Long ago, a boy asked me to teach him how to become the "King of the Tower." When I asked why he would need such power, he replied "I want to turn this Tower into a place where everyone can live happily." I helped him grow stronger, and one day he actually did become the King of the Tower. But still, he failed to make everyone happy.
—God of Guardians
The ruling empire in the Tower. Upon becoming the King of the Tower, Jahad went on to establish the Jahad Family, who are considered royalty. At the same time, the Ten Great Warriors founded the Ten Great Families, who are akin to aristocracy in the Tower; all of their descendants benefit from the contracts they've secured with the Floor Guardians.

Founders
Government
The Three Lords
The Three Lords
The Three Lords are the set of regents responsible for directly ruling the Tower since the establishment of the Jahad Empire. Their political power is near-absolute, above even the Rulers of the various Floors, and beneath only Jahad himself. The Three Lords: Molic One P. GR, Joochun, and Flux, rule the Tower on a revolving basis, during which time the acting Lord will control the day-to-day operations of the Tower. To avoid being bound by their heredity, the Three have each given up any familial ties.- Cincinnatus: They rule on Jahad’s behalf and willingly relinquish power at the end of their respective terms.
- The Ghost: None of them has directly appeared yet in the story.
- Thousand-Year Reign: The Three Lords take turns ruling the Jahad Empire for a period of 1000 years.
- The Three Faces of Adam: Joochun is the Hunter, being in favor of reviving attempts at climbing beyond the 134th Floor. Molic One is the Lord, who is solely concerned with Tower stability. Flux is the Prophet, who cares most about the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge.
Molic One P. GR
Rank: 12
Occupation: Lord of the Tower
Sobriquet: Molic One
The current ruling Lord. Molic One P. GR is the oldest and most powerful of the Three Lords, while his influence is comparable to one of the Ten Family Heads.- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: In the past, he was said to be a powerful warrior that Jahad himself could not take lightly and his role in the Tower’s hierarchy reflects this. Moreover, he was once the ruler of the Molic region of the Tower until he subordinated himself to Jahad in exchange for becoming one of the Three Lords.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": The name Molic comes from the area he once lived in, while Molic One means "the absolute Lord of Molic".
- Good Old Ways: He is known as a conservative ruler who prioritizes the stability of the Tower.
- Master of All: Played With. According to SIU, in wielding his giant halberd, “it was not that he performed the role of every Position, but rather he fought without any regard to what a Position was.”
“Joochun”
Rank: High Ranker
Occupation: Lord of the Tower
One of the Three Lords. Formerly a member of the Ari Family.- The Alcoholic: To the extent he was colloquially named Joochun for his love of drinking (Joochun meaning “river of alcohol”).
- Bold Explorer: Joochun is known as someone who advocates for opening the path to the 135th Floor.
- Friendly Enemy: There is an unconfirmed rumor that he is a drinking buddy to Urek Mazino. Considering the latter’s adherence to Jahad’s rule is tenuous at best, a Lord of the Tower associating with him would be a major scandal.
- Liberty Over Prosperity: Joochun is known to be a progressive Lord who strongly asserts the advancement to the next Floor, despite the fact that this might destabilize the Jahad Empire.
Flux
Rank: High Ranker
Occupation: Lord of the Tower
Sobriquet: Magician
The third and most mysterious of the Three Lords.- Artificial Human: Flux is an artificial organism who is the creation and first disciple of Macseth, the Father of the Workshop.
- Master of Illusion: No one but Macseth has seen his real body, and Flux only communicates with the outside world through illusions.
- Mysterious Watcher: Along with Princess Jaina Repellista Jahad and Family Head Tu Perie Tperie, he owns one of the three Opera Lighthouses, the most sophisticated surveillance system in the Tower.
- Only One Name: Unlike the other Lords, he has only ever been known by the one moniker.
Jahad’s Altar
Jahad’s Altar is an organization dedicated to the worship of Jahad. They have the authority to act on Jahad’s behalf and act as a liaison with the Floor Rulers and Jahad Army. The organization receives Jahad’s will in the form of Three Orders that offer a choice between three separate directives to the Jahad Empire, one of which must be completed. After centuries, the most recent set of orders is received by Jahad, ordering his subjects to perform one of the following: Eliminate FUG; Eliminate the Regulars currently riding the Hell Train; or Eliminate the entire Poe Bidau Family. Stuah Arthur
Stuah Arthur
Tower Position: Light Bearer
Rank: Ranker
Occupation: High Priest
If the contents of this order are delivered to the Poe Bidau family, it could immediately lead to the outbreak of a war…It looks like our new recruit will have to be our sacrificial lamb.
A High Priest of Jahad's Altar. Upon receiving a set of orders from Jahad likely to lead to a war with the Po Bidau Family, he chooses to keep the orders secret.
