* YourMom (seems to like this tactic)
!!Mir'kiin Vel'Vloz'ress
* APlagueOnBothYourHouses ([[spoiler:his last words are promising that Kharla will kill all of them]])
* [[spoiler:AssholeVictim]] ([[spoiler:he may have had it coming, but the way he goes out is still pretty gruesome]])
* {{Delinquents}} (he eventually gets kicked out of all his classes at Orthorbbae, forcing him to leave the school [[spoiler:where Ariel nabs him]])
* GroinAttack (he tries this on Ariel, and when he finds [[CrotchGrabSexCheck there's nothing to grab]] he figures out that she's female)
* FailOSuckyname (it's not known if it was intentional, but his name is a homophone for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkin Merkin]], a pubic wig)
* HeManWomanHater (he's definitely this, but it was never explained why. In fact when he [[spoiler: stabs Ariel]] he can be see happily murmuring that [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive/20070218c02p084.JPG "there will be one less female in the world"]] as he makes his getaway.)
* {{Jerkass}} (his first words are complaining that he doesn't want to be in a class with a bunch of "girly freaks" and he gets progressively more jerkish, attempting to kill Ariel and later attacking her when they're on the same team)
!! Sene'kha Vel'Vloz'ress
* TheChessmaster
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder (comes naturally with the Vloz'ress, but Sene'kha seemed to be especially good at it to get to her position)
* CompleteMonster (One of the few characters the very vocal fanbase is in absolute agreement about, and even Kiel seems to think this [[invoked]]. Under Kiel's mom the Vloz'ress were a bunch of weird but harmless people and Kharla had the chance to recover from her trauma. Then Sene'kha manipulated Kharla into turning Kiel's mom into a living door knocker. The results: Kharla's condition got worse, the Vloz'ress turned into a clan of power hungry maniacs and Sene'kha's control over Kharla allowed her to rule the clan. [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5263 Also there's her plan to takeover Chel]] by turning Kharla into an EldritchAbomination.)
* TheDogBitesBack ([[spoiler:Kiel refuses to help her escape and leaves her to be executed]])
* ManipulativeBastard (is heavily implied to have purposely arranged Kiel's mother's death, and a sidestory shows that she actually went ''looking'' for Kharla and found her in her insane state)
* [[spoiler:OffWithHisHead]] ([[spoiler:but not before beating stabbed, beaten up, and then after being beheaded ''set on fire'' and having her aura sealed for good measure]])
* [[spoiler:RasputinianDeath]] (see above)
* ShoutOut (her name is likely a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_the_Younger Seneca the Younger]], an advisor to Emperor Nero who was executed for supposedly being complicit in an assassination plot)
* TheStarscream (it's heavily implied that she pulled this on Kiel's mother)
* [[spoiler:SuicideByCop]] (she tries this after [[spoiler:Kiel refuses to help her break out, [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=810 and screams after her insults about her mother]] while her thought bubbles indicate that she wants Kiel to kill her so she can be "set free", i.e. either spared the Kyorl execution, able to release her seed to cause more destruction, or both]]. Unfortunately for Sene'kha, Kiel's already left.)
!!Kes'sen
Sene'kha's mate and Soul Seeker, he led the quest to bring back Discordia.
* {{Badass}} (look what it takes to [[spoiler:kill him]]!)
* TheDragon (to Sene'kha)
* DualWielding
* [[spoiler:EyesDoNotBelongThere]] ([[spoiler:when his seed starts to awaken he gains a second set of eyes above his own]])
* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath]] ([[spoiler:Kiel intentionally [[InvokedTrope invokes this]] by using her mother's golem against him]])
* [[spoiler: RasputinianDeath]] ([[spoiler: Is set upon by nagas, and after fighting through them narrowly survives a manabomb, two stab wounds to the abdomen, and a fire blast. Then he releases his seed only to have his head split by Kiel'ndia's chain weapon. People on the forums agree that this takes the cake for Rasputinian Deaths out of all the characters in the comic.]])
* ScarsAreForever (has several scars on his face)
* UnholyMatrimony (we never see them really interact, but it can be inferred he had this relationship with Sene'kha, though the gender roles were flipped due to drow society)
!! Larvova
A nether summoner in the clan.
* EnemyMine ([[spoiler:winds up in this situation with Kiel after she's poisoned and forced to save her life]])
* FacialMarkings (has what are probably tattoos that resemble stitch marks all over her face)
* InTheHood (almost always has her hood up)
!! Nyo'ka
A nether summoner within the clan.
