History Characters / Subverse

The Supreme General of the Solar Navy and a personal enemy of Blythe.

* TheQuisling: He collaborates with the Imperium and is basically their puppet ruler for the solar race. [[spoiler:During the Battle of Nü Vegas, he made a backroom deal with Kasidora and sold out his species in exchange for being made Supreme General.]]

* AbdicateTheThrone: At the start of the game, Kasidora has stepped down from her throne and rulership over the Imperium to her protégé Celestina.

* GreaterScopeVillain:

* ObviouslyEvil: She is a former evil empress who has [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness yellow eyes]], wears [[GoodColorsEvilColors dark crimson]] clothes, speaks with a deep voice, and her dark red skin makes her resemble a stereotypical demoness.

* TheManBehindTheMan: She may have abdicated, but still wields considerable influence over Celestina, intending to rule vicariously through her. [[spoiler:It is yet unclear whether she is aware of Erark's competition.]]

* BigBadWannabe: She's the previous Empress and her iron-fisted rule is directly responsible for a lot of the Prodigium Galaxy's problems. She also starts scheming to [[spoiler:overthrow Celestina]] once it becomes clear that she can no longer influence [[spoiler:Celestina, who is becoming increasingly disillusioned both with the Veil and Kasidora's draconian methods.]] [[spoiler:However, she ends up being played like a fiddle by Erark, who tricks her into gathering the entire Imperium Senate into one location so that Blythe can take them all out with a non-lethal DecapitationStrike with her SuperweaponSurprise. Once that's done, Kasidora and her entire powerbase are effectively trapped on the Imperium's capital world, which is sealed off from the rest of the galaxy by Blythe's superweapon as part of Erark's plan to pull some EngineeredHeroics so that he can woo Celestina into marrying him and become the Imperium's Emperor.]]

* DistressedDamsel: When the crew arrives in Griffin Nebula, [[spoiler:DEMI is kidnapped by the Huntress and delivered to the Requital]]. Subverted when [[spoiler:the crew manages to track her down, as in the middle of their rescue mission, HARR-E's torture unexpectedly activates DEMI's [[SuperpoweredEvilSide "slut mode"]], and she proceeds to tear her way through the Requital troops on her own, until Fortune manages to hack her and to deactivate it]].

* HeroicLineage: [[spoiler:The Captain's father was none other than the Pilot -- the first person in history to steer a prison barge through a wormhole while keeping everyone on board. His mad piloting skills are thus InTheBlood.]]

* SonOfAWhore: The Captain's mother was a Nü Vegas prostitute, while his father's identity is only known to a select few, like Blythe ([[spoiler:who implies that it was the Pilot himself]]). Consequently, the Captain has major issues with both of his parents, though less because of his mother's profession, and more because of the fact that she neglected him as a child before dying of a drug overdose, while his father was basically absent from his life from the start. In the context of early Nü Vegas, having prostitute mothers was not all that uncommon, and the Captain, in fact, has quite fond memories of being raised by his mother's colleagues at her brothel ''after'' her death.

* BigFriendlyDog: Being an Ord, he is humanoid in stature but with a distinctly canine (bulldog-like) head. He is both a loyal attack dog of the Empress, and a very decent individual -- in fact, it was him who showed mercy to the two {{Prison Ship}}s in which the first Solars arrived to Prodigium.

* DropTheHammer: Her signature weapon in ground combat is Mjolnqweer -- a warhammer so large, it does splash damage around the point of impact.

** On another note, one of her dialogue options with the Captain suggests that, in the bedroom, she's very dominatrix-like, but most of the actual sex scenes involving her- including with the Captain- have her gladly allowing her partner(s) to have their way with her, and generally being much more submissive [[TheLadette than you'd expect;]] you can probably count on your hands the number of times in total that Killi actually tops someone or is the one taking charge, and it'll still only be ''half'' (at most) of the number of times she isn't.

* TheSocialDarwinist: The mawsus species has no concept of a group, as every mawsus is forced to immediately fight others for survival the moment they hatch. [[spoiler:As a result, the Huntress has trouble adjusting to being a part of the RagtagBunchOfMisfits on the ''Mary Celeste''.]]

* TheSociopath: The mawsus species has no concept of a group, as every mawsus is forced to immediately fight others for survival the moment they hatch. [[spoiler:As a result, the Huntress has trouble adjusting to being a part of the RagtagBunchOfMisfits on the ''Mary Celeste''.]]
