* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Magnus' death is rather pitiful. Magnus is an extremist who hated necromancers for killing the lives of his family and friends, so he wanted to take control of the Warforges to attack the necromantic city of Cloveway. Before his death, Luna was desperately trying to convince Magnus that there was another way to honor the death of his love ones. However, before we could see if Luna's last attempt was successful or not, Magnus' body gets hijacked by Alter (an even worse necromancer-hating extremist). Alter proceed to use Magnus' body to help take control of the Warforges, forcing the party to destroy Magnus body (killing him in the process) in order to kill Alter.]]

** [[spoiler:Magnus hated necromancers so much, that he is willing to use the Warforges to massacre the necromancer's city of Cloveway outside the borders of Belkinus, even if that would spark a war as a result. In order to pull it off, he tried to trick and manipulate the party into helping him get access to the Warforges. This would ultimately bit him back ''hard''. In the process of his plans, he gets possessed by a Alter, who is a far worse necromancer-hating extremist and far more manipulative monster, and gets his Warforge plan taken over by the mechanical angel. And because he is currently being possessed by Alter, the party is forced to kill him in the process of trying to kill Alter.]]

* RightForTheWrongReasons: [[spoiler:Enoch's player initially thought that Magnus was a Protector because he misremembered Magnus telling Enoch that fact. While he was corrected by the DM and the players, Enoch's player still turned out to be right in the end about Magnus being part of the Protectors.]]

The only thing Bloodstride cared about was being seen as the only hope for necromancers in Belkinus. Unfortunately for Bloodstride, Chandrelle made sure to keep him under her control until the end.]]

The party assured Mirth that the other necromancers clearly believed in a world where necromancers could have a place in the world, and it was just a shame that Bloodstride used that for his own purposes.

Despite Kuro being nothing more than a small companion that Enoch directly controls, Kuro has had moments of some minor sentience and is capable of talking. This apparently stem's from Enoch's belief/perception that Kuro is just as much a dog as any other, which may lead to his subconscious commanding Kuro to act as such. In Episode 15 [[spoiler:Kara Miharian]] noted that Kuro's actions/desires should not be possible.

** Kara suffered this as a side effect from syphoning necromancers. The side effect for trying to absorb the magic of other necromancers is her body slowly deteriorating from every syphon, making the user slowly resemble to an undead corpse themselves. By the time the party meets her, one of her arms is nothing but a skeletal arm.
** [[spoiler:Chandrelle also suffers the same side effect from syphoning necromancers as her sister Kara, but WORSE. Without magic to cast an illusion over her body, one can see that Chandrelle's body resembles an undead even moreso than Kara. It is so bad that Chandrelle is clearly dying from the syphoning's side effects, with Luna questioning if Chandrelle is in fact already dead. It goes FromBadToWorse when, after syphoning Bloodstride's undead corpse, Chandrelle's powers finally goes out of control and she transforms into an undead monster herself.]]
** [[TheDragon Bloodstride]] sufferes two of them.
*** He is known for using charisma, deceit, and manipulation to not only recruit and control other necromancers, but also other people into doing what he wants (like with [[spoiler:The Protectors with the Warforge factory]]). He is a darker, more twisted version of who Nathaniel is. [[spoiler:So, it is poetic that Nathaniel was the one to ruin Bloodstride's plans in the latter's boss fight by forcibly controlling him using the Dominate spell.]]
*** He is essentially the Spine of Death's second-in-command. He searched necromancy, syphoning, and True Ressurection. Not only that, he has zero sympathy or remorse for either his undead nor the necromancers he uses. [[spoiler:Fittingly, after Bloodstride's death, he ends up resurrected as a [[CameBackWrong Body Horror]] (a failed True Ressurection subject whose soul is constantly suffering until killed again to have their soul set free) under Chandrelle's control. And, as a bonus, his undead form [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness gets syphoned]] by Chandrelle during the final boss fight, treated by Chandrelle as a disposible pawn just as Bloodstride treated others as the same thing.
