[[caption-width-right:350:The one and only "Dark Adonis"]]
The foppish, self-proclaimed "Dark Adonis" who has a penchant for [[GratuitousFrench random French]], Vyers was quickly dubbed "Mid-Boss" by Laharl just before he had his ass handed to him in a humiliating defeat. He appears at the most inopportune times to challenge Laharl and regain some semblance of dignity. Overall, he appears to be a total ditz, though [[ObfuscatingStupidity he may know more than he lets on...]]

[[folder:King Krichevskoy '''*MASSIVE SPOILERS*''']]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/TomomichiNishimura (JP, Hour of Darkness), Creator/ChihiroSuzuki (JP, Anime and Disgaea 4), Creator/GrantGeorge (EN)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krichevskoy.png]]
The former Overlord of the Netherworld, two years prior to the game he died, and its the resulting power vacuum that forms the major conflicts in the first half of the game. [[spoiler:It's heavily implied, and outright stated in creation materials, that he has been reborn as Vyers.]]

* AFatherToHisMen: His most loyal vassals have quite fond memories of him, and many mourn him. For Etna, he practically was her father and the only family she knew for a long time.
* AngelicBeauty: [[spoiler:In the light novel ''Disgaea: Returned'', Krichevskoy makes his return as an angel. While he's much more conservatively dressed than his time as Mid Boss, he's no less pretty.]]
* AnIcePerson: He celebrated Laharl's birth by freezing the ocean! Also, his first skill in ''Disgaea 4'', Freezing Knuckle, is literally Laharl's Blazing Knuckle with ice instead of fire.
* AscendedDemon: [[spoiler:When he returns in the ''Disgaea: Returned'' light novel, he is no longer a demon but an angel.]]
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:His friendship with Seraph Lamington allowed him to do so.]]
* BadassCape: King Krichevskoy had a nice red cape.
* BenevolentBoss: Easily the one of the kindest demons to work for. Three years may have passed since his rule but most of his vassals still wish he was their Overlord.
* BerserkButton: As kind and patient as he is, there are a few things that can set him off. One of them is trying to steal his black pretzels, which got Maderas kicked out of the castle.
* BerserkerTears: When his wife killed herself, he split the earth in half in grief.
* BladeOnAStick: He was a spear user. This changes in Disgaea 4, where he has proficiencies in swords and fists.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Krichevskoy was able to stop Baal from conquering his netherworld, but received fatal wounds in the process.]]
* BumblingDad: King Krichevskoy was a respectable and great man overall according to those that knew him, but [[spoiler:when he is acting as the Dark Adonis he evidently turn himself into this.]] In the manga, Laharl's flashbacks of Krichevskoy portray him as a kooky father who often annoys Laharl with his attempts to bond with him.
* CapeWings: According to artbooks.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: His vassals note that when he gets overly emotional, he doesn't bother to control his power, leading to various natural disasters throughout the Netherworld such as the toppling of mountains, the freezing of oceans, and the earth splitting apart. Though, as Flonne puts it, they're technically not natural.
-->'''Flonne:''' ...Wouldn't you consider those to be ''artificial'' disasters...?
* DoppelgangerAttack: In ''Disgaea 4'', Krichevskoy creates doppelgangers to fight with him at the end of the Netherworld Battle Tournament and his Majestic Shot brings together his doppelgangers to pound the unfortunate victim into submission. [[spoiler:This seems to be an ability that has been carried over from his time as Vyers (or perhaps an ability he's had all along) with Majestic Shot being a re-skinned Adonic Fury.]]
* DotingParent: We never see Laharl spend much time with Krichevskoy, but according to Etna he thought of Laharl's best until the very end, even though Laharl outright claimed he hated his old man. He also held great faith in Laharl, going so far as to [[spoiler:put Etna and Flonne in charge of looking out for him to ensure that he succeeds, even after his death.]]
* TheGoodKing: King Krichevskoy was kind, honourable and well-intentioned. He also seems to have an aura of melancholy surrounding him in Laharl and Etna's flashback.
* HairAntennae[=/=]OjouRinglets: King Krichevskoy's antennas were shaped like ringlets at the tip. He regains longer ones in Disgaea 4.
* InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler:His wife was a human witch who came to the Netherworld to study.]]
* LastRequest: As Krichevskoy was dying, he [[spoiler:asked Etna to raise his son to become the next overlord, a request that's difficult for her to stomach, but ultimately achieves.]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: With Laharl's mother, according to Etna.
* ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex: King Krichevskoy had the power to knock down mountains, froze oceans and split the ground in two, while his wife was [[spoiler:a [[SquishyWizard human witch trainee]].]]
* MayflyDecemberRomance: We never get to know how old King Krichevskoy is, but he is a long time friend of [[spoiler:Seraph Lamington]] who is 9147 years old, and Krichevskoy does not look younger than him. He got married to a [[spoiler:human girl]] who looked no older than 20.
** D2 shows this may not have been the case as [[spoiler: Laharl's full blood related sister is over 300 years younger then he is and was born when his mother died making the 20 year old looking human at least 300 years old]]
* MysteriousParent: He's got some 'interesting' parenting methods.
* OminousWalk: Krichevskoy's Blazing Rush starts with him slowly marching towards his frightened opponents before delivering a world of hurt on them. For added awesomeness, flames erupt from under his feet with each step.
* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: Extremely beloved by his vassals, at least the ones who were loyal to him anyway.
%%* PhysicalGod
* PromotedToPlayable: While [[spoiler:his identity as Mid Boss]] has been made playable, Krichevskoy himself has never been playable in any game prior to ''VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten'' (he wasn't even given a sprite). Once he reclaimed his indentity as Krichevskoy, with all the dignity and power that entails, he was made playable for the first time ever after defeating him in ''Disgaea 4's'' Netherbattle Tournament.
* PurposelyOverpowered: With the first game talking about how he was such a powerful Overlord, if he was to ever be playable, he'd have to be strong enough to uphold his legend. So Creator/NipponIchi did just that when he made his DLC appearance in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 4|APromiseUnforgotten}}'', giving him upgraded versions of Laharl's evilities (Especially his innate evility which increases special attack damage by ''50%'' over Laharl's 20%) and stats and aptitudes on par with the equally overpowered Tyrant Valvatorez.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: This goes for practically every noble character in the series, but King Krichevskoy especially as he did much more when just fight, he created the Dark Assembly and fought for equality between every creature, [[spoiler:he even died protecting his world from Baal by sealing him.]]
* SatanIsGood: Satan is never mentioned in the Disgaea series, but the closest physical equivalent are the Overlords, and Overlord Krichevskoy was not only good but also a longtime friends with [[spoiler:the physical [[OmniscientMoralityLicense God]] equivalent Seraph Lamington. Amusingly, Lamington and possibly Krichevskoy both answer to God.]]
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Admits to pulling strings with friends in high places to [[spoiler:cheat death]].
* SecondLove: In the novels, his wife was previously married before falling into the Netherworld.
* SharpDressedMan: Not in the usual since, but King Krichevskoy was a rather well, if not strangely, dressed man.
* SimpleStaff: King Krichevskoy was suppose to have a staff shaped like a long rose according to The world of Disgaea artbook.
* SomethingAboutARose: According to the ''World of Disgaea'' artbook, he had a rose ring and a staff tipped with a rose.
* TalkingWeapon: Krichevskoy's weapon, Longinus the talking spear.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: His black pretzels. Maderas stealing them gets the guy thrown out of his castle and choking on them lead to his death. [[spoiler:That last part is a lie, though.]]
* UndignifiedDeath: He ''choked to death'' on a black pretzel. [[spoiler: At least, that's what he wanted people to believe. The truth was that he sealed away [[EldritchAbomination Baal]] but suffered fatal wounds in the process.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about Krichevskoy without the truth about his death and [[spoiler:him being Mid Boss]]. His much younger looking form in ''Disgaea 4'' [[LateArrivalSpoiler especially]] gives away TheReveal.

