| 7 | Running TheEmpire is hard work. No Dark Lord, no matter how powerful and feared, can manage everything on his own and a military-style hierarchy is usually the best of delegating tasks to the various henchmen and minions. As a result, if the heroes wind up having to topple TheEmpire, they'll end up going against a Standard Evil Empire Hierarchy. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | A Standard Evil Empire Hierarchy is defined by the roles they have within a larger Imperial hierarchy. Each member will be encountered individually, either with their assembled mooks or by themselves. In addition, the members rarely deal with each other unless the Emperor calls them for a joint meeting. [[EvilVersusEvil Infighting]] is common as they all attempt to assert their authority and it's not unheard-of for one boss to aid the heroes, [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder only to turn on them afterward.]] |
| 10 | |
| 11 | One of the hallmarks of the hierarchy is that there is often [[CoDragons no clear-cut Dragon role]], as all of the bosses answer directly to the Emperor himself. The hierarchy usually consists of: |
| 12 | * TheEmperor: The BigBad himself. Although he might not be an actual Emperor, he is the undisputed ruler of TheEmpire and the heroes won't reach him until very late in the game, if not the very end. His Imperial Majesty will [[OrcusOnHisThrone very rarely do much himself]], putting things in the hands of his generals and various subordinates. Is very likely to be TheChessmaster and EvilOverlord, naturally. |
| 13 | * The Right Hand: Commonly the Emperor's bodyguard, the Right Hand will often exist outside of the official military and police structure. While his position makes him most likely to be a clear-cut Dragon, it's also possible for him to be [[TheBrute dumb muscle]] that's sent to calm down a particularly troublesome situation. A common device is for him to [[FinalBossPreview face the heroes mid-way through]], [[HopelessBossFight sometimes winning]], and then pop up again right before the Emperor. If he is TheDragon, having [[DragonWithAnAgenda his own agenda]] or [[TheStarscream plans to take over]] will be much more likely due to his more independent nature. When TheEmperor is literally an emperor, this trope's position can be filled by the BattleButler, or his Empress. |
| 14 | * The General: Leader of the Empire's military. Most likely to be portrayed sympathetically, The General could very well be a WorthyOpponent, though a GeneralRipper is also common if the setting runs on BlackAndWhiteMorality. A MookLieutenant is rare, as The General is usually portrayed as being competent, morality aside. Common for him to be TheDragon, TheBrute and TheStrategist rolled into one, though never an EvilGenius since his smarts come from his strategical and tactical abilities. In settings with more than one military branch (army, navy, air force) there can be more than one General. |
| 15 | * The Guard: In contrast to The General, who is in command of the field armies, The Guard is in command of a high-profile prison, fortress or other stationary strong-point. They will likely contrast with The General and be portrayed far less sympathetically, sitting back in their comfy, well-protected stronghold. Expect him to be any combination of AxCrazy, a DirtyCoward or simply incompetent. They will usually be encountered and defeated early on, to make it clear that TheEmpire is evil before the heroes encounter a more sympathetic member of the hierarchy. Often serves as a ThresholdGuardian, both literally (in the "gatekeeper" sense) and metaphorically. |
| 16 | * The Security Officer: Is in charge of the StateSec and its DoomTroops, stamping out internal dissent and rebellion in the Empire. Often [[TheSpymaster he is also in charge of spies]] and commandos, one of whom is likely to be the next character on this list. Often he is also The Guard or The Oddball. |
| 17 | * The EvilCounterpart: Whether he's a RivalTurnedEvil, SixthRangerTraitor, {{Turncoat}} or simply someone who happens to have similar powers and abilities, he's someone with similar powers and abilities as the heroes, often times creating a MirrorMatch. Could fall under any of the other slots depending on the setting, but most commonly The Right Hand or The Oddball. |
| 18 | * The Oddball: If The Right Hand or The Evil Counterpart don't fall under this, expect The Oddball to be a PerkyFemaleMinion or EvilGenius, wielding powers far different from the others, either [[EvilSorceror dark magic]] or [[MadScientist science.]] They will have their own agenda and they will be unpredictable, even for their own allies. Alternatively, they could be a [[HiredGuns mercenary]] or other form of lowlife hired to track down the heroes, in which case they'll employ the standard weaponry but use unconventional tactics. Either way, the emphasis is that they're connected to TheEmpire but different. |
| 19 | * TheManBehindTheMan: If TheEmperor really isn't the BigBad, expect this one to be. Often times TheManBehindTheMan will be allied with TheEmperor, promising dark powers and victory if TheEmpire aids him in his quest to recover an ArtifactOfDoom or unlock some SealedEvilInACan. TheManBehindTheMan is far more common if TheEmpire is shown to be in command of forces that would be outside what's considered mundane by the standards of the setting. |