- Apocalyptic Gag Order: After discovering that Jahad's final order would likely lead to war with the Po Bidau Family, he keeps it a secret from the military and Jahad administration.
- Bad Boss: He has no problem executing the majority of the Altar staff to maintain his secret.
- Manipulative Bastard: Arthur's attempt to keep the third order secret is done on the basis that the second order (capturing a bunch of Regulars in one location) should be the easier task regardless, making the former unnecessary.
- Mouth of Sauron: As High Priest of an Altar, his job is to inform the Jahad military and administration of Jahad's will.
- Necessarily Evil: For all his sacrifice of unwilling subordinates, his primary motivation is to avoid a Tower-shaking war.
Charlie
Charlie
Tower Position: Fisherman
Rank: Normal Ranker
Occupation: Jahad Altar Staff Member (formerly)
I want to see orders given too. Although I’ve heard that no orders have been given for centuries.
A new member of the High Altar who has the honor of witnessing the most recent set of Three Orders.
- Disposable Intern: As an inexperienced newbie who is in the room when Jahad's orders arrive, Charlie is the perfect candidate for a sacrificial lamb.
- Eyes Always Shut: The only time he opens his eyes is when using his special attack, "White Light Noise."
- Facial Markings: He has purple markings over his eyes that are implied to be related to his Sensory Overload abilities.
- Stumbled Into the Plot: He's just an Altar worker who happened to be present when Jahad's orders arrived. For most of the Last Station conflict, he's more of an observer, and is only there as part of Stuah Arthur's attempts to negotiate with Lee Xiawun.
- Punch-Clock Villain: He isn't super happy about attacking a Regular (which is against Tower rules in most cases). However, he's been ordered to help with the Last Station mission so has no choice.
- The Scapegoat: He's the scapegoat for the Altar conspiracy. Lucky for him, after his failure to capture Bam at the Last Station, he decides to join the Army until he can make up for it instead of returning to work.
- Sensory Overload: White Light Noise allows Charlie to negate his enemy's senses. Although it doesn't work on Ranker-level opponents, it's perfect for a Glass Cannon Regular like Bam.
- Underestimating Badassery: Justified on Charlie's end, as a Regular capable of fighting on the level of a Ranker hasn't happened since Urek Mazino. Unfortunately, Charlie is facing Bam.
- Also a downplayed version on Bam's end. While Charlie isn't an especially powerful Ranker, he's still a Ranker. Admittedly, by the time of the Last Station, Bam has offensive abilities that exceed his opponent's. However, Bam is nearly defeated by attempting to rely on this, as Charlie is well-rounded enough to be a threat, but not arrogant enough to just stand still and attempt to No-Sell Bam's strongest attack.
Law Enforcement
Royal Enforcement Division
Royal Enforcement Division
The Royal Enforcement Division (RED) is an auxiliary of the Jahad family tasked with upholding the name and image of Jahad. As infamous fixers for the King of the Tower, one of their chief responsibilities is to eliminate possible threats to Jahad’s rule. This occasionally requires them to assassinate members of the Jahad family who act against the will of Jahad in the form of hunting down rogue Princesses.- Elite Agents Above the Law: RED’s jurisdiction is subject only to Jahad, so they aren’t really beholden to rules established by the Ruler of a particular Floor.
- Judge, Jury, and Executioner: As they act under Jahad’s authority, the list of people a RED operative isn’t allowed to kill in pursuit of their mission is pretty short.
- Jurisdiction Friction: RED’s authority relative to Princesses is a bit ambiguous and they may openly clash with Princesses in pursuit of their objectives. As such, jurisdiction seems to come down to who is the stronger between the RED operative and the acting Princess (e.g., Ren v. Yuri when compared to Ren v. Endorsi).
- My Master, Right or Wrong: Averted, most of RED comprises Psychos For Hire motivated by bloodlust or Social Climbers looking for political gain. The only thing they all have in common is fear of Jahad’s power.
- Secret Police: They infamously act in the shadows to deal with threats before they are public.
- You Are Number 6: It's implied that each member of RED is identified by a number.
Specific Members
- Lo Po Bia Ren (No. 67)
Princesses of Jahad
The Princesses of Jahad are adopted females that have, through arduous exams, proven themselves worthy of receiving Jahad's blood, giving them more power. They represent Jahad. They are the only ones allowed to carry the name of Jahad, as he has no children of his ownnote . For their tropes, see Princesses of Jahad.
Jahad Army
The military branch of the Jahad Empire and the largest and most dominant army in the Tower.Commander-in-Chief
The leader of the combined armed forces, tasked with organizing and directing the Jahad Army.Squadron Commanders
Squadron Commander (or Army Corps Commander) is the second-highest rank of the Jahad Army, with a Commander having total control over one of the Five Corps of the Jahad Army. To reach this rank a soldier would have to be at least within the top-300 High Rankers, while every Corps Commander can exceed the combined strength of all their subordinates. Over millennia of existence, the army has never failed in any operation carried out directly by a Squadron Commander until Kallavan, Squadron Commander of the 4th Army Corps, failed to capture FUG Slayer candidate Jue Viole Grace at the Hell Train Last Station.