[[folder:Krichevskoy's Vassals]]
A group of six vassals that once served under King Krichevskoy. Outside of a potential threat from an Overlord from another world, they do nothing but lounge around the Overlord Castle's and make jokes at Laharl's expense. These vassals include Zommie the Zombie, Ghoss the Ghost, Gargo the Gargoyle, Dratti the Dragon, Manty the Manticore (Dragon Zombie in ''Complete''), and Goleck the Golem.
----

[[folder:Sardia]]
->"My sword hath slayeth over 2000 demons...or, was it under 2000?"

A (supposedly) legendary demonslayer who appears in Chapter 6 to kill Laharl and any other aspiring demons who show up to take the title of Overlord.

* AscendedExtra: She only appears in a single stage in Episode 6 and is nothing more than a PaletteSwap of the Knight class. In the anime, she gets an episode all to herself where she tries to trap Laharl to collect the bounty on him. She is also given a slightly different outfit and a ponytail.
* BadassBoast: She proclaims she killed over 2,000 demons and the earth rips asunder when she swings her sword. She then undermines them by admitting she may be mistaken about her skills.
* FakeUltimateHero: She's nowhere near as powerful or mighty as she boasts.
* MagicKnight: As a Knight class, she has magic skills in tandem with powerful sword attacks.
* OneManArmy: You fight her by herself; she doesn't need anyone else, even 10-on-1 she's going to mess you up. She also might have killed 2,000 demons, it's hard to judge.
* RunningGag: She makes proclamations about how badass she is, only to start doubting the validity of her boasts. Her episode in the anime runs with the gag so much that Etna and Flonne end the gag for her a couple of times.
* YeOldeButcheredEnglish: See her page quote again. Very likely intentionally butchered considering the series.