* ChekhovsGunman ([[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1206 the scourges behind her in the last panel]] appear later [[spoiler:to watch Kiel succumb to the poison]])
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes (what Kiel realizes [[spoiler:when she bursts in to kill Nyo'ka and sees her kids]]. See also NotSoDifferent.)
* NotSoDifferent (Kiel realizes this when her children come out [[spoiler:after Kiel burst in to kill her]] and is reminded of her own mother)
* PetTheDog (the way she talks about [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1208 her children]])
* PutOnABus (she did this to [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7904 her kids]] by sending them to the Illhar'dro city of Nuqrah'shareh, though she had referenced [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6728 earlier]] that she was going to do this, and the two of them later appear [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1694 in chapters 33 and 34]], where their names are revealed to be Tamiir and Kys'sae, with Tamiir probably being the girl and Kys'sae probably being the boy)
* SnakesAreSexy (she's seen with a snake wrapped around one of her arms a couple times)
* [[spoiler:UnwittingPawn]] ([[spoiler:or something. Kiel was poisoned in such a way that Kharla thought Larvova did it, but Kharla was smart enough to get Larvova to save Kiel instead, only to have Nyo'ka's scourges show up to watch, suggesting that Nyo'ka ordered it, but she denies having anything to do with it.]])
!! Ven'ndia
Kiel's mother and the former leader of the group that later became the Vloz'ress, Ven'ndia's aura was sealed in a [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=455 puppet body]] by Kharla.
* AFateWorseThanDeath
* AndIMustScream (her puppet body is implied to still be conscious)
* DealWithTheDevil (she tainted herself knowing the risks, and [[spoiler:it's heavily implied that Snadhya'rune wanted her to help with the Nidraa'chal War, and when she refused [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=451 they were attacked]]]])
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest (Demon worshipper or not, she's one of the best parents in the series. And dead. [[AFateWorseThanDeath We think]].)
* SpellMyNameWithAnS (Is it Ven'nedia, as she is called in Chapter 11, or Ven'ndia, as in Chapter 24 and after? It appears to be the second, and like Snadhya'runes vs. Snadhya'rune, has been quietly changed in the later chapters)
* TheFarmerAndTheViper (poor, poor Ven'ndia, she was just trying to help Kharla)
* WomanInWhite (her preferred style of dress suggests this)
!! Kuso and Baliir
* TheBigGuy (Baliir)
* BlueEyes (Kuso, and how he's managed to avoid getting tainted in the Vloz'ress is anyone's guess, since he's one of less than a handful we've seen that are untainted)
* EstrogenBrigadeBait (Kuso, as of [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7394 this page]], which caused many to express surprise that he's so pretty under the helmet)
* GentleGiant (Baliir, when he's not [[CurbStompBattle curb stomping people who challenge him]])
* HeterosexualLifePartners
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold (possibly Kuso, who despite his mouth doesn't seem that bad in general)
* PunchClockVillain (Kuso, at least, just joined to have some place to stay and work. Baliir on the other hand seems to genuinely believe in Sene'kha's cause)
* PunnyName ("Kuso" is a Japanese curse roughly equivalent to "damn" or "shit", and Kuso has quite the short fuse and foul mouth)
* SirSwearsalot (Kuso)
* ThoseTwoGuys
* TheUnreveal (at one point Baliir [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1451 takes off his mask]], and it disturbs the other customers enough that Kuso asks him to put it back on, but we don't actually get to see his face. Probably a good thing, if you consider what Larvova's berserker [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20100519c24p017.jpg looks like]].)
* WarriorPoet (Baliir)
* WellIntentionedExtremist (Baliir)
!!Ni'bai
A former Sharen of Nishi'kanta's bloodline, now a Vloz'ress nether summoner. Her twin, Ni'ju, is now a demon that serves her.
* AngstySurvivingTwin (considering that her sister [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=759 is a demon]] this trope is pretty easy to infer)
* FacialMarkings (like Kiel, has red lines that look like tear marks under her eyes)
* IgnoredEpiphany (not Ni'bai herself, but when she tries to tell Desmonde Kyorl'solenurn the truth about the War she's ignored)
* {{Stripperiffic}} (not by human standards save for her ImpossiblyLowNeckline, but by drow standards [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=741 walking around with a bare neck]] makes her even naughtier than Mel with her dental floss)
!! Nainai
An old human woman, she seems to be Kharla's caretaker.
