinra Military and the company's SOLDIER program.
Prior to his madness, as shown in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-, Sephiroth maintains an outwardly professional demeanor during his time at Shinra. While his cold exterior and professional attitude turn people away, he is not anti-social, as he values his friendship with his only friends Angeal Hewley and Genesis Rhapsodos, and willingly tells Zack and Tifa about Mako and Materia on Mt. Nibel. At times, Sephiroth acts more humane and caring than his reputation would suggest, disobeying orders due to conflict of interest if it would impact his friends, and offering his blood for a transfusion to help Genesis when he was injured.
Sephiroth is intelligent and respects those he deems worthy—he considers Professor Gast Faremis a great scientist, but scorns Professor Hojo. Well-spoken and graceful, Sephiroth is calm, collected, and in control, and he has a dry sense of humor. Rarely, he can be frustrated and caught off-guard. As the strongest SOLDIER alive, Sephiroth is confident to the point of arrogance. Despite this, he has no interest in personal fame or glory, as he tells Genesis, who envies Sephiroth's reputation as a hero, that he can have it.
Following his fall into insanity, Sephiroth retains most of his personality traits, but becomes murderous, ruthless, and vengeful. He develops a messiah complex, proclaiming he is "the chosen one" destined to lead the Planet. He becomes sadistic, as he enjoys mentally torturing Cloud. Sephiroth is devoted to Jenova and its cause, even though its body serves as little more than his avatar. It is also stated he is now an agent carrying out Jenova's will.
In spin-off appearances, Sephiroth is depicted as Cloud Strife's archenemy, and is seen as a symbol of Cloud's troubled past that haunts his life.
Walter Sullivan[]
Walter Sullivan is the main antagonist of Silent Hill 4: The Room. He is an infamous serial killer, killing at least nineteen people (including two children); and a religious fanatic, courtesy of the Order's beliefs being imposed upon him as a child, attempting to fulfill a macabre ritual called the 21 Sacraments. He was on a mission to cleanse the world of its sins.
As a young boy, Walter considered the apartment room he was born in to be his mother. However, his real mother and father abandoned him at birth. The Otherworld explored throughout the game was created by Walter, as well as the monsters which inhabit it, and it symbolizes his past, fears and views of society.
Throughout his childhood, Walter was placed under the strict teachings of the Order. Because the cult adopted him, Walter holds the cult in high regards and strongly believes in its teachings. Walter shares many similarities to Claudia Wolf. Walter feels that humanity and society is evil, corrupt, despicable, and full of suffering. He is a firm believer in Paradise, a new world untainted by human evil, pain and suffering.
Walter's fear, hatred, disgust, contempt, disdain, and animosity towards humanity and the world seems to manifest itself into monsters such as the Gum Heads (hatred of men) and Patients (hatred of women), and his Otherworld is filled with macabre and disfigured human-like dolls and corpses.
Walter believed he needed to purify humanity's sins so that a new world could come into being by killing people. It can also be speculated that another reason Walter was willing to murder his victims was for the "greater good"; 21 sacrifices would be nothing compared to humanity's overpopulated billions that would be "saved" in return.
Walter's life was devoid of any real love and kindness. When Eileen Galvin gave him her doll when he was homeless and sleeping on the cold streets, Walter cried sorrowfully (or perhaps he was so grateful that he was crying in joy) because such an act from society was rare; Walter views the majority of society and humanity as cruel, corrupt, greedy, and bitter. This is understandable considering how, for the most part, he was abandoned and rejected by society. Despite this, he held a calm and shy demeanor.
As a child, Walter unquestioningly accepted what the adults in his life taught him, and thus, believed what Dahlia Gillespie told him: his mother was asleep in Ashfield. Walter holds a strong desire to be reunited with his mother, whom he never knew. In Walter's flashbacks, it is shown that Walter's father was abusive to both him and his mother. It can be speculated that Walter hates his father for this reason, indicated by a scribbled drawing, and sees his mother as a sort of "prisoner" to his father. This desire is so strong that Walter is willing to murder 21 people in order to rebirth God, unleash Paradise, and be reunited with his mother.