[[folder:'''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''']]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/NobuoTobita (JP), Creator/{{Michael McConnohie}} (EN)
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d1GordonArt2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:225: ForGreatJustice!.]]
On Earth, he was a courageous and celebrated hero that descends from a long line of equally courageous and celebrated heroes. In the Netherworld, he's Laharl's recently acquired and usually mistreated slave thanks to an ill-placed bet on his victory. Even so, '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' is a HotBlooded LargeHam with a complete inability to keep quiet. As such, he will give his all in ''anything'' he does.

* BadassNormal: Gameplay-wise, he's really good with an axe and has some powerful skills, but within the story, he tends to be dismissed quite easily. It's implied in the boss fight against him that Laharl actually had to work at beating him harder than expected, however.
* TheBigGuy: He's handy with axes to rack up huge damage.
* BoisterousBruiser: He's always got an upbeat speech ready for whatever situation presents itself, peppered with "Ha-ha-haaa!"'s.
* ButtMonkey: Gordon pretty much exists to be humiliated and made fun of.
* CallingYourAttacks: He punctuates his unique moves with "Gordon Finish!"
* CaptainErsatz: Of ComicStrip/FlashGordon
* CaptainSpaceDefenderOfEarth: The TropeNamer.
* TheDitz: Gordon's stupidity is only rivaled by Flonne's, but it's a close call.
%%* TheGoodCaptain
* HotBlooded: Gordon is endlessly shouting, hammy, and eager to defend the earth.
* IdiotHero: He's worse than ''[[TheDitz Flonne]]'' in this regard.
-->'''Laharl:''' Aren't you happy, Flonne? There's someone even dumber than you.
* JusticeWillPrevail: He even says so in his ultimate move.
* LanternJawOfJustice: Has a prominently square jaw to emphasize his status as a stock pulp hero.
* LargeHam: Loud, boisterous, and dramatic.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Anthem of Braves".
%%* LordErrorProne
* MadeASlave: By Laharl.
* MightyGlacier: He's bulky enough to hold choke points.
* NoIndoorVoice: Even his relatively normal voice is quite loud and boisterous.
* ShoutOut: He's a pretty a blatant parody of ComicStrip/FlashGordon.
* SmallNameBigEgo: His ego rivals even Laharl's, but his powers do not.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He loves his pizza. Teriyaki Pizza to be specific.
* TwinkleSmile: Has one in his portrait.
* WhatTheHellHero - Episode 12: [[spoiler:When the EDF arrives to conquer the Netherworld, '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' stubbornly holds the assumption that they came to rescue the Defenders of Earth despite the overwhelming evidence of them [[UnwittingPawn being used]] and when Jennifer tried to directly warn him, he instead decides to dismiss Jennifer as his Assistant (causing Jennifer's HeroicBSOD) only to completely regret it a [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness few moments]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone later]].]]

[[folder:Jennifer]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/ChiwaSaito (JP), Paula Tiso (EN)
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d1JenniferArt.png]]
Sidekick of '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' Jennifer is busty, blonde, scantily clad and, against the rest of the group's expectations, brilliant. Jennifer is thoroughly skilled in subjects ranging from Robotics to Martial Arts and generally serves as the brains for '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' Though technically in the same predicament as he, Jennifer seems to have gotten the much better deal out of it, likely because Laharl vehemently refuses to stand within five feet of her. As such, she seems to enjoy pushing Laharl's buttons and is something of a CoolBigSis for Flonne and Etna. Considering her initial talk of tentacle demons, she seems to have a rather [[CovertPervert dirty mind]].

