Added Yuber from Suikoden and Lloyd from Code Geass

Added DiffLines:

* Yuber from ''{{Suikoden}}'' is a mix of Barbarian Marauder (he destroyed a whole village because he was bored while waiting), Enslaved Grunt (he can be summoned and will work for the ones responsible for doing so.. at least until he's in danger) and Sneaky Merc (he actively seeks, craves and creates chaos and participates in most wars. However once he feels that he is in danger he will flee, usually by teleporting, and abandon the squad he was commanding and the battle he was fighting).


Added DiffLines:

* In ''Anime/CodeGeass'' Lloyd, "the earl of pudding" is an Engineer of Doom. Actually he is only interested in machines and doesn't really care much about humans.

*** In general, Kzer-Za policy limits the slave part of it -- a race becoming Battle Thralls is supposed to be a choice ''by that race'' (with the alternative being Slave Shielding), but the choice is final... even if an Umgah practical joke made you think you were choosing to be Slave Shielded.

* In ''BelisariusSeries'' the Rajputs and Kushans are ProudWarriorRace guys; both of them defected though the Kushans defected earlier(the Rajputs had to be left so that Belisarius would have someone decent to fight). The Ye-tai are barbarian marauders and the conscripted peasants are the grunts.

These two are more WorthyOpponents then the rather grim jackboots described above; the Rajputs are aristocratic warriors and the Kushans tough professionals, not totally unlike Romans. The Ye-tai are barbarian marauders and the conscripted peasants are the grunts.

* ''StarControlII'' is the TropeNamer with the Hierarchy of Battle Thralls led by the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za.
** ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The Thraddash. Possibly overlaps with the Barbarian Marauders (they're proud, but also dumb as bricks and unapologetically violent to a fault). The Yehat are a more straight example; being classic Proud Warrior Race Guys who serve the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za willingly under orders from their Veep-Neep Queen.
** Barbarian Marauders: The Ilwrath. They live for evil and became Battle Thralls to the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za solely for the purpose of obtaining sacrifices for their dark gods. The VUX are a bit of a subversion; they're intelligent and very eloquent, they're just narcissistic as heck and are heinously violently solely because they consider every non-VUX lifeform in the universe uglier than they are.

* The Engineers of Doom, Petter of rebels?: Every army needs folks to keep the war machine well sharpened and often these engineers will do the work. They rarely take sides in the conflict, only working to make sure the war machine is running and will rarely fight with the rebels if needed. They are often the straight man of the Battle Thralls, being the voice of reason amongst the Chaotic and Lawful Evil groups from killing each other. If the opportunity is given to rebel, they will merely offer a token of assistance but will not directly help in sabotaging the war machines.

They couldn\'t take down some Gauls in France, because the Gauls did no longer exist at that point and France did not yet exist. I suppose this is referring to the destruction of the Burgundians.


* Near the end of its reign, Rome, the classic VestigialEmpire, was hiring a lot of barbarians, because its own army was depleted. They even hired Attila the Hun at one point to take down some Gauls in France. Attila quickly figured out there was a lot more gold where his paycheck came from, and spent several years shaking down the Eastern Roman Empire, who had fairly unprofessional soldiers. Then he got cocky and took on the West. The West had trained soldiers and every BarbarianTribe that Attila had ever wronged on their side. Not surprisingly, Rome won, and Attila died on his wedding night (not of a nosebleed as is commonly thought; his heavy drinking caused a hemorrhage in his esophagus, and killed him with a combination of choking on his own blood and shock) Now here's where Rome made a huge mistake: it let its Western army slack off, and discriminated heavily on the barbarians. Then, the barbarians all teamed up to form TheHorde and carried out what is still considered to be the greatest ever RapePillageAndBurn ever conducted. The raid was so devastating that not only were barbarians all over Europe able to reclaim their land while the Romans just stood there [[WatchingTroyBurn staring at the bonfire they used to call 'home']], but they actually destroyed 400 years worth of technology. DarkAgeEurope ensued.

* [[SlaveMooks Enslaved Grunts]]: The lowest rank of Battle Thralls, basically rounded up and given a crude weapon and maybe a bomb. Their goal is to employ ZergRush Tactics against the enemy.

* Alluring Amazon Slave Girls: The bedwarmers of the battle thrall army. To the Empire, they are a useful resource for keeping the ruling elite company during those cold nights after a hard day of plundering and pilaging, and not too bad as soldiers either. Mostly used to infiltrate resistance cells or the beds of defiant generals. They often become enamored with the main character if he is a dashing hero. Frequently one will personally fall in love with the hero and realize that her love for the man who is trying to reveal his secrets is genuine. TheVamp version would often have a tragic romance with the ruler, realizing that he can not truly love her.

*The Engineers of Doom, Petter of rebels?: Every army needs folks to keep the war machine well sharpened and often these engineers will do the work. They rarely take sides in the conflict, only working to make sure the war machine is running and will rarely fight with the rebels if needed. They are often the straight man of the Battle Thralls, being the voice of reason amongst the Chaotic and Lawful Evil groups from killing each other. If the opportunity is given to rebel, they will merely offer a token of assistance but will not directly help in sabotaging the war machines.