* ButNotTooWhite (averted, since she may be a Rift Halme who was born underground, and thus has no natural coloring)
* TheCaretaker
* CoolOldLady
* MilkyWhiteEyes (on account of being blind)
* NeverMessWithGranny (fans have decided that she must be this if she's survived in the Vloz fortress)
* ParentalSubstitute (to both Kiel and Kharla)
!! Umpus
An intelligent demon (aka Vel'Akar) possessing the body of a drow/naga symbiote and serves as Sene'kha's attendant. Much like Khaless for Snadhya'rune, Umpus is every loyal to the Vlozress ideals set out by Sene'kha and later [[spoiler: is seen to be plotting with Ni'bai to revive the old idea of bringing a demon god into the world by using Discordia as bait]].
* AnimeHair (has short and spiky hair not seen on any other male character)
* BlankWhiteEyes (save for red schlera, this signifies that he is fully demon, not merely a tainted drow)
* DistaffCounterpart (this appears to be the case with him and Khaless, though its unknown how their respective power levels match up)
* FacialMarkings (he is noticeably tattoed all over his upper body)
* FluffyTamer (was visibly sympathetic to Discordia whilst the latter was being captured, stroking her arm while the other characters just comment on how easy it was to capture the shard)
* HiddenAgendaVillain (it is too early to tell if he is a ''villain'', but as of yet readers know nothing about his true motives)
* TattooedCrook (as seen above, he is covered in body markings)
----
The newest clans to rise to the Council of Nine. The Vloz'ress was originally a small nether cult under the leadership of Kiel's mother Ven'ndia, but after her death Sene'kha formed alliances with the Sharen that allowed the Vloz'ress to take the seat left vacant after the collapse of the Val'Dutanvir. Besides the Sharen, they are the only clan who identify themselves as Vels instead of Vals due to their association with demonic magic.
! The Clan as a whole
* AlwaysChaoticEvil (their reputation, though individual members sometimes avert this, and WordOfGod is that they [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=3943 deliberately play up looking evil]] as part of their battle tactics)
* AnimalMotifs (their clan mount is the [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20060409c02p030.JPG snake]], and WordOfGod is that the large snakes they ride actually belonged to the Dutan'vir originally and were engineered by the Jaal'darya)
* ArmyOfThievesAndWhores (the Vloz'ress is the last stop for many of the most desperate people in Chel, and the life expectancy of their troops can be measured in ''weeks''.)
* BedlamHouse (essentially what their fortress is)
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder (a prerequisite for anyone who wants to gain power in the clan)
* DarkIsNotEvil (under Ven'ndia, they were [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=444 weird but harmless]], and despite being demon worshipers sought to learn from them rather than use them as weapons. Thoroughly averted once Sene'kha took over)
* EldritchLocation (invoked, their fortress is intentionally designed to confuse people who enter it, including golems that [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=442 reached out and attack you]] as you enter)
* EvilIsVisceral (their fortress definitely seems to play off this)
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits (originally)
* TheUnfavorite (''nobody'' likes the Vloz'ress, just check the [[http://wiki.drowtales.com/index.php/Clan_Relations clan relations chart]]. Even the Sharen, who were behind the Vloz's rise to power, only like them on the surface, everyone else either hates them or is neutral towards them.)
* UnwittingPawn (it's stated several time that the Vloz are really nothing more than a pawn of the Sharen)
!! Kharla'ggen Vel'Vloz'ress

* [[spoiler:AssholeVictim]] ([[spoiler:he may have had it coming, but the way he goes out is still pretty gruesome]])
* {{Delinquents}} (he eventually gets kicked out of all his classes at Orthorbbae, forcing him to leave the school [[spoiler:where Ariel nabs him]])
* GroinAttack (he tries this on Ariel, and when he finds [[CrotchGrabSexCheck there's nothing to grab]] he figures out that she's female)
* FailOSuckyname (it's not known if it was intentional, but his name is a homophone for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkin Merkin]], a pubic wig)
* HeManWomanHater (he's definitely this, but it was never explained why. In fact when he [[spoiler: stabs Ariel]] he can be see happily murmuring that [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive/20070218c02p084.JPG "there will be one less female in the world"]] as he makes his getaway.)