* AnalProbing: Jennifer ask Laharl and co. if the demons (who basically are aliens in the Franchise/{{Disgaea}} universe) anal probed them. [[EvenEvilHasStandards He takes offense]].
* BadassNormal: Like Gordon, she's just a normal human from earth, but she can throw down with extra-dimensional demons.
* BareYourMidriff: Between her bikini top and shorts, her stomach and upper torso are fully visible.
* BuxomIsBetter: Laharl calls Jennifer sexy specifically because she got big breasts, subverted trope because he does not think it makes her better at all.
* CharacterExaggeration: In the Anime, her {{Gainaxing}} tendencies are greatly exaggerated.
* CoolBigSis: To the rest of the party, as she sees them as children who need a big sister to take care of them.
* CovertPervert: She's ''very'' flirty with Laharl, is eager to give him TheTalk, and when discussing the things the demons of the Netherworld might do to her (such as the aforementioned AnalProbing), she sounds more curious than frightened.
* DumbBlonde: Subverted. She looks and acts like one, but she's actually [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]] and just happens to be a BunnyEarsLawyer.
%%* GagBoobs
* GeniusBruiser: She's not just a physical powerhouse, she's also a scientist.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:The result of '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''''s WhatTheHellHero moment. She gets better soon after [[HeelFaceTurn Kurtis']] HeroicSacrifice.]]
* HotScientist: She's a scientist who also walks around in little clothing to show off her buxom body.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: The plot makes her out to be stronger than Gordon, amongst all the other things she does better than him.
* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: She is adopted though.
* MsFanservice: She's ''very'' busty and curvy, and walks around in shorts and a bikini top.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: By [[ImprobableAge age 10]] she evidently managed to acquire a [=PhD=] in every branch of science.
* PhenotypeStereotype: American? Most likely (in [[LightNovel/DisgaeaNovels the novels]] they do live in [[{{Eagleland}} America]]). Blond hair and blue eyes? Duh.
* ShipperOnDeck: In the game and anime, Jennifer has shown shades of this regarding Laharl's relationship with Flonne. In ''VisualNovel/DisgaeaInfinite'', however, she takes it UpToEleven by being a shipper for almost ''every'' demon who passes by her.
** In the [[LightNovel/DisgaeaNovels novels]] she quite noticeably ships Laharl and Flonne, even though her own daughter is in love with him.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: In the novels, she's married to Gordon.
* SmarterThanYouLook: She "obtained every [=PhD=] by the age of ten," though her appearance wouldn't give you that impression.
%%* TheSmartGuy
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Shorts and a bikini top.
* TheTalk: She likes teaching sex-ed, according to ''VideoGame/{{Prinny|CanIReallyBeTheHero}} 2''.
** She tries to give Laharl TheTalk in the original game, just flustering Laharl worse. Etna isn't amused with it either.
* TheTease: She loves to tease Laharl, how serious she is about it is anyone's guess...
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She hates Sea Cucumbers according to ''VisualNovel/DisgaeaInfinite''. [[CovertPervert Given the above]], take that as you will...

[[caption-width-right:225: BEEP BEEP BLIP BEEP]]
A multi-purpose super robot built by Jennifer at [[ImprobableAge the age of 5]]. Ultra-powerful (in gameplay, too) and able to provide whatever service the characters might need at a given time.

* BackFromTheDead: Or rather, the permanently offline.
* DayOfTheWeekName: For whatever reason, he's called "Thursday".
* DeadpanSnarker: Because it doesn't ''get'' more deadpan than a robot voice.
* DoAnythingRobot: He's a multi-purpose robot, after all.
* {{Expy}}: Of Robby the Robot from ''Film/ForbiddenPlanet''.
* ICanStillFight: He refuses to stand by while his friends are fighting, no matter what condition he's in.
* MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat: Provided this lovely quote:

GORDON KEEPS STARING AT JENNIFER'S THIGHS. PERVERT PERVERT PERVERT...
* RobotBuddy: To the human duo of Gordon and Jennifer.
* SelfDestructMechanism: His "Arigato Roboto" move, where he sacrifices himself to wipe out a circle of enemies.
* UnskilledButStrong: Thursday cannot transmigrate (meaning he can't reset his level to increase stat bonuses) nor does he have a weapon mastery. However, aside from RES he has 150% aptitude in all fields, letting him get ridiculously higher stat boosts from equip items than other characters.
* VerbalTic: BEEP BEEP BLIP BEEP.

[[quoteright:248:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Big_Sister_Prinny_2_8762.png]]
A mysterious red Prinny that works in the Overlord's castle, usually seen tending to the other prinnies. Her acts as a human before she become a prinny turns out to have huge ramifications on the plot.