Kallavan
Kallavan
Tower Position: Fisherman
Rank: High Ranker
Occupation: 4th Army Squadron Commander (formerly); 4th Army Company Commander (currently)
Sobriquet: Human Hunter
King Jahad. The one true king, an omnipotent and omniscient being. I'm going to use this power to make this Tower surrender to him. And I will destroy anyone who stands in the way of this utopia!
A High Ranker and a former commander of Jahad's military. He is a fanatic who worships Jahad as an all-powerful god.
- Affably Evil: While he is surely a fanatic and one of Bam's deadliest enemies, Kallavan's surprisingly quite polite and well-mannered in normal circumstances, even towards enemies.
- A Father to His Men: He is genuinely fond of all the people serving under him. Fond enough of them for Jahad's military to order him to sacrifice all of them as a loyalty test.
- A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: While he didn't take him on as a student per se, Ha Jinsung met with him and gave him the occasional advice. When Kallavan made great achievements, Ha Jinsung tried to recruit him as one of FUG's slayers, only for Kallavan to join the opposite side.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: One reason he worships Jahad and hates Bam is that Bam is willing to risk everyone to save everyone, letting his personal feelings get in the way of his cause, while Jahad sees everyone outside the Great Family leaders completely equally. Jahad's army turns out to see all of their underlings as equally disposable and orders Kallavan to sacrifice all of his men as a loyalty test.
- Broken-System Dogmatist: Despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary, Kallavan is completely certain that the only things preventing the Tower from becoming a complete utopia are the foolish challengers to Jahad’s ultimate authority.
- Enemy Mine: When he figures out that his immediate superior, Lyborick, sent his squadron on what was meant to be an Uriah Gambit from the very beginning, he agrees to temporarily work with Bam until he can kill Lyborick and take his position.
- The Fundamentalist: He calls Jahad the one true king and worships him as a god. He believes that if all of Jahad's enemies are slain, it will turn the Tower into a paradise. He hates the Slayers who aim to kill Jahad as false and evil gods and even tells Karaka that he plans to rip him into pieces to show everyone how pathetic they are. Even so, Jahad's army still isn't sure he's fanatical enough since he actually values his men.
- Good Old Fisticuffs: Literately, apart from when he uses shinsu, his fighting style mainly revolves around this. He even states that his primary talent is fighting unarmed rather than throwing attacks.
- If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten!: Whether because they admired his power or his personality, many talented people agreed to join Kallavan's cause and serve under him. After Kallavan joined the Jahad empire, they continued to serve under him as a formal squadron. But the Jahad Empire only wants completely fanatical and disposable soldiers. Even if Kallavan worships Jahad as a perfect being, the fact that he cares for his men and the fact that their loyalty is to him personally instead of Jahad is seen as a hindrance, so they test him with an Uriah Gambit to make him sacrifice all of his underlings as a loyalty test. While Kallavan gives in, his soldiers end up sacrificing their lives for nothing, much to the amusement of his superiors.
- Lightning Bruiser: He's not just extremely tough, he's also incredibly fast and strong. This means that even working together, Bam and Karaka aren't just faced with the problem of harming him, they are also faced with the difficulty of attacking fast enough with a powerful enough attack, while any attack Kallavan lands can easily damage them badly.
- MacGuffin Guardian: He originally belonged to a long line that acted as one for an artifact called the Essence of Bravery. Ha Jinsung suggested that Kallavan should stop guarding it and take it for himself. Kallavan accepted his advice, seeing the artifact's past and inheriting the power of the person sealed inside, giving him enough strength to become a high ranker.
- A Nazi by Any Other Name: According to
Word of God, Kallavan's obsessive loyalty to the Jahad Empire is meant to bring to mind a young German soldier. - Super-Toughness: He ignores any attack that won't affect him, which is most of them. He brags that his body is even tougher than the people of the Ha Family and Ha Jinsung's students describe him as being like a fortress.
- Utopia Justifies the Means: He plans to kill everyone who stands in Jahad's way, because he believes that will turn the tower into a paradise without tragedy or war.
- Underestimating Badassery: When fighting Lyborick, he initially believes that even drained, he would still be able to easily defeat him as he isn't known for his combat prowess. Unfortunately for him, Lyborick turns out to be a genuine Authority Equals Asskicking and he pays for his beliefs by being manhandled by the man in close-range combat.
- Villain Respect: He respects Ha Jinsung's strength. Once Lyborick demonstrates he didn't replace him because he had connections but because he was truly incredibly powerful and competent, Kallavan is not bothered and instead admits that Lyborick is worthy of respect.