* {{Jerkass}} (his first words are complaining that he doesn't want to be in a class with a bunch of "girly freaks" and he gets progressively more jerkish, attempting to kill Ariel and later attacking her when they're on the same team)
!! Sene'kha Vel'Vloz'ress
* TheChessmaster
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder (comes naturally with the Vloz'ress, but Sene'kha seemed to be especially good at it to get to her position)
* CompleteMonster (One of the few characters the very vocal fanbase is in absolute agreement about, and even Kiel seems to think this [[invoked]]. Under Kiel's mom the Vloz'ress were a bunch of weird but harmless people and Kharla had the chance to recover from her trauma. Then Sene'kha manipulated Kharla into turning Kiel's mom into a living door knocker. The results: Kharla's condition got worse, the Vloz'ress turned into a clan of power hungry maniacs and Sene'kha's control over Kharla allowed her to rule the clan. [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5263 Also there's her plan to takeover Chel]] by turning Kharla into an EldritchAbomination.)
* TheDogBitesBack ([[spoiler:Kiel refuses to help her escape and leaves her to be executed]])
* ManipulativeBastard (is heavily implied to have purposely arranged Kiel's mother's death, and a sidestory shows that she actually went ''looking'' for Kharla and found her in her insane state)
* [[spoiler:OffWithHisHead]] ([[spoiler:but not before beating stabbed, beaten up, and then after being beheaded ''set on fire'' and having her aura sealed for good measure]])
* [[spoiler:RasputinianDeath]] (see above)
* ShoutOut (her name is likely a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_the_Younger Seneca the Younger]], an advisor to Emperor Nero who was executed for supposedly being complicit in an assassination plot)
* TheStarscream (it's heavily implied that she pulled this on Kiel's mother)
* [[spoiler:SuicideByCop]] (she tries this after [[spoiler:Kiel refuses to help her break out, [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=810 and screams after her insults about her mother]] while her thought bubbles indicate that she wants Kiel to kill her so she can be "set free", i.e. either spared the Kyorl execution, able to release her seed to cause more destruction, or both]]. Unfortunately for Sene'kha, Kiel's already left.)
!!Kes'sen
Sene'kha's mate and Soul Seeker, he led the quest to bring back Discordia.
* {{Badass}} (look what it takes to [[spoiler:kill him]]!)
* TheDragon (to Sene'kha)
* DualWielding
* [[spoiler:EyesDoNotBelongThere]] ([[spoiler:when his seed starts to awaken he gains a second set of eyes above his own]])
* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath]] ([[spoiler:Kiel intentionally [[InvokedTrope invokes this]] by using her mother's golem against him]])
* [[spoiler: RasputinianDeath]] ([[spoiler: Is set upon by nagas, and after fighting through them narrowly survives a manabomb, two stab wounds to the abdomen, and a fire blast. Then he releases his seed only to have his head split by Kiel'ndia's chain weapon. People on the forums agree that this takes the cake for Rasputinian Deaths out of all the characters in the comic.]])
* ScarsAreForever (has several scars on his face)
* UnholyMatrimony (we never see them really interact, but it can be inferred he had this relationship with Sene'kha, though the gender roles were flipped due to drow society)
!! Larvova
A nether summoner in the clan.
* EnemyMine ([[spoiler:winds up in this situation with Kiel after she's poisoned and forced to save her life]])
* FacialMarkings (has what are probably tattoos that resemble stitch marks all over her face)
* InTheHood (almost always has her hood up)
!! Nyo'ka
A nether summoner within the clan.
* ChekhovsGunman ([[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1206 the scourges behind her in the last panel]] appear later [[spoiler:to watch Kiel succumb to the poison]])
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes (what Kiel realizes [[spoiler:when she bursts in to kill Nyo'ka and sees her kids]]. See also NotSoDifferent.)
* NotSoDifferent (Kiel realizes this when her children come out [[spoiler:after Kiel burst in to kill her]] and is reminded of her own mother)
* PetTheDog (the way she talks about [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1208 her children]])
* PutOnABus (she did this to [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7904 her kids]] by sending them to the Illhar'dro city of Nuqrah'shareh, though she had referenced [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6728 earlier]] that she was going to do this, and the two of them later appear [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1694 in chapters 33 and 34]], where their names are revealed to be Tamiir and Kys'sae, with Tamiir probably being the girl and Kys'sae probably being the boy)
* SnakesAreSexy (she's seen with a snake wrapped around one of her arms a couple times)
* [[spoiler:UnwittingPawn]] ([[spoiler:or something. Kiel was poisoned in such a way that Kharla thought Larvova did it, but Kharla was smart enough to get Larvova to save Kiel instead, only to have Nyo'ka's scourges show up to watch, suggesting that Nyo'ka ordered it, but she denies having anything to do with it.]])