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: In ''Disgaea D2'', [[spoiler:Lamington reveals that she actually had the potential to become an angel instead of becoming a Prinny. She gave that chance to Sicily instead, thus why she is a Prinny while Sicily is a Demon Angel.]]
* TheAtoner: ''All'' Prinnies are, but Big Sis really feels bad about what happened.
* ButNowIMustGo: At the end of episode 8, her soul along with the souls of the rest of the Prinnies are taken by Death to be cleansed by the Red Moon. Flonne questions why she must do so, [[spoiler:especially since she all but outright stated that she was Laharl's Mom all along. She argues that it's best for both her and Laharl to part ways so that the two of them can move on without regrets.]]
* CoolBigSis: Her status among Laharl and Etna's Prinnies.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Had brown hair and eyes when she was alive.
* CuteWitch: Was one in life.
* DivineDate: Her marriage to [[spoiler:King Krichevskoy.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: She performed one, which is why she's a prinny; [[SuicideIsShameful taking her own life is a most grievous sin]]. [[spoiler:''D2'' retcons this. She could have become an angel because it truly was a "heroic" sacrifice, but she chose to become a prinny so her unborn child Sicily can become an angel instead, fulfilling the trope anew.]]
* LoveFreak: According to Etna, [[spoiler:she was lecturing Laharl about love before Flonne appeared on the scene.]]
* NoNameGiven: Her name is never given in any of the games, though the tie-in novels reveal her name to be [[spoiler:[[Myth/ArthurianLegend Gwen]]]].
* PassingTheTorch: She remained a Prinny in order to [[spoiler:watch over Laharl]]. Now that [[spoiler:he has Flonne to guide him]], she can pass on properly without regrets.
* ThePowerOfLove: She was only able to [[spoiler:save Laharl's life]] because she loved him.
* SadisticChoice: ''VideoGame/DisgaeaD2'' reveals that [[spoiler:when Laharl was sick with his deadly illness, she was also pregnant with Sicily at the time, meaning that she had to choose between letting Laharl die and saving Sicily, or killing herself to save Laharl, which would also kill Sicily.]] Luckily, she managed to take a [[TakeAThirdOption bittersweet third option.]]
* TakeMeInstead: Twice, she gives up her life to save someone else that ought to die in her place.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: She is pink and got eyelashes; she is most definitely a girl.
* VerbalTic: Averted. Unlike most Prinnies, she ''doesn't'' have one. When Flonne points this out, she quickly tries to force a "dood" into her sentences.
* WizardsLiveLonger: We never get her exact age, [[spoiler: but there is a 376 year difference between the ages of her children.]] That said, infinite states that time flows differently in the Netherworld, implying years are just much shorter there or it's an "Day inside hour outside" type deal" and humans that go there live to the age the would if they were outside.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Again, her human form.

[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/disgaea1_antoire.jpg]]
A servant of Maderas, appearing only in Etna Mode.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Betray her boss and join Etna after being defeated in battle.
* HornyDevils: She is from the Succubus class.

[[quoteright:147:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sicily.png]]
[[caption-width-right:147:I'm King Krichevskoy's daughter!]]