Despite him being a serial killer, Walter speaks to Henry Townshend in a surprisingly calm and non-threatening manner. Even though he chases Henry and Eileen, attempting to murder them both, he does not hold any hatred and resentment towards them. Walter views Henry and Eileen not as enemies, but simply as two more sacrifices needed to complete the 21 Sacraments ritual, showing an odd empathy-lacking attitude towards killing. He also seems to be unable to view his victims as anything beyond their roles as his sacrifices, perhaps showing a minor case of narcissism.
Eurus Holmes[]
Eurus Holmes is the main antagonist of the fourth series of the BBC Series Sherlock. She is the younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes who was completely unknown until her reveal in "The Lying Detective". She is the person behind Jim Moriarty's "Did You Miss Me?" propaganda.
Eurus is Sherlock and Mycroft's "secret" sister. Eurus is indirectly referred to in "His Last Vow"; when discussing Sherlock, Mycroft declares "I am not given to outbursts of brotherly compassion. You know what happened to the other one". She first appears in disguise in "The Six Thatchers" as a potential romantic interest for Watson, and then in two alternate disguises; Watson's therapist and Faith Smith in "The Lying Detective". She reveals her true identity in the conclusion of the episode, shooting Watson with a tranquilliser dart.
In "The Final Problem", Mycroft explains that Eurus was the youngest child, possessing a transcendent intellect greater than that of Isaac Newton. However, she was twisted by her inability to comprehend human feeling, once slicing at her arm to see the function of her own muscles and having to ask the meaning of pain. After a traumatic experience where she was involved in the death of Sherlock's childhood best friend (with Sherlock reinventing his friend as the dog "Redbeard" to lessen the emotional pain) and later burning down the Holmes family estate, she was taken away, with Sherlock then repressing any memory of her well into adulthood.
Later in life, on Mycroft's recommendation, she was transferred to Sherrinford, a maximum security psychiatric facility located on an island. Her death was also faked, with her parents being informed she had perished after starting another fire whilst incarcerated. Despite her incarceration, Eurus was occasionally consulted for her insight into potential threats, deducing the last three major attempted terrorist attacks on Britain after an hour on Twitter, in exchange for 'favours', which included five minutes of unsupervised conversation with Jim Moriarty. Having taken subtle control of the Sherrinford staff through her skills in manipulation, Eurus traps Sherlock, John and Mycroft in a game which culminates in her ordering Sherlock to shoot either John or Mycroft, only to tranquilise the three of them when Sherlock threatens to shoot himself instead.
At the conclusion, with John trapped in the well where a young Eurus drowned Sherlock's childhood friend, Sherlock deduces that a childish song she gave as the only 'clue' to what she had done was actually a code. The code leads him to her childhood room in the abandoned Holmes estate, allowing Sherlock to save Watson by making a genuinely emotional appeal to Eurus, finally providing her with the brotherly love she never received as a child. She is returned to incarceration, although she and Sherlock are able to communicate through playing the violin.
Darth Maul[]
Maul was a Dathomirian Zabrak male who lived during the waning days of the Galactic Republic and the reign of the Galactic Empire. The son of Mother Talzin of the Nightsisters, he was taken as the Sith apprentice of Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith, and given the name Darth Maul. After revealing the existence of the Sith to the Jedi Order, Maul supposedly fell in a lightsaber duel against Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Battle of Naboo. Over a decade later, he returned from exile and formed the criminal army known as the Shadow Collective, intent on reclaiming the power he had lost. His quest for revenge against Kenobi and the Sith continued into the Imperial age, bringing him into conflict with the early rebellion against the Empire.
As a Sith Lord, Maul believed it was his destiny to rule the galaxy and bring about the end of the Jedi and the Republic. After the Battle of Naboo, that destiny was taken by Count Dooku, a former Jedi Master who became Sidious' new apprentice. The Sith's war to destroy the Republic began without Maul, as the Clone Wars raged across the galaxy, but Maul returned during the conflict and brought the Shadow Collective together to destroy his enemies and regain what he had lost. He led the takeover of the planet Mandalore with the help of his allies, the Mandalorian splinter group Death Watch, and killed Duchess Satine Kryze as part of his revenge against Kenobi, as she was an old friend and romantic interest of the venerable Jedi Master. Maul was captured and imprisoned by Sidious soon thereafter, who used his former apprentice as part of a plot to eliminate Mother Talzin, whom Sidious considered a threat to his future rule of the galaxy.