!! Ven'ndia
Kiel's mother and the former leader of the group that later became the Vloz'ress, Ven'ndia's aura was sealed in a [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=455 puppet body]] by Kharla.
* AFateWorseThanDeath
* AndIMustScream (her puppet body is implied to still be conscious)
* DealWithTheDevil (she tainted herself knowing the risks, and [[spoiler:it's heavily implied that Snadhya'rune wanted her to help with the Nidraa'chal War, and when she refused [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=451 they were attacked]]]])
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest (Demon worshipper or not, she's one of the best parents in the series. And dead. [[AFateWorseThanDeath We think]].)
* SpellMyNameWithAnS (Is it Ven'nedia, as she is called in Chapter 11, or Ven'ndia, as in Chapter 24 and after? It appears to be the second, and like Snadhya'runes vs. Snadhya'rune, has been quietly changed in the later chapters)
* TheFarmerAndTheViper (poor, poor Ven'ndia, she was just trying to help Kharla)
* WomanInWhite (her preferred style of dress suggests this)
!! Kuso and Baliir
* TheBigGuy (Baliir)
* BlueEyes (Kuso, and how he's managed to avoid getting tainted in the Vloz'ress is anyone's guess, since he's one of less than a handful we've seen that are untainted)
* EstrogenBrigadeBait (Kuso, as of [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7394 this page]], which caused many to express surprise that he's so pretty under the helmet)
* GentleGiant (Baliir, when he's not [[CurbStompBattle curb stomping people who challenge him]])
* HeterosexualLifePartners
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold (possibly Kuso, who despite his mouth doesn't seem that bad in general)
* PunchClockVillain (Kuso, at least, just joined to have some place to stay and work. Baliir on the other hand seems to genuinely believe in Sene'kha's cause)
* PunnyName ("Kuso" is a Japanese curse roughly equivalent to "damn" or "shit", and Kuso has quite the short fuse and foul mouth)
* SirSwearsalot (Kuso)
* ThoseTwoGuys
* TheUnreveal (at one point Baliir [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1451 takes off his mask]], and it disturbs the other customers enough that Kuso asks him to put it back on, but we don't actually get to see his face. Probably a good thing, if you consider what Larvova's berserker [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20100519c24p017.jpg looks like]].)
* WarriorPoet (Baliir)
* WellIntentionedExtremist (Baliir)
!!Ni'bai
A former Sharen of Nishi'kanta's bloodline, now a Vloz'ress nether summoner. Her twin, Ni'ju, is now a demon that serves her.
* AngstySurvivingTwin (considering that her sister [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=759 is a demon]] this trope is pretty easy to infer)
* FacialMarkings (like Kiel, has red lines that look like tear marks under her eyes)
* IgnoredEpiphany (not Ni'bai herself, but when she tries to tell Desmonde Kyorl'solenurn the truth about the War she's ignored)
* {{Stripperiffic}} (not by human standards save for her ImpossiblyLowNeckline, but by drow standards [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=741 walking around with a bare neck]] makes her even naughtier than Mel with her dental floss)
!! Nainai
An old human woman, she seems to be Kharla's caretaker.
* ButNotTooWhite (averted, since she may be a Rift Halme who was born underground, and thus has no natural coloring)
* TheCaretaker
* CoolOldLady
* MilkyWhiteEyes (on account of being blind)
* NeverMessWithGranny (fans have decided that she must be this if she's survived in the Vloz fortress)
* ParentalSubstitute (to both Kiel and Kharla)
!! Umpus
An intelligent demon (aka Vel'Akar) possessing the body of a drow/naga symbiote and serves as Sene'kha's attendant. Much like Khaless for Snadhya'rune, Umpus is every loyal to the Vlozress ideals set out by Sene'kha and later [[spoiler: is seen to be plotting with Ni'bai to revive the old idea of bringing a demon god into the world by using Discordia as bait]].
* AnimeHair (has short and spiky hair not seen on any other male character)
* BlankWhiteEyes (save for red schlera, this signifies that he is fully demon, not merely a tainted drow)
* DistaffCounterpart (this appears to be the case with him and Khaless, though its unknown how their respective power levels match up)
* FacialMarkings (he is noticeably tattoed all over his upper body)
* FluffyTamer (was visibly sympathetic to Discordia whilst the latter was being captured, stroking her arm while the other characters just comment on how easy it was to capture the shard)
* HiddenAgendaVillain (it is too early to tell if he is a ''villain'', but as of yet readers know nothing about his true motives)
* TattooedCrook (as seen above, he is covered in body markings)