An angel from Celestia who claims to be Laharl's younger sister. She appears in his castle proclaiming she's the one entitled to be the Overlord instead of him, though Sicily tags along with him during his quest to crush the Krichevskoy Group.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She doesn't have any friends in Celestia due to [[spoiler:being a rare "Demon Angel" girl who was given angel status by her human mother giving up her own reincarnation as an angel so Sicily - daughter to demon Krichevskoy - could live.]]
* BadassAdorable: She's a cute little girl but just as strong in battle as any other angel or demon.
* BigBrotherWorship: After losing to Laharl in Episode 2. One of her voice clips after performing an attack is "Did you see that, Big Brother?"
* BornOfHeavenAndHell: [[spoiler:Revealed by Virunga to be a "Demon Angel". This is due to Laharl's Mom, who was pregnant with Sicily at the time, refusing the chance to become an angel and gave it to Sicily instead.]]
* CutenessProximity: She loves Prinnies and finds them absolutely adorable.
* TheCutie: Sweet, lovable, and, of course, cute. When she first meeting Laharl, she tries to play it up by using her cuteness and the cookies she baked in order to get him to give up the title of Overlord. Unfortunately for her, all it does is piss him off.
* EvilLaugh: While never heard, the artwork for the Overlord Sicily ending shows her imitating Laharl's laugh, complete with BadassArmfold.
* FriendlessBackground: She had no friends back in Celestia and laments not having been born in the Netherworld with Laharl. [[spoiler:That's because of Sicily's status as a "Demon Angel", [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer which made the other angels distance themselves away from her.]]]]
* GirlInABox: Sicily arrived at the Overlord's Castle in a package. [[NoSenseOfDirection She did so because she did't want to get lost.]] Also, her 'Sicily Delivery' special attack involves putting targeted enemies in a box, rushing it to the South Pole, and then [[WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove smashing it with a hammer.]]
* HairAntennae: According to the artbook, she does have antennae similar to Laharl's, but she tied the antennae into the bow seen in the picture above.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She is willing to trade her life for all the angels Xenolith kidnapped, but Laharl tries to prevent her from going through with it. [[NonStandardGameOver If the player is unable to defeat Xenolith in the final battle]], however, she does go through with it, leaving behind her heartbroken brother.]]
* LamarckWasRight: Her first skill, Angelic Knuckle, is very much like Laharl's Blazing Knuckle and Krichevskoy's Freezing Knuckles except she gathers [[HolyHandGrenade angelic energy]] into her fists .
* LongLostSibling: Claims to be this, but everyone is skeptical, especially because Laharl was an only child when his Mom sacrificed herself to save his life and there's no way a demon and a human can give birth to an angel. [[spoiler:Turns out his Mom was pregnant with Sicily when she sacrificed her life and Sicily was given life when their mother passed on the chance to become an angel so that Sicily may live.]]
%%* LittleMissBadass
* MythologyGag:
** A mysterious young girl tries to claim the throne and claims to be Laharl's younger sister? Maharl already did that in the [[Anime/MakaiSenkiDisgaea Disgaea anime]][[note]]Laharl was intended to have a sister in the first game, but was ultimately cut out[[/note]] [[spoiler:Unlike Maharl, who was revealed to be a fake, Sicily really is Laharl's sister.]]
** Episode 2 is itself a repeat of the first game where Laharl chases down an angel who's usurping him through an ice level. It even ends with Sicily summoning dragons and doing the same angelic incantations as Flonne did before.
* NaiveNewcomer: Having spent all her life in Celestia, she's naturally put off by the more negative aspects of demons like their selfishness and their propensity for violence, which is why she's initially more comfortable with Flonne.
* NiceGirl: Sicily is an absolute sweetheart.
* {{Otaku}}: Just like Flonne, but she's more mellow about it. She watches Effort Ninja Gorillian with Flonne and is able to recognize Flonne's MagicalGirlWarrior outfit as that of Pure Pink from the Pure Seven Morphing Angels.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Namely the fact she's a demon-angel hybrid.]]
* PutOnABus: She's not a GuestFighter in any form in ''VideoGame/Disgaea6DefianceOfDestiny'' despite her trio being recruitable.
* SpellBook: Sicily's most proficient weapon.
* SupremeChef: Not only is she the only one among Laharl, Etna, and Flonne to possess cooking talent, but she is capable of making exact replicas of dishes.
* TokenMiniMoe: The youngest character of the main cast of ''A Brighter Darkness''.

[[quoteright:151:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barbara_disgaea.png]]
[[caption-width-right:151:Your orders?]]

The Krichevskoy Group's candidate to become the next Overlord. Barbara may look very imposing, but she only does anything if she's ordered to do so by her superiors and enemies alike.

* BerserkButton: Her whole life is orders and carrying out those orders, so pleading her to do a favor is a good way to piss her off. She also dislikes perverted orders.
-->'''Prinny''': You'll follow any order right, dood? Then can I give you some perverted orders?
-->'''Barbara''': If you want to risk your life, go ahead and try it.
* BladeOnAStick: Barbara's WeaponOfChoice.
* BoobsOfSteel: She's very busty and a very powerful physical warrior.
* CatchPhrase: "[[NoYou The one who calls someone else X is the true X!]]"
* CrazyCatLady: Her post-game maps have her serving a horde of Slumber Cats, which you must defeat to re-recruit her. She likes them because, being cats, they think nothing of simply demanding food and attention from her without ever expecting her to think for herself.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Because she has been conditioned to follow orders all her life, she has no thoughts of her own and has trouble thinking for herself. [[spoiler:Laharl eventually makes her his vassal so that she may find that answer, though it's clear later on that he just wants to make good use of her obedience.]] Her obedience is so bad, that it actually causes her internal conflict and despair to even try to think on her own or have opinions. This even leads to her interpreting motions from a cat as demands and orders, and jumps on it without a second thought.
* TheDragon: To the Krichevskoy Group, however [[DragonInChief she's much stronger than them and they rely on her to fight Laharl]].
* HatesBeingAlone: According to the [[AllThereintheManual D2 special edition artwork]] one of the things she hates besides thinking for herself is being alone. It would explain why she would go to the cats for comfort post game.
* LawfulStupid: She follows any order to the letter, even if it's a really bad idea to do so. [[spoiler:When the Krichevskoy Group orders her not to let Laharl past, she continues to carry out that order even when her bosses are being pulled into a dark vortex and Laharl declares he wants to save them.]]
* LiteralMinded: She can be ordered to fight. Be ordered to win said fight? She won't win if she's not ordered to do it! And if her orders are too vague to her, she won't carry it out.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Claims that she wasn't even using half her strength against Laharl the first time because she wasn't ordered to defeat him. Her being at a [[SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration higher level]] in the second fight helps justify her claims.
* JustFollowingOrders: This is taken to the extremes with her. It does, however, allow her to be the ''only character'' to ever carry out one of [[VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice Salvatore's]] crazy orders in the DLC.
* MightyGlacier: She's basically an [[StoneWall Armor Knight]] that excels at dishing out and taking damage. This stems from her evility: Barbara is encouraged to use the defend command because it provides a massive boost to both her attack and defense power, and it guarantees her to counter any attack.
%%* ThongOfShielding: Much like the rest of the Heavy Knights in the game.
* TooDumbToLive: One of the bad endings shows that even when her life is in danger, she won't act unless ordered to do so.