- Worf Had the Flu: Although Lyborick is a genuine badass who's a veteran from Genesis, part of the reason why Kallavan is losing to him is that he has been worn down from all the preceding fights. Not to mention that he is also unfamiliar with Lyborick's fighting abilities, leaving him unprepared.
Po Bidau Lyborick Khun
Po Bidau Lyborick Khun
Tower Position: Spear Bearer
Rank: High Ranker
Occupation: 4th Army Squadron Commander
Did you think I earned my place as Army Corps Commander by pulling strings when I was incompetent? Sorry to break it to you, but you're wrong. I made my way up here...through skill alone!
The current Squadron Commander of the Fourth Army Corp of the Jahad Army, replacing Kallavan after his demotion.
- Authority Equals Asskicking: Played With. He is an extremely powerful High Ranker, but while his fighting abilities are incredible, doing the dirty work for the Army means he didn't have a high rank at all at first.... Until he becomes a Squadron Commander and he proves that he was selected for that title because he truly is powerful enough.
- My Country, Right or Wrong: Lyborick's the only Po Bidau who is still on Jahad's side despite Jahad's orders to wipe out his family, and he is more than willing to support the government against it, even leading the alliance that will go to war against the Po Bidaus.
- Lightning Bruiser: He may not be muscular like Kallavan is, with a preference for long-range combat, but he is still tremendously fast and strong too. He is able to casually react to Kallavan's attacks and punch and stab him with enough force to disorient and send him flying. He also appears to be even faster than Kallavan, as his attacks are fast enough to drive him back repeatedly.
Lo Po Bia Yasratcha
Lo Po Bia Yasratcha
Tower Position: Anima
Rank: High Ranker
Occupation: 5th Army Squadron Commander
Do you know the emotion you're feeling right now? The feeling that you're so much smaller than your opponent. Where the chills running down your body leave you completely helpless. It's probably not something you've felt before. It's called fear.
A High Ranker and a Squadron Commander of the Fifth Army Corp of the Jahad Army.
- Affably Evil: While faux when dealing with enemies, around with his allies on the Empire, Yasratcha is shown to be actually a pretty nice guy. He speaks to Kallavan after his fall from grace with politeness and formal respect even as the latter adheres to him as a superior and refers to Maschenny with the proper respect any other member of the Empire would show. He also treats his subordinates well, even saving them when he could.
- Ambiguous Situation: Apparently, according to Doom, he is the one who framed Baylord Wang Wang of treason and lead the Canines to kill him because he wanted Wang Wang's Fang. However, when Yama experiences a vision upon acquiring another of Wang Wang's fang, Yasratcha is shown to have instead actually been reluctant to do so and even offered Wang Wang a chance to work again with the Lo Po Bia Family. This combined with Yasratcha's previous hesitation to outright murder Doom and Yama make it ambiguous whether or not Yasratcha was really completely at fault or if he was just following orders. When confronted again with Yama, Yasratcha states that while he is the one who killed Wangwang, the real culprit behind his demise is Traumerei.
- It's later revealed that he is in fact the real culprit behind Nen Neya's death, being jealous of her relationship with Wangwang, but he did that because he wanted Wangwang to escape with him.
- The Corruptor: Two of the Division Commanders of his Squadron who was at first against him became loyal to him because he managed to corrupt them. Haratcha was at first only following him to ensure the safety of the Rashangs, which Yasratcha knew of and patiently waited until the Rashangs turned against Haratcha to then reveal he had never been fooled and make it clear remaining conflicted will only cause him a lifetime of suffering. It worked wonders and Haratcha ultimately killed the Rashangs after realizing that they have become too power-hungry because of him. Kendrick Diel adamantly opposed his callousness in dealing with beasts until Yasratcha then shoved the cold truth that his ways may be more benevolent than Yasratcha's, but Yasratcha's ruthless ways are actually way more effective in securing the safety of civilians and took advantage of his crippled pride and disillusionment to tempt him into wanting to rule over all creatures.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: His first fight with Yama's weakened state has him easily badly injure him with physical attacks.
- Didn't See That Coming: He never thought Traumerei would personally intervene with the Wangwang problem, assuming Traumerei would just send Branch Heads after him and Wangwang due to believing he didn't really care about Wangwang. Turns out Traumerei cares more than Yasratcha ever knew. The only reason he is still alive after he gets caught betraying him is because Wangwang asked Yasratcha to kill him and Traumerei either decided to turn a blind eye to his betrayal or chose to let him leave the family and enter Zahard's Army but disassociating himself from him.
- Even Evil Has Standards:
- Yasratcha may be sadistic with his enemies, but in the face of Lyborick's callousness in sacrificing the 4th Army Corp soldiers of Kallavan just to rebuild it entirely with stronger soldiers, even he is visibly uncomfortable and disgusted, calling him a psycho. He is also reluctant to fight Kallavan when he came just to get revenge on Lyborick and even offers to give him a chance to kill Lyborick.