Sidious succeeded in destroying the Jedi at the end of the war, and he transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire and proclaimed himself Emperor. During the Empire's reign, Maul dwelled on the ancient Sith world of Malachor after his ship crash-landed there in the hopes of unlocking the superweapon at the heart of the Sith temple. It was his hope that he could use the temple to destroy Sidious and his apprentice, Darth Vader—whom Maul viewed as the embodiment of everything he could have been. Maul's plan was thwarted by two Jedi, Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger, the latter of whom Maul hoped to corrupt as his own apprentice.
Later, Maul kidnapped Kanan and Ezra's rebel comrades. He also obtained Ezra's Sith holocron and Kanan Jarrus' holocron through which he learnt that his nemesis Obi-Wan Kenobi was still alive. Maul's efforts to recruit Ezra as his apprentice failed when the young man refused to abandon his friends following a skirmish on Dathomir. Seeking to find hope and purpose, Maul sought out Kenobi on the desert planet of Tatooine. Following a duel, Maul was ultimately killed by Kenobi; ending his quest for vengeance, and finding a sense of peace in the knowledge that the end of the Sith was at hand.
Dark Faust[]
Dark Faust (ダークファウスト Dāku Fausuto?) is a major in Ultraman Nexus. She was the first of the evil Ultramen created by Dark Zagi to battle Ultraman Nexus. Years ago Nosferu, Dark Mephisto's pet, killed the Saida family including Riko Saida. Mephisto had his loyal agent Dark Faust possess Riko to hide from Ultraman Nexus.
Despite the masculine voice, and appearance, Faust is confirmed to be a female Ultra in the magazines. Furthermore, she was never called by full name, only referred to as Faust (ファウスト Fausuto?) by Himeya and the Night Raiders, including herself.
Faust's human guise is Riko Saida, Komon's kind-hearted artist girlfriend. It was later revealed that she had actually died on the day she met Komon, when her family was attacked by the Space Beast Nosferu. Mizorogi arrived on the scene, aiming his weapon at Nosferu, but turned around and shot her instead. She was resurrected to become a pawn of the darkness, unwittingly serving as the human form for Dark Faust, Nexus' first enemy. However, in the end, Riko's consciousness won out during a battle with Nosferu where Komon became trapped in the Meta Field, and she shielded him with her body against an attack. The revelation that Riko was Faust and her death shocked Komon considerably, and he took a long time to recover.
Marik Ishtar[]
Marik Ishtar is the main antagonist of the Battle City story arc in Yu-Gi-Oh!. He is a former tombkeeper and the leader of the Ghouls (also known as Rare Hunters). He owns the Millennium Rod, allowing him to take control of anyone, sometimes to the extent of speaking through them. In the overall story of the Battle City arc, Marik serves as the main antagonist but later, his alter ego took over and replaced him as the main antagonist.
The heir to a clan of tombkeepers and the younger brother of Ishizu Ishtar. Marik's hatred of the nameless Pharaoh compels him to disregard his duties and turn to a life of crime, as well as developing a split personality, during his childhood after he underwent the tombkeeper's initiation ritual (which burned a key to the Pharaoh's memory on his back with a hot dagger) and was forever destined for a confined life in the darkness apart from the rest of the world. After breaking one of the laws of their clan, his dark personality emerged and brutally murdered his father (sent him to the Shadow Realm in the English anime); however his adoptive older brother Rishid (known as Odion in the English version of the anime adaptation) managed to seal his dark side away, leaving him with no memory of his actions. He believed that the Pharaoh had his father murdered and became obsessed with killing the Pharaoh to avenge his father and put an end to the suffering of his clan, never knowing about the murder or his other personality. To this end, he created the rare hunters, a gang of thieves who stole and collected rare Duel Monsters cards, and used his millennium item, the Millennium Rod, to manipulate people. Although he was originally innocent and kind as a child, he became very cruel and uncaring; killing his servants when they displeased him and developing a love for torturing people.