!!!Rainier is voiced by: Sachika Misawa (JP), Jessica Straus (EN)
!!!Garungun is voiced by: Creator/HiroshiNaka (JP), Creator/JamiesonPrice (EN)

A faction made up of previous vassals devoted to upholding the late King Krichevskoy's legacy, seeing Laharl as unworthy of the throne. The three leaders are Grosso the Gargoyle, Rainier the Sea Angel, and Garungun the Golem.

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:They along with Virunga help clear the way for the Disgaea trio so they can go after Xenolith.]]
* BuxomIsBetter: Rainier, who used to babysit Laharl when he was a baby. Her good looks would have killed him.
* TheChessmaster: They openly admit that they're using Barbara's skills so she becomes the Overlord who will take their orders without talking back. She doesn't complain about it.
* CloudCuckooLander: Garungun, who assumes there's a Majin sealed in his left arm and that only people with evil eyes can see his wings.
* DeadpanSnarker: Rainier. Not a second goes by without her snarking.
* EliteMook: All three of them belong into generic monster classes, but have traits that stand out from the generic monsters. Grosso is a golden Gargoyle with a hat and glasses, Grosso is a red Golem with a scar, chains and wrapped-up left arm, and Rainier is the only known grown-up Sea Angel.
* FantasticRacism: Though it's hard not to see the transforming Netherworld as something related to Celestia, they never liked the improving relations between Celestia and the Netherworld and call out Laharl for having an angel in his party. In fact, angels are listed in the artbook as one of Grosso's dislikes.
* ForgettableCharacter: Neither Laharl or Etna seem to remember these three when they were working for the king. It's justified, as Etna mentions the king had a lot of vassals to keep track of and Laharl was an infant (in demon years) to remember any of them.
* HarmlessVillain: Laharl always take them for more an annoyance than anything else.
** NotSoHarmlessVillain: Come Chapter 8, he ''really'' should have at least put them on a leash, considering they [[spoiler: almost destroyed the Netherworld by accident, and would have done so if you couldn't beat Barbara]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Rainier. She thinks very little of everyone around her and is not afraid to let them know, the late Krichevskoy being the only exception.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Even though they claim they are following Krichevskoy's will, they do not seem to have a grasp on what made Krichevskoy a great and charismatic Overlord. At one point, they suggest using Sicily as a hostage to put the angels at a disadvantage which Laharl disagrees with and, considering the tropes associated with Krichevskoy, so would Krichevskoy.
* LargeHam: Garungun, [[Creator/JamiesonPrice voiced]] by none other than [[VideoGame/MakaiKingdom King Drake the 3rd]]!
* MarshmallowHell: Rainier, when she used to take care of Laharl as a baby, often got him to sleep by "smothering him". [[FreudianExcuse Explains a lot, don't it?]]
* MilesGloriosus: Garungun, a [[LargeHam hammy]] golem with the title ''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Obsidian Winged Destroyer]]'' and can summon a Majin out of his left hand. He also has [[NonIndicativeName no wings at all]] (which he ''claims'' is visible only to those with an ''evil eye''), is unable to deliver on the Majin thing, and goes down just as easily as the rest of the Krichevskoy Group.
** MrImagination: His overly bombastic title, claims of power he can't follow up on, and insistence that only special people can see his wings hints that he might just be a {{Chuunibyou}} who never grew out of it.
* PuppetKing: The Group's plans ultimately rely on placing a figurehead they control on the throne since neither of them can take on Laharl directly. At first they use Barbara, then a [[spoiler: Prinny]], and finally, in the postgame [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/ZettaiHeroProject Darkdeath Evilman]]]].