- When a leader of the Rashangs came to him and revealed Haratcha's betrayal just so he can become a Feline, Yasratcha makes his disgust of their ungratefulness for Haratcha's loyalty clear and then cuts off his tongue at the spot. He doesn't kill Haratcha and gives him the chance to choose.
- Lazy as he may be, Yasratcha disapproves of Kendrick Diel's superiority beliefs that he can stay on a chair and make others fight for him just because he has power.
- Faux Affably Evil: Yasratcha constantly portrays himself with a giddy smile and polite demeanor, even when he is ruthlessly beating up his enemies or playing mind games on them. He also shows shades of this around Lyborick, which is actually quite justified. His arrogant attitude was already annoying him, even if he did try to keep a polite attitude around him, and by the time he learns of Lyborick's ruthless and power-grabbing scheme, he drops most affability around him and starts by being clearly angered and then coldly brushes his arrogant confidence to take responsibility before showing he is more than willing to sick Kallavan on him.
- Jerkass Has a Point:
- When called in to deal with a powerful beast who Kendrick Diel failed to handle, Yasratcha proceeded to easily defeat the beast and then cruelly tell the civilians to kill the giant rabbits that they were using as pets. When confronted by the devastated Kendrick Diel over this, Yasratcha simply found it amusing and revealed his actions may be callous but it was really for the sake of the village: The beasts that attacked the city was only targeting the rabbits as they were the prey and that normally they would never have attacked the civilians. Just dealing with the beasts won't be enough, as their hunger meant any suppression would only be temporary and no matter how Kendrick tries, had he been allowed to continue, the whole village would have been either destroyed by the beasts or damaged in the crossfire between the Army and the beasts. It breaks Kendrick so badly he goes from a creature-loving and well-meaning anima into a tyrannical controlling one.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Surprisingly, Yasratcha can be this. He is notably not discriminating or distasteful of Kallavan's failure and subsequent demotion, even telling him to not be formal and encouraging him to regain his position. When Kallavan briefly joins with FUG, Yasratcha was the only one who sympathized with him and offers him the chance to get revenge on Lyborick without having to fight. He is also willing to forgive Haratcha's betrayal of transferring the money he acquired fighting under Yasratcha to the Rashangs and give him a chance to fully dedicate himself to the Felines.
- Underestimating Badassery:
- Yasratcha was at first dismissive of Bam and the FUG forces attacking the Nest, still in a good mood after his crushing defeat of Yama, only for Bam to make him eat his words when he single-handedly stops Lyborick's plan that Yasratcha found crazy by using teleportation, a skill that Yasratcha himself claims is unique even among High Rankers. Afterward, he stops taking him lightly and acknowledges him as an Irregular.
- Yasratcha dismisses Mc Cage's concerns of Evankhell. That said, as it turns out Evankhell is heading out to find a place that connects the Nest to a whole battleship of Lo Po Bia's strongest Rankers, including the Family Head himself and Yasratcha knows it, this time he actually has a pretty solid reason to brush her off, as Evankhell herself is aware how grim the situation is.
- Most arrogantly and suicidally, Yasratcha fatally underestimated Traumerei, believing that as he had been acting like a lazy, callous Orcuson His Throne, he wouldn't bother to directly intervene in Wangwang's extermination. Traumerei proves him wrong in the worst way possible. Even years later, while he still acknowledges that Traumerei is fully capable of killing him, he believes that he can at least resist his mind control. This ends up being fatal for him, as Traumerei may or may not be capable of controlling him, but it turns out that he can still influence his mind and create illusions, and he pays for it by being summarily cut in half and reverted back to normal from his Full Transformation.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
- The usually sadistic and sarcastic Yasratcha loses his usual demeanor when Lyborick callously declares his intention to get rid of Kallavan's soldiers, being rather solemn and even frustrated by such a dirty-handed and cruel order.
- When Yama demonstrates that he has truly integrated the powers of the fang that Doom inherited from their father, Yasratcha's usual mocking demeanor is lost, being clearly grim and furious as he realizes his third fight with Yama will be much harder than ever.
- Never My Fault: He states that Traumerei is completely responsible for Wangwang's death and that he was just forced. That was despite the fact Yasratcha was the real reason Wangwang and Nen Neya were killed due to his jealousy and desire to have Wangwang all to himself. Even Kirin states that Yasratcha was the reason why Traumerei even had to kill the Canines. In fact, even Traumerei himself seems displeased to an extent by this, glancing away and frowning when Yasratcha sarcastically kept saying Traumerei was the real killer.
- Tranquil Fury: When Yama and Doom finally reached him, Yasratcha keeps a composed facade but his tone and dark face made it clear he was pissed.
