''True Villains'' takes what you know about fantasy: how the good guys always win, the villains are definitely evil, mostly irredeemable, and always lose and flips it on it's ear.

-----

* AerithAndBob- We have Xaneth Antaris, Sebastian Jalek, Mia Jalek, Elia Redscallon, Bayn, and Tom.
** Don't forget about [[spoiler:Dexter Phoenix and Gray]].
* AffablyEvil- Elia and Xaneth mostly, but, various psychoses aside, the entire main cast fits this to some degree, even Bayn can be quite charming when the situation calls for it.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack- As bad as Xaneth is, The Man In White makes him look positively heroic.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking - The Paladin nearly kills Sebestian and company, condones the [[spoiler:torture of small children, namely Mia]], and judging from his castle, [[spoiler: has a horrible, awful taste in carpets.]]
* ArtEvolution- Look at the first comic, then look at anything from the newer series. Heck, even when the series wasn't changing artists every few minutes Maddie's art got steadily better over the course of Saga 1.
* ArtImitatesLife- Subverted, then invoked. The characters for the first production of [[TheMusical the musical]] look similar to their comic counterparts. Then, after the second production and a few artists swaps, the characters took on similar appearances to their Real Life counterparts.
* AxCrazy- According to WordOfGod, before she met Xaneth, Elia was this. She has a lot more self control now, but is still prepared to go on a bloody slaughter simply to rescue one person
* BadassBookworm- Sebastian, following his [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]], and to a lesser extent, Elia.
* BigBad- Possibly Xaneth; he shows signs of complex planning and reasoning in some comics. Perhaps a Big Bad in training?
** BiggerBad- Lord Attera
* BigDamnHeroes - Looks like Mia is about to pull this off with for Cecile and Elia.
* BreakingTheFourthWall- All over the place. However, most prominent is the fourth wall-shattering character [[spoiler:Dexter Phoenix]]
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower- Sebastian; he suffers a crippling injury to his aura that drains his life force constantly, and forces him to train hard for three hours a day just to stay alive. [[spoiler:After Bayn fixes the damage, that training [[http://www.truevillains.com/comic-2011-10-04-Mightier%20than%20the%20Sword-jpg.htm catches up to him...]] ]]
* CheerfulChild- Little Mia, with her constant smiles and sweet nature, is an obvious example.
* ChekhovsGun- [[http://www.truevillains.com/comic-2008-03-08-A%20Day%20in%20His%20Shoes-jpg.htm Xaneth's]] [[http://www.truevillains.com/comic-2011-09-30-Always%20a%20Reason-jpg.htm shoes]].
* TheChessmaster- Xaneth
* ChronicHeroSyndrome- Sebastian is trying to get over this.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan- Mia, who is adopted by Sebastian after [[spoiler:he blows up her hometown.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Sebastaian and Xaneth's fights with The Paladin and The Man in White respectively are shown side-by-side, at first the two of them are getting stomped, [[spoiler: then they turn it around.]]
* CutenessOverload - [[http://www.truevillains.com/comic-2008-06-27-Persuasion-jpg.htm Elia cannot resist Mia's charms]] ... [[http://www.truevillains.com/comic-2008-07-04-Inefficiency-jpg.htm Xaneth? Not so much]].
* DaddysLittleVillain- Mia, in the sense that Sebby is not actually her father.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Xaneth. For example, he warns the townspeople that he's planning to destroy them... and tells them that he's going to do it a week ''after'' the time he ''actually'' plans to destroy them.
* DungeonCrawling- Sebastian used to do this until he was contracted by Xaneth.
* EvilVersusEvil- Xaneth vs The Man in White.
* EvilSorceror- Xaneth, Elia, Bayn.
* FaceHeelTurn- Sebastian commits one and is seemingly firm in his decision. He did, after all, [[spoiler:blow up a town.]]
* FlashStep- [[spoiler: Lord Attera]]
* FiveBadBand-
** BigBad: Xaneth
** TheDragon: Sebastian
** TheEvilGenius: Elia
** TheBrute: Tom
** TheDarkChick / TagalongKid: Mia
** TheSixthRanger: Bayn
* GoodIsNotNice- The Paladin, [[spoiler: Gray]]
* GoodWingsEvilWings- Xaneth has traditional "angelic" feathered wings, but they're also solid black, so he occupies something of a middle ground in this trope, despite being squarely on the side of evil
* HannibalLecture- Bayn, masterfully, [[http://www.truevillains.com/comic-2009-12-22-Torture,%20Take%20Two-jpg.htm see it here]].
* HeroAntagonist- The Paladin, of course.
* IncrediblyLamePun- Bael, what with all his golem jokes.
---> '''Bael:''' Oh, sorry, my eyesight is a little... rusty.
---> VisibleSilence
---> '''Xaneth:''' Yes. Rusty. Because your eye is made of metal. I get it. It's just not funny.
* InformedJudaism- Xaneth, presumably to avoid the obvious UnfortunateImplications.
* LittleMissBadass- Mia, with her ability to build [[http://www.truevillains.com/comic-2008-09-08-The%20Cavalry%20Arrives-jpg.htm this.]]
* MayDecemberRomance- [[spoiler:Mia and Bayn. Somewhat averted in that though chronologically Bayn is nearly ninety, physically he is about ten.]]
** Also Elia and Sebastian maybe? There is definitely some flirting going on.
* ObliviouslyEvil- Mia, maybe.
* OlderThanTheyLook- And how! On the cast page Elia's age is listed as 87.
** Bayn can also count now. After all, [[spoiler:he was magically transformed into a little kid.]]
* OurDemonsAreDifferent- WordOfGod says that Xaneth is a demon, [[http://www.truevillains.com/comic-2010-07-21-New%20Xaneth-jpg.htm he looks like this]].
* PetTheDog- Sebastian, Elia and even Xaneth think that Mia is too cute to kill.
** Plus Elia freeing an elven slave girl from her human masters, although, she does use an army of zombies to slaughter an entire mansion full of people, so...
* PragmaticVillainy- Xaneth operates on a fairly local level and avoids doing things ForTheEvulz, this means he has a pretty strong reputation and a reasonable level of power, but his actions are too small for the more powerful heroes to bother with him, even The Paladin is more focused on Sebastian than him.
* ScheduleSlip- A very, very long time. Updating now since they have a new artist.
* SerialKiller- Elia, but Xaneth keeps her under control most of the time
* StandardFemaleGrabArea- Gray to Cee in "Fearless". Though slightly overshadowed by the broadsword to the head shortly thereafter.
* TalkingApplianceSidekick- Augustus, the amazing talking, dueling, pocket-watch.
* TookALevelInBadass- Sebastian, he can punch through swords now.
* TheMusical- Has its own page [[http://www.truevillainsmusical.com/index.htm here]]
* VillainProtagonist- With a title like ''True Villains'', what can you expect?
* WingsDoNothing- We have not seen Xaneth fly or use his wings for anything besides looking damn awesome. Until [[http://www.truevillains.com/comic-2011-08-19-Ironic%20Heritage-jpg.htm now]].
* WorthyOpponent: The Paladin seems to view Sebastian as this.