*Enslaved Grunts: The lowest rank of a Battle Thrall, basically rounded up and given a crude weapon and maybe a bomb. Their goal is to employ ZergRush Tactics against the enemy. They are regarded by both sides as target practice and friendly fire is often an issue. They rarely have the courage to stand up and fight against their overlords. Realizing that their lot in life is to die anyway and thus will sacrifice themselves for the emperor, no matter how hopeless the attack is.

*Sneaky Mercs: Thieves, bandits and other lowlife who are more willing to harm a helpless target but would run at the first sight of someone getting killed. Their role in combat is to act as the surgical knife of the lowlifes, stealing, robbing or causing acts of terror with minimum bloodshed. Or until they plant that bomb and get the fuck out of dodge. Have an egotistical complex due to the fact that TheEmpire would gladly allow lowlife such as them to exist when they should be put to the sword.

*Dogmatic Drones: Robot Mooks, BugWar, a Dogmatic Drone Army are pretty much nameless/faceless robots banded under one leader who gave birth to them and a purpose. Often in the LawfulEvil territory. They act as a deadlier version of a ZergRush. Unlike Grunts, they don't have rebellious tendencies but are prone to have "unacceptables" who have broken off with the main society and are pretty much now unleashing their anger in all directions.

to:

You are an EvilOverlord who had have just conquered another place, crushed the puny LaResistance, set up the proper [[TheRegimeOfTerror [[TheReignOfTerror measures to keep people in line]] and is are ready to spill more blood for the blood god. The LesCollaborateurs may serve as Sargent the sergeant to this new army, but often it is headed by a [[FantasticRacism Fantastic Racist]] who will rarely show much mercy for this battalion.

There are several regiments of the Battle Thrall:

*ProudWarriorRaceGuy:
Thralls:

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy:
This branch consist of a WarriorRace group of people who believes might makes right, they will not question the leader's loyalty, believing that since they were beaten via trial by combat that they now accept him as the new leader. To them, serving the leader is the utmost highest honor this battle thrall can have and that he is the source of enlightenment amongst them. However, woe be unto there are some warrior race guys who felt you have insulted their honor. They will gladly be [[EnemyMine allies/non-aggressive with the rebels]] to return their group to their glory. In battle, they are toughest bastards with strategy to boot so if you face these guys: Good luck.

*Barbarian * Barbarian Marauders: Brute, dumb and the smartest being able to read. The Barbarian Marauder is perfectly fine with serving under the new rule of terror. But they fight for one reason. To kill and cause terror to anyone the empire doesn't like. Sociopaths pointed in another direction basically. Their brutality is offset by their shortmindedness. If they don't get their hedonistic needs met, they will pick apart your empire bit by bit.

*The * The Engineers of Doom, Petter of rebels?: Every army needs folks to keep the war machine well sharpened and often these engineers will do the work. They rarely take sides in the conflict, only working to make sure the war machine is running and will rarely fight with the rebels if needed. They are often the straight man of the Battle Thralls, being the voice of reason amongst the Chaotic and Lawful Evil groups from killing each other. If the opportunity is given to rebel, they will merely offer a token of assistance but will not directly help in sabotaging the war machines.

*Enslaved * Enslaved Grunts: The lowest rank of a Battle Thrall, Thralls, basically rounded up and given a crude weapon and maybe a bomb. Their goal is to employ ZergRush Tactics against the enemy. They are regarded by both sides as target practice and friendly fire is often an issue. They rarely have the courage to stand up and fight against their overlords. Realizing that their lot in life is to die anyway and thus will sacrifice themselves for the emperor, no matter how hopeless the attack is.

*Sneaky * Sneaky Mercs: Thieves, bandits and other lowlife lowlifes who are more willing to harm a helpless target but would run at the first sight of someone getting killed. Their role in combat is to act as the surgical knife of the lowlifes, stealing, robbing or causing acts of terror with minimum bloodshed. Or until they plant that bomb and get the fuck out of dodge. Have an egotistical complex due to the fact that TheEmpire would gladly allow lowlife such as them to exist when they should be put to the sword.

*Alluring * Alluring Amazon slave girls: The bedwarmers of the battle thrall army. To the Empire, they are a source of bedwarming goodness for the ruling elite and not quite bad as soldiers. Mostly used to infiltrate resistance cells or the beds of defiant generals. They often become enamored to the main character if he is a dashing hero. Often one will personally fall in love with the hero and realize that her love for the man who is trying to reveal his secrets is genuine. The Vamp TheVamp version would often have a tragic romance with the ruler, realizing that he can not truly love her

*Dogmatic * Dogmatic Drones: Robot Mooks, BugWar, a Dogmatic Drone Army are pretty much nameless/faceless robots banded under one leader who gave birth to them and a purpose. Often in the LawfulEvil territory. They act as a deadlier version of a ZergRush. Unlike Grunts, they don't have rebellious tendencies but are prone to have "unacceptables" who have broken off with the main society and are pretty much now unleashing their anger in all directions.