[[folder:Virunga]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/WataruHatano (JP), Creator/DaveBMitchell (EN)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/virunga_bustneutral.png]]

Celestia's newest Archangel. Unlike the former Archangel Vulcanus, Virunga is soft-spoken, very loyal to Lamington, and cares a great deal about his fellow angels.
----
* AFatherToHisMen: He cares a great deal about his fellow angels and won't hesitate to go into the Netherworld himself [[spoiler:or aid the Overlord during a Netherworld crisis]] if it secures their safe return.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:He and the Krichevskoy Group help clear the way so that the Disgaea trio can get to Xenolith.]]
* {{Bishonen}}: A far cry from the more evil looking Vulcanus. Etna comments that he's as much good looking as Vulcanus is not.
* {{Foil}}: Virunga is clearly one to Vulcanus. They both have prejudiced views on angels and demons but that is where the similarities stop. Virunga is a {{Bishonen}} who, while misguided, is loyal to Seraph Lamington and cares for his fellow angels. Vulcanus is ObviouslyEvil, isn't loyal to the Seraph at all, and is willing to sacrifice everyone for his ambitions.
* NobleBigot: Virunga is a noble and loyal Archangel, constantly looking out for the well-being of his fellow angels as well as believing in the PowerOfLove, practically a saint compared to Vulcanus. Unfortunately, he too has some prejudiced views, particularly regarding Sicily's nature [[spoiler:as a Demon-Angel]] and where she should stay. [[spoiler:He ignores her feelings of loneliness in Celestia and believes that she's better off staying with the angels. This briefly puts him at odds with Laharl and Flonne, who believe Sicily should be allowed to choose to stay in the Netherworld. He only backs down after Lamington interjects]].
* PowerOfLove: Claims (sincerely) to believe in it, but his flawed views prevent him from truly grasping it. Laharl even says that Flonne, a Fallen Angel, understands the PowerOfLove far better than the Archangel. [[ForegoneConclusion Flonne eventually becomes]] [[VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten the next Archangel]].
* UndyingLoyalty: No doubt the biggest difference between him and Vulcanus is that he is completely loyal to Lamington.

[[folder:Lanzarote]]
A Netherworld Idol that appears in Chapter 4. She quickly sweeps the Netherworld with her singing voice, which collides her with Laharl due to her being more popular than him. Her Producer is none other than Hoggmeiser.
----
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:She has no care whatsoever of her fans who greatly adore her.]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:Lanzarote joins Laharls's party after beating her in battle.]]
* DemotedToExtra: After joining the party, Lanzarote is never mentioned in-story again.
* IdolSinger: She's a Netherworld-famous pop star.
* PaletteSwap: She is a recolor of the archer class.
* SayItWithHearts: Her dialogue often is punctuated with hearts.
* TakeOverTheWorld: [[spoiler: Lanzarote plans on becoming an Overlord by using her fame as a famous idol.]]
* UglyGuysHotDaughter: [[spoiler:She is heavily implied to be Hoggmeiser's daughter if you talk to her with max affection.]]

!!!Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeHirakawa (JP), Creator/ToddHaberkorn (EN)
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xenolith.png]]

A mysterious and powerful demon who is often seen with angels for unknown reasons. He is revealed as Etna's brother, who was attacked by demons in her infancy for being suspected of plotting to overthrow King Krichevskoy, and in the chaos he lost track of Etna, who was taken in by Krichevskoy as an orphan.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Physically, he can't be more than two years old. Of course, King Krichevskoy was much older.]]

* DominantSpeciesGene: Laharl's mother was human, but his status as a HalfHumanHybrid is never brought up in the games [[spoiler:(though it is in the novels)]], he exhibits all of the traits of demons, and [[spoiler:like all Overlords]] he's extremely powerful.

* AllGenesAreCoDominant: Averted -- Laharl's mother was human, but his status as a HalfHumanHybrid is never brought up in the games [[spoiler:(though it is in the novels)]], he exhibits all of the traits of demons, and [[spoiler:like all Overlords]] he's extremely powerful.

* BadassMustache: A small, defined and well groomed dali mustache.

* {{Troperiffic}}: Kurtis is basically almost every trope associated with TheRival crammed into one. Laharl and Etna even try to subvert some of the tropes only to be rebuked by Flonne and Gordon.

* OlderAlterEgo: Downplayed, but apparent. His female form is taller (even using a larger sprite when deployed) and looks more physically mature than his male form's "approximately 13" appearance, to the point that "she" seems to be roughly equivalent to a 16-year-old human. She also acts more mature, losing a lot of the bratty and hammy aspects of his male form's personality, most notable his SignatureLaugh.

* YourCheatingHeart: Implied in the anime. [[spoiler:When Maharl tells him she's Laharl's sister, he asks who her mother is before panicking and quickly retracts his question by stating he doesn't want to know. He's immensely relieved when he discovers Maharl '''is not''' actually related to Laharl.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: "I wanna be a space detective too!"

* {{Adorkable}}: He's awkward and silly, but it just makes him more endearing and memorable.