Dark Marik eventually is able to reemerge and take control of the normal Marik's body later on in the story and replaces him as the main antagonist. Dark Marik proves to be even more vicious than the original Marik. While the real Marik enjoyed violence and cruelty, he would only use it when he was angry or when it would further his own desires, but his dark side would attack anyone who crossed his path and would prolong their suffering for as long as possible; in the manga and Japanese Duel Monsters anime, he explicitly stated that he liked killing people because it was "fun" and "was the only thing that bought him Happiness". He only cares for his own survival and actively tries to kill the normal Marik so he can have sole possession of their body. He also dislikes Rishid for sealing him away and actively tries to kill him, although he is unable to for a multitude of reasons.
While he is connected to the Millennium Rod, Dark Marik differs from Dark Yugi and Dark Bakura in that he is an inhuman entity born from Marik Ishtar's pain and despair and can exist on his own without a host. (He explains that Dark Yugi would cease to exist if Yugi were destroyed, but the normal Marik's destruction wouldn't affect him.) Although not explicitly stated, it is hinted in the manga that he manipulated Marik into committing some of his later crimes, as he told Dark Yugi that he "took away" Marik's guilt for the things he did. Following Marik's surrender against Yugi, Dark Marik is destroyed.
Revan[]
Revan is a fictional character in BioWare's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game. The character may be either male or female, though Revan is canonically male and follows the game's light-side path. The player's choice of a male or female Revan changes only which characters the player character can fall in love with (as well as slightly altering the way some characters act towards the player). He was voiced by Rino Romano in Knights of the Old Republic and Jeff Bennett in Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Revan's story is further explored in Drew Karpyshyn's 2011 novella Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan. The book details the events of Revan's life after the events of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, in which Revan attempts to recover his lost memories from the period of the Mandalorian Wars and from his and Malak's travels to discover the Sith empire.
Revan is depicted as a former Jedi who, along with Malak, left the Order to lead the fight in the Mandalorian Wars due to the Jedi's inaction. One year after the end of the Mandalorian Wars, Darth Revan returned to Republic space at the head of a massive invasion fleet. Calling themselves the Sith, they declared war on the Republic. However his intention was to unite the galaxy under one ruler so he could attack the ancient Sith Empire, he avoided attacking key places such as Coruscant, Onderon, and Dantooine. The Sith won the battle and as the Dark Lord prepared to battle with the Jedi who boarded his flagship, Darth Malak, in the hopes of destroying both Revan and Bastila Shan (as well as the Jedi accompanying her), betrayed his Master, ordering the ships under his command to fire on Revan's flagship's bridge. Though Malak believed himself to have been successful in killing Revan, they survived. Revan was severely injured from the turbolaser blasts. He was then taken by Bastila Shan and her Jedi strike team to the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine where the Jedi Council members chose to wipe Revan's memory, and imprint him with a false identity that the player creates at the beginning of the game. Knights of the Old Republic begins with Revan awaking on a starship under attack. Throughout the game, Revan learns of his forgotten history and assembles a band of followers as he searches for "Star Maps" that lead him back to the Star Forge, which Revan used to make his army. Revan encounters Malak, who tells Revan that he is the former Sith lord.
At one point Malak captures Bastila and turns her to the dark side. Her ultimate fate depends on player choices. In the game, the player can choose whether to turn Revan to the dark side or the light side of the Force. Regardless, Revan confronts Malak at the game's conclusion. According to canon, Revan returned as a Jedi Knight who stopped the Sith forces under Malak's control and destroyed the Star Forge. The last scene of the game's canonical ending shows the principal characters, including Revan, being honored by the Republic at the site of the temple on Rakata Prime; a picture of later events has emerged from subsequent games and novels.
The sequel Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords reveals that a year after the defeat of Malak, Revan recalled a threat from his time as the Dark Lord, and left known space to deal with it. Clues to the nature of the threat emerge from in-game dialogue with non-player characters (including Canderous and Kreia); this varies according to alignment and gender.
Prior to the events of the sequel, Revan bade farewell to the nine comrades who had accompanied him on his quest, knowing that none whom he loved could safely accompany him in the places he had to walk; the only NPC with certain knowledge of where and why (his navigation droid, T3-M4) won't say. Also, at the ancient tomb of Ludo Kressh in Korriban, the Jedi Exile fights a silent vision of Darth Revan, in which he appears to wield two lightsabers, one red and one violet. The game lists the color crystal of the light saber the player obtains from him as a unique red color. This is Revan's only appearance in the entire game. Additionally, the Jedi Exile can speak with several companions and non-player characters within the game to learn more about the history of Revan, and his journey into the Unknown Regions.