- Trauma Conga Line: The entire arc displaying his past with Wangwang is very clearly a huge form of this:
- He starts off as a cat-human hybrid created by experiment. While the experiences he had climbing the Tower and being experimented on by the Workshop didn't break him, his friendship and perhaps even romantic love for Wangwang swiftly ends in tragedy, in a rather painful and prolonged way, with most of it being his fault.
- First, he loses Wangwang after failing to take him away from his master, then he gets introduced quite rudely to Lo Po Bia Traumerei who takes him as a pet.
- Afterwards, he spends years planning to escape with Wangwang, but then Wangwang meets and falls for Nen Neya, leaving Yasratcha seething in jealous fury and brooding about Wangwang's heat being stolen.
- Finally, his plans to free only himself and Wangwang ends in complete and utter tragedy where Traumerei easily outsmarts him and shows up himself.
- The only reason he is alive is because Wangwang pleaded for his, the Canines, and his children's lives, which Traumerei grants.... But not before giving him a sad but ultimately well-deserved kick by forcing him to kill Wangwang himself and then leaving him alone with a hardly subtle verbal condemnation of his actions by taunting him to enjoy his freedom and fulfill Wangwang's last wish himself. His freedom was granted at the cause of his friend's death and the man who he hated as his master letting him live in more of a Cruel Mercy and outright flaunting it in his face. It doesn't justify his actions and the even crueler person he became, given that he brought it on himself and clearly hasn't changed in any positive way, instead falling even deeper into depravity, but you can't help but at least be a little sorry about it.
- He starts off as a cat-human hybrid created by experiment. While the experiences he had climbing the Tower and being experimented on by the Workshop didn't break him, his friendship and perhaps even romantic love for Wangwang swiftly ends in tragedy, in a rather painful and prolonged way, with most of it being his fault.
- The Worf Effect:
- To show that Doom's fear of Yasratcha and warning to Yama and Paul not to tangle with him as being correct, Yasratcha utterly dominates a weakened Yama the first time they fight, and Doom's belief that Yama would not have the strength to defeat Yasratcha alone even at full strength was later proven correct when Yasratcha defeated Yama once more, though with a fair more amount of effort. While this was aided by the fear Yasratcha placed on Yama before, even Yama acknowledged Yasratcha was much stronger than he had expected, meaning he did feel that Yasratcha would have been stronger than him even without that setback.
- Yasratcha gets on the receiving end when he challenges Traumerei of all people. He activates his Full Transformation that utterly wrecked Yama, but despite the fact he is immune to mind-control, all it does against Traumerei is make him bluntly declare Yasratcha is unworthy and he simply sicks two of his beasts. Just when he finally bypasses the two, which is more because he avoids and counters them rather than being able to overpower them, Traumerei responds by nonchalantly spawning an octopus that easily pins him down and the only reason he doesn't lose is because Yama rescues him. Then a dragon appears just when he again gets close to Traumerei and simply appearing and letting out an attack in a sense kills him. He only survives because he has a Healing Factor and said trait gets weakened because the dragon is just that powerful. He and Yama working together can't make a dent against the two of them, and Traumerei is not even controlling them directly, just spawning them and having them fight automatically. The fact that Traumerei is literally Just Toying with Them the entire time makes it clear even a Squadron Commander and a Slayer can't even remotely compare to a Family Head and displays just how overwhelmingly strong the Great Warriors are.
- Yandere: Whether he was in love with Wangwang or is just possessive, Yasratcha surely spent most of his time in the flashback seeking simply to have Wangwang all for himself, even killing Wangwang's wife just to make him betray Traumerei and not caring about his children. It takes having to kill Wangwang himself for Yasratcha to have a change of heart.

Tower Position: Light Bearer
Rank: High Ranker
Occupation: 4th Army Squadron Vice Commander
Why do you oppose King Jahad? You are only ensuring your own death.
Vice-Squadron Commander of the 4th Squadron and Servant of Kallavan.
- Barrier Warrior: Elpathion's primary role in the latter half of the Last Station Battle is to protect most of the combatants from the fallout of Evankhell's battle with 44th Floor Ruler Khun Royale Elliot.
- Hold the Line: His primary role in the former half of the Last Station Battle is to help buy time against Evankhell for Kallavan to arrive.
- Mook Lieutenant: Elpathion is the initial CO of the mission to capture the Hell Train Regulars at the Last Station.
- Sadistic Choice: He provides one to Bam and his friends at the Last Station, demanding they sacrifice themselves to save the arrested Wangnan, Boro, Sachi, Bero, and Iruroe.
- Undying Loyalty: As is the case for most of the 4th Squadron, he has this for Kallavan and the Jahad Army.
Division Commanders
Division Commander is the fourth-highest rank in the Jahad Army, tasked with leadership of one of the four Divisions of a Squadron. Each Division Commander is a High Ranker that was appointed to the position by their Squadron Commander.