Mercy Hartigan[]
Mercy Hartigan, or simply Miss Hartigan is the main villain in Doctor Who Christmas special episode "The Next Doctor" (2008). She is the willing accomplice of the Cybermen invasion of London in 1851; she resents her patriarchal oppression by man as a woman in Victorian England and seeks to empower herself through any means.
Mercy Hartigan was cruel, callous and sadistic in her interactions with others, especially men, for whom she seemed to harbour a misandrist hatred. She possessed a dark sense of humour and took pleasure in watching the mourners get massacred, testing the EarPods on Scoons, Fetch, Cole and Milligan and then killing them afterwards. Hartigan displayed a complete lack of empathy and was utterly ruthless. When the CyberLeader opted to convert her, he described her mind to be riven with 'anger and abuse and revenge'.
She panicked once she realised the Cybermen intended to convert her but once her mind took control, she appeared to have gone even more insane than before. While she retained her sadistic nature and her misandry, she became extremely arrogant due to her enhanced intellect and new powers. She attacked London as a demonstration of her power and greatly underestimated and mocked the Doctor during their confrontation.
When the Doctor broke the Cyberconnection linking Hartigan to the Cyberking, her mind was "opened for the first time in far too many years". In a moment of clarity, Hartigan became horrified by what she had become and killed herself along with the Cybermen.
Azula[]
Azula is the secondary antagonist of the Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender. She also appears in the following comic books: Avatar: The Search and the Smoke and Shadow trilogy as the main antagonist.
She is the princess of the Fire Nation, and daughter of Fire Lord Ozai and his wife, Princess Ursa. She replaces Zhao as the main enemy for "Team Avatar" and for her banished brother, Prince Zuko. Near the end of the series, she begins to lose her calm nature and slowly slips into insanity. In the series finale, her brother and Katara of the Water Tribe team up and defeat her in one of the last battles in the series.
After her defeat, she suffered nervous breakdown. According to Nickelodeon, Zuko took pity on his sister and sent her to a mental facility. It is unknown if she is still alive during the events of The Legend of Korra, which takes place 70 years later. Though her father is the primary antagonist of the series overall, Azula is the archenemy of Team Avatar, particularly to Zuko and Katara.
Azula relentlessly drilled herself toward perfection and settled for nothing less from herself or those who serve her. She believed that power and domination are what makes a person strong. She had absolute confidence in her "divine right to rule" which she believed she was born with. She had neither pity nor mercy toward those she marked as treasonous or inferior.
Azula was marked by a distinct lack of empathy. Even as a child, she was seen to react with hostility when outdone, when she shoved Ty Lee to the ground after Ty Lee had bested her in gymnastics. This behavior would characterize her relationship with her friends for many years. Although she could be sympathetic and loyal toward them, she never cared for their feelings and manipulated them as she saw fit, such as when she threatened Ty Lee into leaving the circus and joining her cause.
She was prone to asserting herself and her authority in an extremely grandiose way, such as when she humiliated Long Feng in front of his former henchmen or when she threatened the captain of her ship. She also showed a need for admiration from her father, whom she emulated to a great degree, and to a lesser extent from everyone else around her. She was shown reacting with despair and rage when she learned her father was going to the Earth Kingdom without her, which soon increased her mental deterioration.
She was voiced by Grey DeLisle.
Vegeta[]
Vegeta is the first of the four arch-villains of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Z Kai (along with Frieza, Cell, and Buu). He appears as the deuteragonist and anti-hero from the Dragon Ball franchise and Dragon Ball Z Kai series. He is one of the last surviving members of a race known as the Saiyans, who were destroyed when Frieza blew up their planet. He joins Goku in his fight against Frieza, and is killed. Vegeta was brought back to life by the Dragon Balls, and from then on, is a reluctant member of Goku's team. He switches sides often throughout the series, whether it be mind control or him being power mad, in the end he always fights Goku. Though eventually, even he cannot keep up with Goku. Vegeta made his first appearance in Dragon Ball Z as the main antagonist of the Saiyan Saga.
Regal, egotistical, and full of pride, Vegeta was once a ruthless, cold-blooded warrior and outright killer, but later abandons his role in the Galactic Frieza Army, instead opting to remain and live on Earth, fighting alongside the universe's most powerful warrior, specifically with the mission to defeat and surpass Goku in power. His character evolves from villain, to anti-hero, to a hero through the course of the series.
Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche[]
Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche is one of the main characters of The Evillous Chornicles series, being the main antagonist of The Daughter of Evil: Cloture of Yellow and the central protagonist in The Daughter of Evil series. She is reperesented by Rin in VOCALOID franchise.
Riliane was the last Princess of the Kingdom of Lucifenia, regarded as The Daughter of Evil, and the twin sister of Prince Alexiel. Separated from her twin in a political dispute during childhood, Riliane grew up in a lavish lifestyle, ignorant of her past. The selfish Princess was unknowingly possessed by the Demon of Pride and, after her mother's death, became Lucifenia's monarch. An arrogant tyrant, Riliane became despised for her terrible regime, aided by her loyal servant, Allen, in exterminating any opposition.
Since childhood, Riliane was influenced by several factors to be prideful, selfish and inconsiderate. Raised in luxury, she was ignorant of and apathetic towards the outside world, therefore abusing her authority to cater to her own whims. She similarly felt entitled to anything that she wanted and couldn't tolerate being questioned in the slightest; this spoiled selfishness even exhibited in her as a child, albeit not nearly to their later extremes, and as Riliane matured it seemed to vanish entirely. Although Riliane at the world's end at first appeared to be as bratty as she was before, she later used her sense of pride to fuel her self-confidence instead of her cruelty.
Her selfishness was compounded by the effects of the Demon of Pride; influenced to act as an HER, Riliane saw no value in others' lives and never questioned any decision or request she ever made, no matter what it was. As a result, she ruled her people without any regard for their suffering, readily executed servants, and thought nothing of even large scale atrocities. Riliane justified this with a stratified worldview, believing that inequality was necessary for society to function. She also, however, hid an undercurrent of insecurity, often feeling that she was all alone while at the "top" of society due to losing her parents and, subconsciously, her twin Alexiel.
Despite all this, Riliane as a young child was nonetheless kind, gentle, assertive, and loving. After being freed of her possession, this kindness in Riliane was allowed to gradually develop in the humble setting of the monastery. Burdened with guilt over her past behavior and adopting Levin principles, she grew into a nurturing figure and respected all life, and all people, equally. Similarly, after the world's end Riliane shared her affluence with everyone from her time period with a party, rather than only trying to show off her power to the elites. She also began to take the initiative in doing things for herself, rather than having other people do things for her.
Riliane maintained a haughty and proper facade, wishing to appear like a strong queen so as to prevent herself from being manipulated again; despite this, when not in public she was prone to sporadic and childish tantrums if displeased, or flat apathy if bored. Riliane also would act more casually with those that she liked, with her cheerful and girlish behavior a stark contrast to her murderous whims. As she matured, Riliane became calmer in personality; although she remained occasionally rude by nature, she continued to observe propriety in her duties when appropriate. Riliane also, through the whole of her life, loved sweets and brioche in particular.
Queen Ahames[]
Queen Ahames (simply known as Ahames) is a general of the Great Star League Gozma serving as the second lead commander of their Earth invasion fleet and a major antagonist in Dengeki Sentai Changeman.
Queen Ahames is the former queen of Planet Amazo (アマゾ星 Amazo-sei) who had been recruited by Star King Bazoo to lead his Gozma forces. However she has no interest in working with the space master and worked alongside General Giluke in assassinating him. After the attempt failed, Ahames mysteriously disappeared to work on other Gozma functions, to the point that Giluke had no idea where she was until Space Beast Marzo states that Ahames gives her greetings, making him know that she was still alive out there.
Ahames finally arrives on Earth, but does so on her own terms: creating a "flying ghost ship" which appears over the Dutch Quarter of Nagasaki, she ends up luring both the Gozma and the Changeman to her. During initial assaults, she easily defeats Shou after disguising herself as a worker at the Dutch park, then captures Adjutant Booba when the Gozma head down to investigate how several Hidrers were not working for them. Showing no loyalty to anyone, Ahames easily takes down the Changeman while eluding and defeating the Gozma trying to get close to her by order of Bazoo and Giluke. Ultimately, she reveals that she returned to Bazoo to regain his trust, which he states he'll only give if she defeats the Changeman. However, after Tsurugi and Shou disable her ghost ship illusion, the Changeman defeat her forces and Ahames decides to stay on Earth to keep her promise for Bazoo. However, Bazoo severely punishes her for her failure and likewise forbid her from teaming up with Giluke, knowing that they would turn against him again if they reunited.