Tower Position: Fisherman
Rank: High Ranker
Occupation: 4th Army Squadron – 1st Division Commander
I'm sorry, Princess. We're simply following orders from the Commander-In-Chief. She told us to detain everyone on that train. Including you.
A Division Commander and Servant of Kallavan who fights at the Last Station. Part of the Ari Family.
- Fragile Speedster: Averted. Her slight frame and speed-based fighting style give off this impression. However, when Evankhell goes all out with her flames Sharon is able to stay standing. Considering the attack begins melting people alive, that's nothing to sneeze at.
- Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: Ari Bright Sharon's uniform looks positively regal, complete with high heels and cape, but they definitely don't hamper her speed.
- Lady of War: Zigzagged. Her primary motivation is to avoid war, but she has the skills and aesthetics to qualify.
- The Lightfooted: She's stealthy enough that Evankhell loses track of her in their brief fight, allowing Sharon an opening to destroy her sword.
- Reluctant Warrior: An aversion to war is apparently In the Blood for her family, but she has no problem fighting when needed.
- Statuesque Stunner: She's at least a foot taller than her Vice Division Commander and is fairly good-looking.
- Weak, but Skilled: Compared to a Floor Ruler at least. Sharon and Elpathion's attempt to stall Evankhell depends heavily on the former's cunning and training.
- Worthy Opponent: Evankhell of all people develops respect for her skill and finesse.
Ha Cheonhee
Ha Cheonhee
Tower Position: Spear Bearer
Rank: High Ranker
Occupation: 4th Army Squadron – 2nd Division Commander
You haven’t gotten rid of that casual attitude of yours even now that you’re a Princess! Just what I expected! You’re not fit to be a Princess, Yuri!
A Division Commander and Servant of Kallavan. Part of the Ha Family, she formerly trained her cousin Jahad Princess Ha Yuri Jahad.
- Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Even after they come to blows, Cheonhee begs Yuri not to help Bam, as that would turn her into an enemy of the state.
- Bling of War: Cheonhee wears a fancy suit of gold and blue armor.
- Blow You Away: One of her weapons, a giant fan, allows her to conjure up a destructive flurry of Razor Wind.
- Cool Big Sis: In a flashback, she's shown training with a child Yuri and, even in the present, she encourages her to act in a mature, refined manner.
- Can't Catch Up: Cheonhee initially believes she can capture Yuri, as she seemingly eclipsed her in power back when they were Regulars. Yuri ultimately reveals that she used to hold back out of respect before showing how much she's grown since then.
- Eyes Always Shut: For unknown reasons, Cheonhee's left eye is constantly closed.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Yuri's tendency to just ignore responsibilities she doesn't like contrasts Cheonhee's dutiful and respectful behavior.
- Mind over Matter: Cheonhee somehow has the ability to levitate an entire train car with her mind.
- My Master, Right or Wrong: Her general priorities in order seem to be (1) The good of the Ha Family; (2) The good of the Jahad Army. Everything else, including her own life, is a distant concern.
- The Resenter: Cheonhee's Last Station fight shows that she has long held some animosity that someone as irreverent as Yuri has received such honor and respect. The fact that, despite all Cheonhee's efforts, the far less disciplined Yuri is both a Jahad Princess and Ha Yurin's favorite, makes her quite bitter.
- Shout-Out: Her design is based on artistic depictions of a bodhisattva (person on the path to Buddhahood).
Nyono Wan
Nyono Wan
Tower Position: Light Bearer
Rank: High Ranker
Occupation: 4th Army Squadron – 3rd Division Commander
Just watch. You'll see how strong the Squadron Commander is once he decides to fight for real!
A Division Commander and Servant of Kallavan who is part of the force to capture Ha Jinsung.
- The Force Is Strong with This One: He is able to note Jinsung's incredible strength at just a glance.
- The Greys: His appearance is a Shout-Out to this classification of alien.
- Levitating Lotus Position: It's unconfirmed whether Nyono levitates because the cushion he sits on is an empowered item, or whether his Shinsu mastery allows him to float.
- Teleportation Rescue: Played with. After his defeat, Jinsung orders the 4th Squadron's vessel shot down. In order to use their warp gate to travel to the Last Station battle, Kallavan has Nyono teleport him into the exploding warship.
Other Commanders
Khul Nissam Kay
Khul Nissam Kay
Tower Position: Fisherman
Rank: High Ranker
Occupation: 4th Army Squadron – 1st Division Vice Commander
You're the strongest one here, aren't you?! Your head is mine!
Ari Bright Sharon's Vice Commander, a Glory Seeker member of the 4th Squadron.
- Arranged Marriage: He apparently has a marriage in the works with a daughter of the Yeon Family.
- Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Kay has a fairly high opinion of himself, believing he's not only capable of defeating a FUG Slayer, but also one of the most dangerous Floor Rulers.
- Blood Knight: Upon seeing the notoriously violent and powerful Evankhell, Kay immediately decides to attack her alone, without waiting for orders.