Upon hearing of the power of the Rigel Aura emitted by young girls of planet Rigel for reaching maturity, Ahames heads to Earth with a squadron of Space Beasts to claim it for her own. After holding off the Changeman and Giluke, she bathes within the Rigel Aura of Nana to gain the super power it possesses. Ep. 32: Nana! Dangerous Reunion Ep. 33: The End of Giluke!? This super power gives her two abilities that give the Changeman even further problems: the "Hard Wall" which is impossible to break, and the "Hard Attack" which allows for her to seal off the Earth Force within the Changeman's own bodies. With her new powers and Giluke's banishment from the Gozma force, Bazoo gives her complete control of the Earth invasion which she uses to easily crush the heroes over and over. It is only after rededicating themselves that they awaken the full power of their Earth Force, allowing for them to break through Ahames' super power with ease. Ep. 34: Ahames the Terrible Ep. 36: Behold! Our Power
Though ruling the Gozma Earth invasion force on her own, she begins to become bothered with Giluke returning as a ghost swearing revenge on her alongside the Changeman. Ahames desires the elimination of Giluke and even attempts to fight against him and take away means by which he can fight back, such as trying to abduct or even kill Nana to prevent him from using her Rigel Aura for himself. But Bazoo reprimands Ahames, allowing for Giluke to get away with his plans believing that his tenacity to survive after "death" would be interesting to see and not seeing any results from Ahames' battles. Helpless, she is forced to see Giluke finally return as Super Giluke, giving her another problem to deal with alongside the heroes.
Eventually, with all of the minions defected or killed, Ahames, against her will, is ultimately turned into Space Beast Maze by a combination of Giluke and Bazoo at the cost of her sanity. Having experience her service as an Ugly Space Beast Soldier, Maze uses super-sonic powers to discover the EDF Dengeki Squadron base, which she invades before being deflected by Ibuki, who reveals his own alien heritage to stop her. In the midst of the battle, Ahames splits from Maze to invade Dengeki Squadron base while chaotically destroying everything in her path. As the base explodes around her, she yells out over and over for Bazoo to restore planet Amazo with herself as her rightful ruler for her supposed victory. Ahames' last act of insanity shrieks Bazoo's name as the destruction of the base consumes her to her death.
Esdeath[]
.full.2397278.jpg){kind=link}
General Esdeath (simply known as Esdeath) is the secondary antagonist of the manga, Akame Ga Kill!, and the 2014 anime adaptation of the same name. She is a high-ranking general of the Empire, one of the most powerful Teigu users in the world and the leader of the Jaegers. Esdeath was responsible for the deaths of millions of people in the north of the country and several other conflicts and war on account of the rebellion against the Empire. She has committed the second largest number of horrible atrocities of any member of the Empire, behind Prime Minister Honest himself.
Esdeath was a sadistic, barbarous and manipulative woman who lacks empathy for people of whom she deems weak. Ever since she was motivated by her father's philosophy ("The strong survive and the weak die"), she has gone through torturous activities that involve putting her enemies through great pain, both physically and emotionally. She has no qualms about killing innocent people to get what she wants, and rationalizes her behavior with her father's old creed.
Despite all of this, Esdeath has shown a genuine and charismatic side of her. She is known for treating her subordinates fair and well, and being for them when they're in angst, a good example being when Esdeath embraced Seryu while she mourned over the death of her colleague. By letting them do as they please, this in turn inspires their intense loyalty and devotion towards her, making her followers the strongest offensive force of the Empire. This side of her truly shines when expressing her love for Tatsumi, in which she offers a warm and comforting affection for him, even swearing to protect him from anyone that dare harms him and willing to clear up his name as a member of the Night Raid.
Esdeath has also shown to be quite honorable, as she enjoys to challenge an opponent that can give her a great battle. She holds special respect for strong opponents, which she shows when she openly recognizes Susanoo as a warrior rather than a simple Teigu. She also ultimately accepted her death when bested by Akame. Though because of this, she has a bloodlusted mindset that puts her in position of committing actions that would incite more hatred against the empire, in the hopes of being able to put down more rebellions. She has even stated that should the empire fall, she would simply start a war herself to satisfy her need for bloodshed.
Although she is unabashedly bloodthirsty and heartless, she keeps it from from dominating her judgment. If she sees that the battle is too much for her soldiers, she orders a retreat and doesn't risk heavy losses. While she will torture subordinates who fail, she can be forgiving to failed servitors, provided that they aren't complete failures, and gives them the benefit of the doubt if the failure wasn't their fault. However, this is later proven to be nothing more than facade of a psychotic, bloodlusted maniac, as shown during the final battle against the Revolutionary Army where she uses her real trump card to cover the Empire in a Russian Winter.
Najenda notes that such a technique puts Esdeath's subordinates, as well as their families, at risk, but regardless of that, Esdeath ultimately didn't care as she responds with a wicked smile. On top of that, she rationalizes her actions with her belief of social darwinism, showing her cruelty and depravity.
Interestingly, prior to the final battle, Esdeath spoke of dedicating the battle in the fallen Jaegers group's memory. This is shown more clearly when she initially disregarded Seryu's demise, while internally admitted to missing them greatly and envisions the entire group in her memory. This shows that while she would put her men and their families at risk, she does fondly recall her subordinates, who she looked as more than just some lackey; especially those in comparison to Liver, Nyau and Daidara. Ultimately, despite her atrocious behavior, she secretly holds genuine regard for the people she loves and cares for.
She was voiced by Satomi Akesaka in the Japanese dubbed version of the anime, and by Christine Auten in the English dubbed version.
Draco Malfoy[]
Draco Lucius Malfoy (b. 5 June 1980) was a pure-blood wizard and the only son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy (née Black). The son of a Death Eater, Draco was raised to believe strongly in the importance of blood purity. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1991-1998 and was sorted into Slytherin House. During his years at Hogwarts, he became friends with Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Pansy Parkinson, and other fellow Slytherins, but he quickly developed a rivalry with Harry Potter.
He was made a prefect of his house and was a member of the Inquisitorial Squad during his fifth year, at the end of which his father was imprisoned in Azkaban following the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. Lord Voldemort charged Draco with making up for Lucius's failure, and he became a Death Eater at age sixteen, but was quickly disillusioned with the lifestyle. Draco was unable to complete his task — murdering Albus Dumbledore, which was taken over by Severus Snape — and only performed his other duties fearfully and reluctantly. He and his family defected hours before the end of the Second Wizarding War fearing for their lives.
By 2017, Draco had married Astoria Greengrass and had one child, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy.
Queen Azshara[]
Queen Azshara was the beloved queen of the Night Elves 10,000 years ago and was one of the main causes of the War of the Ancients. In World of Warcraft, she appears as a supporting flashback antagonist in Cataclysm, a supporting antagonist of Legion and will appear as presumably one of the main antagonists in the upcoming Battle for Azeroth.
She is voiced by Laura Post, who also voiced Harley Quinn in Batman: The Enemy Within and Ragyo Kiryuin in the English dub of Kill la Kill.
Azshara is the queen of the naga ruling from the underwater city of Nazjatar. Once the beloved ruler of the Kaldorei Empire over ten thousand years ago, she was entrancingly beautiful and beloved by her people. When her Highborne made contact with the Dark Titan Sargeras and his Burning Legion, she accepted his offer to cleanse her world of the impure, of the inferior races. The Highborne and the demons worked together to summon the full might of the Legion and their master on Azeroth through the Well of Eternity, but their efforts were thwarted by the night elven rebellion.
The Well of Eternity was destabilized, and collapsed, swallowing immense swathes of land with it in an event known as the Great Sundering. Azshara and many of her Highborne followers fell into the depths of the newly created sea, and would have drowned if not for the intervention of the Old Gods. They forged a pact, and saved the night elves by transforming them into the serpentine naga, a price they would pay by becoming their servants.
Azshara will be a boss in the second raid of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. She will be the equivalent to Gul'dan at the Nighthold raid.