- Jerkass: Kay rather cruelly mocks the injuries White gave to Frog's Shinheuh summoning Pollack.
- Offhand Backhand: He predictably receives this from Evankhell, blowing him away and destroying his polearm.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Considering Evankhell is of comparable strength to a Corps Commander, the idea of him attacking her alone seems more like suicidal stupidity than bravery.
Dorian Frog

Pollack
There are...some strong ones.
Ha Cheonhee's Vice Commander, a level-headed member of the 4th Squadron.
- Amphibian Assault: Frog fights alongside his pet...frogs.
- Animal Motifs: His name, animal summons, and clothes are all frog-themed.
- Improbable Weapon User: He fights using some sort of interdimensional well with a handle, which is weird even for the Tower.
- Making a Splash: Using his weapon, Frog is able to produce an impromptu typhoon of water.
- The Reliable One: Looks aside, Frog is shown to be fairly straitlaced and capable. He not only stops the Hell Train personally, but also has an extended fight with (a weakened) White.
- Summoning Artifact: The weapon that Frog keeps his Shinheuh, Pollack, in is also called a Bowl. It can also summon a collection of eyes to assess his enemy's threat level and a collection of tongues used to emit mucus and trap his opponents.
- Uncatty Resemblance: Pollack wears similar-looking headphones to Frog, while Frog's sweatsuit matches Pollack's skin.
- What the Hell Are You?: Frog's assessment of White's threat level varies rapidly throughout their fight. Specifically, every time White has time to build up his strength, an ominous vibe begins pouring out of him. However, because White keeps wasting his power on showy attacks, he keeps regressing to a barely-Ranker-level pushover. It takes until White pulls out a Wave-Motion Gun Sword Beam that nearly one-shots him before Frog finally believes it.
Phonsekal Drak
Phonsekal Drak

Must be true that the laziest bird catches the tastiest worms.
A member of the Phonsekal Family and the 2nd Division of the 4th Squadron who has recently been demoted to Company Commander for his extreme laziness.
- Born Lucky: A number of Hell Train Regulars fall into his lap minutes after Drak wakes up. He even lampshades his good fortune.
- Deliberate Under-Performance: Implied, as he takes pride in expending as little effort as possible and seems to rely on his superior Dorian Frog to pick up the slack.
- Mellow Fellow: Drak is much more laidback than the grumpy Lauroe and the stoic Iruroe.
- Sleepyhead: Given what family he's in, who would expect otherwise?
- Thicker Than Water: After recapturing the Last Train hostages, he takes Iruroe into his personal custody.Bero Bero: I hate personal connections!!!

Lo Po Bia Porp
Lo Po Bia Porp
Rank: Ranker
A member of the Great Lo Po Bia Family who appears at the 39th Floor's Name Hunt Station. During the station's name auction, Porp attempts to stop everyone from bidding on Elaine since she's been working at Name Hunt Station to pay off a money debt that she owes to their family.
- Big "WHAT?!": Has this reaction when he witnesses Jinsung spend as much as 10 billion points on Elaine's name at the Name Hunt Station auction. Porp only bid up to 60 million.
- Evil Mask: Along with being a jerk, Porp wears a threatening animal-themed silver mask over his face.
- Evil Plan: When Elaine appears as an item to be sold off at the station's name auction, Porp attempts to keep her stuck at Name Hunt Station by ordering all the auction bidders not to bid on Elaine's name since she's in the midst of paying off a family debt. However, Ruda and Jinsung decide to bid on Elaine anyway. Porp ends up losing the bid war on Elaine's name since Jinsung bet 10 billion points while Porp only bid as high as 60 million. The result is Elaine being freed from the station.
- Fangs Are Evil: His silver mask has sharp white fangs.
- Jerkass: He's perfectly okay with trying to stop Elaine's freedom from Name Hunt Station just to continue the Lo Po Bia Family's plan of keeping her trapped there forever paying off a money debt that never decreases.

Ha Ruda

- Bald Head of Toughness: He's a powerful Ranker who also happens to be mostly bald headed.
- Big "WHAT?!": Has this reaction when he witnesses Jinsung spend as much as 10 billion points on Elaine's name at the Name Hunt Station auction. Ruda only bid up to 2 billion.
- The Plan: He was ordered by Princess Yuri to buy all the names at the Name Hunt Station auction, including Viole's name since Yuri believed that Bam would lose to the station's warlord, Kaiser. Unfortunately for them, Bam ended up defeating Kaiser, which resulted in him not appearing as an item to be sold off at the station auction.
- Sharp-Dressed Man: Ruda's appearance has him wearing a nice looking male red suit. Though it might have just been to look nice during the Name Hunt Station's auction event.
- Undying Loyalty: He's proud and excited of the fact that he serves Yuri, the Ha Family's Jahad Princess.
